• 0:24
  football Playoff, want to get your take on everything moving and shaking in college
• 0:28
  football, maybe a couple teams as we head towards spring practice, but your
• 0:31
  thoughts on what has transpired this week with a twelve team playoff, the five
• 0:36
  plus seven model and oh, by the way, you shake hands if you're
• 0:39
  in that room, and then all of a sudden, the sec and Big
• 0:41
  ten says, yeah, but maybe we want to expand it to fourteen in
• 0:43
  a couple of years. Maybe we want some you know, we want our
• 0:46
  shake of for this and for that. Your thoughts of everything going on right
• 0:49
  now? Yeah, I think there's a couple of different emotions Because I was
• 0:53
  truthfully always on the side of like Hey, let's stay at four. Four
• 0:56
  is grade four is enough for us. We don't need to get you crazy
• 1:00
  with this playoff field because obviously the more playoff games we have here, the
• 1:03
  less the regular season games are gonna matter. So I was always, you
• 1:07
  know, kind of kicking and screaming. But I'm like, all right,
• 1:08
  if we're gonna go with a twelve team playoff, the five plus seven model
• 1:11
  makes a lot of sense. First thought I had was, Okay, well
• 1:15
  we'll have this Notre Dame. And what happens when we get to this point
• 1:18
  where, you know, it's one thing to say, all right, hey,
• 1:21
  we're cool not joining a conference the NBC money. That's good, now,
• 1:23
  Jay, you and I both know, hey, that's that's a lot
• 1:26
  of a lot of zeros that I'm sure are treating them just fine. But
• 1:29
  you know, you get to the point where what if Notre Dame is an
• 1:30
  undefeated number one team in the country, Well, I'm not playing the conference
• 1:34
  championship games. So by this five and seven model, they're gonna have to
• 1:38
  still play a first round game that would probably be in South Bend, So
• 1:41
  I'm sure that'd be nice, but I mean to have to play another game
• 1:44
  instead they dropped that game and get upset by somebody Like, all right,
• 1:47
  it's a whole different story about what you want to do in the long term.
• 1:49
  So to answer your your thought though about, you know, expanding this
• 1:53
  playoff even more. It's tough because I think now more than ever, we
• 1:57
  really need someone to regulate college football, you know. I mean, like,
• 2:00
  the tough part is, we have a lot of guys in a room
• 2:02
  that you know, it's no fault to their own they're all acting in their
• 2:05
  own interests and that's their job. But they're supposed to represent the SEC in
• 2:07
  the big end of the ACC, in the Big Twelve, and so you
• 2:10
  know, they're all acting in the best interest of their conferences and understand what
• 2:14
  it's best for college football. And you know, the poor guys with the
• 2:16
  ACC and the Big Twelve are kind of at the mercy of those holding the
• 2:19
  cards, which is of course, the those two conferences. So it's it's
• 2:22
  all wild, it's all you know, if you know the book, if
• 2:23
  you give them out the cookie, they're going to want some else. If
• 2:25
  you give the College Football playoffro the expansion, they're gonna want more and more
• 2:29
  spots. So we'll see what happens here. But yeah, it's absolutely wild
• 2:31
  times in college football.
