  Chris Marler on your radio. Make sure to find him on x also Saturday
• 0:04
  down South dot com. Brett McMurphy released today is way too early. It's
• 0:08
  never way too early to talk college football playoff, but you know, some
• 0:11
  may say that, but way too early college football playoff projections. He had
• 0:14
  four SEC teams in this from you know who you would think Georgia, Texas,
• 0:19
  Alabama and then Missouri. All Miss fans would take you know, they
• 0:24
  would take up hands for that. You know, they throw hands on that
• 0:26
  one because the you know, the expectations in this state is as high as
• 0:30
  I've ever seen it for ole Miss this year to make this playoff. I'm
• 0:34
  curious to see how this committee I want your thoughts on this really does this
• 0:37
  because and what I mean this is the selection part. We know that they
• 0:39
  got to take four champions from the Power four conferences. We know they got
• 0:44
  to take one group of five champion. But then after that all bets are
• 0:47
  off because Notre Dame and they have Notre Dame in this projected field from Brett
• 0:52
  McMurphy. If Notre Dame wins ten ball games, they're likely going to get
• 0:54
  in. You know, there's likely a scenario where Liberty runs the table again
• 1:00
  and then maybe Memphis or Boise State, and they have Boise State in this
• 1:03
  this field as well has a good enough season to warrant this consideration. How
• 1:07
  many SEC teams just off the cuff? Do you think it's going to be
• 1:11
  four? Could it be five? Or will we be surprised and it only
• 1:14
  be two or three? You know? I think the surprise is the way
• 1:18
  they're gonna end up being with them. So here's the thing. SEC fans,
• 1:22
  as soon as they start talking about going to a full team playoffs,
• 1:25
  the idea and the thought was, and the assumption more than anything from from
• 1:29
  SEC fans, oh my gosh, we're gonna get four or five teams in
• 1:32
  every year. We don't know that, Like, we don't know that.
• 1:36
  We've we've seen the DCS. We've seen you know them get two teams in
• 1:38
  the National Championship multiple times and in the BCS are and also the Costball playoffs,
• 1:44
  and we're gonna get multiple teams with costicall playoffs era as well. But
• 1:47
  like, we don't know what this looks like. So the assumption that everyone
• 1:51
  is just going to get in with ten wins, I don't see that happening,
• 1:55
  and what you're gonna end up finding is, you know, the thing
• 1:59
  with Notre Dame is is what really kind of pisses me off because you're you're
• 2:02
  basically going back to the DCS era with how you're gonna treat that a name,
• 2:06
  and that is if Notre Dame and then during the DCS, if they
• 2:09
  got to ten wins, it was an automatic bit And that's ridiculous. And
• 2:14
  that's a ridiculous thing to say just because they don't play in a conference.
• 2:17
  You know, I'll just before I get on a little ran about it,
• 2:20
  like I don't care that you play a you know, a military institute or
• 2:24
  an academy or something like that in a in the Yankee Stadium once a year.
• 2:30
  That isn't translat into having a really difficult schedule for me, And I
• 2:32
  don't care. So what I do worry about, though, is the SEC
• 2:37
  Like getting four teams, it seems doable, but you're you're assuming you're only
• 2:40
  gonna get one group of five. You're assuming that like the only get one
• 2:44
  big twelve and then and then where where's the rest? Where the rest of
• 2:46
  teams coming from? You're probably getting matched from the Big Ten and getting four
• 2:51
  teams from there and then just assuming the ACC is only getting one to see
• 2:53
  as well, we don't know that's how it gonna work. And we start
• 2:55
  looking at these other conferences like the Big ten I'm sorry, like the Big
• 3:00
  twelve, like ACC you talk about going in eleven and one, Like,
• 3:04
  who's to say that they don't get it? Like an eleven O one comes
• 3:07
  and probably gets it over a ten and two ole miss or Miszoo or something
• 3:12
  like that. I just I think the assumption that the SEC is just gonna
• 3:15
  kind of run roughshops through this twelve team playoff is not not going to you
• 3:21
  know, it happens. Rush of people think it is. No, I
• 3:23
  have one percent agree. It's gonna be fascinating to watch it all unfold and
• 3:28
  see, uh, you know how the selection committee does this? When we
• 3:30
  get down to that point. Hey, when I say we, I don't
• 3:32
  necessarily mean you. I know we haven't talked a lot about it. Here
• 3:35
  are we sleeping on tennessee? Should we be putting the NC in this conversation?
• 3:38
  Yes, it's like I there, real quick, the old miss thing.
• 3:43
  I know you didn't ask, but like that schedule, it's it's difficult
• 3:46
  to look at a schedule in the SEC going into next year with everything they
• 3:50
  have added but texts to know you and all that. But like you look
• 3:53
  at oh Miss scheduled very favorable. Same with Tennessee and then they gotta I
• 3:57
  think they have a road game ado you get bam Let home. You know,
• 4:00
  I think they along the roads. George, I think I could be
• 4:02
  wrong about that, but I mean, for the most part, like that
• 4:06
  schedule is pretty manageable, and this is going to be an influx of offensive
• 4:10
  talent that we have not seen yet. Josh Hippel at any at any stop
• 4:15
  right and and that's the guy that made you know, not just Drew Lock
• 4:17
  like a like a a three four thousand yard pass or whatever it was,
• 4:23
  but also like set the single season record for touchdowns in a season. If
• 4:27
  he can get with Drew Lock, they got what he's gonna do with five
• 4:30
  Star TV, like Miko and and it's not just him, it's the supporting
• 4:32
  cast around him, with the five Stars he has coming in, like Mike
• 4:36
  Matthews, Mile Matter and Parkview, like some of the other grow McCoy coming
• 4:41
  back. I mean, they are loaded on offense. And I think about
• 4:44
  Tennessee that no one has seemed to really understand over the last couple of years
• 4:46
  that defense was probably one of the more underrated and overlooked units in the entire
• 4:51
  country. And at times it is really really good. So if they can
• 4:55
  continue to improve, like I think they probably will. In your or your
• 4:58
  foreigner hypel, I mean, you know, I I think I think that
• 5:00
  they are. I like them way over the zoo to get in the playoffs.
• 5:03
  Chris Marler talking college football Little NFL on a Wednesday. I got one
• 5:08
  more question for you, Hey, do you do you like college baseball?
• 5:12
  Do you mean do you get into college baseball? I do? I like.
• 5:15

• 5:20
  teams, but on the weekends like that, when you start getting some of
• 5:24
  these SEC matchups, I definitely will. No one agree, and it should
• 5:29
  be a fantastic, fantastic baseball season. And make sure to find him on
• 5:32
