• 1:34
  Speaker 1: The maturity of the team really does.
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: And then, as opposed to the Gator team, when the time was to make plays, fsu made the plays and didn't screw it up or spit on anybody.
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you don't spit on anybody On a third down play when he's giving you four.
• 1:53
  Speaker 2: like he was short, hey you're getting off the field and you just hit them, just unquestionably targeting.
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: I mean, they had their Florida came energizes.
• 2:05
  Speaker 2: You knew that it would be.
• 2:08

• 2:17
  Speaker 1: Right, right.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that was a really nice human interest piece.
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we got on that guy.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: I was out of the room when they ran the one on on tape.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: Maybe I don't know.
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: I guess they didn't get to that.
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: Well, yeah, they didn't get to that.
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: It was an ugly game.
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: It was an ugly game, but it was a hard fought game in the trenches.
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah you said it would be.
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: Right, right, you know, and it's a the four quarter game.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, some really key stops by the defense in the first half.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: That allowed kept this thing from going off the defense played great.
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: I thought the defense played great.
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: They played with heart, passion.
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: They didn't give it.
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: In fact, I don't even count that touchdown.
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: That was an egregious call.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: It was a well timed, but not breaking.
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: They were holding the Gators to field goals all game.
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it was one of the worst calls ever and it was right after the quarter.
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: It was a zero, zero game.
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and they had missed a field goal.
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: And you run and you had huge sack, huge sack, well timed, and you throw unnecessary roughness.
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: So it's not not even targeting or something.
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: Wouldn't you throw a targeting if you thought you hit the quarterback?
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: It's, it was egregious call.
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: I couldn't get Stop thinking about that until the end of the game.
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: I hate that.
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: I'm going to be honest with you.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: I think it pretty much put a cloud over the rest of the half for Florida State it.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they were just yeah.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I've never seen him really Like that before.
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: It was a horrible call it was.
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: It was.
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: You know, but like this team fights man, they're resilient as hell.
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: And what did I?
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: What did I say?
• 4:01
  Speaker 2: The keys were and who needed to Step up?
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: Trey Benson and your leaders on defense, led by verse yeah, loach with a huge pick to the defensive line and what?
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: what's the line?
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah.
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: And what's crazy is, you know, montreal Johnson was over a hundred yards.
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, we've seen that all year.
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: But the plays they made at crucial times, yeah, the timely blitzes, timely blitzes, just just keeping, you know, keeping.
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: And just I mean Tate didn't play.
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: I wouldn't say well at all.
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: I'm sure he's going to go back and say he didn't play well at all, but you know what he didn't do?
• 4:41
  Speaker 2: He didn't turn the ball.
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he didn't turn the ball over.
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: That's the one thing that she that she needed he had a few drops.
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he did he was going to have a touchdown.
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he had a touchdown.
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: Keon Coleman was there.
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: That timing hasn't been there.
• 4:53
  Speaker 2: It was a little high, but you should got to catch that.
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: You got to catch that.
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: That's on Coleman.
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: He had a big punt return, though in the game.
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he did, he did he looked a little off off.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: Had a big catch.
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: That's a big conversion for a first down.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: You know Tate has that relationship with Johnny Wilson and that was that connection.
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: And he's been well.
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: Johnny Wilson has that relationship with Jordan Travis as well.
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: He's been Mr Third Down all year.
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: He's been that go-to guy for Florida State when they need it, and he was that in this game.
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: Johnny Wilson came through a number of Third Downs.
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and I.
• 5:30
  Speaker 2: you know, Norvel used a phrase On the phrase catch is probably wrong.
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: He used the phrase after the game and to describe the team of answering the bell and that's kind of it's perfect.
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: You know, they've got to figure out what they're going to have to do to win the game.
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: Like as the game is going on.
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, to fight.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and it man, yeah, it didn't look good early, did not?
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: No, you know, and it wasn't necessarily that that Florida was dominating it, just they kind of-.
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: Florida was doing what they did.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: They ran the ball.
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: They can't.
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: You knew it was going to come out and be like a rapid environment.
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: Tim Tebow was there giving a speech.
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he looked Doing some other stuff.
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: Allegedly, yeah, allegedly.
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: I'm not there looking at him.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: He looked good mood man.
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he was very, very friendly.
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: But yeah, he gave the speech for your game.
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: They had the whole-.
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they were gearing it up man, it's a big, big recruiting forum.
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: You know they had that Jeremiah Smith kid in attendance again.
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: He was there watching the game, visiting Florida this time.
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: Oh All right, but you know this is a big deal for Florida Playing for bowl eligibility.
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: It was a big game.
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: It was a huge game.
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: You could sense that in the air and Florida came out firing man the defense.
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: They were blitzing, they were blitzing, they were blitzing and they got to Roddermaker with the safety.
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: That was a big point of the game.
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: But Florida State's defense was bending but not breaking.
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they kept a minute, kept a minute.
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: This team is.
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: Florida misses some field goals, but this far as I'm concerned, I don't think they had a touchdown, but it was after that egregious call which this shouldn't have been allowed.
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: Should have been a field goal opportunity.
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: When you go on the road and you play in an environment like that and you play the swamp, you play in Clemson or you know wherever you got to face that home crowd surge of all the momentum that's going to come out.
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: There was place to be made on that defense.
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, you know, and it you know they're going to react to the crowd, the overwhelming.
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: You know they get a call.
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: That's horrible, it goes against them, I mean everything.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: But they just they did a really nice job just weathering that, using the rest of the game to you know what was it?
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: 24 to 3?
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: .
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: After they got down 12-0.
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: After it was 12-0,.
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: The final score 24-15, 24-3.
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: That's a response.
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: Trey Benson finished the game with 19 carries, 95 yards and three touchdowns.
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: There you go.
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: I mean, come on, it's not quite 250, but that'll do.
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: Come on man.
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: Just patient man, that's what you have to do with him.
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: He's so patient man, and once he gets that hole he's gone.
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: Man, he's really good man.
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: I hope the.
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: I hope the night is drafting third round.
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: Oh, I don't think he'll go that long.
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: I don't know, man.
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: There's not a huge premium on running backs anymore.
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: It's true but man, what a game for Trey Benson when you needed him, you needed him on offense you needed someone to have that explosion and that home run threat he gives you in that backfield is just brings an element to this offense where I think you still have to give it that respect.
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: Rodermaker is going to only going to get better.
• 8:50
  Speaker 2: He's not going to be playing on the road in that environment.
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: He's not going to be playing in that environment.
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: You know that I say what you want.
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: About the toolshedder, you know he's not horrible.
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: I mean he's got his defense coordinator, job at 30.
• 9:04
  Speaker 2: He's obviously knows what he's doing.
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: He does.
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: He's a smart guy.
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: He was a little emotional in the first half.
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: That's what I'm saying, man, I think he got somebody sent him the clip I mean the word creeper does get thrown around, it does.
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: The word creeper does get thrown around and he was thrown in around the first half.
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: Man, the creeper was there.
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they were confused and tamed and they weren't, and the offense was controlling the line of scrimmage and moving the chains where they didn't give for sale A lot of chances to even have run their offense.
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, and it just looked kind of basic in vanilla that whole first half.
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: It looked like the same place that they always come out and run it looked like Florida was running in between the 20s, and then they got the help with that egregious call and they were able to score a touchdown.
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and they got Florida.
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: They got good money back in the safety and the yeah, they'll power run that thing.
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: But down 12 to nothing.
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah, before the end of the first half, florida State went on a 90 yard drive and that was huge.
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: That was backed into a corner once again.
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: I don't think.
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: And that's kind of down 12 on the road.
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: Prime time in the swamp Right.
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: A new quarterback.
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: What are you going?
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: to do.
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah you drive down there, Get a score, man, the score that you had to have, and then again in the second half, you know you're down.
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: What 12 to 7?
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: Mm-hm.
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: It's or was it 15, 14, whenever the fourth and three was where you had to have it.
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: You know they're going for it.
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: You're in Gator territory.
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: Let me step up.
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: Man Jikai Douglas had one catch.
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: It's as big a catch, big time, as there was in the game.
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: Big time catch I mean this game.
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: Not a lot of offense was played.
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: Total yards Teams to 24 for the nose to 32 for the Gators.
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: Yeah it passing yards 134 for the Knowles, 86 passing yards for the Gators at Florida State.
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: Secondary remains.
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: Top-notch.
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: They really have just quietly been really, really Top flight this season.
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: I mean it's Gators were able to run the ball for 146 yards, but no big plays.
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: They stopped them when they needed to yeah, I think the biggest run they had was right there before the half.
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: Both teams had 3.9 yards per play.
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: But the thing that you saw With FSU is, when they get into these battles, they make the timely plays.
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they make the timely plays.
• 11:44
  Speaker 1: They they've avoided mistakes of not just you know Plays but also mental mistakes after the play.
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: Right, and you saw, Florida pretty much gave the game away with that.
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: Terrible, terrible.
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: When you hit Roda maker there, I mean he's given up.
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: That was on third down.
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: You're gonna get the ball back now.
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: Who knows what happens.
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: I doubt nothing against tape man, but he's not.
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: You know it's not a graceful Thing to see him slide.
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: No, everybody saw it coming.
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: There's no, yeah, and then the guy spit on him earlier in the game, but that's just the.
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: You could see the, the maturity and the resiliency between the teams.
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: Yes, play tonight.
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: And I think that was the difference in the game.
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: When a game that was so Evenly matched, even all across the board statistically, you knew it was gonna be a fight at home.
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: You knew it's gonna be an emotional game.
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: How do you handle those emotions in those crunch times?
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: Florida did not answer the bell tonight.
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: In fact, they had two players ejected.
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah in critical times.
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, man, and it you know you talk about the word culture gets used and and like I don't know, that's to me that's dumb, but it's just the way that it means a lot yeah it's just the way that business?
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: Yes, it's the way that we do business, yeah, you know.
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: and and we got first-year transfer guys coming in here from different programs and they still you don't see them out there acting like that and then the end of the day they did have eight penalties for 90 yards.
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: Florida State had five for 22.
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: Most of them were Presnap.
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: They were delay a lot of late games.
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we have three.
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: Those are things you can clean up, hopefully with some you know, some more practice and more reps with Rod and maker.
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: He's not gonna be in an environment like that.
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: No, it next week is a whole Thing in and of itself, man.
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: I mean you know Louisville losing like we've yeah, louisville lost to Kentucky today.
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: Nothing, nothing more.

  Speaker 1: ACC than that happening there.
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: Mm-hmm I.
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: You know, but it doesn't take away.
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: No, how big of a threat they are again with the big win today in the big game Michigan.

• 14:52
  Speaker 2: Well, I mean in the beginning, florida was able to convert a lot on third down.
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: They were ended up, though only seven for 16.
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: Florida State though four, 14 on third down.
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: Big one-to-one though, like you said at Chica Douglas, yeah, down, that was a huge play.
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it was monumental, really was and it was.
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: It was not some gimme either.
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: You know it was a dart, it was highly contested, you know the coverage was right there and he snagged it.
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: So it was Guy, stepped up, man, they really did.
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: It said you wanted to see the defense step up.
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: You wanted to see the running back step up trade, benson in particular, and boom.
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: What happened?
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: I tell you what I saw somebody step up who nobody would have pegged it.
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: Malcolm Ray Mm-hmm was out there making plays.
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: Malcolm Ray was out there like that.
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: You know stuff like that, when you can flex the depth a little bit.
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah and and I think that's what the difference was in the game Florida State was able to hang in there.
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah and like bow up a little bit.
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: They've been a little bit to those cuz.
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: Florida does have a stable.
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: Those two running backs are good and I know and they lead on that.
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: You know they run that power scheme for the running plays and it, quarterback was athletic.
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: I mean dad gum.
• 16:06

  Speaker 1: They could not block.
• 16:41
  Speaker 1: He took a 340 pound man and just threw him into the quarterback, like it.
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: You know, defense just had to weather the storm.
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: They did a really good job.
• 16:51
  Speaker 1: They played well in the first, yeah, they weathered that storm in the beginning, allowed the offense to kind of catch up, yeah, and it got, I was safety, it got yeah yeah, and I was with you, man, that the whole first half.
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: I just I'd you know, you just had to maintain it, not impressed with the play calling, but at the same time you know you didn't turn the ball over, yeah you're only seeing sort of half of the play as it's going with the backup quarterback now, so like there was plays there, he just didn't make them.
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah, there was a step slow play.
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: He was just.
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: I think he was hesitant to not make mistakes, which I would rather have, I guess but there was a couple in the beginning, some of the screen passes, where he almost got.
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: He could have got snagged.
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: But yeah, that he looked to be real little cautious game speed.
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: It did had Coleman open in the flat once that he didn't get the ball to him.
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that was a big play.
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: If he gets it out on time, get him with Johnny Wilson again on third down.
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: He's been there all year for Travis, now for Rodermaker.
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: In the biggest times in the, when you need it the most, that's where they go.
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I, and why not, man he's, he's delivered for you.
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: He has, he has, but man then.
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: And then Trey Benson three touchdowns Home run, hitter man that guy.
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: yeah, he, he's just.
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: I remember when we, when we took the transfer and guys were just like what you know?
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: People were scratching their heads Like what are we doing?
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: You know why are we taking a running back that has played Like a game?
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: just had his knee blow up at.
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: Oregon.
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: Like what the hell is this Right?
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: Well, and now you see why it's good to see this team fight through adversity.
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: Whether it's from the other team, the Dагum officials, I mean the ACC, we've seen it both ways we know, is it not?
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: They missed calls on both sides.
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: They missed calls against four state tonight too.
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but what I'm saying is like the obvious ones.
• 19:02
  Speaker 1: Is it not the worst run organizations?
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: and like having Sean McDonough on that.
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we ain't gonna hear it.
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: Called it out, I mean we're gonna hear it from salary it was a bad call though.
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: I mean they did say it was a great bad call.
• 19:16
  Speaker 2: But yeah, it was an egregious call at that point in the game, absolutely egregious.
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: It deserved an explanation further than they gave I could.
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: I guess that's fair.
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah but but Florida states 12 and 0, 12 and cover a nine point win.
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: Got the win on the network at night.
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: The Gators will not be bowling this year.
• 19:42
  Speaker 2: No, they won't man.
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: The football season for Florida in 2023 is over at five and seven.
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: Hey man, they actually did better than I thought they would.
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: What did I?
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: I had them at three wins, I believe, before this Four men was a change.
• 19:59
  Speaker 2: They didn't go back and check the tape.
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: They did a little bit better.
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we did do some preseason shows.
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: But yes, Florida state.
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: What they was going to be.
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: Interesting, man is, you know, keeping it on Florida for a second.
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: We'll see what goes on with that recruiting class, which is apparently the only thing that's keeping Billy Napier relatively safe.
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: And now you mentioned who was at the game?
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: Jeremiah Smith.
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: Jeremiah Smith was at the game.
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, visiting Florida this time, yeah visiting Florida Just going to see a good game, man, you know, I don't.
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: I don't think that kid's going anywhere other than Ohio State.
• 20:39
  Speaker 1: Less Ryan Day goes to Texas, and which I'm telling you.
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: Well, I got ears in Columbus.
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: Man Guys on the ground, yep.
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: Well it's.
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: It hasn't really sunk in yet, because that was, that was a hard fought game.
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: I just you know we're state champs.
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: Yep, two years in a row, 12 and 0.
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: I don't care that Miami and Florida will play each other what, who cares?
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: Who comes in second?
• 21:12
  Speaker 1: What's that got to do with us?
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: Louisville on the horizon.
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's going to be a really tough game.
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: They're going to be coming in pissed off.
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: Damn you know they're physical, they run.
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: And again you're in the same situation.
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: There's still should I mean they still are nine and two they still should be a top 15 team.
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah and they, but they're not playing.
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: It's going to be a better matchup than Texas is going to have.
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, this will be playing Oklahoma State.
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: It's it won a double overtime against BYU, so Texas Texas will be playing Oklahoma State, which I think is good for them.
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: They they probably wanted to play Oklahoma.
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: Maybe it looked better, but yeah, it doesn't matter, we're going to lose.
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: You're going to have four undefeated.
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's you got Georgia Michigan.
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: Washington and Florida State.
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: That should be your top four, your top four Now.
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: now the debate should start.
• 22:11
  Speaker 2: Who goes at five now?
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: If Washington and Oregon play, Does Oregon get to go if they win?
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: I would probably say yes.
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: You know I think they've been saying that all year the way they ranked Oregon ahead of Alabama and Texas.
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, in every rankings and there's nothing to change that that would make you change that right now.
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: Oregon had a big win against Oregon State.
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: They're going to play the not an undefeated team in Washington, so that's fair to say that the Pac 12 was getting one this year.
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think you could say that.
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so that's one spot, all right so.
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: I mean the SEC is in, no matter what happens, the SEC has a spot you think so?
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, with the great pass, alabama.
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and the fourth down there could be forever for them to win the SEC.
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: They'll have to have what is ten years from the the best win over the season.
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: The return of the.
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: You know that was a.
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: What a great game.
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: That was hard.
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, can you rush only two guys at the end, your Auburn, but man.
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: I mean Through a nice throws a great catch right kids fields, the punt for Auburn.
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: You're not even talking about this.
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but yeah, somehow Alabama still in it.
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: They were just I mean sunshine smiled on the blind frogs, yeah.
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: I think Texas Is a head of they're in front of Alabama because they beat them head-to-head and that is something that this committee that's the whole reason there is a committee is to deal with head-to-head when they're, when teams are ranked higher and all the ratings.
• 24:03
  Speaker 1: I agree with you, man, like the reason they got rid of the BCS is because they were only picking between two teams in the end.
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, yeah, that's only have two now they should just go back to the BCS that you're gonna be there.
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: There wouldn't be a TV show in that.
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly, couldn't set an agenda and talk about it.
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: I mean the way they were asking Norvell After the game.
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: Where should people think of them?
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: I mean cheese 12 and oh Well.
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: I mean we've answered every game on the schedule.
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: I don't.
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: Shouldn't have to defend anything if they win therein.
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's it, the bottom line.
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: Why would I care?
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: Would people think about me it?
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: doesn't matter.
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: That was.
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: The defense showed up, the offense played, did what they had to do, what?
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: I'm saying like let's just break it down.
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: For instance, you have the team that just jumped Florida State Washington, mm-hmm, you know, playing in their rivalry.
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: Yes, they barely squeak by at home against one against another five and seven team and Washington State.
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: They need a field goal at the end of win right.
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: So, and they're playing with their starting Right.
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: They're playing with their starting quarterback right.
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: They're Heisman candidate quarterback.
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: He started the game, finished the game Right.
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: Florida State playing with their backup right.
• 25:17
  Speaker 1: Spread was what six and a half points just shows you.
• 25:21
  Speaker 1: Florida.
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: State covered the spread, they cover the spread.
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: The defense stepped up.
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: Did what people?
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: Were expecting strength is off in offensively.
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: Big plays.
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: Big plays, big run by Trey Benson.
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he's a second half.
• 25:40
  Speaker 1: He hasn't had the, the stats or the season, although I'm gonna tell you I mean the yards haven't been there, but touchdowns, big runs.
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: Like you know, I'll take him with any back in the country.
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, trey Benson steps up, johnny Wilson stepped up.
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: Those two guys on offense in particular Carried the day.
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they Carried this team through the adversity that they had and the defense not allowing the big play and not turning the ball over, just like we said exactly.
• 26:20
  Speaker 1: Hey yo, and shout out to Brock Lynn man.
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: Brock Lynn got in, came in there and handled that like a champ.
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he looked good.
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, he.
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: Pass knockdown?
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, probably wouldn't have been complete anyway.
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: But I you know, whatever That'll come, that'll come, it's gonna be his team telling you we had to go.
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: Oh my God, I can't believe we won, man.
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, those sink in Staking Always, yeah, Florida State 24, Gators 15, 18 straight, the third longest streak in the country, behind Georgia and Washington.
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: Both teams should be ranked.
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: All those teams should be ranked.
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: Top four should be pretty easy.
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: You got Georgia, michigan, washington, florida State, florida State.
• 27:17
  Speaker 1: However, you want to do it.
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: I don't care.
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: You can make an argument for all of them honestly.
• 27:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I would just put it straight, chalk, you know.
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: I think Florida State probably deserves to jump Washington.
• 27:28
  Speaker 1: Well, there you go, Like but whatever.
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: But that's your classic matchup, though.
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: You got the Rose Bowl matchup pack 12 versus Big 10, washington, michigan, and then that would give you Georgia, florida State and the sugar bowl.
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: If that, if all teams wins that's going to be a matchup.
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, there you go, that's going to be it.
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: Congratulations everybody.
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: We get to play Georgia, whatever man I mean if Georgia beats Alabama, Michigan beats Iowa, Washington beats Oregon, Florida State beats Louisville, that's your final four right there.
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: I mean, that's obvious, but that's what it will be.
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: That will be that in the sugar bowl and that in the Rose Bowl.
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm just, I'm just.
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: Where would you rather go?
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: Me yeah.
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: Well, I mean drag her out to Pasadena and play the Wolverines.
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: No, you know.
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: I mean if you're going to have to beat Georgia one way or the other, as impossible as it is, if it is impossible, you need to might as well get them.
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: Get it rested, get rested, I guess.
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: You don't want to play them on a short week after you just had to play Michigan.
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: Right, I agree.
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: Honestly, though, I don't care it doesn't matter.
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: You just got one more game for the nose.
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: If you win next week, I'd hang in.
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: They're in, yeah.
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: No, I'd yeah.
• 28:55
