43
00:02:00,159 --> 00:02:03,920
want to play a SoundBite from Pete Bebecuah, the ad

44
00:02:04,319 --> 00:02:05,159
for Notre Dame.

45
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:09,639
Speaker 3: Now he states that the ACC.

46
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:12,199
Speaker 2: Did permanent damage to its relationship with Notre Dame for

47
00:02:12,319 --> 00:02:16,599
all of the anti Irish playoff politicking the conference publicly

48
00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:18,759
leaned into in the lead up.

49
00:02:18,759 --> 00:02:19,800
Speaker 3: To the selection show.

50
00:02:20,400 --> 00:02:24,879
Speaker 2: Let's listen in and see pontificates on this particular issue.

51
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:28,000
Speaker 3: What role did the ACC play in any of this

52
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:28,800
in your opinion?

53
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:31,319
Speaker 4: Well, I would tell you, I mean again, I have

54
00:02:31,439 --> 00:02:35,560
tremendous respect for Miami, you know, the great team, great school,

55
00:02:36,159 --> 00:02:39,639
their athletic director, Dan Radikovich, is a good friend, and

56
00:02:39,719 --> 00:02:42,800
all the teams in the ACC great wonderful universities. We

57
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:46,360
have no gripes about any of the schools in the ACC,

58
00:02:47,439 --> 00:02:50,759
but we were mystified by the actions of the conference

59
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:55,719
to attack their biggest really business partner in football and

60
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:59,360
a member of their conference in twenty four of our

61
00:02:59,439 --> 00:03:03,599
other sports. And I would tell you, Dan, I wouldn't

62
00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:05,599
be honest with you if I didn't say that they

63
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:08,639
have certainly done permanent damage to the relationship between the

64
00:03:08,719 --> 00:03:10,080
conference in Notre Dame.

65
00:03:10,759 --> 00:03:12,879
Speaker 5: What do you mean, just we.

66
00:03:12,840 --> 00:03:16,960
Speaker 4: Didn't appreciate the fact that we were singled out repeatedly

67
00:03:18,199 --> 00:03:21,479
and compared to Miami. No by Miami. Miami has every

68
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:23,960
right to do that, but it raised a lot of

69
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:27,199
eyebrows here that the conference was taking shots at us,

70
00:03:27,240 --> 00:03:30,159
and you know, that's just not something we chose to do.

71
00:03:30,479 --> 00:03:32,280
We wouldn't choose to do that in the future, and

72
00:03:32,319 --> 00:03:35,039
people might disagree with us, but that's just not something

73
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:37,520
that we'd be comfortable with. And again, we have no

74
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:39,800
problem with any of these teams. These are all great teams.

75
00:03:40,240 --> 00:03:42,719
And you look at those teams, Miami, like I said,

76
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:43,919
great season.

77
00:03:43,599 --> 00:03:44,280
Speaker 6: They beat us.

78
00:03:44,719 --> 00:03:47,280
Speaker 4: You think about Alabama, and nobody's had more success in

79
00:03:47,319 --> 00:03:51,159
college football over the last decade than Alabama. But then,

80
00:03:51,199 --> 00:03:53,520
you know, I mean, you follow the sport so closely.

81
00:03:53,879 --> 00:03:55,919
Everybody was saying that we were one of a handful

82
00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:58,280
of teams that could win this whole thing, and now

83
00:03:58,280 --> 00:04:02,080
we have zero percent chances. Even Nick Saban, nobody knows

84
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:03,919
more about college football maybe in the history of the

85
00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:07,240
world than Nick Saban, you know, and he said yesterday, like,

86
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:09,840
how is Notre Dame not in this I mean, everybody

87
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:13,039
is just kind of confused and perplexed, and we don't

88
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:16,160
have good answers for the kids on our team, for

89
00:04:16,199 --> 00:04:17,079
our student athletes.

90
00:04:19,439 --> 00:04:22,680
Speaker 2: So, in response to these comments from Bebequahd, this is

91
00:04:22,720 --> 00:04:26,639
a statement from ACC Commissioner Jim Phillips. The University of

92
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:29,279
Notre Dame is an incredibly valued member of the ACC

93
00:04:29,920 --> 00:04:33,720
and there is tremendous respect and appreciation for the entire institution.

94
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:37,160
With that said, when it comes to football, we have

95
00:04:37,199 --> 00:04:40,959
a responsibility to support and advocate for all seventeen of

96
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:44,519
our football playing member institutions, and I stand behind our

97
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:46,920
conference efforts to do just that.

98
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:49,680
Speaker 3: Considering do just.

99
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:53,800
Speaker 2: That leading up to the College Football Playoff Committee selections

100
00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:56,839
on Sunday, at no time was it suggested by the

101
00:04:56,879 --> 00:05:00,399
AEC that Notre Dame was not worthy a worthy candidate

102
00:05:00,399 --> 00:05:02,560
for inclusion in the field. We are thrilled for the

103
00:05:02,639 --> 00:05:06,240
University of Miami, while also understanding and appreciating the significant

104
00:05:06,279 --> 00:05:10,240
disappointment of the Notre Dame players, coaches, and programs. You

105
00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:12,439
have a bit of a he said, she said situation here.

106
00:05:12,759 --> 00:05:20,319
Notre Dame's perspective is that the ACC okay executed a

107
00:05:20,439 --> 00:05:26,759
public relations campaign that was anti Irish. Bebequah stated that

108
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:30,839
as much that's his perception, that's his reality, that the

109
00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:38,040
ACC openly on out rightly undermined the Irish, okay, and

110
00:05:38,079 --> 00:05:40,759
that you know that it was unfair.

111
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:43,480
Speaker 3: And now the relationships on the rocks now they may be.

112
00:05:45,199 --> 00:05:48,920
Speaker 2: Exploring opportunities to move their Olympic sports or or redo

113
00:05:48,959 --> 00:05:52,560
the structure, redo the contract, maybe aligned with other schools,

114
00:05:52,680 --> 00:05:58,360
or just go full on independent, no more ACC football agreement.

115
00:05:58,439 --> 00:06:00,959
You don't get Notre Dame, you don't get piggyback offense.

116
00:06:01,319 --> 00:06:05,360
Anyone that's making money off Notre Dame. Notre Dame is

117
00:06:05,399 --> 00:06:09,360
fighting now. They're judo chopping in the throat. They're willing

118
00:06:09,399 --> 00:06:13,680
and ready to negotiate, okay, anything to get out of

119
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:16,680
those deals where they feel like they weren't an advocate

120
00:06:17,079 --> 00:06:21,800
for the Irish. That's what they've stated. They're drawing a

121
00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:25,920
line in the sand, okay. Or they're just saying, hey,

122
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:28,879
we're not gonna do business with you anymore, and they're

123
00:06:28,879 --> 00:06:30,279
gonna find a way out.

124
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:34,439
Speaker 3: So I asked the question what the number should be?

125
00:06:35,399 --> 00:06:40,199
Speaker 2: How deep should you go with a with a playoff

126
00:06:40,879 --> 00:06:42,920
bracketology in college football?

127
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:45,600
Speaker 3: How many teams? Is the ideal number of teams?

128
00:06:46,120 --> 00:06:51,199
Speaker 2: Okay, some people are saying sixteen, Some people are saying fourteen,

129
00:06:51,600 --> 00:06:55,959
some say twenty, some say twenty four. Ronald the three

130
00:06:56,000 --> 00:06:59,519
man Weaver, what's the right number and why?

131
00:07:00,319 --> 00:07:03,079
Speaker 5: To me, it's very simple been the right number is sixteen.

132
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:05,680
I believe. I don't think you can do twenty four

133
00:07:05,720 --> 00:07:08,720
and go away from conference championships right, because there's money

134
00:07:08,759 --> 00:07:11,279
involved there. It should now, I do believe this. I

135
00:07:11,319 --> 00:07:14,240
believe if a team's are gonna opt out future of

136
00:07:14,279 --> 00:07:17,480
conference championships and they should be penalized, but within the

137
00:07:17,519 --> 00:07:19,199
reason like if by you were to opt out like

138
00:07:19,240 --> 00:07:21,319
I do think Parker Kingston and we'll hear from this

139
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:23,920
sound a little bit later, there is validity and why

140
00:07:23,959 --> 00:07:25,800
should we play it for gonna be penalized before? It

141
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:27,839
doesn't matter if our only two losses are to a

142
00:07:27,879 --> 00:07:30,560
top four team, that shouldn't count. When we win eleven

143
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:32,839
and oh the whole time, there's there's validity and a

144
00:07:32,839 --> 00:07:34,879
player saying that being on the team. But I think

145
00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:38,480
it's sixteen. Right, you win your conference championship, you automatically

146
00:07:38,519 --> 00:07:40,480
go now with the P four teams of the Big

147
00:07:40,519 --> 00:07:44,120
twelve the SEC, the ACC, and you know Big ten.

148
00:07:44,199 --> 00:07:47,040
They should be allowed to get those first four rankings

149
00:07:47,079 --> 00:07:49,439
depending where it's at, but you expand it to where

150
00:07:49,439 --> 00:07:51,720
there's multiple at large as Again, Ben, if it's sixteen,

151
00:07:51,879 --> 00:07:53,319
I said this last year, by you would have had

152
00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:56,560
opportunity to go even to the college football playoff last year. Now,

153
00:07:56,560 --> 00:07:58,240
maybe they didn't deserve it as much because they lost

154
00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:00,079
it down the stretch, but according to the rest as

155
00:08:00,199 --> 00:08:03,160
man all the qualifiers, they deserved it this year. So

156
00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:06,680
I think sixteen is the right number bin of going

157
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:08,800
to the college football playoffs. I don't think twenty four

158
00:08:08,879 --> 00:08:11,240
is good because you go away from conference championships and

159
00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:14,920
I do believe that, you know, you should be rewarded

160
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:17,920
if you win that. But it's also like basketball in

161
00:08:17,959 --> 00:08:20,800
a way, even if you don't win your conference championship,

162
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:22,720
if your resume is good, you do that strictly on

163
00:08:22,759 --> 00:08:25,120
the resume, not an eye test, not how you feel,

164
00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:29,720
not of that, strictly upon your resume. Like basketball, Quad one, Quad, two, Quad, three,

165
00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:32,279
Quad four, you're in. Yes, if you lose late, that

166
00:08:32,279 --> 00:08:34,279
can matter, but it doesn't affect And that's why I

167
00:08:34,279 --> 00:08:36,799
feel sixteen is the best because even if you slip

168
00:08:36,879 --> 00:08:39,320
up being late in the season like BAU did last year,

169
00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:41,759
they still I think would have been into it into

170
00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:44,320
a degree. So I think I think winning in the

171
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:46,840
regular season should matter been and you can't judge a

172
00:08:46,879 --> 00:08:49,600
team off of their losses and just in the season,

173
00:08:49,720 --> 00:08:51,320
especially if you're not going to say that was a

174
00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:53,919
good loss to BYU in Texas Tech. So sixteen is

175
00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:54,519
a number for me.

176
00:08:54,600 --> 00:08:58,720
Speaker 2: Man, if you go sixteen, you're still leaving out some

177
00:08:58,759 --> 00:09:02,200
big brands, right, mission may be ticked off. Right When

178
00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:04,159
I'm talking about big brands, I'm talking about these equity

179
00:09:04,200 --> 00:09:06,480
stakeholders in college football that have a lot of pomp

180
00:09:06,519 --> 00:09:11,879
and circumstance and resources surrounding them. You would leave out Michigan. There,

181
00:09:12,519 --> 00:09:14,919
you leave out U of A. Maybe that's not a

182
00:09:14,919 --> 00:09:22,600
big deal to some Virginia would be left out as well. Okay, Which, look,

183
00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:26,320
you're gonna have complaints no matter what. You just don't

184
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:28,919
want the squeaky wheels to be the biggest wheel in

185
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:32,159
college football. Is leaving Michigan out as a nine and

186
00:09:32,240 --> 00:09:32,799
three team?

187
00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:35,000
Speaker 3: Right? Is that a cutoff?

188
00:09:35,399 --> 00:09:38,399
Speaker 2: That that's gonna tick off enough people, and there's gonna

189
00:09:38,399 --> 00:09:43,039
be all manner of turmoil and anger in college football.

190
00:09:43,240 --> 00:09:43,679
Speaker 3: I don't know.

191
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:46,720
Speaker 2: Maybe I think it'd be good to have USC in

192
00:09:46,759 --> 00:09:48,440
the playoff. I think it'd be good to have a

193
00:09:48,600 --> 00:09:50,720
rising u of a team. I think it'd be great

194
00:09:50,759 --> 00:09:52,080
to have Michigan in the playoff.

195
00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:52,399
Speaker 3: Shoot.

196
00:09:52,399 --> 00:09:54,840
Speaker 2: I think Virginia is a really good football team at

197
00:09:54,840 --> 00:09:57,480
ten and three, tu Lane's at number twenty at eleven two.

198
00:09:57,519 --> 00:10:00,480
Obviously they got into one of the highest highest ranked

199
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:05,840
conference champions. Okay, so they already automatically get in. So

200
00:10:05,879 --> 00:10:07,919
who gets ousted? Look, a lot of people are like,

201
00:10:08,039 --> 00:10:12,240
let's just go twenty four. That way, everybody's happy, everybody

202
00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:16,000
be it, and then it's going to be a seeding situation.

203
00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:19,879
So why can't you go to twenty four, Ronald, Why

204
00:10:20,159 --> 00:10:23,759
why can't you do twenty four teams in a bracket

205
00:10:23,919 --> 00:10:29,879
style with uh with with buys amongst the top seeds

206
00:10:29,919 --> 00:10:32,519
in college football to start it all off?

207
00:10:32,919 --> 00:10:35,559
Speaker 5: Well, look, I mean go back to the championship game

208
00:10:35,600 --> 00:10:37,840
against Virginia. They lost to Duke been Like, that's a

209
00:10:37,879 --> 00:10:40,279
third loss. Like, you go to the college football playoff,

210
00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:41,720
that's not good for your brand.

211
00:10:42,519 --> 00:10:44,919
Speaker 2: Texas at the nine to three team, they have a fan,

212
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:49,559
they have a great resume. They but Ben, oh my hell,

213
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:52,320
I'm just saying that, Yeah, they could lose.

214
00:10:52,399 --> 00:10:53,759
Speaker 3: Any team could lose in the playoffs.

215
00:10:53,799 --> 00:10:56,120
Speaker 2: What I'm saying is, everybody, if you got to realize

216
00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:59,960
the repercussion to keeping it limited. More and more team

217
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:03,600
teams are not going to play in bowl games because

218
00:11:03,639 --> 00:11:05,919
the calendar is ruined. I've told you guys this time

219
00:11:05,960 --> 00:11:10,200
and time again. The calendar is creating this chaos. So

220
00:11:10,759 --> 00:11:14,600
we've seen now how many Big twelve teams not wanting

221
00:11:14,639 --> 00:11:16,639
to play in bowl games because they've already started with

222
00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:20,799
their offseason acquisition and retention plan. They don't have time,

223
00:11:21,039 --> 00:11:24,679
they don't have resources. Coaches of law coaches are gone,

224
00:11:24,759 --> 00:11:27,279
they're going to other schools. Then you're having gas and

225
00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:31,519
analysts coach the respective teams. There's turmoil everywhere. There's an

226
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:37,360
organizational design issue with this from a calendar standpoint. So

227
00:11:37,960 --> 00:11:41,799
the only way to low level fix it is to

228
00:11:41,919 --> 00:11:47,159
expand the playoff in disregard the ball system to a degree. Right,

229
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:51,399
you could have some premiere non CFP bowls. That's fine,

230
00:11:51,799 --> 00:11:54,080
that's great, that's great, but remember you're gonna expand the

231
00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:57,440
CFP balls, the Pop Tarts ball, the Alible Bowl. Those

232
00:11:57,480 --> 00:12:03,360
all may become the first round games. So they get THEIRS,

233
00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:08,000
they get a BYU Notre Dame game, they get a

234
00:12:09,960 --> 00:12:12,840
Utah USC game, they get the money.

235
00:12:12,879 --> 00:12:13,879
Speaker 3: They're taken care of.

236
00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:17,919
Speaker 2: But the the the bowl games that maybe don't bring

237
00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:21,919
as much money, much Bob much circumstance, they're they're relegated, right,

238
00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:24,919
So it's the easiest way to.

239
00:12:25,039 --> 00:12:28,600
Speaker 3: Make the big brands ESPN.

240
00:12:28,720 --> 00:12:33,519
Speaker 2: Uh and and many of the UH the the other

241
00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:38,559
sponsoring Corporate America institutions happy. That's the only way. So

242
00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:41,080
I understand, like you, Oh, they're gonna lose. They could lose,

243
00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:43,279
Like dude, I'm just trying to I'm just trying to

244
00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:46,960
create a buffer, a barrier of like, Okay, what's not

245
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:50,600
gonna is James Madison or sorry, it's North Texas gonna

246
00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:52,639
be pissed off because they didn't get in. Probably not

247
00:12:52,879 --> 00:12:55,159
Iowa was at eight and fourteen. They're probably not gonna

248
00:12:55,159 --> 00:12:57,399
get pissed off if they don't get in. Georgia Tech

249
00:12:57,600 --> 00:12:59,440
maybe not gonna be pissed off that they didn't get

250
00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:02,200
in at nine three, like so I'd be fine with that.

251
00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:05,840
Like twenty Mark, you get twenty teams in and you

252
00:13:05,919 --> 00:13:09,159
get most of the big brands in. If you're in that,

253
00:13:09,759 --> 00:13:14,360
you know that that three four loss situation and you

254
00:13:14,399 --> 00:13:16,639
don't have enough good wins, qualitative wins.

255
00:13:16,399 --> 00:13:19,200
Speaker 3: To get in. Texas has enough quality wins to get in.

256
00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:22,399
Speaker 2: They're a good football team, a well resourced football team.

257
00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:24,639
I would like to see Texas in right because of

258
00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:27,000
the brand, because of what they've done this season. It's

259
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:29,519
the same way I think about Alabama. Alabama does have

260
00:13:29,759 --> 00:13:32,559
arguably the best winning college football this season outside of

261
00:13:32,559 --> 00:13:35,080
maybe Indiana beating Ohio State in the in the in

262
00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:37,600
the Big Ten Championship game, but Alabama went into Georgia

263
00:13:37,639 --> 00:13:38,320
and b Georgia.

264
00:13:39,039 --> 00:13:40,440
Speaker 3: That's a really really good win.

265
00:13:40,480 --> 00:13:43,679
Speaker 2: And I empathize and sympathize with the committee wanting to

266
00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:47,080
put Alabama in. I think BYU should be and it'd

267
00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:48,679
be great, it'd be great, it'd be wonderful.

268
00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:50,639
Speaker 3: They have a cutoff this year.

269
00:13:51,080 --> 00:13:55,879
Speaker 2: That's that's the situation, and I just I want to

270
00:13:56,000 --> 00:13:59,799
have a we can sit here in pisson mode and complain.

271
00:14:00,519 --> 00:14:03,039
Speaker 3: I want to fix it. I want to fix it.

272
00:14:03,080 --> 00:14:04,440
Speaker 2: I don't want to just put a band aid on

273
00:14:04,480 --> 00:14:06,919
it by going we're just gonna go fourteen we're just

274
00:14:06,919 --> 00:14:10,799
gonna go sixteen. No, let's let's make it into an

275
00:14:10,799 --> 00:14:15,240
opportunity where certain Cinderella's get in, but the major brands,

276
00:14:15,639 --> 00:14:19,159
the best football teams get in as well, and we're

277
00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:23,519
not having to discuss all this trash on the back end,

278
00:14:23,679 --> 00:14:26,559
and we're not having to have Notre dame like say,

279
00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:28,799
we're not playing in a bowl game then, so the

280
00:14:28,799 --> 00:14:30,480
biggest brands are saying we don't want to play in

281
00:14:30,519 --> 00:14:31,039
bowl games.

282
00:14:31,039 --> 00:14:32,799
Speaker 3: That's ridiculous, that's absurd.

283
00:14:33,759 --> 00:14:36,840
Speaker 2: Unless you have some sort of incentive or accountability, you're

284
00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:39,759
not gonna change behavior. So we gotta figure out what

285
00:14:39,759 --> 00:14:41,519
the incentive is. We got to say, we gotta figure

286
00:14:41,519 --> 00:14:42,799
out what the accountability is.

287
00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:45,080
Speaker 5: But I feel sixteen will give you enough ben in

288
00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:47,240
here as well, Like if Michigan were to piss and moan,

289
00:14:47,679 --> 00:14:49,360
you've got it, you had a chance to beat Ohio

290
00:14:49,360 --> 00:14:51,279
State and control your own destiny. Like I think playing

291
00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:53,919
your schedule has to still matter to a degree, Like

292
00:14:54,039 --> 00:14:57,200
if it's sixteen, even those that pistimone last year would

293
00:14:57,240 --> 00:14:59,279
be in. And that's my point, Like I feel that's

294
00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:01,639
why it's the cut off, Like there is an opportunity

295
00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:04,080
in your schedule matters. Arizona will guess what you lost

296
00:15:04,080 --> 00:15:06,759
to by you in the season. Who beat you like

297
00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:09,000
that has to count. You have to take a punishment

298
00:15:09,039 --> 00:15:10,759
for that. Like us, he gets in as the last

299
00:15:10,799 --> 00:15:13,360
team as nine to three, like you tossed ten and two.

300
00:15:13,399 --> 00:15:15,879
Like those teams get enough been to do that. Your

301
00:15:15,919 --> 00:15:19,240
conference wins reflect where you should be at in the ranking.

302
00:15:19,559 --> 00:15:23,360
Speaker 2: Still entertainment though too, it's still entertainment. Michigan provides eyeballs

303
00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:24,799
and entertainment.

304
00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:26,440
Speaker 5: And I know that, but you have to be held

305
00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:27,440
accountable for your schedule.

306
00:15:27,480 --> 00:15:31,559
Speaker 2: Still, Like I said, the teams from twenty to twenty

307
00:15:31,559 --> 00:15:34,279
five right now in the colleg football playoff, Okay, Tulane

308
00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:37,399
obviously they're in Houston because of their highest one of

309
00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:39,559
the higher ranked uh you know G six is or

310
00:15:39,639 --> 00:15:42,039
conference champion Georgia Tech, Iowa, North Texas.

311
00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:44,519
Speaker 3: Jameson Madison that that's.

312
00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:47,080
Speaker 2: Where you're at right Like, so you're not gonna piss off,

313
00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:52,440
like these aren't like the power brokers the brands of

314
00:15:52,519 --> 00:15:55,879
college football. Yet they're they're they're new Houston's new money.

315
00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:58,440
Georgia Tech is on the rise and they've been a

316
00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:01,600
good brand over the years, but they haven't been a

317
00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:05,480
big time brand. Only at certain times have they been

318
00:16:06,039 --> 00:16:09,000
a remarkable They have a remarkable season of Calvin Johnson

319
00:16:09,039 --> 00:16:12,799
led season, et cetera. IOWA a good brand, not a

320
00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:16,519
great brand. They're akin to BYU in many ways. They

321
00:16:16,639 --> 00:16:19,799
have a similar trajectory of BYU in many ways from

322
00:16:19,799 --> 00:16:23,759
a talent and resource allocation standpoint. So I'm fine with

323
00:16:23,879 --> 00:16:26,159
leaving those teams out because it's not as big of

324
00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:28,639
a hit from an entertainment monetization.

325
00:16:29,039 --> 00:16:31,399
Speaker 3: You have to build bridges.

326
00:16:32,159 --> 00:16:35,000
Speaker 2: The only way to make this thing work is to

327
00:16:35,080 --> 00:16:37,360
go out there and build bridges. And you have like

328
00:16:37,399 --> 00:16:41,480
those three fasces, you have the big brands of college football.

329
00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:42,840
Speaker 3: That will continue to be resource rich.

330
00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:48,320
Speaker 2: You have ESPN, you have Fox, these these behemoth sports

331
00:16:48,360 --> 00:16:49,240
media entities.

332
00:16:49,320 --> 00:16:51,159
Speaker 3: Disney. We're talking about Disney.

333
00:16:52,039 --> 00:16:55,840
Speaker 2: I mean Disney billions of dollars, okay, and they want

334
00:16:56,000 --> 00:17:00,000
entertainment and they want eyeballs, and they want corporate sponsorship.

335
00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:02,200
And then you have, like I said, the corporate sponsorship.

336
00:17:02,240 --> 00:17:06,599
So those entities have to be fed and they have

337
00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:11,000
to be happy with what remains. And I still think

338
00:17:11,000 --> 00:17:14,200
there's a obviously there's a there's a lack of happiness

339
00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:16,680
amongst certain facets right.

340
00:17:16,599 --> 00:17:19,000
Speaker 5: Now, so I think, like, also this has been maybe

341
00:17:19,039 --> 00:17:21,119
you add this as a stipulation, Like I'm looking at

342
00:17:21,279 --> 00:17:24,759
the teams in Michigan lost to above them, right obviously, USC, Oklahoma,

343
00:17:24,799 --> 00:17:29,079
Ohio State, right, those are you opportunities? They are but

344
00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:31,000
but but to me, that's the accountability you lost. So

345
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:33,079
you don't get in even with the sixteen, like you could.

346
00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:34,920
You could have beat those teams, but you chose to

347
00:17:35,000 --> 00:17:37,519
lose that, right, you could not perform and I get it, brand,

348
00:17:37,519 --> 00:17:39,319
but you lost to other bigger brands.

349
00:17:39,519 --> 00:17:42,079
Speaker 3: They would knock the socks off of Tulane or James Man.

350
00:17:42,319 --> 00:17:43,759
Speaker 5: They would. I get that, But you have to still

351
00:17:43,799 --> 00:17:46,160
like other people who won their conferences. If you're playing

352
00:17:46,160 --> 00:17:48,400
a conference game, right, they still need to be rewarded.

353
00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:50,119
That's my thing. Unless you're gonna go away from it,

354
00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:52,559
which is fine. But then here's this, right, our eyeball

355
00:17:52,640 --> 00:17:54,759
is not gonna be on the the cheese at Bowl

356
00:17:54,799 --> 00:17:56,640
the cituers like I'm gonna watch that. I'm gonna watch

357
00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:59,480
Texas in Michigan, right like you, Maybe what you do

358
00:17:59,519 --> 00:18:01,119
is okay. If you didn't get in this a sixteen,

359
00:18:01,440 --> 00:18:03,599
then when you match up these teams in the Bowl games,

360
00:18:03,839 --> 00:18:06,440
these POSTERI, then you do that matchup, because like Michigan's

361
00:18:06,440 --> 00:18:09,279
gonna take on on New Year's Eve at one pm Texas, Like,

362
00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:11,519
that's the game you're gonna gonna people are gonna watch

363
00:18:11,519 --> 00:18:13,839
and see Ken arch manning Cam Michigan. Like, I think

364
00:18:13,880 --> 00:18:16,359
there's some validity in that having that game. So maybe

365
00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:18,160
that's what you do if you move into sixteen. I'm

366
00:18:18,160 --> 00:18:19,599
not saying it's the right answer, but if you go

367
00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:21,759
with that, guys that don't get in, then maybe are

368
00:18:21,759 --> 00:18:24,440
the Michigans or Howards. Can you match up those other

369
00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:27,160
top twenty five teams that are close to playing these

370
00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:28,400
Bowl games to get eyeballs on?

371
00:18:28,799 --> 00:18:31,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean like they like you said, I mean

372
00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:35,480
they're incentivized by their conferences, right, Obviously the Big twelve,

373
00:18:35,680 --> 00:18:38,440
these Big twelve teams, how many now are there that

374
00:18:38,599 --> 00:18:40,319
have said we don't want to play because they're in

375
00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:42,680
the they're in the middle ground here, they're five and seven,

376
00:18:42,759 --> 00:18:46,440
six and six right, Kansas State UCF. Right, these are

377
00:18:46,519 --> 00:18:49,680
five and seven teams that are essentially being told, hey,

378
00:18:49,799 --> 00:18:51,880
we'll give you a Bowl opportunity. They're like, we've already

379
00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:54,720
moved on we're already moving on. Like so the traditional

380
00:18:54,759 --> 00:18:59,960
ball system is going away. It's done, it's done. We're

381
00:19:00,839 --> 00:19:05,160
the corporate sponsorships that are looking for opportunities to put their.

382
00:19:05,039 --> 00:19:08,839
Speaker 3: Brand out there. Right like some of these lower level brands.

383
00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:12,720
Speaker 2: Maybe they may go by the wayside that it is.

384
00:19:12,920 --> 00:19:14,720
Speaker 3: That's your trajectory right now.

385
00:19:15,039 --> 00:19:19,440
Speaker 2: So the only way I see happening where where everybody's

386
00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:22,039
gonna be happy or most people are gonna be happy

387
00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:24,799
ninety percent of the people that are involved in college

388
00:19:24,799 --> 00:19:28,440
football athletics are gonna be happy, is to go into

389
00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:30,920
that twenty twenty four range. I don't know if sixteen

390
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:33,160
does it, don't. I don't know if sixteen does it.

391
00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:33,920
I just don't know.

392
00:19:34,279 --> 00:19:36,039
Speaker 3: I still think you're gonna get some major brands that

393
00:19:36,039 --> 00:19:37,519
are gonna be pissing on it. But it does help.

394
00:19:37,839 --> 00:19:39,599
If that's the case, we go sixteen.

395
00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:44,480
Speaker 2: Awesome, Let's get to sixteen, because having a sweet sixteen

396
00:19:44,519 --> 00:19:47,880
in college football has a sweet ring to it, has

397
00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:51,119
a glorious ring to it. And like I said, maybe

398
00:19:51,119 --> 00:19:54,839
all three of those entities that I mentioned will be

399
00:19:54,960 --> 00:19:57,559
happy enough in those situations, and you won't have enough,

400
00:19:57,680 --> 00:19:59,519
you won't have as much kicking and screaming on the

401
00:19:59,559 --> 00:20:02,680
bagg you're not one of the top sixteen seas. Technically,

402
00:20:02,799 --> 00:20:04,799
it's one of the top fourteen teams. If you continue

403
00:20:04,839 --> 00:20:09,039
to incentivize the G six conferences to go out there

404
00:20:09,079 --> 00:20:13,160
and win their respective conference championship game and they're the

405
00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:15,000
ranked in the top twenty five, you know you may

406
00:20:15,039 --> 00:20:18,160
get two of those cinderellas in So, how many cinderellas

407
00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:22,279
do you want in the college football playoff? You say two,

408
00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:26,359
two a year. We want to cinderellas. Okay, then you

409
00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:30,920
get the top fourteen teams in college football with their resumes,

410
00:20:31,279 --> 00:20:33,160
and that would have put me Yu in it. Obviously,

411
00:20:33,240 --> 00:20:36,279
that would have put Notre Dame in the conversation. Obviously,

412
00:20:36,559 --> 00:20:39,039
how good would their seatings fin Maybe it doesn't matter

413
00:20:39,039 --> 00:20:41,400

twelve championship game.

450
00:22:19,079 --> 00:22:20,880
Speaker 5: Yeah.

451
00:22:21,279 --> 00:22:25,799
Speaker 6: Yeah, uh, congratulations to Texas Tech and the coaches, the

452
00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:31,119
players and their fans well deserve Big twelve Championship.

453
00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:32,319
Speaker 5: I think.

454
00:22:34,319 --> 00:22:36,160
Speaker 6: You can't make a lot of mistakes like we did.

455
00:22:36,440 --> 00:22:38,920
We've learned it again. That's the second time this year

456
00:22:39,559 --> 00:22:42,440
against the best team in the country. I've said it before.

457
00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:44,480
I think they're the best team in the country, and uh,

458
00:22:45,119 --> 00:22:46,960
I'm confirming it. They're the best team in the country.

459
00:22:47,039 --> 00:22:50,319
Joey's done an amazing job with this team. It just

460
00:22:50,319 --> 00:22:51,839
so happens that we had to play the best team

461
00:22:51,839 --> 00:22:55,480
in the country twice and they created a lot of havoc,

462
00:22:55,519 --> 00:22:57,839
and we fought as much as we can, but towards

463
00:22:57,880 --> 00:23:00,000
the end, you can't make the mistakes that we did

464
00:23:00,279 --> 00:23:03,279
and expect to come come away with the victory or

465
00:23:03,319 --> 00:23:06,839
even have a competitive at the end. So credit to them.

466
00:23:07,119 --> 00:23:10,359
I'm really proud of our guys, the effort. Thank you

467
00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:14,079
to the fans. BYU fans showed up, and I mean

468
00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:18,880
it was a record attendance, you know, so you know,

469
00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:22,400
I want to just tell the uh, the bou fans

470
00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:24,599
just get ready, you know. Hopefully we'll be back soon.

471
00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:27,279
But with in our third year in the conference, really

472
00:23:27,279 --> 00:23:29,839
proud of where we've been and how we built this team.

473
00:23:30,599 --> 00:23:33,920
We obviously have some more work to do, but I

474
00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:36,440
think playing the best team in the country twice will

475
00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:39,640
be we'll give us some good lessons to learn. And

476
00:23:40,039 --> 00:23:43,319
just really proud of the way they played. And I thought, uh,

477
00:23:43,359 --> 00:23:46,759
looking at everything all three phases, just fundamentally really sound,

478
00:23:47,279 --> 00:23:51,920
well coached team, an amazing environment today in the in

479
00:23:51,960 --> 00:23:54,799
the stadium. Thank you to all the Texas Tech fans

480
00:23:54,799 --> 00:23:56,799
and the BYU fans for bringing the energy. It was

481
00:23:56,839 --> 00:23:58,920
a lot of fun. We just need to make it

482
00:23:58,920 --> 00:24:01,200
a little bit more competitive. At the end, but it

483
00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:03,039
got away from us. But really proud of the way

484
00:24:03,039 --> 00:24:05,279
our guys played and they didn't give up. They just

485
00:24:05,359 --> 00:24:08,359
I mean, we built our defense in some tough position. Uh,

486
00:24:08,440 --> 00:24:10,880
those guys kept badly and so we'll build up. We'll

487
00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:13,480
build from this and get better. But really really proud

488
00:24:13,559 --> 00:24:15,079
of our team.

489
00:24:15,160 --> 00:24:17,680
Speaker 5: But with that said and done, Uh, you.

490
00:24:17,799 --> 00:24:20,160
Speaker 6: Have to watch the film and everything, but it was

491
00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:21,880
an honor for us to be on this field and

492
00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:25,839
to be part of the Big twelve championship game. And uh,

493
00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:28,000
you know, we could get used to this. So I'm

494
00:24:28,039 --> 00:24:30,200
hoping that we can you know, be back again soon

495
00:24:30,759 --> 00:24:33,079
and looking forward to building. We have a quite a

496
00:24:33,119 --> 00:24:35,759
bit of young guys on our team, and so the

497
00:24:35,839 --> 00:24:38,640
unfortunate part is that this is our seniors last time,

498
00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:40,200
so they won't be able to play for another Big

499
00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:43,440
twelve championship. But uh, they've done some wonderful things and

500
00:24:43,519 --> 00:24:46,880
getting our team ready for it, and uh they're still leading.

501
00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:48,759
We still need to get better and to find ways

502
00:24:48,759 --> 00:24:51,559
to to you know, we well, we will play again

503
00:24:51,839 --> 00:24:56,039
in the in the postseason where we'll just find out.

504
00:24:56,079 --> 00:24:59,279
But congratulations again. I'll finish by saying in my statement,

505
00:24:59,319 --> 00:25:03,039
congratulations Texas Tech. I'll just confirm they are the best

506
00:25:03,039 --> 00:25:03,799
team in the country.

507
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:08,519
Speaker 2: Okay, agree or disagree with Koaladia Stockett Texas Tech. He's

508
00:25:08,599 --> 00:25:11,079
the best team of the country and Texas Teck is

509
00:25:11,079 --> 00:25:13,039
gonna win the national championship. What do you make of it,

510
00:25:13,119 --> 00:25:14,400
Ronald the three man Weaver.

511
00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:16,640
Speaker 5: Yeah, man, I said it on the elevator and some

512
00:25:16,680 --> 00:25:19,400
media members are looking at me sideways. I'll keep reiterating

513
00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:21,799
at Ben. I think I've seen enough, and I've watched

514
00:25:21,839 --> 00:25:25,759
Georgia and Alabama and I understand. But you can argue

515
00:25:25,799 --> 00:25:28,440
to a degree that the quarterback play from Georgia and

516
00:25:28,519 --> 00:25:31,400
Alabama quarterbacks and these other teams in the top ten,

517
00:25:31,759 --> 00:25:33,640
to a degree that Baron Morton has been the same

518
00:25:33,680 --> 00:25:36,599
situation like, oh, that was almost a near misinterception that

519
00:25:36,640 --> 00:25:38,759
you know Baron Morton have. There's been a bunch of

520
00:25:38,799 --> 00:25:40,839
people in the SEC that have had that too. But

521
00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:43,119
this defense is legit been. This Texas Tech defense is

522
00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:45,440
the top five defense. And I think they're gonna have havoc.

523
00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:47,799
I'm serious. I think They're gonna play a team at

524
00:25:47,799 --> 00:25:50,799
one point. It could be organ it could be Indiana.

525
00:25:50,799 --> 00:25:52,680
I don't know. I think they're gonna make it all

526
00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:55,400
the way and this they're gonna have a TCU Georgia

527
00:25:55,400 --> 00:25:59,240
type performance, like they're gonna beat somebody bad, like their problem,

528
00:25:59,319 --> 00:26:02,079
like they're fast, their physical, and I thought BAU was

529
00:26:02,119 --> 00:26:03,799
going to be at a chip away and after their

530
00:26:03,839 --> 00:26:05,880
first drive been in the first quarter, it was reps.

531
00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:06,599
They locked them up.

532
00:26:06,599 --> 00:26:10,880
Speaker 2: Ben Man, I really want to believe that this is

533
00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:12,640
the best team in college football.

534
00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:15,799
Speaker 3: They're definitely an elite team. They're definitely in the.

535
00:26:15,759 --> 00:26:21,440
Speaker 2: Top four of college football in my opinion. Indiana, Ohio State, right,

536
00:26:22,039 --> 00:26:25,079
and Georgia as well. Let's take I think all of

537
00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:26,960
these teams. Any one of these teams could win the

538
00:26:27,039 --> 00:26:33,200
national championship. ESPN sp plus puts Texas Tech at number

539
00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:39,519
three in college football, so their rating is thirty point three.

540
00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:44,640
Indiana is only zero point one closer to them, are

541
00:26:44,640 --> 00:26:47,000
ahead of them at thirty point four, and then Ohio

542
00:26:47,000 --> 00:26:48,119
State at thirty one point six.

543
00:26:48,160 --> 00:26:48,960
Speaker 3: Now we saw what happened.

544
00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:52,880
Speaker 2: Indiana beat Ohio State, right, So that's the number one

545
00:26:53,079 --> 00:26:56,640
sp plus team in the country losing to the number

546
00:26:57,200 --> 00:27:00,000
two team per s p plus. But it came down

547
00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:03,480
to the wire skin of their teeth right close one

548
00:27:04,039 --> 00:27:07,839
and so that's what it's gonna be, these games between

549
00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:13,240
the best of the best. Look if Tech faces Indiana,

550
00:27:13,279 --> 00:27:15,759
I think they match up extremely well. Obviously they have

551
00:27:15,799 --> 00:27:19,400
the number two team offensively and number four team defensively.

552
00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:21,960
Special teams is where they're a little bit down, But

553
00:27:22,079 --> 00:27:25,480
that's the same thing with Indiana. Techa six at forty

554
00:27:25,480 --> 00:27:28,240
three and Indiana's at thirty eight. From an efficiency standpoint,

555
00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:33,039
Indiana's offense is fourth, defense is second. These are gonna

556
00:27:33,079 --> 00:27:34,559
be entertaining games.

557
00:27:34,960 --> 00:27:35,720
Speaker 3: There's gonna be a lot.

558
00:27:35,799 --> 00:27:38,119
Speaker 2: I think there's gonna be a ton of parody in

559
00:27:38,200 --> 00:27:42,799
these semi final games with the best seeds of college football.

560
00:27:43,359 --> 00:27:44,559
Speaker 3: I don't know if there's gonna be.

561
00:27:44,599 --> 00:27:52,359
Speaker 2: Any sort of like Cinderella upsets in this particular bracket.

562
00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:53,880
Speaker 3: I don't see it.

563
00:27:54,680 --> 00:27:57,640
Speaker 2: I think the best seeds are gonna get into the

564
00:27:58,359 --> 00:28:01,599
semi finals and they're gonna duke it out one through four,

565
00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:02,440
two verse three.

566
00:28:03,359 --> 00:28:04,400
Speaker 3: It's gonna be tremendous.

567
00:28:04,519 --> 00:28:11,839
Speaker 2: If there was an opportunity for a a maybe upset

568
00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:15,160
to happen, where would it be in the bracket and

569
00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:16,759
why is it?

570
00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:19,079
Speaker 3: I mean, I'm trying to think of where the upset

571
00:28:19,119 --> 00:28:19,400
would be.

572
00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:21,559
Speaker 2: I guess it's too langan a knockoff Old Miss after

573
00:28:21,559 --> 00:28:23,519
Ole Miss beat them by three plus scores.

574
00:28:23,559 --> 00:28:24,039
Speaker 3: Probably not.

575
00:28:25,440 --> 00:28:27,720
Speaker 2: Do you view the Miami, Texas A and m game

576
00:28:27,759 --> 00:28:30,480
as like an underdog story? Miami's the underdog versus Taxa,

577
00:28:30,480 --> 00:28:33,279
A and M I don't think so. Now, if Miami

578
00:28:33,359 --> 00:28:36,880
or Texam get, you know, knockoff Ohio State, that would

579
00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:40,319
be an upset. Ole Miss knocks off Georgia that would

580
00:28:40,319 --> 00:28:47,000
be an upset. Alabama or Oklahoma knock off Indiana that

581
00:28:47,079 --> 00:28:51,359
would be an upset. Oregon knocking off Texas Tech because

582
00:28:51,359 --> 00:28:53,839
there's no way they're beating James Madison's beating Oregon.

583
00:28:54,680 --> 00:28:55,799
Speaker 3: That's a huge upset.

584
00:28:55,920 --> 00:28:59,920
Speaker 2: What's the most likely upset to occur in the quarterfinal?

585
00:29:00,200 --> 00:29:01,960
Speaker 3: Do you think Ronald a three man weaver?

586
00:29:02,599 --> 00:29:04,559
Speaker 5: Yeah, looking at it right now, Ben, If I had

587
00:29:04,559 --> 00:29:06,400
to be honest, I think the most likely one. And

588
00:29:06,440 --> 00:29:08,519
this is gonna sound crazy what I'm about to say.

589
00:29:08,559 --> 00:29:11,079
People might think I'm ridiculous for saying this. I think

590
00:29:11,079 --> 00:29:13,519
the most likely upset is Alabama over Indiana. Ben, I'm

591
00:29:13,519 --> 00:29:15,759
gonna be honest. Look, it's a team that's won multiple

592
00:29:15,839 --> 00:29:19,240
national championships. Has DNA. I know it's a different coach,

593
00:29:19,599 --> 00:29:22,839
it could be, but someone in that bracket also Oklahoma, Venables,

594
00:29:22,880 --> 00:29:25,359
like when you have a defense that's still you know,

595
00:29:25,480 --> 00:29:28,200
top ten, top fifteen that can perform when you have

596
00:29:28,559 --> 00:29:31,279
defensive minded coaches, I still think that could play a factor.

597
00:29:31,279 --> 00:29:33,720
Anya is a good football team. Kirkzinetti's done a good job.

598
00:29:33,839 --> 00:29:37,440
But again, Ben, this is his what early times coaching

599
00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:39,759
in the college football playoffs, Like you know, Kellen de

600
00:29:39,799 --> 00:29:42,079
Bor has been there, Venables has been there, like their

601
00:29:42,119 --> 00:29:44,119
ten year coach is not saying he's not, but he

602
00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:46,200
was at JAMU, he came over. He's been doing a

603
00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:48,359
good job. But if you wanted to have a time

604
00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:51,079
where you know, Number one decided to have their bad

605
00:29:51,119 --> 00:29:53,599
game and those that could be it in the quarterfinal,

606
00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:56,720
I believe that. And plus you're also playing an SEC team,

607
00:29:56,759 --> 00:29:58,920
so I think that could be difficult. So I could

608
00:29:58,920 --> 00:30:01,160
see the number one seed going down in the Rolls

609
00:30:01,279 --> 00:30:04,200
Bowl potentially that's my pick.

610
00:30:05,480 --> 00:30:09,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I'm bought in on Signetti in Indiana,

611
00:30:09,319 --> 00:30:12,359
Like I see what no everybody says. I'm bought in man,

612
00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:14,960
Like I'm a believer. I do not think they get ousted.

613
00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:17,880
I do not think like there's too much good football

614
00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:23,359
culture in that program right now to deter me from Like,

615
00:30:23,680 --> 00:30:26,680
I'm a believer in Signetti and the Hoosiers. Right now,

616
00:30:26,720 --> 00:30:29,680
it's insane as the number one seed in college football.

617
00:30:29,759 --> 00:30:31,880
Speaker 3: Like, I don't think they're ousted. I like the pick,

618
00:30:32,160 --> 00:30:34,440
and I've nothing against the pick. I understand where you're going,

619
00:30:34,839 --> 00:30:35,680
where you're coming from.

620
00:30:35,480 --> 00:30:39,079
Speaker 2: But Alabama is not the Alabama of old, and Oklahoma

621
00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:42,240
just doesn't have enough offensive firepower in my opinion right

622
00:30:42,279 --> 00:30:45,200
now to knock off Signetti and the Hoosiers.

623
00:30:46,160 --> 00:30:47,359
Speaker 5: None of these teams getting upset.

624
00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:49,759
Speaker 3: Man, that's oh miss, Yeah, that's what I'm saying, Like,

625
00:30:49,799 --> 00:30:50,839
I don't see en upset.

626
00:30:51,039 --> 00:30:53,559
Speaker 5: No, I don't. I don't see it.

627
00:30:53,920 --> 00:30:55,599
Speaker 3: I just don't see it happening.

628
00:30:55,960 --> 00:30:58,440
Speaker 2: I don't, man, Honestly, the way that I lean is

629
00:30:58,480 --> 00:31:01,079
more so like Ohio, they getting knocked off, but I

630
00:31:01,480 --> 00:31:02,200
highly doubt it.

631
00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:04,039
Speaker 3: Like most people are.

632
00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:06,440
Speaker 2: Gonna pick Tech Oregon knocking off Texas is the four

633
00:31:06,519 --> 00:31:09,039
versus of five, right, that's it's the four most But

634
00:31:09,720 --> 00:31:10,960
Texas Tech is underrated.

635
00:31:11,160 --> 00:31:12,039
Speaker 3: They're underrated.

636
00:31:13,880 --> 00:31:16,000
Speaker 2: There's no doubt in my mind that Texas Tech is

637
00:31:16,039 --> 00:31:20,240
a is a legitimate national title contender. And Bay fans

638
00:31:20,279 --> 00:31:23,000
are not even not just rooting for it, they believe

639
00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:27,599
it wholeheartedly as well. The haters are gonna say Texas

640
00:31:27,599 --> 00:31:30,880
Tech lost to a SU so they're very much beatable. Uh,

641
00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:34,240
but their full strength now, So you hope no injuries

642
00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:36,440
occur right in that in that Oregon game. But if

643
00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:39,000
they're healthy, uh, I think they take care of Oregon.

644
00:31:39,400 --> 00:31:41,359
I think it'll be a competitive one.

645
00:31:41,200 --> 00:31:41,559
Speaker 3: No doubt.

646
00:31:41,599 --> 00:31:44,839
Speaker 2: But Texas Tech definitely takes care of Oregon, and I

647
00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:47,559
think they win it in the trenches. That defensive front

648
00:31:47,599 --> 00:31:50,480
and offensive lines just way too freaking good we have

649
00:31:50,599 --> 00:31:53,680
BYO has got a great defensive front and they showcase

650
00:31:53,759 --> 00:31:56,599
well for for a half to sometimes three quarters.

651
00:31:57,079 --> 00:32:01,440
Speaker 3: But that team wears you down eventually. Man, they're gonna

652
00:32:01,440 --> 00:32:04,440
wear Oregon down. I gosh darn guarantee it.

653
00:32:04,759 --> 00:32:07,440
Speaker 2: You have great culture with great talent combined there with

654
00:32:07,519 --> 00:32:10,079
tech and great coaching, and I just don't see it happening.

655
00:32:10,079 --> 00:32:12,519
I don't see an upset any in any one of

656
00:32:12,519 --> 00:32:13,279
those quarterfinals.

657
00:32:13,319 --> 00:32:14,759
Speaker 5: But if I have one thought I would like to

658
00:32:14,759 --> 00:32:16,039
add to if I'm gonna.

659
00:32:15,880 --> 00:32:19,799
Speaker 2: Pick one, I mean, I'm I think Ole Miss is interesting, right,

660
00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:24,240
like i'd be I'd probably lean that way if Lane

661
00:32:24,319 --> 00:32:25,200
Kiffin was still there.

662
00:32:25,200 --> 00:32:27,759
Speaker 3: He's not. He's uh, he's not at LSU.

663
00:32:27,720 --> 00:32:27,839
Speaker 4: Uh.

664
00:32:27,920 --> 00:32:30,039
Speaker 3: So I'm gonna pick. I'm gonna pick. I'm gonna pick

665
00:32:30,039 --> 00:32:30,640
Ohio State.

666
00:32:30,680 --> 00:32:34,880
Speaker 2: I'm gonna pick Ohio State as my potential my most

667
00:32:34,960 --> 00:32:37,599
likely to be upset in the quarterfinals of the college

668
00:32:37,599 --> 00:32:38,319
football Playoff.

669
00:32:39,720 --> 00:32:41,839
Speaker 5: My thinging I wanted to say about this being because

670
00:32:41,839 --> 00:32:43,640
I saw this again. This came from John Kurtz, and

671
00:32:43,640 --> 00:32:46,119
I'm jumping on board with it. I understand that Tech

672
00:32:46,440 --> 00:32:48,559
paid a lot of money for its roster, and I

673
00:32:48,640 --> 00:32:50,720
understand you know that that, but the nature of Nila

674
00:32:50,839 --> 00:32:52,559
l right now and donors and wanting to do that,

675
00:32:52,960 --> 00:32:56,119
it's a disservice now that that's the narrative that they

676
00:32:56,200 --> 00:32:58,759
keep talking about on broadcast. Well, Tech paid this money

677
00:32:58,759 --> 00:33:00,680
for us, and I'm gonna stop doing it, right because

678
00:33:00,680 --> 00:33:02,799
Ohio State's paying a lot of money. Jeremi Smith's making

679
00:33:02,799 --> 00:33:06,200
over four million dollars. Oklahoma pays for guys, Alabama plays

680
00:33:06,200 --> 00:33:08,279
for dudes. You know, a bunch of these premier schools

681
00:33:08,319 --> 00:33:10,640
having the broadcast doesn't say it. And I understand why

682
00:33:10,680 --> 00:33:13,720
the brand Texas Tech has improven it but we can't

683
00:33:13,759 --> 00:33:16,799
just say, well, they're paying to do that, like these

684
00:33:16,880 --> 00:33:19,160
dudes playing on this team even if you're paying them.

685
00:33:19,400 --> 00:33:22,480
Jacob Roriguez is a first round pick. Ben like Romello

686
00:33:22,559 --> 00:33:24,720
Height is a first round pick. David Bailey is a

687
00:33:24,759 --> 00:33:27,079
first round pick in the NFL draft. They got guys

688
00:33:27,519 --> 00:33:30,519
that can play. So yes, does the money correlate with

689
00:33:30,559 --> 00:33:33,200
the talent? Always not necessarily, but in this case it has.

690
00:33:33,400 --> 00:33:35,519
So I feel like having that narrative of saying, well,

691
00:33:35,839 --> 00:33:37,720
you know, the national media saying well, they pay for this,

692
00:33:37,799 --> 00:33:40,480
like well, how do you think arch Manning's making booboo dollars?

693
00:33:40,519 --> 00:33:42,400
Like no, he's not right and he didn't show up.

694
00:33:42,480 --> 00:33:44,640
So I just I want the national media and people

695
00:33:44,640 --> 00:33:47,240
to pull off that because Jacob Riguez is the best

696
00:33:47,279 --> 00:33:49,039
linebacker in the country. He won the award, he backed

697
00:33:49,079 --> 00:33:51,480
it up. David Bailey's very good. Ben Roberts, who we

698
00:33:51,559 --> 00:33:53,960
saw when the most outs ended Defensive Player of the

699
00:33:54,039 --> 00:33:55,759
Year in the Big to a Bowl game and Big

700
00:33:55,759 --> 00:33:58,240
twou excuse me, a championship game. He is legit, like

701
00:33:58,279 --> 00:34:01,000
they have legit players, doesn't matter after they're being paid

702
00:34:01,039 --> 00:34:02,920
and they're going to go shock people. And then I

703
00:34:02,920 --> 00:34:04,680
think once they're able to go make a deep run,

704
00:34:04,720 --> 00:34:07,039
you can no longer say, well, Texas Tech paid. I

705
00:34:07,039 --> 00:34:09,599
think they will be in the conversation with the Indiana's,

706
00:34:09,599 --> 00:34:11,960
with the Georgia because everybody's paying at this at this point.

707
00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:17,639
Speaker 2: Ben, Yeah, man, this is It's an interesting scenario, no doubt.

708
00:34:18,119 --> 00:34:21,800
Let's get back to the commentary from Kilani Killani stating

709
00:34:21,800 --> 00:34:24,960
that Texas Tech is the best team in college football.

710
00:34:25,039 --> 00:34:27,400
Speaker 3: You hope it plays out that way, Kialani.

711
00:34:27,440 --> 00:34:29,480
Speaker 2: Both your losses came against the same team this year,

712
00:34:29,559 --> 00:34:31,880
a top four ranked opponent. Do you think the CFP

713
00:34:32,280 --> 00:34:35,559
should take that into consideration compared to other two loss

714
00:34:35,599 --> 00:34:37,559
teams in college football?

715
00:34:38,239 --> 00:34:40,760
Speaker 6: Well, I think if you look at what Texas Tech's done,

716
00:34:42,119 --> 00:34:44,199
they're the best team in the country for a reason.

717
00:34:44,239 --> 00:34:47,480
Their only loss came when they didn't have their starting quarterback,

718
00:34:47,599 --> 00:34:51,039
and so that's that's difficult and on the road. But

719
00:34:51,559 --> 00:34:54,559
you look at when their full strength team, they're dangerous.

720
00:34:54,599 --> 00:34:57,480
And so I'm not on the playoff committee, but I

721
00:34:57,480 --> 00:34:59,280
can tell you one thing, who's played the best team

722
00:34:59,280 --> 00:35:02,079
in the country twice? We have and does that mean

723
00:35:02,079 --> 00:35:03,440
that you're not one of the best twelve? I have

724
00:35:03,440 --> 00:35:05,239
no idea. I'm not in that committee. I don't make

725
00:35:05,280 --> 00:35:09,679
the decisions, but others will find out. That's a great

726
00:35:09,679 --> 00:35:11,599
thing about the playoffs. Everybody else will find out what

727
00:35:11,639 --> 00:35:14,199
we had to go against. And you know, I'm just

728
00:35:14,239 --> 00:35:16,280
really proud of our team, So I can't really speak

729
00:35:16,280 --> 00:35:20,199
for everybody else, but from seeing them twice and even

730
00:35:20,199 --> 00:35:22,840
the way that the games went and watching them in

731
00:35:22,880 --> 00:35:25,880
their response to some adversity, I mean, they they played

732
00:35:25,920 --> 00:35:29,199
really strong, and so you know, I'd love to have

733
00:35:29,239 --> 00:35:32,679
a third chance at him, but you know that that's

734
00:35:32,719 --> 00:35:35,440
a that's a really good team and Joey's done a

735
00:35:35,440 --> 00:35:36,840
great job with him.

736
00:35:37,440 --> 00:35:39,039
Speaker 3: Yeah, I would not want another chance.

737
00:35:39,039 --> 00:35:43,639
Speaker 2: I don't want anything to do with the Red Raiders

738
00:35:43,760 --> 00:35:44,239
right now.

739
00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:48,119
Speaker 3: No, thank you, no, Gracius.

740
00:35:48,239 --> 00:35:53,440
Speaker 2: Okay, So you know I will put it out there, like,

741
00:35:53,480 --> 00:35:55,079
what do you think you all your chances would be

742
00:35:55,079 --> 00:35:59,039
against Organ, right, and see how BU fans feel about it.

743
00:35:59,079 --> 00:36:02,639
B what your organ mad were to obtaining at large bags.

744
00:36:02,679 --> 00:36:04,280
But I don't want anything to do with Tech.

745
00:36:04,599 --> 00:36:05,199
Speaker 3: But that's the thing.

746
00:36:05,239 --> 00:36:07,440
Speaker 2: You would have been in the same bracket as Tech,

747
00:36:07,519 --> 00:36:10,320
so we would have got them in the quarterfinals at

748
00:36:10,320 --> 00:36:14,800
the twelve seed, you know, So Let's say, let's say,

749
00:36:14,880 --> 00:36:18,199
for argument's sake, okay, that by You would have got

750
00:36:18,239 --> 00:36:23,159
their true merited seating and they would have been I

751
00:36:23,159 --> 00:36:29,800
think from a merit standpoint, is their resume better than Oklahoma's, Alabama's,

752
00:36:29,920 --> 00:36:32,199
Miami's notre dames?

753
00:36:32,280 --> 00:36:34,320
Speaker 3: Like, where would you put them in a true.

754
00:36:34,079 --> 00:36:38,840
Speaker 2: Seating fashion with their resume taking into account strength of schedule,

755
00:36:39,280 --> 00:36:43,400
strength of record, right wins versus top twenty five teams,

756
00:36:43,440 --> 00:36:47,360
their record versus top twenty five teams, after losing to

757
00:36:47,400 --> 00:36:51,719
the number four team in college football twice and it

758
00:36:51,760 --> 00:36:53,880
wasn't even closed. So what's the true seating do you

759
00:36:53,920 --> 00:36:57,280
think for BYU, if it was really truly merit based

760
00:36:57,440 --> 00:36:58,760
resume base, what would they be?

761
00:37:00,079 --> 00:37:01,920
Speaker 5: I had him in nine, ben, That's what I gave him.

762
00:37:01,920 --> 00:37:04,079
I gave him, gave nine. I think that's where I

763
00:37:04,079 --> 00:37:07,639
had it when I looked at true resume based wins, losses,

764
00:37:07,639 --> 00:37:09,440
everything in the whole nine yards, I think where I

765
00:37:09,480 --> 00:37:12,280
had BYU was nine. No higher than eight. I don't

766
00:37:12,280 --> 00:37:13,920
think I could go higher than that, but that's why

767
00:37:13,920 --> 00:37:15,519
I got them, got him in the eight nine range.

768
00:37:15,679 --> 00:37:17,519
Speaker 2: So let's say they were a ten seed. Let's say

769
00:37:17,559 --> 00:37:19,400
they took over the spot for Miami. They would have

770
00:37:19,440 --> 00:37:22,159
got Texas A and m U with that was that

771
00:37:22,280 --> 00:37:24,039
is that the seating that you would have liked, or

772
00:37:24,079 --> 00:37:27,719
say they're the nine seed, say you oust Alabama out

773
00:37:27,719 --> 00:37:30,760
of that ninth spot, and you know, and and so

774
00:37:30,840 --> 00:37:34,880
you take on Oklahoma with the opportunity to play Indiana,

775
00:37:35,400 --> 00:37:40,079
which which would have been most advantagious for BYU in

776
00:37:40,199 --> 00:37:41,559
the seating, right.

777
00:37:41,639 --> 00:37:43,960
Speaker 3: Is the question where would you have put them?

778
00:37:44,199 --> 00:37:49,719
Speaker 2: And like all these teams are tough, maybe you match

779
00:37:49,800 --> 00:37:54,480
up from a personnel standpoint a little bit better with Oklahoma.

780
00:37:54,679 --> 00:37:56,800
Speaker 3: I agree, that's kind of where I would have liked that.

781
00:37:57,119 --> 00:38:01,320
Speaker 2: I would have probably stated, a, let's hopefully get that

782
00:38:01,519 --> 00:38:05,119
nine seed and then you face Indiana. Maybe you match

783
00:38:05,159 --> 00:38:07,440
up well with Indiana. I don't think you win that game.

784
00:38:07,440 --> 00:38:10,599
I think you get beat up pretty good in that game.

785
00:38:10,599 --> 00:38:13,360
But I think you can compete with Oklahoma, just like

786
00:38:13,400 --> 00:38:15,519
I think you could compete with Alabama, just like I

787
00:38:15,519 --> 00:38:18,599
think you could compete with a Miami or Texas A

788
00:38:18,639 --> 00:38:21,800
and m Okay. So that would have been the ideal

789
00:38:21,960 --> 00:38:24,840
situation I think for the coups. Couple last soundbites from

790
00:38:24,880 --> 00:38:28,679
Killane post game. Killane, Actually, let's skip that one Bear

791
00:38:28,719 --> 00:38:30,320
blackom I was injured in the first half.

792
00:38:30,400 --> 00:38:30,840
Speaker 3: We know that.

793
00:38:31,679 --> 00:38:36,119
Speaker 2: And then actually let's bounce to let's go with number six.

794
00:38:36,840 --> 00:38:39,119
What let's go and go number six? What is your

795
00:38:39,239 --> 00:38:43,159
sense of your playoff hops? This is from the post game, right,

796
00:38:43,239 --> 00:38:45,280
so it's a little bit late as far as reading

797
00:38:45,320 --> 00:38:48,159
between the lines, but this is what Kilani said number

798
00:38:48,199 --> 00:38:49,239
six in the post game.

799
00:38:50,239 --> 00:38:50,599
Speaker 3: I don't know.

800
00:38:50,679 --> 00:38:52,320
Speaker 6: This is the first game, so I don't know what's

801
00:38:52,360 --> 00:38:54,679
going on in the other games. But I know, like

802
00:38:54,719 --> 00:38:57,320
I said, who's played, they're the number one team in

803
00:38:57,360 --> 00:38:59,360
the country. I don't know what the other rankings are.

804
00:38:59,639 --> 00:39:02,039
This team is really good. So you go play the

805
00:39:02,079 --> 00:39:04,840
number one team in the country twice, one in Lubbock

806
00:39:04,880 --> 00:39:07,000
and then one in neutral Site, which is the same state.

807
00:39:07,440 --> 00:39:09,159
You know, I thought our fans showed up and made

808
00:39:09,159 --> 00:39:11,599
a lot of noise. I'd love another crack at it.

809
00:39:11,639 --> 00:39:13,679
But they do that to everybody. If you watch the

810
00:39:13,719 --> 00:39:16,480
film and you see what they do, they they basically

811
00:39:16,519 --> 00:39:20,639
grind it out and they end the games like they

812
00:39:20,760 --> 00:39:24,320
just did against us. And yeah, I like who we

813
00:39:24,360 --> 00:39:25,880
are and I like what we've been able to do.

814
00:39:26,280 --> 00:39:28,440
I think we have a great resume. You know, but

815
00:39:29,440 --> 00:39:31,360
I gotta watch the other games too. I just know

816
00:39:31,400 --> 00:39:33,760
that when they're doing comparisons, hopefully they put it out

817
00:39:33,760 --> 00:39:34,800
there and make it fair.

818
00:39:35,079 --> 00:39:36,400
Speaker 5: At least put us in the graphic.

819
00:39:36,440 --> 00:39:37,159
Speaker 6: That'd be nice.

820
00:39:39,320 --> 00:39:43,039
Speaker 2: Colotti, at least put us in the graphic. That would

821
00:39:43,039 --> 00:39:47,840
be nice. That would have been at least respectful. It's

822
00:39:47,920 --> 00:39:52,760
disrespectful to not include BYU in the graphic.

823
00:39:54,199 --> 00:39:57,559
Speaker 3: When will BYU be respected? Is the question?

824
00:39:57,719 --> 00:40:01,199
Speaker 2: Because you're gonna have to overachieve to earn that your

825
00:40:01,280 --> 00:40:03,760
new money, new kid on the block, and you're part

826
00:40:03,760 --> 00:40:07,280
of the big twelve that has a bifurcated media rights

827
00:40:07,280 --> 00:40:11,639
between ESPN and and Fox. If you were the ACC,

828
00:40:11,760 --> 00:40:13,719
I wonder if there would have been more advocacy for you.

829
00:40:14,280 --> 00:40:17,159
It sure seemed that ESPN, remember who owns the rights

830
00:40:17,159 --> 00:40:20,360
of the college football Playoff, they were much more willing

831
00:40:20,440 --> 00:40:24,360
and ready to sustain the ACC and support the ACC

832
00:40:26,360 --> 00:40:29,960
minus Notre Dame. Right, and that's why Notre Dame's ticked

833
00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:32,800
off and doesn't want anything to do with the ACC.

834
00:40:32,960 --> 00:40:36,360
It seems going for it. It's a broken relationship. It's

835
00:40:36,440 --> 00:40:39,199
on the rocks pebitquad. The ad of Notre Dame stated

836
00:40:40,119 --> 00:40:43,039
