11-5 H2: Schedule Roulette, Softy Joins, Fact or Fiction & Best CFB Team · Chuck in the Morning

• 0:07
  Speaker 1: Welcome back, Chuck, in the morning. Sports Radio 93.3 KJR FM.
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: Headlines are brought to you by Frost Brewed Coors Light.
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: As cold as the Rockies. Sam Donald, as mentioned earlier,
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: has been announced as out versus the Cardinals. He is
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: deemed weak to weak, but will not go on IR.
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: according to multiple reports. So Drew Locke will reportedly start
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: at quarterback, even though he's still coming off an injury himself.
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: This all will be against the Cardinals, who are also
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: starting a backup quarterback in Gardner Minshew. Kraken win versus
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: the Flames last night, 2-1 in overtime. Next up for them.
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: Saturday versus the Rangers before they head to Finland to
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: have a little home and home, not at home versus
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: the Carolina Hurricanes as part of the NHL's global series.
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: That should be a fun little trip for the Seattle Kraken.
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: They continue their. you know, relatively hot start to the season.
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: Jacoby Persett traded from the Cardinals to the Ravens to
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: seemingly start a QB for them for the rest of
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: this season. He will not start tonight against the Jacksonville Jaguars, though.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: Miami Hurricanes star wide receiver Malachi Toney will have surgery
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: on a high ankle sprain and soccer star Cristiano Ronaldo
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: retires from international duty with Portugal. Let's get into the
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: seven o'clock hour. As we ride into a 7 o'clock
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: hour here on Chuck in the Morning Sports Radio 93.3 KJRFM.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: Let's do a little schedule roulette for the Seattle Seahawks here.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: It has been announced that Sam Donald will not play
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: against the Arizona Cardinals. I do expect Drew Locke to
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: start even though he is coming off an injury of
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: his own. I'm going to operate on the assumption that...
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: He will start the next two games, Drew Locke, that is,
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: against the Cardinals and the Raiders before the bye, and
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: then the Seahawks face the 49ers. There's a lot of
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: moving parts here, Christopher, but I want to play a
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: little schedule roulette with you because I want to know
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: what you think it will take to get to the playoffs,
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: first of all, but then second of all, if there's
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: any shot with the division left with the 49ers.
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: I think the Rams are still there. They have the
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: same record as you guys, as us, I should say.
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: So they're definitely still in the conversation. But the goal
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: right now should be to catch San Francisco. You're two
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: and a half games back of them. They're six and one.
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: You're four and four at this point in time. So
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: you got the Cardinals Raiders by 49ers, Cowboys, Giants, Eagles, Rams, Panthers, Rams.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: I think that. Part of the schedule, you're just under
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: halfway through the season. Once you play this, halfway through
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: the Cardinals game will be exactly halfway through the season
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: at this point. So I'm curious where you think the
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: Seahawks schedule goes from here, Christopher. Let's start with Sunday
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: against the Cardinals. You think they win this game? Yeah, 5-4. Okay,
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: 5-4 with Drew Locke at quarterback. Let's say Drew Locke
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: continues to start. And they want to get Sam Donald
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: healthy with the bye week coming after the Raiders game.
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: 6-4.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: So another Drew Locke start versus the Raiders. You say
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: it's a win? Oh, yeah.
• 3:37
  Speaker 4: 6-4.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: In Vegas. Okay. So the Seahawks win the next two
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: games with Drew Locke as their starting quarterback. Go into
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: the bye at 6-4. They come out against the San
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: Francisco 49ers. What do you think happens there? That's a
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: tough one. But I'm going to say a win. So
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: that's seven and four now. Yeah, I do think this
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: is a very much Mike McDonald special here. If you
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: are able to get the two wins before the bye win,
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: then the two weeks leading up to the Niners game
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: will be everything the Seahawks would have hoped for. We
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: all know how Mike McDonald has a ton of success
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: with more time to prepare for. Four teams, whether that
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: is the Super Bowl, whether that is coming off bye weeks,
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: whether that is little mini bye weeks after the Thursday
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: night football game against the Denver Broncos. He had a
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: little extra time to prepare for the Chiefs. We all
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: know how that went. So I do think that is
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: a big opportunity for the Seahawks. So you go to
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: seven and four at that point. You've already played the
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: 49ers both times. You've won one and lost one. Cowboys,
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: December 7th.
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: JSN should have 200 yards receiving and the Seahawks will
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: be eight and four.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: Eight and four. Okay, so you think they're going a
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: little four-game heater here. This is funny because we kind
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: of played this game earlier in the season, and you
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: looked at the schedule, and it's like, man, yeah, they
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: should be cruising at this point.
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: You know what?
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: I might have to just be honest with myself. I
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: don't know if they're going to fix all their issues,
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: so give that Niners game a loss.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: Really? Even with the bye? Even with the bye, yeah. Okay.
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: I'm just going to be realistic because chances are the
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: offense won't just be much different November 29th.
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: See, I think it's actually more realistic that we win
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: the Niners game, but then lose one of the two
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: Cardinals-Raiders games. Because, like, that's just kind of what happens
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: in the NFL, right? That shouldn't happen. But it does.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: We lost the Super Bowl champs. We lost the commanders
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: this year. That was your one. That was your one.
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: That was your one you. Okay. That's what I would say.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: I'm not disagreeing, like, completely.
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: I just.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: I'm not going to argue that Broncos loss is kind
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: of like that. I know Broncos are a good team,
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: but exactly. But that, that would you say it's a
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: good team? It's an okay team. CX are a better team.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: That's fine. They weren't better that day. They were not.
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: And I do not see Cardinals or Raiders being better
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: that day.
• 5:57
  Speaker 4: All right.
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: All right.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: Fair enough. Fair enough. I will go back and you'll,
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: you'll get the loss to the Niners. So you go
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: into against San Francisco 49ers. Correct.
• 6:04
  Speaker 3: Dang.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: Which sucks. See, I think they win that game because it's,
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: I really think that because it's right after the bye,
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: that's a huge, like, Mike McDonald is very much.
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: Well, let's hope that the power line or whatever issues
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: with the 49ers continue.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: Substation. Substation, thank you. You know what I was referring to.
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: So my math would make that they'd be seven and five.
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: Seven and five after the Cowboys game. Giants at home,
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: December 13th. Eight and five. Eagles on the road. Nine
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: and five. Nine and five. Rams at home 10-5. Panthers
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: on the road.
• 6:37
  Speaker 5: 11-5.
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: Rams in LA.
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: 11-6.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: Okay, so you think they go 11-6 on the season.
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: I think that's fair. I think that's realistic. Yeah, and
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: I think that obviously gets you the buy, or not
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: the buy, the wild card.
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: Probably not going to catch you at the 49ers. Nope.
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: We'll see where the Rams are at that point. Probably
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: in the same boat. So you think the two wild
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: card teams will be in the NFC West again? Yes.
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: Have you seen the NFC North?
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: I have, but I mean, maybe... Well, that's tough then.
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: I guess it matters who you beat and who you
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: lost to, doesn't it? Ian also did this kind of
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: exercise on Monday. And it's worth pointing out, the NFC
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: North is going to beat up on each other, right?
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: The Bears are going to play the Vikings. The Vikings
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: are going to play the Packers, right? And one of
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: those two teams has to lose. It's not like all
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: of those teams are going to keep winning, right? They're
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: going to have a little cannibalistic nature to them.
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: You know what I mean?
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: So either.
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: One team just continues to win, or they all kind
• 7:39
  Speaker 1: of come back down to earth a little bit. You
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: think the Lions? Who's the best team in the NFC
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: North to you? The Lions? It's got to be the
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: Bears after what you saw. I can't wait to see
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: them play each other. Yeah, that's true. Lions did just
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: beat the Vikings, so... Yeah, I'm just saying. Those are
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: two good teams. Lions or Bears. I don't think it's
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: wrong to pick either one. See, to me, with the Seahawks' schedule...
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: I think every game that's not in the division the
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: rest of the year, you should win. The non-division games,
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: you have Cardinals, Raiders, Cowboys, Giants, Eagles, Panthers. Do any
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: of those teams, should you lose any of those games? No,
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: you should not. No, you should not. I agree with
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: you on that. Now, will you? It's another question. We'll
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: see what ends up happening. But even the current version
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: of the Seahawks, and this is me thinking, okay, this
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: is a different team than last year. It's a different
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: offensive coordinator. No Kenneth Walker. They're struggling a little bit.
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: Their defense maybe has taken a slight step back. But
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: you're still better than all those teams. Pretty significantly. It's
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: not even close. It's not like you're facing the NFC North,
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: as we just mentioned here. So, say you win all
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: those games. I think for the Seahawks fans to feel good.
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: For you to get in, you have to win one
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: of the three. Niners, Rams, Rams. To get in. I'm
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: not saying in order to feel good about where you're at,
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: but to get in, you have to win one of
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: those three. I think if you win two of those three,
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: you feel pretty good about where you're at going into
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: the postseason. And that win against the Niners after the
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: bye would be huge, I think, to kind of reset
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: your expectations. Like, okay, we're still a good football team here.
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: The Niners think they're going to run away with this thing.
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: They're not. They probably will still win the division. Don't
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: get me wrong. But them thinking they're miles ahead of
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: where the Seahawks are is just... It's not true. And
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: the Rams, those two Rams games... The Rams could be
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: out of it at that point. Who knows? Maybe they'll
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: figure out a way to get back. Similar to the Seahawks.
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: They're 4-4 as well. They get Myles Garrett back this weekend,
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: seems like. They could go on a run as well.
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: And those two games could be huge. Those two games
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: could decide... A wild card spot but I tend to
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: think as you said either the Rams will be out
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: of it at that point or they will already be
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: in it at that point they are either going to
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: fall off a cliff because of the expectation subversion or
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: they are going to kind of come back to be
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: the team that everyone expected them to be going into
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: this year. So to me, to get in, you need
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: to win one of those three. But I think to
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: feel good about where your team is at going into
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: the postseason, you need to win two of those three games.
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: If you win two of those three games and you
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: win the rest of those non-division games, then you are 12-5.
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: Which I think You know, it's a couple games worse
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: than you were last year. But considering where everything was
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: at the beginning of this year and where they are
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: now at 4-4, I would take that at this point.
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: I think that would be a successful season for the
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: Seattle Seahawks. What does Softie think? Maybe we'll ask him.
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: We'll play a little schedule roulette with him. We'll ask
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: him what the Huskies are going to do against Penn State.
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: I'm curious on his thoughts on the college football rankings.
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: Who's the best team in college football? We'll ask the
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: soft one next. Sports Radio 93.3 KJR FM.
• 11:25
  Speaker 4: Now back to check in the morning on your home
• 11:27
  Speaker 4: for the Kraken, Huskies, and the 12th man. Brought to
• 11:30
  Speaker 4: you by Tulalip Resort Casino. More of everything on Sports

• 11:38
  Speaker 1: Welcome back, Chuck. The Morning Sports Radio 93.3 KJR FM.
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: A couple more days of Chuck's vacation here, and then
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: you will actually get to hear a competent morning host
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: after he returns on Friday. What? What was that, Softy?
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: Pain, man. I can't handle it. This has been awful.
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: I know.
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: Sorry, are we on the air? Oh, yeah.
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: I apologize.
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: It's all good. You're not. Kid, dump it.
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: That thought process, I'm sure, is not a unique one.
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: I'll put it that way. I am.
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: I'm kidding.
• 12:11
  Speaker 5: You're doing a great job. I think all of us
• 12:13
  Speaker 5: agree on that. And I think we agree the less Chuck,
• 12:16
  Speaker 5: the better.
• 12:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: Let's just talk behind his back for 10 minutes. Why not?
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: Why the hell not?
• 12:21
  Speaker 5: Do you really want to talk about this Penn State
• 12:24
  Speaker 5: game on Saturday? Do you really want to talk Husky
• 12:26
  Speaker 5: football for 15 minutes? Or is it more fun to
• 12:28
  Speaker 5: talk about Chuck behind his back?
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: It is fun now until I have to face him
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: when he gets back here.
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: He won't know. You think he's going to go back
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: and listen? To the podcast? I don't know.
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: I honestly don't know. I haven't interacted with him enough
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: to be like, is he the type of guy that
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: listens to his own show when he's gone? Because I
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: know with Furness, he would literally not touch it when
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: he would be out, right?
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah. If he's like me, he's not hearing a damn thing.
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: If I'm out, I'm out. And I think he's kind
• 12:55
  Speaker 3: of more like me.
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you're probably right.
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: He's cranky, to be honest with you.
• 12:58
  Speaker 5: So I think it's time to talk behind his back
• 13:00
  Speaker 5: and just admit between us that nobody really likes him
• 13:03
  Speaker 5: at the radio station.
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: And he smells. He's lazy.
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean.
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: Mean to his coworkers. Yeah. Chuck's not even his real name.
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: What is his real name, then?
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: I can't tell you.
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: Really?
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: Come on.
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: You can't just.
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: You didn't know that?
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: I did not. No. Come on. You're a damn lie.
• 13:22
  Speaker 1: Are you serious?
• 13:23
  Speaker 3: See, this is going to get me in trouble now.
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: Now I'm getting nervous.
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: Everyone knows his name. Except for Anderson.
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: Everybody knows his name. Yeah. All right.
• 13:30
  Speaker 5: You think his parents woke up when they found out
• 13:32
  Speaker 5: they were pregnant and said, you know what?
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: When we have a baby, we're going to name it Chuck.
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: Who else says that?
• 13:40
  Speaker 5: Anders, when you and your wife knew that you were
• 13:42
  Speaker 5: having a baby, did you just sit down and say,
• 13:44
  Speaker 5: you know what, let's name our kid Chuck.
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's exactly what I said, actually. That's why I
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: named him Austin instead.
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: Exactly.
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: All right, let's get to some college football. College football
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: rankings came out. What are your thoughts?
• 13:55
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I'm convinced that the CFP committee is also a
• 13:59
  Speaker 5: marketing team for college football because what they did, there's
• 14:04
  Speaker 5: no other way to explain it. I think they got
• 14:06
  Speaker 5: into a room and they said, what can we do
• 14:08
  Speaker 5: to get every idiot on talk radio across the country
• 14:11
  Speaker 5: to talk about us.
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: All day long?
• 14:15
  Speaker 5: And that's what they did, right? We talked about it
• 14:17
  Speaker 5: with Petros. I'm sure you guys talked about it. Ian
• 14:20
  Speaker 5: talked about it yesterday with Stuart Mendel on his show
• 14:22
  Speaker 5: where every moron in this stupid-ass business across the country
• 14:26
  Speaker 5: was talking about it all freaking day long. And all
• 14:29
  Speaker 5: eyes on a Wednesday were on college football because of
• 14:33
  Speaker 5: those bozos.
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: I mean, it's genius, really.
• 14:36
  Speaker 5: I mean, if the goal is to market the sport
• 14:38
  Speaker 5: and to get people talking about it, then it's freaking genius.
• 14:41
  Speaker 2: I guess.
• 14:41
  Speaker 5: It's almost like It's like the WNBA woke up and said,
• 14:45
  Speaker 5: how can we find the most insufferable person that everybody
• 14:49
  Speaker 5: in the country can't stand? So all people do is
• 14:52
  Speaker 5: talk about the WNBA. Oh, let's go get Angel Reese.
• 14:56
  Speaker 5: And everybody's talking about the WNBA, whether good or bad.
• 14:59
  Speaker 5: So if the point is to get people to engage,
• 15:02
  Speaker 5: mission accomplished. I mean, look, obviously I agree with what
• 15:05
  Speaker 5: everybody else is saying. You know, the goal is to
• 15:08
  Speaker 5: give us the 12 teams if the playoff began today
• 15:10
  Speaker 5: that That would be in the tournament, right? I mean,
• 15:13
  Speaker 5: obviously it's not the top 12 because you got the
• 15:15
  Speaker 5: group of six and all that stuff, blah, blah, blah.
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: But that's the way it's supposed to be ranked. The
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: 12 best teams, the 25 best teams.
• 15:22
  Speaker 5: In college football, and then you slot in the spots
• 15:24
  Speaker 5: based on the rules from there. And to have Tennessee,
• 15:27
  Speaker 5: who spanked Alabama. Look, I mean, it's one thing to
• 15:31
  Speaker 5: have them behind Alabama, Anderson. By the way, is that
• 15:35
  Speaker 5: official now? Have we dumped Anders?
• 15:37
  Speaker 1: Are we doing Anderson now? The way I always say
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: it is I introduce myself as Anderson Hirsch, just because
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: it sounds more official. But then you can call me Anders.
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: It's fine.
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: His name is Anderson. His mama named him Anderson. I'm
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: going to call him Anderson.
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and your name is Christopher. Your mama named you Christopher.
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: You nailed it.
• 15:54
  Speaker 5: This is like the barbershop scene in Coming to America.
• 15:58
  Speaker 5: If mama call me Anderson, I'm going to call him Anderson.
• 16:00
  Speaker 1: You're goddamn right.
• 16:03
  Speaker 5: But, yeah, I mean, just to be that far behind, like,
• 16:06
  Speaker 5: that's the whole point. Hey, I mean, if they're behind them,
• 16:08
  Speaker 5: maybe you can argue, all right, the one game where
• 16:11
  Speaker 5: Alabama got spanked, but let's look at the rest of
• 16:14
  Speaker 5: the resume, blah, blah, blah.
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: All right, a spot behind, but.
• 16:18
  Speaker 5: Dude, they're seven spots, eight spots behind Alabama with the
• 16:23
  Speaker 5: exact same record, and they kicked their ass.
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: I don't know, man.
• 16:26
  Speaker 5: This whole thing, it's a joke. It's a joke how
• 16:29
  Speaker 5: much money they spend on this thing. Petro set the
• 16:32
  Speaker 5: nail on the head the other day. You're going to
• 16:34
  Speaker 5: a five-star hotel. You're renting out a banquet hall. You're
• 16:36
  Speaker 5: feeding them filet mignon and Grey Poupon the entire time
• 16:40
  Speaker 5: they're there.
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: All these luxury trips and items and stuff. It's just insane.
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: Absolutely insane.
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, there's just so many examples. The USC
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: literally just beat Ohio State, yet they're way behind them, right?
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: It makes no sense to me. So who is the
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: best team in college football?
• 16:57
  Speaker 5: I think it's Miami, but with Malachi Toney out, who knows, man?
• 17:00
  Speaker 5: I mean, that's a big one. I've liked Georgia the
• 17:03
  Speaker 5: entire year. You know, I think the college football, it's
• 17:07
  Speaker 5: funny how a lot of times in this city, the
• 17:10
  Speaker 5: Huskies and the Seahawks have the same problems at the
• 17:12
  Speaker 5: same time, right?
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 17:14
  Speaker 5: Neither team can run the ball right now, obviously. Both
• 17:16
  Speaker 5: teams have running issues. It is amazing that there's parity
• 17:20
  Speaker 5: all over football, period. And I haven't checked the latest
• 17:23
  Speaker 5: Kinko Conference standings here in Western Washington. But I don't
• 17:28
  Speaker 5: know about the parity in high school football, but I
• 17:30
  Speaker 5: know there's a boatload of parity in college football and
• 17:32
  Speaker 5: a boatload of parity in the NFL. It is unbelievable
• 17:36
  Speaker 5: how wide open this thing is, man. And if you
• 17:38
  Speaker 5: went back the last 5, 10, 15 years at this
• 17:41
  Speaker 5: time of the year and looked at the Super Bowl
• 17:43
  Speaker 5: favorite or the national title favorite, I wonder if the
• 17:47
  Speaker 5: gap between the top two or three teams or the
• 17:49
  Speaker 5: top team is And the rest of the field is
• 17:52
  Speaker 5: as small now as it's ever been in college football
• 17:55
  Speaker 5: and the NFL.
• 17:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah, especially when you combine both of them together. 100%. Yeah,
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: in the same year. Yeah, absolutely. So with that being said,
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: is there any thought that if UW runs the table
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: or even just gets one more lost that they could
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: be in the conversation here? What are we doing?
• 18:12
  Speaker 5: I will admit it that I have thought about it.
• 18:15
  Speaker 5: I think it's idiocy, but I'm an idiot. So it's
• 18:19
  Speaker 5: easy for me to think about things like that. I mean,
• 18:21
  Speaker 5: they would have to, first of all, they got to
• 18:22
  Speaker 5: win out.
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: Yeah, obviously.
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: Nine and three minimum.
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 18:26
  Speaker 5: And then you got to hope for a lot of
• 18:28
  Speaker 5: stuff to happen in front of you. But I mean,
• 18:30
  Speaker 5: they are so far beyond us even having that conversation
• 18:33
  Speaker 5: right now.
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: I mean, it's ridiculous.
• 18:35
  Speaker 4: Like.
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: Somebody's driving around going, all right, when the hell's Chuck
• 18:38
  Speaker 3: coming back? This guy's a moron. Talking about the Huskies
• 18:41
  Speaker 3: going to the playoff. They're 5-3. They're not even ranked
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: for crying out loud. Right, right.
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: All right?
• 18:45
  Speaker 5: I mean, how can we even talk about that until
• 18:47
  Speaker 5: they're stinking ranked?
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: You win the next two, I'll tell you what, I'll
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: make you a deal.
• 18:52
  Speaker 5: If they win the next two and they're 7-3, which
• 18:54
  Speaker 5: they should win both of these games, and then they somehow,
• 18:58
  Speaker 5: someway find a way to beat Indiana, they're probably going
• 19:02
  Speaker 5: to be ranked at that point. going into the final
• 19:05
  Speaker 5: week of the regular season at eight and three, then
• 19:08
  Speaker 5: let's check the rest of the standings and let's see
• 19:11
  Speaker 5: what happens.
• 19:12
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 19:12
  Speaker 5: I mean, Ohio state, when the initial college football playoff
• 19:15
  Speaker 5: rankings came out in 2000, was it 14?
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: Is that the year they first came out? Yes.
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: I believe they were.
• 19:21
  Speaker 5: Like right in the middle of the pack and they
• 19:23
  Speaker 5: ended up winning the national title that year.
• 19:26
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 19:26
  Speaker 5: So let's, let's get through Indiana and then we can,
• 19:30
  Speaker 5: we can, we can revisit this conversation is what we'll do.
• 19:32
  Speaker 5: We'll kick, We'll kick Chuck off the air. We'll tell
• 19:34
  Speaker 5: him to take a day off. And you and me
• 19:36
  Speaker 5: will just talk.
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: Let's do that.
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: I promise you I'll come back on Wednesday.
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: I'm down for that. So did DeMond Williams just get
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: his job back?
• 19:43
  Speaker 3: I don't know, man. It's 50-50.
• 19:45
  Speaker 5: Greg Lewis and Mario Bailey on the Honk Show the
• 19:47
  Speaker 5: other day both said they wanted Elijah Brown to start.
• 19:49
  Speaker 4: Really?
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: Penn State. Yeah.
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: That surprised me.
• 19:52
  Speaker 3: A little bit surprised.
• 19:53
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: I mean, we're talking about one drive, right? Yeah.
• 19:55
  Speaker 5: Last drive of the game where he had the scramble
• 19:57
  Speaker 5: on third and 15. He hits Lawson on third and four.
• 20:01
  Speaker 5: And the reason why I bring those up is because
• 20:03
  Speaker 5: Nebraska was the best third down team in the country.
• 20:06
  Speaker 5: He has the play on fourth and 18. He recognizes
• 20:09
  Speaker 5: the blitz on second and 10 against the touchdown. I mean, honestly,
• 20:12
  Speaker 5: I know it's a little sample size and I mean,
• 20:15
  Speaker 5: it's tiny, but that was the, when you consider the
• 20:19
  Speaker 5: opponent defense that they were going up against and That
• 20:23
  Speaker 5: was the best drive the Huskies have had all year.
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, especially the moment, too.
• 20:26
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 20:26
  Speaker 5: I mean, it's just not even close, right? I mean,
• 20:28
  Speaker 5: to convert on two third downs and a fourth down
• 20:31
  Speaker 5: against that defense in that stadium, which was bonkers.
• 20:34
  Speaker 3: By the way. Dude, I'm telling you, man, it was wild.
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: How was the trip?
• 20:36
  Speaker 3: That place was packed a half an hour before the game.
• 20:39
  Speaker 3: And I mean, every seat. And it is insane. how
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: crazy those people are.
• 20:45
  Speaker 5: Now they're getting pissed off because the team's losing and
• 20:47
  Speaker 5: the coach is whining about fans making fun of his
• 20:49
  Speaker 5: kids and they keep pissing away fourth quarter leads.
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: They're throwing crap on the field.
• 20:54
  Speaker 5: It wasn't like it was when I was there 30
• 20:55
  Speaker 5: years ago, but that was the most impressive drive that
• 20:58
  Speaker 5: Washington's had the entire year, and I think it should
• 21:01
  Speaker 5: mean something. I mean, the way the fans embraced DeMond
• 21:04
  Speaker 5: after the game, they were high-fiving him. He was actually smiling, Anderson,
• 21:08
  Speaker 5: for the first time.
• 21:10
  Speaker 3: He was actually enjoying himself.
• 21:12
  Speaker 5: So I would go with DeMond Williams in this game,
• 21:15
  Speaker 5: but I think this back-and-forth stuff, man. Look, if he's healthy...
• 21:20
  Speaker 5: I think he should play. I still think he's got
• 21:22
  Speaker 5: the most upside of the two. But him and Jed
• 21:25
  Speaker 5: just have got to get on the same page, man. Otherwise,
• 21:28
  Speaker 5: this thing's got to end when the year's over.
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we talked to Cam yesterday. He said there wasn't
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: even a question about who the starter was. Even when
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: Elijah was starting at quarterback, it was because DeMond was injured.
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: It was the reason that he came in, obviously. So
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: did a light just go on for DeMond? Watching Elijah Brown,
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: seeing what made him successful? What kind of happened there?
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 21:48
  Speaker 5: I mean, again, it's hard to say because we're talking
• 21:50
  Speaker 5: about one drive, right? If it was the entire second half,
• 21:53
  Speaker 5: I could probably go with that and say, all right.
• 21:55
  Speaker 5: Something changed there, but I do know that there was
• 21:58
  Speaker 5: a disconnect, whatever that meant or whatever, between Jed and DeMond,
• 22:02
  Speaker 5: and it just wasn't clicking and wasn't running the offense
• 22:05
  Speaker 5: the way it was meant to be run, and maybe
• 22:07
  Speaker 5: there is something going on there.
• 22:08
  Speaker 3: Maybe he did need to have a.
• 22:10
  Speaker 5: Couple games off or a week and a half off
• 22:12
  Speaker 5: and sit out during the bye and kind of get
• 22:14
  Speaker 5: his bearings about him and figure things out and reset
• 22:17
  Speaker 5: a little bit.
• 22:18
  Speaker 3: But the athleticism, I mean, there's no competition.
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 22:23
  Speaker 5: I mean, the athleticism between DeMond and Elijah, it's ridiculous.
• 22:28
  Speaker 3: It's not even close, man.
• 22:30
  Speaker 5: So I would go with DeMond Williams, but I do
• 22:33
  Speaker 5: think there's a lot at play here. I don't think
• 22:35
  Speaker 5: NIL has a lot to do with it, to be
• 22:37
  Speaker 5: totally honest with you. I do think that what they're
• 22:39
  Speaker 5: doing next year has a lot to do with it.
• 22:41
  Speaker 5: What their future looks like has a lot to do
• 22:43
  Speaker 5: with it. I mean, if DeMond Williams comes back, is
• 22:45
  Speaker 5: he going to have to take a pay cut? Does
• 22:47
  Speaker 5: he want to be here next year? If Elijah Brown
• 22:50
  Speaker 5: ends up getting replaced by DeMond Williams, does Elijah Brown
• 22:53
  Speaker 5: then say, well, I put enough stuff on tape where
• 22:55
  Speaker 5: maybe I can get some phone calls and people want
• 22:57
  Speaker 5: me to be their starting quarterback somewhere else next year?
• 23:00
  Speaker 5: You got Dash Byerly on the roster. They just lost
• 23:03
  Speaker 5: the kid yesterday, the four-star guy. The portal's obviously going
• 23:06
  Speaker 5: to be open. I think the bigger question is not
• 23:09
  Speaker 5: who should start Saturday. The bigger question overall for me
• 23:12
  Speaker 5: is who's going to be the starting quarterback in week
• 23:14
  Speaker 5: one next year when they play the Apple Cup.
• 23:16
  Speaker 3: That's the question.
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: So who are the dogs facing in Penn State? Like
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: you said, this should be a win, right? Yeah.
• 23:22
  Speaker 5: Really good defense. Not a very good offense. I mean,
• 23:25
  Speaker 5: number eight in total D again. Number three in pass defense.
• 23:27
  Speaker 5: Number five on third down.
• 23:29
  Speaker 3: Blah, blah, blah.
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: Seems like a familiar theme here.
• 23:31
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 23:31
  Speaker 5: I mean, they're not as good as Nebraska, but they're
• 23:34
  Speaker 5: still pretty damn good. I mean, their offense is 65th
• 23:37
  Speaker 5: in the country in scoring. They don't have a great
• 23:40
  Speaker 5: running game. So I just think it's another game like
• 23:42
  Speaker 5: you had last Saturday where the defense just leads the way.
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 23:46
  Speaker 5: It'll be a low-scoring game. I can see Washington pulling
• 23:48
  Speaker 5: it out and winning, honestly, like a 20-13 or 17-10
• 23:53
  Speaker 5: type game on Saturday afternoon. But, I mean, it's year
• 23:56
  Speaker 5: three for Jed Fish, and it's year one for Matt
• 23:58
  Speaker 5: Campbell at Penn State with a not very good offense.
• 24:02
  Speaker 5: I mean, you've got to win the game if you're
• 24:04
  Speaker 5: Jed Fish. If what we saw Saturday in Lincoln was
• 24:07
  Speaker 5: any indication of what this offense can do potentially against
• 24:10
  Speaker 5: a really good defense, then they should be able to win.
• 24:13
  Speaker 5: Penn State's flying three time zones over. Making the long
• 24:17
  Speaker 5: trip out here. There's going to be a buttload of
• 24:18
  Speaker 5: Penn State fans. I'll tell you that, man. They haven't
• 24:21
  Speaker 5: been here in 100 years, for crying out loud. Literally
• 24:23
  Speaker 5: nobody alive, at least that I know, has ever seen
• 24:27
  Speaker 5: Penn State play a football game at Husky Stadium.
• 24:29
  Speaker 4: Yep.
• 24:29
  Speaker 3: And the last time they were here, Husky Stadium was
• 24:31
  Speaker 3: two years old.
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: What was that, 1922, right?
• 24:33
  Speaker 3: 1921, I believe, was the last time they were here.
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's crazy. Man, it's cool that we're getting these
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: kind of situations back. But all right, what do we
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: got later on the show today?
• 24:44
  Speaker 3: We're going to be at the 520 Bar and Grill.
• 24:46
  Speaker 3: What do you got planned this afternoon, you free?
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: Sure, I'll come by. Why not?
• 24:50
  Speaker 3: Bring the kid, we'll stick him in the corner.
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: Sure, okay.
• 24:54
  Speaker 3: A little bottle of wine in his mouth. Exactly. I'm
• 24:55
  Speaker 3: going early.
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he'll be good. He'll be good.
• 24:57
  Speaker 3: We'll be at the 520.
• 24:57
  Speaker 5: Mike Holmgren's going to be there, and Peter King's going
• 25:00
  Speaker 5: to swing on by and jump on with us as well.
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: I'll have to ask him about his flag raising.
• 25:03
  Speaker 5: All right.
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: Thanks so much, Softy. We'll talk to you again soon.

  Speaker 1: texted FICTION, you get a point. Every time you get
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: a point, your name is... Put into a hat, one
• 26:28
  Speaker 1: winner is drawn every week to win $ 1, 000 thanks to
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: Lucky Eagle Resort and Casino. And then if you are
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: diligent enough or you're playing every single window or close
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: to it, the person with the most correct picks throughout
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: the entire season wins. We'll get $ 10, 000 as our grand
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: prize winner. Packers plus three and a half on the
• 26:55
  Speaker 1: road against the New England Patriots. Christopher Kidd, thoughts on
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: the pick? I like it. Yeah?
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: But I'm also scared of Drake. He's just one guy
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: that one game he stinks, the next game he throws
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: for 300 yards. So if there's one team.
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: Packers defense has been playing a lot better recently. And
• 27:13
  Speaker 1: I think Micah could be coming back. Micah's supposed to
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: be coming back. That offense has been super explosive. Yeah,
• 27:19
  Speaker 1: I think it's a good pick. I like the hook
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: as well, as they say. The hook with the extra
• 27:24
  Speaker 1: three and a half. So if they lose by a
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: field goal, I still get the fact there. Packers plus
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: three and a half on the road against the New
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: England Patriots. Last time I picked the Patriots. I was
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: pretty confident in them, and they totally bleeped the bed.
• 27:38
  Speaker 1: So I'm picking against them this time. I'm going with
• 27:41
  Speaker 1: my gut. The Packers are a good team. I've been
• 27:43
  Speaker 1: really impressed with what I've seen from them the last
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: couple weeks. In fact, now that I'm thinking about it,
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: the Packers played on Thursday Night Football last week, so
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: they've had an extra couple days to prepare for this
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: game as well. Love this. Packers plus three and a
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: half on the road against the New England Patriots. Tech's fact,
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: if you agree with Fiction, if you disagree, to 49451.
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: All right, let's come back. Let's have a discussion. We
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: just talked about it with Softie. Who is the best
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: team in college football? Let's discuss that next. Sports Radio
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: 93.3 KGRFM. Welcome back, Chuck, in the morning. Sports Radio
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: 93.3 KJRFM. Anderson Hurst, Christopher Kidd filling in for Chuck
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: as he gets back from vacation, hopefully tomorrow, so you
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: won't have to suffer through me any longer, but happy
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: to be filling in the seat, keeping it warm for Mr.
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: Chuck Powell until he returns. I posed the question at
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: the end of the last segment. We kind of talked
• 28:46
  Speaker 1: about it a little bit with Softie. He gave his thoughts,
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: but Who do you guys think is the best team
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: in college football? Send in your answer to 49451. We'll
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: get kind of a little bit of a poll going
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: on to see who you guys think is the best
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: team right now. If you were to have to crown
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: a national champion and believe me, they used to have
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: to do this or they chose the national champion just
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: by a committee at the end of the year. So, Christopher,
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: who would you pick as the best team in college
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: football right now? Miami. I think it's fair. Really? You
• 29:16
  Speaker 1: think they got the number one team correct?
• 29:18
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: I just do think, as we discussed yesterday, they missed
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: out on a couple of teams. UCLA not being in
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: the top five is kind of disrespectful. We can go
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: on and on, but I agree that Miami is the
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: best team. But to Softie's point, we'll see how they
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: do now without their best player, which is not going
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: to be easy, but this is a team that is well-versed.
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: They have a good defense.
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: A good offense, including Tony, obviously, but now you're missing him,
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: so how's that going to look?
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: Who's going to be your number one guy now? Who's
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: going to step up? That's going to be a big
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: question for Miami, I think, but supposedly he will be
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: back or should be back, I should say, for the–
• 30:00
  Speaker 1: if they end up getting there, which they should at
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: this point, even if they do end up not being
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: the number one overall team. I'm looking around. It's just,
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: to me, it's hard to give a true answer, to
• 30:09
  Speaker 1: be completely honest, because as Softie was talking about there
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: in the last segment, it just doesn't seem like there's
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: this dominating team that is just taking everyone by storm.
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: Everyone has at least one loss, one pretty, I don't
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: want to say bad loss, but just a blemish on their, record.
• 30:31
  Speaker 1: And the teams like Miami and UCLA, yes, they're 8-0.
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: You can look at Utah as well, but they haven't...
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: The best wins on those records are.
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: For Miami, it's Wake Forest. And at the time, they
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: weren't ranked, but now they are. And for UCLA, it's Oregon,
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: who at the time was ranked 13, but now has
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: dropped to 23rd. So... Even the ones that haven't lost
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: that don't technically have a quote unquote blemish on their
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: on their record. Utah, their best win is against Houston
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago.
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 31:10
  Speaker 1: Who's who is ranked that? So that would probably be
• 31:13
  Speaker 1: the best win out of all of those. I would
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: say make Wake Forest is ranked 16, Houston 17. So
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: it's right there.
• 31:19
  Speaker 3: But I don't know, man.
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: There's just no dominant team right now. Even Georgia has
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: a loss against Auburn, but they have beat both Alabama
• 31:26
  Speaker 1: and Florida, who was ranked at that time. So maybe
• 31:29
  Speaker 1: Georgia would be my answer for the best team in
• 31:32
  Speaker 1: college football right now because they have faced the heaviest tests. Indiana,
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: they're 1-0. opportunity to, to face a ranked team was
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: against Ohio state. And if Nick Marsh keeps his, puts
• 31:46
  Speaker 1: his feet down, they end up winning that game. And
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: they're probably the number one team right now, but it's
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: just not how it goes. Sometimes I do think in
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: today's college football, we will, we will learn a lot
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: from this Notre Dame, uh, Miami game on Saturday. That's
• 32:04
  Speaker 1: going to be a huge game. Cause I think if
• 32:06
  Speaker 1: Notre Dame ends up winning that game, they lost the
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: BYU game very closely and, two big games, the Notre
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: Dame Miami game. And then of course the Holy, the
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: Holy bowl between the Holy war, I should say between
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: BYU and Utah, those two games are absolutely massive in
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: determining where these two teams or where, who is the
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: best team in college football, because this is why like,
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: it's really hard to really judge right now with either
• 32:33
  Speaker 1: a team being undefeated and haven't played a ton of
• 32:36
  Speaker 1: teams or a ton of quality teams, I should say, or,
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: you know, you have one or two blemishes on your
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: record at this point. If you look at the AP,
• 32:47
  Speaker 1: the top three are the same, Miami, Georgia, Utah, but
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: Notre Dame's fourth instead of 11th in the AP top 25, right?
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: UCLA's fifth instead of eighth. There are some discrepancies there.
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: So I'm curious as to, you know, where you guys think,
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: who you guys think the best team in college football
• 33:04
  Speaker 1: is at this point in time. Seeing a couple of
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: Miami teams, picks here and this is it's going to
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: be obviously that someone's going to have to knock them
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: off their perch at this point in time but as
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: softy was mentioning earlier this is there's just a lot
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: of parody in both college and the NFL if I
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: were to extend the question Christopher to the NFL who
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: would you say the best team in the NFL is
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: right now oh man there's no undefeated teams no undefeated
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: team and like even the team that I think most
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: people would say would I would say the 49ers. Would
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: you agree with that? I'd say the Buffalo Bills.
• 33:48
  Speaker 3: The Bills?
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: Really? Everyone loves them some Josh Allen, don't they?
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: That defense is not good. It's not good, but when
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: you have Josh Allen, it just makes up for it.
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: For instance, the Seahawks would probably love to have Josh Allen,
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: but what are you giving up? You probably give up
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: the defense. You can't have best of both worlds. Usually,
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: you do get remarkable cases where You have a Patrick
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: Mahomes with also a really good defense. But it's not
• 34:14
  Speaker 2: as often as you'd make it. Josh Allen happens to
• 34:17
  Speaker 2: be in a situation where he would love to have
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: an elite defense.
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: And he would love to not have to do all
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: these things. But that's what makes him so exciting.
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: But beyond that, he's playing really good, and they're winning,
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: despite their defense that you mentioned.
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: Their defense is not very good.
• 34:31
  Speaker 3: It's not.
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: It's not.
• 34:32
  Speaker 2: Their defense is bad. We all are aware of that.
• 34:34
  Speaker 2: But they're somehow 6-1 because they've beaten the teams that
• 34:38
  Speaker 2: have been in front of them. Beaten them pretty well, too.
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: A bad Ravens team. If I'm not mistaken, they won
• 34:43
  Speaker 2: 30-10 or something like that.
• 34:45
  Speaker 4: 36-10, yeah.
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: There you go. So I got to give credit where
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: credit's due. San Francisco just had a loss. They're on
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: their bye. I would imagine they would be right there
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: at number two. I think that's a fair assessment.
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: And if you wanted to put Sanford number one, I'm
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: not even mad at you because their defense is far
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: better than Buffalo Bill's.
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think just more the balance side of things,
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: I'd put San Fran number one. And that's totally fine.
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: You'd probably put the Bears. Oh, okay, fine. The Bears
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: I'd put above Buffalo. Maybe that's recency bias, having watched
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: them completely dominate us. You'd put Denver, the Bears, all interchangeable. Denver?
• 35:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: I don't trust Bo Nix. You just said that Josh
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: Allen is like the complete equalizer. That's not the case
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: with Bo Nix.
• 35:23
  Speaker 2: Their defense is, though. And they just beat the Chiefs.
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: And their defense is okay. I don't know if Sertan's
• 35:28
  Speaker 2: back yet.
• 35:30
  Speaker 3: It's good.
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: Don't get me wrong. But I don't think it's enough
• 35:32
  Speaker 1: to really overcome where their offense has been. They beat
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: the Chiefs. If we're going to give the Seahawks props
• 35:41
  Speaker 1: for beating the Chiefs, we have to give the Broncos
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: props for beating the Chiefs.
• 35:44
  Speaker 2: I think they're all in that realm. I would say
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: the Niners and, dare I say, Buffalo Bills are like,
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: Just an edge better than those other two teams that
• 35:56
  Speaker 2: we've mentioned.
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: And the Bears and the Chiefs. And even the Broncos. Yeah. No,
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: I mean, I think that's... It's funny. I was like,
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: who did the Bills lose to? The team that I
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: just picked against. In fact, fiction. The New England Patriots.
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: How did that happen, right? They should be the one...
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: They could be.
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: The one team that's literally 7-0. But Drake May decided
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: to play the best football... this season against the Buffalo Bills.
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, it's because the defense sucks. You're not wrong.
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: And Josh Allen played arguably his worst game so far
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: this season. That's true. That's true. Even the Josh Allen
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: bad game, though, is a good game for a lot
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: of other people. Hell, in the playoffs, a bad game
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: almost won them. It's true. They almost won. They were
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: right there.
• 36:33
  Speaker 2: You know, he just had a couple of turnovers late
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: in the game that kind of sealed the deal for him.
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: I also think, like, to go along with my fact-fiction pick,
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: the Packers are right there. Like, they look a lot
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: better recently. That offense is extremely explosive right now. There
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: is questions regarding Josh Jacobs and that whole situation when
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: they can run the ball. It's just a completely different animal.
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: But they're going to get Micah Parsons back, similar to
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: the Rams getting Myles Garrett back. And Jordan Love looks
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: like he's playing on just another level right now than
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: we've seen him before. So that'll be an interesting matchup.
• 37:04
  Speaker 1: I'm glad I picked it, to be completely honest. All right,
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: we got it. The 12-man roundtable coming up next. Drew
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: Locke's in for Sam Darnold. We'll ask Greg how long
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: this is for. We'll ask Hugh what we can expect
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: from Drew Locke. All coming up next here on Sports
• 37:18
