Episode 118: BEST WEEKEND OF CFB SO FAR! Notre Dame vs BYU, Indiana Vs Ohio State + MORE! · You Don't Know Ball Podcast

• Isaac Rowe: What's going on? You don't know Ball Podcast Nation and another electric weekend of pro and college football in the books. But nothing has been better than this upcoming weekend, to this point. So What we have a handful of games that we're gonna get into pretty quickly. It's gonna be a a a decent decently paced episode. But let's let's head on over to Caleb's corner and see see how we did in the the pick ems this week because I'm not really not sure how we did. I mean a pretty I I think all things considered, De I I would say a decent week for everybody. No one did bad. No one did particularly too good. Like Isaac told me beforehand. Alex and I got the jump this week, both going four and three. So congrats to us. I know you needed that. I needed that bad. I'm my mainly I'm I'm proud of us for picking Oklahoma to to cover the spread. So that was that was pretty cool to see. The Red River. Yeah, that was pretty cool to see them win. Isaac with a confusing Kansas State pick, you know, but you could say the same for me with N C State or Penn State. Kansas State was undefeated at home, man. I don't know. I was And then I d I just I was it's just funny to me because Houston Houston knocked the balls off so it was like thirty seven ten. Yeah. It wasn't even close. No bo. come on, Avery Johnson. And yeah, I don't know why I I picked Michigan State to Did you see what Pat Fitzgerald did? Yes. Yeah, that was they they messed up the call. It was they did a they executed a perfect onside kick. yeah. And they called the kid out of bounds when he caught it, but he was clearly inbounds. So they reviewed it and they got the call wrong again. And then the whole stadium's getting pissed, and pretty much he fed off that energy. He was like hyping the crowd up, and they just gave him the bird. Yeah. Dude, the fact that they even Like I was in MSU town for that too. And that it reminds me so much of the Western game. Like just you're just so pissed off. And also I'm pissed drunk. So it's like everybody everybody there is pissed drunk and then they go for two. I'm hoping they get it. You know, if they go for two, I win this bet that I did with Connor and they don't get it. So it's like, it is what it is. Wait, what was the bet? We just needed it was a parlay. We just needed MSU to c we just needed MSU to win. So it was like I thought it was against Kyle. no, he bet on No. No, we I I tailed him on a parlay and Michigan State sold it for us. But you know, refs you could say the refs sold him as well. But anyway, I actually went three and four on the week. I thought it was four and three, but right now I'm thirty three and twenty. we have is that right? Thirty three and twenty? Yeah. Thirty three and twenty, first place. Jack and Isaac are still deadlocked in second together. You guys have been buddies this whole time, this whole year. So we'll see, we'll see if stuff changes up this week. You guys are currently 31 and 21. Okay. And then we have Alex. You know, one good week, man. He's he's right back in it. He's at twenty-four and twenty-eight. So Okay, okay. No, as long as you keep piling up these these weeks, like I had three weeks in a row with winning records, and that's got me to first place. So I mean all you have to do is just keep up the momentum and a lot of weeks left, Al. Lot of weeks. You're still gonna And your four games are under four hundred five hundred. Alex, it was really your week one, dude. Yeah, I know. I mean, we can point to Sacramento State, Hawaii Hawaii. I was almost right about that one. Yeah, you were you were so many of these games are so thirty. You're thirty three and twenty? I I mean that's where'd that extra game come from? I'm trying to figure that out because Where'd that extra game come from? With four and three, which was wrong, I'm thirty-four and nineteen, but is that the same amount of games as I'll figure it out. I'll recount it. Probably tomorrow. but anyway, I'm only recount, recount, recount. I think I'm creeping right now. I should be three games ahead of you. So yeah, it'd be thirty four. Maybe it's thirty four and nineteen then. Damn. Or no, I'd only be I I don't know Jack. I'm trying to figure it out. So we're at thirty one and twenty one, right? Yeah. So that's fifty two. Yeah. And if you're at thirty three and twenty, that's fifty three. Okay, so we all need to be at the same amount of games. So then it would be thirty two and twenty. Okay. Yeah. Damn, I'm only one game ahead of y'all. One game ahead. Hey. We coming back. We coming back, baby. We on that, We on that. Yeah, same. We? Bro. We. Jack, me, and LeBron. All right, bro. The prize. Man, talk about one of the games, man. Come on. All right. All right. Let's let's let's start with the Alabama Georgia game. Obviously the the Bullshit ass game. Jack is definitely fired. I didn't know you could steamroll someone before the ball is thrown. That's the new coverage, bro. It's called Yeah. It's called cover knock a out. I watched that live. I could not believe that they didn't call that. That was ridiculous. Sha Herbstreet and Fowler are like, yeah, it's gonna obviously a flag and the whole ESPN graphic for flag comes up and they're like, No flag? No flag, no flag, no call there. And they're like pulling it back and everybody's like, How is that not pass interference? I don't know. Officials I feel like officials have gotten a little sus recently. I mean, going from even NFL to college, like this year's officiating class has been Disgusting. Like it's not good. It's been every week there's some call or multiple calls are just like how are what the are you talking about? It's pitiful, dude. You for expanding, yeah. You'd expect at home. At home you'd get a call, dude. No call. No way. No call. It's crazy. I just can't believe if you need a call to win, then you ain't good enough. Sorry. I mean it is it is on Eldro. It is on the should have put them on the one yard line. It is on Alabama for putting the game in the ref's hands. I'll give him that. But at the same time, like that is a a so obvious a pass interference call. So it's like plain as day. I mean it it clear as day I mean. And so I don't know. And then and what also confuses me, like after they had to punt it away and try to get the bag and you know what? They they call the on sports it like conduct on five. I don't know. I know what you're talking about. But they let the game in on that one, but they didn't I don't know. I mean when you when you're punching a Georgia defender in the face it's pretty obvious. It wasn't like the guy was the own Your Alabama pla player was the only one doing it. Right. The Georgia was feeding it I mean what do all our coaches say? Like it's always the l it's always the last person that gets caught, right? And he unfortunately got cut. I just think it's soft that they They ended the game like that. And I hated Kirby her smart bitching and whining say as soon as that happened, he's like, first down, first down. yeah. I always like it. I've never seen Debore that emotional. Dude, he was at the game. As he should, dude. Five. What the are you thinking? Yeah. Yes. Lost us again. Quit being a idiot. Dude, his press conference, I'm pretty sure he was like He said something about the last interference call that was missed. He's like, Yeah, that's a damn flag. I don't care what anybody says. But with all that I re taken in I was pissed. With all that taken into effect, I mean, Georgia did dominate that second half. They only let Bama score three points from halfti after halftime. They Gunner Stockton proved that he's always just been that All reliable quarterback gets the job done. Doesn't have to be the most talented, strongest arm, most athletic. He's just a winner. He gr he grits out wins. And that's that's He really does. That's how that's who he's been in college this entire time. And Keelan Russell, he's he's the real deal. He's just he's just young. And I feel like as the season goes on, he's gonna learn from his mistakes and he'll he'll grow. Yeah, that he's having a good season too. Yeah, he's out for next week too. Damn. Damn. I I this podcast has always been a girl's last name. He's having a good year, bro. He's having a good year. This podcast has always been a a Ryan Coleman Williams podcast. So I mean we we're sad to see him. We've been pro Ryan Williams. Yeah, we're not about Ryan Coleman Just being respectful. But definitely that game was interesting how it finished, but it did pretty much identify who the number one team in the country is right now and it's Georgia. Hi hands down. They looked the best through the first six weeks of the year. They looked dominant. They looked dominant in that second half. I guess a really talented Alabama team. And I think Alabama's gonna I mean they're gonna have another shot yeah they're gonna have another shot at Georgia at the of the year probably. If I mean if the SEC keeps going out the way it is, you never know. I mean you just lost we just saw LSU lose to Kentucky. No, yeah. Literally. We saw Florida get shit stomped against Florida get shit stomped After he looked like gods, or people were comparing them to 2019 LSU two weeks ago. Now they look like 2025 Florida. I don't know how you can put 50 something on Ole Miss. And then wasn't it Missouri? No, Missouri 50 piece them. Yeah, that's what it was. Dude, it's it's not looking good for Florida. They've they have some flaws that have like shown up these past two weeks that are unexplainable. Especially against a South Carolina team that is struggling. And Shane Beamers on the damn hot seat and you give up a fifty piece to dude, I don't know. There's I mean, yes, it's John Summer's first year, but you had all that hype coming out of the old miss game. Instead of riding it, you're just kind of letting it fade away. You know all the buy-in's gone now from that hype. But we'll see what happens. I mean I'll take John John Summer over Kyle Winnie. Sure. I I don't know if it's a coaching problem. Yeah. I don't think it's a coaching problem. I mean speaking of that, like this kind of relates to Michigan. Like you we see Minnesota beat Michigan. It's their like biggest win in program history in so long, and then they go lose to Purdue. By three ass kick. Yeah. By thirty. And like that's a team that Nerd Aim dominated. Say it. As a Michigan fan. As a Michigan fan killed. Schedule of Sunshine and Rainbows. Well, hey, you know till this week. Till this Michigan beat OU. So they're number one. And then Minnesota beat Michigan and then Mississippi State beat Minnesota and then Alabama beat Mississippi State and then Georgia beat Missically Michigan's ranked in top ten. Yeah. Pretty much. Pretty much. But going from Alabama, Georgia's looking at Texas, Oklahoma, Alex and Caleb, but got that pick right. No, don't think anybody in the country would have guessed that or picked that. I did, I had all the fate from John Matheir. Yeah. I'm sure. Yeah, because John Matir is definitely the reason they won that game. I he didn't turn the ball over. He didn't throw a touchdown, he didn't throw he didn't turn the ball over, he did his job. But that yeah, Alex has always been a a semi Oklahoma fan, but that defense gets exposed again. Yeah, that defense is elite. Poor Archman, bro. They'll make any quarterback look bad for sure. I don't know what's going on with Arch man. I th ev he's had all the hype in the world and he's just he's not he's not playing like it. And I don't I don't know if it's a coaching thing, a scheme thing, or if it's a him thing. I mean he ha always I mean It's a good defense thing when you play. I mean, even if he when he isn't playing Oklahoma's defense, against Tennessee he struggled. Against Ohio State he had the yes, he brought the team back to twenty two point comeback. It wasn't like he was un like incredible or like godlike. He like he just did his job. He did good enough to get the win. It's I don't know. Arch is a a a mystery to me. I feel like he looks he has all the talent and you see it, but then he goes out there and he doesn't use it. Yep. So he's talented, but he ain't skilled. No. Right. Bruh. Hard work beats talent. Talent doesn't work hard. That Oklahoma team is This week though. Yeah. I mean, I'm very all credit to them. Yeah. First time they've ever beat the number one team, the number one Texas team ever. Yeah. I always think or since two thousand seven. No, they're four and one when Texas was ranked number one. Yep. Just goes back to that old saying, you give me four hours to chop down a tree, I'm gonna spend the first three sharpening the axe. Arch just been chopping at the tree, man. He ain't sharpened the axe. Yeah. I don't know what to think about Texas. I f I wanna believe I wanna believe that they're elite, but at the same time I look like they're putting it on the field and it's just like it's just ugly. And yes, they get out of the game 'cause the defense's good, but it's not like they're playing amazingly every week. No. So I don't know. We'll see at if this is a point where they need to get humbled and see if they respond. But I don't know. Maybe they just need to get that loss in their chins and they'll be all right. I mean, that's kind what we saw with them last year. They had a couple of really close calls and obviously lost against Ohio State at the very beginning too. So Yeah, I mean, we might see a repeat of that. But it's also just the SEC, man. Like, let's be honest, when half the frickin' conference is ranked in the preseason or at the start of the year, all these teams could win the damn championship. Yeah. Really. I mean, at the end of the day, not one one isn't way better than the other. When we're comparing John Mateir and Arch, they're probably pretty similar quarterbacks, to be honest. I think John Matthias just made made a couple more mistakes maybe. so yeah, it's like the SEC, what I've learned these past two years, even just picking the games and watching week to week, like they're all so even. And I d I do think the SEC is probably the deepest conference. I know at the same time the argument I don't it's for me it's is the SEC good or is the SEC bad? Because when they go in the bowl season, they're ass. Okay, it's like ready to be done. I mean, if you're playing a Nessi's deal if you're playing at an L S U, for example, this year, they're probably just making a bowl game at this point. True. Like, even though they're still ranked twenty two, which is, you know, a topic for another day. But like I think I think They're probably all thinking about where they're gonna play next or just I mean I guess 'cause if you're going to play at L S U you're thinking probably championship or nothing. Yeah. The bowl game, they they don't give a f I mean, I guess that's a bad argument, but even during the Brian Kelly. Yeah. Yeah, you're right. Brian BK. But even during the regular season, like I don't know what the head to head matchups look like against Big Ten and the SEC, but I'm pretty sure the Big Ten has a pretty good record against the SEC. And lately my in my account. I feel like the last four national titles have been out of the Big Ten and we haven't seen an SEC tit team in the S in the Call no in the championship in four years. So has it really been four? Yeah, 'cause it was Michigan, Washington, and then it was Ohio State, Notre Dame, and then it was Indiana. Miami. No, it was Indiana. I think it's just last three. Last no, I thought it was the last one. Georgia, it was Georgia before last Yeah, that was the last three. Yeah. Last Indian Miami, Indiana. Still still Hey, the best thing comes in fours, man. Georgia's winning it all this year. I told ya. We'll see. I told ya's. We'll see. We'll see what happens. I'm not saying the SEC conference is a bad conference. I mean there's a ten getting at UCLA, man. I know. I was just about to say UCLA can win it all, man. There's there's some bad conference. Like ACC's bad. Like Miami's the only good team in that conference. Yeah, Louisville. Come on, bro. Louisville done beat America Conference bad. I mean, Big Twelve bad. Dude, Louisville sucks. Louisville Louisville fell off the face of the earth. What the hell happened? I mean, I liked Lincoln Keenholz. Florida State? Yeah, they got their ass. No, they beat they beat Florida State. But they still lost the last two games. Or or two games before that. So I mean, yeah, if they win out they got a shot, I guess. But I mean, who else is gonna who else is gonna ch challenge Miami for the NCC? Miami's gonna drop so dude, we all know it's the same shit with Miami every year. They're gonna drop like a stupid game. There's gonna be a bonehead game. Yeah, there's gonna be a bonehead game. It's gonna be like SMU or it's gonna be I'm waiting. Who who even is their schedule? They play Notre Dame on Notre Dame. I really thought it was gonna be the Clemson game, but then I forgot They kinda got a Sunshine and Rainbow schedule too. Worse than Notre Dame's for sure. Worse. I don't know about all that. Yeah, if you take a look at it, there's no one on it. I do know that they played North Carolina before they play Notre Dame and I know they play Pitt too. So they got a couple of games ahead of that are kinda challenging. I'll say it at at Florida State, Pitt, UNC, Notre Dame, Duke, Virginia Tech, Boston College. That's pretty that's pretty easy, but I'd argue It's not as easy as Notre Dame's. No, it's not. Look at Notre Dame's schedule. Florida State's got some good wins, man. Some pitch. Against wait, who against who, bro? Florida State had a nice win against. Florida State puts them on Bama. If you say Virginia, I'm gonna flip it. They're three and two, and yes, they beat Virginia. That was the one I predicted, boy. Stupid Stupid Ed Dad boy. Virginia's the same team that lost to West Virginia, and they're not that good too. I don't know. They was having a hot week. I don't know. ATC's so weird. They was having a hot week. Yeah, hot week. Then they ran into Drew Mestmaker and the boys. But all right, what else? UCLA Oregon. That was a fun game, man. And by fun, I mean it was like honestly a pretty shitty game from both teams. Nico not only goes down he he goes down during the game, he's out for the season now, so that's tough. I do I do like watching Nico play, but to be honest, like to be honest, the reason U CLA's five and right now is not because of him at all. We could it could have been any quarterback there. You could have threw Bryce Underwood there. It'd still be five and me back You could have threw Jack Witt back there and it would've they we'd still And I I think UCLA's run run game is still gonna be the same. And their backup came in for the second half. His name's Ty Long Simpson. I think it's different by Ty Long. Can you imagine? I think I basically the backup the backup QB, he's he's gonna be serviceable, and luckily UCLA's favor or UCLA's schedule is very favorable. So with Nico being there or not. I have a lot of faith in this backup quarterback to just go out there and do a decent job and he threw a couple of really good balls in that Oregon game. For you to come in, have your first action of the season be in Austin Stadium and he delivered a dot on his first pass and it Like the the guy the wide receiver just dropped it. It was Brian Rowe Jr. absolutely bread basketball in the end zone and it would have been right a touchdown right before halftime and he dropped it. And then of course Nico comes back in that very next play, throws a pick. So I mean I saw that one. I'm excited. I mean I think Wisconsin is a very good game for him to have at home, which also Nerdame beat Wisconsin. Dominated him. Dude, what a cake schedule. What is up with you and Notre Dame dominating? Wisconsin's getting votes. Yeah, I know. So I mean this is gonna be a really good not only resume builder for U UCLA, but if they happen to drop this one or something like that, it's honestly not gonna be too bad for Notre Dame though. So here, go talk about Notre Dame, man. I'm talking about UCLA score. They had the chance. And he probably will have to be UCLA. I hope not. That would suck. UCLA That'd be terrible. UCLA got him and they got their guy, and I don't think He he's gonna be leaving anytime soon. I think he's gonna make UCL. He probably loves what he's building right now. I'm sure he loves the weather, he loves what he's out there for. I mean it's it's I think it's a relatively easy school to recruit at least. I'm really I'm like just imagining how this next transfer portal is gonna go because they probably see like the vibes are very, very high there for that football team right now. Like I see all like the fight song stuff and the locker rooms and stuff afterward and like the fact that everyone's just getting jiggy on the field. It doesn't matter if they're tied down in the fourth. The energy the energy is just there and that like doesn't that look fun? It does if you're a recruit you're like yeah. Not only are they five and they prioritize the run game. So I think UCLA is always just gonna be stacked with running backs. Run we run hella offensive linemen, hella running backs. The depth is there. And that's what I was saying like this backup quarterback, he was a he's a senior transfer from Cal Poly. So I mean he I think he's gonna come in and be completely serviceable which is Nico's not some star right now. No. I would argue he might be playing worse than Bryce. I would argue that much. Like they're supposed to die, that wouldn't go that far. I I would say they're the same level then. I would really want Nico on. I'd rather like Nico instead of Bray. See, that's that's the thing though. Nico ha had four Well, I'd take Alex Orgy right now. I'd take Davis Warren back immediately. I'd take Anthony Calandria. That boy put on a show. That boy put on a show against Calandria's nice. I like Calandria at night. I thought they were gonna win, dude. I thought they were gonna win that thing. We should have got mess to make her man. Yeah, we almost did. No way. Yeah, they was on he said that like Michigan was like on one of his final lists. Damn. But going back to that Indiana Nebraska game, you got a feel for these Nebraska fans. Thirty straight how you dropped that. Thirty straight in a row against ranked AP opponents and you can't figure out a way to what a team's already dead. Indiana's dead after that calandrius scramble. They got nothing. They haven't done anything all game. Yeah. The crowd's going crazy. And then you let up Nick Marsh to have a sixty something yard touchdown. And then you punt it and you let another Nick Marsh touchdown again. Like you played yourselves out of that game in the last eight minutes of that ha game, pretty much. Calandria, damn, I feel for him. He played a balls off. And you know what? Nebraska's time is coming. I feel like this is the year. I feel like this is the year they can get it done. I feel like it's it's gonna happen. Calandria's gonna get a couple more wins under his belt in the next couple weeks. They have Ohio State still. They have Iowa still. They have Oregon this weekend. Like it's it'll it's coming together for Nebraska. I think they c if they can just put these games together, they'll be all right. But It was a fun game though. So yeah, stup super fun game. Got a feel for the And it's one of those ones for Indiana where it's like you needed it. Yeah. So they went and got it. Somehow. They pulled it out and it's like that they're they are the former champs for a reason. Yeah, for sure. Am I surprised they won? No, not really, but it's like, damn, that was just a good ass game, man. Yeah. But now they got a a whole different test coming in. They got Ohio State coming to Indiana, going gonna s we're gonna see if this Indiana team's for real. Because this is this is their this is the We're gonna see if this Ohio State team's for real. Who have they played? They lost to Texas by one. I mean they should have won that game too. Like again, like Ohio State, they should still be the number one team in the country, I think. But Not after the loss, obviously, but they should have like Texas handed them the win the first quarter. But w it's gonna be it's gonna be a pretty fun weekend. I don't know if you guys have taken a look at it. There's so many ranked games. So many ranked games. It's so it's gonna be a great weekend. So that makes me wanna transition to a look ahead into next weekend's games. Obviously, my I'm lock I'm locked in for this. Well let's let's go ahead and do that one first. We have the number two, somehow they're number two. All right, bro. Country and the team at BYU, number eight And you know, I'm gonna let the expert on this team go ahead and go first. Alright, I'm gonna s sit forward for this one. I was talking about Jack with BYU. Okay, damn it. You know Jack and I have Alex Alex is Mr. BYU. I wonder if he's gonna go against them this week. We saw a bear light up Iowa State Friday night. You know, the receivers He did light them up. Receivers were dropping some balls. They put up twenty four points that could have touch well, 'cause the receivers were dropping deep balls, it would have been sixty yard touchdowns. So I think they'll get that shit in order. And I give me BYU. Kicking the absolute out of Notre Dame. Wouldn't wouldn't you love to see that? Jack and I do have a history of watching Nerdane BYU together. We it was a it was three years ago. Remember when you came over to my house and it was the Shamrock series, and Nerdame's wearing all those all white. Whites. They played in Vegas. I remember I remember it. yeah. Yeah, I remember that. Yeah, the entire game. We were we're sitting on the couch and Mike Jack stopped chirping. But then mayors and stop rage baiting. BYU almost got that game too. They did, but we we ended Nerdame ended up winning, and Nerdame wasn't ranked at that point, and BYU was, so we upset them. So looking ahead at this game, I'm feeling confident. I it's just win. Just win every week. every time I talk to my boys in the Nordame group chat is P O R so play like Rumsey. You guys wouldn't get that reference, but it's an Olivet thing. So it's niche and an inside joke. Yeah, it's an Olivet thing. But looking ahead of this game, it's gonna be it's gonna be a test for sure. I think Bears are pretty good legitimate quarterback. He's ran for a hundred yards, he threw for o three hundred, he's got four hundred total yards under his belt last week. Yeah, yeah, that was that was pretty ridiculous to see. But at the same time, I think Nerdame's run game is starting to come to life now. I we've seen Jonas Watson or Jonas Walton It better be alive after who they played, are you kidding me? Last I mean it was it was struggling there for a little bit, but you know, we figured it out. the freshman, the true freshman is starting to be an electric playmaker for us. He's got a it reminds me of a little bit of a mixture between Jadarian Price and Al Audric Estime. He's got a kind of that build that that's explosiveness, so I like that. CJ Carr, I mean, he's the man. He's the man always. Good god. He's my boy. Obviously, via my Instagram we got a picture together. He he knows me by first name. You're like Jack with LeBron, like you are with CJ Carr. Me and CJ Carr are gonna. Go the game together. I mean, we're ready. But that the atmosphere though, college game day is gonna be there and Marcus Freeman's five five and three when game days for his game. So that's five five and four ain't too bad. Yeah, all right. About five hundred. But you know, looking at this game, I think I think Nerdame's gonna win this one. I don't care if how many scores we win it by, but I just want to win. And I think that atmosphere is gonna prove to be a challenge at first. but I think we're gonna overcome that and I I think we should handle the L. I I show I think we proved to the country that we are the number two arguab arguably the number one team in the country. So how here we go. So that's what I gotta say. No Iris. Fair enough, fair enough. I I respect I'm a hating ass nerd aim podcast. It's hard beaten JVT. No, I I respect you rooting for your team. Because I should have did that last week with UCLA. Should've bro. I never go against my boys. What do you think? What do you think, Alex? Damn, bro. No bear down. Nah, not this week. Cale's gonna go. I'll lone wolf it. It's all up to me. Jack would love to lone wolf this. I know you would, but I'm not gonna let you. I'm going BYU as well. Like, again, we all we keep going back to like who's Notre Dame played. I think that's I think that close-ish game, the close-ish game against UNC looks a lot better, especially after how UNC played last week. And You know We beat Wisconsin. We beat UNC. I mean, who the is BYU beat? My God Iowa State seventeen ten against TCU, twenty-four ten against Iowa State, twenty-eight seventeen against Arizona. Their only decent win this whole season is against Arizona. Twenty eight seventeen. Noah Fajita. That's a great win. Noah Fajita's a win, bro. They're not even ranked. Chicken Fajita played for them? Yeah. Yeah. Tell me tell me who BYU's beating this year, Jack. Yeah, a whole bunch of nobodies. So what Utah Utah Tech, they hung a sixty three piece. Utah Tech Utah Tech. Arizona, they hung a twenty eight piece. Colorado State, forty one piece. I said that BYU has beaten themselves. A s a sin for for Mormons. true. They can't beat. I mean it they can't beat them. I don't know. I feel like So they gotta do it to the other people. G C U with that Harvard frickin' quarterback. Seventeen ten, which let me remind you, U C U N C beat. They ain't gonna ask how they gonna ask how many. Catholic versus Mormons. A b great matchup. We've seen this since G. Matchup old ass sky. All right. You guys are talking about who Notre Dame has better wins. Listen, listen. It doesn't it doesn't even matter about their wins. Who cares about the resume, dude? I picked Notre Dame last year to beat Miami in game one. me. And then the next time I picked Notre Dame to beat USC, me again. No, somebody beat USC. What are you talking about? No, not that year. What year then, Caleb? We've been doing this for one year. it was Texas AM. It was Texas AM. It was Texas AM. You were there actually. I know that. Well, y'all have been doing it for three, but Nah, we started the pick. Well, they only hung twenty-seven on MSU. my God. look at the next two games. Next three games. All right. UNC 3726. Purdue beat That ain't a crazy win. Any anyway, let's let's move on to another game. Minnesota is good win. I'm saying Purdue beat the shit out of Minnesota Minnesota. And Michigan couldn't even beat Minnesota. Yeah, Michigan isn't Michigan isn't on the level as nobody talk about. Yeah, but they shouldn't Minnesota. Agree to you. Why do you think I hate my team? I love my team right now, actually. Me too. I love my team. I'm number two in the country. I feel great. Bruh. Just win, baby. Just win. Put these crybaby bitches asleep. Put a zero next to them too. A zero? They ain't played no. Next to Okay. Ohio State. Which side are we talking about? The right side, obviously. Ohio State of Indiana. What do we think? Ohio State. I'm rocking Indiana by like fifty. I'm rocking Indiana. Ohio State, again, me last game. So I'm not trusting them again. Yeah. I'm Indiana almost lost to Northwestern. Almost lost to Nebraska. I'm taking Ohio State, Jack. I'm with you on this one. Let's go, baby. I think I think I'm taking this preferably 'cause I want my record to be good and g get some games on Caleb because I'm looking at Caleb right now, he's Dude, every single time every single time we've taught we talk about this, we have no clue how these games are gonna go. Exactly. Right, but I'm I'm looking at you right now, Caleb. But I know how this game's gonna go. yeah, you d you do. Exactly. As long as like what we were saying about Ohio State, Texas a couple weeks ago. Thirty seven, sixteen. I think Ohio State might get up early, but Indiana's gonna find some way to squeeze this out of it. As long as baby bitch Ryan Day doesn't come out of the tunnel, we're Ohio State's gonna win this game. I think the only way Indiana has a chance is if Lee B jr. runs his ass off. True. But that Ohio State defense is pretty good against the run. I feel like I know what you guys are gonna pick here, but Mississippi State at LSU, another ranked matchup. Some argue maybe it shouldn't be a ranked matchup because of one of the teams, but Yeah. I think give me Mississippi State. I knew you were gonna say that. Maureen. I'm also going Mississippi State. Okay, okay. Sam Levitt Who's at home? I don't know. I'm I'm gonna take I'm gonna take LSU. I'm also going L S U. I I think it's it's gonna be a bounce back game. I think they're at home too. So go Tigers. I mean L SU is at home too. But I I'm not sure that really matters too much. Mississippi State. We've seen them I don't know man. Or on the table. I'm not sure what to think about Mississippi State right now. After that ass beating they got. This one this one's gonna be interesting. Kenny Minchie, baby. That's what I think about it. Kentucky. Hey, remember that sleeper pick I made with Kentucky? Guess what? It look it's looking pretty good right now. It's blossoming. It's blossoming. We're looking at a potentially a playoff team in Kentucky right now. Just saying. And I called this back in July. No. And your Hawaii pick. Hawaii? Yeah. What did I pick Hawaii for? Your Hawaii is like your sleeper pick. No, no, it was like UCF, I think. No, it was UCF and Hawaii. Hawaii was not in there. Dude, watch that episode back. Nah. It is. Nah. Alright, now you just now you're just now you're the one where it just you and me? Yes. Probably a different person. Pre haircut Caleb, that's what it was. Yeah, he was not very GR Caleb. Pre G R Dude, facts. Honestly, we gotta start separating that. we're gonna do the spread for this one. Alabama at Tennessee. The spread's at eight and a half. So I mean it's it's like, does Alabama can can these guys win by honestly, I'm just gonna go give me Tennessee to cover that, 'cause I I'd like the teams at home to be able to at least keep it somewhat close or even win the game. Like Tennessee they've pulled they've been spoilered at Alabama before. Twice in the game. And it's it's gonna be an electric atmosphere. We know those fans are gonna go crazy. Is this a night game as well? Yeah it's three thirty. Three thirty. So I mean I don't know. I like Tennessee's chances of of you know, I'll I'll be I'll be risky here and take Tennessee to cover. Give me Bama. I think we've seen crazier things happen at Tennessee. I mean they've upset them twice. In the same fashion at at in Knoxville. It's a hard place to play for sure. But I think after this Alabama loss, I think I think they're gonna cover. I think Alabama's gonna cover for this game because they're gonna come up pissed off and obviously they're gonna take that intensity that Kaelin the Board just showed and just drive it. Just gonna drive it down. Five might murder somebody. Five might yeah, he might go crazy this game. Alex? Take Bama as well. I'll lone wolf it. I'll lone wolf it. UNC at Duke. This is the only ACC game we have on here. Figured it's a battle of the blue bloods. Might be fun. And I think I think personally with how much I've been with how much I just praised UNC, I feel like I feel like I want to pick them. So I'm gonna go with UNC. I'm riding UNC too. I I'm going tar heels as well. Duke just lost to Georgia Tech last week and J Georgia Tech is ass. So give me North Carolina and Bill Belly. Bill Belly check to get a win. I don't know if that changes your your outlook on it or not, but I'll go unk. I can't believe I'll go unk I can't believe who was I can't believe Georgia Tech was ranked to start the year. I can't like that was that was insane. There's always like a couple teams they just completely miss on. Missouri at Ole Miss. Damn I'm thinking Ole Miss had this one. Pretty easy pick. Honestly, yeah, I think I'll ride Ole Miss as well. This is kinda this is kind of one they need to really get back in that conversation. I get Missouri's like they've they've had some really insane wins and yes, they are on fire, but one of these teams, it's gonna be they're gonna be out, and I think this is where Missouri's time this season kind of ends for me. I think Ole Miss is gonna hand it to I don't know, man. I mean Ole Miss lost to Florida and then the week after Missouri just belts Florida. And then Missouri belts belts, Texas A and I just feel like they have too much too much momentum. But at the same time, you don't bet against Trinidad, man. You don't tr you don't bet against six. Is that his number? Until you bet against them on Florida. I don't know. Until you bet with them on Florida and they lose thirty. Yeah, yeah. Give me old miss. I think they're gonna win this one, but it's gonna be close and it's gonna have to be with Trinidad's magic again. So Jack, you don't even gotta say it. I already wrote it down for you. Thanks, bro. I'm going old miss. Yeah. He is six. Bang. and then Oklahoma State at Houston. I think I already know who Isaac's gonna pick, but Houston, they impressed me last week. Not that I thought they were gonna lose or anything to Kansas State, but I think they're walking in with a lot of momentum. They're at home. Oklahoma State, I mean, I get they're good, but they beat Oregon. UCLA just beat Oregon. They don't even have a quarterback anymore. For half the game they didn't have one. That I think that Oregon win an Oregon related. I think that Oregon win at home just looks worse and worse with each passing week. So I'm gonna take Houston to comfortably win here at home. You know, I did I have picked both these teams this year. I picked Houston to beat Texas Tech. They didn't do it and I pee I picked Oklahoma State to beat West Virginia and they did that. So statistically I should be taking Oklahoma State here, but in my heart I'm still gonna take Drew Mestermaker and the boys to get it done. So give me give me Oklahoma State to win a big one in the Big twelve. So yeah, statistically you are taking Oklahoma. As Oklahoma fan, I would never pick Oklahoma State, so I'm going Houston. You say good reasoning, good reasoning Okay Alex I'm gonna keep riding Houston. Damn am I the only one at Oklahoma? I think they've been doing pr doing me pretty well lately. Who lone wolf this week? I lone wolf on one of All right, well got our picks in. Isaac's gotta go. yeah, other than that, hopefully hopefully this goes well for all of us, you know? Yeah, I mean it's gonna be a really fun week. It's the biggest week in college football up to this point. So Yeah I'm I am excited to see how Notre Dame actually plays somebody. Yeah. N BYU too I guess. It's gonna be a fun game. I I don't think it's gonna be a blowout at all. I think it's gonna be a competitive game and it I don't know if our sixteen game streak of winning by double digits is gonna hold against BYU but you know I just wanna win. Just win I hope Michigan wins. Just Michigan we didn't even talk about Yeah, Michigan didn't even play last week. So I mean it was nice. It was nice we beat the bye we brought The sun was out, like it was at least. Who's Michigan played when you know it's sad when a Michigan fan comes up to you in Mackinac City and says, Hey, like your sweatshirt, but doesn't say go blue because you know b both of us know that the team is ass. So Hey Alex, just y this doesn't have to go towards your record or anything, but who do you got this week? Michigan or Penn State? Right down. I mean Penn State did just blow their whiteout game again. I don't know if Penn State's all that great. So I I would I I would pick Michigan too, just to just do I think they're gonna respond. They have to. They yeah, they have everything behind them, especially they still have both their rivals coming up. I would love to see them like turn it around and just like just destroy. Yeah, for sure. Rest of and then like when it comes to Michigan State and Indiana and Ohio State like they at least be competitive against Indiana, beat the shit out of Michigan State and somewhat be competitive against beat the shit out of Ohio State. That would be nice. That would be nice. Prove Jeremiah Smith is not the best receiver to ever play college football. He is never generational. Go Devontae Smith. He's a Devontae. Okay. Nah. Of course you're Jeremiah Smith. Jeremiah Smith is literally the best. No, Donovan Peoples Jones. What are you guys talking about? We're ending the podcast here. It's getting out of hand. Devontae Smith. Tariq Bratt. No no final thoughts on that. If Russell Westbrook played wide receiver instead of the point guard, he would have been the best. out of here. No final thoughts for anybody. Remember, we don't know ball, you don't know ball. We all don't know ball. We'll see you in the next one. Peace Walker.
