2:46
Speaker 1: with Jay Boy on his podcast. These two they're like
2:52
Speaker 1: brothers from another mother. To get them talking about college football,
2:56
Speaker 1: I feel like it's a gift signed, and I'm gonna
2:59
Speaker 1: ask one question. I were out in the next twenty minutes,
3:01
Speaker 1: you and I might not say a single word. I'm
3:03
Speaker 1: about it. I didn't. I'm about to take it all
3:05
Speaker 1: in because I do watch college football, but it's like
3:08
Speaker 1: out of the corner of my eye on Saturday, you
3:09
Speaker 1: know what I mean. I'm trying to work for Sunday,
3:12
Speaker 1: but I can'tnot watch college football. This season especially has
3:15
Speaker 1: just been insane. So I'm excited to hear what these
3:17
Speaker 1: guys gotta say about this upcoming slate. I was one
3:20
Speaker 1: of those guys who when I got out of college,
3:22
Speaker 1: you know, before all of you were born, except for
3:24
Speaker 1: except for Colin Um, every Saturday Sunday, all day college football,
3:29
Speaker 1: all day NFL football. And then when I had kids
3:32
Speaker 1: and I was covering the NFL for ESPN, I kind
3:36
Speaker 1: of had to drop one of them because I couldn't,
3:39
Speaker 1: in like good conscience, do nothing on the weekends with
3:45
Speaker 1: my wife and my kid and then kids. So I
3:47
Speaker 1: kind of dropped college football for about ten years, and
3:50
Speaker 1: because I had to do NFL. And then all of
3:51
Speaker 1: a sudden, my kids like we're grown up or like teenagers,
3:54
Speaker 1: and they just like didn't want to hang out anymore.
3:56
Speaker 1: And about three years ago, all of a sudden, at
3:59
Speaker 1: noon on Saturday, I got nothing to do, and I
4:02
Speaker 1: am locked and loaded on college football. It's been fantastic.
4:06
Speaker 1: Let's get to it. Enough of us talking, J boy,
4:10
Speaker 1: I'm gonna start with you heading into Thanksgiving week, not
4:15
Speaker 1: crunch time, as we head towards the final rankings for
4:18
Speaker 1: the college football playoffs, potential chass best bet on the
4:23
Speaker 1: college Football Board this week. You know, I did a
4:27
Speaker 1: lot of scanning. You know, it's in the submarine, put
4:30
Speaker 1: up the periscope, took a look around, got to lay
4:32
Speaker 1: a kind of what was going on. And there's one
4:34
Speaker 1: that I've been, I've been on, I've been you know,
4:36
Speaker 1: this is a matchup and I know, you know, Sunny
4:38
Speaker 1: Dikes to TCU is looking like it's a real thing.
4:40
Speaker 1: Right now from SMU. But I have not been a
4:43
Speaker 1: believer in Cincinnati, especially the way they've been playing over
4:45
Speaker 1: the last four to five weeks. I know Game Day
4:48
Speaker 1: went up there to watch them play the absolute, absolute
4:51
Speaker 1: juggernaut in Tulsa and they were able to squeak out
4:53
Speaker 1: of win there. And you know, a big seven point
4:55
Speaker 1: went over Navy and uh, you know it got a
4:57
Speaker 1: little close there with us F who covered the twenty
5:00
Speaker 1: three and a half. Shout out to the Bulls. I'm
5:01
Speaker 1: gonna go SMU. And you know this line fluctuated a
5:04
Speaker 1: little bit. I got it in the sharp on Vanduel
5:06
Speaker 1: plus twelve and a half, SMU. It got down to
5:09
Speaker 1: ten and a half last night. Checked it this morning.
5:11
Speaker 1: It's plus eleven and a half. Right now, give me
5:14
Speaker 1: s m U plus eleven and a half at Cincinnati.
5:17
Speaker 1: I think desmon Renter is gonna continue to turn the
5:19
Speaker 1: ball over a little bit. They don't look crisp. The
5:22
Speaker 1: biggest matchup is gonna be with those two NFL corners.
5:24
Speaker 1: They got one name's Kobe Bryant, so you know he's good. Uh.
5:27
Speaker 1: The other one that his nickname Saw. So it's a
5:29
Speaker 1: good situation out on the edges there for Luke Fickle,
5:31
Speaker 1: but I think Tanner Mordecai. I think the weapons at
5:34
Speaker 1: SMU has out wide. I think they're legitimate weapons, guys
5:37
Speaker 1: that could play at a very high level in Power five.
5:40
Speaker 1: And I think SMU I gotta feeling. I don't think
5:42
Speaker 1: you'd be crazy to sprinkle money a little money line
5:44
Speaker 1: on it, but I like SMU plus eleven and a half.
5:47
Speaker 1: If you're gonna lose, lose by ten, everybody wins. Colin,
5:50
Speaker 1: I know you want to jump in. You're already waving
5:52
Speaker 1: your hand just like you're in church on Sunday. And Uh,
5:56
Speaker 1: A couple of things I know about you. One, you
5:59
Speaker 1: were really really open for Desmond Ritter Heisman run too. Uh.
6:04
Speaker 1: You and Brett McMurphy on the Sources pod this week
6:06
Speaker 1: talked a lot about what since he needs to sneak
6:10
Speaker 1: into the playoff, can they overtake according to the committee,
6:14
Speaker 1: a potential one lost Wake Forest team, will they be
6:17
Speaker 1: able to overtake? Uh? An Oklahoma team? So uh react
6:22
Speaker 1: to Jay Boy and s m u uh and then
6:25
Speaker 1: give me your best bet. Well, Cincinnati is not going
6:28
Speaker 1: to make the playoff because a one lost Power of
6:30
Speaker 1: five conference champion is going to hop them. I don't
6:32
Speaker 1: care that ou stirt seeing. I don't care that Wake
6:34
Speaker 1: is ten. They're getting hopped and it's sort of like
6:37
Speaker 1: a consolation prize at your number five. Congratulations you're never
6:40
Speaker 1: going above this and shout out to ESPN Game Day.
6:43
Speaker 1: I would actually watch your show if you went to
6:45
Speaker 1: Montana and showed me, like, you know, the clouds hovering
6:48
Speaker 1: over the field for an FCS game instead of going
6:50
Speaker 1: to Cincinnati and like blowing smoke up my ass. So
6:53
Speaker 1: that's just the way that I thought that was a
6:55
Speaker 1: terrible decision and it just overhyped a team that doesn't
6:57
Speaker 1: deserve it because last year's Cincinnati team be an eight
7:00
Speaker 1: point favorite over this Cincinnati team according to Power Ratings.
7:03
Speaker 1: So I love the SMU play because when the air
7:06
Speaker 1: raid offense is clicking, they beat everybody, and SMU got
7:08
Speaker 1: back on track. They were out of sync for a
7:10
Speaker 1: couple of weeks. My best bet is going to be
7:13
Speaker 1: Kansas State. This is a great spot to get Baylor
7:15
Speaker 1: off of a win against Oklahoma. Baylor's covered just one
7:19
Speaker 1: game outside of Waco this year. The last time they
7:22
Speaker 1: were on the road is touchdown favorites. They lost to
7:25
Speaker 1: a TCU team that fired Gary Patterson uh and gave
7:28
Speaker 1: up five hundred yards. So I don't want to hear
7:30
Speaker 1: we beat Oklahoma where we should. I don't want to
7:32
Speaker 1: hear you just lost the TCU didn't have a coach.
7:35
Speaker 1: Kansas State's playing great run defense right now. That's the
7:38
Speaker 1: identity of Baylor's offense, and the Wildcats are just tremendous
7:41
Speaker 1: with the explosive play, which is where the Bears really
7:44
Speaker 1: fall down outside the top one hundred, stopping the explosive
7:46
Speaker 1: run and the explosive pass. Kansas State outright, Colin, Remember
7:51
Speaker 1: was it last year? Was it two years ago? Where
7:54
Speaker 1: s m U had the robot quarterback? So they were
7:57
Speaker 1: their receivers were getting extra practice. What was that again? Yes,
8:00
Speaker 1: the secret? So yeah, we found out in preseason play
8:04
Speaker 1: and I saw this machine that was rifling football's forty
8:08
Speaker 1: yards down the field with an apex of about nine
8:11
Speaker 1: yards off the ground. Right, And it's called the Seeker,
8:14
Speaker 1: the best kept secret in college football. SMU has the Seeker.
8:21
Speaker 1: They called me the Secret. And what happens is is
8:31
Speaker 1: instead of wearing out all of your quarterbacks, the Seeker
8:33
Speaker 1: can throw a ball every five seconds s, and you
8:37
Speaker 1: purchased this to get all of their wide receivers in
8:40
Speaker 1: sync and on time and running the right routes. And
8:43
Speaker 1: next thing you know, we found out that three or
8:45
Speaker 1: four of their programs had the seeker. Every team that
8:47
Speaker 1: has the seeker covered the spread leg they were like
8:51
Speaker 1: nine three spread on the season. Turns out that's where
8:54
Speaker 1: they got the Iron Dome technology. It's crazy coins, simmy,
9:00
Speaker 1: what's your question? Well, I also just want to touch
9:02
Speaker 1: with j boys side. I've been taking the money lines
9:05
Speaker 1: against since this last couple of weeks, and I keep
9:07
Speaker 1: getting burned by it. I'm gonna keep doing it. At
9:10
Speaker 1: this point, I can't not keep doing it. They keep
9:12
Speaker 1: getting these inflated lines against them because they're undefeated. I
9:15
Speaker 1: love that play on Cincinnati. I'm sitting here November. Who
9:19
Speaker 1: am I being on other than Georgia Obama to win
9:21
Speaker 1: the national title? And Fandel like, I'm looking at these
9:24
Speaker 1: lines right now. Everyone's ben Bama. Everyone's been Georgia. Is
9:27
Speaker 1: there another team? Is there something funky that whack HILLI
9:30
Speaker 1: happened this season which I don't know. Should I put
9:32
Speaker 1: money one of these teams or should I just played
9:34
Speaker 1: safe stick to Bama or Georgia to win it all. Colin,
9:38
Speaker 1: I'll take this one first, if you don't mind that.
9:39
Speaker 1: The way I'm looking at it is like this. I
9:42
Speaker 1: don't think Alabama is gonna make the playoffs. I don't
9:45
Speaker 1: think a two loss Alabama team is gonna make the playoff.
9:48
Speaker 1: I think the gap between Alabama and Georgia this year
9:51
Speaker 1: from a roster standpoint is about as big as it's been.
9:54
Speaker 1: But you have so many veteran guys on Georgia, especially
9:57
Speaker 1: on that defense. Uh you know, we know that the
10:00
Speaker 1: struggles at Alabama's had every now and then offensively, but
10:03
Speaker 1: they're they're not playing complimentary football. What Nick Saban does
10:06
Speaker 1: best with the special teams, the offense and the defense
10:08
Speaker 1: are all in sync. It's either the offense is hot
10:10
Speaker 1: and the defense is struggling ally A and M, or
10:12
Speaker 1: the defense is hot and the offense is struggling allay
10:15
Speaker 1: L s U. And they didn't come out and look
10:16
Speaker 1: like world beaters against New Mexico State, even though they
10:18
Speaker 1: hung on a win Fife shockingly. But if I'm gonna
10:21
Speaker 1: make a play on it, Georgia is the safe play.
10:23
Speaker 1: I think it's minus one. But if I was gonna
10:25
Speaker 1: make a play outside of Georgia, and I know you
10:27
Speaker 1: didn't just bring me on here to say that Georgia.
10:29
Speaker 1: I would take Ohio State plus three fifty because I
10:31
Speaker 1: think they have a chance to make the playoff, a
10:33
Speaker 1: better chance than Alabama does. You got a big one
10:35
Speaker 1: against melt Tucker in Michigan State plus nine team, so
10:38
Speaker 1: you gotta feel good about Ohio State, especially at home.
10:41
Speaker 1: C J. Stroud as a young guy, is getting better
10:43
Speaker 1: as the years goes on. He's learning from his mistakes.
10:46
Speaker 1: And I think Ohio State is the only team that
10:49
Speaker 1: has the speed to be able to threaten a Georgia
10:52
Speaker 1: or in Alabama. If something crazy were to happen in
10:54
Speaker 1: Bama were to win the SEC championship, then you have
10:57
Speaker 1: Georgia and Bama in in my opinion, but Ohio State
10:59
Speaker 1: plus three fifty you got a little bang bang for
11:02
Speaker 1: your buck. You need a little bang bang for the luck.
11:04
Speaker 1: But with Ohio State, we've seen it before. Card L.
11:06
Speaker 1: Jones put on the cape and put out the Harry
11:08
Speaker 1: Potter spell book for a couple of games there. Uh,
11:10
Speaker 1: you know, a handful of years ago. So we'll see
11:12
Speaker 1: how it goes. But if I'm gonna make up play
11:14
Speaker 1: outside of George our Obama. It'd be Ohio State Pups
11:17
Speaker 1: to be fifty for me, Bang Bang. By the way,
11:20
Speaker 1: it wouldn't be a favorite podcast if we didn't make
11:23
Speaker 1: an obscure song reference. I'll spare you both. No, I won't.
11:29
Speaker 1: Uh Jesse Jay prolific, prolific performer and songwriter, Simon, don't
11:43
Speaker 1: laugh at me, Colin, go ahead and answer the question.
11:45
Speaker 1: I got Bretman Murphy dropping Steely Dan and Poison on
11:48
Speaker 1: me on the Saturday Morning Showed. I slacked McMurphy. I
11:52
Speaker 1: slacked McMurphy after listening to the Sources pod, which is
11:56
Speaker 1: great and I loved it, and I I don't like dude
11:59
Speaker 1: Between Animal House Poison. I said, if you if you
12:02
Speaker 1: make a risky business Referenceeta, and he reminded me of
12:08
Speaker 1: Steely Dan. Yeah, you basically just hit the ancestry dot
12:11
Speaker 1: Com button by dropping I'm trying to get Ricky don't
12:15
Speaker 1: lose that number in our Saturday Live show. I'll work
12:18
Speaker 1: on it at some point. If you lived specifically and
12:21
Speaker 1: j Boy stealing my thunder here, I mean, he's absolutely
12:23
Speaker 1: on the mark. But if you live simply in a spreadsheet,
12:26
Speaker 1: you would want to put Georgia minus. Get some money
12:29
Speaker 1: down on that that has value up to minus one fifty.
12:32
Speaker 1: If you look at their list of teams they projected
12:35
Speaker 1: to play, and you take all the projected points spreads,
12:37
Speaker 1: and you take the projected lines, it's minus one fifty.
12:40
Speaker 1: So Georgia, you're gonna go into the National Championship game
12:44
Speaker 1: holding a minus one fifty ticket when they're spread is
12:46
Speaker 1: gonna be higher, and it's gonna dictate a higher money line.
12:48
Speaker 1: Absolutely minus is the play. And also, if you live
12:52
Speaker 1: in a spreadsheet, it's Oklahoma State plus. I'm sorry, let
12:56
Speaker 1: me say it's Oklahoma State fifty to one. Now, from
13:00
Speaker 1: a value perspective, think about this. They're favored by ten
13:03
Speaker 1: this weekend, they're gonna be short favorites in Bedlam, and
13:06
Speaker 1: then they're gonna play Oklahoma again and they're gonna be
13:09
Speaker 1: maybe plus one on a neutral field. So when you
13:12
Speaker 1: look at it from that perspective, and then you add
13:13
Speaker 1: in a potential game with Georgia in the semifinals, you
13:16
Speaker 1: still can't get to fifty to one. Now that's mathematics.
13:20
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna sit here and tell you that Oklahoma
13:22
Speaker 1: State's offense can beat Georgia's defense, They can't. There's only
13:26
Speaker 1: one offense in this nation that should keep Kirby smart
13:29
Speaker 1: up at night about his defense, and that's Ohio State.
13:32
Speaker 1: Georgia's biggest vulnerability is mid range, two deep passes in
13:37
Speaker 1: between the hashes against and it's his untested secondary. Tennessee
13:41
Speaker 1: had that figured out. The first two drives they had
13:43
Speaker 1: against them was just pay dirt. I mean they moved
13:45
Speaker 1: the ball, they look great. It was deep passing in
13:47
Speaker 1: between the hashes. Then some adjustments came by Kirby and
13:51
Speaker 1: they were able to shut the Bulls down, but they
13:52
Speaker 1: both still scored seventeen points. What Ohio State is doing
13:56
Speaker 1: right now offensively is going to give Georgia big problems.
14:04
Speaker 1: And now a few words from our friends at fandor.
14:07
Speaker 1: The NFL season is giving us a big Week eleven
14:10

Speaker 1: two guys who were leading the odds race right now
16:53
Speaker 1: Colin will start with you, Jay Boy, your next Simon,
16:57
Speaker 1: you can go last, you can bring it up. I
16:59
Speaker 1: know you bet on some thing because I always forget,
17:01
Speaker 1: like how much of a digen you really are when
17:03
Speaker 1: you talk about how you've been betting since in betting
17:06
Speaker 1: the opponent's money line against Cincinnati a year and like,
17:10
Speaker 1: I just forget you're betting everything Kansas money line against
17:13
Speaker 1: Texas on all the Simons X did you that the
17:18
Speaker 1: Kansas money line against Texas multiple times better first half?
17:22
Speaker 1: I'm all like, Kansas this year has one of me
17:24
Speaker 1: so much money? I think I had their first half
17:26
Speaker 1: got okahom two. Kansas has been good to me this year.
17:29
Speaker 1: You don't even know a single person playing for this
17:32
Speaker 1: That's how you hit on Kansas. That's that's how you
17:35
Speaker 1: hit on Kansas. It's like whenever we ask baby Cone
17:38
Speaker 1: comes eleven week old son what to pick, He's right,
17:41
Speaker 1: he's like eight and two. It's unbelievable. You can't even
17:43
Speaker 1: speak or know what's going on. You start a monkey
17:46
Speaker 1: on a pole and you get people like Simon automatically
17:49
Speaker 1: betting against Texas on the money line. College football is
17:52
Speaker 1: better than the NBA, so frustrating, so frustrating. Alright, Colin, Uh,
17:57
Speaker 1: you're out of it with with Desmond Ritter. So give
18:01
Speaker 1: me a c J. Troud, a c J Stroud, Bryce
18:04
Speaker 1: Young or field take. Yeah. Well, we we talked about
18:08
Speaker 1: it on the Sources podcast. I'll direct everybody there because
18:10
Speaker 1: we said c J. Stroud after Ohio State lost their
18:12
Speaker 1: game that his number at eighteen to one was ridiculous
18:15
Speaker 1: because c J. Stroud is not the reason that they
18:17
Speaker 1: lost that game. He's plus one fifty on the board.
18:20
Speaker 1: And we talked on Sources this week, Brett and I
18:22
Speaker 1: did Bretta Heisman voter that this is a two man race.
18:25
Speaker 1: Don't listen to the Matt Corral or the Kenneth Walker.
18:27
Speaker 1: This is a two man race between Bryce Young and
18:30
Speaker 1: Matt car and c J. Stroud and whoever wins in
18:33
Speaker 1: their championship game is gonna take this down. And if
18:35
Speaker 1: you look at it that way, because it's a team
18:37
Speaker 1: oriented award, then Ohio State's got the easier path. But
18:42
Speaker 1: there are reasons to back c J. Stroud here. Uh,
18:45
Speaker 1: if you look at Bryce Young and what's going on
18:46
Speaker 1: with that offensive line, he is being pressured. He doesn't
18:50
Speaker 1: throw down field, he checks down everything. He lets the
18:53
Speaker 1: explosive place start behind the line of scrimmage. As to
18:55
Speaker 1: where you look at c J. Stroud six team to
18:59
Speaker 1: one touch down to I N T ratio when he's
19:02
Speaker 1: been blitz this year. So I know Wisconsin is waiting
19:05
Speaker 1: in that Big Ten Championship game, and I know that
19:08
Speaker 1: they're gonna have pressure all over c. J. Stroud sixteen
19:11
Speaker 1: to one touchdown interception ratio on blitz downs. Stroud has
19:16
Speaker 1: put up the more impressive numbers. He's got the better
19:18
Speaker 1: offensive line. Jay boy, Well, you know what, I don't think,
19:23
Speaker 1: uh Colin's far off base there at all, especially what
19:26
Speaker 1: you know. We know Bryce Young's gonna see in Atlanta
19:28
Speaker 1: when they play against Georgia. But you know, kind of
19:30
Speaker 1: looking around the rest and and I'm looking for a
19:32
Speaker 1: more value by here, Uh Kenneth Walker plus four fifty.
19:36
Speaker 1: The reason is he's the whole team offensively, and he
19:38
Speaker 1: has opportunities left. I know it's kind of contradictory to
19:41
Speaker 1: pick Ohio State plus three fifty to win, you know,
19:43
Speaker 1: when the Natty outside of Georgia and Bama then pick
19:46
Speaker 1: Kenneth Walker plus four fifty to win the Heisman as
19:48
Speaker 1: they played each other this weekend. But if Michigan State
19:51
Speaker 1: does go often, we've seen Ohio State play up and down.
19:53
Speaker 1: This hasn't been a super unbelievably consistent Ohio State team
19:57
Speaker 1: that is now just burying everybody. They struggled a little
19:59
Speaker 1: bit with in state. We've seen there has been some
20:01
Speaker 1: holes in the defense. They switched to a lot of
20:03
Speaker 1: zone coverage, which helps you against the run. A lot
20:06
Speaker 1: of people don't realize that when you're in man and
20:08
Speaker 1: they break a level, a lot of guys have their
20:09
Speaker 1: backs turn. But when you're in zone, safety's nickels, even corners,
20:14
Speaker 1: depending on what you're running, are able to get to
20:15
Speaker 1: the ball carrier quicker. Their eyes are in a different spot,
20:18
Speaker 1: whether it's going Q to two uh from the safety position,
20:22
Speaker 1: r Q to one from the corner position. But you know,
20:24
Speaker 1: Kenneth Walker, to me, still has a chance to put
20:28
Speaker 1: together big opportunities because if they beat Ohio State, which
20:31
Speaker 1: I don't think they will, but if they do, Michigan
20:33
Speaker 1: State sitting pretty. They're sitting very pretty because we all
20:35
Speaker 1: know the other side, like Colin mentioned with Wisconsin and Minnesota,
20:39
Speaker 1: is not nearly as strong as what you have on
20:41
Speaker 1: the side with Michigan State, Penn State, Michigan in Ohio states.
20:45
Speaker 1: So Kenneth Walker plus four fifty. Uh. If I if
20:47
Speaker 1: I was gonna look outside of Bryce Young and C. J. Stroud,
20:50
Speaker 1: that's where I would go. Mel Tucker probably about to
20:52
Speaker 1: sign a buy out. Uh. So you know they'll be
20:54
Speaker 1: comfortable there. And you know, I just Kenneth Walker to me,
20:57
Speaker 1: and again it's such a weird and somewhat watered downfield,
20:59
Speaker 1: I'd switch. You know, we could talk about Jordan Davis more,
21:02
Speaker 1: maybe Will Anderson or something like that, but they don't
21:04
Speaker 1: want to give the heisman a defensive Guys, Simon, I
21:08
Speaker 1: can only imagine what your heisman rundown is. Let's get
21:12
Speaker 1: to it. I have none because I've lost all my
21:14
Speaker 1: hisman money bets every guy I bet it's either heard
21:17
Speaker 1: at this point or there's not even the starter anymore.
21:18
Speaker 1: Like the Oklahoma kid. My question here is my lovely
21:21
Speaker 1: assistant just probably a piece of paper. Every time I
21:25
Speaker 1: get to this point where I bet on Georgia, this
21:28
Speaker 1: is when they let you down. Boys. What are we
21:30
Speaker 1: doing here? We're walking right into the trap every time,
21:33
Speaker 1: I mean sharp trap. We got a sharp trap. Taking
21:35
Speaker 1: the way back to Stafford days. Every time Georgia has
21:38
Speaker 1: a good team, they'll have a good quarterback, they've got
21:40
Speaker 1: the coaching, they got the defense. They lose to Bama
21:44
Speaker 1: in this situation, or they'll lose to Clemson, some random
21:46
Speaker 1: other team. It always happens with Georgia. Is this really it?
21:49
Speaker 1: Like you guys are talking like this is it for Georgia?
21:51
Speaker 1: Are like, we have twenty years of history of Georgia
21:54
Speaker 1: choking and this exact position. Is this really finally the
21:57
Speaker 1: year they do it? Alabama not gonna be Georgia. I'll
22:01
Speaker 1: just go on record and say that it's not your
22:02
Speaker 1: life season in Alabama right now, everyone listening Alabama. Alabama's
22:06
Speaker 1: gonna take two losses and they're gonna need some help
22:08
Speaker 1: to get into playoff. I don't know if j Boy
22:10
Speaker 1: agrees with me, but that offensive line, because darry and
22:12
Speaker 1: Dall Court a center and Chris Owens at center have
22:15
Speaker 1: been two of the worst offensive linemen and pass blocking
22:18
Speaker 1: and run blocking, and you're gonna line them up at
22:21
Speaker 1: center against Jordan Davis, a guy that's the size of
22:23
Speaker 1: a house. They are not going to win the SEC Championship.
22:27
Speaker 1: I agree, and look, you know, I think you gotta
22:29
Speaker 1: take every team. And I'm not a huge trends guy.
22:32
Speaker 1: You know, every team to me is different. Circumstances are different,
22:35
Speaker 1: but they do they do have to get over the
22:36
Speaker 1: Bama hump. But again, this team is older. This isn't
22:39
Speaker 1: a young team. I mean even Stetson Bennett. You know,
22:41
Speaker 1: it's been at Georgia, you know, since A eight, so
22:44
Speaker 1: you know he's been there for Yeah, but you know what,
22:50
Speaker 1: the Braves already took care of the ju ju for him, Simon.
22:53
Speaker 1: They already won the series. They got it out, the
22:55
Speaker 1: Braves took the skeletons out of the closet, threw him
22:57
Speaker 1: in the road. But is it because I moved to it? Alanna?
23:00
Speaker 1: I don't know. Maybe a lot of people are saying
23:02
Speaker 1: a lot of things, but you know, at the end
23:03
Speaker 1: of the day, look, I do think Georgia to me
23:05
Speaker 1: is the most consistent team with the most elite roster.
23:08
Speaker 1: H And at the end of the day, you know,
23:09
Speaker 1: to quote John Mayer, you know, gravity, gravity, gravity, gravity
