  Speaker 1: hearing a little more from Loggorn's head coach Steve Sarkitan
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: from the weekly news conference. The brand new Power rankings
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: in college football have come out. Guess who's in the
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: power rankings for the first time?

  Speaker 2: Fighting A and m akis. Well, they've been in them. Okay,
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: so they're in them. What's how is the top twenty five?
• 0:32
  Speaker 3: Uh?
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: What's the number?
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: See if they are ranked, might not be ranked. Let
• 0:39
  Speaker 3: me look here.
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: Is it just random teams?
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: They're ranked. They're ranked near the bottom of the top
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: twenty five.
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: They're ranked.
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: So it's the first time this team has been the
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: top twenty five or like in the top ten.
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: They're in the top twenty five. Mm. You think.
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: I don't know who had who had a big win?
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: Wasn't wasn't expecting? Uh it was.
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: It was it was a win.
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: I don't know that the win expecting Either's just they've
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: been slowly climbing back to respectability.
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: That would be Dion Sanders College, Colorado.
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, okay, they they are ranked for the first time. Yeah, yeah,
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: I went away from Bowl eligibility, Travis Hunter, who I
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: think win the Heisman. Now two touchdowns and now they
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: are Bowl levelge about to winning Saturday night? That was
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: that was six Okay, that was beat Cincinnati. Uh Now,
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: let's be real. Are they better than either b YU
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: or Iowa State right now? I don't think so.
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: I don't either.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: You could have an all unbeaten matchup in the Big
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: Twelve in the Big Twelve Championship because b YU and
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: Iwa State don't play one another, so it could happen.
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: And how about the if you took the four pre
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: season favorites in the Big Twelve this season, I think
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: only one has a winning record in the conference because
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: Utah has won in four, Oklahoma State poe and five.
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: I think Kansas was also in there one and four.
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: The only one is Kansas State, who is currently four
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: and one. So talk about the SEC and trying to
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: figure out who's going to be the final two teams
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: for that one Big twelve is is right there? You
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: have the YU and i Always State underfeeded. But then
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: you still got k State in Colorado at four and one,
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: and then you got five teams with two losses, TCU
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: tech s in c West Virginia, Arizona State. What a cluster.
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah that the TCU Texas Tech game is a bit
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: of a cluster. Yeah, all that tc fourteen to three
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: lead techs up I think thirty four to seventeen, thirty
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: five seventeen whatever. TCU comes back at thirty four seventeen.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: TCU comes back and wins thirty five thirty four. Heck
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: of a ball game that was in Fort Worth. All right,
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: So the updated power rankings these aren't the polls. It's
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: the power rankings. There's college football power rankings, computerizing, all
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: that kind of stuff. College football experts as well, have
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: way gainless. Number one is Oregon, Number two is Georgia.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: Texas went up three spots from six to three.
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: Wait they moved up.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: See so the voting poll dropped in one of the
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: ap the power ranking they went up.
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: So they went up. So they won nine straight road games. Whatever.
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: Number four Penn State went up one spot.
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: Number five Ohio State dropped two spots after the narrow
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: escape at a home against a brocos Olton board material
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: there for him. Miami dropped two spots from four to six. Yeah,
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: did of course it was Florida State. They played. Indiana
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: went up one spot from eight to seven, BYU up
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: one spot from nine to eight, Texas A and M
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: up five spots from fourteen to nine. Clemson dropped three
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: spots from seven to ten. I'm surprised the Aggies aren't higher.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: A lot of people aren't. Are surprised that Tennessee is eleven,
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: Iowa State is twelve, Notre Dame thirteen, Pitt four teen,
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: Alabama fifteen. Then it's Boysey State, Kansas State, LSU dropping
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: five spots, smu Ole, miss Army, Colorado, Washington State, Illinois,
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: and Missouri. So there is your power rankings a little
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: bit different than the actual voting polls. Was the power
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: rankings on that. Yeah, now in both that and the poll.
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: I don't know how Maszoo is over Vanderbilt because that's
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: a that's a really good Vanderbilt.
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: Well it beat him head to head.
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: It did in overtimes, right, Okay, Yeah, I don't know.
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: I think they played again Vanderbilt.
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: When's that game they might.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: Let's hear some more from Logwren's head coach, Steve sarkisian
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: a couple more comments here before we get to the break,
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: and sark was asked about a variety of things, including
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: the question about the bye week. Does he use the
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: structure of the bye week similar to what he did
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: on that first bye week coming out of the mississ
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: State game before the matchup with Oklahoma.
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: It'll be very similar Today.
• 5:05
  Speaker 4: Today we did meetings, only we try to give them
• 5:08
  Speaker 4: kind of two days off from practice Sunday and Monday.
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: They did work out today in the weight room with
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: coach Becton. Tomorrow will be a lighter practice, similar maybe
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: to a Monday, and then we'll practice Wednesday and Thursday,
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: kind of in game plan mode for Florida down the road.
• 5:24
  Speaker 4: They'll get a workout Friday, but no practice Friday, Saturday, Sunday,
• 5:27
  Speaker 4: so we try to bookend it with a little bit
• 5:29
  Speaker 4: of rest.
• 5:30
  Speaker 3: But those three.
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: Days in there were really a game plan mode, but
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: b getting a lot of these younger players up to speed.
• 5:37
  Speaker 4: Let's see where they're at now it's a month later.
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: Where are they at now? How do we create value
• 5:43
  Speaker 4: for them on our roster, whether it's on special teams
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: or on offense or defense, things of that nature. And
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: then we'll hit the road recruiting again on Friday and
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: we'll be out rolling and doing that again and again.
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: Because of the lack of days. Now they've reduced days.
• 5:57
  Speaker 4: We just have to be really smart of of not
• 6:00
  Speaker 4: using days for one off games. And so we're really
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: trying to It's a lot to get done this Friday
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: as a staff, and and you know, we're really well
• 6:07
  Speaker 4: organized and I think we'll do a great job, okay.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: And then also the importance of the bye week for
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: his quarterback, both for the continued improvement of his health
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: and also just his work and dialing back in the
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: importance of the bye week for Quinn.
• 6:21
  Speaker 4: I think for him, I'm sure last week there was
• 6:25
  Speaker 4: a lot of emotions, you know, from last Saturday, the
• 6:29
  Speaker 4: Georgia game all the way through this game. And you know,
• 6:34
  Speaker 4: with emotions, you can you can you know your heart
• 6:37
  Speaker 4: maybe he's beating a little bit more, maybe not sleeping
• 6:39
  Speaker 4: quite as good as you'd like, and your your mind
• 6:42
  Speaker 4: is racing because you want to make sure you play
• 6:43
  Speaker 4: well and you and you're and you're doing all the
• 6:45
  Speaker 4: things that you need to do. So I'm sure this
• 6:47
  Speaker 4: week he's probably gonna appreciate a little bit of downtime.
• 6:50
  Speaker 4: You know, I appreciate a little bit of rest, and
• 6:51
  Speaker 4: we talked about that this morning with the team. You know,
• 6:54
  Speaker 4: everybody's recovery this week is gonna look a little bit different.
• 6:57
  Speaker 4: There's some guys that are recovering from physical ailments that
• 7:01
  Speaker 4: we need to get them back from. There's some guys
• 7:03
  Speaker 4: that maybe got to get their mental health space, you know,
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: kind of maybe realigned with all that a season can
• 7:09
  Speaker 4: put on them and make sure we have resources for
• 7:11
  Speaker 4: them that way. There's other guys that maybe just need
• 7:14
  Speaker 4: some physical rest, and so where that lands on each
• 7:17
  Speaker 4: guy is a little bit different. We just want to
• 7:19
  Speaker 4: make sure our players know, Quinn included that all of
• 7:22
  Speaker 4: those resourcers are here for them to get that done.
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: Whatever it makes them feel like when we come back
• 7:28
  Speaker 4: next Monday, they're batteries charged up as close to one
• 7:31
  Speaker 4: hundred percent. They feel as good as they can feel
• 7:33
  Speaker 4: for this kind of four game stretch that we have
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: coming up.
