USC Upsets Ohio State?! College Football Week 9 Predictions & Picks | College Football Nobodies · College Football Nobodies

• Kevin: Well, Erich, we are riding high tonight with our Milwaukee Brewers, the beloved brew crew here. It's it's still surreal. Winning the world championship tonight. Cannot believe the brewers are world champions. I mean, growing up in the city, no. Erich: Never in my life. Never in my life. I thought it would happen. Never. Kevin: 44 years. I I picture, you know, just listening on the deck with my dad to The famous Bob Euchre and my brother shooting hoops on the driveway. You got Euchre in the background or in the car watching the games, the America's pastime in the summer is as much as we love college football, the brewers mean so much in the city of Milwaukee. And to see them win tonight, amazing. And I was telling you offline, I got a couple of high school buddies where I think we got phones like senior year in high school, that was 2007. You didn't really text yet at that time. There were the little little eggs basically with the keypad. So but then that came around in college. And I think I can count on one hand the time we weren't texting about a brewer's game, either through that game, the end of it, maybe the next morning at worst. And to I mean, just to have this moment with those guys and this this team and I unbelievable team. We'll go down as an all-time team. Pat Murphy, the skipper of all skippers, old school guy, just how the team plays. Small ball, hit a single, bunt, move a guy over. If you need to hit a home run, they will. 10 guys under 28 years old, the youth on this team, just Pat Murphy pressing all the right buttons. A veteran like Yelich, who's came over in 2018. And I mean, the Brewers have been one of the best franchises the last decade, knocking on the door. And they finally knock it down with these young guys like Cherio and Tarang and William Contreras, Wild Bill, as he's known, getting MVP rightfully so. He's a monster. I could go on and on. I know it's a college football podcast, but I am just fired up. It means so much. And especially for a franchise where you you go through seasons where we're losing a hundred games back in the county stadium days before Erich: yeah. Kevin: Miller Park was built. It'll always be Miller Park, by the way, not Am Fam Field. Erich: Agreed. Totally agreed. Kevin: That was in two thousand yeah, two thousand and one that was built. And it started Ryan Braun, Prince Fielder, Ricky Weeks, those guys. What a fun era that was in 2008 and all those years where we finally broke through and became relevant again. And then this crew took it to the mountaintop. And it is yeah, I I will not stop smiling for a long time with this team. So it was a special night, and we're happy to record on it. Erich: Special night, Kevin. I remember growing up going to County Stadium before Miller Park, watching Ken Griffey Jr. throw a guy out from center field, watching Nolan Ryan get his 300th win there, watching Robin Yout get his 300 3000th hit there. The watching Mark McGuire and the peak of the steroid era there during batting practice, like hitting balls to downtown Milwaukee. From from Old From County Stadium, Miller Park, Kevin. I don't know you know this, but shortly after Miller Park opened, I actually worked for the printing company way back in the day that did the blueprints printing for Miller Park. we would have the Christmas company Christmas party there every year back in the day. So yeah, to your point. Yeah. So a little tidbit Kevin: I did not know that. That's cool. Erich: like anyone who's grown up in the Milwaukee area, like you and I obviously has A brewer's story, a stadium story, tailgating there. at County Stadium where they used to have the was it like two or four Packers games a year. I watched them beat Detroit the year Barry Sanders ran for 2,000 yards at County Stadium. So got to see him. I think he ran for like 140 yards that day or whatever it was. So just yeah, I mean. A brewer's adjacent story right there. But yeah, incredible stuff. Again, never thought in my life we'd see it. Just the nature of the way baseball is set up. And yeah, well, we're on cloud nine, so let's keep that energy into the football season, Kevin. we got another big slate here. I don't know if it'll top the prior two weeks or whatnot, but We got a lot of great games. We're gonna start in the Big Ten, Kevin. And we're gonna do things a little differently this week. I think what we're gonna do is I'll ask you what game you want to talk about, and then you could ask me the same question. But the games we think are really interesting this week. We got Wisconsin at Iowa, Wisconsin finally playing on Fox for the first time this year. they finally get ranked and maybe earn that right. An interesting matchup for just how it shapes up for each team afterwards. Minnesota at Indiana. We'll see. It could be interesting. Just the nature of the fact that Indiana hasn't been dominant and Minnesota's punched above their weight at times. Ohio State USC. I think you and I are going to talk about that one later. One of our categories. So maybe we'll leave that there. Michigan at Rutgers, weird game. really weird game for just you don't know how what's going to happen there. Northwestern at Oregon, and then Washington at Nebraska. Another interesting game for which team kind of picks up. gets momentum back, maybe that's the narrative there. But which of these sticks out to you? Kevin: Gosh, a bunch of them. Interesting week as always in the in the big ten. let's start with your boys. You know, you were modest Erich: Okay. Kevin: last week with the big upset versus USC, and we covered that last. So let's start out with the big noon game with Wisconsin having to turn around in one of these tough situational spots, of course. And it always seems like Iowa gets one of those at least one or two. Erich: Yeah. Kevin: Of a team getting their biggest one of the season, and then you got to go to Connecticut with the crowd right on top of you. I've been to two legendary Penn State Iowa games in my lifetime there that both ended on the final play of the game. It's electric. I love going to Iowa City. I'm sure that's going to be a lot of fun for Badger fans off a high and having the most momentum easily in the Luke Fickle era era. That's Erich: Yeah, easily. Kevin: that's nothing profound to say. That's pretty obvious. And I'm curious to see how this one goes. Iowa's laying three and a half. It's going to be really close. The total, of course, is total Iowa, Wisconsin set at thirty-six and a half. Erich: Thirty six. Yeah. Yeah. Kevin: Yeah, I think that's very, very accurate. I I I know I got bit last week. I'd probably lean Iowa here just because it's such a that's a brutal turnaround spot. And Erich: It is. Kevin: I would I would pick it's one of these where I'd pick the home team to win. If this was in Camp Randall, I think Wisconsin gets it done. If it's in Iowa, they get it done. They've certainly had Luke Fickle's number. You know what they've scored what 30, a 37-0 victory, a 42 point. It's been Nothing like Iowa, Wisconsin used to be lately. And so Wisconsin's ticked off about that. And they want to get revenge and get this series back to how it was for quite some time, where they had the upper hand. So Kamari Moulton is out for Iowa. Not great. They're stud running back. I don't know who's gonna start after last game. It seems like Kirk Friends is playing two quarterbacks now with Hank Heklinsky and Hank Brown. So I'm not sure how that's gonna go. I do know that Wisconsin has been dominant, of course, defensively. They play a lot of cover two, a lot of cover three. I'll be interesting if they go more man in this game, though. Does Mike Trussell switch it up? Minnesota had a lot of man versus Iowa last game, or do they just stick to their game plan? Iowa's gonna be in their their base four two five, trying to mine turnovers off Colton Joseph. And to me, that once again is the key to the game. You guys have played your best ball, which is no secret when Joseph is taking care of the ball. look at last week. He only threw for 58 yards, but he was 12 of 14 and he didn't turn it over. You guys aren't explosive enough to survive that, especially on the road at Connecticut. So if he plays a clean game, then you're right there and probably have the upper hand. But it's really hard to get out of Iowa against the Phil Parker defense without having one missed cue or two. At the same time, you you wonder how I was gonna run the ball in this game. So those are just my top of the head thoughts. I I'm really just leaning Iowa because of the home field advantage. And Joseph almost scares me. The fact that he played a clean game now seems like he's due for a turnover or two. But what are your initial thoughts on this one, Erich? Erich: So I'm all Wisconsin in this one. I think the three losses in a row to Iowa are very much on Wisconsin mind, but I also just think Wisconsin is just playing better every week for the most part. So if you look at their schedule this year, Kevin, they have three losses. First Kevin: Mm-hmm. Erich: week to or excuse me, they two losses and one almost lost. Not three losses. So they lost week one in Notre Dame. New quarterback, a lot of new players, and there's a fumbled kick. Colton Joseph throws a pick six and it just kind of spotted Notre Dame 14 points. Tough to beat Notre Dame when you spot them 14 points when you in in in any game, regardless of the year. They're almost lost to Penn State. Colton Joseph, pick six plus two interceptions. And that, you know, if you don't have those things, then it's probably a much different game in regards to the way it went down and the way they won that game. They probably win, I don't want to say by a lot, but probably 10 or more comfortably rather than. Coming back towards the end. Then they lost to UCLA. Not much of a turnover problem, but a penalty issue. When those two things don't present themselves in a major way, they win. It didn't present Kevin: Mm-hmm. Erich: itself in any way against USC. And yeah, it wasn't an offensive fireworks show, but they did find momentum with like a really long touchdown drive in the second quarter, the third quarter, and the fourth quarter. they dominated time of possession by over five minutes. Yeah, I am all Wisconsin in this one. Iowa's wounded. The last two years was Wisconsin's come into this game wounded. In fact, the last three years, because when it was three Luke Fickle's first year with Tanner Mordecai, they were playing well. There was a close game, and then Tanner Mordecai got hurt and he was out for like I think like four or five weeks after that. So this is the first year where they're not coming in wounded. And I was a little more wounded. And I think Wisconsin's found their identity. So I am all Wisconsin in this one. I think this is the game where I will now come out on the other side and say, yep, it's officially different. if they and the winner of this game, Kevin, by the nature of these team schedules, has playoffs on their mind. Because if you look at who Kevin: yeah. Erich: they play the rest of the way, each of the team has a four-game stretch that makes that very doable. So I'm all Wisconsin in this one. I'm riding them for the third week in a row here. Hopefully, I end up being two and one rather than one and two over the past. Couple of weeks. And so I'm going for my third Wisconsin points at least upset in a row. This one wouldn't be a ranking upset. but yes, tier point connects, great great stadium. I haven't been there in some years, Kevin. Last time I was there was November 1st. I want to say 2002-ish when Brad Banks was the quarterback for Iowa. Kevin: man, yeah. Their or Orange Bowl team. They played USC and Carson Palmer. They got Yeah. Erich: Yeah, really good team. Yeah. Wisconsin got beat. I had a great time. The Iowa fans treated me really, really well. The wave wasn't a thing then. so I didn't have that to make fun of. But yeah, it was a it was a fun time. Kinex the troughs were still in the bathrooms back then. I'm I'm hoping they're still there whenever I get back there. I'm sure they're not, but it'd be great if they were. If they were. But yeah, it's a great stadium and it should be a nice good old Big Ten West clash. For a team that's gonna have a lot of momentum going into the final stretch of the season. For me, Kevin, interesting game is I want to and I mentioned this to you offline. Let's talk about Northwestern. They deserve to be talked about. Aiden Childs is having a great season. Northwestern is rushing the ball as good as anyone in the country. And they get a chance to go to Oregon, to Austin, and just really have people thinking, what the heck was I thinking picking Orzan to go to the national championship? Hand up for me on that one. I think I think Northwestern gets this done. Dante Moore out for the season. I think you and I both thought that was probably coming. Why would he come back at this point? There's nothing for him to prove. They're out of the playoff. Very unlikely a three loss team is going to get in, and very unlikely they're going to run the table to get in. So I love or I love Northwestern in this matchup. And we're gonna be looking at a seven and one Northwestern team, Kevin, if they get that done. And if you just look at the nature of college football, why why not Northwestern? Kevin: I am 100% with you on this one, Erich. I'm going with the Purple Cats. I'm not going to get into the weeds of trying to find reasons why Oregon would win. And a lot of times I like these spots of the unranked team like Oregon at home to get the upset, even though they're favored in Vegas over a ranked team. A lot of times that comes true. I'm just not a believer in the ducks anymore. It's a sports car that is broken down. Brock Thomas and Dylan Rayola don't have enough to beat a very well coached David Braun team. He doesn't give enough credit as a coach nationally for what he's doing in Evanston, Erich. And and also who doesn't get enough talk is Chip Kelly Erich: Yeah. Kevin: and Rick Newheisel's son and and what he did at UCLA and Chip Kelly coming to Northwestern. It certainly got talk. Of course, the it Erich: It's a great marriage right now. It's a great marriage. Kevin: it really is. Former blue chip quarterback Aiden Childs, he's got the most out of them. They've improved this year by a hundred yards per game and s scoring eleven points more game than last year, Northwestern. So Erich: Boy, does Pat Fitzgerald look dumb for moving on from him? And Kevin: Mm-hmm. Erich: you know what? Good for him. If if he's making Pat Fitzgerald look dumb, I'm happy. Kevin: You did voice that on last show very clearly. Didn't hear from any s Spartan fans or former Northwestern Erich: Nope. Kevin: fans, but maybe we will on this show. No, you're a hundred percent right with Aiden Childs, and you know, go back to that Indiana game that I don't know a lot of people watched a few weeks ago on Friday night. He he was super efficient, like 70 some percent. Of his passes were completed for almost 300 yards. He had a couple scores. And look at Indiana's defense. It's still a championship level defense or close to it, Erich: Agreed. And and they were they moved the ball well against them all game. Kevin: They they did. They moved it certainly better than Ohio State did. So, and that was with a healthy Julian Saiyan for most of that game. So that's something to really take into account. I think they scored 23 points in this game. And air Aiden Childs, excuse me, is piloting an offense, Erich, that just refuses to beat itself. They're efficient. They have an identity. They can run the football. They're very efficient in the red zone. And speaking of the red zone, I think this is where Northwestern has the advantage over Oregon. They'll bend but don't break. Oregon's going to make some plays with their athletes. I think Oregon's going to lean on that ground game. And Dan Lanning will look at that with the new offensive coordinator. Now that Marigner, like we talked about, was fired. And that was one positive the Ducks had going last week, and they got away. From Jordan Davison and Deer Hill in the second half in Champaign. Teams regularly do move the ball in the Wildcats, but guess what? They do not get in the end zone. So that's where things get a little dicey. Northwestern's top 10 in the country, I think, allowing less than 40% touchdown rate down there. So that's going to be the difference in Eugene, because if you look at Oregon, they piled up a lot of yards in Illinois, but. When you don't have dynamic quarterbacks, especially at the college level, it can be really tough when you get those first and goals at the ten. I always think that's the worst thing, Erich. I don't know about you, but when you see first and goal at the ten, ooh, that's a really you want to be like first and goal Erich: Yeah. Kevin: at the six. You know what I mean? Erich: Yeah, when you you and I talk about this when we're playing the video game, if we know we're not getting in, we're going out at the twelve so we can get Kevin: Yeah. Erich: it so we can get a first down. I do it on purpose. And I know you won't never would do that in real life, but boy, I would love to see some small ball baseball style analytics make it way into football where guys just start ru if they can't get past the eight yard line, they're just running out at the twelve or the eleven or the ten and a half. Yeah, just just cause I gotta imagine that there's data that would say if you do that, it helps you. Kevin: But I I think they're absolutely wood. So give me the cats here. Not only winning outrights, I would certainly want to take those points plus three and a half. And like you said, Northwestern seven and one. Good for them. if they if they get this done, they didn't win yet. They they still gotta play this game in Eugene. I'm I'm just excited about this team, and that's gonna be a fun one to to really see how far this surprise season can go. Sticking on the West Coast, the big primetime game, NBC 630 Central, fo 430 out west in the Coliseum, the Buck guys come roll. Erich: Let's save let's save that for our categories. 'Cause I think we both have it in our categories, unless I'm wrong. Kevin: save for the categories. Okay. Okay. Okay. Where do you want to pivot to? Everyone's favorite word these days. Okay. Erich: Let's go let's go to the big twelve. Let's go to the big twelve. so I'm gonna give you a narrative here, Kevin. Let me know if you agree. So the big twelve this week could become The big 12 that everyone has given them the rep for being the past two years. And what I mean by that is you had three undefeated teams last week. You had me glazing the Big 12 and many others saying they're right there with the Big Ten and others. And then the worst happened, almost the worst, where two two of your three undefeated teams lost games that they probably should not have lost, just in terms of where they were ranked and what they had done this season. So now you see a little bit that here. you have the fired coach team, Baylor, going to UCF. So UCF's in the letdown spot that many other teams have fallen victim to the past couple of weeks after big upsets. We'll see what happens there. Arizona State at BYU. How does BYU get off the mat? And if they if they drop another one, and Arizona State's another team that has athletes that could put them in the same position that UCF did in the passing game last week, Kevin. So BYU's tackling, I I worry about that. They're still unhealthy at running back. if they drop another one here, then that's another team out of the top 10 for the for the big 12. Oklahoma State at Iowa State. Iowa State's been tough. Oklahoma State one l loss away from being out of the top twenty-five. Arizona at Texas Tech. So there you at least have a rising team potentially continue to rise as a team like Texas Tech could continue to fall. And then Utah at Cincy. Does Cincy pull off another big upset? They looked pretty big, pretty darn good last week and showed some things on offense that Utah has struggled with with some teams over the past few weeks, Kevin. So for me, the Big Twelve this week is do we stand tall and grow as a conference? Or are we down to yeah, it's looking like one to two teams max in the playoff again? Do you think I'm wrong with that narrative? Or are you Kevin: Yeah. Erich: feeling kind of the same? Kevin: good question, Erich. I think they rise up only because I think BYU is gonna be pissed off. Erich: You would hope that's the response. Kevin: Mm-hmm. I'm just not a big believer in ASU. Maybe if it was a different team, but I I can't put my trust in the Sun Devils right now. They got a lot of issues going on there. So BYU responds at home. Maybe if it was in Tempe, different story. And then, yeah, since he gets to host another big one. And I just think that's one of those law of averages things. You got your big Erich: Yeah. Kevin: top 10 upset last week. Can you do it again? I'll say no simply based off of that. No analysis of the game or analytical data or anything like that. Just When you're an okay team, it's really hard to do that. But I I don't think they'll get crushed, they'll probably be in it, but Uta on the end a a little too much. I when you have a QB like Devin Dampier and you can run the ball, Morgan Scaly has shown that he's a really good coach. I think they have some things that travel in that game, and they're aware now of Cincinnati because the cat's out of the bag from last week. So I think. Erich: Boy, it it is too bad, Kevin. We've said this, that the players that went with Winningham to Michigan did. Cause if those kids were on Utah, I I mean, you'd be saying top five team all day, I think, just because some of those pieces at safety at edge, I think would just complete this roster. but yeah, I I I tend to agree with you here. I think Utah I mean Devin Dampier has now shown the ability to just put the team on his back and I think they roll in Cincinnati. Kevin: Yeah, a hundred percent tough to play in Nippert Stadium. Obviously, the Red Raiders found that out. But let's talk about Arizona, Texas Tech. That is the biggest game in the conference. We're a big fan of the Wildcats and Coach Brennan. They get to go face a wounded Red Raider ball club that, of course, just got back from Cincinnati with the tough loss. Do the Red Raiders rebound? Is Arizona Continue riding high. I I'm rolling Arizona here, but I'll let you talk about it first. Erich: Yeah, I'm rolling Arizona as well. I I think they are they've improved weekly for me defensively. And I think that's why I would roll with them here. And frankly, Texas Tech, I just I I can't give them my trust back until they earn it. I and we unfortunately both kind of did that. And just no Fafita, I think, puts this team on this puts the team on his back and gets it done. I think there's a huge quarterback disadvantage. Between these two teams, Kevin, in a major way. And I I think we're gonna see it on the field. And I think it's gonna be a really fun game to watch. I think there's gonna be points. I think what it's like 54 and a half is the the total predicted here. I I I do think we'll hit that. I I like Arizona 31, 27, something like that. Kevin: Mm-hmm. I'm gonna read for you Noah Fafitas stats for you this season. 74% completion rate, 2,064 yards, 18 touchdowns, four interceptions. Erich: Yeah, he mean he's if it wasn't for Devin Dampier and the Bird Ficklin show in Utah, No Fafita would be the guy you're talking about, along with Mestamaker and Oklahoma State and some of the others, right? there's just there's some really good offensive players in the Big 12 this year, and Noah Fita's one of those guys. Kevin: And if he doesn't turn the ball on the over in this game, which he hasn't this year, besides the four picks, obviously, Texas Tech, that's where they thrive. They get a ton of picks. I I don't know what their number is, but you look at that ASU game, a mediocre Sun Devils team was no, I'm thinking of the AM game. My fault, AM's kind of the same way, but it Texas Tech, if they're not getting turnovers, that that's kind of where they thrive. So I think Arizona even has a path to win by double digits in this game because the other stat that I really like to look at at teams is do you stay on the field? You're not going to score every time, obviously. And Arizona completes 55% of their third downs. So right there, I think that gives them a tactical advantage in this game. And it keeps Jacoby Williams off the ground for Texas Tech, where they like to control the game. And that's what hurt them last week. They weren't on the field enough at Cincy and they couldn't control the ground game because Like you said, there's a clear quarterback advantage in this game. Will Hammond is just okay. He's not Noah Fafita. He turns the ball over a lot. So I actually could see Arizona going in there and winning pretty big, where it's like, wow, Texas Tech really was masquerading as a top 10 team early in the season. They go to Nippert, get smoked, and then they come home and hey, everything's gonna be okay. We're in Lubbock. They're gonna be throwing tortillas in the end zone. Boom, not so fast. Wildcats are all in there. Give me Arizona 36, Texas Tech 24. Statement Erich: I love it. Kevin: to the whole big twelve. Erich: It certainly would be. Well, let's move from the big 12, Kevin, and keep talking more offense because there's way more offense than defense at this point in this conference. And this conference I'm talking about is the SEC. Some really good matchups, a solid slate for the SEC this week. It's not incredible, but you know, we got the adjusted location cocktail party. I don't know if if there's a new name for it with the new location. it's in Mercedes-Benz Stadium instead of Jacksonville, if I'm not wrong. so you got that 17-3 matchup. That's that's the only ranked on ranked violence and on the SEC this week. But Auburn and Ole Miss, two teams looking to get back to their win winning ways after some disappointing weeks from both of them last week. South Carolina and Oklahoma, two teams trying to put some back-to-back wins together. some nice wins from both those teams last week, although Oklahoma against a really wounded Mississippi State. I think you and I might both like South Carolina in that one, but we'll see what we say. Missouri at Arkansas, it's weird. we were talking Missouri for a little bit. And then after that just ugly loss they have, they're coming off a bye. Now they get to get back on the mat against Arkansas. I don't see really any reason to doubt that's going to happen there. I haven't seen anything from Arkansas to lead me to think otherwise. Florida, Georgia, I'd be curious to hear what you say there. And then unfortunately, a game that might have been really cool, but the Out for the year, turf toe surgery, injury news to Kamario Taylor at Mississippi State for Mississippi State Tram with Texas. At this point, Kevin, I I I don't know. I just don't know how many games Mississippi State can win without Kamario Taylor. from what I've seen from their backup quarterback, it is just not the same team. It's devastating. It's really unfortunate because they were one of the more fun teams to watch. They were that team that got me excited to go play the video game. That's the type of team they were to watch. you go back and look at their win against South Carolina. It was incredible. And so just really devastating news when something like that happens to a just a young up-and-coming electric player. so unfortunately, it's going to be tough to see anything but Texas and that one. for me, Kevin. the it's Georgia and Florida is the most interesting one. New one of the two neutral site games this week. And this one's tough. Georgia is favored. And I feel like what they do. matters. But then, what Florida showed against Texas, like, you know, that looked really good. So I'm I'm not really sure what to do with that game. And it's like but the same time when when Kirby has a loss, they usually come back. with a vengeance. So I'm going to potentially make the mistake here and and go with what I know and what history has shown me. And I'm gonna roll with the dogs here and Kirby Smart and that one and you know gimme Georgia, I think a fun game, but gimme Georgia twenty seven, Florida twenty. Kevin: Yeah, I'm not in the business of picking against Kirby Smart. Especially when the opposing quarterback is still battering battling a shoulder Erich: Yeah. Kevin: injury like Aaron Philo. What he was yeah, it Erich: I don't even know if he's playing, but yeah. Kevin: it could be Tremell. You know, he's got that shoulder injury philo that is that he was dealing with in the Texas game. This is one of these games where normally I wouldn't advise picking the over traditionally when Florida and Georgia get together. But with the fast track on the synthetic turf in the Mercedes Dome, because like you mentioned, it's normally p played where the Jaguars play on natural grass. I think that there's always incredible NFL speed in this game and it's gonna be even more on display indoors. I I think this goes about sixty total points. Florida can run the ball in this game because if you do look at Georgia, they've struggled, Erich, versus power concepts this year. Like teams running right at them, which is kind of interesting. Bama had some success. Of course, Byron Brown run rumbled for a ton of yards for the Tigers and the big upset a couple weeks ago. So I think Jaden Ball has a path in this game to have some big moments. For the Gators to have any shot, it's gonna have to be north of 200 yards, though. I think that's the magic number for them because Kirby's gonna be dialing up the blitzes and and and getting after the quarterback, whoever it is in this game. I wouldn't touch the spread here. I think, like you said, it's fun. Georgia by about 10 or so. That that feels about right, maybe thirty four, twenty four, something in that neighborhood. yeah, I just I struggle to see a path here for Florida. And the other thing is they haven't been turning people over a lot lately, the Gators. I think Erich: Yeah. Kevin: in their two losses, I read that they're and they're gonna need that in this game. And I think Gunner Stockton's gonna be sharp. I'm sure he's ticked off still from putting the ball on the ground a couple weeks ago, of course, when they were at home versus Auburn with the big upset. So I'm rolling with the dogs here. New location. It will look weird aesthetically. but the uniforms will be fantastic as always. Some Erich: Yes. Kevin: sometimes they go the the home on home in this game, so that might be fun. And the bands are always electric in this game. So love the world's largest octa wow, outdoor cocktail party. Easy for me to say. Give me the dogs over the gators, Erich. Erich: I agree, as I had already said. And Kevin, I just want to hit on I want to ask you, just give me your score, South Carolina at Oklahoma, because this is a weird one. Do you trust Shane Beamer to go on the road? Hard to do. Do you trust Oklahoma to actually like is Oklahoma actually a winning team or it was just a mirage for them play beating a wounded Mississippi State last week? Tough one to pick. What's your score? Kevin: It it really is. These teams are your classic roller coaster teams this year. And like you said, without Kamario Taylor last week, you really gotta take that with a grain of salt for Oklahoma. Who's gonna show up? Man, I guess gun to my head. Man, it's so hard to trust Oklahoma, even at home in Norman. They're getting four and a half. So Vegas likes them more than just the home field. If you say normally you get three points for that. Probably has to do with the situational spot. Of course, South Carolina, the big upset over Tennessee. man. that's like probably the hardest game of the week to pick. shoot, Oak Oklahoma. I don't feel good about it. Well, who do you think? Erich: I hate this one. Yeah, give me I'm gonna roll with Beamer, I guess. give me South Carolina twenty three twenty. Kevin: You are a quarterback guy, and I with Erich: I am. Kevin: the way Lenora Sellers sellers is playing right now and that spectacular play last week, could be right. Erich: Could be right. Could be wrong. We'll see. Either way, we'll put our hand up in our wr where we write a wrong segment in the recap. Kevin: Yeah. Where are you at on wait, I was gonna talk about O Auburn Ole Miss, but that's also a category game we'll discuss later. Erich: Okay. Well, let's keep rolling then. ACC. I I know we don't cover a ton of games in the ACC unfortunately this is just a year where there's just not a a lot of interesting stuff going on in the ACC with teams like Florida State being down with NC State being down, but we do have a few interesting ones here, Kevin. SMU stinkily six and one. I Kevin: Mm-hmm. Erich: I can people are kind of hating on them and I I don't really fully understand that. Like they're six and one. Like, what do you what do you want them to do? and they're they'd probably be seven and if our our friend the turnover king there and just didn't go cur wild with turnovers against Louisville. so that's an interesting game just from the standpoint of SMU's just weird on the road this year. So but I I still think they get it done. Clemson at Florida State. Florida State favored Kevin. Kevin: Mm-hmm. Erich: a game I'm gonna talk about one of my categories as well. Virginia at Wake Forest. I think you and I both know who we're rolling with in that one. And then Miami at North Carolina, not necessarily interesting. it should be glorious from a colors perspective. but it's a fun matchup because you know, does does old Bill Belichick have something up his sleeve there with Billy Edwards? I I doubt it, but you never know. Miami has shown moments on the road where sometimes they're not playing at their best this year, but I imagine they keep rolling as well. The inch most interesting game for me, Kevin, is Clemson at Florida State because I have no idea what to make of this game. Zero Kevin: Mm-hmm. Erich: idea. Florida State favored by six. Sure, I guess, but boy, like who wants to who wants to make that bet? Kevin: Not me. Erich: No. And I'm not even a gambling man and it makes me nervous. Kevin: Yeah, I think odds makers are just done with Clemson at this point. The Erich: Sure seems like it. Kevin: to give Florida State six there, and Clemson didn't play all that bad versus a pretty solid Virginia Tech team last week, but I you could 100% see that with Florida State. They have had some games of you know all almost beat the number one team in the country. I don't know if Clemson could take Miami down to the wire. Somehow Florida State took them to double overtime. Erich: No, definitely not. Kevin: They're just more dynamic at the quarterback position with Ashton Daniels. And they got and so that allows a a player like Deuce Robinson to get loose and some of their athletes where Clemson because they struggle and they're so young at the quarterback position, Bryant Westcoe and all that talent that the Tigers have at the wide receiver posit position is it's a moot point. So I me now just talking about it and saying that, I yeah, give me the knolls and I will say Erich: Okay. Kevin: they they cover. And yeah, that's that's what I I I think there. I want to talk a little bit about SMU, because the game I wanted to focus on in the ACC is we gotta talk a little bit more about Miami and North Carolina, just so we can talk about the Keynes. I I feel like just because their schedule, I don't think it's our fault, but they fall under the radar because it's like like last week. All right, you're gonna beat someone by 30. And there's Erich: Yeah. Kevin: Not a ton of interesting things there. SMU, just talking about them as a whole. I'm excited for their game where I Virginia Tech's off. And then I believe it's I believe it's next Thursday or Friday, they they host the Hulky's. And that's a team that could cause them issues. SMU will be favored, of course, and expected a win. Kevin Jennings, we we really like him. He's 19 touchdowns, five picks. it's exciting to see him playing really well. He's not turning the ball over as much, which we were worried about Labor Day night. boy, is he going down that path again? They do a lot of good things. They run the ball with Kendrick Raphael. They have athletes everywhere. Rhett Lashley's a pretty solid coach. They get after the quarterback. They they have a solid front seven, but they have some of those dirty little secrets, the Mustangs, as I like to say. They're brutal with. Penalties. I was looking at, I think last week, I like to look at the turnover margin for teams, just like in basketball. That is so critical. Same same thing, obviously, in football, and they're minus three there. So things that winning teams at the highest level, you don't find them in that. So I wonder when that comes back to bite them. And in the ACC, you can get away with that a lot of weeks, but does that? Cause them to be in a close game up in the carrier dome this week. That is just it doesn't matter what Syracuse is, Erich. The carrier dome, or I'll you know what, I'll always call it that. The air conditioning company sponsorship there. I it might have changed nine times actually. Is it still the carrier dome? Does does anyone know? But Erich: Hey, you hey, you and I both sold carrier products in our former lives, so Kevin: Yeah. Exactly. So even more reason to stick with that. But you know that. I mean, how many times on a weeknight? whenever you see weird scores there across the bottom line. Fran Brown's got some momentum by beaten the Tar Heels last week by one. So don't be surprised if if that game gets weird up there in central New York. So Erich: Yeah, I I agree with you. And it's just one of those things where there's elements to a playoff team on SMU, which is why I think it's frustrating to watch them at times. Like if you go back to the Florida State game earlier in the year where they tried to lose at best that they could, you know, you'll go back to the Louisville game and so forth. Kevin, I I I the other game I want to hit on is I think our demon deacons keep rolling. they are hosting Virginia at home, favored by twelve and a half. I think they cover that. I really see them winning this one like thirty-five seventeen or something like that. I I I think they they pull away late. Kevin: For sure. Virginia came into the year overrated. A lot of people bought them early because of the NC State win. Well, we found out that didn't mean a whole lot. They're without a coach now. So yeah, gimme wake big. They've given us no reason to pick against them. Gio Lopez needs to be talked about more. And Jake Dickert, one of the hottest names out there. Demon Deacon's big for sure. does Miami have any trouble? They're getting 14. They got to go to Erich: I don't think so. Kevin: Chapel Chapel Hill, what are your thoughts there? Erich: Yeah, I I know North Carolina has that defensive line that people talk about that allows them to compete, but their offense is not good. Billy Eldwards is just he's not a good quarterback. I wanted him to be good when he was at Wisconsin last year. He got injured doing a play action handoff, fake handoff. then he was out he was out for the year from that. Tragic injury and weird way to watch a guy go down and At times he's just look horrific at North Carolina. Sometimes he's looked solid. That's not enough to get done with Miami. I I I just think maybe this is close early, but I think Miami pulls away something like forty-two, forty-five, twenty-one. I just think there's gonna be too much down the field at all times for Miami out there attack. Kevin: I'm with you. North Carolina's done some nice things this year, but when you look at their losses to Clemson and Notre Dame, and I I'm not saying Clemson's on Andy's level, but if you would look at the on three or two four-seven, whoever you subscribe to for your recruiting services, Clemson has elite talent. Obviously, Notre Dame does. And that's where North Carolina, to your point, ha has has struggled this year. So and Mario Cristobal, I'll give him credit. I've piled on him at times as a game coach, but I think he's built a great staff around him. And I really like Shannon as an offensive coordinator. And he's smart enough. Like you said, North Carolina gets credit for a really good front four. Okay. We'll just take Darien Mensa in his eighty one percent completion percentage. And we're gonna go out wide to a guy named Mal Kai Tony who no one can cover. So I I think they they go to the air in that game. big before they start handing it off to the ha the Hawks Fletcher in the backfield Mark Fletcher and and hopefully he's starting to get healthy but they got a host of depth in the backfield there and I I I think they could certainly win by three scores. If if there's weather down there in Chapel Hill, then maybe it slows them down. But we shall see about that. Anything else in the ACC or did you want to move into the group of six, Erich? Erich: Hit the group of six. There's some interesting games there this week. Notre Dame Navy at Foxboro. Don't love that, Kevin. Just play it at Navy. I know you've played at the Naval Academy or the Academy home stadiums before Notre Dame. I don't know why we don't do this. I'm not a huge fan of that. Unfortunately, this is not a year where that game is going to be interesting. It's just not a very good Navy team. the academies, you how they go with their gaps for like four or five years, where they get those guys that are there for four or five years. They have that QB that runs the system perfectly, and then they're a challenge. They can be those teams that are eight and four, maybe to nine and three, and they can they can surprise someone, but I don't think that's what we're looking at this year. New Mexico at San Jose State, Kevin. I put that on here just because New Mexico, big win against North Dakota State last week. And now you got to get off the mat and travel almost a thousand miles to you know the the valley there in San Jose and against a team that's not great, but not bad. And so we'll see what happens there. Texas State at Boise State calling that out because if Boise keeps winning and Oregon State keeps winning, because we're talking Oregon State at Fresno State too, we're building up to what I think is the game that will determine who the standalone front runner is for the group of six playoff. UTEP at North Dakota State. Is North Dakota State going to get back to their winning ways? I think they are. UTEP is really bad. And then Army at Memphis. Really, really good game. this one that one to me, Kevin, I think is the most interesting. because Memphis six and two, army, five and two. Army's played really, really well. They gotta go on the road though, and I think probably have in terms of another group of six team, their biggest challenge yet. I'm leaning Memphis. I think they get it done. I think they're too much late. I think they can lean on their. front four, front seven to stop the stop the run enough against army and put enough points on the board there. How about you? Kevin: Yeah, Erich, really fun game. Memphis and Army two, six and two ball clubs, a lot on the line here. Total clash of style, which you get this at times in the American, actually a a lot of times with some of the option teams and then the Memphis teams that are high flying and they got the athleticism and the speed and the high powered passing attacks. And I do think that's what's going to be the difference in this game. I like the Tigers at home. Marcus Stokes is having an outstanding season at quarterback. Kale Helms will bring it for the triple option of Army. It's not going to be easy. It's going to be close, but I really like that front four of Memphis. We've talked about that a lot this year. I think their athleticism can make enough plays. I'm not sure Army ha has seen a front like that this year. And the thing that's always tricky with triple option teams is if they get behind, how does that look versus a team like Memphis if Memphis were to jump them early? At the same token, if you're on the army side and you were pulling for the Knights, you'd say, Well, what if they get up 14 0 and and dictate terms with their ground game? I don't think they're going to be able to. I I think this is just a a tough matchup where they're a little overwhelmed athleticism-wise. But Todd Munkin has beaten athletic teams before, so maybe he'll look make me look stupid in this one. But I'm sticking with the Tigers here to get to seven and two. and then of course we gotta give some love to the Beavers. We love Erich: Yeah. Kevin: Oregon State this year. We love what Jamarcus Shepherd has done in Corvallis. And they go out to Fresno State late night Pac-12 game. Come on, Beavers, just pull through here. You're favored, you're the better team. So we can set up that beautiful November 14th showdown of Boise in Oregon State as we get closer to that. So Erich: Did you see what the Oregon State's coach said about the 2014 playoff? I thought I I Kevin: I did, yeah. I don't Erich: I loved his thoughts on it, just in terms of and you know, if anyone hasn't read it, Kevin had a great article on our X page really breaking down the pros and cons of it. And I love how he spoke to the pros of it, which is the participation piece of it and how special that is for college basketball and how if they do it right, it could be for for this. It just you just love seeing a guy. Not only getting results, but one who's clearly in tune and just is a very positive guy. so just love what he's doing there at Oregon State. And yeah, I mean, selfishly rooting against Fresno State here just because you and I want that Boise State, Oregon State matchup that is like not only for everything, and I guess it won't be for everything, because it likely potentially or potentially leads to a rematch game in the conference championship as well. And yeah. just selfishly I'm pulling for them. And I do think they get it done. I just think they're they're too much offensively for Fresno State. Kevin: I agree. And we love getting quarterbacks shoutouts that don't get enough attention. Maybe a Noah Fafita. Bru Braden Atkinson certainly falls in that category. Twenty-four touchdowns and two picks on the air. I know. And don't sleep on AJ Newberry too out of the Erich: Yeah, twenty of are to Legree. No. Kevin: backfield. He went for over a hundred yards receiving last week and rushing. I think he's their second leading receiver after Legree. He has over four hundred yards receiving. Those three kids, the three musketeers, as I like to call special talents. And I just so hope that they run the table until that boisey game. That is gonna be a lot of fun on November 14th. With that said, Erich, I think it's time for categories. Erich: It is time for categories. Kevin: So we love this part of the show, Erich. You are the commissioner of the color palette of the week. As always, there is tons to choose for. I know what I would go for here, but your choice always intrigues me. And what do you got here? Erich: Yeah, being the commissioner of college football jersey colors, Kevin, is it's it's a lot of responsibility, you have to you have to call them like you see them. Wyoming, as much as you and I love their colors, what they did the other week with that all black nonsense, they're they're suspended for a while after after doing that. So this week though, there was options. I went Clemson at Florida State. Just feel like that's gonna be a really good contrast. Florida State's always got great colors. Clemson's got great colors. They are one of the better orange colors in the in the in the country. I just think it's gonna look great and it's gonna be a really interesting game in terms of narrative as well. are we at the point where these fan bases are rooting for their team to lose because they want to move on to a new coach? I'm not sure. but some some anxiety there for both these fan bases, both kind of out of the playoff already. Weird saying that about these two powers at this point of the season, but that game should look in incredible from a a contrast and jersey color perspective. Kevin: I'm with ya. I thought you might go Ohio State USC classic blue Erich: Yeah. Kevin: blood unis. What what was what was the runner up? I I love the jersey so much. What was the runner up this week? Erich: So that one was not the runner up. The runner up was Florida, Georgia. Kevin: can't go yeah, can't go wrong there either. well that leads us into the environment of the week. And you know, Erich, I'm especially fired up for this weekend as always. I love college football on Halloween weekend. There is just something really cool about it. And mainly because the weather starts to turn. I don't know if you noticed, but last week too many sunny games for me. I I I Erich: Yeah. Kevin: was Every game, just bright, pure sun. I need some college football with rain, clouds, some mud, jerseys getting mucked up, some fog, all that type of stuff. And this is usually the weekend. We start to get that, maybe a little breath at night in some areas of the country for the environment of the week, because I think we're gonna get some of the elements. Kinnock Stadium, your Wisconsin Badgers, heading to Iowa. Kickoff temperature right now, 59 degrees rain. There's a 90% chance of rain. It's pretty much supposed to be just steady. You can't beat that. Old school Big Ten football, an 11 a.m. central kickoff. The fans are gonna be right on top of you there. You got the pink locker room, of course. Wisconsin has to deal with. It's the hundredth meeting all time. Fox is there, of course they'll make a big deal of it, which it is. This is a huge rivalry that has meaning for the first time in a while. The crowd's gonna be juiced. I was ticked they're out of the rankings. Wisconsin's fired up to be in the rankings for a first time. It's gonna be loud. It doesn't matter what time it is. And then you add in the rain and the clouds and the crispfall air. That is what Halloween is. Son, you're welcome in July. Get out of here when I'm watching football. That's what this game's all about. environment of the week in Iowa City for the Hawkeyes and the Badgers. Erich: I love it and Joel Clatt has to call the game after watching one of the teams he loves glazing out west, USC, who just got physically spanked by Wisconsin last week and now he has to go call their game. So have fun with that, Joel Clatt. I know you don't want to call this game and you never watch it, but I'm glad you have to. Now that being said, I do like Joe Clatt and love how he calls his games. But he doesn't w watch hardly anything outside of what he calls and the the powers. So I digress. Kevin: And and I think he has to do that 'cause Colin Cowherd routinely has him on a show, who's obviously a S C fan, so he's yeah, trying Erich: Yeah. yeah. Kevin: to trying to keep the peace there. Erich: Yeah. if you listen to his show, you're gonna hear about USC, you're gonna hear about UCLA, and you're gonna hear about Ohio State. Tell you that much. point spread left out of the week, Kevin. Who are you rolling with? Kevin: I'm rolling with Auburn. Give me Auburn and the points going down to Oxford. mislaying 13 seems like a lot for a team that can really struggle to defend the run. That, of course, was their undoing and let Texas get back on track last week. And Erich, we've talked about the SEC. It's just Every other week, this roller coaster. And I think Auburn a couple weeks ago, they upset number one Georgia. And then that's why I actually picked against them last week because they came home. I thought that would work against them and their focus. And LSU came in there and blew the doors off them. Now they get a leave Auburn and head to Oxford. I think that'll help them clear their heads. And I think Ole Miss might be a little wounded realizing we're not quite as good as as last year. Maybe we miss lane. Confidence could be a little shaken. And I think the rebels will get out of there, but I think this is overtime or or really, really close as the SEC carousel continues to spin with these teams every other week. It just seems like Jekyll and Hyde. So give me the Tigers and almost two touchdowns that they're getting. Erich: Big result for your predictions earlier in the year that Auburn would take a step forward, maybe get to eight wins and Ole Miss would take a step back and maybe only be seven or eight wins. So this one can kind of really vault that Kevin: The Yeah. Erich: in the right direction for you. I'm going with BYU laying sixteen and a half against ASU, Kevin. I had a great time in Lavelle at Lavelle Edwards stadium the other week when I was there. this one, I I'm just really worried about what I've seen defensively from BYU in multiple spots this year with their tackling. And they can also go the other way here. I think I think this is like I'm way wrong or way right. It's not gonna be like they're barely covering, because if BYU does clean up what they do defensively and causes ASU to make mistakes, which they've been prone to do this year. Then they could just blow them out. but I'm gonna take ASU keeping this one close here and BYU not getting that or laying that 16 and a half that they're showing. let's do this a little different this week, Kevin. Let's do our game of the week before upset of the week this week. I have Arizona upsetting tactics tech. We talked about this one earlier. I don't need to belabor the point. Noel Fafita, I think, is going to keep doing what he's been doing, and I think they win pretty big. Kevin: Yeah, I'm I'm with you on Arizona as well. Game of the week for me, I went to the cocktail party. Florida, Georgia. Love when these teams get together. Georgia, I got winning a tough battle by about ten points. I do think there will be a lot of points in this game. Florida can run the ball with Jaden Baugh, but In the end, the dogs are too much. I think they get after whoever plays quarterback for Florida. hopefully Philo's healthy and gets healthy for the Gators. John Summerl gets his first chance to taste what this rivalry is all about. And I'm intrigued to see it. And yeah, that is the pick. Erich: Love it. Upset of the week. I think we have the same one. We're we're both Kevin: We do. Erich: we're both rolling with the Trojans over Ohio State. Which is interesting. Kevin: Yeah. Erich: But it feels right. Kevin: It it does and it doesn't. I I've I've hemmed I've hemmed and hawed with this one. Yeah. It's tough. It's tough to pick Ohio State without Julian Saiyan. I know obviously that Ryan Day is a great quarterback coach and he's gonna prepare whether it's Luke. Fehey or Tavian St. Clair, I think that's still up for grabs at this point in the week. The thing where I would normally roll Ohio State here or roll with them is if I could really count on that running game. And they've Erich: Yep. Or a QB that could scramble. Kevin: correct. Erich: They don't have either of those things going for them this week. Kevin: They don't have either of those things. And USC's number one strength on a really soft defense is that front four that can be pretty nasty with Jakeem Stewart and Luke Waiffell and all those guys up there. And with a new quarterback, I think Gary Patterson's gonna be bringing even more pressure than normal from the secondary linebackers and saying, Hey, like, yeah, we'll put two guys on Jeremiah Smith, but we're gonna send other guys and disguise coverages and We might be a little bit vulnerable back there, but we'll take our chances and hey, let the young kid at quarterback beat ya. So this one could be kind of ugly and and low scoring, where you would think earlier in the year, if if Saiyan is healthy, maybe it's a shootout. It does scare me because Jada Mayava is such a good quarterback. But you know, Wisconsin showed the blueprint of you know, if you can I don't think they'll be held to seven points again, but Ohio State's defense. is elite so never say never that would be really surprising though in the Coliseum but I'll go Trojans here this is a game where I'm rolling with it but I I don't feel comfortable it is a bounce back spot though for USC I mean If you're not playing inspired and fired up and locked in after what transpired last week in Madison, and you get to come home in a primetime game and host Ohio State, if this isn't anything but a really close game down to the wire, then it it's gotta be it's gotta be time for Lincoln Riley. If this gets ugly, there's no way it can. I don't think it will without Julian saying Ohio State's defense. I think it's gonna show out, make it very tough for USC. But I think I think Jaden Maiava and Trent Mosley are gonna make just enough plays outside. And I think Ohio State will have the ball last and they're just gonna come up a little bit short. And USC, after all the talk of Lincoln Riley this week, and they're soft, and it's time for him to go. It would be so college football for them to knock off Ohio State. So why not? Let's go with USC this week. Erich: Yeah, just to be clear, there's two reasons I'm picking this game. One, like you just said, the college football aspect of this game, how it matches up and so forth. The other thing is that because Julian Saiyan's out for the year and I don't I'm a quarterback's guy. JD Mayaba, when he's not under fire and has missiles named Sebastian Cheeks in his face every time he touches the ball, he's been pretty darn good this year. And so I think USC is also the type of team who loves to play up to their competition when they're playing against one of those marquee teams. You know, so they're at home, their fans are all going to show up on time for this game because it's Ohio State. It's going to be the first game at the Coliseum that's been rocking from beginning to end. So give me all the college football reasons I just listened there as to why they would win. Well, why USC would beat Ohio State. Yeah. Take away the Julian saying thing though. And I'd be going to Ohio State all day here. So just want to make that very clear. But give me the Trojans. And then for at least the next week, Lincoln Riley's name won't be talked about being in the hot seat. Kevin: The the other thing too is Ohio State's defense is very good, but we'll really get to see how good it is. Cause if you look at the best teams they've played, Texas, we know the issues they have offensively there. Erich: Yep. Kevin: And then trying to think of the other teams in Indiana. I know we gave tons of credit to Michigan's defense last week, and Michigan's defense is a championship level defense. But if you are a great offense in Indiana, you should have still been able to put up like 20 points last week. Instead you had six going into overtime. They miss Mendoza. They miss guys like Surratt. It's definitely, you know, a step back. And then who's the third best offense you'd say Ohio State's played? Is it so you have Texas, Indiana? Erich: That's a good question. Kevin: I think I think well, either way, those are those are your top two. The USC's offense when they're rolling, it is much Erich: He's really good. Kevin: more it is much more dynamic. So Curious to see, you know, just how good Ohio State is versus a high flying attack. Although Erich: Yeah. Kevin: is it really high flying? They were held to seven last week, but once again, Wisconsin's proven themselves to be a great defense. Erich: Yeah, and and I and I think the other thing too is Ohio State doesn't have a Sebastian Cheeks in their team. They have a collective really good front four. And Kevin: Mm-hmm. Erich: what how many teams do maybe two or three have a guy like that across the country? So it's important to call that out. I mean, if you remove Smash and Cheeks from the game. It's a totally different game last week, Wisconsin against USC. So I think that's also going in USC's favor this week as there's not that significant matchup issue on the edge. I still think there'll be pressure, but I don't think it's gonna be like it was last week. So I agree with you on all those points. But yeah, that's the preview, everyone. So should be a fun slate. I'm excited to Be coming off the World Series win here, Gold Brewers, one more time before the show ends there, Kevin. But that's it. That's the that's the preview. We'll see you all for the recap here when we record on Sunday. Kevin: Go crew world champs. Thank you, everyone. Thank you, everyone, for listening. Cannot wait for another college football Saturday. Good luck to your teams and hit us, hit us up in the comments, like we always tell you. Ask us questions. Give if you want thoughts on a game we didn't cover, we're more than happy to do that. It is our passion, as you know. so and thank you to those that have been doing that. It's been a lot of fun so far. So have a great rest of your week, guys. We'll see ya.
