• 1:19
  Speaker 1: slump continues.
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: Somebody fucking kill me, please.
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: I don't even know what I should do at this
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: point other than potentially end it all.
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: What's up, everybody?
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: I have no shame here, So this is gonna be.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: This is better off dead. I'm toad. Obviously this is
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: gonna be. I'm back with you, this is gonna be.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna just give out some college football predictions as
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: far as maybe like who I think might win the
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: Power Conferences, maybe I guess who may make the playoffs
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: out of those conferences, and maybe who I think might
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: have decent chances to win the playoffs hard edge. What's
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: up man, Good to see you. Yeah, West Virginia obviously
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: is gonna run the table this year. Everybody knows this
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: new peak. Actually, well, I did go to and zero.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: If you guys watched my show this morning, following my bets,
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: we had an outright winner on a massive WNBA underdog
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: with the Chicago Sky They won outright. I was pretty
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: sure it was a wire to wire, real easy cover.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: I mean, obviously I didn't watch it. And then the
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: Houston Astros also an easy winner. They hadn't scored it
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: all and they finally actually scored tonight. So how about that?
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: No shame? Yeah, well hopefully that's true. I mean, you guys,
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: you guys are here to support me as I try to. Dude,
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: I'm trying to learn while I do this too, because
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: like the way that I handicap this, I just do
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: it like on the fly, like almost week two weeks.
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: I don't really do a whole lot with futures. I
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: know a lot more about what's going on with the
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: personnel in the NFL, and people even said that Clinton
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: and I were retarded for that. So you guys can
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: go check out ball to where we talked about our
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: playoff predictions for the NFL. I might do one more
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: NFL Predictions show, one more time, just solo, but I
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: don't know yet. Obviously NFL is gonna start, well, it
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: starts two weeks from now, I guess right, because college football.
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: I'm talking about it now because Week zero is gonna
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: be starting on Saturday, and I am probably gonna have
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: one play in Week zero, so I'm gonna do the
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: Week zero show tomorrow night, probably at midnight, so you
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: guys can look out for that, and I believe we
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: will probably give up one play, which hard edged. Because
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: he's in the Twitter group chat here that I constantly leave,
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: he probably already knows what that play is. All right,
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: What I'm gonna do this is I'm gonna go through
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: all the conferences one by one. Basically I had the
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: odds up on DraftKings, so we could see, like maybe
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: where we might begetting some value in some of these conferences.
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: I have the CBS Sports page up that lists all
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: the returning production, which is basically which players that were
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: essentially starters last year I believe are coming back this
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: year more or less. So Obviously, returning production is a
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: big thing, but more so early in the season. But
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: I think it does kind of have an effect later
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: later on as far as like telling you what, like
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: how experienced these teams are. I think experience does matter
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: late as well as it matters in the early portions
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: of the matters early in the early portions of the season,
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: but it matters like when you come down to like
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: the big games. Basically, like these guys have big game
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: experience playing together essentially and then I do also have
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: a coaching carousel page up here, so this page is
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: kind of hard to read, but I mean, I guess
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: we'll try to figure it out.
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: I don't know, dude.
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: The conference realignments are also fucking me up, because it's like,
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: I don't even know if the PAC twelve is back
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: or if the PAC twelve just still has two teams
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: in it.
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: But I guess we'll find out when I go through
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: these year.
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: But I'm only gonna go through like the Power conferences,
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: and maybe I will mention a couple of things about
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: some of the smaller conferences. I will mention just because
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: our West Virginia guys here, another West Virginia school, Marshall,
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: is probably gonna be the worst team in all of
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: FBS College football, Top tier Division one Marshall. If you
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: guys kind of remember Marshall, Basically their entire team left.
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: Before the bowl. They made a bowl last year.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: They had a good season in I forget which conference
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: they were even in, because they've been in the MAC.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: I think they might have been in Conference USA, now
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: somebody could American Conference. I don't even know what conference
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: they were in, man, whichever conference they were in, they
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: had a good season, but then they all bailed on
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: the bowl game, so they didn't even play. They they
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: did not have enough players to even field a team
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: in the bowl game. And that's carrying over to this year.
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: Is basically their entire team left and went to Southern Miss.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: So their coach and he brought like a bunch of
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: players with some Marshall, They're gonna be like a complete
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: hole of a team, especially early, and they get to
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: play Georgia, I'm pretty sure in week one, So isn't
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: that a whole lot of fun. They're probably like a
• 5:50
  Speaker 1: forty point underdog and in the first game, and I
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: might recommend probably laying the points if you actually want
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: to get involved in that game. That's how bad it
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: is for Marshall. So I just figured I would point
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: that out because that's a unique situation. They're not gonna
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: be good early in the season, I would not imagine,
• 6:07
  Speaker 1: and Southern Miss probably will do pretty well because all
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: those guys got carried over Campbell. They're not they're not
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: in FBS football Man Campbell. They are D one.
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: Basketball, so probably there are they D one football.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: I don't even know.
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: Maybe they're not even D one.
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: Football ACC because it's first alphabetically. We got the ACC here, which,
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: of course, but because I'm in Massachusetts, DraftKings is not
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: giving us a line on Boston College here, which I
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: don't really think Boston College is very relevant anyway, So
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: who cares? They actually lost Castellanos, their quarterback, who's actually
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: he stopped playing later in the season. Castellanos as being
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: like a huge dick, and I think he's actually on
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: Florida State now if I'm not mistaken. So I have
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: to kind of keep up with all these personnel changes
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: and like where did this quarterback go? And whatever? But
• 6:59
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna try to try to break this down at
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: least quickly. I mean, this is gonna be total retardation
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: on the show. FCS is where Campbell is all right,
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: I don't follow FCS at all. Other and then I
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: know that you had like North Dakota State, like Montana Stately,
• 7:12
  Speaker 1: those are some of the better teams, and I think
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: some of those teams I think have actually moved up
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: to FBS this year. Yeah d one FCS. Yeah, But
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: I only focus on FBS for my purposes anyway. ACC
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: Clemson obviously has the best odds to win the ACC
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: and they have a lot of returning production here. For Clemson,
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: I think they actually might have the most returning production
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: in all of college football.
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: Kid klub Nick as their quarterback. He's back.
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: They got a bunch of wide receivers coming back. Looks
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: like they did lose a running back, but I think
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: running backs are some of the more easy players to
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: kind of replace.
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: I hate that this video is playing, by the way.
• 7:48
  Speaker 2: I'm like, stop, I don't know.
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: I don't care what Bryant McFadden and Tommy Tran and
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: Chip Patterson is at his name, what all those guys
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: will say. I don't give a shit. But anyway, Clemson,
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: My guess is that Clemson is probably gonna win the
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: ACC again. I mean, I think there's still the best team.
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: They obviously have Dabbos Sweeny, very experienced coach. I don't
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: know what is going on outside. Man, it's a Thursday night.
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: I live across from a bar. Don't want to docks myself,
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: but there's something going on on on the street there,
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: and it's like, I don't know, there's some bad shit
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: going on. I hear a bunch of cars honking. I
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: hate that shit. I hate when people like rev their
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: engines late at night too. It's like people are trying
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: to sleep. Motherfucker. People should get arrested for that shit. Anyway,
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: I think Clemson is probably gonna still be the winner,
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: even though I know it looks almost too easy. Everybody
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: knows Clemson. They're always one of those like top teams
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: that kind of has championship aspirations every single year. They
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: still have dabbos swinging there. I'm assuming who's been there forever,
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: so they got the experience they got. There's quarterback is
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: still there, so you know, a lot of momentum or
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: not momentum, but a lot of stuff kind of carries
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: through to this season. Clemson. Of course, he did make
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: the playoffs last year, though they weren't that good generally.
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: I do think that he sees down though after these
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: conference re alignments, because the ACC is so stupid. Now, man,
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: the Atlantic Coast Conference is now the American or no,
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: what is it?
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: Is it the American Coastal Conference.
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: I don't even know what it is, but they now
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: obviously have California teams and you're in Collen, Stanford, and
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: the travel is so bad for these teams that they
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: just I mean, look at their odds, like they basically
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: have no chance to win. Even though Stanford, by the way,
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: they have Frank Reich as their quarterback now or the
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: quarterback as their coach. He used to be a quarterback.
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: Frank Reich, by the way, he was the Buffalo Bills
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: quarterback in the largest comeback and playoff history, I believe,
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: against the Houston Oilers for you nineties boys, if you
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: remember that game. Frank Reich, though he was the coach
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: for Indianapolis Colts for a while, he was in the
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: Eagles organization for a while, I believe. But he is
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: the coach for Stanford now. But they just have no personnel.
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: And Andrew luck is actually in their front office now too,
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure, or something like that. But we'll see
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: if Frank W. Reich can do anything at Stanford. It's
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: not gonna be not gonna be very good. I don't
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: think for them, obviously, but I just figured it was interesting.
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: I'll point that.
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, William and Mary Maris Stony Brook.
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: I mean, I talk about all those teams in basketball, Yeah,
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: that's right. No noise after ten PM basketball. I try
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: to handicap all of D one, which is insanity and
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: it did not work out for me this past year,
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: but I've had good years as well.
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: Zach, what's up man, Thanks for hanging out.
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the American ass Coppers, the other teams that do
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: have a chance in the ACC. I kind of feel
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: that Miami is almost being overlooked, even though I kind
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: of always think that Miami tends to actually be overrated.
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: But like in the ACC, all I'm hearing is like Clemson.
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: But I mean, I think Clemson does deserve to be
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: basically the favorite to win this conference. And I hear
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: a lot about Louisville, like Louisville's kind of this up
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: and coming program, but I think Louisville is not returning
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: their quarterback.
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: They are returning to some of their other guys.
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: So Louisville they are a program kind of on the up,
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: but they actually don't have a lot of returning production here.
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: It looks like only eight.
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: Starters I guess the returning So that's not that great
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: for them, So we'll see what happens with that. And Clemson,
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: on the other hand, by the way, how many returning
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: starters do? They have? A lot? Sixteen, So almost everybody
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: on Clemson is returning, which I think is going to matter.
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: And yeah, but Miami I think does have a chance because,
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: as people might know, Miami does have Carson Beck now
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: he moved over from Georgia, so he does have experience
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: playing against SEC defenses, so I think he's gonna have
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: an easier time against ACC defenses. And I know people
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: like to shit on Carson Beck the way that he looks.
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: He kind of looks like a bird or whatever, and
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: who even knows man, But he got injured towards the
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: end of last year, so I think he didn't play
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: in the playoffs, so they're missing him in the playoffs playoffs,
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: But I think Beck is I mean, he's still.
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: A good quarterback.
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: He's an experienced quarterback, and again he's stepping down in
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: the level of talent with the defenses that he's facing.
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: So I actually think it's a good pickup from Miami.
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: But Miami still has Mario crystal Ball as their coach,
• 12:04
  Speaker 1: I think, and he tends to make a lot of mistakes,
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: but I do think Miami is going to contend at least.
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: I think their offense should be really good.
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: Again.
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: I know they lost cam Ward of.
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: Course to the draft, but I think their offense is
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: still gonna be good this year.
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: SMU still has their quarterback coming back.
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: I believe in Jennings, so their offense might be still
• 12:25
  Speaker 1: fairly good as well. But I think SMU overperformed last year.
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: Man I was not a believer in SMU. I know
• 12:30
  Speaker 1: they made the playoffs. I think they beat Clemson in
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: the ACC title game last.
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: Year, which I think Clemson's going to really.
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: Focus on it this year because they focus on that
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: every year and they're gonna want to get back to that.
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: But SMU, I think they take a step back. I'm
• 12:44
  Speaker 1: not really buying SMU, Like I didn't buy them last year,
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: and they got their asses handed to them in the
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: playoff against who is it against Penn State? Maybe, so
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: I don't think SMU is gonna really do anything. Louisville again,
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: I don't know if I'm necessarily buying Louisville. I mean,
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: and I think they're a program on the rise, but
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: they're not returning a lot of their starters either. Georgia
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: Tech I think kind of interesting if to they sive
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: their quarterback from last year. Let me see Georgia Tech. Yeah,
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: Haines King, Georgia Tech is an interesting team, man. I
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: think Georgia Tech if you're looking for maybe like kind
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: of a total long shot here. I actually don't hate
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: Georgia Tech. I kind of liked them last year. Haines
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: King is like a pretty solid dual threat. Not to
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: be confused with Jamal Haynes. They're running back was also
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: returning both Haynes's Haines they're the underwear team. But I
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: think Haines King, he's a good dual threat quarterback man.
• 13:36
  Speaker 1: So I like the Georgia Tech's returning some of these
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: guys too. Their defense is probably not gonna be capable enough,
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: not good enough, but they I think they have a
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: decent chance to make some noise here. Yeah, Carson Beck, correct, Yes, Nate,
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: that is right. Notre Dame. You're a Notre Dame fan, Zack.
• 13:54
  Speaker 1: I'll have to talk about Notre Damian though. I don't
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: think they're in a conference at all. Right, Missouri State
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: is a face using a SMU.
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: As their home opener. What's up?
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: Justin Justin is a camera man, folks. If you don't
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: know Justin Is, he does a lot of camera work
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: for Missouri sports, college sports, I believe mostly Missouri State specifically,
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: I think right for both men and women's basketball.
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: You got the football game going on.
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: I do think SMU should win that game against Missouri
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: Missouri State, but I think Missouri State's pretty competitive. Beck
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: looks like Peter Laurie Young Steve Brushin. You mean Steve
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: uh Busmi, right Bushe? Yeah, I mean, which is not
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: not a good thing, because Buscemi is all good. But
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: I like Busmi man, He's one of the actors that
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: I actually don't dislike. Yes, that's right. How do you
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: do folks? Yes, we're all retarded here. And then we
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: do have Duke. Where I think Duke is Ah. They're
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: switching quarterbacks again here, so I don't really know the
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: Duke is gonna do a whole lot. I forget where Duke.
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: I think did Duke get the quarterback from Tulane? Maybe?
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: Is that what I'm I'd have to look it up.
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: I think they have a new quarterback that I think
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: is transferring from some other team. I think they got
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: Tulane's quarterback who's actually fairly good. I which is probably
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: part of the reason why Duke does have decent odds here.
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: And then Florida State, I mean they were the team
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: that everybody just wanted to shit on last year because
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: they underperformed massively last year. Florida State, I mean they
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: always have good recruiting, good talent level. I did say,
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: I believe they have Castellanos now, right, the quarterback from
• 15:27
  Speaker 1: BC who is a complete trader now and is going
• 15:29
  Speaker 1: to Florida State. Like I think he literally just basically
• 15:32
  Speaker 1: refused to play for BC anymore at the end of
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: the year. I'm not a fan of him, and he's
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: being such an asshole. I think he's just being like
• 15:40
  Speaker 1: totally cocky about this right now about Florida State and
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: just like shitting on their opponents and whatever, which is
• 15:46
  Speaker 1: going to motivate their opponents. So I'm not really seeing,
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: not seeing a whole lot going on with Florida State.
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: And then of course North Carolina. Everybody knows Bill Belichick
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: is their coach now, but is he gonna turn North
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: Carolina around right now? I don't know. I mean North
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: Carolina they're forty to one here, so they're a total outleter,
• 16:03
  Speaker 1: which I should mention clemsont his plus one oh five
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: Miami plus three eighty for the people only listening on audio.
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: When I put this out there in audio.
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: SMU plus eight fifty, Louisville plus eight fifty, Georgia Tech
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: plus twelve hundred, Duke plus twenty five hundred Florida State
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: plus twenty eight hundred. I know I'm skipping over Virginia
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: Tech North Carolina plus four thousand, but I think people
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: are gonna take the public is probably gonna be betting
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: North Carolina just because it's Bill Belichick and forty to one.
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: They'll probably take the shot there.
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: But he's gonna have to clean up North Carolina's defense
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: in a massive way. Their defense has been awful for
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: years now. Yah Tulane on North Carolina gonna roll over.
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: North Carolina's probably actually being coached by Bill Belichick's twenty
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: five year old girlfriend now actually instead because she seems
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: to run him. So I'm not really expecting a whole
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: lot from them. Virginia Tech does still have Drones coming
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: back as their quarterback. He's a decent quarterback. They got
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: some attorney production there. They're thirty five to one there
• 16:59
  Speaker 1: plus thirty five hundred. Don't know that they're going to
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: do anything. Pittsburgh was off to a hot start last
• 17:05
  Speaker 1: year and they completely fell off. They're at forty five
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: to one, but one of their quarterbacks is returning in Holstein,
• 17:10
  Speaker 1: who did play some of their games last year, because
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: I forget who their other quarterback was who kept getting injured.
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: But they have decent returning production fourteen players. So Pittsburgh
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: maybe a little bit of a sleeper, I guess.
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: In the ACC.
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: But they were overperforming last year and I picked some
• 17:26
  Speaker 1: spots to go against them and they completely fell off.
• 17:29
  Speaker 1: I think they might have been like six and one,
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: seven and one to start last year and then they
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: wound up like seven and five or something and barely
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: got into a bowl game whatever it was. But they
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: do have at least Holstein, who actually did play pretty well,
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: so he's got some experience. I don't even know what's
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: going on with the rest of these teams. Man NC
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: stayed at forty five to one, Syracuse at seventy one
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: to one. Of course, doesn't have McCord anymore, who was
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: there the guy that ran the show with Syracuse. So
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: I'm not really expecting a whole lot of Syracuse because
• 17:57
  Speaker 1: he got drafted. Obviously, Virginia decent returning core on the defense,
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: at least in Virginia I think actually has a somewhat
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: easy schedule this year, but they're at eighty to one.
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: I mean, I don't think they really have a whole
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: lot of a shot. Pitt sucks. Yeah, pretty much. SEC
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: having nine games in conference coming, Yeah, that's gonna start
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: next year, I believe. I mean, it's gonna battle test
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: those SEC teams even more. Man So, I think it's
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: gonna strengthen the SEC because dude, basically like the SEC,
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: all their teams pretty much have like a like multiple
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: like total cake walk games early in the season so
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: and sometimes in the middle of the season. So that's gonna.
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: Eliminate like one of those games for each team.
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: Uh, it's not gonna make a huge difference, I don't think,
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: but I think it will battle test those teams a
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: bit more. Yeah, Belichick's getting the plasma transmissions.
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's right.
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: And then I don't even know, like what's going on
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: with NC State. I've not been paying any attention to
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: NC State at all. I theyk got ten returning starters,
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: including Bailey their quarterback, but I mean not to do
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: a whole lot anyway, I think this conference is basically
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: Clemson to lose. Like again, I think Clemson Miami I
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: think has a shot. And then I would actually say
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: Georgia Tech is probably my third favorite, just because I
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: think Haines king a lot of experience there running the
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: show there. So, but the ACC is a shitty.
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: Conference, man.
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: So like as far as like the winner of that
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: conference will get into the playoffs. Do I think that
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: the ACC is gonna get two teams into the playoffs
• 19:25
  Speaker 1: like they did last year. I'm not so sure that
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: they will. It's possible, but it seems like a bit
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: of an outside shot there. I'm gonna skip over the
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: I'm only talking about the Power conferences. Maybe you can
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: see here in American Tulane, even though like we said,
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: I think they lost their quarterback, they're at plus three
• 19:42
  Speaker 1: twenty to win that conference. For whatever reason, it looks
• 19:45
  Speaker 1: like it's gonna be Tulane Navy UTSA. I probably would
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: not want to have money on Tulane there. I think Navy,
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: I mean, Navy is always kind of a force man,
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: with that crazy uh like triple option that they run over.
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: I think if they still have their same coach from
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: last year, they're running like the wing t offense now,
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: just throwing guys off UTSA is an up and comer
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: as well. They're at forty five excuse me, they're at
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: four plus four fifty there, excuse me a Navy at
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: plus three eighty and two Lane at plus three twenty there.
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: So yeah, UTSA at four and a half to won
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: their UTSA is a good program and it's flying under
• 20:20
  Speaker 1: the radar, and they might be returning some guys. Well,
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: I'm not gonna really look into it that much, but
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: I think either Navy or UTSA would probably be my pick.
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: Like those two teams I think have a decent shot
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: to win that conference.
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: Memphis I think lost Hennigan.
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: It was their starting quarterback, So not putting a whole
• 20:35
  Speaker 1: lot of stock into them or really any of the
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: rest of the teams in that conference a whole lot.
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: South Florida and Army decent odds there for them as well,
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: But I'm not really buying either of them as far
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: as I know.
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: What do I know?
• 20:48
  Speaker 1: A Big twelve? We got Big twelve is totally wide open, man,
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: There's like no clear cut favorite here at all, with
• 20:55
  Speaker 1: Kansas State and Arizona State both having the best odds
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: to win at five point five one plus five point
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: fifty will what's up man?
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: Thanks for hanging out.
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, this is more of just a retard stream where
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: I don't really know what I'm talking about here, but
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: I would not go with Arizona State here, man. I
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: mean they did lose Skataboo, as everybody knows. Everybody knows
• 21:15
  Speaker 1: the multi threats running back at Scataboo.
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: He's gone.
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: I was typing scataby I want to type Arizona State here.
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: They have a lot of attorney starters though they do
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: have the most returning starters in I guess they have
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: the most. I thought Clemson had the most, but Arizona
• 21:31
  Speaker 1: State actually has seventeen. So it's Arizona State, Illinois and
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: Clemson are top three. Arizona State's base of returning everybody
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: except Scatabo. They have ten guys out of the eleven
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: on defense, so their entire defense is returning. Elevitt a
• 21:45
  Speaker 1: quarterback returning, but only one of their wide receivers, so
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: he's gonna have to get used to having no Scataboy anymore,
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: so they can't run all these trick plays anymore. Arizona State,
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: I thought they were kind of a gimmicky team last year.
• 21:57
  Speaker 1: Man like I thought they overperformed.
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: Even though their defense is returning a lot of guys.
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: I don't think their defense is really particularly good at all.
• 22:04
  Speaker 1: I mean, the Big Twelve not known as a defensive conference.
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: It's a pretty weak conference since the conference realignments. I
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: think Arizona State, because they won the conference last year.
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: Everybody saw them give Texas a real scare in the playoff.
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: I'm not buying Arizona State this year. I'm not seeing
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: it happen. I think it's either gonna be Kansas State
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: or Utah here, and I would actually probably lean towards Utah.
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: Kansas State they are returning their quarterback, and I will
• 22:29
  Speaker 1: talk about them because they're actually playing in the Dublin
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: game in the first game in Week zero up against
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: Iowa State, so we get a conference matchup right away.
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: Kansas State, they got Avery Johnson, a quarterback. He's returning,
• 22:40
  Speaker 1: not the not the NBA player, slash coach Avery Johnson,
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: but they got eleven returning starters, which is decent. A
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: lot of their offense is kind of returning here. Kansas State,
• 22:50
  Speaker 1: they were a very balanced offense last year, and they
• 22:53
  Speaker 1: still have their top running back, and I believe one
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: of their top wide receivers coming back. So Kansas State,
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: I think they're gonna have that continuity there. I mean,
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: And as far as like new coaches and whatever, like,
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: I'm not really looking into what the coaching situation is
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: for a lot of these guys a lot of these teams.
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: But I mean, if it's something that I know about,
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: except for Belichick obviously, if it's something that I really
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: know about, I guess I'll call it out. But Kansas State,
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: I mean, they were returning guys, they have the same
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: coach there as well. I think there will be some
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: continuity there. Kansas State very balanced offense, so that's good.
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: They can run it, they can throw it either. Their defense,
• 23:26
  Speaker 1: basically the secondary was a huge problem last year. They
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: were a good run defense, not a good pass defense,
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: so I think that might hamper them a little bit.
• 23:33
  Speaker 1: Even though they're at five point five to one here
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: as well, Utah is at six to one, and I
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: actually like Utah in this conference. I think at six
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: to one, I think it's a very very decent bet.
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: They have twelve returning starters, including Isaac Wilson, their quarterback,
• 23:48
  Speaker 1: and I think Utah part of the reason why they
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: struggled so much last year is because of the Cam
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: Rising situation where Cam Rising it seemed like he never
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: would leave man like he was he'd probably been at
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: Utah for six years. He was an old man, and
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: it was like he's our quarterback when he's coming back,
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: and then he was always getting hurt and there was
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: just no continuity with Utah because of that. But now
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: Isaac Wilson is the guy. He did play last year
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: because he was the backup for Cam Rising, but now
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: it's gonna be his show man, so he gets to
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: play and they're returning a lot of guys, so I
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: think that's good. And the other really good thing that
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: I like about Utah is they play physical defense and
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: they run the football, and basically this entire conference doesn't
• 24:28
  Speaker 1: do that. It's mostly like a finesse conference with kind
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: of bad defenses, like air raid type offenses. So Utah
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: brings like a different style of play here, which is
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: why they were so good for a while in the
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: Pac twelve. They've had the same coach for like two
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: decades now too, with his name is escaping me right now.
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: I was gonna say wizen Hunt, but that's not right, Wittingham,
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: Kyle Whittingham, Right, that's what it is. So he's been
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: there like forever, and he runs that he likes to
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: have that physical style of football team. Man, I think
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: that translated well into a conference. It's kind of a
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: pussy conference really, So I like Utah to actually probably
• 25:05
  Speaker 1: win this conference. Matthew, Yeah, West Virginia, Stone cold Locke,
• 25:10
  Speaker 1: that's right. The West Virginia fandom here in the chat.
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: The PAC two is the PAC two is still a thing.
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: I know it's gonna be the PAC twelve again at
• 25:19
  Speaker 1: some point, and they're gonna bring in I think they're
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: gonna get like Boise and some of these other teams
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: are gonna be in the new PAC twelve. But I
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: guess it's still the PAC two for another year. It's
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: just Washington State and Oregon State. I got basically nothing
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: to say about that. They're like not even a conference,
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: they're just orphans. Texas Tech in the Big twelve is
• 25:36
  Speaker 1: six to one. They have twelve returning starters as well,
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: including Morton their quarterback, a couple of wide receivers coming back.
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: Texas Tech their defense was really really bad last year, though,
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: so I don't know if I'm really buying the Texas
• 25:48
  Speaker 1: Tech's defense is all of a sudden it's gonna be
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: a lot better or anything like that. I much prefer
• 25:52
  Speaker 1: Utah at the six to one Brice that Texas Tech. Baylor.
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: I mean, Baylor could be kind of a program on
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: the rise.
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: Again. They're at seven into one here. Baylor, they started
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: doing well. They had a really bad first half last year,
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: but they started playing way better in the second half.
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: They made a Bowl. Personally, I think they should have
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: won the Bowl. They have Sowy Robertson returning at QB.
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: They have thirteen returning starters. Baylor. I mean, they definitely
• 26:16
  Speaker 1: have a chance here. They can make some noise in
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: this conference. The pack to yeah, pack two, that's right,
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: two yeah, not a pack Yeah, whizzing him he's pissing
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: on the holiday Ham.
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: TCU was at eight and a half to one. You
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: know me, if you follow me, I don't really like TCU.
• 26:34
  Speaker 1: I haven't liked TCU for a while. They also only
• 26:36
  Speaker 1: have nine returning starters, which I'm not sure is great,
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: although one of them is Hoover, their quarterback, but like
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: all of his targets are gone. TCU has been just
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: a really really bad defense for a while. Now, I'm
• 26:47
  Speaker 1: not really seeing it for TCU Iowa State, interestingly, because
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: you remember they're playing Kansas State in this first Dublin game,
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: and you see the odds to win this conference, the
• 26:56
  Speaker 1: osbakers are telling you Kansas State significantly better as far
• 26:59
  Speaker 1: as win in the conference, even though Kansas State is
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: a short favorite in the game in Dublin. So interesting,
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: Iowa States all the way down at eleven to one,
• 27:08
  Speaker 1: man and Iowa States returning their quarterback. Beck is still there,
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: but is he really that good?
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: I'm not so sure.
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: Man. They're returning fourteen starters, so returning the running backs
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: that they lost all of their wide receivers, so Beck
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: needs to regain chemistry with their wide receivers. Man, and
• 27:23
  Speaker 1: their defense really wasn't good last year. So you're probably
• 27:26
  Speaker 1: gonna guess where I'm going in this Dublin game. It's
• 27:29
  Speaker 1: gonna be on Saturday. But Iowa State, I think they're
• 27:31
  Speaker 1: gonna take some time to have to rebuild that chemistry
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: there between Beck and his receivers. I'm not sure that
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: their offense is actually really that good, but everybody remembers
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: them winning the Pop Tart Bowl against Matt Campbell's is
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: he at Iowa State?
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: Now, I forget where he is at.
• 27:46
  Speaker 1: I know he was at Pittsburgh for well, I think
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: he is at Iowa State, And al right, he is
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: a solid coach. I agree with you there, but their
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: defense has really really been a problem, and I don't
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: think it's gonna get better, really. But everybody remembers them
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: winning the Pop Tart Bowl. They beat cam Ward Miami
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: and the Pop tar ballber kim Wood left that game
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: somewhere in the second half, just I guess to avoid
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: getting injured or whatever. So I don't think I would
• 28:08
  Speaker 1: put any stock into that game at all. And Iowa State,
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: of course, everybody remembers they were in the conference final
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: last year against Arizona State. Kansas State was in the
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: running and then fell a little bit short towards the end.
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: Remember there was like a cluster there where so many
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: of these teams could potentially make the conference final. Last year,
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: the conference championship, it was like Iowa State, Arizona State,
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: of course, I believe, beat Iowa Stating in the final
• 28:31
  Speaker 1: there and then Kansas State was in the mix. There
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: BYU was in the mix, but anyway, Iowa State. I'm
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: not totally buying it, and the Osbagers don't really seem
• 28:40
  Speaker 1: to either. Kansas is kind of interesting at eighteen to one.
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: Kansas has a new coach, I believe. I forget who
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: it is. Are they listed here? Let me see where's
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: Kansas at If they're even on here? Maybe I'm wrong
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: they I thought they had a new coach, but I
• 28:56
  Speaker 1: guess I'm wrong.
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: Is the Big twelve in here? Let me say the
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: gig twelve?
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the Big twelve looks like it's just Scott Frost
• 29:04
  Speaker 1: at U Seef, which I think he returned to ucf
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: Rich Rod at West Virginia. As the West Virginia guys
• 29:10
  Speaker 1: pointed out, I think those I guess those are the
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: only new coaches there. But Kansas, I know they're doing
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: something where they're like installing like kind of a physical
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: style of defense there at Kansas. So I think maybe
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: they have a new DC or something there. But that's
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: what I'm hearing that they're like kind of trying to
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: go more physical on defense, because I think they probably
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: are looking and seeing what Utah can do.
• 29:31
  Speaker 2: Kansas, I do think they're on a little bit of.
• 29:33
  Speaker 1: The rise there, so I think they could kind of
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: maybe surprise a little bit there BYU Colorado. I mean,
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: these teams have really fallen off. Man at twenty to
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: one for BYU Colorado twenty eight to one. I'm just
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: not really seeing a whole lot going on with those teams.
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: And then you guys, you're West Virginia team there at
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: forty to one, not seeing it. I'm sorry about that.
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: I don't I don't know, you know these teams, it's
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: not really worth talking about many of these teams. I
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: guess UCF, as I said, as Scott Fraut, he's gonna.
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: I believe he's returning to UCF.
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: After I think he was at Nebraska if I'm not mistaken,
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: and it didn't go well from there. But they're all
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: the way down at fifty five to one. They're gonna
• 30:11
  Speaker 1: need to somehow get that program, but to return to
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: its better days, I guess. And Arizona has been one
• 30:18
  Speaker 1: of the better teams in this conference for a while.
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: They're all the way down to forty five to one now,
• 30:22
  Speaker 1: so Arizona has really fallen off as well. The Bowl
• 30:27
  Speaker 1: game names, yeah, I mean I could do a tier
• 30:30
  Speaker 1: list of those. Some of them have changed throughout history
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: as well. Pop Tar Bowl is a pretty interesting one.
• 30:35
  Speaker 1: I mean, the bad Boy Mower's Gasparia Bowl is a
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: ridiculous one, which I think I don't know if bad
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: Boy Mower sponsors that one anymore. And then there was
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: like the San Diego County Credit Union Point Setia Bowl
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: was one of them, which I don't think that one
• 30:50
  Speaker 1: exists anymore or change its name or something. There is
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: a cheese At Bowl. I don't know if that one
• 30:55
  Speaker 1: still exists or not. I think cheese It might have
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: changed which bowl they sponsor more Moritage on West Virginia
• 31:01
  Speaker 1: forty to one. You can go do that if you
• 31:03
  Speaker 1: want just to win. The Big Twelve Big Ten obviously
• 31:07
  Speaker 1: one of the best conferences, man, I mean we're looking
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: at Big ten SEC.
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: Everybody knows these are the top two conferences. These are
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: the teams that.
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: Are gonna get multiple teams into the playoff. Like, do
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: I think the Big Twelve is gonna get multiple teams
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: into the playoff? I don't really think so. I think
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: it's gonna be the winner. So if you want to
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: play Utah to make the playoff or something like that,
• 31:25
  Speaker 1: you probably get a pretty good price on that. I
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: could definitely see that happening. I am a fan of
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: Utah as far as what they're doing there go Big Red.
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: Which team is even big Red at this one? Is
• 31:38
  Speaker 1: that Nebraska?
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: Nate? I don't even know at this point.
• 31:41
  Speaker 1: I don't know what anybody's talking about at this point,
• 31:43
  Speaker 1: but Big ten interesting odds here because Penn State actually
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: has the second best odds at plus two twenty versus
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: Ohio State being at a straight up two to one
• 31:53
  Speaker 1: at plus two hundred.
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: Penn State seems to be the team.
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: Is getting all the hype now man because they're returning
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: fourteen starters. They're really good last year they almost won
• 32:02
  Speaker 1: the were able to win the championship last year, right
• 32:05
  Speaker 1: they lost to Notre Dame I think barely in the
• 32:08
  Speaker 1: semi final. Last year. They're bringing back al or at quarterback,
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: alaar or whatever. They have a lot of returning starters.
• 32:14
  Speaker 1: Of course, Singleton they're running back one wide receiver coming back,
• 32:19
  Speaker 1: so they got guys that are coming back.
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: But I don't know if I'm totally buying Penn's statement.
• 32:24
  Speaker 1: And for some reason, their defense really wasn't as good
• 32:27
  Speaker 1: last year, at least for a while.
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: It wasn't. They did have games where they had big
• 32:31
  Speaker 2: defensive lapses. I don't know if I totally buy al
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: Or either.
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: He seems to make mistakes in like crucial games as well.
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: On Nebraska. Nebraska's playing at Arrowhead I guess before the
• 32:42
  Speaker 1: Chiefs started playing Ryola is on Nebraska and Holgerson, so
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: they're at Nebraska Nebraska in the Big Ten. Now, the
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: Big Ten has way more than ten teams, which is
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: stupid because of course they have these Pacific Coast teams
• 32:59
  Speaker 1: in their conference now too, which is just dumb.
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: Oregon there now.
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: Of course, as of last year, Washington and a USC
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: and UCLA are all in this conference.
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: I would probably not put my money on.
• 33:11
  Speaker 1: Penn State, though I think I like the way that
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: they play.
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: It is James Franklin. It seems like James Franklin.
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: I mean, he's successful like anywhere that he goes, but
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: then he just doesn't win the big games. So that's
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: the Humpy's gonna have to get over. I'm not sure
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: that I buy Ohio State either though, although you know
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: US Ohio State is just really really good, and you
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: know they're just gonna reload constantly. So Ohio State It's
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: not like they're just gonna be, you know, totally out
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: of it or anything like that. I mean, they have
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: the best odds to win the Big Ten, even though
• 33:38
  Speaker 1: they lost Will Howard to the draft obviously, and they
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: only have nine returning starters, so I think there're gonna
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: be some growing pains early on. But it is still
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: Ryan Day. I mean, they certainly have a chance. But
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: I don't know if I'm totally seeing it. But I
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: don't really like any of these teams that much, man,
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: because Oregon of course lost their quarterback too, and Dylan Gabriel,
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: and I don't think Oregon is a very good defensive team,
• 33:59
  Speaker 1: so and they only have five returning starters. So I
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: don't know if I'm seeing a whole lot on Oregon.
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: But of course, these programs that constantly reload when they
• 34:07
  Speaker 1: have few returning starters, sometimes they just they start coalescing
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: and doing better once they get chemistry later in the season.
• 34:14
  Speaker 2: Oregon's at plus three.
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: Seventy Michigan at plus nine hundred is kind of interesting, man,
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: because Michigan's kind of always there. They have thirteen returning starters,
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: including Warren who's one of their quarterbacks. Some wide receivers
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: coming back some. Michigan does have a lot of returning starters.
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: I think it's gonna be because how long ago did
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: Harriball leave Michigan. Michigan, I forget who their coaches now,
• 34:37
  Speaker 1: but they're gonna be have a multiple year coach now
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: there and they're at nine to one, and they're always
• 34:43
  Speaker 1: pretty much always in the mix there. Man, Michigan like
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: always a program that is able to recruit. I mean
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: I might I might recommend taking the shot with Michigan
• 34:53
  Speaker 1: to actually win the Big Ten, man, and I could
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: definitely see that happening.
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: I mean, I'm not really sold on these other teams, even.
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: Though I know Penn State probably kind of still the
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: team to beat, just because they have so many returning
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: starters there, and you're gonna have to deal with the
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: experience where they ran through the playoffs last year, so
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: they have experience in those big games. I know, they
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: lost the conference championship to Oregon last year, right and
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: then if you remember, I was not an Oregon guy
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: at all last year and I faded them. I recommended
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: fading them with Ohio State, which is one of my
• 35:22
  Speaker 1: strongest plays as far as how I felt about it.
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: At least I didn't put that much more money on
• 35:27
  Speaker 1: it early this year, but I thought Ohio State was
• 35:30
  Speaker 1: gonna beat them in the playoffs, and that is what happened.
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: But yeah, Ohio State, I think I know the experience.
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: My lack of experience might come back to bite them.
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: USC is at sixteen to one here. I don't know
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: what USC is really even doing here. I don't know
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: who their quarterback is at this point.
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: They lost Mitch Moss. I think it was there.
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: He's I forget where he is now, but he's on
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: some other team now. They don't have a lot of
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: returning starters with eight, so I don't know that I
• 35:55
  Speaker 1: see USC totally doing a whole lot. And the way
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: that these Pacific Coast teams have to cross countries man
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: or across the country, I think it's a little bit difficult.
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: And then, as you mentioned Nebraska, but they're all the
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: way down at thirty to one here in Nebraska, they
• 36:09
  Speaker 1: have nine returning starters, which does include Ryola, their quarterback.
• 36:12
  Speaker 2: Who thinks that he's Patrick Mahomes.
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: Basically, I'm not sure that I love that guy, and
• 36:16
  Speaker 1: he doesn't have any of his wide receivers coming back,
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: maybe some coaching continuity there, but I'm not thinking there's
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: gonna be a whole lot there. Illinois at thirty to
• 36:25
  Speaker 1: one maybe somewhat interesting just because they were attorney so
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: many starters. They have a lot of continuity. Alt Meyer quarterback,
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: running back, wide receiver, a bunch of guys returning for Illinois.
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: They just weren't a very good team last year, although
• 36:37
  Speaker 1: I think they kind of underperformed a bit last year,
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: to be honest. So Illinois, I mean, maybe there's a
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: shot to kind of make some make some noise there.
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: Usc has Maeva Where was where was he at last year?
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: I gotta like figure out where these new quarterbacks are.
• 36:54
  Speaker 1: I know they oh speaking of Jadeen uh, not jade
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: and Daniels. But Jalen Daniels I believe is the Kansas
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: quarterback right. Let me see, is he on the list here?
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: I didn't even look with Kansas. Yeah, Jalen Daniels, not
• 37:09
  Speaker 1: Jadeen Daniels. So he's returning for Kansas, by the way,
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: I forgot to mention that. But they don't have a
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: lot of returning starters at all, with only six but
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: Jalen Daniels. Not Jaden Daniels is returning for them, But yeah, Illinois.
• 37:23
  Speaker 2: Maybe in dressing.
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: Iowa seems to always play like a really solid physical
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: defense at thirty five to one year, but their offense
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: is really not very good usually kind of the style
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: they play. They do have ten returning starters, don't have
• 37:35
  Speaker 1: a returning quarterback.
• 37:36
  Speaker 2: But with Iowa, I don't even know if it matters
• 37:38
  Speaker 2: that much.
• 37:38
  Speaker 1: But they don't have any returning running backs either, and
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: not a whole lot returning on the defense, only about half,
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: So we'll see if Iowa can really do anything. Yeah,
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: Kansas was on fire at the end of the year
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: last year, so I think they're Yeah, they're trending in
• 37:53
  Speaker 1: the right direction. Indiana, everybody remembers they made the playoffs
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: last year. He had that ridiculous season last year. But
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: I was telling you how massively overperforming Indiana was last year,
• 38:04
  Speaker 1: and they had all those guys that had transferred over
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: from Ohio. They faced a really really soft schedule last
• 38:09
  Speaker 1: year too.
• 38:10
  Speaker 2: I was saying, I did not buy Indiana at all.
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: But they don't have a lot of returning starters either
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: at eight, so I don't see a whole lot going
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: on with Indiana here at all. I think they're gonna
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: return to somewhat irrelevance here. Colorado, by the way, of course,
• 38:23
  Speaker 1: they lost Sugar Sanders and Dion Sanders is like, I
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: don't know, has cancer or something, So I don't know
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: what's going on with Colorado, which I forgot to talk
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: about them in the Big twelve, but I don't see
• 38:32
  Speaker 1: them doing a whole lot. They lost Travis Hunter as
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: well to the draft. Obviously, they only have eight returning starters,
• 38:38
  Speaker 1: so I don't think Colorado is gonna be any good anyway.
• 38:42
  Speaker 1: Back to the Big ten, and then you do have
• 38:44
  Speaker 1: I don't know, Washington at fifty to one, Michigan State
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: and Wisconsint.
• 38:49
  Speaker 2: I mean, you kind of expect them to be.
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: Like competitive because they always kind of have been in football,
• 38:53
  Speaker 1: But Michigan State's all the way down at plus twelve thousand,
• 38:57
  Speaker 1: and then Wisconsin at plus twenty thousand, which is just
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: really really long odds on those teams. Man, it's just
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: kind of wild to see that. I'm not expecting a
• 39:07
  Speaker 1: whole lot out of either of those teams. For whatever reason,
• 39:10
  Speaker 1: I haven't been totally following them at Michigan State they
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: brought over. I think they brought over some of the
• 39:16
  Speaker 1: guys from Oregon State last year, like Chiles at quarterback,
• 39:19
  Speaker 1: and they brought over his coach from Oregon State, so
• 39:22
  Speaker 1: they were seemingly trying to get.
• 39:24
  Speaker 2: A rebuild going there. So I don't know.
• 39:25
  Speaker 1: The Michigan State really you should have odds that are
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: as long as they are. I mean, I don't think
• 39:29
  Speaker 1: they're gonna win the conference, but they have worse odds
• 39:31
  Speaker 1: in Minnesota.
• 39:32
  Speaker 2: Seems odds to me.
• 39:34
  Speaker 1: And then Wisconsin just has dropped way off the face
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: of the earth man and they were a football juggernaut
• 39:39
  Speaker 1: for so long, but they're kind of rebuilding I guess too.
• 39:41
  Speaker 1: They only got nine returning starters year. I don't know
• 39:44
  Speaker 1: what's going on with Wisconsin and not their quarterback. Wisconsin
• 39:49
  Speaker 1: used to be this like power like running team with
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: good defense, and they seem like they don't don't even
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: do that anymore, Like they try to throw the ball.
• 39:57
  Speaker 2: They went with like a spread offense. They gotta get back.
• 39:59
  Speaker 1: To the as a cality man, because usually you're gonna
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: see physical teams here win the Big Ten. And then
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: U c. L A Is at two hundred to one
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: as well, I guess is what that is? Crazy long
• 40:10
  Speaker 1: as Ucla I believe has Tennessee's quarterback, I believe went
• 40:14
  Speaker 1: over there. What the hell is his name again? I
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: forget his name. The dude to us at Tennessee. I
• 40:20
  Speaker 1: don't remember his name, some Samoan name. I don't think
• 40:23
  Speaker 1: he's a very good quarterback though he didn't do well
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: with Tennessee really particularly, but he's gonna be at UCLA.
• 40:28
  Speaker 2: Now. We'll see if he has any sort of resurgence
• 40:31
  Speaker 2: there with them. But I kind of doubt it Big
• 40:35
  Speaker 2: ten going through the buck Eyes.
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: I mean, they have the best odds to win it,
• 40:40
  Speaker 1: but there's still an underdog against the rest of the
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: field to win it. Man. I mean, I'm I.
• 40:44
  Speaker 2: Think it kind of goes through Penn State.
• 40:46
  Speaker 1: But Penn State has a lot of hype this year,
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: so I'm not sure that I see that. I mean,
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: for some reason, something is telling me Michigan might be
• 40:54
  Speaker 1: the way to look in this conference, man, But I
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: don't know either Michigan or Penn State really. I don't know.
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: We have c us A Liberty is the favorite. I
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: don't really know a whole lot about what's going on
• 41:04
  Speaker 1: in the c USA these days. Uh, the c USA
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: I think has some newcomers to their conference as well,
• 41:11
  Speaker 1: or maybe that'll happen next year.
• 41:12
  Speaker 2: Don't know what's going on with them.
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: The Mountain West is considered to be one of the
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: power conferences now, but Mountain West is basically Boise States
• 41:19
  Speaker 1: to lose.
• 41:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Nico, I am a Leva. Yeah he he told.
• 41:23
  Speaker 1: Tennessee, I am a Leva and then and then then
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: he went to uh to u c l A. Penn
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: State always chokes. Yeah, that's James James Franklin type of thing,
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: Charles with an empty comment, no comment, which is basically
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: what you have with a Mountain West. I mean Boise State.
• 41:39
  Speaker 1: We all know they lost Ashton Genty, their superstar running
• 41:43
  Speaker 1: back to the Oakland Raiders or the sorry, the Las
• 41:46
  Speaker 1: Vegas Raiders, I'm sorry, Matthew or whoever we see still
• 41:51
  Speaker 1: in the isn't Yeah Matthew right, I don't even remember, man,
• 41:54
  Speaker 1: I forget everybody's name, Yeah, Matthew, who I believe is
• 41:57
  Speaker 1: the West Virginia slash Raider fan there. I don't know
• 42:00
  Speaker 1: the gent d is gonna do that well in the NFL,
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: but we'll see. But Boise State, I mean this is
• 42:06
  Speaker 1: still their conference to lose. Man, they're returning a bunch
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: of other guys. I think Boise is not even listed
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: here because I guess the Mountain West is not considered
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: to be a power conference. But I think they're returning
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: a lot of guys. There's a reason why they were
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: a favorite like this, and I think UNLV is gonna
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: take a step back. Man. I think UNLV lost some
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: of their guys. They might even have a new coach
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: coming in at UNLV. Is that actually right?
• 42:27
  Speaker 2: I don't even know.
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Dan mullen is coming in who didn't really do
• 42:32
  Speaker 1: well at Florida. I don't think.
• 42:34
  Speaker 2: I don't even remember him.
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: Being at Mississippi State really, but UNLV their coach transferred
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: up to like a bigger school. I think, so UNLV
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: they're gonna be going through like a transition phase here.
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: So I don't really see them really competing here. And
• 42:46
  Speaker 1: then it's like what other team is gonna compete with
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: Boise in this conference? Like, I just don't really see it.
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: I think Utah State might have a bronco Menden Hall
• 42:54
  Speaker 1: going back to this area Utah State, but they're at
• 42:57
  Speaker 1: eighty to one, like are they really gonna do anything.
• 42:59
  Speaker 1: San Diego used to be a force in this conference.
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: If they're at thirty to one, I don't know what
• 43:03
  Speaker 1: they're even doing there. Hawaii is actually kind of on
• 43:06
  Speaker 1: the rise, as they've had Chang as their coach there
• 43:08
  Speaker 1: for a while. Hawaii kind of always has a little
• 43:10
  Speaker 1: bit of a weird edge because teams have to travel
• 43:13
  Speaker 1: out to Hawaii, so it's a weird travel spot. But
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: then Hawaii does have to travel to the mainland, so
• 43:17
  Speaker 1: that kind of hurts them too.
• 43:20
  Speaker 2: I don't know what's gonna happen with Hawaii.
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: And then I think Bronco Mendenoll I think left New
• 43:23
  Speaker 1: Mexico to go to Utah State. So New Mexico down
• 43:27
  Speaker 1: at one hundred and fifty to one, they're probably gonna
• 43:29
  Speaker 1: do absolutely nothing. Hawaii probably should be a little bit
• 43:32
  Speaker 1: better though they're twenty to one. But are they gonna
• 43:35
  Speaker 1: be able to make noise in this conference and actually
• 43:37
  Speaker 1: like compete to win this conference?
• 43:38
  Speaker 2: I don't think so.
• 43:39
  Speaker 1: San Jose State is crazily the third best odds at
• 43:43
  Speaker 1: seven and a half to one there and Fresno is
• 43:45
  Speaker 1: at eleven to one, Colorado State sixteen to one, an
• 43:48
  Speaker 1: Air Force sixteen to one. Air Force always kind of
• 43:50
  Speaker 1: tries to throw people off with a triple option.
• 43:53
  Speaker 2: But Dan Mullen was great a Mississippi State.
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: All right, Well we'll see what he can do at
• 43:57
  Speaker 1: UNLV when he basically doesn't have any SEC recruiting channels.
• 44:01
  Speaker 1: It doesn't really have any like, it doesn't really have
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: as good of a roster there. San Jose State. I mean,
• 44:07
  Speaker 1: I think they're a really good offense and not a
• 44:09
  Speaker 1: good defense. Don't know what they're doing this high up
• 44:12
  Speaker 1: in the odds though, And they did compete against some
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: better teams last year at some points last year though,
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: and they've been making some bowls recently, so I guess
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: they're kind of a program on the rise. Colorado State
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: at sixteen to one. Again, sometimes you see them making
• 44:24
  Speaker 1: a little bit of noise. I'm not sure that I
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: really see it either. Fresno is at eleven to one,
• 44:29
  Speaker 1: but I think they're in Fresno I think is in
• 44:31
  Speaker 1: kind of a rebuild mode as well. So yeah, this conference,
• 44:34
  Speaker 1: I expect boys to win the conference. I just don't
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: see how they don't. We got SEC, which is of
• 44:40
  Speaker 1: course the conference that everybody wants to really talk about
• 44:43
  Speaker 1: Texas is getting all the hype there. At plus two
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: seventy here, they have the best odds to win the SEC.
• 44:49
  Speaker 1: They have a lot of returning production as well, including
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: arch Manning is going to be the quarterback, and he
• 44:56
  Speaker 1: has some experience. He played in some of their games
• 44:58
  Speaker 1: last year because they were playing him. They don't have
• 45:01
  Speaker 1: him listed as a returning starter here because he was
• 45:03
  Speaker 1: technically not their starter. It was quinn Ewers who now
• 45:07
  Speaker 1: got drafted. But arch Manning is gonna be the quarterback.
• 45:09
  Speaker 1: He does have experience. They're returning more than half of
• 45:13
  Speaker 1: their defense at least, and we remember Texas was a
• 45:15
  Speaker 1: very good defense last year, so one of the top
• 45:18
  Speaker 1: defenses in the country, so their defense should still be
• 45:20
  Speaker 1: really really good again. They're gonna need some offensive continuity though,
• 45:24
  Speaker 1: so we'll see if they can get it. Arch Manning,
• 45:27
  Speaker 1: though he does have experience. He's played in this system
• 45:29
  Speaker 1: for a while. Like I said, he got to play
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: some of the games where viewers wasn't playing, so Manning
• 45:34
  Speaker 1: some experience there. Are they worth that price tag? I'm
• 45:38
  Speaker 1: not entirely sure that I see Texas winning the SEC.
• 45:42
  Speaker 1: They did win it last year, I believe right and
• 45:45
  Speaker 1: I was kind of a Texas fan. I thought they
• 45:47
  Speaker 1: were a little bit under the radar last year because
• 45:49
  Speaker 1: they just didn't have a great offense necessarily, and they
• 45:51
  Speaker 1: had a good.
• 45:52
  Speaker 2: Defense, and that's the kind of profile that I like.
• 45:54
  Speaker 1: So I thought Texas was a decent long shot to
• 45:56
  Speaker 1: win the championship last year.
• 45:58
  Speaker 2: Didn't work out that way.
• 46:00
  Speaker 1: They had a bad turnover late in the game against
• 46:01
  Speaker 1: Ohio State Georgia, who everybody seems to kind of be
• 46:05
  Speaker 1: ignoring Georgia to me, and they're at the second best
• 46:07
  Speaker 1: odds here at plus.
• 46:08
  Speaker 2: Three point thirty.
• 46:10
  Speaker 1: Georgia, I mean they got a decent shot to do it, man.
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: I mean they have Kirby Smart still there. I mean,
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: I know sometimes he's not so smart. But Georgia, I
• 46:18
  Speaker 1: mean they have all the recruiting channels. They're always a
• 46:20
  Speaker 1: very strong defensive team, which I don't really see that
• 46:23
  Speaker 1: not being the case here Georgia only seven returning starters
• 46:28
  Speaker 1: are just a little bit questionable, and not a lot
• 46:31
  Speaker 1: of their defense attorney.
• 46:32
  Speaker 2: But I think Georgia, I mean they're gonna be able
• 46:34
  Speaker 2: to reload.
• 46:34
  Speaker 1: But remember their quarterback is sort of returning because it's
• 46:38
  Speaker 1: gunner stocked and he was backing up Carson Beck there,
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: which is why he's not listed here. But Stockton played
• 46:44
  Speaker 1: when Beck was hurt, and he played in the playoffs,
• 46:46
  Speaker 1: so Stockton does at least have some experience there. So
• 46:50
  Speaker 1: I could see Georgia making some noise here. Yeah, I
• 46:54
  Speaker 1: don't trust Kirby. I guess he's a big pink round creature.
• 46:58
  Speaker 1: I guess hoping to try to cap this video at
• 47:01
  Speaker 1: about an hour, by the way, so we'll see you
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: can get the rest of this done. But Georgia and
• 47:05
  Speaker 1: Alabama because they kind of fell off last year. Remember
• 47:08
  Speaker 1: Georgia just looked bad in the playoffs last year. They
• 47:11
  Speaker 1: lost to Notre Dame, just had a bad game there.
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: Alabama didn't even make the playoffs last year. Though. You
• 47:17
  Speaker 1: know me, I was saying that I thought Alabama should
• 47:19
  Speaker 1: make the playoffs because the SEC. You know, I thought
• 47:24
  Speaker 1: the SEC is still a really strong conference. Man, I
• 47:26
  Speaker 1: thought they should have gotten one more team in, Like,
• 47:28
  Speaker 1: do you really think Alabama was worse than like SMU
• 47:33
  Speaker 1: or teams like that last year? I mean, come on,
• 47:35
  Speaker 1: there's no way anyway.
• 47:38
  Speaker 2: By the way, I should have said Mountain West.
• 47:39
  Speaker 1: I think Boise if they win the Mountain West and
• 47:43
  Speaker 1: they have like a one or zero loss season. They'll
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: be in the playoff again as well, because that's just
• 47:48
  Speaker 1: the way that it works. SEC is probably gonna get
• 47:51
  Speaker 1: at least three teams into the playoff. I would imagine
• 47:53
  Speaker 1: Alabama again. They're at three point eight to one here
• 47:56
  Speaker 1: plus three eighty. I mean, they could make some noise here.
• 47:59
  Speaker 1: It's gonna be their.
• 48:00
  Speaker 2: Second year under Kalin de bor So.
• 48:01
  Speaker 1: Remember he was a first year coach for them last
• 48:04
  Speaker 1: year because he came over from Washington obviously when he
• 48:07
  Speaker 1: was a Wash and he had his quarterback there in
• 48:09
  Speaker 1: Pennox and whatever. He didn't have those guys anymore, so
• 48:12
  Speaker 1: he came over to Alabama, had to institute a system there.
• 48:16
  Speaker 1: But I think a second year coach usually they take
• 48:18
  Speaker 1: a step forward. So you know, that first year that
• 48:21
  Speaker 1: he's there is kind of a transition here. And Alabama
• 48:23
  Speaker 1: was still pretty good. I mean, they have the recruiting channels.
• 48:25
  Speaker 1: They always reload. It's Alabama, So I think Alabama will
• 48:28
  Speaker 1: take a step forward. I kind of expect them to
• 48:31
  Speaker 1: do something and make the playoffs. Here. They have fourteen
• 48:33
  Speaker 1: returning starters, even though they don't have a quarterback returning here,
• 48:36
  Speaker 1: I guess, but they have running back, wide receivers, almost
• 48:39
  Speaker 1: their entire defenses returning in Alabama probably gonna be pretty
• 48:44
  Speaker 1: good defensively here. So Alabama, he definitely can't write them
• 48:46
  Speaker 1: off LSU. I know there were a lot of professionals
• 48:49
  Speaker 1: that like LSU not only to maybe even win the SEC,
• 48:52
  Speaker 1: but just to get into the playoffs and actually make
• 48:54
  Speaker 1: noise in the playoffs.
• 48:55
  Speaker 2: Because LSU, I mean, they have Brian Kelly.
• 48:58
  Speaker 1: As their coach. He's as coach to me, I think
• 49:02
  Speaker 1: he always kind of falls apart though Brian Kelly like
• 49:05
  Speaker 1: he seems to just kind of he always fails in
• 49:08
  Speaker 1: like that first game of the season, and then to me,
• 49:09
  Speaker 1: it seems like he kind of fails in like the
• 49:11
  Speaker 1: bigger games as well. Didn't like him when he was
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: at Notre Dame. Don't really like him here with LSU.
• 49:16
  Speaker 1: Never really liked LSU or Notre Dame. My apologies, but
• 49:20
  Speaker 1: LSU does have Noosemayer returning was their quarterback, who's a
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: very good quarterback, very experienced quarterback.
• 49:26
  Speaker 2: Excuse a very experienced quarterback.
• 49:28
  Speaker 1: One of his wide receivers is back, and Durham, the
• 49:31
  Speaker 1: running back is back as well, so kind of their
• 49:35
  Speaker 1: top skill position players are kind of back for LSU.
• 49:38
  Speaker 2: They're at seven to one here.
• 49:39
  Speaker 1: LSU's defense has been really bad over the last couple
• 49:42
  Speaker 1: of years, which is weird because they're known as a
• 49:44
  Speaker 1: defensive team in the SEC. But their defense has been bad,
• 49:46
  Speaker 1: so they're gonna have to clean that up. But they
• 49:48
  Speaker 1: definitely have a shot in the SEC here. I mean,
• 49:53
  Speaker 1: to me, it's actually difficult to figure out what's gonna
• 49:55
  Speaker 1: happen in the SEC here man, I mean, I'm kind
• 49:58
  Speaker 1: of thinking Georgia might be able to do it. And
• 50:01
  Speaker 1: remember Kirby Smart by the way back on Georgia. Georgia
• 50:04
  Speaker 1: lost three games last year I think, and they have
• 50:07
  Speaker 1: only lost five games and they go over the last
• 50:09
  Speaker 1: three seasons under Kirby Smart, which is insane. Texas A
• 50:13
  Speaker 1: and M at fifteen to one, they are in the mix.
• 50:16
  Speaker 1: I mean, I think they made the conference championship last year,
• 50:19
  Speaker 1: right and lost to Texas I believe is what happened,
• 50:22
  Speaker 1: right or did they lose the prior game?
• 50:23
  Speaker 2: I don't remember.
• 50:24
  Speaker 1: But they have fifteen returning starters, including Read their quarterback.
• 50:27
  Speaker 1: They got a running back returning. They don't have any
• 50:29
  Speaker 1: of the wide receivers, returning eight players on deepense returning,
• 50:34
  Speaker 1: So A and M a lot of returning starters. And
• 50:36
  Speaker 1: I think they have Mike Elko there at coach now,
• 50:40
  Speaker 1: and he hasn't been there for that long and he's
• 50:41
  Speaker 1: coming in instituting his system. So I think there's gonna
• 50:44
  Speaker 1: be some more continuity there. So A and M as
• 50:47
  Speaker 1: far as like a long shot, I mean I think
• 50:48
  Speaker 1: A and M might be a decent way to look
• 50:50
  Speaker 1: maybe a long shot there. I think they can compete
• 50:52
  Speaker 1: for sure. Ole Miss is probably gonna take a step back,
• 50:55
  Speaker 1: even though I assume they still have Lane Kiffin there.
• 50:57
  Speaker 1: But obviously they don't have Jackson Dart there anymore.
• 51:00
  Speaker 2: Who you know, I like him.
• 51:02
  Speaker 1: I don't think they have a whole lot of returning production.
• 51:03
  Speaker 1: They're at sixteen to one. Seems like the price is
• 51:07
  Speaker 1: probably still too high on old Miss there. Like I
• 51:10
  Speaker 1: don't think there's any value there with them Florida at
• 51:13
  Speaker 1: eighteen to one. Interest in Florida, I mean they have
• 51:17
  Speaker 1: Lagway there, DJ Lagway their quarterback. I believe it's still there,
• 51:21
  Speaker 1: so he's returning Florida. I think they're a little bit
• 51:23
  Speaker 1: on the up up and coming again. They have thirteen
• 51:26
  Speaker 1: returning starters, are just pretty good. Last couple of years.
• 51:30
  Speaker 1: I think they were better than maybe what their performance was,
• 51:32
  Speaker 1: So I do think Florida has a shot to make
• 51:35
  Speaker 1: some noise here at eighteen to one. Tennessee they're gonna
• 51:38
  Speaker 1: have a new quarterback there at twenty five to one.
• 51:40
  Speaker 1: Can't really be worse than I am Alava, I don't think,
• 51:43
  Speaker 1: but well, I mean, we'll see what happens with Tennessee.
• 51:45
  Speaker 1: I'm not expecting a whole lot. South Carolina seems to
• 51:48
  Speaker 1: get a lot of hype because they have Sellers is
• 51:51
  Speaker 1: that as the name they have their quarterback, But they're
• 51:52
  Speaker 1: all the way down at twenty five to one.
• 51:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Leonora Sellers. He is a good quarterback.
• 51:57
  Speaker 1: They have one wide receiver returning, no running backs, a
• 52:00
  Speaker 1: lot of their defense returning. South Carolina they're.
• 52:03
  Speaker 2: At twenty five to one.
• 52:04
  Speaker 1: I think they're a little bit hyped though, because everybody
• 52:07
  Speaker 1: seems to like Sellers, and he looked really good towards
• 52:09
  Speaker 1: the end of last year. He had that game where
• 52:11
  Speaker 1: he looked pretty good competed against Clemson last year in
• 52:14
  Speaker 1: the rivalry week towards the end of the season. I'm
• 52:17
  Speaker 1: not really sure that I see South Carolina really doing
• 52:20
  Speaker 1: a whole lot there. I actually think they're overvalued. Oklahoma
• 52:23
  Speaker 1: at twenty eight to one. I mean, I don't even
• 52:25
  Speaker 1: know who Oklahoma is gonna have at their quarterback now.
• 52:27
  Speaker 1: I think they're kind of in a transition period Oklahoma.
• 52:30
  Speaker 1: I don't know that they're really built to be in
• 52:32
  Speaker 1: the SEC, to be honest, because they haven't really been
• 52:34
  Speaker 1: much of a defensive team. I don't think they're more
• 52:36
  Speaker 1: of like an offensive kind of finesse team. Auburn I
• 52:41
  Speaker 1: think underperformed big time last year and they're at twenty
• 52:44
  Speaker 1: eight to one. I mean, I could see Auburn maybe
• 52:45
  Speaker 1: having some value because they have good recruiting, they usually
• 52:48
  Speaker 1: are pretty competitive. They have eleven returning starters, their quarterbacks
• 52:52
  Speaker 1: not returning. But Auburn could be worth a look there, man.
• 52:57
  Speaker 1: I mean again, I think they really underperformed last year,
• 52:59
  Speaker 1: and they lost a couple of bets last year that
• 53:01
  Speaker 1: I think they should have won those games, and it
• 53:03
  Speaker 1: really pissed me off.
• 53:04
  Speaker 2: Just some weird, weird like freak turnovers.
• 53:07
  Speaker 1: I think Auburn because they've kind of fallen off and
• 53:09
  Speaker 1: people just don't even consider them anymore.
• 53:12
  Speaker 2: Really, I think Auburn.
• 53:14
  Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not expecting them to win the SEC
• 53:16
  Speaker 1: or anything like that, but I think they could definitely
• 53:18
  Speaker 1: be better this year. Missouri lost Cook their quarterback there
• 53:21
  Speaker 1: at sixty to one, Arkansas at one hundred and fifty
• 53:25
  Speaker 1: to one, They've like really fallen off again.
• 53:28
  Speaker 2: I don't know what's going on with them. I don't
• 53:29
  Speaker 2: know what's going on.
• 53:30
  Speaker 1: With really the rest of these teams. Vandy had that
• 53:31
  Speaker 1: kind of surprise year last year, but they're two hundred
• 53:34
  Speaker 1: to one, not expecting really anything. And then Kentucky two
• 53:37
  Speaker 1: hundred and fifty to one, even though Kentucky had some
• 53:39
  Speaker 1: surprise games last year too, I think they're falling off
• 53:42
  Speaker 1: as well. In the Mississippi State five hundred to one.
• 53:45
  Speaker 1: Really expected to just be a total dorm At college games,
• 53:50
  Speaker 1: I haven't for a while, but yeah, I've gone to
• 53:51
  Speaker 1: some BC games against Florida State, against Army.
• 53:56
  Speaker 2: I don't even remember. I've been to some.
• 53:58
  Speaker 1: I've definitely been at some college football games there at
• 54:00
  Speaker 1: Boston College. That tends to be.
• 54:03
  Speaker 2: Where I go.
• 54:03
  Speaker 1: I mean, they're the team basically in the Boston area,
• 54:06
  Speaker 1: but it's not easy to get too really, you gotta
• 54:08
  Speaker 1: go out to Chestnut Hill because they're they're not really
• 54:11
  Speaker 1: in the city of Boston. They're outside in this like
• 54:13
  Speaker 1: kind of rich area where I think the the hood,
• 54:17
  Speaker 1: like the hood element is not reached over where BC
• 54:22
  Speaker 1: is yet they're kind of up on a hill. They're
• 54:24
  Speaker 1: a Catholic school out there.
• 54:27
  Speaker 2: But anyway to me, I might go with Georgia. I'm
• 54:31
  Speaker 2: in in the SEC. I don't know.
• 54:33
  Speaker 1: I mean, I think they kind of underperformed of it
• 54:34
  Speaker 1: towards the end of last year. They always just kind
• 54:36
  Speaker 1: of reload, get stacked. They got a quarterback with some
• 54:40
  Speaker 1: experience there, so I'm kind of seeing that they might
• 54:43
  Speaker 1: make some noise there. I mean, I still wouldn't be
• 54:45
  Speaker 1: shocked if Texas won it. Obviously, Alabama LSU do have
• 54:49
  Speaker 1: a shot there, and I kind of do like Texas
• 54:51
  Speaker 1: A and M and you know, Florida. I'm not expecting
• 54:55
  Speaker 1: them to win the conference, but they might do something. Sunbelt.
• 54:59
  Speaker 1: I don't even know what's goinging on in the Sun Belt.
• 55:00
  Speaker 1: Marshall still at thirty to one to win this conference
• 55:04
  Speaker 1: after their entire team left, tells you this is not
• 55:07
  Speaker 1: a good conference. JMU has the best odds and they're
• 55:09
  Speaker 1: pretty new to the FBS football the plus two sixty
• 55:13
  Speaker 1: Louisiana La Fey yet or just Louisiana now is at
• 55:16
  Speaker 1: seven to one, and then Texas State seven and a
• 55:19
  Speaker 1: half to one, South Alabama seven a half to one.
• 55:21
  Speaker 1: In Georgia Southern seven and a half to one. Don't
• 55:24
  Speaker 1: know what's going on with those teams. I haven't really
• 55:25
  Speaker 1: looked into it, but those are the odds there for
• 55:27
  Speaker 1: the Sun Belt, and that is it, and then we'll
• 55:30
  Speaker 1: look at a I'm gonna talk about winning the championship
• 55:33
  Speaker 1: before we get out of here, which is where I
• 55:35
  Speaker 1: have to talk about Notre Dame because they're not in
• 55:37
  Speaker 1: a conference.
• 55:37
  Speaker 2: The team name, which team name? Are people hyped on?
• 55:43
  Speaker 1: South Carolina? The game Cox? Yeah, Saturday is for the Cox, man.
• 55:47
  Speaker 1: You see that meme with that chick in the stands
• 55:50
  Speaker 1: with Saturday's for the Cox. Nice part of town. Well
• 55:54
  Speaker 1: it's I mean, it's still a party school though. Man,
• 55:57
  Speaker 1: you got like frat boys over there, but at least
• 55:59
  Speaker 1: they're not.
• 55:59
  Speaker 2: The hood over there.
• 56:02
  Speaker 1: It's still you know, it's frat boys party and yeah
• 56:04
  Speaker 1: the game Cocks. Yeah, and yeah, there is like a
• 56:09
  Speaker 1: tailgate scene over at Boston College as well.
• 56:12
  Speaker 2: That kind of gets overlooked.
• 56:13
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's definitely a party environment over there to
• 56:16
  Speaker 1: win the entire championship. Ohio State, even though they were
• 56:20
  Speaker 1: the winner last year. No Massachusetts schools. Oh yeah, you
• 56:23
  Speaker 1: really think BC is gonna win.
• 56:24
  Speaker 2: The national championship?
• 56:25
  Speaker 1: Hell though, I hate that law though, by the way,
• 56:28
  Speaker 1: that you can't bet on any Massachusetts schools in Massachusetts,
• 56:32
  Speaker 1: so you have to find ways to kind of get
• 56:33
  Speaker 1: around that. Offshore books is what I would recommend, but
• 56:40
  Speaker 1: a lot of the offshore books you can't really access
• 56:42
  Speaker 1: anymore either. It's very much bullshit. Ohio State has the
• 56:46
  Speaker 1: best odds to win the championship again at five point
• 56:49
  Speaker 1: five to one plus five fifty.
• 56:50
  Speaker 2: I mean, this field is wide open.
• 56:54
  Speaker 1: Do I think Ohio State is gonna repeat as champion? No,
• 56:57
  Speaker 1: I don't really think so. I mean, they don't have
• 56:59
  Speaker 1: will how anymore. I don't really see it. They're gonna
• 57:01
  Speaker 1: have to have it a quarterback. I think with more
• 57:03
  Speaker 1: experience to do it. Texas certainly could. I mean, they
• 57:07
  Speaker 1: were on the CUSP last year, and they do have
• 57:09
  Speaker 1: at least Manning who.
• 57:10
  Speaker 2: Has experience, although his big game experience is kind of lacking.
• 57:14
  Speaker 1: Penn State, I know there's the hype there, but at
• 57:16
  Speaker 1: least Aller did play in the semi finals last year, right,
• 57:20
  Speaker 1: so they out of these teams they had, Penn State
• 57:23
  Speaker 1: actually has the most experienced and they're at.
• 57:25
  Speaker 2: Seven to one.
• 57:27
  Speaker 1: Penn State. I mean, I know they seem to be
• 57:29
  Speaker 1: too hyped, and I know James Franklin seems he never
• 57:32
  Speaker 1: is able to win the whole thing. But out of
• 57:35
  Speaker 1: these top teams, I think they at least have more experience.
• 57:38
  Speaker 1: Texas I think is gonna be good because of their defense.
• 57:41
  Speaker 1: Mostly Georgia had seven and a half to one. I mean,
• 57:45
  Speaker 1: obviously they got a shot and gunner stocked and at
• 57:47
  Speaker 1: least did play in the playoffs last year, so there
• 57:50
  Speaker 1: is a chance there. Clemson again has a lot of experience,
• 57:53
  Speaker 1: a lot of attorney starters, but they played kind of
• 57:55
  Speaker 1: a weak schedule in the ACC. So at ten to one,
• 57:58
  Speaker 1: I don't really see that happening. Ten to one on Alabama.
• 58:02
  Speaker 1: I see all these teams still making the playoffs, most
• 58:05
  Speaker 1: likely the Ohio State, Texas, I mean, out of these conferences,
• 58:08
  Speaker 1: I think probably are gonna get three or four out
• 58:10
  Speaker 1: of the SEC. Probably you're gonna see Texas, Georgia, I
• 58:13
  Speaker 1: expect Alabama to return to the playoff field this year,
• 58:16
  Speaker 1: and I think LSU you may see them make it.
• 58:19
  Speaker 1: There's an outside shot maybe A and M gets in
• 58:21
  Speaker 1: and one of those other teams doesn't. Probably the way
• 58:25
  Speaker 1: that I would look there, I think A and M
• 58:26
  Speaker 1: maybe above Florida. As far as that acc, I think
• 58:29
  Speaker 1: probably only Clemson gets in, but we'll see. And then
• 58:32
  Speaker 1: Big ten Ohio State most likely is going to be
• 58:34
  Speaker 1: in at some in some capacity, Penn State likely probably
• 58:38
  Speaker 1: will be.
• 58:39
  Speaker 2: They might get four teams in as well.
• 58:41
  Speaker 1: Man, I'm not sure that Oregon is actually Oregon might
• 58:44
  Speaker 1: not make the playoffs. Man, it would be wild, but
• 58:46
  Speaker 1: I think they might fall short of the playoffs. I
• 58:49
  Speaker 1: think Michigan might actually get into the field. Man. But
• 58:52
  Speaker 1: you know me, I kind of tend to lean towards
• 58:54
  Speaker 1: these teams to just have the more like name recognition.
• 58:57
  Speaker 1: There's because they're the historically better programs. So I think
• 58:59
  Speaker 1: that's some times is the way that it happens. And then,
• 59:02
  Speaker 1: as I mentioned, LSU, like they might be able to
• 59:05
  Speaker 1: make it that far. I mean, they got a really
• 59:07
  Speaker 1: good quarterback at least there.
• 59:08
  Speaker 2: Notre Dame.
• 59:10
  Speaker 1: Here's what we have talking about Notre Dame, which I
• 59:11
  Speaker 1: don't think they're on this graphic here right, let me see,
• 59:15
  Speaker 1: Oh know, they actually are. They're listed here. Notre Dame
• 59:18
  Speaker 1: is listed here with eleven returning stars. Of course, they
• 59:22
  Speaker 1: don't have Lincoln Riley anymore. They do have a really good.
• 59:25
  Speaker 2: Coach and what's his name, Freeman? Is that his name?
• 59:28
  Speaker 2: He is a really good coach, Marcus Freeman, I think
• 59:30
  Speaker 2: is his name? Really really good coach.
• 59:32
  Speaker 1: I don't know Notre Dame because they run the ball
• 59:35
  Speaker 1: so much and they have a solid defense. I don't
• 59:36
  Speaker 1: really know that their quarterback matters that much. But I
• 59:39
  Speaker 1: still think Notre Dame kind of overperformed last year just
• 59:42
  Speaker 1: because they're not in a conference, so they don't play
• 59:44
  Speaker 1: that strong of a schedule. This year. They do have
• 59:47
  Speaker 1: a stronger schedule early in the season, but I could
• 59:49
  Speaker 1: see them losing a couple of games potentially early in
• 59:52
  Speaker 1: the season, man, including they have to play Miami, I
• 59:54
  Speaker 1: think in their opener, and I think Miami does have
• 59:57
  Speaker 1: a chance to win that game.
• 59:59
  Speaker 2: So Notre dame schedule a little bit.
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 1: More difficult this year, and that was kind of it's
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 1: always the knock on them. They don't play in a conference,
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 1: so their schedule is never as great, so we'll see.
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 1: They do still have their running back coming back and
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 1: most a lot of their deepfense at least, so we'll
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 1: see what happens with Notre Dame. I think they might
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 1: fall short of the playoff, to be honest, because with
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 1: Notre Dame they don't play in a conference that if
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 1: they lose three games, I don't think they're gonna be
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 1: making the playoff. And I could see that happening. So
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 1: I'm not really definitely not sold on Notre Dame yet.
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 1: Morgan Freeman, he is a black guy named Freeman. At
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 1: least if they don't make it, it does open it
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 1: up for one of these other teams to make it. Man.
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 1: So we'll see. But to me, I mean, if I
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 1: had to choose, it's really a difficult choice, man. I mean,
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 1: I mean Texas and Ben's state they just seem too
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 1: hyped to me. But I'm not sold on Ohio State
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 1: with just that lack of experience there. Penn's state seems
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 1: to not be able to win the big games. I mean,
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 1: it's almost crazy, But I think maybe like Georgia might
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 1: be the way to look.
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 2: You like South Carolina.
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 1: Where are they at? They're at ten to one to
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 1: win the whole thing? One hundred to one, right, is
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 1: that what it is? Where are they at?
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 1: I know they're at seventy to one. South Carolina. Oh
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 1: you want or you want USC? I don't know what
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 1: you're talking about, man, o USC. You want USC at
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 1: one hundred to one? I'm not sure that. I don't
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 1: know if I totally buy it. I don't know if
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 1: I see it. But you know, some long shot is
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 1: gonna like slip into the playoff here man, And then
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 1: you have teams like Bois that are probably gonna get
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 1: in there at two fifty to one. I mean, because
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 1: they're gonna make the playoff most likely as long as
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 1: they win their conference and they don't lose more than
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 1: like one game, you'll see boys get in See if
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 1: you want to play them at two hundred and fifty
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 1: to one to win the championship. I don't think they're
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 1: gonna win the championship obviously, but if they get into
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 1: the playoff, then you'll have a really decent hedging opportunity
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 1: because you'll have you'll be able to win money basically
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 1: if you play them at two hundred and fifty to one,
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 1: and then they make the playoff. Then you could hedge
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 1: some of it back against them and you'll win money,
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 1: you know what I mean.
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 2: So you could do that.
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 1: But yeah, I know there were a lot of professionals
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 1: that like LSU to win the championship.
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 2: They do have an experienced quarterback.
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 1: I'm not sure that their defense is good enough, so
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 1: it's actually really really difficult to gauge Man and again
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 1: A and M. I do kind of like them this year,
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 1: So at forty to one, maybe there are some decent
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 1: odds if they slip into the playoff. If they sneak
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 1: into the playoffs, it's gonna be really interesting. I think
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 1: Man and some of these other teams might fall short
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 1: of the playoff. But I think to me generally, though,
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 1: I kind of look to the teams that are getting
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 1: overlooked because they basically didn't do it last year, like Georgia. Well,
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 1: Texas was kind of overlooked last year too, but Georgia
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 1: nobody really liked them at the end of the year.
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 2: Last year.
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 1: Alabama didn't even make the playoffs. I think they're gonna
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 1: come out with some fire here, and you know, they're
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 1: playing tough schedules too. Michigan didn't make the playoff, they
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 1: might return to form a little bit here. I don't
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 1: think they're gonna really have enough to win the whole thing,
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 1: but I mean, you could maybe see some of these
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 1: teams being able to do something like that. But yeah,
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 1: I mean, to me, I'm kind of leaning towards Georgia,
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 1: to be honest, because they do have that pedigree there,
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 1: and if Gunner stocked and gets that experience behind him,
• 1:03:14
  Speaker 1: has a little bit already has some big game experience,
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 1: I'm kind of seeing Georgia on maybe being the way
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 1: to go as far as a championship pick. But we
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 1: will see, and I think that's gonna do it. Man.
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know if this is a very
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 1: informative show here, but I figured I'd give the people something,
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 1: give the people what they want here, do about an
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 1: hour the Dirty South USC. I'm still seeing USC, man.
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 1: I've never really been a fan of just their style.
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 1: I think there were a more finesse team they were
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 1: in the Pac twelve. You know, I don't really see it.
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 1: I don't see it translating that well to like the
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 1: Big Ten, where you have physical teams in the Big Ten,
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 1: so we'll see Georgia.
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 2: They always reload.
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 1: On defense, and you know, defense, the experience matters less
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 1: on defense, like once the guys go through a season,
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 1: like a defense is a defense. It's easier to learn
• 1:04:00
  Speaker 1: a system with defense than with offense. Offense is more complicated,
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 1: so the defense is usually ready to go like sooner,
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 1: and it's easier to yeah too, again, just reload talent
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 1: on defense, I think. But you know, I mean, this
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 1: is the nil and the transfer portal now too, so
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 1: you gotta see what transfers come into, you know what
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 1: I mean.
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 2: Like I didn't talk about any of the.
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 1: Transfers really here, but some of these teams have transfers
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 1: as well, so they're gonna be those players that have
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 1: experience already just because they're transferring into some new school
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 1: and whatever. But I like continuity a lot more, which
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 1: is why I kind of it's the one drawback of
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 1: the transfer portal.
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 2: Is that I like the continuity. I like guys that
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 2: have played.
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 1: Together for like multiple years in basketball even more so
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 1: than football, and then they have that experience, you know,
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 1: playing together, and it tends to work out pretty well
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 1: for them. But we will see yeah, I mean, I'm
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 1: thinking Georgia definitely has a decent shot. I think, I
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 1: mean Alabama, They're probably just not gonna have enough experience
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 1: on quarterback to get there. But I do think Aliba
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 1: Mama will return to the playoff field this year, would
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 1: be my guess, because I don't even think they should
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 1: have been left out of it last year. And LSU,
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 1: I can tell you, I know there were professional betters
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 1: that like LSU at the fourteen to one to win
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 1: the whole thing, which they do have an experience coach.
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 1: They do have a very good experienced quarterback at the
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 1: very least in New Smira. I think he got hurt
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 1: towards the late portion of last season too, right, And
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 1: then LSU they've lost too many games. They have a
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 1: difficult schedule that they lost too many games last year too,
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 1: like in in conference and the SEC is a gauntlet.
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 1: And my worry about LSU again is that their depfense
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 1: isn't good enough, so they need to somehow get their
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 1: depfense back. Yeah, autism loves routine and that's right, but
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 1: anyway that's gonna do it. So I think who I
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 1: think are gonna win these you know, bigger conferences.
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 2: I still think it's gonna be Clemson in the ACC.
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 1: I'm going with Georgia, I guess in the SEC to
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 1: just return to that big ten.
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 2: I actually went with Michigan, which sounds crazy, but we'll
• 1:06:01
  Speaker 2: see what can happen there. And then what else did
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 2: I do? I forget what else I would else?
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 1: I give up Michigan at least as a decent lun
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 1: shot of the Penn State does have the experience, and
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 1: Penn State was in the championship game last year, so
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't really write Penn State off as far as
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 1: winning that conference. And then.
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 2: What else? And then, as you know, Texas.
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 1: Did win their conference championship last year too, is they
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 1: do have experience doing that too, So I'm not really
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 1: necessarily gonna write those two teams off just because they're
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 1: both really hyped, but they are really hyped. And then
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 1: I think Boise.
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 2: I mean, I would highly doubt the Boise loses that
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 2: terrible Mountain West.
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 1: And then I remember, I like Utah, So Utah, actually,
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 1: what are Utah's awes? Let me bring it back up quickly.
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 1: Utah to win the whole thing? That might be interesting.
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 1: They're what is that plus eleven thousand man Utah.
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 2: If they win the Big Twelve, they'll get in them.
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 1: And I don't think they're gonna win the whole thing obviously,
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 1: but they are a physical team, and if they win
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 1: the Big Twelve get into the field, then you'll be
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 1: able to hedge against Utah and hedge that bet. So
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 1: I like Utah. Well, Utah, the the Utes are not
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 1: really Mormon necessarily. The more Mormon team is BYU but
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 1: and then I guess Utah State kind of tends to
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 1: be more of that way too. Utah seems to have
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 1: a lot of some moans on their team for whatever reason.
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 1: But yeah, I like Utah in that weak ass conference there.
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 1: And again, if you take Utah to win the whole
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 1: thing and they do get into the playoff field, you're
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 1: sitting on a good bet there. And then I think
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 1: you have to hedge it because they're not gonna win
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 1: the championship. But I like Utah as far as winning
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 1: that like really weak Big twelve conference there, and I
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 1: think they might be the only team that gets in.
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 1: And what is it? It's a twelve team playoff right now,
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 1: so like what would the twelve teams be that. If
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 1: that was the case, I think we get Ohio State, Texas,
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 1: Penn State, Georgia, Clemson, Alabama. I think all those teams
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 1: get in. So we're already up to what are we
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 1: up to? We're up to six. I'm actually skipping Notre
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 1: Dame in Oregon. I think Michigan gets in seven, LSU eight.
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 2: Boy, it's so tough, man.
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna give Utah the one from the Big twelve,
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 1: so that's nine, and then we need three more.
• 1:08:13
  Speaker 2: I mean, who the hell are they gonna be?
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 1: A Boise State would be ten because I think the
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 1: Mountain West winner probably gets in as long as boys
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 1: he doesn't lose too many.
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 2: And then who would the other two be? Though that's crazy.
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 1: They have to be two more teams to get in
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 1: and that seems insane, man, And what are we gonna get,
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 1: like five teams from a single conference getting in?
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 2: Or are we gonna get a second team in for
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 2: the Big twelve?
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 1: Like, if we're gonna go with a second team from
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 1: the Big twelve, I'd probably go with Kansas State, but man,
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 1: it kind of seems like a long shot to me,
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 1: even though I think they have better odds. They have
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 1: slightly better odds than Utah does. But I'm not sure
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 1: that I love that. I mean I kind of like
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 1: Texas A and m to sneak in there, and then
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 1: who would the other team even be? Like do we
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 1: actually get an additional ACC team in there? And maybe
• 1:09:01
  Speaker 1: like somehow Miami gets in. Maybe maybe that's what we'll
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 1: go with. Yeah, I mean it's so early.
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 2: Who the hell knows.
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 1: I mean, this is all just such speculation. But when
• 1:09:09
  Speaker 1: you're playing future markets like this, you're looking for value. Man,
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 1: You're not necessarily saying this team is gonna win the
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 1: whole thing. You're saying you think they're gonna be able
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 1: to make a run, possibly get into the playoffs, and
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 1: then you'll be able to hedge against them. Miami is
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 1: not gonna run the table, that's for sure. But the
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 1: ACC is not a very good conference nonetheless, But I
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 1: think Miami should do pretty well. I mean, I think
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 1: they definitely have a shot to contend in that conference.
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 1: And it seems like nobody is even really talking about them,
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 1: so kind of weird because they have a very experienced
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 1: quarterback there at least, but everybody just kind of thinks
• 1:09:41
  Speaker 1: he's a pussy like basically just because of his face.
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 1: But again he played in a very strong sec Carson Beck.
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 1: So we'll see what happens. That's gonna do it. Thanks
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 1: for hanging out, guys. Hopefully this is a decent show.
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 1: I'll try to get it up on audio as well,
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 1: but hopefully descript because descript limits the amount of like descriptions.
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 1: He you can run a thirty day period. I kind
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 1: of butt right up against that with the tier. Then
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 1: I'm on, I don't really want to have to pay more.
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 1: So we'll see what happens. But thanks guys for hanging out,
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 1: and that's gonna do it for now. Learn to Tone
