  [SPEAKER_02]: God, we are.
• 5:24
  [SPEAKER_02]: I'm not joking.
• 5:25
  [SPEAKER_02]: Jean, if you do, I'm probably listening right now, can you please, is there a friend that you could text maybe get them to be listeners also that'd be nice well and if Jean does text and she becomes the oldest texture we have.
• 5:46
  [SPEAKER_00]: I saw this history from now.
• 5:47
  [SPEAKER_00]: We do not condone gambling on the show.
• 5:49
  [SPEAKER_00]: We're not a gambling show.
• 5:50
  [SPEAKER_00]: We talk about because odds are fun odds are part of the sports radio haven't for a long time.
• 5:55
  [SPEAKER_00]: But Polymark is assessing each big 10 teams' chances of winning the conference title in 2026.
• 6:01
  [SPEAKER_00]: And a lot of teams are at 2% which is the lowest they will go and the brass is part of that.
• 6:06
  [SPEAKER_00]: But here are the actual chances to win the Big 10 per poly market.
• 6:12
  [SPEAKER_00]: Ohio State 32% chance to win the Big 10 conference in 2026.
• 6:17
  [SPEAKER_00]: Oregon 26%.
• 6:17
  [SPEAKER_00]: So 32 Ohio State 26 Oregon 23% in the end.
• 6:25
  [SPEAKER_00]: Here comes the drop-off.
• 6:27
  [SPEAKER_00]: Here we go, which you would assume after that U.S.C.
• 6:30
  [SPEAKER_00]: is fourth at 9%.
• 6:33
  [SPEAKER_00]: Michigan fifth at eight percent chance to win the conference Penn State with Matt Campbell first year Campbell by percent chance to win the conference Washington at four percent and all other teams sit at two percent Nebraska was constant Illinois all those teams at two percent sometimes not be lower I mean you just can't tell me that Nebraska doesn't have a better percentage chance than Rutgers
• 7:00
  [SPEAKER_02]: They don't have a better percentage chance than Purdue.
• 7:03
  [SPEAKER_03]: So, well, how do you, you're just, you're just, you're just, I don't know.
• 7:06
  [SPEAKER_00]: I can't, I can't explain that on Paulian Market.
• 7:11
  [SPEAKER_03]: How about Ohio State?
• 7:12
  [SPEAKER_03]: One and three shot, right?
• 7:14
  [SPEAKER_03]: One and three shot pretty much.
• 7:15
  [SPEAKER_03]: That's why they say our goals to win the national championship.
• 7:19
  [SPEAKER_03]: I like what we're going to a little bit better than Ohio State.
• 7:23
  [SPEAKER_03]: Um, but in you guys, of course, love and DNA.
• 7:27
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yep.
• 7:27
  [SPEAKER_00]: I do.
• 7:29
  [SPEAKER_02]: We do the reason I was, I like them too.
• 7:32
  [SPEAKER_02]: The reason that I feel that Penn State should be much higher than what they are is that the top three teams are what again, Ohio State Oregon, Oregon and Indiana, they don't play any of them.
• 7:43
  [SPEAKER_02]: So when you don't play the top three, that's really it right away.
• 7:46
  [SPEAKER_02]: Like, well, you we got us here.
• 7:48
  [SPEAKER_02]: We have this, that's fun.
• 7:49
  [SPEAKER_02]: It's huge advantage, you know, if they don't have the top three, I wish I could push back and I'm not going there.
• 7:53
  [SPEAKER_02]: So there there there there there there are numbers should be much higher just because they have a great chance based off.
• 7:57
  [SPEAKER_02]: When you don't play the top three teams, wow, you're on your way up the trouble.
• 8:02
  [SPEAKER_03]: I have I agree with you.
• 8:05
  [SPEAKER_03]: I'm very.
• 8:07
  [SPEAKER_03]: anal.
• 8:08
  [SPEAKER_03]: And like I can't say that about Penn State when I don't know what they have.
• 8:12
  [SPEAKER_03]: I don't know what they have.
• 8:14
  [SPEAKER_03]: Well, I don't know what all those guys are about that came from all these different places.
• 8:18
  [SPEAKER_03]: I have a good feeling on Oregon because I saw it, I've seen those guys play.
• 8:22
  [SPEAKER_03]: Those two rush ends and Dante more and the running bags.
• 8:26
  [SPEAKER_03]: I've seen all that.
• 8:27
  [SPEAKER_03]: I don't know what Penn State looks like.
• 8:30
  [SPEAKER_03]: I know what Ohio State looks like except they have a new very new defense, I know the offense looks like.
• 8:35
  [SPEAKER_03]: Yeah, offense should have an idea of defense you don't, but now I would get I would you could also say this though.
• 8:40
  [SPEAKER_03]: Oh, come on simple, the history, there's history that you can, that you can consider.
• 8:46
  [SPEAKER_03]: When is Ohio State ever bad?
• 8:47
  [SPEAKER_03]: You think are going to have bad defensive players?
• 8:49
  [SPEAKER_03]: No, I've really good defensive players.
• 8:51
  [SPEAKER_03]: You can't say that about everybody though, right?
• 8:54
  [SPEAKER_03]: Can you say that about Penn State?
• 8:55
  [SPEAKER_03]: Do you put Penn State in that conversation?
• 8:57
  [SPEAKER_03]: What's Penn State?
• 8:58
  [SPEAKER_03]: You know they're going to have a good defense.
• 9:00
  [SPEAKER_02]: Well, I don't know.
• 9:01
  [SPEAKER_02]: You can't some years this year you can because of the, again, the coaching change, you don't know all that.
• 9:05
  [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, what they're going to look like, I'd always just say, well, they're going to have a quarter back that's not been in the big 10, but he does have about 50 starts underneath them.
• 9:13
  [SPEAKER_02]: Rock-o.
• 9:14
  [SPEAKER_02]: He's got a lot of stars, 50's a little high, but he's got, he's probably got a little star.
• 9:17
  [SPEAKER_02]: They brought that running back from Iowa State, too.
• 9:20
  [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, so they have some players and I just say, but the schedule would be in my reason that they'd be how you've taught me to look harder at schedules.
• 9:26
  [SPEAKER_02]: I used to mean U.S.C.
• 9:27
  [SPEAKER_02]: is a bit forth.
• 9:27
  [SPEAKER_02]: They're scheduled.
• 9:28
  [SPEAKER_02]: They're scheduled.
• 9:28
  [SPEAKER_02]: They're scheduled, brutal.
• 9:29
  [SPEAKER_02]: It's good to do that for me.
• 9:29
  [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, U.S. just scheduled.
• 9:30
  [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you're, you
• 9:40
  [SPEAKER_03]: It is.
• 9:41
  [SPEAKER_03]: He has not made to play off.
• 9:42
  [SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
• 9:42
  [SPEAKER_00]: Here's who you have.
• 9:44
  [SPEAKER_00]: U. S. C. We'll start off a San Jose state.
• 9:46
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yep.
• 9:47
  [SPEAKER_00]: That's on week zero.
• 9:47
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
• 9:48
  [SPEAKER_00]: Again, it should win because that's week zero.
• 9:50
  [SPEAKER_00]: That's week zero.
• 9:51
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
• 9:51
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yes.
• 9:51
  [SPEAKER_00]: It is week one.
• 9:53
  [SPEAKER_00]: They will host Fresno State.
• 9:54
  [SPEAKER_00]: They should win, but that could get interesting right in the butt game.
• 9:57
  [SPEAKER_00]: It is a part of your not excited 100% and they'll host Louisiana, the raging cages.
• 10:03
  [SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
• 10:04
  [SPEAKER_00]: Then they had to rockers long.
• 10:05
  [SPEAKER_03]: Not easy.
• 10:06
  [SPEAKER_02]: I don't think that's easy to make that fly, but much more talent.
• 10:09
  [SPEAKER_02]: Okay.
• 10:10
  [SPEAKER_02]: So you're still looking at four.
• 10:11
  [SPEAKER_00]: No, then they're back home against Oregon.
• 10:15
  [SPEAKER_02]: The same right after going across the country.
• 10:18
  [SPEAKER_02]: The next game where they got next, and they will host Washington.
• 10:21
  [SPEAKER_00]: So back to back you got about that one organ washing back to back keep going then they will have a bite No, sorry, then they will go to Penn State then they go to fly across the country.

• 11:24
  [SPEAKER_03]: And they have Oregon at home.
• 11:26
  [SPEAKER_03]: And if you're Lincoln Riley, you got to imagine if you got to get Oregon.

• 12:20
  [SPEAKER_02]: There was a number of a chance, apparently, Ohio, Nebraska, Nebraska.
• 12:24
  [SPEAKER_02]: I think Colander any matter who Iowa takes out their quarterback,
