• 1:16
  Speaker 4: Good?
• 1:16
  Speaker 5: Well, thanks for having me on, Jake Bill.
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: The college Football Playoff Committee has met, and they may
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: still be meeting, discussing, you know, logistics of a sixteen
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: and twenty four team. You guys did a piece. I'm
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: sharing it now. It's on Sporting news dot com. What
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: would a twenty team college football playoff? How would that work?
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: I know there were reports by Heather Dinich VSPN and
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: some others. I'm sure you guys were talking. Obviously you
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: put a piece out about it. The Big Ten has
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: said no, I don't know that they're coming off the
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: twenty fourteen perch yet. Maybe they'll have to at some point.
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: But what would a twenty team playoff look like? I'm
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: really intrigued by this.
• 1:53
  Speaker 5: Well, Jakes, thank you, and I think we're of like mind.
• 1:56
  Speaker 5: I like twelve better, I like sixteen better, I like
• 1:59
  Speaker 5: eight or probably, but if we're going to expand, I
• 2:02
  Speaker 5: like twenty better than I like twenty four, And especially
• 2:07
  Speaker 5: as I broke it down a little bit, like the
• 2:08
  Speaker 5: playing games aren't this is a good stuff. Don't don't
• 2:12
  Speaker 5: sell me up for via salesman, But the playing games
• 2:14
  Speaker 5: aren't terrible if you're gonna replace the conference championship games
• 2:18
  Speaker 5: with something, you know, this idea that maybe you have,
• 2:20
  Speaker 5: like Texas played just using last year's rankings, Texas playing
• 2:24
  Speaker 5: Duke or Michigan Utah, or you see at USC and Arizona,
• 2:30
  Speaker 5: Vandy and I have been Tulane not bad and you
• 2:35
  Speaker 5: get it into a sixteen team tournament from there. I
• 2:38
  Speaker 5: even better for b if they played around the sixteen there.
• 2:41
  Speaker 5: But I don't know if you can jam eight games
• 2:42
  Speaker 5: into one weekend right after the season or have how
• 2:46
  Speaker 5: you sell that on teams that maybe had a good
• 2:48
  Speaker 5: regular season. But I think there's some merit to it.
• 2:52
  Speaker 5: I just like it better than twenty four. I think
• 2:54
  Speaker 5: twenty four you're getting four lost teams in there and
• 2:56
  Speaker 5: five lost teams and this that's cut off. But I
• 3:00
  Speaker 5: think they should talk about it a little more.
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: And you know, Bill, when you and you know this,
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: you guys are all over this. The logistics of it
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: is I think the biggest thing is because you you know,
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: when do you start the season, when do you end
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: the season? What do you do with Army Navy? Do
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: you get rid of the conference championship games? What do
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: you do with the NFL schedule. Why is the Big
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: Ten so dead set on twenty four teams because it's.
• 3:23
  Speaker 5: I guess my answer would be, I think it's because
• 3:26
  Speaker 5: more TV shows, you know, and it oversaturates a little bit,
• 3:30
  Speaker 5: you know. Tony Pettiti, to his credit, I mean he
• 3:33
  Speaker 5: is felling it well. I think if you've got coaches
• 3:37
  Speaker 5: and ads and conferences on board, but it feels like
• 3:39
  Speaker 5: a TV show, you know. The baseball postseason has changed
• 3:43
  Speaker 5: how many times in our lifetime. I think you and
• 3:45
  Speaker 5: I are close in age. I remember when I think
• 3:49
  Speaker 5: we can both remember a time it was only the
• 3:51
  Speaker 5: East and West Division winner. Oh yeah, well right, and
• 3:54
  Speaker 5: then they played the series and then it was over.
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: So I think that it is.
• 3:59
  Speaker 5: A different game to me though, Like the baseball regular
• 4:02
  Speaker 5: season in the college football regular season are two very
• 4:04
  Speaker 5: different things in my opinion.
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: Bill Bender talking college football on a Tuesday. Make sure
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: to get him on ex of Bill Bender ninety two.
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: Check him out Sportingnews dot com. All right, Bill, Bill Belichick, Man,
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: it's a mess up there before they even play a ballgame.
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: If there was a hot seat list updated today, would
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: he be number one on the list.
• 4:23
  Speaker 5: I don't see how he wouldn't be right, Like, it's
• 4:27
  Speaker 5: unbelievable the amount of bad press to come through there
• 4:30
  Speaker 5: with Lombardi and now his son, and I haven't even
• 4:32
  Speaker 5: played a game over in Dublin yet.
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: Where that's all going to be in our living room.
• 4:37
  Speaker 5: I'll be the first to admit.
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: Jake, I don't do it often, but man, I was
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: wrong about that higher.
• 4:42
  Speaker 5: I thought when he was hired there that, yeah, some
• 4:45
  Speaker 5: of the NFL acumen and roster management and the way
• 4:48
  Speaker 5: he knows detail would carry over.
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: And I'm stunned that it hasn't.
• 4:53
  Speaker 5: But I'm more stunned at the tabloid like headlines to
• 4:57
  Speaker 5: keep coming out of Chapel Hill. And at a certain point,
• 5:00
  Speaker 5: enough's going to have to be enough, Like what do
• 5:02
  Speaker 5: you think happens? There are seven and a half point
• 5:04
  Speaker 5: underdogs against TCU and that opener in Dublin here in
• 5:06
  Speaker 5: a few weeks they get blown out there. It's hard
• 5:09
  Speaker 5: to see how that would go uphill.
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: I guess, oh no, I agree with you one hundred
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: percent less shift gears and move across the country to Texas.
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: I know you saw it because you shared it. Everybody
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: shared it. Cam Coleman and his explosiveness catching a one
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: handed pass and a workout. I laughed because a lot
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: of people asked, who through the football? Why was it
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: up there? But this is going How explosive can this
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: Texas offense be this year? I know, when you start
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: talking Texas in their back and what they can do
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: in arch Manning, a lot of people I roll and
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: I get it, But man, it feels like Steve Sarkisian
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: has a unbelievable group of talent around arch Manning.
• 5:46
  Speaker 5: Yeah you know, you said again, like you and I
• 5:48
  Speaker 5: are so like minded, it's crazy, I said. I laughed
• 5:51
  Speaker 5: at the same thing when people were saying, well who
• 5:53
  Speaker 5: through that pass?
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: That it would be that far?
• 5:55
  Speaker 5: But what a catch, right, And what a roster they
• 5:59
  Speaker 5: have roster with all the transfer guys Rashim Biles on defense,
• 6:05
  Speaker 5: Kim Coleman on offense, What a wonderful roster they do have.
• 6:09
  Speaker 5: I think there's a ton of pressure on them in
• 6:10
  Speaker 5: that Ohio State game though, week two, because it's a
• 6:13
  Speaker 5: heavyweight fights. You know, they're zero to five against Georgia
• 6:16
  Speaker 5: and Ohio State the last two years those were heavyweight teams.
• 6:19
  Speaker 5: They gotta go win one of those games early in
• 6:21
  Speaker 5: the season, I think to get before I like truly
• 6:24
  Speaker 5: the league. Now, do I think Texas is capable of
• 6:26
  Speaker 5: winning the national Championship? Yes, I do because of how
• 6:29
  Speaker 5: many top fifty players are on that roster.
• 6:33
  Speaker 3: And you speak of Ohio State in that Week one matchup,
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: and we'll we'll talk about that when we get to
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: game week. But is it as simple for Ohio State
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: as Hey, if this offensive front that they have in
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: front of Julian Saying and around this team, if they're
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: really good, then man, it's gonna be tough to beat them.
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: But if they're not, it could cause some problems.
• 6:51
  Speaker 5: I think so. I think I was out to their
• 6:53
  Speaker 5: camp Saturday. Jeremy Smith, Wow, I mean that's all you
• 6:58
  Speaker 5: can say. He's unbelievable. Got plenty of offensive firepower around
• 7:02
  Speaker 5: Julian Saying. Returning Heisman finalists, probably the most undersold Heisman
• 7:06
  Speaker 5: finalists I can remember. Offensive line is good, defense has
• 7:10
  Speaker 5: some playmakers be really good. I think the thing is
• 7:14
  Speaker 5: our schedule so hard. It's not just Texas. They go
• 7:17
  Speaker 5: to USC, they go to Iowa, they go to Nebraska.
• 7:21
  Speaker 5: I mean, there's like no break on their schedule. I've
• 7:24
  Speaker 5: watched a lot of Ohio State football over the years.
• 7:26
  Speaker 5: This is the toughest schedule, Jake, that I've ever seen
• 7:29
  Speaker 5: them play, which I think like Texas last year's. Say
• 7:33
  Speaker 5: they lose that game, they can test the committee in
• 7:37
  Speaker 5: the nine and three stop and the strengths of schedule stuff,
• 7:40
  Speaker 5: because of course they got to play the games. But
• 7:43
  Speaker 5: on paper right now, I mean, just look at it.
• 7:45
  Speaker 5: That's the tough schedules I've ever seen.
• 7:47
