• 3:10
  Speaker 2: Incredible work there. This Ford leaderboard segment is brought to
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: you by Ford. A hard day's work starts with one thing.
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: Someone willing to do it. And where there's a will,
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: there's a Ford F-Series truck. Let's quickly just take a
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: look at the Ford leaderboard.
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: Quickly take a look at that because obviously this is
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: not the main topic.
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: Of conversation at the beginning of this show. I never
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: know what this is. What Josh did. Three negatives in
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: a row. Wait, wait, wait, wait. Yeah, no, you're right. Oh, wait, that's...
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: Can you zoom in? Can you just zoom in? Nets
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: on the right. Last week's on the left. Yeah. Wait,
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: I'm net negative?
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: You've been climbing out of hell. You had a good
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: week last week. You're almost at even. Two terrible weeks
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: in a row. Negative 10, negative 12. You lost 22
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: over two weeks. Ah. But big bounce back week last week.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: Big bounce back. Yep, needed that. You know what killed me?
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: Not hitting my parlay. Michigan minus nine and a half. Dumb. Who.
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: Who would have ever thought that they wouldn't beat Rutgers
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: by nine and a half points?
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: And then Ohio State. Yeah, Ohio State let us all down.
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: Slap the table. Slap the table. It was a double
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: slap the table. Did you slap the table on Ohio State? No.
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: What did you slap the table on? Houston. I don't
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: want to talk about that. Let's move on. Okay, so yeah, yeah.
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: You did bad too. Okay. Hey, they're striking distance across
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: the board. Weren't you up like 40 units at one point, Josh?
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: He was up 40. Listen. And when he rubbed in
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: somebody's face, he's just went down. That's what I was
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: going to say. The minute you spoke to the haters.
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: It's like the price is right. They're clapping. They're loving this.
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: The yodeling price is right. And now you're just falling
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: off a cliff, man.
• 4:46
  Speaker 4: The way I like to look at it is, first off,
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: not to take flack from someone who's underwater right now.
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: I will not take criticism from that person. Swing away, dude.
• 4:56
  Speaker 4: The way I love to think about it is I
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: picture myself in week zero looking ahead to week 10.
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: And if I tell myself in week zero, buddy, you're
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: going to be up nearly 18.
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: Units in week 10. That's a great year. I don't
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: need to know that I was up 40 units in
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: week six. That's totally irrelevant.
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: I don't need to know that some people waited until
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: week seven to start following me, and now they're probably
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: destitute out on the street.
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: That's irrelevant to me. I'm looking ahead. Tear the rearview
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: mirror off.
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: I'm looking ahead to a volcanic Saturday, possibly the biggest
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: Saturday of the modern era.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: I will say when he was up over 40 units,
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: I sat down and Josh goes, I've already paid for Christmas.
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: I think the words 80 units is within range were
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: words that came.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: Out of my mouth.
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: It was in range though. Yeah. At a time. And
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: you keep swinging. Who says you can't get back up there?
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: One parlay. One parlay away. That's all you need, man.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: We just need a tight race at the end of
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: the year, just like last year. We just don't want
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: somebody to run away with this thing.
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: We don't want that. We don't want that. The last
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: thing I want to do is win this handily. Yeah.
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: Can I say how wonderful of a country we have?
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: Our country is so amazing that last night I go
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: to get on Twitter and I see people talking about
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: how the world is ending. And I thought they were
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: talking about college football. They were talking about the midterms
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: as well. But how beautiful is it that you can
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: get that messed up in this day and age because
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: of this college football bracket that took place, huh?
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: Let's take a peek at that.
• 6:20
  Speaker 5: Take a little. What a world for 24.
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: I just. 2014 playoffs.
• 6:32
  Speaker 4: I woke up this morning and I said, the world
• 6:35
  Speaker 4: changed last night.
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it did.
• 6:37
  Speaker 4: And I know some people don't want us to talk
• 6:39
  Speaker 4: about that on a sports show, but we got to
• 6:41
  Speaker 4: talk about it.
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: Notre Dame's number 11. Notre Dame's number 11. They're telling
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: you right now, this is a play. the president this
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: is a playoff game this weekend yeah well for notre
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: dame notre dame has to win or they're it's done
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: how shocked were you when you saw that the notre
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: dame one and 11 yeah not clearly not clearly as
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: shocked as i was at bama and texas sitting there
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: at five and seven.
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: Not even close do as shocked as i when i
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: saw notre dame at 11 i thought okay they're they're
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: understanding their schedule and where they're at. And this has
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: to be a must win game if they don't do it.
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: Cause you brought it up last week, Wisconsin SMU or
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: two games and they shit down their leg. So now
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: there's no longer the argument of like quality, quality wins.
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: So you have to beat Miami as number one in
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: the country. You beat Miami, all the noise and everything
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: around Notre Dame goes away.
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: It's all over.
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: They control their destiny. They control their destiny. They lose
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: and they're not sniffing the playoffs because.
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: They would just need anybody who might be ahead of them.
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: They would need everybody to kind of shit their mind.
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: I mean, 12 to 20. You can find all those
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: teams in there.
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: 12 to 21. Yeah.
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: Can't leave the Gamecocks out the way they're playing right now.
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: But you look at like, I wasn't upset about Miami,
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: not Georgia, Utah, like where they're at, Indiana. I understand
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: why people get frustrated, but they're winning. They've lost one
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: game in two years. Then Alabama pops up. And that
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: is as biased as it can possibly get.
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: Hey, listen, I said it. I was talking about it
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: in a video last night. Did you do a release
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: last night? Tip of the cap. to the deep state
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: of college football. Like, they've gotten better, is what I'll say,
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: because they learned from last year. Last year, it's like, oh,
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: they went for it. Bama, how they went for it
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: so courageously on fourth down against Auburn. They got pummeled.
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: in the SEC championship where, you know, they stayed protected
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: the entire time. They learned from that. They're like, all right,
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: we're in a spot now. Guys, if we want teams
• 8:43
  Speaker 2: like Bama, the SEC bias is there, but it's not
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: the way people think it is. It's favoritism. It's the
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: favorite kids. It's Bama and Texas. They're letting them know, hey,
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: we did our part. Bama, we got you at five.
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: All you have left is LSU on the schedule. You
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: can lose this weekend. you'll still be in it because
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: you got Chattanooga, the Chattdump Gang coming to town after Vanderbilt.
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: And then you round it off with Auburn. And then
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: with Texas, it's like, all right, Texas, we hear you.
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: We hear you. You got Mizzou and LSU, two tough
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: games for Texas. You can lose one of them. Can't
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: lose both, we can't help you. Hands are tied. Right.
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: But they're allowing them to lose. They're allowing Bama and
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: Texas to lose one more game. Tennessee controls their destiny.
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: LSU does. Obviously, all these SEC teams that are in
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: the top 25 do. I don't know why Florida's still
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: sitting there. Like, they've stunk. They don't have a quarterback.
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: But the deep state of college football, I got to
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: tip my cap to them. They suck. They are on
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: their stuff this year. We talked about it on Bussin'
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: and Pay last week. On the bus, off the bus,
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: stuff with three lost SEC teams. You know they're going
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: to get– there's that world right there in front of
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: us to where three of them can get in the
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: college football playoff. Yes. Josh? I don't get one.
• 10:00
  Speaker 4: You're so upset when this is what you prophesied.
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: This is respect. This isn't anger. This is respect at
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: a high volume. Dean State, I see you from a
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: mile away, but what semantics to get bam at five
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: because you beat, who'd they beat? Kentucky. Kentucky. We too.
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: We too. Well, South Carolina. Pre-October. And then, you know,
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: a Camario Taylor bam up. But also he was he
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: was banged up. Clearly hurt during that. Yeah. Yeah. But hey,
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: they're the deep state is telling you we're going to
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: the power is in. winning strength of schedule games based
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: off the metric that we created for strength of schedule.
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: We're not valuing as much consistency and how you played recently.
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: Cause Bama recently, the last three weeks, you got whooped.
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: You got whooped by Tennessee. You lost in your backyard
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: to Georgia. But after that game, you're like, okay, could
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: Bama be a top seven team? Yeah, they could be.
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: They looked good. But you get physically taken against your
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: will against Tennessee. Tennessee at 13, that's laughable. And then
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: you go and survive A & M. I know that
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: Bama's injured. And I'm not saying Bama can't be a
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: top five team in the country. I'm just saying where
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: we've gotten to with these rankings, Bama at five is hilarious. Josh,
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: you said they can afford to lose a game. Yes.
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: You believe that? Yes.
• 11:24
  Speaker 4: You believe Bama loses Saturday. Let's say close Saturday. You
• 11:27
  Speaker 4: think they're still in no matter what?
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: Yes. They went out. They got to beat Chad, dumb gang.
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: Chad knew he could come to town. Let's not look
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: over him. In-state team. Yeah.
• 11:37
  Speaker 4: Uh, I don't think that's accurate. I think a lot
• 11:39
  Speaker 4: of Bama folks think that's accurate. I think a lot
• 11:41
  Speaker 4: of people in general think that's accurate. And I understand
• 11:43
  Speaker 4: the logic. You're number five. Your toughest game left is
• 11:46
  Speaker 4: number 14. You've got to go on the road to
• 11:48
  Speaker 4: play them. And so, um, Let me just remind everyone
• 11:53
  Speaker 4: what that resume is built on. The Alabama resume, the
• 11:56
  Speaker 4: bulk of it is built on you handled currently number
• 12:00
  Speaker 4: six on the road. You handled currently number 21.
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: That's great. And as long as Kentucky and South Carolina
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: keep winning, I agree with you.
• 12:10
  Speaker 4: Bama could probably lose another game and still sneak in.
• 12:13
  Speaker 4: Here's what people are failing to realize. That resume is
• 12:15
  Speaker 4: very fluid. And there are two teams in Kentucky and
• 12:18
  Speaker 4: South Carolina that normally aren't at the table this late
• 12:21
  Speaker 4: in the year that are very vulnerable to possibly falling
• 12:25
  Speaker 4: off in November. So if Alabama loses Saturday, and that
• 12:29
  Speaker 4: coincides with Kentucky drops a couple of games, South Carolina
• 12:32
  Speaker 4: drops a couple of games, all of a sudden their
• 12:35
  Speaker 4: resume was built on sand. So there is a world
• 12:38
  Speaker 4: where the same folks that are yelling at Bama fans
• 12:40
  Speaker 4: right now are listening to Bama fans yell at them
• 12:44
  Speaker 4: come late November, because Bama folks will make the same
• 12:46
  Speaker 4: argument Notre Dame folks made last year. And that is,
• 12:49
  Speaker 4: you told us by the way you ranked us that
• 12:52
  Speaker 4: we could afford to lose, that we were in, and
• 12:54
  Speaker 4: then the entire paradigm gets shifted against them. Now they
• 12:58
  Speaker 4: could make all that moot if they just beat LSU Saturday,
• 13:00
  Speaker 4: but if they're a three loss team, what I'm saying
• 13:02
  Speaker 4: is I don't feel nearly as safe that they're just
• 13:05
  Speaker 4: automatically in as everyone else seems to, because I still
• 13:08
  Speaker 4: think there's a lot of fluidity in the bulk of
• 13:10
  Speaker 4: their resume right now. Like I think there's a world
• 13:12
  Speaker 4: where you get to the end of the season and
• 13:13
  Speaker 4: you're saying, Look at the way their resume looks now.
• 13:16
  Speaker 4: What are you hanging your hat on? And if they
• 13:18
  Speaker 4: were a two-loss team, it wouldn't matter. But if they're
• 13:20
  Speaker 4: a three-loss team, I think there's several other three-loss resumes
• 13:23
  Speaker 4: that could supersede Alabama's in that scenario.
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: But the three-loss resumes, to the point of three-loss teams
• 13:30
  Speaker 2: getting in from the SEC, there will be multiple three-loss
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: teams getting in.
• 13:34
  Speaker 4: Here's your problem. If you're Alabama, here's your problem. You
• 13:36
  Speaker 4: could potentially be thrown in a barrel where you're a
• 13:39
  Speaker 4: three-loss team along with Tennessee and a three-loss team along
• 13:41
  Speaker 4: with LSU, and both of them, in that scenario... would
• 13:44
  Speaker 4: have the head-to-head over you. And if you're being judged
• 13:47
  Speaker 4: in the same bubble, they're going to bump up above you.
• 13:50
  Speaker 4: So it becomes a question of how many SEC teams
• 13:52
  Speaker 4: with three losses are we about to let in this thing?
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: Who knows? It may not exist. You may just let
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: all of them in. And then what happens with the
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: ACC and the Big 12? That's a great question.
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: Because now we live in a world where Wake Forest
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: is within striking distance. They're as red hot as any
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: team in the country. Who knows what happens with Miami
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: and Notre Dame? But let's say Miami loses to Notre
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: Dame this weekend. Notre Dame cements themselves in. Then Miami
• 14:12
  Speaker 1: goes on a run. They make it to the ACC championship,
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: which is most likely going to happen. Wake Forest does
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: the same thing. And so you got Miami sitting at, what,
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: 5-6 at that point? You have them sitting at 5-6,
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: and then Wake Forest on the outside looking in, but
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: Wake Forest wins the ACC.
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they would both be in. They would both be in.
• 14:27
  Speaker 2: And honestly, you guys are speaking.
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: Then you got the Big 12, which is Utah, BYU,
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: and Texas Tech at this point in the game. Houston's
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: out there, but I don't see a world where they
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: get in. What if Texas Tech wins out? What if
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: BYU loses to Utah? And now Utah and Texas Tech
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: are playing the Big 12 championship, and BYU is a
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: two-loss team with a win over Notre Dame who's in
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: the playoffs.
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: Yes, Josh Payton.
• 14:50
  Speaker 4: Buddy, it could be crazier than that. What if Brigham
• 14:52
  Speaker 4: Young beats Utah Saturday, and then Utah takes them in
• 14:57
  Speaker 4: the rematch in the Big 12 championship game, and Texas
• 15:00
  Speaker 4: Tech just goes 11-1, and they finish 11-1, but they're
• 15:02
  Speaker 4: not in the Big 12 championship game. You've got 11-1
• 15:05
  Speaker 4: Texas Tech, probably in. You've got, what, 11-2 Brigham Young.
• 15:11
  Speaker 4: And you've got 12-1 Utah. All three of them are
• 15:15
  Speaker 4: potentially in at that point.
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: Do you put them in, though? Time out, time out,
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: time out. Just to recap, because you guys spoke to
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: how we combat what the deep state's trying to do.
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: It's BYU has to beat Utah. Yeah. Texas Tech win out.
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: Utah wins the Big 12 championship. Miami... Miami beats Notre
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: Dame and then loses to Wake Forest in the ACC championship. Yes.
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: You're going to have five right there. Yep. That is
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: where the chaos is. And it's all going to be
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: dependent on where they have these rankings at come the
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: end of November.
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: The only thing that makes that crazy is the original
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: thought of, you said Miami beats Notre Dame.
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: Miami beats Notre Dame.
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: But if Notre Dame beats Miami, that's when there's one
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: less spot because Notre Dame is in unless they drop
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: something crazy.
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: You're actually right. You are right.
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: Notre Dame wins. Miami drops to five or six. But
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: Miami will stay in five or six.
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: They're in there no matter what.
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: They're in there no matter what. Because they're going to
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: go in the ACC championship and that position. Or Wake
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: Forest will be sitting in that no man's land 11-12. 11-12.
• 16:18
  Speaker 1: Wake Forest wins. Miami will drop, what, lowest is nine?
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: If Notre Dame. So they will be in. Notre Dame
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: or Miami. Whoever wins this game this weekend. And say,
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: you know, Wake Forest beats Miami. If Notre Dame is
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: in because they beat Miami. Miami's a one loss regular
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: season team and they lose to Wake Forest in the
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: ACC championship game in this scenario with the Big 12 happens,
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: only one out of Wake Forest and Miami's gonna get in.
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: Or only one, they're not gonna have Notre Dame, Miami,
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: Wake Forest, Texas Tech, BYU, and Utah. They're not gonna
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: have six of these teams in the college football playoff.
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: Who is the deep state of college football that we're
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: trying to defeat right now? It's the SEC bias. That's
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: essentially what we're doing.
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: So in order to defeat the SEC bias, Miami would
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: have to lose Notre Dame.
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: Notre Dame would be in. So now one slot is
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: taken from everybody in the powerful conferences.
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: Miami winning out and winning the way we know they
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: can win and then playing Wake Forest only to lose
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: against Gio Lopez and how red hot they've been. There's
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: a horrible argument for anybody to say Miami shouldn't be in.
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: They're not going to drop out.
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: They're not going to drop out. They're not going to
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: do it. So now you have three spots that are
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: taken by non-SEC teams. UCLA, the only ranked game they.
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: Have on, which wasn't ranked last week, but now is
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: ranked this week, is USC at the end of the year. Okay,
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: so we can pencil them in for the Big Ten
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: Championship at this point. All right? I don't know that
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: I would go that far. You wouldn't pencil them into
• 17:39
  Speaker 2: the Big Ten Championship? Their five-point favorite is Minnesota this week.
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: But Minnesota also went to the wire with Indiana and
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: had to kick back-to-back.
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: To me, in my opinion, UCLA is in a spot
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: to where they're saying, if you lose... Let's say they
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: win the games that they're favored in and they're going
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: against USC. They lose to USC and say they're in
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: the Big Ten Championship. They're going to be in a
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: spot where they'll be this year's BYU. You are correct.
• 18:03
  Speaker 4: And I think that's conditional because I don't think they
• 18:05
  Speaker 4: would treat any other Big Ten team like that. The
• 18:08
  Speaker 4: only Big Ten team I think they would treat like
• 18:10
  Speaker 4: that is UCLA. Number one, because they don't have the
• 18:12
  Speaker 4: brand bias. But number two, because their schedule is unique.
• 18:15
  Speaker 4: And this is the fault of conferences for expanding so
• 18:17
  Speaker 4: much that you could disproportionately get a weak strength of
• 18:20
  Speaker 4: schedule like this. But that's another conversation. Because that's exactly
• 18:23
  Speaker 4: what I have happening right now. I had UCLA winning
• 18:27
  Speaker 4: out until maybe they lose to USC and then also
• 18:30
  Speaker 4: lose the Big Ten title game. And at that point,
• 18:31
  Speaker 4: that committee's got to sit there and think, we're going
• 18:33
  Speaker 4: to put in a team that just lost two in
• 18:35
  Speaker 4: a row to end the year. They don't have a
• 18:36
  Speaker 4: quality win to hang their hat on. But if we
• 18:38
  Speaker 4: don't do that, are we really bumping the runner up
• 18:42
  Speaker 4: In the second most powerful conference in college football this year,
• 18:45
  Speaker 4: out of the playoff entirely.
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: Kim, the argument to that is sitting at 23 is
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: Oregon right now. They sure are. If they get hot,
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: UCLA now has a quality win. You are correct.
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: Then there's also Iowa sitting at 19. And the hardest
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: game they have left on their schedule is Nebraska at
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: the end of the year.
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: And no disrespect to Nebraska, the last three weeks, you
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: think Iowa would handle their schedule. You're telling me it's
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: all going to come down to Nebraska.
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: It always does, doesn't it? It always does. Because they got...
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: Iowa's got Northwestern who just lost. They got Purdue, Illinois,
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: and then Nebraska. All very winnable games for Iowa.
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: So where does Iowa sit in that position?
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: And we haven't even talked about Ohio State, which the
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: biggest question mark for them was, what's the quarterback going
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: to do? He played fine in that game. The defense
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: was the one that gave up the X plays, and
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: they were bad in the red zone, along with all
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: the penalties. So the Big Ten is... another little factor
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: in beating the deep state.
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: I think we'll be in, you're not going to beat
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: the deep state. We're going to be in the best
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: position we possibly can too, with everything that you guys
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: are laying out. because they're like like for me like
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: if if i have the willie c college football playoff
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: rankings will be out soon but if the way i
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: would have these two lost sec teams they would be
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: sitting like 9 through 15 right but they're showing you
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: teams that they're protecting. And then you got Tennessee, LSU,
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: like we don't know what's going to happen over these
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: next few weeks because there's going to be a lot
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: of them with just three losses. And they're all going
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: to be like quality schedules, but they're going to have
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: them fluffed around that bubble because they're telling you Bama's
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: going to be in the bubble if they lose to LSU,
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: but they're going to be in a favorable bubble. If
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: Texas goes one and one over the next two weeks,
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: they're going to be in the bubble, but they'll be
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: in a favorable bubble, in a favorable bubble. If they
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: started in the bubble now, That's where everything that we're saying, like,
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: you're not going to be able to get in all these,
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: they're setting up all these teams, but they're tipping off.
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: The next three weeks are insane, especially for like, like
• 20:41
  Speaker 1: LSU and Tennessee are the most interesting ones because their
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: biggest games they have other than each other are at home.
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: Like Tennessee, Kentucky this weekend, and then Tennessee.
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: Will have LSU.
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: Those, I mean, those are all at home. We all
• 20:54
  Speaker 1: know Tennessee is completely different in LSU, same way, Alabama.
• 20:57
  Speaker 1: And they got Texas the following week, then Tennessee away
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: to where Okay, what if LSU beats Bama and then
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: beats Texas, but then loses to Tennessee? Where do we
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: sit then?
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: Let me ask you a better question.
• 21:08
  Speaker 4: Not that Eli Drinkwitz and I are on the best
• 21:09
  Speaker 4: of terms right now, but he's sitting at number 18.
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: Yes, sir.
• 21:13
  Speaker 4: I haven't heard anyone talk about Missouri. And outside of
• 21:16
  Speaker 4: Notre Dame, Missouri to me was the most interesting team
• 21:18
  Speaker 4: that I had my eye on going into the rankings
• 21:20
  Speaker 4: last night. So they're about where I thought they'd be.
• 21:23
  Speaker 4: I thought they'd be like 16 to 18, somewhere like that.
• 21:25
  Speaker 4: So they're 18. I think they can afford to lose
• 21:29
  Speaker 4: another game and still make it to the playoff.
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: Okay, hold on now. Yeah, go ahead. First off, you
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: started by saying this is going to be a better question,
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: and it wasn't. It's a scenario. I didn't know.
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: Okay, because they don't have Missouri's schedule in front of them.
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: They don't have the favoritism that these other SEC teams have.
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: They got the schedule. They got the schedule, but they
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: afforded to lose one. They would have to split, right,
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: between Texas and Georgia.
• 21:52
  Speaker 4: Forget about the names for a second. Let me tell
• 21:54
  Speaker 4: you what they have left. Let me tell you what
• 21:56
  Speaker 4: they have left. They play this week. They play number seven.
• 22:02
  Speaker 4: The week after that, they go to number two. And
• 22:05
  Speaker 4: then the week after that, they play number six. So
• 22:09
  Speaker 4: they got three games left against top seven teams. That
• 22:12
  Speaker 4: committee has shown you that they're valuing winning big games
• 22:16
  Speaker 4: more than they're punishing you for losing games unless you're
• 22:19
  Speaker 4: Ohio State and you lost your quarterback. That team right
• 22:21
  Speaker 4: there can afford to lose another game as long as
• 22:24
  Speaker 4: they win two out of the three games of those
• 22:26
  Speaker 4: top seven matchups and don't drop, I think it's Oklahoma
• 22:30
  Speaker 4: at the end of the year. They can't afford to
• 22:31
  Speaker 4: do that. Missouri's, they are ziplined up in the rafters
• 22:36
  Speaker 4: and they could go Shawn Michaels WrestleMania out of nowhere.
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: And they could just say, we're here. Look at us,
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: we're here. Yeah, Missouri could still make the playoffs even
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: with another loss. They did it. Yeah, you are right, bro.
• 22:47
  Speaker 1: Missouri loses to Texas this week.
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: Are they still in the top 25?
• 22:50
  Speaker 4: If Missouri loses to, oh yeah, they may be in
• 22:52
  Speaker 4: the top 20. If they lose close to Texas, buddy,
• 22:56
  Speaker 4: this is not being played in a vacuum. Other teams
• 22:58
  Speaker 4: are going to play this week and lose too. So
• 23:00
  Speaker 4: is Missouri going to fall further than other teams that
• 23:02
  Speaker 4: lose when their loss is to number seven?
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: If they're sitting there, it's close. 20, 21, something like that.
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: And you know, hey, we've still got number two and
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: number six coming up.
• 23:10
  Speaker 4: Now what could derail that or what could enhance it
• 23:13
  Speaker 4: is if Georgia loses to Ole Miss.
• 23:15
  Speaker 6: God, yes.
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: But what if Georgia beats Ole Miss? Or if Kentucky
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: loses to Tennessee, but what if Kentucky beats Tennessee? What if?
• 23:21
  Speaker 4: Yeah, so Missouri could come out of this weekend having
• 23:24
  Speaker 4: two top five matchups left.
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: And you know I love to buy some Mizzou stuff.
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: You do love it. Give me Austin Simmons in the playoffs, man.
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: Those are the two.
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: Those are the two outside of Nebraska for really.
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: This is, I kind of love the way they did this.
• 23:40
  Speaker 4: Play this in your mind. This will just tie you
• 23:42
  Speaker 4: in a pretzel. We could go for five hours on
• 23:44
  Speaker 4: this question. but I want you to think on it
• 23:47
  Speaker 4: for three seconds before you say anything. Coming out of
• 23:49
  Speaker 4: this upcoming weekend, Volcanic Saturday, Saturday of the century of
• 23:53
  Speaker 4: the year, how many different teams could be number one
• 23:56
  Speaker 4: next Tuesday? All right, that's three seconds.
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: You gave us a lot of time, though, to talk
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: about this. We know Miami could be number one next Tuesday.
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: So I've got to think for a little bit. All right,
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: so we know Miami. Yep. Georgia could easily be number one. Yep. Utah.
• 24:13
  Speaker 4: especially if either of those two teams lose in front
• 24:15
  Speaker 4: of them and if they beat Brigham Young, they could
• 24:18
  Speaker 4: vault to number one. Indiana, I don't think there's a path,
• 24:20
  Speaker 4: but who knows? Bama, if there's wreckage in front of
• 24:23
  Speaker 4: them and they beat LSU. Kentucky, ditto if they beat
• 24:26
  Speaker 4: Tennessee and there's wreckage in front of them. Texas, ditto
• 24:30
  Speaker 4: if there's unspeakable carnage in front of them and they
• 24:33
  Speaker 4: beat Missouri. UCLA, no. Brigham Young, ditto on all that.
• 24:37
  Speaker 4: If there's carnage in front of them and they beat
• 24:39
  Speaker 4: number three on the road... they're going to vault significantly.
• 24:43
  Speaker 4: Ole Miss, ditto to all that.
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: I think the most underreported or under-talked about facet of
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: all this is how far Ole Miss could vault this weekend.
• 24:51
  Speaker 4: Like, I've heard people, we've talked about this playoff this
• 24:53
  Speaker 4: morning for 20 minutes. We have not discussed Ole Miss once.
• 24:57
  Speaker 4: And Ole Miss has got the best quarterback in the country.
• 24:59
  Speaker 4: And they're playing number two at home this weekend. The
• 25:02
  Speaker 4: line's three and a half. We're going to break the
• 25:04
  Speaker 4: game down in a little while. If they win, let's
• 25:06
  Speaker 4: say about 10 points this Saturday.
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: Oh, my God. Ole Miss is right in the middle
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: of it. They've got the oldest quarterback in the country, too.
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, oldest quarterback, but the quarterback that's had the most
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: success against the number two team in the country.
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: You don't think, I mean, yeah, I can see what
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: you're saying. Indiana's on a bye this week.
• 25:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: If those teams lose in front of them, it's like
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: Indiana will be number one.
• 25:22
  Speaker 4: I think one of the teams that got a win
• 25:24
  Speaker 4: would vault over Indiana. But also remember, number 11 there
• 25:28
  Speaker 4: plays number one Saturday. Number 11 can beat number one Saturday.
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: Number 11 beats number one. Number 10 beats number two.
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: That'd be Cody's worst nightmare if Notre Dame wins on Saturday.
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: Leave the grave out of this, man. Graveyard hates Notre Dame.
• 25:44
  Speaker 4: What I'm saying is if we clapped right now and
• 25:46
  Speaker 4: we got to see next Tuesday's rankings before we've seen
• 25:49
  Speaker 4: the games, you would probably look at those rankings and
• 25:52
  Speaker 4: say a bomb's going off Saturday.
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: Multiple bombs are going off Saturday.
• 25:57
  Speaker 4: What would possibly have to happen for us to get
• 25:59
  Speaker 4: those rankings from the future that we would be looking.
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: At on the board? God damn.
• 26:08
  Speaker 4: What I'm telling people is You should absolutely go crazy
• 26:11
  Speaker 4: over this. You should also know it's not going to
• 26:13
  Speaker 4: look similar at all next Tuesday.
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Yeah. That's why I feel like they did a
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: good job.
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: The deep state being they. I think the deep state
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: did a good job setting us up for this one.
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: Oh, yeah. Putting what they need in position. Everything's in position.
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: The insurance policies are out there.
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: But if what Josh said is right about Alabama losing
• 26:31
  Speaker 1: one game and not making the playoffs.
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: Possibly not making the playoffs. And that is, you and
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: I both know, it's a massive stretch. Yeah, well, it
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: just depends on what the rest of their team's doing. Josh,
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: you know Bama's not going to not get in the playoffs.
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: If you're sitting one through five right now, you have
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: to lose multiple games at this point to be out
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: of the playoffs.
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: I don't think you do. I don't think you do. Okay,
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: maybe if they got whooped by LSU. They've already been
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: whooped on the road once this year. Why wouldn't it
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: potentially happen again? That's the only scenario. I don't think
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: it's the only scenario. If they lost close to LSU, bro,
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: they're five. They're getting in. If they lose close to
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: LSU and Kentucky drops multiple games and South Carolina, God forbid,
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: drops multiple games, there's nothing to hang their hat on.
• 27:15
  Speaker 2: Their quality wins aren't high-quality wins anymore is what I'm saying.
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: You hear that? That's a storm brewing. That's Saturday's storm brewing.
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: That's scary.
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: The more you start talking about Alabama can lose.
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: One or two, it's the end. The storm got stronger
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: and stronger. Are we good on audio? That's a God thing. No,
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: we're not at all. We interrupt this episode to bring
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: you Neutral. Neutral tastes great. It tastes so much better
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: than what else is out there. It's made with real
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: vodka and real juice. That's what makes it delicious. Pineapple
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: and watermelon to name a couple, and they also have
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: their new flavors, lime and strawberry. Perfect for social occasions
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: because it is such a crowd pleaser. Think on the
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: beach with friends, at an outdoor bar, on the lake,
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: at a music festival, watching ball with the boys on
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: a Saturday. It's the perfect time of year to grab
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: a 12-pack of Neutral for the beach or grab a
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: bucket deal in your favorite bar to celebrate summer. Neutral,
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: keep it tasty. We're back on the field. We're back
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: on it. We're back on it. We were just breaking
• 28:08
  Speaker 2: down a crazy SEC championship scenario. There are 19 different possibilities.
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: 19 different possibilities. I think we put Vandy in. If
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: everything falls right, I think we put Vandy in. It's
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: a possibility. Were there two and a half point dogs
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: this week? Mississippi State. Who knows?
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: At Mississippi State, I feel like we've done this, right?
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: We've hit all the things we need to hit. We have.
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: We could also go another hour. You think so? No,
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: I don't think it's disrespect. I think Wake Forest is...
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: Where were you having between 14 and 16, yeah? That
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: was my problem. I was asking who would I vault
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: them over. Right. Like Texas Tech, no. For me, I
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: would have all the teams. Tennessee, no. Ohio State, no.
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: Wake Forest is properly rated. Their only loss is to
• 28:51
  Speaker 2: the number one team in the country right now. True,
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: but it's also Deep State. And the Big Ten's won
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: three in a row. Exactly. So I'm saying it's disrespect
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: to Wake Forest. Because they're battling the Deep State. Do what?
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: I'd have Wake Forest in the top ten. Oh, something
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: just hit me. Go ahead. I don't know if your
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: mind works like this. Probably not.
• 29:08
  Speaker 4: When the playoff rankings come out, I know yours does
• 29:11
  Speaker 4: because I've watched you say it out loud before. You
• 29:13
  Speaker 4: look at it. and you keep working out scenarios in
• 29:16
  Speaker 4: your head, and then one just dawns on you. That like,
• 29:19
  Speaker 4: it's out of left field. You just never thought it
• 29:21
  Speaker 4: could happen, but then you realize, whoa, this could happen.
• 29:24
  Speaker 4: Georgia plays Ole Miss this weekend. It's a three and
• 29:27
  Speaker 4: a half point spread. Georgia could easily lose Saturday.
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: Second loss. You know where they go next week. They
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: go into the cockpit next week. Yeah. With their life
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: potentially on the line. Son of a bitch. Shitting it too.
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: I'm just saying, you remember not too long ago, there
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: was an argument being made, man, Bama could be the
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: number one team in the country.
• 29:57
  Speaker 4: And in the span of eight days, They lost to
• 29:59
  Speaker 4: Georgia and Tennessee, and they went from, that may be
• 30:02
  Speaker 4: the best team in the country, to, well, they just
• 30:04
  Speaker 4: got handled by Tennessee.
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: That offense is in a ditch. They may not make
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: the playoff. That can happen to anyone this year.
• 30:10
  Speaker 4: If you've got enough quality teams on your schedule, that
• 30:12
  Speaker 4: could happen to anyone this year. And I don't know
• 30:15
  Speaker 4: if it's hit you this way. I feel like most
• 30:18
  Speaker 4: of the country is just forgetting Georgia already lost. Like
• 30:22
  Speaker 4: that Auburn loss, it just got wiped from people's memories.
• 30:25
  Speaker 4: How do they think half the country thinks Georgia's undefeated?
• 30:27
  Speaker 2: And they're not. They got a loss. It's a bad loss,
• 30:30
  Speaker 2: but people keep excusing it because they don't think Georgia's
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: going to lose again. Because they're Georgia. So they just
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: don't think it's going to matter. Yeah.
• 30:35
  Speaker 4: But it could very much matter really quickly if they
• 30:37
  Speaker 4: lose Saturday.
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: You're right, because I'm one of them. I got forgotten. Georgia, Georgia.
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: It's like I know. Right. It's like I know they
• 30:46
  Speaker 2: lost Auburn, but I'm like, ah, they let down spot.
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: When they asked us, who do you think the best
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: team in the country is, we all kind of said Georgia.
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think they're the most complete squad. But if
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: they lose to Ole Miss. Going into the cockpit the
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: next week. Two losses in a row for Kirby Smart
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: and Gunnar Stockton. Come on, man. That don't happen. That
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: don't happen. He's undefeated after an in-law season. By an
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: average of 21.
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: Because Georgia's in at that nine spot in two weeks.
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: And they dominate. Because they lose two games, Georgia's still in.
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: I guess. I don't know. Who knows anything? The world
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: sees them as undefeated. They'll be a two loss team. Yeah,
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: they'll be a two loss team. Yeah, they'll be a
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: two loss team. Because that is crazy.
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: It's just a crazy thought process too of like not
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: having Georgia or Alabama in the SEC championship.
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: It would be insane. And they're, I think currently, can
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: you check this on FanDuel? The odds to win the
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: SEC championship. I still think Georgia, Alabama are the top two. But, dude,
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: I would hate to be running FanDuel right now. I
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: would hate to have to post these odds publicly.
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: One bet that you gave me, the Ohio State that
• 31:54
  Speaker 1: missed the playoffs a few weeks ago, only to bounce
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: back and forth. I took that bet on FanDuel, my bias.
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: But now it's looking pretty spooky.
• 32:03
  Speaker 2: For Ohio State. Yeah, they hate it on us. Look
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: at that now. Georgia, LSU. Okay, so that move. But
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: they're all very similar. LSU. Like there are four teams
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: there that are very similar. My futures pick, LSU, is
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: sitting right there. What are you shaking your head for?
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: It's going to end this week. No, it's not, man.
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: I don't think so.
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: So, you give Alabama slack for their schedule.
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: Who is LSU beating all year? Nobody yet. They got
• 32:27
  Speaker 2: it all in front of them. There's a lot of
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: value on Texas right there, by the way. But also,
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: LSU is getting hot at the perfect time. Similar to
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: the Cocks. It's a lot of value on Texas to
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: lose money. Bro, sometimes you just need confidence. Lane is hot.
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: All right. You've already talked about it. Georgia's still negative 105.
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: Minus 105 to win. I don't think anyone should be
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: that favored to win that league right now. I agree.
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: But that's how the world views Georgia. Does FanDuel know
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: they've lost a game? I don't think they do. And
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: I'll say this, too. We said in the Futures, like,
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: it's hard to bet against Kirby Smart and Gunnar Stock.
• 33:00
  Speaker 3: It is.
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: Yes, it is.
• 33:01
  Speaker 1: But we just sit in a crazy world right now.
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: What if everything kind of just mellows out?
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: After the three weeks of.
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: Chaos, the first college football playoffs come out, and then
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: all of a sudden everything just chills.
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: There's just no way. There's no way, right? Mathematically, there's
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: no way. It's a simple math equation at this point.
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: It's a simple math equation. All right, let's get to
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: the first game, dude. Kentucky at Tennessee. Tennessee's favored by
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: six and a half points. That line's moved, yeah? Was
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: it five and a half just the other day? I
• 33:30
  Speaker 1: think it's kind of set there all week.
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: How's it? It's six and a half. All right, maybe
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: not the end of the point. Total points in that
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: game is 50 and a half points. Chaos?
• 33:39
  Speaker 4: Hey, I'll say this about a lot of these games.
• 33:42
  Speaker 4: We're calling this the Saturday of the century of the
• 33:44
  Speaker 4: millennium or whatever. Normally, when you have that, it's a
• 33:47
  Speaker 4: bunch of games that are like pick them minus one,
• 33:48
  Speaker 4: minus two. A lot of these things, Notre Dame, this game, LSU, Bama,
• 33:52
  Speaker 4: they're all five and a half, six and a half
• 33:54
  Speaker 4: point spreads. Like there's a clear favorite on paper.
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: In these games. You want to know where I'm going
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: with this? Yeah, I do. I think Tennessee is going
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: to win in cover. Yeah, I think Kentucky.
• 34:05
  Speaker 4: So here's the good part for them is that they've
• 34:09
  Speaker 4: been plus 12 turnover margin so far this year. They've
• 34:11
  Speaker 4: been plus two in every SEC game, turnover-wise, that they've
• 34:15
  Speaker 4: won this year. The Bama game was the only exception.
• 34:18
  Speaker 4: So that's wonderful. I don't discount that. I don't excuse
• 34:22
  Speaker 4: your wins away because you were plus turnovers because they're
• 34:24
  Speaker 4: skilled at taking the ball away, especially the teams that
• 34:26
  Speaker 4: keep doing that. From a predictive standpoint, I have a
• 34:30
  Speaker 4: hard time just thinking that's going to continue. And I
• 34:32
  Speaker 4: also have a hard time thinking that for a team
• 34:35
  Speaker 4: that South Carolina ran the ball consistently on, for a
• 34:38
  Speaker 4: team that Texas A & M ran the ball pretty
• 34:40
  Speaker 4: well on, albeit in losses, I have a hard time
• 34:42
  Speaker 4: believing they're going to shut Tennessee down on the ground.
• 34:45
  Speaker 4: And so Tennessee, they're both coming off a bye, I think.
• 34:48
  Speaker 4: You get them at home at night in Neyland Stadium.
• 34:51
  Speaker 4: I just think at some point, man, like cream starts
• 34:54
  Speaker 4: to rise. I know that sounds disrespectful to Kentucky.
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: It's not.
• 34:57
  Speaker 4: Kentucky's in a conversation we never thought they would be
• 34:59
  Speaker 4: in this late in the year. And I think they
• 35:02
  Speaker 4: emerged from this a really good team. But I think
• 35:04
  Speaker 4: the better team with home field probably needs to be
• 35:07
  Speaker 4: favored above that seven number and they're not. So I'm
• 35:10
  Speaker 4: going to take Tennessee minus six and.
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: A half and I'm going to put three units on it.
• 35:14
  Speaker 2: A piece he wants to do four. Another piece he
• 35:16
  Speaker 2: wants to do two.
• 35:18
  Speaker 4: A piece of me has lost half of my net
• 35:20
  Speaker 4: worth in units over the past three weeks, so it
• 35:22
  Speaker 4: doesn't know what it.
• 35:23
  Speaker 2: Wants to do. Well, you've got to swing a big stick, man.
• 35:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 35:25
  Speaker 2: Swing a big stick and just live and die by
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: the sword.
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: I like you at Tennessee. I'm with you on Tennessee.
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: I think the quarterback's gotten a whole lot better as
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: it's gone.
• 35:32
  Speaker 2: He's been well-complimented.
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: But, like, you brought it up. Tennessee wants to win
• 35:35
  Speaker 1: the football. Kentucky's shown that you can win the football
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: against them. Minchie has been a great quarterback. but he
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: gets a little gun-shy at times, and they're not phenomenal.
• 35:42
  Speaker 2: On third down. Doesn't turn it over, though.
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but Tennessee, Jim Knowles, that defense, they do an
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: incredible job of getting you in third and long, third
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: and plus, and that's where Kentucky has had their Achilles heel.
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: They're not great on third down. They're a team that
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: likes to give you death by a thousand cuts, and
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: when you're playing in a place like Neyland Stadium, where
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: it rocks that hard, you've seen Texas flounder around, you
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: saw Alabama flounder around in there, and would those games
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: maybe be different If it was in a different spot, probably.
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: But because of this fan base and how crazy they
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: get at nighttime, I have to believe that Tennessee wins
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: this game and covers this game because all eyes are
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: on November 21st with LSU and Tennessee.
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: And remember, Tennessee folks believe they've been done wrong. Yeah.
• 36:25
  Speaker 2: By the playoff committee. Disrespect.
• 36:26
  Speaker 4: They are not a protected brand right now.
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 36:29
  Speaker 4: They're on the outside looking in, but they also know
• 36:32
  Speaker 4: we've got our fate in our own hands. And if
• 36:34
  Speaker 4: it's Kentucky's blood that has to be smeared on the wall...
• 36:37
  Speaker 4: then it's Kentucky's blood that has to be smeared on
• 36:39
  Speaker 4: the wall.
• 36:41
  Speaker 2: Everything that you guys have said, the only two things
• 36:44
  Speaker 2: that Kentucky is great at is they're number two in
• 36:47
  Speaker 2: the country with takeaways. They're also top ten when it
• 36:50
  Speaker 2: comes to penalties. You were playing in Neyland. When you
• 36:54
  Speaker 2: look at the entire profile of Kentucky, here's some paper poppers.
• 36:59
  Speaker 2: They're 66 in the country on both total offense and
• 37:03
  Speaker 2: total defense. Then you want to look at situational football.
• 37:05
  Speaker 2: You alluded to third down. They're number 126th in the
• 37:09
  Speaker 2: country in third down defense. They're number 106th in third
• 37:13
  Speaker 2: down offense. Let's get to the red zone. They're 108th
• 37:16
  Speaker 2: in the country in red zone offense. They're 104 in
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: red zone defense. There's nothing that this team does great
• 37:23
  Speaker 2: other than you look at the win and loss column.
• 37:25
  Speaker 2: Big fan of Willie Stein. I respect what Kentucky's done,
• 37:28
  Speaker 2: but looking at the rushing attack of Tennessee, how this
• 37:31
  Speaker 2: defense can get after your ass. I like Tennessee minus
• 37:34
  Speaker 2: six and a half. I'm also going to go five
• 37:36
  Speaker 2: units on it. This is my five unit game. I
• 37:39
  Speaker 2: feel really good about Tennessee. Thank you. Five units. I'll
• 37:46
  Speaker 2: do four units. I'll do four units on Tennessee minus
• 37:50
  Speaker 2: six and a half here. This is one of those games.
• 37:55
  Speaker 2: Like Kentucky.
• 37:57
  Speaker 5: It is one of those games, man.
• 38:00
  Speaker 2: I know Kentucky's fired up. They should be. But Neyland,
• 38:04
  Speaker 2: that place is going to be on fire, bro. We
• 38:06
  Speaker 2: interrupt this episode to remind you about FanDuel's college football pick-em.
• 38:11
  Speaker 2: Ten games to pick against the spread every week, and
• 38:14
  Speaker 2: it is for free. If you go 10 out of
• 38:17
  Speaker 2: 10 against the spread, you'll be entered into a jackpot
• 38:20
  Speaker 2: of $ 500, 000, of which you will split with anybody else
• 38:23
  Speaker 2: who went 10 out of 10 last weekend. Also, if
• 38:27
  Speaker 2: you outpick me, Josh Pate, or Taylor LeJuan in our
• 38:32
  Speaker 2: picks against the spread, last week I went 4 out
• 38:35
  Speaker 2: of 10. Josh went 4 out of 10. Taylor went
• 38:37
  Speaker 2: 8 out of 10. A whopping 8 out of 10.
• 38:40
  Speaker 2: You almost got yourself in the jackpot, big dog. But
• 38:42
  Speaker 2: if you outpick one of us, so if you would
• 38:44
  Speaker 2: have went 5 out of 10, you would have earned
• 38:46
  Speaker 2: yourself a profit boost token because you beat me and
• 38:48
  Speaker 2: Josh Pate. Don't forget, FanDuel's College Pick'Em. It's free to play.
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: BYU at Utah, the whole award taking place. Utah favored
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: by minus 5.5. Total points in the game is 48.5 points. BYU,
• 39:04
  Speaker 1: LJ Martin comes back. Biggest question mark for BYU is
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: when Bear Buckmeyer is in a pinch, can he throw
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: the ball? He showed he could do that against what
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: people thought was one of the best secondaries in the
• 39:13
  Speaker 1: country against Notre Dame. But you turn on this Utah
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: film on the offensive side of the ball, and I just...
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: I couldn't tell you how to defend it. Even the
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: first play against Cincinnati last week, Devin Dampier is basically
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: getting tackled by three guys and then pitches it off
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: for a 15-yard game. and they just have so many
• 39:30
  Speaker 1: creative ways to get it done it being at utah
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: is a a huge edge for me and every every
• 39:37
  Speaker 1: game every team that we've seen have big win after
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: big win seem to falter and fall utah hasn't been
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: that way at all they've had big games they've taken
• 39:45
  Speaker 1: care of business they go to cincinnati And, like, what,
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: they're up 45-7, 42-7 at halftime?
• 39:52
  Speaker 3: Mm-hmm.
• 39:53
  Speaker 2: Like, Cincinnati ran the ball effectively against them, but... Didn't matter.
• 39:57
  Speaker 2: Didn't matter.
• 39:58
  Speaker 1: I like Utah minus five and a half in this game.
• 40:01
  Speaker 1: I'll take them to win. I'll take them to cover.
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: I want to slap the table, but I'll just go four,
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: and I might come back to it because there's so
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: many great games that I... Like, I know I want
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: to slap on one, but I'll go Utah minus five
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: and a half here.
• 40:15
  Speaker 2: The creativity that Utah has, whether it's... 22 personnel, 12 personnel,
• 40:20
  Speaker 2: 11 personnel. These backfields that they get into and the
• 40:23
  Speaker 2: creativity that they have with the plus run, the plus
• 40:26
  Speaker 2: one of Dan Pierre, it is fun to watch. This
• 40:31
  Speaker 2: right here. And I need the viewers at home. Don't
• 40:34
  Speaker 2: put a whole lot of stock into Willie C on
• 40:35
  Speaker 2: this one. This one is chaos play for myself. So
• 40:39
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna go two units. I'm taking BYU to cover
• 40:42
  Speaker 2: plus five and a half. I also hope BYU wins
• 40:44
  Speaker 2: this game. I do trust the defense. LJ Martin coming
• 40:47
  Speaker 2: back I think would be a massive win for BYU,
• 40:51
  Speaker 2: but I got, this is BYU, this is a chaos play,
• 40:54
  Speaker 2: this is deep state, I'm going BYU plus five and
• 40:57
  Speaker 2: a half. You're laying down the train tracks to stop
• 41:00
  Speaker 2: the deep state with that play. That's not you. No, no,
• 41:02
  Speaker 2: there's so many dominoes that have to fall. But this
• 41:06
  Speaker 2: is one of them. This simply is one of them. Yes.
• 41:08
  Speaker 2: This is part of it. You're not playing for units
• 41:11
  Speaker 2: on this game. You're playing for chaos. Yeah, I'm playing
• 41:14
  Speaker 2: for keeps. I'm playing for keeps. I'm playing for keeps
• 41:16
  Speaker 2: on this game. You don't know what it means, but
• 41:18
  Speaker 2: we're playing for them. Yeah, we're playing for keeps. Yeah,
• 41:21
  Speaker 2: this is one of those. Okay. You're giving me five
• 41:25
  Speaker 2: and a half with BYU? Holy war? Yeah.
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 41:29
  Speaker 4: I kind of feel that way. And I picked Utah
• 41:30
  Speaker 4: on our show last night. And that number just keeps
• 41:33
  Speaker 4: going up. There's several games this week. The number just
• 41:35
  Speaker 4: keeps going up. And you wonder, what does FanDuel know?
• 41:38
  Speaker 4: What does anyone know? No one knows anything right now.
• 41:42
  Speaker 4: So I watched them last week. I watched Utah really
• 41:46
  Speaker 4: the last couple of weeks. And the last sort of
• 41:51
  Speaker 4: passing thoughts in my mind that they haven't played anyone,
• 41:54
  Speaker 4: that kind of got thrown out the window because they
• 41:56
  Speaker 4: just woodshedded two people, two teams that I thought were
• 41:58
  Speaker 4: really quality in Houston. And then what they did against
• 42:00
  Speaker 4: Cincinnati last week was impressive. Not because Cincinnati's so great,
• 42:04
  Speaker 4: but it's a quality team. And you went on the
• 42:06
  Speaker 4: road in a letdown spot and you had 42 at
• 42:08
  Speaker 4: the half. I don't care how you did it. I
• 42:10
  Speaker 4: don't care if they handed you half of those literally
• 42:12
  Speaker 4: in a picnic basket. That's pretty incredible. So they look
• 42:15
  Speaker 4: like a machine. Dampier, I think, has two plus touchdowns
• 42:19
  Speaker 4: in 16 straight games. So he's rolling. The one thing
• 42:23
  Speaker 4: about Brigham Young that I wonder, LJ Martin, if he's
• 42:26
  Speaker 4: back here, how effective is he? Because it's one thing
• 42:28
  Speaker 4: to get a guy back. It's another thing like, man,
• 42:30
  Speaker 4: he came back and ran it 25 times for 180 yards.
• 42:34
  Speaker 4: I think there are two really good quarterbacks, one of
• 42:37
  Speaker 4: whom we know.
• 42:37
  Speaker 2: About in Dampier.
• 42:38
  Speaker 4: The other, Bachmeier, kind of announced his emergence onto the
• 42:41
  Speaker 4: national scene, I think, in that Notre Dame game. We
• 42:43
  Speaker 4: knew about him, but you hadn't seen him shine in
• 42:45
  Speaker 4: a big game like that. My lean here and my
• 42:48
  Speaker 4: bet here is actually going to be over 48.5 because
• 42:51
  Speaker 4: I think there are two good enough offenses here, even
• 42:54
  Speaker 4: in a rivalry game. Probably starts a little bit low scoring,
• 42:58
  Speaker 4: but I think this game is eventually going to hit
• 42:59
  Speaker 4: its stride enough to where– We get mid to upper 20s,
• 43:03
  Speaker 4: kind of a back-and-forth game, like a 31-27 type final,
• 43:07
  Speaker 4: 31-24 type final. I think it's going to go over 48.5,
• 43:10
  Speaker 4: so I'm going to go three units over 48.5. My
• 43:14
  Speaker 4: slight lean on the game is Utah, but I'm just
• 43:16
  Speaker 4: not comfortable enough to lay the points.
• 43:19
  Speaker 2: They haven't won the Holy War since 19? Pre-20s. Pre-COVID. Yeah, pre-COVID.
• 43:27
  Speaker 2: This is one of those games, man. I like your plan, BYU.
• 43:31
  Speaker 2: For the chaos scenario, but I just feel like Utah
• 43:33
  Speaker 2: is just, they're a pretty complete team right now. Yeah,
• 43:36
  Speaker 2: they are. And the biggest thing taking away from them
• 43:38
  Speaker 2: is the logo of the Big 12.
• 43:40
  Speaker 1: They might just be one of those teams that could actually,
• 43:43
  Speaker 1: we get in the playoffs and be like, oh shit,
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: they're actually just this good.
• 43:45
  Speaker 2: Big 12 Indiana? Yeah. Yeah. BYU could also throw out
• 43:48
  Speaker 2: a reminder to everybody, like they had the big one
• 43:50
  Speaker 2: against Notre Dame and what have they done since then?
• 43:52
  Speaker 2: They lost to UCF. They didn't play that well. They
• 43:54
  Speaker 2: got away. They survived Arizona State. Like they haven't put
• 43:57
  Speaker 2: together a complete game like they did against Notre Dame.
• 44:01
  Speaker 2: So I'm just assuming, you've got to assume that the
• 44:04
  Speaker 2: urgency in the building to obviously going to Utah for
• 44:07
  Speaker 2: the Holy War, you're giving five and a half here
• 44:10
  Speaker 2: with BYU?
• 44:11
  Speaker 1: But wouldn't you have seen that urgency against Arizona? Regardless
• 44:13
  Speaker 1: of whether you have Utah the next week or not,
• 44:15
  Speaker 1: you just lost to UCF. So the urgency should be there.
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: At the very least, your fastball, the run game, should
• 44:20
  Speaker 1: be super effective. But they haven't had an effective run
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: game since the.
• 44:23
  Speaker 2: Notre Dame game.
• 44:23
  Speaker 4: That was one of my concerns is if you view
• 44:26
  Speaker 4: college football teams as like art teams.
• 44:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 44:30
  Speaker 4: Some of them peak early, some of them peak late.
• 44:32
  Speaker 4: And BYU may have just peaked early. And Utah may
• 44:34
  Speaker 4: be peaking right now. And if that's happening simultaneous, that's
• 44:38
  Speaker 4: where you get a lopsided game. But then it's a
• 44:40
  Speaker 4: rivalry game. And also, there's this entire notion that it
• 44:43
  Speaker 4: feels like a week where you just start over every week.
• 44:47
  Speaker 2: I watch Georgia go beat Alabama. I watch them lose
• 44:50
  Speaker 2: to Auburn. And I'm like, which team are they? Well,
• 44:52
  Speaker 2: they're both. You're just going to have 12 pretty wide
• 44:56
  Speaker 2: variance results.
• 44:58
  Speaker 4: You put them all in a blender. That's that team.
• 45:00
  Speaker 4: Utah just happens to be rolling right now. So I'm
• 45:02
  Speaker 4: definitely not betting against them. But I also understand this
• 45:05
  Speaker 4: sport does not work like that. It does not work
• 45:08
  Speaker 4: nice and linearly and neat and organized and everyone stays
• 45:11
  Speaker 4: on the exact trajectory that they've been on. Maybe Brigham
• 45:14
  Speaker 4: Young just plays their two best games against their two
• 45:16
  Speaker 4: best opponents of the year.
• 45:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 45:18
  Speaker 2: Like maybe that could happen. I just want points. That's
• 45:20
  Speaker 2: all I need. All you need is points. Points, points, points.
• 45:22
  Speaker 2: You brought up Georgia.
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: Georgia at Ole Miss. Ole Miss is dogs. Three and
• 45:26
  Speaker 1: a half points. Total points that game is 56 and
• 45:29
  Speaker 1: a half. This is my chaos play. I'm going to
• 45:33
  Speaker 1: take an Ole Miss. I'm going to take them two units.
• 45:38
  Speaker 1: And I'm going to take Ole Miss money line. Can
• 45:39
  Speaker 1: I do that here?
• 45:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, of course. All right.
• 45:41
  Speaker 1: I'm going to go money line. Ole Miss, Trinidad-Chamberlain, the
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: two games he's played against Georgia last year, where he
• 45:48
  Speaker 1: had 625 yards. He accounted for five total touchdowns and
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: zero interceptions. Trinidad's been a little more loose with the
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: football this year, but... We've seen that mobile, elusive quarterbacks
• 46:01
  Speaker 1: give Georgia fits. And then Keewan Lacy, he didn't get
• 46:03
  Speaker 1: a snap against Auburn, but they still rushed the ball
• 46:05
  Speaker 1: for 224 yards. So they're starting to figure it out
• 46:08
  Speaker 1: even without Keewan Lacy. Deuce Alexander had multiple brutal drops
• 46:12
  Speaker 1: in that game, even in a blowout win against Auburn.
• 46:14
  Speaker 1: So I see them turn it up quite a bit.
• 46:18
  Speaker 2: Georgia....
• 46:21
  Speaker 1: I want chaos. That's basically it. Because if I sit
• 46:24
  Speaker 1: there and I'm like, well, Georgia, it's like they run
• 46:26
  Speaker 1: the ball well. They had the handcuffs on Gunnar Stockton
• 46:28
  Speaker 1: a little bit. But he's shown, especially in the Alabama game,
• 46:31
  Speaker 1: that if he needs to, he can throw it into
• 46:32
  Speaker 1: tight windows. He's a better quarterback throwing it than people think.
• 46:35
  Speaker 2: Phenomenal on third down. But something about Ole Miss. Ole
• 46:38
  Speaker 2: Miss struggles on third down. Something about the chaos. Because
• 46:40
  Speaker 2: they lose. They have the big game against LSU. They
• 46:42
  Speaker 2: lose to Florida the next week, correct?
• 46:43
  Speaker 1: Mm-hmm. And everyone's kind of forgot about them. And then
• 46:46
  Speaker 1: they hold Missouri to 36 yards rushing. Because their front
• 46:50
  Speaker 1: seven was supposed to be the strength They kind of
• 46:51
  Speaker 1: fell apart, and now they're showing that they are the
• 46:54
  Speaker 1: strength again, especially between the tackles.
• 46:56
  Speaker 2: And what does Georgia love to do?
• 46:57
  Speaker 1: They love to run in between the tackles. So if
• 46:59
  Speaker 1: you make Georgia throw the football, and Gunnar Stockton has
• 47:02
  Speaker 1: a couple of turnovers like he did against Auburn, who's
• 47:05
  Speaker 1: to say that Ole Miss can't handle this game? So
• 47:07
  Speaker 1: give me two units, Ole Miss, Moneyline, chaos, play by me.
• 47:12
  Speaker 2: It's big of you. Thank you. We all want the
• 47:15
  Speaker 2: same thing, right? We all want to argue until the
• 47:18
  Speaker 2: season's over. I want to argue after the season's over.
• 47:20
  Speaker 2: Hell yeah. Whatever we want it to end. Exactly. So
• 47:23
  Speaker 2: you mentioned Ole Miss on third down there. They're in
• 47:25
  Speaker 2: like the one teens in third down.
• 47:28
  Speaker 4: The Georgia folks are kind of funny right now because
• 47:30
  Speaker 4: they're coming off points-wise of convincing land against Florida. But
• 47:35
  Speaker 4: the offense was nothing that was all that impressive. Now,
• 47:39
  Speaker 4: I look at that from a football standpoint, and I
• 47:41
  Speaker 4: say that's a coaching staff that understood very, very quickly
• 47:44
  Speaker 4: if we take knees offensively today, we're going to win.
• 47:47
  Speaker 4: Florida is in the process of giving a game away.
• 47:50
  Speaker 4: We're in the process defensively of taking the game from Florida.
• 47:53
  Speaker 4: It does not matter what we do offensively. I just
• 47:55
  Speaker 4: don't think they rev the engine offensively. I watched them
• 47:58
  Speaker 4: against Alabama. So I know Gunnar Stockton can make the throws.
• 48:02
  Speaker 4: I know that they can be razor sharp efficient on
• 48:04
  Speaker 4: the road in a hostile environment on third down. I
• 48:07
  Speaker 4: know they've got several different pass catchers that can come through.
• 48:10
  Speaker 4: I know they can really weaponize that tight end position.
• 48:12
  Speaker 4: And I know they can run the ball. As much
• 48:14
  Speaker 4: as I and everyone else remembers Ole Miss shutting Missouri
• 48:18
  Speaker 4: down on the ground, I remember Florida gashing them a
• 48:20
  Speaker 4: little bit. I remember Texas getting after them a little bit.
• 48:23
  Speaker 4: And so Georgia's going to be able to run the ball.
• 48:26
  Speaker 4: I just flat out think there's more in the tank
• 48:27
  Speaker 4: offensively than some people believe. If they need it, I
• 48:30
  Speaker 4: think it's going to be there for them. And if
• 48:34
  Speaker 4: Ole Miss just is 8 of 12 on third down,
• 48:37
  Speaker 4: it'll be an Ole Miss game. If it's really a
• 48:39
  Speaker 4: repeat of the Sugar Bowl last year, where Trinidad Chambliss
• 48:42
  Speaker 4: just takes matters into his own hands, Ole Miss will
• 48:44
  Speaker 4: probably win the game.
• 48:45
  Speaker 2: By the way, people won't remember this. That Georgia-Ole Miss game,
• 48:49
  Speaker 2: if you just go back and watch it, is one
• 48:50
  Speaker 2: of the most hard-hitting games that you will have seen
• 48:53
  Speaker 2: in the last 10 years in college football. It's not
• 48:55
  Speaker 2: remembered that way because it was a high-scoring game. It
• 48:57
  Speaker 2: was Trinidad Chambliss. They killed each other.
• 49:01
  Speaker 4: Gunnar Stockton took like three of the hardest hits that
• 49:03
  Speaker 4: I've seen a quarterback take, and it was all him,
• 49:05
  Speaker 4: all in the same game. I believe in Georgia enough
• 49:09
  Speaker 4: to lay those three and a half. It's very low confidence.
• 49:11
  Speaker 4: It's just one unit for me, but I will lay
• 49:13
  Speaker 4: the three and a half of Georgia on the road.
• 49:15
  Speaker 2: I'm a low confidence as well. I'm going two units
• 49:18
  Speaker 2: on this game. I'm taking Georgia to cover. For me,
• 49:21
  Speaker 2: all it comes down to is how teams have played.
• 49:23
  Speaker 2: Like to your point on Ole Miss, getting one here
• 49:26
  Speaker 2: is Gunnar Stockton that we know in the first six
• 49:29
  Speaker 2: weeks showing up versus Gunnar Stockton that we've seen in
• 49:31
  Speaker 2: the last two weeks. There's some fun little stats to
• 49:34
  Speaker 2: dive into. with Gunnar Stockton versus Mann and pressure. Like
• 49:39
  Speaker 2: if you get this dude to move his feet a
• 49:40
  Speaker 2: little bit, the last two weeks versus Blitz, he dropped
• 49:43
  Speaker 2: down to 56% versus Blitz. Versus the first six games
• 49:46
  Speaker 2: he had, he was thrown at 77%. Versus Mann, he's
• 49:51
  Speaker 2: been 50% the last two weeks. The first six games,
• 49:53
  Speaker 2: he was 70%. When you look at how teams have
• 49:56
  Speaker 2: attacked him, in those first six games collectively, He faced
• 50:01
  Speaker 2: 11 man pressures, okay? In the last two, there's been
• 50:06
  Speaker 2: 19 man pressures sent at him. So teams are figuring out, hey,
• 50:10
  Speaker 2: we got to get after this guy. We got to
• 50:12
  Speaker 2: get him moving his feet, and we got to win
• 50:14
  Speaker 2: in man coverage because he struggled a little bit more
• 50:16
  Speaker 2: in the last two of throwing those tighter windows. It's
• 50:19
  Speaker 2: all about if Ole Miss can get the pressure on him.
• 50:22
  Speaker 2: And hold up because the two in the middle that
• 50:25
  Speaker 2: you got to worry about, like if there's any leakage,
• 50:27
  Speaker 2: if I'm reaching for an offensive lineman that's given up
• 50:30
  Speaker 2: pressure for Georgia because there hasn't been many. It's Drew
• 50:33
  Speaker 2: Bobo who's given up seven pressures internally. And you're going
• 50:36
  Speaker 2: up against Will Echols and Cam Franklin who collectively they
• 50:39
  Speaker 2: have five sacks and 33. They've pressured the quarterback 33
• 50:42
  Speaker 2: times internally. So it's can Drew Bobo, can they hold
• 50:46
  Speaker 2: these cats up internally? And then can Gunner Stockton deliver
• 50:50
  Speaker 2: versus man coverage? I'm going with Gunner Stockton here because
• 50:54
  Speaker 2: I just believe, to your point, they got it in them.
• 50:57
  Speaker 2: They have the weapons. It's just, am I going to
• 51:00
  Speaker 2: put my stock in Gunner Stockton showing up? That answer
• 51:02
  Speaker 2: is going to be yes. So I have two units
• 51:05
  Speaker 2: on Georgia to cover, minus three and a half. It's
• 51:07
  Speaker 2: the safe bet.
• 51:08
  Speaker 4: This game's happening simultaneous to Miami-Notre Dame. It's happening after
• 51:13
  Speaker 4: we've already watched Holy War, after we've already watched Texas-Missouri,
• 51:16
  Speaker 4: after we've already watched Alabama-LSU.
• 51:19
  Speaker 2: Kentucky, Tennessee just kicked off when this thing's going on.
• 51:22
  Speaker 4: Can you imagine how fast your brain is spinning by
• 51:26
  Speaker 4: this point Saturday?
• 51:31
  Speaker 2: Especially if you've seen chaos throughout the day already. Oh, man.
• 51:34
  Speaker 1: Because those things tend to just compound on top of
• 51:38
  Speaker 1: each other. When teams start losing that shit and lose
• 51:39
  Speaker 1: it or are favored, Georgia's sitting there in that late
• 51:43
  Speaker 1: evening slate. We've seen a bunch of favored teams go down.
• 51:46
  Speaker 1: It's going to be spooky for Georgia post-Spooktober.
• 51:49
  Speaker 2: And there's a part of me that's almost regretting not
• 51:51
  Speaker 2: taking the over here because it's like, we might just
• 51:53
  Speaker 2: get this physical shootout again. You can still take the over.
• 51:56
  Speaker 2: I know I can, but I'm going with Georgia. Because
• 52:00
  Speaker 2: I love the defense. Like, I believe in that defense. Yeah. Like,
• 52:04
  Speaker 2: Trinidad can go off. Gunner Stockson that we're talking about
• 52:07
  Speaker 2: shows up, and it's just a physical shootout once again.
• 52:09
  Speaker 1: I'm going to hate myself if he overhits. The defense,
• 52:14
  Speaker 1: like those off-ball linebackers, if anybody's going to be able
• 52:16
  Speaker 1: to run and contain Trinidad-Chambers, it's going to be those
• 52:19
  Speaker 1: guys being able to spy. They're that freakish athletically.
• 52:22
  Speaker 2: And the majority of those guys that felt what this
• 52:24
  Speaker 2: Ole Miss offense did to them last year, the majority
• 52:26
  Speaker 2: of them are still in that room. Just need those
• 52:29
  Speaker 2: boys to show up. Need those boys to show up.
• 52:32
  Speaker 2: In Oxford. In Oxford. Night game. World misses damn good.
• 52:36
  Speaker 2: Already took LSU down at home. Speaking of LSU, we
• 52:41
  Speaker 2: got Alabama at LSU. Not a night game.
• 52:43
  Speaker 1: Lane Kiffin says he understands that the whole college football
• 52:47
  Speaker 1: world is against him by making it that way. LSU
• 52:49
  Speaker 1: is favored by five and a half points. Total in
• 52:51
  Speaker 1: that game is 52 and a half.
• 52:55
  Speaker 2: Gentlemen. This game is so confusing to me. Because Bama's
• 53:01
  Speaker 2: getting healthy. Again, Zabian Brownback, they're getting– I think so anyway.
• 53:06
  Speaker 2: That's what Coach DeBoer has alluded to. Right. Reading between
• 53:10
  Speaker 2: the lines, you're getting back Terrence Green. You're getting back
• 53:12
  Speaker 2: Zabian Brown. You're getting back Ryan Coleman-Williams. You're getting back
• 53:15
  Speaker 2: your center. Cruel. Running back. Yes. Yeah, one of their
• 53:20
  Speaker 2: starting running backs. Dude, this Bama team healthy has shown
• 53:25
  Speaker 2: that they are so good and they can be so
• 53:27
  Speaker 2: good if that team's showing up. I like him here.
• 53:30
  Speaker 2: It's so hard because I can't get like what LSU
• 53:35
  Speaker 2: has defensively. It's what Tennessee had and it's pass rush.
• 53:40
  Speaker 2: They have the catch across the board talent wise. And
• 53:43
  Speaker 2: just the Tennessee game just in my head of them
• 53:46
  Speaker 2: getting after Keelan Russell and That's where I'm just so
• 53:51
  Speaker 2: confused because I want to take Bama with the points,
• 53:54
  Speaker 2: but part of me is like, man, LSU could just
• 53:57
  Speaker 2: out-physical this team because Sam Levitz looked like the best
• 54:00
  Speaker 2: QB in the SEC over the last couple weeks. Granted,
• 54:03
  Speaker 2: he's played Mississippi State and Auburn who haven't been able
• 54:05
  Speaker 2: to get pressure to him. He's phenomenal when he's clean.
• 54:08
  Speaker 2: But if Bama's able to cut it up a little bit,
• 54:11
  Speaker 2: like they have some good pass rushers as well, that's
• 54:13
  Speaker 2: where it becomes a game. So it's, I have no clue.
• 54:16
  Speaker 2: And I think I'm going Bama with the points. I
• 54:18
  Speaker 2: think I'm going Bama with the points. Give me one
• 54:21
  Speaker 2: unit right now because I feel like I need to
• 54:22
  Speaker 2: hear you guys tell me something. I gotta wait for
• 54:25
  Speaker 2: this rain to calm down a little bit. Three or
• 54:27
  Speaker 2: four minutes.
• 54:27
  Speaker 1: Hey, we're going to end up this episode to bring
• 54:29
  Speaker 1: you Cracker Barrel. We know a thing or two about pancakes.
• 54:33
  Speaker 1: We've spent generations perfecting the world's best pancakes made with buttermilk,
• 54:38
  Speaker 1: light and fluffy with signature crispy golden edges. And when
• 54:41
  Speaker 1: you know what it takes to make the best pancakes,
• 54:44
  Speaker 1: you know a great pancake when you see one, whether
• 54:47
  Speaker 1: it's served on a plate or delivered on a football field.
• 54:50
  Speaker 1: Offensive linemen have been delivering pancake blocks for decades, but
• 54:54
  Speaker 1: they've never gotten the official statistical recognition as Chief Pancake
• 54:58
  Speaker 1: Officer at Cracker Barrel. I'm working with offensive linemen across
• 55:02
  Speaker 1: the country to help define pancake blocks and champion its
• 55:05
  Speaker 1: place in the game. Great pancakes deserve credit, including the
• 55:09
  Speaker 1: ones happening between the sidelines. Whether it's the world's best
• 55:12
  Speaker 1: pancake or the best pancake blocks, we know a great
• 55:15
  Speaker 1: pancake deserves recognition. Fans can join the movement to make
• 55:20
  Speaker 1: the Pancake Block an official stat by signing the petition
• 55:23
  Speaker 1: at MakePancakeBlocksOfficial.com. Every pancake eaten will count towards the petition.
• 55:31
  Speaker 1: Visit your local Cracker Barrel pre- or post-game to join
• 55:35
  Speaker 1: the movement.
• 55:37
  Speaker 2: Pancakes. Pancakes. CPO approved. We're back. Rain's down a little bit.
• 55:43
  Speaker 2: You just broke down all the Alabama stuff. Not all
• 55:46
  Speaker 2: of it, but yeah.
• 55:46
  Speaker 1: You broke down how Alabama's getting healthier. But you also,
• 55:50
  Speaker 1: you sprinkled over the fact that Sam Leavitt has been
• 55:53
  Speaker 1: the best quarterback. Might have been the best quarterback. He
• 55:55
  Speaker 1: has been the best quarterback in the month this week, Joe.
• 55:58
  Speaker 2: He's had.
• 55:58
  Speaker 1: 12 touchdowns, two interceptions, and he has a 75% completion percentage.
• 56:03
  Speaker 1: That completion percentage is number one in college football. You
• 56:07
  Speaker 1: brought up LSU and their ability to get to the quarterback.
• 56:10
  Speaker 1: They're also number one in rush defense in the SEC.
• 56:13
  Speaker 1: So they're able to stop the run versus a team
• 56:15
  Speaker 1: who has struggled to run the football.
• 56:17
  Speaker 2: It's in Baton Rouge.
• 56:20
  Speaker 1: This has got LSU minus five and a half written
• 56:22
  Speaker 1: all over it. This has got chaos taking place. This
• 56:25
  Speaker 1: is five units.
• 56:27
  Speaker 2: Five units. On LSU.
• 56:30
  Speaker 1: Lane Kiffin, hey, if you need to start drinking earlier,
• 56:33
  Speaker 1: go to bed earlier on a Friday. He is sat
• 56:36
  Speaker 1: at a podium and he has said, this is what
• 56:39
  Speaker 1: we envisioned when we created this team, what this last
• 56:41
  Speaker 1: month has been for them. Regardless of the logos that
• 56:44
  Speaker 1: have taken place and all that, he's talking about teams
• 56:46
  Speaker 1: getting hot at the right time. This is a team
• 56:48
  Speaker 1: getting hot at the right time. This is a team
• 56:50
  Speaker 1: sitting at 14. We know that's putting them in a
• 56:53
  Speaker 1: position based on they have their entire schedule in front
• 56:55
  Speaker 1: of them. They're sitting there, and I want you to
• 56:56
  Speaker 1: remember week one when Lane Kiffin is talking about the
• 56:59
  Speaker 1: Clemson game, and there's that psychopath just rocking back and forth.
• 57:04
  Speaker 1: Guarantee that room's got 15 more guys rocking back and forth.
• 57:07
  Speaker 1: They're getting hot at the right time. Their defense is
• 57:10
  Speaker 1: playing elite-level football. They got guys that can rush the passer.
• 57:13
  Speaker 1: They're running the football incredibly well. Their offensive line is
• 57:16
  Speaker 1: playing much better as a unit. And Alabama has done
• 57:20
  Speaker 1: this while LSU has done that similar to the BYU-Utah game.
• 57:24
  Speaker 1: I love LSU in this scenario.
• 57:26
  Speaker 2: I love them. You're not concerned that DeBoer is 6-0
• 57:29
  Speaker 2: coming off buys? No.
• 57:31
  Speaker 4: You're not concerned. Sorry, he's 8-0 coming off buys. You're
• 57:34
  Speaker 4: not concerned Bama is 6-1 their last 7 in Death Valley?
• 57:36
  Speaker 2: Nope. This doesn't concern you?
• 57:37
  Speaker 1: 7-1 against a head coach that had a fake Southern accent.
• 57:42
  Speaker 2: Now they've got one in there who's 9-6 off a
• 57:44
  Speaker 2: buy week. So you're good now. I'm good now.
• 57:46
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 57:47
  Speaker 4: So I'm with you, actually. I'm going to lay the
• 57:48
  Speaker 4: points with LSU. Sometimes I have to probe. I have
• 57:50
  Speaker 4: to make sure you believe in your five unit.
• 57:52
  Speaker 2: I love that.
• 57:53
  Speaker 4: Because you swore off anything other than a four unit
• 57:55
  Speaker 4: for a long time. And then it was three is
• 57:56
  Speaker 4: the new four. Three is also the new one. And
• 57:59
  Speaker 4: now you threw all that in the blender. Now you're
• 58:00
  Speaker 4: back to bat in five units.
• 58:01
  Speaker 2: I'm as consistent as this college football season has been.
• 58:04
  Speaker 2: I love it.
• 58:04
  Speaker 4: Okay. The reason I'm not confident on this game, but
• 58:07
  Speaker 4: I will lay the points is. Like you, I cannot
• 58:10
  Speaker 4: shake the Neyland Stadium Alabama game out of my head. Also,
• 58:14
  Speaker 4: I cannot ignore that even when Bama was healthy, they've
• 58:17
  Speaker 4: not scored a touchdown on the opening drive all year.
• 58:19
  Speaker 4: They've only scored on the opening drive all year once.
• 58:22
  Speaker 4: And if they don't get off to a hot start here,
• 58:24
  Speaker 4: the mental creep starts to come in. That pass rush
• 58:28
  Speaker 4: starts to get after you. LSU probably grabs a lead.
• 58:31
  Speaker 4: And there you go, unable to run the ball, playing
• 58:33
  Speaker 4: from behind, bad game script again. So all that has
• 58:36
  Speaker 4: me scared enough to where My pick is LSU minus
• 58:39
  Speaker 4: five and a half. The reason I'm not going close
• 58:42
  Speaker 4: to the slap the table neighborhood. The reason I'm just
• 58:44
  Speaker 4: going to go two units on that is I do
• 58:47
  Speaker 4: remember what that team's capable of to Will's point before
• 58:51
  Speaker 4: they got banged up. I still remember what that offense
• 58:53
  Speaker 4: looked like when they were hanging 45 plus a game.
• 58:56
  Speaker 2: And I still know that's there. Like technically that's there also.
• 58:59
  Speaker 4: Even though LSU's played Trinidad Chambliss, they haven't faced a
• 59:02
  Speaker 4: quarterback that can weaponize his legs post-play breakdown like Keelan
• 59:06
  Speaker 4: Russell has been able to all year. So like that
• 59:09
  Speaker 4: pass rush, it should be able to get after Alabama
• 59:11
  Speaker 4: a little bit. That should happen. It could also be
• 59:14
  Speaker 4: broken plays that lead to the big plays for Alabama
• 59:17
  Speaker 4: that opens the game up a little bit. So I
• 59:19
  Speaker 4: don't discount that as a possibility, but The other wild
• 59:24
  Speaker 4: card is Bama's been really good at forcing turnovers and
• 59:27
  Speaker 4: really good at scoring defensively. And LSU's like 73rd in takeaways.
• 59:31
  Speaker 4: So there's that. And if you were to be able
• 59:33
  Speaker 4: to predict that, great. I can't predict that. So I
• 59:36
  Speaker 4: do know that I think LSU's getting hot. I do
• 59:39
  Speaker 4: know that I think they're healthy at the right time,
• 59:40
  Speaker 4: just like Alabama's healthy at the right time. Last time
• 59:43
  Speaker 4: I saw Bama go on the road, it was a disaster.
• 59:45
  Speaker 4: It's really that easy for me. If they prove me wrong,
• 59:47
  Speaker 4: they prove me wrong. But I'll lay the five and
• 59:48
  Speaker 4: a half for two units.
• 59:51
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Sam Leavitt re-enters his name in the Heisman race
• 59:53
  Speaker 2: after this week. Oh, really? Yeah. He entered the Heisman race.
• 59:57
  Speaker 2: He's entering his name back in the Heisman race. Well,
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 2: that's bold. Give me the over. Three units on the over.
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 1: Oh, man.
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 2: That's a good breakdown. That's a really good breakdown. Can
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 2: I tell you guys something?
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 1: Whether I'm at a tailgate on the couch watching Nebraska
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 1: or Michigan on a Saturday, Jack Daniels is a staple
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 1: in my game day roster. Go and expand your playbook
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 1: with the cinnamon cake of Jack Fire, the smooth taste
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 1: of Jack Honey, and a crisp, refreshing Jack Apple. And
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 1: the only Blackberry bursting with Jack. Personally, I'm a Jack
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 1: Honey guy. Got a little sweetness to me. I'm the
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 1: type of guy on game day that likes a little
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 1: Jack Honey in my system. No matter how you stack
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 1: your unit, there's a Jack for every football fan.
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 2: Let's get back to this episode. We got the Arians
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 2: game of the week right now. Winter's coming. Get you
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 2: a snowblower. All right. Dial it in. Snow will fall.
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 2: You'll be pissed off. Blow it away with the best
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 2: in the game. Arians. All right. Arians game of the week.
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 1: Miami versus Notre Dame in South Bend. Notre Dame, five
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 1: and a half point favorites. Total in this game is
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 1: 57 and a half. We've already talked about it. We've
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 1: already talked about how this is a must win. This
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 1: is a do or die situation. Notre Dame season.
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 2: Starts and ends today. with this game right here.
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 1: SMU didn't do many favors. Wisconsin hasn't done any favors.
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 1: I'm going to lean over to our Notre Dame bias, Wilcompton.
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 1: What do you got for us, kid? This right here,
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 1: this beautiful nectar you see in front of you, that's
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 1: called Lucy. Those things have a little side, a little
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 1: thing inside them that has a little bite and burst
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 1: that immediately gets them flavored. They also go up 12
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 1: milligrams in case you need to lock in a little
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 1: bit more. If I'm traveling around the country and I'm
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 1: doing podcasts day after day, show after show, getting in
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 1: Josh Pate's face about why Alabama is probably going to
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 1: lose this week, I need to lock in because that
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 1: guy comes correct.
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 2: Do me a favor.

  Speaker 1: Every customer's age verified. this product contains nicotine.
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 2: Nicotine is an addictive chemical. This is Notre Dame. When
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 2: you look into the weeds of this game, it's all
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 2: gonna come down to Notre Dame's ability to pressure with
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 2: four and five. Because Mensah against the Blitz, if you
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 2: just look up those numbers, he's 87%. But when you
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 2: can get pressure on this young man and get him
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 2: to move his feet, throw on the run, get him
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 2: just affected in the pocket, it drops to 50%. I've
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 2: talked about it for a few weeks now. I feel
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 2: like Miami's offensive line is leaky up front. And I
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 2: feel like Notre Dame has the talent to take advantage
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 2: of that and get pressure. Also, when you look at
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 2: the other side, every quarterback that is winning against Miami,
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 2: a power four quarterback, they have thrown for around 300 yards.
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 2: Clemson was able to throw for 295. And I just,
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 2: I got to believe that CJ Carr is going to
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 2: throw for 300 plus against this weak Miami secondary. So
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 2: for those two keys to the game, I like Notre
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 2: Dame to cover minus five and a half. And with
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 2: the extra juice, we've all known that both of these teams,
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 2: especially Notre Dame, has had this game circled for about
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 2: a year now because the head-to-head last year, all the
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 2: stuff Miami versus Notre Dame that took place. Now knowing
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 2: that they're ranked in the slot that they are in
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 2: the CFP rankings, there's just that extra juice, that extra edge.
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 2: They have to have this game. where Miami can afford
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 2: to drop this one. So I like Notre Dame at home,
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 2: night game, to cover minus five and a half. Well said.
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 1: Notre Dame, CJ Carr's current quarterback, Miami's defense is super
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 1: leaky on the back end. And you brought up a
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 1: great point of Notre Dame's had this game circled because
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 1: of what happened last year. But they've had their whole
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 1: season from last year circled as well about the disrespect
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 1: that's taken place and we're going to run it and
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 1: look how easy their schedule is. yet they still dropped
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 1: to BYU or Provo. So that is, as much as
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 1: you want to have a storyline of backs against the wall,
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 1: chip on the shoulder mentality, you had a chance to
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 1: prove it to not even be in the position of
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 1: a do or die situation in week 10, and you
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 1: lost that opportunity against BYU. And you got beaten in
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 1: a way where it was really one guy, Bear Bachmeier.
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 1: Miami has a lot of weapons on the opposite side
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 1: of the ball. You brought up Mensah. Malachi, Tony, was
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 1: it Barcade? Barcade, like, and then the running back. I
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 1: don't know why I'm forgetting his name.
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 2: Fletcher. Fletcher. They got a couple. Yeah, and Mark Fletcher.
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 2: He's awesome.
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 1: We got to meet him in the spring. Like, incredible person.
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 1: they have insanely talented skill position guys all over the field.
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 1: So I could see Miami keeping pace with them in
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 1: a lot of ways. I do agree with their offensive line.
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 2: Very leaky.
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 1: There's times you put on the film and you're watching
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 1: the left tackle on a different, uh, different pages, the
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 1: left guard and the left guard goes down, help center
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 1: tackle fans out. And the defensive end is just sitting
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 1: in the hole against UNC where you're like, you guys
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 1: just got to communicate that and you're not getting a TFL.
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 1: So there's like Leaky things that we said early in
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 1: the season, hey, this seems like an Achilles heel for them,
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 1: but Mario Cristobal, we should never doubt that they're off
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 1: its line, yet we sit here more than halfway through
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 1: the regular season, and the question mark still remains on
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 1: the offensive line and how they're not getting better. They're
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 1: playing a lot of young guys, they're filtering guys out.
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 1: Notre Dame, to me, the question mark on them has
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 1: been running the football. There's been times they've answered that question.
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 1: There's been times we go back to questioning them on that.
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 1: This is not a game for Notre Dame to even
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 1: have to run the ball. They have to be like
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 1: Arizona where they're opportunistic in the run game, where they're
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 1: just backing everybody out and 11 personnel just hand it
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 1: off once or twice. Because CJ Carr is one of
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 1: the best quarterbacks in the country. When I look at this,
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 1: I see this as a shootout taking place in South Bend.
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 1: All they have 57 and a half points.
• 1:05:41
  Speaker 2: And I love the idea of Notre Dame with the
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 2: home field advantage, them being a more complete team top
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 2: to bottom, not having the clear holes that Miami has
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 2: in the secondary, and CJ Carr dicing them up, having
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 2: that 300-plus yard game in the air and having multiple touchdowns.
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 2: But I can also see.
• 1:05:58
  Speaker 1: Miami easily keeping pace with them. So I'm going to
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 1: go over 57.5 here. I'll do four units on that.
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 2: I think there's going to be.
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 1: I mean, Miami on offense... is much better than BYU
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 1: on offense. And BYU is able to have a lot
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 1: of success. What happens when all those aliens are on
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 1: the field against a team we said was the best secondary,
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 1: one of the best defenses in college football? And then
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 1: we already know what CJ Carr can do and what
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 1: he's been able to do throughout the year.
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 2: So I'll take the over. You took Notre Dame. You
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 2: took total. You took over. Yes.
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 4: So I'm a believer we have not seen CJ Carr's best.
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 4: I think they also know They've got to put it
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 4: on his shoulders here. You cannot count on running the
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 4: ball overly effectively against Miami.
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 2: If you do, great. I don't think they will. I
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 2: think they'll run it good enough.
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 4: But the running back rotation you thought they'd have versus
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 4: the one that they're going with right now, radically different
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 4: from the first of the year.
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 2: So it is on CJ Carr's shoulders.
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 4: The thing about him taking a disproportionate load on his
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 4: shoulders is he's 3-3 in games where he throws it.
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 2: 30 plus times. He's 0-3 in one possession games. So
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 2: as much as I think he's got it in him
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 2: to be a big game quarterback, he hasn't won big games.
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 2: That's okay because God's giving you another one this week
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 2: to go win. Also, I feel like when we watch Miami,
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 2: first off, you've got the whole desperation on Notre Dame's side.
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 2: We got to win it. They want to win it.
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 4: 44 degrees at kickoff, if that means anything to you
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 4: with Miami. It means something to me because we've been
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 4: able to wear short sleeves all year. And so that's done.
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 2: That's heartbreak. What I love, though. Is it done? I
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 2: learned my lesson from Indiana.
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 3: Fair.
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 2: I did, too. I did, too.
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 4: Malachi Toney, probably the best player on the field in
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 4: this game. Leonard Moore is really good. Talk about him.
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 4: Leonard Moore faced Makai Lemon last year and gave up
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 4: two catches for 23 yards. I am not saying that
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 4: Makai Lemon is the equal to Malachi Toney. Toney is
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 4: a very, very good receiver. If Jeremiah Smith didn't exist,
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 4: then he would be the poster child for the sport
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 4: this year. But I do think Leonard Moore is the
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 4: closest you will come to being someone who can shadow
• 1:08:03
  Speaker 4: him and who can contest him all night. That just
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 4: means to me a lot of those other receivers that
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 4: are very much living in his shadow have the ability
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 4: to emerge. And if you remember when they got Toney,
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 4: or not when they got Toney, when they got Darian
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 4: Mintz out of the transfer portal. Very quietly, he came
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 4: with Cooper Barcait. Cooper Barcait was Duke's best receiver last year.
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 2: And Cooper Barcait's had a good year so far, but
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 2: he has not had a game where he has to
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 2: truly step up and go like seven catches for 190
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 2: in a touchdown. And this is probably the game where
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 2: he needs to do that. I just look at five
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 2: and a half points in a game where the total's
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 2: in the upper 50s. Total in the upper 50s means
• 1:08:41
  Speaker 2: back and forth higher scoring to me. Five and a
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 2: half points is a lot of points.
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 4: Even though that's a higher variance kind of outcome, the
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 4: higher the total goes, you're giving me five and a
• 1:08:48
  Speaker 4: half points in a game you think is going to
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 4: be a shootout. It's just too many. So, you know,
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 4: model thinks Notre Dame wins, but it thinks Notre Dame
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 4: wins very, very, very close. So any points that I'm
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 4: getting above a field goal, I'm taking, I'm taking Miami
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 4: plus five and a half two units two units two units.
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 2: Tell you what who is the receiver you compared to
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 2: Malachi Tony give me three we've moved on Yeah, game
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 2: ain't based on sympathy, dude. Two different wide receivers. They
• 1:09:15
  Speaker 2: are two different wide receivers. Malachi Toney, he's got that
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 2: fucking juice about him. Oh, he does. He's phenomenal. He's
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 2: about that action. When you want a guy on him,
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 2: it is Leonard Moore. No doubt. But the USC wide
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 2: receivers who we're talking about, right? Yep. The minute he
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 2: got up on the podium to combine, he was off
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 2: my chest. You know?
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 1: Malachi Toney ain't walking up on that. With the eye
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 1: and the, you know, playing a character. This dude's about
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 1: that action. And as little as he is, dude, he's
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 1: a physical little fucker. I'm a big, I just want
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 1: to say that. I'm a big Malachi Tony guy. Love
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 1: the points in this game. What does your little baby
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 1: model say about the points?
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 4: It says Notre Dame minus two and a half should
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 4: be the number. It says the line is inflated by three,
• 1:09:56
  Speaker 4: which is borderline unprecedented for a big game. But I
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 4: found out last night, the model and fan duel differ wildly.
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 4: on their respective opinions of Notre Dame. FanDuel's higher on
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 4: Notre Dame. And FanDuel, just a little FYI, it has
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 4: nothing to do with this game, way higher on Texas
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 4: than the model is. So we bank that for down
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 4: the road. So I'm going to take advantage of what
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 4: I think is maybe a little bit of an overinflated line.
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 4: We haven't even mentioned the Notre Dame injuries up front defensively.
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 4: Those are big injuries. And see, here's what I think
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 4: about Miami's offensive line. When you watch them, You said
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 4: they've been leaky, like they've been very inconsistent, they've been
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 4: vulnerable to tackle, but when you watch them just take
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 4: their personnel and their ability level, do they not strike
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 4: you as a group that still, if they ever put
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 4: it all together, could be a really high-level unit?
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they could, but right there you're betting on if
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 2: going into this game. That's correct, but games are played
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 2: in the future. And even defensive line, it's like they
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 2: have good pass rushers, but they don't have these game
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 2: wreckers like they did with Bain and Mesador last year
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 2: that took over that game when it was the one
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 2: score game earlier in the year when they played.
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 4: So think about this. This time last year, Miami's already
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 4: a two loss team. We're remembering Miami from the team
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 4: that went on a run to the national title.
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 4: They weren't that at this time last year. So I'm
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 4: asking myself, is Miami built to start peaking at the
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 4: right time again? Because you have to think in future tense.
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 4: You can't be thinking in past tense with a team
• 1:11:19
  Speaker 4: like that. Because they just showed you last year what
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 4: we are in September and October pales in comparison to
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 4: what we may be in November and December. And I'm
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 4: curious about Alabama getting healthy.
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 2: Do they do that? I'm curious about Miami. Already having
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 2: proof of concept from a year ago. Do they do
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 2: something like that here?
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 4: And so just the mere possibility that that happens, if
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 4: you're going to give me five and a half points
• 1:11:42
  Speaker 4: in that possibility, I'm okay taking that.
• 1:11:45
  Speaker 2: Bump it up, dude. I'm not doing it. I'm not
• 1:11:47
  Speaker 2: doing it. Go to four. I went two. You just
• 1:11:50
  Speaker 2: want me to skip three? Yeah. Why not? I'll tell
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 2: you why. Because I think Notre Dame is going to
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 2: win the game. Okay, but you said them close. I
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 2: just can't believe you still think peer pressure works on me. No, no, no.
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 2: I'm just saying, hey, we're having fun. It's just a show.
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 2: It's just a show. I'm bummed the line has went
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 2: up to five and a half because they were at
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 2: three and a half last week and I was telling
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 2: a couple of the boys, I was like, I think
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 2: I'm moving this line to six and a half and
• 1:12:13
  Speaker 2: I forgot to take it.
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 1: As big of a question mark in Miami's offensive line
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 1: has been, Notre Dame has been incredible. That's where it's
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 1: like CJ Carr at the edge. When they're running the football,
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 1: they're running backs. in protection are incredible. Like they put
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 1: their face in it and you can just, they're always
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 1: on the same page. There might always be the result
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 1: that they want, but their offensive line is, you never
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 1: think to yourself, Oh, this guy didn't know what he
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 1: was doing with Miami. You can look at multiple times
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 1: a game, like one or two guys like, Oh, he
• 1:12:43
  Speaker 1: has no idea where the rest of the offensive line
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 1: is going. That's something that by week 10 should be
• 1:12:47
  Speaker 1: fixed because spoiler about Miami's offense. It's not incredibly complex.
• 1:12:53
  Speaker 1: It's inside zone, it's a duo, it's very basic offensive
• 1:12:56
  Speaker 1: line techniques and things that they're just overlooking basic stuff
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 1: like when you put a shade on a tight five
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 1: and a will linebacker on the edge where the tackle's
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 1: fanning and the guard's going down and the end just
• 1:13:07
  Speaker 1: sits there. Notre Dame, I have seen maybe three plays
• 1:13:11
  Speaker 1: all season where someone messes up. Notre Dame's offensive line
• 1:13:17
  Speaker 1: is very impressive and maybe even more impressive than that.
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 1: Their running back room, the way they put their face
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 1: in blocks Like, CJ Carr, I think, is going to
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 1: have a lot of time.
• 1:13:26
  Speaker 2: A lot of time in this game. I think I
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 2: would probably lean Notre Dame. But five and a half
• 1:13:30
  Speaker 2: is a lot. It is. It is. And they were
• 1:13:34
  Speaker 2: ten and a half point favorites versus BYU. Mm-hmm. And
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 2: never controlled a bit of the game. Never.
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 4: Had to come from behind to even have a shot
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 4: at the end. It's not like they got backdoored or
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 4: anything like that. It's not like the Texas-Ohio State thing
• 1:13:47
  Speaker 4: where big lead all of a sudden.
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 2: What just happened? Right. It was not that at all.
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 1: It was like they kicked off and BYU controlled the
• 1:13:54
  Speaker 1: entire game for 59 minutes and 59 seconds.
• 1:13:57
  Speaker 2: This game makes me the most nervous of any game
• 1:13:58
  Speaker 2: on the board this week. Really? Yeah.
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 4: I'm not talking about nervous like for my pick. Just
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 4: nervous as in you know the stakes that are riding
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 4: on it. We're going to be there. So there's the
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 4: added bonus. But just like thinking about this is like
• 1:14:10
  Speaker 4: a chew your fingernails to the nub type of game.
• 1:14:13
  Speaker 4: Because this is better than playoffs to me. These regular
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 4: season games on campuses, Camp I, are better than playoffs
• 1:14:19
  Speaker 4: to me.
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 2: They're huge. You talk about those kind of games 30,
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 2: 40 years. Yeah. And this is probably the only game where,
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 2: like if Notre Dame does lose, you don't see a
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 2: world that get back in the playoff conversation. I really don't.
• 1:14:30
  Speaker 1: All these other games you're talking about, as much as
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 1: they mean something, you can find ways for, okay, Ole
• 1:14:36
  Speaker 1: Miss loses to Georgia.
• 1:14:37
  Speaker 2: Ole Miss can do X, Y, and Z to get in.
• 1:14:39
  Speaker 2: Same with Georgia. Same with LSU. Same with Bama. Tennessee.
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 3: Kentucky.
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 2: Kentucky. All those teams are like... They would just need
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 2: so many teams to just lose. You don't control your
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 2: destiny if you lose, but you can still look down
• 1:14:51
  Speaker 2: the hall and see a path to get there. With
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 2: Notre Dame... Deep, long hall with a very small light.
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 2: You'll have no win. Some of them, yeah. You'll have
• 1:14:59
  Speaker 2: no win. Alabama, no. Right? We had that conversation. Georgia, no.
• 1:15:03
  Speaker 2: Ole Miss, yes. LSU, yes. But the committee telling you
• 1:15:11
  Speaker 2: that their biggest value piece in the whole ranking system
• 1:15:15
  Speaker 2: is quality wins. That's it. It's not consistency. It's not
• 1:15:18
  Speaker 2: like the record, the win-loss column. It's none of that.
• 1:15:21
  Speaker 2: And Notre Dame would have zero. And no shot to
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 2: get one. Yeah. Right. Okay, what if– I don't even
• 1:15:26
  Speaker 2: know who SMU plays this week. Well, they just lost
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 2: to Syracuse.
• 1:15:31
  Speaker 1: They just lost to Syracuse, but let's say they get
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 1: a dominant win over whoever.
• 1:15:34
  Speaker 2: They still got Wake. SMU still got Wake. That would
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 2: be a fun game.
• 1:15:39
  Speaker 1: They play Virginia Tech. Isn't there five and a half
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 1: point favorites? Because I think I saw that.
• 1:15:43
  Speaker 2: I don't know that SMU's done losing.
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 1: I don't know either, but let's just say SMU blows
• 1:15:47
  Speaker 1: Virginia Tech out of the water.
• 1:15:48
  Speaker 2: Best case scenario, you get a fringe top 25 win.
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying. You get into a top 24,
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 1: top 25. Is that enough for Notre Dame to get
• 1:15:56
  Speaker 1: that signature win in the top 25?
• 1:15:57
  Speaker 2: Think about how insane that question is, by the way. Right? Right?
• 1:16:02
  Speaker 2: That's just crazy. A fringe top 25 win. To me,
• 1:16:07
  Speaker 2: this is it. This is the entire weekend for Notre Dame.
• 1:16:10
  Speaker 2: UCLA is the same position.
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 4: When you close your eyes and you think about Selection Sunday,
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 4: is Notre Dame in that picture? Because I still see
• 1:16:19
  Speaker 4: them in the picture. I just have a hard time
• 1:16:21
  Speaker 4: believing Notre Dame's eliminated on November 7th from playoff conversation.
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no, I see that. It's crazy to think about.
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 2: Because I see Notre Dame winning this game. Yeah. It's
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 2: all about chaos. It's all about chaos. Chaos is not
• 1:16:33
  Speaker 2: done at all. We feel good? Yeah. Oh, wait, we
• 1:16:37
  Speaker 2: got it. We got Super Slate. We got Dogs. We
• 1:16:39
  Speaker 2: got Parleys. Let me find this little Super Slate card.
• 1:16:44
  Speaker 2: I know where I'm going with Super Slate. UCLA-Minnesota is
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 2: my Super Slate game. UCLA, five and a half point favorites. Tulsa,
• 1:16:53
  Speaker 2: 39 and a half. Minnesota is a sneaky team. I mean,
• 1:16:56
  Speaker 2: they brought Indiana down to the wire. They obviously beat Michigan.
• 1:16:59
  Speaker 2: earlier in the season.
• 1:17:00
  Speaker 1: They've just been a team that kind of lingers around
• 1:17:02
  Speaker 1: other than the Mississippi State game. And I don't see
• 1:17:04
  Speaker 1: that really changing with UCLA having to travel out to Minnesota.
• 1:17:08
  Speaker 1: Flex got this fucking rain, man.
• 1:17:10
  Speaker 2: Oh, the rain! All right, this is going to last
• 1:17:15
  Speaker 2: for a second. Game, Minnesota! Plus five and a half! Yeah!
• 1:17:23
  Speaker 4: All right, Oregon's going to Ohio State this week. I
• 1:17:31
  Speaker 4: think Dylan Riola's got it in him to at least
• 1:17:34
  Speaker 4: get inside this number.
• 1:17:36
  Speaker 2: I think something weird could happen. Can you hear me? Yeah. Yeah.
• 1:17:41
  Speaker 2: Oregon's not out of the Big Ten championship picture.
• 1:17:44
  Speaker 4: And I think I'm the only person on the planet,
• 1:17:46
  Speaker 4: maybe even including Dan Lanning, who is aware of that.
• 1:17:49
  Speaker 2: I think Oregon's going to play him tough. I'll take
• 1:17:51
  Speaker 2: Oregon plus seven and a half. Do you think they
• 1:17:53
  Speaker 2: could actually beat Ohio State? No. Yes. Got it. Yep.
• 1:17:59
  Speaker 2: If they do, holy shit, right? No doubt. That'd be crazy.
• 1:18:02
  Speaker 2: Three losses for Ohio State.
• 1:18:04
  Speaker 1: Chaos.
• 1:18:05
  Speaker 2: Bye. See you later. Kitchen Evers. Yeah. Give me Missouri
• 1:18:09
  Speaker 2: plus two and a half hosting Texas this weekend. The
• 1:18:12
  Speaker 2: injuries that have taken place for Texas, one of the
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 2: most inconsistent football teams in the game right now. Give
• 1:18:17
  Speaker 2: me Missouri plus two and a half at home this weekend.
• 1:18:21

  Speaker 4: just have an itch on my face. That's the only
• 1:19:33
  Speaker 4: reason I'm covering my face right now. I'm not trying
