[SPEAKER_05]: Thank you for your Susie for introducing Eric and Ryan, our college football guys.
0:50
[SPEAKER_05]: And here for the College Football Report.
0:53
[SPEAKER_05]: Guys, I'm really excited.
0:55
[SPEAKER_05]: Season two is officially underway.
0:58
[SPEAKER_05]: And tonight, the predictions count for real.
1:01
[SPEAKER_05]: We've already gone a couple of times.
1:05
[SPEAKER_05]: We've talked about the Big Ten.
1:06
[SPEAKER_05]: We've talked about the SEC.
1:07
[SPEAKER_05]: We've made some predictions.
1:09
[SPEAKER_05]: They were unofficial.
1:10
[SPEAKER_05]: Now we're going to pick all the major conferences.
1:13
[SPEAKER_05]: We're going to pick all the things.
1:15
[SPEAKER_05]: And I'm going to be writing it down and referring back to this throughout the year to
1:20
[SPEAKER_05]: uh, congratulate you as I would have done last year with Eric for sure, or make fun of you, which I'm really hoping is the case, which was up in the last year for sure with my Garrett and that's my her husband in Jackson Dart and Ole Miss, one of the national title, because they're Ole Miss as I kept saying all year.
1:36
[SPEAKER_05]: They might be the best team in the country, but they're Ole Miss.
1:39
[SPEAKER_05]: They're the IU of the SEC.
1:40
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, I'll see if I can be equally as bad this year, but I almost am guaranteed improvement.
1:48
[SPEAKER_05]: And here we go.
1:48
[SPEAKER_05]: We're going to start with the conference that we love the most.
1:51
[SPEAKER_05]: And that's the big tin Eric.
1:54
[SPEAKER_03]: He got to win the big tin sticking to my guns on this one slam dunk Penn State.
2:02
[SPEAKER_03]: Too much returning too much experience too much good quarterback play their defense is loaded.
2:09
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm taking Penn State.
2:10
[SPEAKER_03]: I've said it for a month.
2:13
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm not going to back down now.
2:15
[SPEAKER_04]: In the big ten I think Penn states obviously you can make a case for them, but to me it all goes back to Columbus Ohio and in the book.
2:25
[SPEAKER_04]: I got them one in the big ten Penn state would be second and don't count out Illinois in the third position.
2:33
[SPEAKER_03]: I had them, we're the third or fifth, I think.
2:38
[SPEAKER_05]: So you say they'll always apply off team because that's my next question, guys, and I'll ask Ryan first, who are the other big team playoff teams?
2:46
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, playoff, you're going to have to, you're going to have Penn State, you're going to have Ohio State, and then you can make arguments for Oregon, you can make argument for Michigan, argument for ill.
2:57
[SPEAKER_05]: We're making arguments, Ryan.
2:59
[SPEAKER_05]: We're here making predictions.
3:02
[SPEAKER_05]: Who will make the playoffs right in besides Ohio State and Penn State?
3:08
[SPEAKER_04]: That's going to be Oregon.
3:10
[SPEAKER_04]: You're going to get three big ten teams.
3:14
[SPEAKER_03]: A career in this career.
3:16
[SPEAKER_03]: I do agree.
3:17
[SPEAKER_03]: I had Illinois in that third spot.
3:21
[SPEAKER_03]: But when you look at the schedules, Illinois schedule, very favorable and Oregon only has one road game at Penn State.
3:29
[SPEAKER_03]: Then they have a home game against Indiana, probably the only two rankings you're going to play all year.
3:34
[SPEAKER_03]: So I'm going to begin to form.
3:36
[SPEAKER_03]: If the big thing got for, I put Illinois in there, I grabbed behind Oregon, but I'm going to go Penn State Ohio State Oregon.
3:42
[SPEAKER_03]: I know that sounds so easy to pick, but there are a lot of teams.
3:46
[SPEAKER_05]: In fact, I'm not picking for the record, but I'm taking Michigan to win a bit.
3:50
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, Eric's comment is why I have Oregon Nigel over playoff team over Illinois, just because of the schedule.
3:57
[SPEAKER_04]: I think Oregon can, you know, have a one or two loss record and still be that third big tin team and the playoff field.
4:04
[SPEAKER_05]: Plus Oregon is Oregon in Illinois.
4:07
[SPEAKER_05]: Exactly.
4:08
[SPEAKER_05]: Same with your Ole Miss predictions from last year.
4:10
[SPEAKER_05]: It's just what the fact to happen last year Eric with IU whose this year's surprise team, the IU of twenty six is a big ten in the big ten.
4:20
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't know.
4:21
[SPEAKER_03]: I gave us a little glimpse of it last year.
4:23
[SPEAKER_03]: I would have to say them.
4:25
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm not accepting it.
4:26
[SPEAKER_03]: I'll know everyone's picking them at top.
4:27
[SPEAKER_03]: Fifteen two.
4:29
[SPEAKER_03]: Man, it just drops off so far.
4:31
[SPEAKER_05]: Nebraska, perhaps.
4:33
[SPEAKER_05]: I will accept that Nebraska Ryan.
4:35
[SPEAKER_03]: That would be my next team.
4:37
[SPEAKER_05]: Who's your IU this year?
4:39
[SPEAKER_05]: Is there one?
4:42
[SPEAKER_05]: Could it be IU again?
4:46
[SPEAKER_05]: if they went on to feed it through the big dinner could, maybe.
4:48
[SPEAKER_04]: But that's the only way.
4:50
[SPEAKER_04]: If they were to do that two years in a row, I think that would have some value to it.
4:54
[SPEAKER_04]: But I hate to agree with Eric, but when you asked the question, the only team that came to mind was Nebraska.
5:01
[SPEAKER_04]: All right, Ryan, who's going to be the most disappointing team this year?
5:06
[SPEAKER_04]: It's kind of foreseeable, but I mentioned it the last time you podcasted on Big Tim Football with Eric, how far Michigan states fallen?
5:14
[SPEAKER_04]: That's a program that thought they had their higher two years ago, and it's just been a complete disaster, and they don't have a lot of money.
5:21
[SPEAKER_05]: What record would you say?
5:24
[SPEAKER_04]: You're probably looking at maybe three and nine.
5:26
[SPEAKER_04]: Wow.
5:28
[SPEAKER_04]: That would be good.
5:29
[SPEAKER_03]: That's probably coach time.
5:31
[SPEAKER_05]: Eric, do you have a disappointing thing?
5:33
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm going to go with USC again, not a believer.
5:37
[SPEAKER_03]: I mentioned, I did mention earlier on the previous podcast that I was going for USC, only based on the odds that they would not be bad four years in a row.
5:49
[SPEAKER_03]: I think there are seven and five team eight and four at best.
5:53
[SPEAKER_03]: That's not good enough at USC.
5:55
[SPEAKER_04]: It is not good enough.
5:56
[SPEAKER_04]: And if he does have a bad fourth season in a row, does he see a fifth out there?
6:01
[SPEAKER_04]: Probably.
6:02
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm talking, referring to Lincoln Riley.
6:04
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, that buy out is eighty million.
6:06
[SPEAKER_03]: So I think he's back.
6:08
[SPEAKER_05]: By the way, mine's Penn State.
6:10
[SPEAKER_05]: I don't think people realize quite how good the guys they lost are.
6:16
[SPEAKER_05]: And I think that they are going to finish outside of the top four in the big tin and outside of the playoffs.
6:24
[SPEAKER_05]: That's my prediction.
6:26
[SPEAKER_04]: That's a bold prediction.
6:27
[SPEAKER_04]: We'll see how that's over here.
6:33
[SPEAKER_05]: Ryan, you know our SEC guy who is going to be the SEC champion.
6:39
[SPEAKER_04]: SEC champion this year.
6:40
[SPEAKER_04]: It's going through Austin, Texas and it's going to be Texas longhorns.
6:44
[SPEAKER_04]: You can make a case for three other teams, possibly a fourth if you want to bring Georgia to the table.
6:49
[SPEAKER_04]: But I think Texas, they, they return so much defensively, they're good at quarterback, potentially great at quarterback.
6:57
[SPEAKER_04]: But you know, week one's going to
7:00
[SPEAKER_04]: could be a loss, but it's not a conference loss.
7:03
[SPEAKER_04]: So as long as I make it to the conference title game, you're still going to be in the playoff talks.
7:09
[SPEAKER_04]: And but overall, I think they're going to be the, uh, the luck to win the SEC.
7:15
[SPEAKER_03]: You're great.
7:16
[SPEAKER_03]: I do not.
7:17
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm going to take out a shoe.
7:19
[SPEAKER_03]: You're three for.
7:20
[SPEAKER_03]: You're three for Brian Kelly.
7:22
[SPEAKER_03]: I think LSU turns the corner.
7:24
[SPEAKER_03]: I love the quarterback play.
7:26
[SPEAKER_03]: They have, I think he's a difference maker.
7:29
[SPEAKER_03]: I have taxes right behind them.
7:32
[SPEAKER_03]: There's so many teams I could compete South Carolina.
7:35
[SPEAKER_03]: I like Florida because I like Blackway but if you look at that Florida schedule it is it's brutal and there's no way they survive that schedule.
7:45
[SPEAKER_05]: Answer the question now then who are the other teams who make the playoffs besides LSU?
7:50
[SPEAKER_03]: I've got Texas and I'm going to take Georgia.
7:54
[SPEAKER_03]: They've got Alabama and Texas at home.
7:58
[SPEAKER_03]: They're only real road game.
8:00
[SPEAKER_03]: Georgia has at Tennessee.
8:03
[SPEAKER_03]: They play Florida in the neutral field.
8:05
[SPEAKER_03]: Their schedule lines up for them.
8:07
[SPEAKER_03]: So I got Texas LSU Georgia.
8:09
[SPEAKER_05]: No Florida, no Alabama, Ryan.
8:11
[SPEAKER_05]: Do you agree?
8:13
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, I agree with that.
8:14
[SPEAKER_04]: I have LSU finish in a close second place.
8:16
[SPEAKER_04]: And I can make an argument that they could win the SEC just based on Garrett and us Myers play.
8:21
[SPEAKER_04]: And the fact that Coach Kelly put defense last season, even more so.
8:28
[SPEAKER_04]: in this offseason as, you know, the focus because offensively, that didn't cost him games last year.
8:34
[SPEAKER_04]: It was given up leads in the second half that that cost him games.
8:38
[SPEAKER_04]: So LSU second place, my third team is going to be South Carolina.
8:43
[SPEAKER_04]: I love their quarterback play.
8:45
[SPEAKER_04]: I love their receiving core.
8:47
[SPEAKER_04]: Their schedule is a little shady, but the whole SEC schedule is going to be that
8:52
[SPEAKER_04]: that way this year.
8:53
[SPEAKER_04]: It's just a loaded loaded conference and I think Florida's going to be your fourth place team just because of.
9:03
[SPEAKER_04]: No, but I tell you what, if, you know, DJ Lagway saved Billy Napier's job last year and he went with the transfer out of Wisconsin as a starting quarterback week one.
9:14
[SPEAKER_04]: By week three, he was already banged up with concussion.
9:18
[SPEAKER_04]: So he starts a lagway against the lawford, I believe it was.
9:23
[SPEAKER_04]: He goes six and one, they ended up making a huge run there at the end of the season, just based on this kid's place.
9:29
[SPEAKER_04]: And Billy Napier just has a strong hold on this program, Stu.
9:32
[SPEAKER_04]: I know he's probably got fifty percent of the fan base, but I think after this year, if he can survive that schedule, like Eric mentioned, I think Florida can get a top five top four finish in the SEC, but I don't think
9:47
[SPEAKER_04]: That's going to be good, not to be in the football playoff.
9:52
[SPEAKER_05]: All right, Ryan, who is your surprise in the SEC?
9:57
[SPEAKER_05]: Somebody got to say Auburn.
9:59
[SPEAKER_04]: Auburn, I'm not a huge fan of huge freeze, but I looked for Auburn what they did in the offseason too, to have a better season than they did last year.
10:08
[SPEAKER_05]: Here's the thing with that team.
10:13
[SPEAKER_04]: What some people don't realize with that team is they have a lot
10:17
[SPEAKER_04]: of underclassmen who are going to be a year older this year so both sides of the ball they're going to have good quarterback play against so I think Auburn could be your surprise team when I look at it on paper I have them finish in somewhere between eight and ten but could they finish fifth or six maybe could they get third or fourth that's a stretch but yeah I think Auburn could be that team that could surprise and people this year
10:43
[SPEAKER_03]: Eric, you're a surprise?
10:45
[SPEAKER_03]: I'll pick Vanderbilt just because what they're building on from last year.
10:51
[SPEAKER_03]: Big win over Alabama.
10:52
[SPEAKER_03]: They go bowling.
10:54
[SPEAKER_03]: Who would have thought Vanderbilt football would be in a bowl game?
10:57
[SPEAKER_03]: So you have a disappointing team, a team you expect to fail?
11:02
[SPEAKER_03]: As much as I've root for him, I have concerned with Alabama.
11:07
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, they're going to, I have a missing the playoff.
11:10
[SPEAKER_03]: Again, there should be two years in the row.
11:13
[SPEAKER_03]: That's not good for the fan base.
11:15
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, I really like that coach, but it's so hard to replay.
11:20
[SPEAKER_03]: How do you replace Nick Sabin?
11:22
[SPEAKER_03]: And that's, he's almost got an impossible job.
11:26
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm rooting for him.
11:27
[SPEAKER_03]: Bob Niter.
11:29
[SPEAKER_03]: It's hard, man.
11:30
[SPEAKER_04]: I don't see pro or UC program really fall back.
11:33
[SPEAKER_04]: You know, Vanderbilt just a comment on that real quick.
11:36
[SPEAKER_04]: It's a great story and it's a great team to get behind.
11:39
[SPEAKER_04]: But I don't think you're
11:40
[SPEAKER_04]: really going to discuss them as a playoff team or SEC contender for a long time.
11:45
[SPEAKER_04]: And I don't know what they did last year's a ceiling, but I really, really do like the head coach and the quarterback Diego Pavia, he's a spark plug.
11:56
[SPEAKER_04]: He will, he will, wills you to wins, but they, they still got a tough schedule.
12:02
[SPEAKER_04]: I think they go to Virginia Tech, the second game of the year.
12:07
[SPEAKER_04]: And then they're right out of the gate at South Carolina in game three.
12:10
[SPEAKER_04]: So you're looking at, you know, possible one and two start before, you know, just right as an SEC season gets underway.
12:17
[SPEAKER_04]: So that wouldn't be a good start to follow up season till last year.
12:23
[SPEAKER_05]: All right, Eric, we're going to move on to the ACC and we've talked almost nothing about any ACC teams in this preseason as we've done.
12:32
[SPEAKER_05]: a few podcasts by the way, go back and listen to those those were amazing, maybe the best podcasts ever made in the history of humanity.
12:40
[SPEAKER_05]: I'm not saying that for sure, I'm just saying it's a possibility.
12:42
[SPEAKER_05]: They were good.
12:43
[SPEAKER_05]: They were so good.
12:46
[SPEAKER_05]: Let's go to the ACC and Eric, who's your champion?
12:51
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, I'm going to
12:53
[SPEAKER_03]: put a lock on this one as well.
12:54
[SPEAKER_03]: No one's going to compete with Clemson in that conference.
12:57
[SPEAKER_03]: They run away with the ACC this year.
12:59
[SPEAKER_03]: They are just loaded.
13:01
[SPEAKER_03]: They've got five projected first-year-old draft picks on the defense and the quarterback club Nick, who we're going to mention talk about later.
13:11
[SPEAKER_03]: Man, they just loaded on D even TJ Parker, Peter Woods, Antonio Williams, the wife receiver.
13:18
[SPEAKER_03]: Too much talent, too much NFL talent.
13:21
[SPEAKER_03]: for any other team in that league.
13:24
[SPEAKER_03]: My amic can compete, but there's schedule, I think it's going to doom them.
13:29
[SPEAKER_03]: So I think Clemsham wins, DACC.
13:32
[SPEAKER_04]: You're gray right?
13:35
[SPEAKER_04]: I do agree with that.
13:36
[SPEAKER_04]: They got thirteen guys on defense coming back that at least all two hundred snaps or more.
13:41
[SPEAKER_04]: The offensive lines got four starting seniors returning and I haven't even mentioned the quarterback who's going to
13:48
[SPEAKER_04]: be lights out all season long and be the difference maker.
13:51
[SPEAKER_04]: And probably yet another week ACC.
13:55
[SPEAKER_04]: So yeah, I think clips and clips and runs through that schedule pretty good and they're going to be your ACC champs.
14:02
[SPEAKER_05]: Eric, who else will be a playoff team from the ACC?
14:06
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, I'm going to go with and this is going to be a little bit of a surprise to you guys, but I'm not taking Miami.
14:15
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm not taking that some new.
14:17
[SPEAKER_03]: I thought about Louisville for a minute, but my other playoff team and the ACC and they will get to.
14:24
[SPEAKER_03]: So you're going to have Clemson.
14:26
[SPEAKER_03]: You're going to have Georgia Tech.
14:30
[SPEAKER_05]: Wow.
14:30
[SPEAKER_05]: So they played well last year.
14:32
[SPEAKER_05]: Oh, then the playoff though, they're a surprise.
14:34
[SPEAKER_05]: It's a surprise.
14:34
[SPEAKER_05]: Definitely.
14:35
[SPEAKER_05]: Definitely.
14:36
[SPEAKER_03]: But they're saying it's going to be a surprise.
14:38
[SPEAKER_03]: But if you watch the way their quarterback hangs King played to finish out the year last year, he's going to be a six year player.
14:47
[SPEAKER_03]: You know, how I am about quarterback experience in years.
14:51
[SPEAKER_03]: I, I weigh that very highly because I could take you a long way, stone forever, six thousand yards.
14:57
[SPEAKER_03]: The kid in the last two years is seventy three percent completion.
15:01
[SPEAKER_03]: I mean, he's just efficient.
15:03
[SPEAKER_03]: seventy three touchdowns and over thirteen hundred yards rushing last two years as well.
15:08
[SPEAKER_03]: Kid complied.
15:09
[SPEAKER_03]: They took Georgia to eight over time last year.
15:11
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't know if you guys would call watching.
15:13
[SPEAKER_03]: It's right game.
15:15
[SPEAKER_03]: And then they win their bowl game.
15:16
[SPEAKER_03]: I think Georgia Tech is just sitting there ready to make a huge leap forward.
15:22
[SPEAKER_03]: Play off team.
15:23
[SPEAKER_05]: I like it, Eric.
15:24
[SPEAKER_05]: I'm going to take Louisville because I'm biased, Ryan.
15:29
[SPEAKER_04]: You've never been biased in your life, Greg.
15:31
[SPEAKER_04]: Why are you starting now?
15:32
[SPEAKER_04]: Never.
15:34
[SPEAKER_04]: My surprise team in the ACC is Florida State.
15:38
[SPEAKER_04]: And are they making the playoffs or?
15:41
[SPEAKER_04]: There'll be the second team from the ACC to make college football playoff.
15:46
[SPEAKER_05]: Yes, they've gotten bold here in the ACC.
15:48
[SPEAKER_05]: You guys pick the first six teams all the same in the playoffs and now we're starting to get a little creative and I love it.
15:55
[SPEAKER_05]: Who's going to be disappointing in the ACC Ryan?
15:59
[SPEAKER_04]: This appointment for me in the ACC is probably going to be Louisville.
16:04
[SPEAKER_04]: They decide too much turnover.
16:06
[SPEAKER_04]: They do.
16:07
[SPEAKER_04]: twenty eight thirty thirty two kids each year in and out of the transfer portal.
16:11
[SPEAKER_04]: They didn't really address their need which is defense so.
16:15
[SPEAKER_04]: I think they're going to be in some high scoring affairs like they were last year and end up on the losing side of it.
16:21
[SPEAKER_04]: It's a it's a cute pick from them to make a run in the ACC but I think they're going to be your disappointment team.
16:28
[SPEAKER_03]: Eric who's your disappointing team in the ACC.
16:32
[SPEAKER_03]: Sound like a broken record behind Louisville as well.
16:35
[SPEAKER_03]: I think their schedule and again, the defense like Ryan touched on.
16:38
[SPEAKER_03]: Jeff Brom's gonna do like, I do like their head coach, but that schedule is tough.
16:45
[SPEAKER_03]: So yeah, I'd have to say a little bit about.
16:47
[SPEAKER_03]: But at team, you're not hearing a lot about, and they were high off team last year's SMU.
16:52
[SPEAKER_03]: So many questions about this team.
16:56
[SPEAKER_03]: You got quarterback.
16:57
[SPEAKER_03]: You just mentioned Michael Vic and and Lamar Jackson, that Kevin Jennings played very similar.
17:04
[SPEAKER_03]: They just
17:05
[SPEAKER_05]: By the way, one question they will always answer is will they look awesome on Saturdays?
17:10
[SPEAKER_05]: And their uniforms are always awesome.
17:12
[SPEAKER_05]: Just every going back to Eric, get your sitting Craig James.
17:15
[SPEAKER_03]: So I think I put SMU like are they going to be a surprise team?
17:20
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, they are a playoff team last year.
17:22
[SPEAKER_03]: So it's not wouldn't be a surprise if they're back in the talk this year.
17:27
[SPEAKER_03]: Are they going to be disappointing?
17:28
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't know.
17:29
[SPEAKER_03]: They're just kind of one of those teams.
17:32
[SPEAKER_03]: I can't get a fill for what's going on there.
17:35
[SPEAKER_05]: I think they're going to make a playoffs.
17:37
[SPEAKER_05]: That's my guess.
17:38
[SPEAKER_05]: I think they're well coached and I think they're going to be a playoff team.
17:43
[SPEAKER_05]: Brian, let's go to the big twelve and you have been taking a look at that in the preseason and who do you believe is going to be the champion and the big twelve?
17:52
[SPEAKER_04]: Well, I've kind of offered a little bit.
17:53
[SPEAKER_04]: I was on the Arizona State wagon for a while, but the more research I do, I'm favorite Kansas State to win the big twelve.
18:03
[SPEAKER_04]: I just love David Johnson coming back at quarterback and what he did last year and their ESPN does some funky rating where average return of production and they had the fifteenth best rated return of production on their staff.
18:18
[SPEAKER_05]: So I think it was a Saturday.
18:22
[SPEAKER_04]: Yes.
18:23
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, Kansas State and Iowa State this Saturday is going to be a great way to start the college.
18:31
[SPEAKER_05]: We're going to talk about some games coming up.
18:32
[SPEAKER_05]: But first, Eric, you're a champion.
18:36
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm going to go with Arizona State, simply for the same level.
18:39
[SPEAKER_03]: In fact, I love that kind of quarterback playoff team last year.
18:44
[SPEAKER_03]: I've got Arizona State slightly ahead of case state.
18:48
[SPEAKER_03]: The case state's going to be solid.
18:51
[SPEAKER_03]: Think they're going to make playoffs.
18:52
[SPEAKER_03]: I do.
18:54
[SPEAKER_05]: Ryan, anybody else from the big crowd making the playoffs?
18:58
[SPEAKER_04]: I think Arizona State can still make the playoff finish in second in the big, big, twelve, like Eric mentioned with Sam Levitt at quarterback.
19:06
[SPEAKER_04]: He's got all the experience you need at quarterback, but the play I really like for that team's Jordan Tyson at wide receiver.
19:13
[SPEAKER_04]: And if you guys didn't know this, he was leading receiver for Colorado before Sanders showed up and Hunter showed up.
19:22
[SPEAKER_04]: He transferred two Arizona State, missed all of
19:27
[SPEAKER_04]: due to injury and then last year led the team and receiving.
19:31
[SPEAKER_04]: He was a big, twelve newcomer of the year and he had seventy five receptions over eleven hundred yards and ten touchdowns.
19:38
[SPEAKER_04]: And I think he had four games with two touchdowns.
19:40
[SPEAKER_04]: So he's a difference maker when you got a quarterback that I can get the ball time.
19:45
[SPEAKER_04]: Those two are going to have a really, really exciting season.
19:48
[SPEAKER_04]: So I still think Arizona State can find their way into that playoff.
19:52
[SPEAKER_05]: Anybody else have a chance to make it the playoffs or anybody have a surprise team.
19:57
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, so I think a surprise team for maybe the Texas Tech just based on what they're spending.
20:02
[SPEAKER_03]: And the NIO, they're making things happen.
20:05
[SPEAKER_03]: So Texas Tech is a team to watch.
20:07
[SPEAKER_03]: That would be my surprise team.
20:11
[SPEAKER_04]: Texas Tech, that's an interesting program right now because for at least ten years it's been air out football just tried to outscore your opponent.
20:21
[SPEAKER_04]: But they've spent so much money on NIO this year that
20:25
[SPEAKER_04]: their defenses actually stacked.
20:28
[SPEAKER_04]: So if if you got a defense along with what they're often typically as each year, that that could be a scary team and can make a case for a playoff team or even big twelve champion.
20:40
[SPEAKER_04]: But I think the front runners are keen to stay Arizona state.
20:45
[SPEAKER_05]: This is pointing team.
20:46
[SPEAKER_05]: By the way, the answer to that question is Colorado's going to be the most surprising team.
20:52
[SPEAKER_05]: Most disappointing team guys in the big twelve.
20:55
[SPEAKER_05]: You think it's gonna fall?
20:57
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, it's gonna be BYU.
21:01
[SPEAKER_03]: Why, why do we think so much?
21:03
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, I cry.
21:04
[SPEAKER_03]: I looked at Greg.
21:05
[SPEAKER_03]: I was like BYU.
21:05
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
21:08
[SPEAKER_04]: They're stud quarterback had to transfer and he pretty much did everything for that offense last year.
21:16
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm not sure where he ended up, but I mean, the circumstances for him having to transfer were
21:22
[SPEAKER_04]: I mean, it's against school policy, but that's a tough break for that kid.
21:26
[SPEAKER_04]: I don't know if you guys know the details, nor should we get into them on our podcast.
21:30
[SPEAKER_05]: No, we're never going to get into those details here.
21:32
[SPEAKER_04]: But, you know, that's a, that's a tough break for that program.
21:36
[SPEAKER_04]: So I think that's going to be an upsetting season for them.
21:40
[SPEAKER_04]: You can't lose a kid like that in mid August or mid July and, and hope to be ready by the end of August when the season starts.
21:50
[SPEAKER_05]: All right, both of you have Penn State, Ohio State Oregon, LSU, Texas, Georgia, Clemson, Arizona State, and Kansas State in the playoffs.
22:01
[SPEAKER_05]: Eric has Clemson and Georgia Tech.
22:04
[SPEAKER_05]: Ryan has Clemson and Florida State out of the ACC.
22:07
[SPEAKER_05]: So Eric, who were the other two teams that are going to make the playoffs?
22:10
[SPEAKER_05]: I assume Notre Dame is one of them.
22:11
[SPEAKER_03]: Notre, yeah, absolutely Notre Dame's going to be a playoff team.
22:15
[SPEAKER_03]: And then I've got Conference Champion.
22:20
[SPEAKER_03]: Boisey State, once again, coming out of the West.
22:25
[SPEAKER_03]: Although you and I, if you could make that interesting, as they did last year, but I think Boisey State's gonna have a better schedule, better, quite, if they could, they go to Notre Dame.
22:37
[SPEAKER_03]: If you could get a win on Notre Dame, it's come look good on the resume.
22:41
[SPEAKER_03]: You and I, V, is only gonna be able to beat Boisey State, baby.
22:45
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, that's a long emanation game, baby.
22:50
[SPEAKER_05]: Which could favor UNLV or someone like that.
22:53
[SPEAKER_04]: Ryan Notre Dame and Notre Dame and I'm going to say UNLV.
23:00
[SPEAKER_05]: Let's turn our attention on this college football prediction podcast with Eric and Ryan Robinson to the Heisman trophy.
23:09
[SPEAKER_05]: And if something happens weird and winkers right does not win the Heisman guys.
23:15
[SPEAKER_05]: Ryan, who is your number one favorite to be the Heisman and how close is it?
23:21
[SPEAKER_04]: Actually, I think it's going to be really close, but my favorite to win the Heisman this year is going to be the LSU quarterback Garrett Nassmire.
23:29
[SPEAKER_04]: He's my front runner.
23:31
[SPEAKER_04]: I think he's going to have a huge season.
23:33
[SPEAKER_04]: So yeah, I'd say he's my front runner, but I got three other players.
23:37
[SPEAKER_04]: I could make it interesting.
23:39
[SPEAKER_04]: Lord Norse sellers South Carolina, Archmany, Texas, and then Clemsons quarterback.
23:45
[SPEAKER_04]: Cade Club Nick.
23:48
[SPEAKER_03]: Eric, do you agree?
23:51
[SPEAKER_03]: Not so much.
23:52
[SPEAKER_03]: I have Cade Club Nick is my highsman winner.
23:55
[SPEAKER_03]: I've already bet it actually like six weeks ago.
23:58
[SPEAKER_03]: So you're pretty confident though.
24:00
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, I think Clemson's gonna just have a tremendous year.
24:05
[SPEAKER_03]: He's gonna put up huge numbers.
24:07
[SPEAKER_03]: But I do have an S my or second.
24:09
[SPEAKER_03]: That would be my second pick.
24:12
[SPEAKER_03]: Some of the guys we've mentioned tonight, but we haven't talked about prior on any of our episodes.
24:19
[SPEAKER_03]: You got archmaning, of course.
24:21
[SPEAKER_03]: We talked about him.
24:22
[SPEAKER_03]: Like I said before, if he goes into Columbus and throws puts up three hundred and he's suddenly the favorite.
24:28
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, he can really put some distance, but so can club Nick and that's my head to head and week one as well.
24:36
[SPEAKER_03]: One of those two are going to separate.
24:38
[SPEAKER_03]: Some of the quarterbacks we haven't mentioned before tonight,
24:41
[SPEAKER_03]: That could have big, big years.
24:42
[SPEAKER_03]: I got Sam Leather DJ Lagoe and Lenore Sellers that could really be surprised as a quarterback.
24:48
[SPEAKER_03]: Give me a doubt for.
24:50
[SPEAKER_03]: Club Nick Nassmire, Manning, Blackway.
24:56
[SPEAKER_04]: I had the same, but I got Sellers in there over Lagoe.
25:01
[SPEAKER_04]: Both of us mentioned quarterbacks for Heisman.
25:04
[SPEAKER_04]: That's right.
25:04
[SPEAKER_04]: That's who gets the Heisman.
25:08
[SPEAKER_04]: What about a non-corderback?
25:10
[SPEAKER_04]: front runner.
25:12
[SPEAKER_03]: But how to be Jeremiah Smith and Jeremiah love those are the two names right there.
25:17
[SPEAKER_04]: Jeremiah anybody anyone on defense Leonard Moore.
25:23
[SPEAKER_03]: Downs Caleb down would be probably my number one pick for a defensive player.
25:30
[SPEAKER_03]: You got the two kids at Clemson on that line that are going to be a problem for everyone.
25:37
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, but I'd have to be here my Smith would have to be number one.
25:41
[SPEAKER_03]: By the way, Ohio State name, there's starting quarterback.
25:43
[SPEAKER_03]: Did you guys see that?
25:45
[SPEAKER_03]: Did not.
25:46
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm just saying, saying, got it.
25:48
[SPEAKER_03]: So they've transferred from Alabama.
25:50
[SPEAKER_03]: Yeah.
25:51
[SPEAKER_03]: So he, of course, told me that this weekend.
25:53
[SPEAKER_03]: Maybe throw his name in there as a surprise.
25:55
[SPEAKER_03]: Heisman.
25:57
[SPEAKER_05]: Starting next week with the college football report, we're going to be making picks every week.
26:03
[SPEAKER_05]: When we do our previews, I'm going to pick Eric and Ryan against the local media to see how they do picking games.
26:10
[SPEAKER_05]: And we have some really good ones coming up.
26:13
[SPEAKER_05]: First of all, we mentioned Kansas State and Iowa State coming up this Saturday.
26:17
[SPEAKER_05]: And then
26:19
[SPEAKER_05]: Thursday the twenty-eighths Nebraska and Cincinnati Friday the twenty ninth Georgia Tech and Colorado Rado Co National Champions in nineteen ninety by the way Auburn and Baylor on the thirty as long along with the games that you mentioned that were the top games of the weekend Texas Oklahoma LSU includes it and of course Notre Dame Miami
26:40
[SPEAKER_05]: Alabama, Florida State.
26:41
[SPEAKER_05]: That could be someone's at Florida State.
26:43
[SPEAKER_05]: That was Ryan.
26:44
[SPEAKER_05]: So that could be a really good one as well.
26:46
[SPEAKER_03]: So let's put another, let's put a side note.
26:50
[SPEAKER_03]: Greg mentioned a week ago that IU and Old Dominion would be a sellout when I said there's no way.
26:57
[SPEAKER_05]: It'll be a sellout.
26:58
[SPEAKER_03]: No way.
26:59
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm saying no way.
27:00
[SPEAKER_05]: What do you think Ryan?
27:05
[SPEAKER_04]: I hardly think that's going to be a sellout.
27:08
[SPEAKER_04]: What's my moral stay in hold?
27:11
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, fifty eight thousand's not shown up for Old Dominion.
27:18
[SPEAKER_05]: I think you've answered excited.
27:20
[SPEAKER_05]: I disagree.
27:21
[SPEAKER_05]: All right.
27:21
[SPEAKER_05]: How about eight and a half win for you?
27:23
[SPEAKER_05]: You have to be over under.
27:26
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm taking me under.
27:28
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm taking the over.
27:30
[SPEAKER_04]: They only had to go five and four in the big ten to be over eight and a half.
27:34
[SPEAKER_05]: I think they go four and a half.
27:36
[SPEAKER_05]: I think it's just a really tough one.
27:39
[SPEAKER_05]: Purdue over under two and a half.
27:43
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm taking the over.
27:46
[SPEAKER_04]: I think they're right at three.
27:47
[SPEAKER_05]: I think they're one of four games is here, yes.
27:50
[SPEAKER_05]: It's another day we all agree to get the double figure wins.
27:54
[SPEAKER_05]: Eleven and one, ten and two, it works.
27:57
[SPEAKER_03]: And I think it would be too.
28:01
[SPEAKER_03]: Well, Texas A&M Miami could have be all in due.
28:07
[SPEAKER_02]: I hope not.
28:09
[SPEAKER_01]: I think they get by Miami.
28:10
[SPEAKER_02]: I'm worried about the A&M game and I'm also worried about I mean this happens every twelve or fifteen years at Boston College just ruin this in its season.
28:35
[SPEAKER_04]: You have to admit, Notre Dame always has an ugly loss, even with the best teams.
28:40
[SPEAKER_04]: So you can't pick Miami and A&M to both of those games.
28:47
[SPEAKER_04]: You've got to throw someone in there that you look at it on paper, say there's no way they lose that game.
28:52
[SPEAKER_04]: And that's what I see when I look at Boston College.
28:56
[SPEAKER_05]: That's what I see right, Arkansas, Arkansas is going to be.
29:00
[SPEAKER_05]: two and four going into that game and that would really concern me if I was another day.
29:06
[SPEAKER_05]: That's the time of the team that beat you.
29:08
[SPEAKER_05]: I wouldn't feel the same way about Kentucky Missouri Vanderbilt.
29:13
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, no matter who it was, my SEC is.
29:16
[SPEAKER_05]: It's gonna be tough.
29:17
[SPEAKER_05]: Guys, I need to get out of here.
29:18
[SPEAKER_05]: Thank you so much.
29:20
[SPEAKER_05]: Appreciate your time.
29:21
[SPEAKER_05]: It's gonna be fun doing this this year.
29:30
[SPEAKER_05]: This central Indian Escort Report is a product of ITG media, and I love Susie.
