  Speaker 1: You gotta slip in your palm and a hole in
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: your checks. Black coffee on the felt. Man, you look
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: like a mist three team Parlette turned the dust in
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: your head. Now you stare at the chips like they
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: made you this man. But don't you go quiet. Don't
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: you fade from the floor. Your name steal mean something
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: on somebody for show. Put the glass down, baby, look
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: at me. No, hold on, hold on nothing nice now,
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: hold on, hold on me, but it all get the crown.
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: Hold on, hold on and stay with me.
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: Now what's up or about? It's towed back with you
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: with Toadstool Sports. This is gonna be the college football
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: preview show. I mean, I'm calling it best bets I'm
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: gonna give out. I guess some ideas of sort of
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: what I think might be the value plays in the
• 1:42
  Speaker 2: different conferences here. Not that I know anything about it,
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: but I have It's an ever changing landscape, man, with
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: all the transfers, the coaching carouselics, so many different things
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: going on. If you saw me do the show last year,
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: and basically I have the odds in front of me,
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: and then I'm looking at how many returning starters are
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: there for each team, Like, who are the big transfers
• 2:01
  Speaker 2: that are kind of involved in some of these teams?
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: What were the like major coaching changes, et cetera. And
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: then this year we do have completely changing conferences too.
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: The PAC twelve is back. It's reformed with teams that
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: are sort of lesser conference teams have moved up into
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: that new conference. And you know, I mean, I guess
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna at the end of the show I can
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: kind of talk about like the actual championship ods and
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: who like where I think there might be some value there,
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: I guess, But again, I mean, the future market is
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: not really my main thing here. What I will say
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: is that, I mean, everybody pretty much knows college football.
• 2:39
  Speaker 2: You basically it's a two conference sport at this point,
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: Like you have, the Big Ten is probably the best conference,
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: and then the SEC is right behind that. Every other
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: conference is a step behind that, you know what I mean,
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: Like after those two, you got, I guess the ACC,
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: the Big Twelve, the reform PAC twelve. I guess we're
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: gonna see how good that conference is. Then the Mountain
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: West is probably gonna be a little bit worse because
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: some of those better teams moved up into the PAC
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: twelve moved up, and then you have like the little
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: guys that go like behind that too, And of course
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: one of those smaller conference teams, I think, by rule,
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: has to get into the stupid playoffs. So the the
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: power what is it, the Power five? I don't even
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: think it's called the Power five anymore, whatever the hell
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: it's called. I don't know, man, but I guess let's
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: get into it. I got the odds up here. I
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: don't know if I'm allowed to say the name of
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: this book, but you know what name, well, you know
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: what this book is. I mean, I don't know if
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: I'm allowed to even show the screen, to be honest,
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: but nobody watches this show anyway. So whatever, we're gonna
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: start with the ACC here. I think I'm just gonna
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: kind of go in order of how they're listed here,
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: so it's probably alphabetical, which maybe that's not the most
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: exciting thing to do. But the ACC. Of course, this
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: does not show my guys here on my hat Boston
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: College because you can't actually bet on them here. I
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: don't even know what BC's are odds are, but they're
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: probably gonna be fairly irrelevant. Maybe a bowl team. But
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: Miami is the team that is the favorite to win
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: this conference again and minus won forty six. Even though
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: Carson Beck has gone, He's in the NFL. Now, Miami
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: went and they replaced him with Darien Mensa, one of
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: the biggest transfers of the offseason. He's been all over
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: the place already. He's a quarterback. He was that I
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: believe he was a tulane first, that he was a
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: duke last year. So now he's transferring within the ACC.
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: How is that gonna work out? I don't know, but
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: he is used to being in this conference at least,
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: so Miami is definitely going to be in contention to
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: win this conference again. Do I think there's actually value
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: in laying a minus one forty six favorite of them
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: to win the ACC? Probably not. I mean, everybody knows
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: that they made the championship last year, and everybody's gonna
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: remember that. Everybody is probably gonna be kind of overrating Miami,
• 4:54
  Speaker 2: I would say, so, maybe you want to look somewhere
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: else here. As far as the returning production is concerned,
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: I kind of I like this list of returning starters better,
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: although I do have this percentage of returning production coming
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: back as well, But I think the returning starters is
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: maybe a little bit of a better way to look.
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: Although here, like Miami's not going to rank high here,
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: like they do not have a ton of returning production,
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: so that kind of leads me to want to go
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: kind of against them as well as far as like
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: they're actual starters returning. They have very few starters coming
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: back on offense, very few on the line as well.
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: They do have a lot of defensive backs coming back
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: on the defense, but one of Miami's strengths was the
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: line on both sides of the ball. They were really
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: good in the trenches last year, and a lot of
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: those guys are gonna be gone, so I think Miami
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: could really kind of only take a step back here.
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: SMU was at plus six fifty to win this conference,
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: and they do have a lot of returning production, so
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: I mean it's possible that maybe SMU is worth a
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: look there and will be in the running. They're bringing
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: back quarterback Jennings again this year. I think this is
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: gonna be at least his third straight year being quarterback
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: for them, So they're bringing back a lot of production
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: on the offensive side of things. But defensively, they might
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: have some problems. And then I heard a lot of
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: guys kind of hyping up Louisville at plus eight point fifty.
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: But I'm not really sure what the hype is with Louisville.
• 6:15
  Speaker 2: They're bringing back their running back, Isaac Brown, but they
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: don't have a lot of offensive returning start. They really
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: just don't have a lot of returning starters in general.
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: And their quarterback is going to be a guy that
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: they've gotten a transfer from Ohio State, I'm pretty sure,
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: and he really hasn't even played, which is let me
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: say I got everything all over the place here, Wait,
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: where's my depth chart? I hear it is Louisville. Let
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: me say their quarterback is Lincoln Kine Holes. Seriously, no
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: idea who that even is. But Louisville, it's gonna be
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: all about the fact that they're running back is returning.
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: But I'm not sure that i'd really love Louisville here, Like,
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: maybe if you're gonna do anything with the ACC, maybe
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: you do just take the shot with SMU because that
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: experience will probably at least kind of loom large there.
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: Then you do have to also take into account, like
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: you know, are there coaching changes here or whatever. As
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: far as I SMU, they did lose their offensive coordinator
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: it looks like to Missouri State, but that's probably something
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: that's not going to be a huge deal. I wouldn't
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: imagine Clemson at plus fourteen hundred. They're always kind of
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: in the mix. But I looked at what they got
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: going on, and they have a new quarterback coming in Vizena,
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: who I think was a backup at Clemson, so he
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: is in the same system, so he does know the system.
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: But I'm not really sure that's going to be that
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: good of a thing, to be honest, He's going to
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: be coming in with a lack of experience at least.
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: But they're at plus fourteen hundred. Clemson is I believe
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: they're not making I don't think Clemson is making any
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: coaching changes or anything like that, right, let me say no.
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: So I think the coaching changes are kind of few
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: and far between. Here. Pittsburgh at nineteen to one, maybe
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: a little bit interesting. They're bringing back returning starters, so
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: that's the reason why I think they might be a
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: little bit more interesting. But maybe I overrate their returning
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: starters and underrate the transfers. But I think if you
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: have returning production like this, the thing is these guys
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: know the system already, so they're like ready to go.
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: So Pittsburgh is bringing back one of their quarterbacks who's
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: played in the last couple of years, Heinschel, so he
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: is going to be back, as well as basically their
• 8:19
  Speaker 2: entire offensive line coming back and half of the defense.
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: So they have a decent amount of returning production coming
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: back there too. So those are probably the two teams
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: that I would look for for maybe having some value
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: in the ACC SMU and pitt at those prices. But
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: ACC is going to be a bad conference, dude. I mean,
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: Miami is certainly going to be in contention again. I
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: think a lot of the teams that kind of surprised
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: last year are all going to take steps back. Like Virginia,
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: like a team that came from out of nowhere and
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: had a really good season last year. I don't really
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: see them repeating what they did last year. They're at
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: twenty to one this year. Georgia texts all the way
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: down to forty five to one because they lost their
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: quarterback Haines King, so they're gonna be sort of I
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: think in a bit of a rebuild mode, I would imagine.
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: Let me see, Yeah, they're not bringing back a whole
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: lot of starting production at all, especially on the offense.
• 9:11
  Speaker 2: So it looks like Georgia Tech will be rebuilding, although
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: I don't know, you know, the I mean, of course,
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: there are always transfers to stuff like that. Their quarterback
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: is going to be Alberto Mendoza, not Fernando Mendoz. I
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: have no idea who this is, to be honest, he
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: was on Indiana apparently, Wait is he related to Fernando Mendoza?
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: And then he was he was on Indiana? Like do
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: they have two brothers on their team? I don't even know.
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: I'd have to look that up. I honestly have no clue.
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: I mean, I dude, I don't know enough of the
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: details here. But Florida State of forty three to one.
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: I mean, I know Florida State has been awful recently,
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: but historically they're really good programs. So I'm wondering, like,
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: when is this program going to rise up again? You know,
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: it's it seems like at some point that's going to happen.
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: But I don't know that they're not bringing back a
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: lot of returning stars, So I don't know if I
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: really love that this year's Either NC State is at
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: twenty to one. I mean, they seemed to always just
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: be kind of mediocre. Virginia Tech twenty eight to one.
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: I know Virginia Tech lost drones to the draft their quarterback.
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: Then I guess cal is there forty four to one,
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: Georgia Tech forty five to one, Bill Belichick with North
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: Carolina all the way down at one hundred and fifty
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: to one. North Carolina is supposed to suck again under
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: Bill Belichick. I mean, I think the Belichick experiment is
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: not panning out, and they're behind wake Forest at eighty
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: four to one. Duke at eighty eight to one. Duke
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: is another team that I think is taking a major
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: step back because they're losing mens. I mean, they were
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: competing for the conference last year, but I don't see
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: them doing a whole lot. And then Syracuse and North
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: Carolina both of the same odds. Probably nothing going on there.
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: And then Stanford at three hundred to one, even though
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: I think Stanford is actually one of the teams returning
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: some of the most start they're actually returning twelve stars.
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: They're returning most of their defense, and they're running back
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: from last year. Seems like it's not enough because they're
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: still ranked like they're still ranked as the worst team
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: in this conference. I remember that the travel is kind
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: of ridiculous in a conference like this, especially for the
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: California teams Callen Stanford constantly having to go cross country,
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: which is just I still hate these conference realignments. It's
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: just stupid. But yeah, I think SMU might be the
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: best shot as far as getting value to win this
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: thing at six and a half to one, and then second,
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: I would say Pittsburgh at nineteen to one. The American
• 11:36
  Speaker 2: Conference seems like it's kind of wide open, with Navy
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: being plus three sixty. Navy, I believe won it last year.
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: If I'm not mistaud, I don't even remember. Dude, did
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: n't even win it last year. I think they did.
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: But Navy, I mean, I think they're gonna be just
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: overhyped as they usually are, but they always kind of
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: have a shot here because teams like Navy and Army
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: Armies at eight to one teams they run the triple option.
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: Although the teams in this conference know the triple option
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: just because they see it from those two teams, so
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: they have to be prepared for it. But the triple
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: option seems to always kind of do well in a
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: conference like this and throw other teams off a bit
• 12:14
  Speaker 2: just because they still don't see it that much. And
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: I think Army at eight to one might actually be
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: an interesting look in this conference because it's a totally
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: wide open conference. They're bringing back their quarterback helms, and
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: they're bringing back eleven starters, which includes most of their offense,
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: so that offense is probably gonna be going like from
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: the get go, so I think they're gonna be a
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: potent offensive team. Their defense might suck though. And then
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: UTSA at plus four to seventy five I think is
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: also somewhat interesting. They're bringing back Owen McCown again their quarterback,
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: which seems like he's been there for forever. They have
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: eight returning starters, which is the majority of their offense
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: is coming back, but not much on their defense, so
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: they're not known as a defensive team. But UTSA has
• 13:00
  Speaker 2: been known for having a very balanced offense, so they
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: might be in the mix still as well. Oh, it
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: was was South Florida I think was one of the
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: teams that competed for the conference last year. They're at
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: seven to one. I'm not exactly sure what's going on
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: with South Florida this year. They're bringing back almost nobody,
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: so it seems like South Florida is sort of in
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: a bit of a rebuild here. So I don't know
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: if I love that. Although I don't really know what
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: kind of transfers they're bringing in here. It looks like quarterback.
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: They got Van Buren, who I guess was at LSU.
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: He must have been one of the backups at LSU,
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: then he was at he was at Mississippi State before that,
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: so he has some experience in an SEC system, though
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: not really playing in actual games. And then East Carolina
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: is at plus five point fifty. I'm not exactly sure why.
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: Let me see, East Caroline only has three returning starters,
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: so it seems like they're kind of in a rebuild
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: mode as well, so them being at odds like that,
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: that doesn't totally make sense to me, although it must
• 14:02
  Speaker 2: mean they went out and they got some strong transfers
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: or something. Griffiths is their quarterback. I have no idea
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: who this guy is, so I don't know, man, it
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: looks like he was at Texas Tech last year, though
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: it didn't play a whole lot, so he was in a
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: good system over there. They have a good offense. But
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: I don't know, man, I mean to me, I think
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: UTSA and Army might be the teams to look at,
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: because again it's me with the returning starters. I think
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: those are the teams to maybe look at. And the
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: Memphis is at plus seven to fifth. The Memphis seems
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: to kind of always be in the mix at least,
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: but they're only bringing back one starter, So I don't know, man,
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, again, UTSA at plus four to seventy five,
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: Army at plus eight hundred, and I think those are
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: maybe the value plays in this conference, and I think
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: Navy will still be there in the mix there. As
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: far as Navy's returning production, let me see, Navy is
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: bringing back a lot of guys too. They're bringing back
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: more than half of their defense, about half of their
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: offense as well, not their quarterback or running back, so
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: they're bringing back basically their entire offensive line. So Navy
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: does have returning production here as well, just they're losing
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: some of their offensive skill players. Then Tulane at plus
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: eight fifties sort of in the mix. They I believe,
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: changed coaches. They got Will Hall, they elevated him from
• 15:20
  Speaker 2: offensive assistant to their coach apparently, so they're gonna be
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: implementing a new scheme. We'll see how long that takes there.
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: They don't have a whole lot of returning starters either,
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: so I don't know. I'm not too high in Tulane
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: take it too long to talk about this shitty conference,
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: But again, you got what I think there. As far
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: as maybe value Big twelve, one of the bigger conferences here,
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: Texas Tech is the favorite to win this thing again
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: at minus one point fifteen. They kind of ran away
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: with the conference last year. But I don't know if
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: I love Texas Tech. Man, It's just they put a
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: lot of money into the program, oil money, so they
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: can kind of just go out and buy players. They're
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: returning a lot of guys, though not their quarterback though Morton,
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: who got drafted by the Patriots. But they're bringing back
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: multiple running backs, wide receiver, a tight end, and more
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: than half of their offensive line plus more than half
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: of their defense. So Texas Tech does have a lot
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: of returning production here. So that's gonna be interesting. They
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: must have gone out and gotten some quarterback here. Let
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: me say they have a Will Hammond, who is I
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: think he was on Yeah, I was gonna say he
• 16:27
  Speaker 2: was one of the quarterbacks on Texas Tech. He filled
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: in for Morton I think when Morton was hurt and whatever.
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: So that's actually not that bad either. Texas Tech is
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: just gonna use a guy that's already been in their
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: system for two years. So Texas Tech. Yeah, they're definitely
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: gonna be competitive again in this conference, although I don't
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: know if there's gonna be value there because everybody just
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: loves the Texas Tech offense and they looked really good
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: last year. I'd be looking more towards BYU or Utah here,
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: though PYU is at plus five point fifty. BYU is
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: bringing back a lot of guys, including their quarterback. I'm
• 16:59
  Speaker 2: pretty sure. Yeah, Bear Bachmeyer, he's coming back for a
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: second straight year. With BYU, they're bringing back almost their
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: entire defense and like half of their offense. So BYU
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: should basically hit the ground running. And the thing to
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: like about BYU and Utah in this conference is that
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: they're the only two teams that play like a physical
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: style really in this conference, and that I think throws
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: these other teams off because these other teams are a
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: bit more focused on finesse for lack of a better word,
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: like the physical teams tend to be more tough. And
• 17:33
  Speaker 2: that's why Utah has always been really good in like
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: the Pac twelve and the Big twelve, because they're one
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: of the only teams that does that. BYU kind of
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: does that as well. Utah plus seven fifty is interesting.
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: They lost their quarterback, they lost their coach. They do
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: have their quarterback, back Dampier, he's coming back for Utah.
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: They lost their coach, Winningham, who's been there for forever,
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: which you might think that's gonna cause them to take
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: a step back because he's going to Michigan, so maybe.
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: But the thing about Utah is they've they've been planning
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: on this and they have elevated one of their other
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: coaches who's already been in the system to their head coach,
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: which is, let me see, he must be listened. Oh,
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: I guess he's not listed here. I don't know. Yeah,
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: but Utah, I forget the guy's name. But Utah has
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: elevated a guy who's already been in their coaching staff
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: for multiple years to coach, and he's gonna run the
• 18:26
  Speaker 2: same system that Whittingham did, so I think Utah is
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: gonna still have some continuity there, so I don't mind
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: Utah here. Utah is only bringing back five returning starters though,
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: which does include their quarterback, though dampier, but that dampens
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: the hype for Utah a little bit there because I'm
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: assuming witting Him is taking some of his guys over
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: to Michigan with him too. And then you got Kansas
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: State of fourteen to one. I don't know exactly what
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: to you know, what there is to necessarily love about
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: Kansas State. I think they under last year, though I
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: will say that they're bringing back nine returning starters, which
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: does include Avery Johnson, their quarterback, so they do have
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: some continuity there. On the offense, they're at fourteen to one,
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: Houston's at fifteen and a half to one. A lot
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: of this I'm just kind of flying by the seat
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: of my pantsy Houston is bringing back a lot of
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: starters though they're bringing back Wegman their quarterback. They're bringing
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: back most of their wide receiving corps, so it's gonna
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: be a lot of similar guys there, and they're bringing
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: back a lot of their defenders as well, a lot
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: of their defensive backs coming back. So Houston with a
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: lot of returning starters here with twelve so Houston, Yeah,
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: I mean, I guess there are some things to like there.
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: Then I don't know. After that, you got TCU at
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: twenty to one, Arizona at twenty two to one, Arizona
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: State at twenty five to one. I believe Levitt left. Yeah,
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: Levitt left Arizona State. He was the top ranked transfer,
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: the quarterback from Arizona State. He was hurt at the
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: end of last year. I believe he went to LSU.
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: So I think he's gonna be the starter for LSU
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: maybe this year, but yeah, he's gone from Arizona State.
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: Then you have Oklahoma State at twenty nine to one.
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: One thing I forgot to talk about was the drop
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: off with North Texas in the American Conference. They're at
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: thirty to one. Now their quarterback who was really good
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: last year, mess to Maker. He's on Oklahoma State now.
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure so Oklahoma State may improve their offense
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: a bit with him there. As far as Oklahoma State,
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: They're not returning a lot of starters though, so I
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: don't know, but they might see some improvement there. Baylor
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: at forty nine to one. Baylor looks like they're taking
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: a step back. I know, their quarterback got drafted. They're
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: only bringing back five starters. So their quarterback, Sawyer Robertson
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: is at his name, he got drafted, I think somewhere
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: in the NFL. And then after that, I mean, I
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: don't know, the rest of the teams in this conference
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: is not considered to be particularly good. Let's say, probably
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: a drop off for UCF this year. Colorado, of course,
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: you know, no longer a shit or of Sanders or whatever,
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: though I don't think they had them last year either.
• 21:07
  Speaker 2: And Iowa State is considered to be the worst team
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: in the conference now because basically their entire team is
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: now Penn State, which I'll talk about next when I
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: get to the Big Ten. But yeah, I think as
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: far as the most value here, I would probably say
• 21:21
  Speaker 2: BYU at plus five point fifty because physicality plus a
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: lot of returning starters. I always kind of like Utah,
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: and Utah was kind of my pick last year, but
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: I'm looking for value here, right, So usually I'm not
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: going to be saying there's value in the favored unless
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: I really think there is. But I don't really think
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: there is. With Texas Tech there so, and maybe Houston
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: just because of the amount of returning production they have there,
• 21:45
  Speaker 2: they might be in the mix. It's kind of a
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: weak conference, so we'll see. And then as far as
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: TCU actually don't know what they're their returning production is
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: kind of limited. They're bringing back a decent amount of
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: their defense, but their defense wasn't even good, so only
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: eight returning starters there for TCU. All right, Big Ten
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: probably the best conference in college football. They probably had
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: the two best teams from last year. Ohio State and
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: Indiana were probably the top two teams. Ohio State is
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: the favorite to win this conference this year, although plus
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: money plus one eighty, Oregon right behind that at plus
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: two forty, and then Indiana plus two sixty, and there's
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: a big gap after those three teams. Ohio State's gonna
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: have some continuity because Saying is going to be their
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: quarterback and they're bringing back eleven starters also including Bo
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: Jackson their running back. Is he Bo Jackson's son or something.
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: I don't even know, he might just be named after
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: Bo Jackson. I think because his father likes Bo or something.
• 22:48
  Speaker 2: I think maybe Bo Jackson's a multi sport athlete. I
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: don't know, but Ohio State's bringing back most of their offense,
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: although not much of their defense. But saying will be
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: entering his second season, I'm pretty sure. Yeah, that means
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: it's gonna be some decent continuity here. So Ohio State.
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: I would to righte off Ohio State like they they
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: might be the pick to actually win this conference at
• 23:08
  Speaker 2: plus one to eighty. Oregon at plus two forty is interesting.
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: Oregon went out and they got cause or no, their
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: quarterback actually decided to come back. I'm pretty sure Oregon
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: hold on. Yeah, they have fourteen returning starters, so almost
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: their whole defense is coming back. And Dante Moore, their quarterback,
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: I guess, made a surprising decision and decided to not
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: enter the NFL draft. He's coming back to Oregon. So
• 23:34
  Speaker 2: Oregon has a lot of returning starters here. I think
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: they're gonna be good. And last year they were more
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: of an offensive team than a defensive team. And there's
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: always the worry about the travel with one of these
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: Pacific teams. Like I said with the ACC, same thing
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: with the Big Ten. With Oregon, USC UCLA, they have
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: to do all this travel, so it's kind of annoying
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: for them. So I don't know if I'd really want
• 23:54
  Speaker 2: to do it. But Oregon they should be one of
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: the top teams though, you know, and maybe their defense
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: will improve a little bit. Indiana, I think they're gonna
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: take a step back. I mean, I know this is
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: all this hype, and Kurt Signetti has completely turned the
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: team around. They won the championship last year. But of
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: course Mendoza is now on the Raiders, so he's gone.
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: Indiana is replacing him with Josh Hoover, quarterback from I
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: believe TCU. So TCU, by the way, yeah, they lost Hoover,
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: so TCU might be taking a step back for that reason.
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: How good is Hoover? Though, I don't know, man, I
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: would be worried about that decision a little bit because
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: the Big Ten is a different animal than the Big Twelve. Right,
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: Like the Big Twelve, you can put up big offensive
• 24:34
  Speaker 2: numbers because a lot of the defenses in that conference suck.
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: In the Big Ten, that's not the case. The Big
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: Ten has a lot of really good defenses, so Hoover's
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: gonna have to step up his game, but he will
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: be the starter for Indiana this year. There and as
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: far as the Indiana's returning production hold on, I'm looking
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: at the wrong thing here. They're still bringing back twelve starters,
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: so basically mostly their defense is coming back. A lot
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: of their offensive players are gone, so Indiana might actually
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: struggle a bit offensively coming into this year, but their
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: defense remains intact. They're gonna be a contender for sure,
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: but I don't think there's gonna be value on them.
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: And it seems like you think you would think the
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: public probably would perceive value on them at plus two sixty,
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: I don't really see that being the case. USC is
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: at sixteen to one. Here, USC is bringing back the
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: most returning starters in all of college football. They're bringing
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: back fifteen starters, including Mayava, their quarterback or Mayava, who
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: I believe. I think he's been on multiple different teams.
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: I want to say he was the guy that left
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: UNLV right. If I'm not mistaken, I forget, but he's
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: coming back, A couple of running backs coming back. They're
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: basically their entire offensive line is coming back as well,
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: and a lot of their defense, so USC is gonna
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: have a lot of continuity. So that's at least pretty
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: good for USC there. I know I'm missing. I might
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: be missing like if coaches are changing or whatever. I
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: don't know. Uc LA is getting a new coach, it
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: looks like, but maybe I should just scroll through this
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: real quick, just to see if there's anything like I forgot.
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: You know, North Texas and South Florida getting new coaches
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: in the American Conference that I kind of just glossed over.
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: But Neil Brown assistant from Texas is going to North Texas.
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: Brian Hartline, OHC from Ohio State is going to South Florida.
• 26:25
  Speaker 2: So Ohio State is losing their offensive coordinator from last year.
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: And then let's see, and Oregon is losing their DC,
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: Tosh Lupoy is going to cal so Oregon is gonna
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: have a new DC. Memphis is getting Charlie Huff from
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: Southern miss so he's gonna be their coach there. I
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: don't know if that's that interesting or not. I think
• 26:51
  Speaker 2: I pretty much covered all the rest of these coaching changes,
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: though so far I haven't gotten to the rest of
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: the Big Ten yet, but I guess I'll mention those
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: once I get to them. And then, yes, Stanford has
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: a new coach. That's Tavita Pritchard is coming from the
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: Washington Redskins. He's their QB coach. He's stepping down and
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: going back into a college setting. But to get a
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: head coach job though, So that's I guess interesting ish.
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, And then I forgot James Franklin. We knew
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: that because he was hanging out of Virginia Tech. He
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: got fired by Penn State, so he's at Virginia Tech
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: this year. I forgot to mention that. I don't know, man,
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: I mean, I don't think I'm not a Franklin guy.
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: I mean, I don't see that being I mean, maybe
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: it will be an improvement from what Virginia Tech was doing,
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: but I don't know, man, I'm not sure that's gonna
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: work out that great, at least in the short term.
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: Probably not. And Oklahoma State, by the way, is getting
• 27:48
  Speaker 2: Eric Morris, who was the head coach at North Texas.
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: So North Texas also lost their head coach. Morris was
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: pretty good, so that's why mess to Maker went to
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: Oklahoma State as well. So Morris is going over there
• 27:58
  Speaker 2: with his quarterbacks. That's gonna be good for Oklahoma State
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: because their quarterback and probably some other guys coming over
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: to already know the coach's system, you know what I mean.
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: So there's some continuity there. So that's not so Oklahoma
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: State should be better than they have been recently, at
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: the very least. Anyway, let me say, who's in the
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: chat here, dirty sock? What's up? Yes, thanks for hanging
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: out jeweles again. Oh thank you. As far as the
• 28:25
  Speaker 2: rest of these teams here, Michigan at seventeen to one,
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: they got Kyle Whittingham, now, man, I mean he's a
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: legitimate coach, so and they have ten returning starters, including
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: the quarterback Underwood, most of their offenses coming back, including
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: most of their offensive line and some of their receiving corps. Defense,
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: though is basically having a big time turnover at Michigan.
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: I mean I would to write Michigan off though. I
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: mean I said that I thought Michigan might be somewhat
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: in contention last year there at seventeen to one. This year,
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: but they might start out, you know, it's gonna be
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: a little bit maybe slow in the in the beginning
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: to try to get going, Like, you know, the quarterback's
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: gonna have to learn the new system with winning him
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: there whatever, winning him will bring sort of this like
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: physical mindset to Michigan. They kind of already had that.
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: But you know then, of course, Penn State, as I
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: alluded to, they're at twenty two to one. They're probably undervalued, man,
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: based on how bad they were last year. But James
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: Franklin kind of just he kind of nuked the team, dude, Like,
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: I don't know what else to tell you. Dru Aller
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: is gone. Of course, he's on the Pittsburgh Steelers now.
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: They actually like him. He looked good in the first
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: preseason game, not so good the other day. I don't
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: think he was very good at Penn State though, But
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: it's Penn State is an interesting team because they're basically
• 29:42
  Speaker 2: gonna be Iowa State now because they got Matt Campbell
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: and he brought over a bunch of guys, including Beck
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: to the quarterback from Iowa State, and I believe some
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: of their wide receivers. So it's gonna look like, you know, well,
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: Penn State doesn't have much returning production here, and that's true.
• 29:59
  Speaker 2: Only four guys but they're just completely turning over the team.
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: But there is gonna be continuity there because Matt Campbell
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: is bringing over guys that already know his system. Yes,
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: they have to put the new system in place there.
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: I don't know about Penn State's defense, man, because Iowa
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: State was a Big twelve team, and I guess they
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: were known for being one of the better defenses in
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: the Big twelve. But the Big ten is a different thing, man,
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: So I don't know Campbell really having a step up
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: in class here to coach in the Big twelve. We'll see.
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: I mean, I don't hate Penn State. Maybe there is
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: some value there. On a long shot twenty two to one,
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: they might be kind of around it. By the way,
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: Penn State the one thing to like about Penn State,
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: besides that they do have some continuity because the coach
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: and the quarterback and know each other and whatever. Penn
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: State is a really easy schedule this year. That's one
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: other thing to look at if you look at their schedule.
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: Hang on, see if I can bring it up here,
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: like they have one of the easiest schedules in the
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: major conference. Let me see, it looks like ESPN might oh,
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: ESPN doesn't have their schedule yet. I guess. Yeah, I
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: don't know what's up with that, but I thought the
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: schedules are out already. I guess we don't know the
• 31:11
  Speaker 2: actual order of teams yet, but we know who the
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: teams are going to be playing, I guess. But yeah,
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: Penn State has a really easy schedule this year, and
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure they're avoiding like all the better teams.
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: I think they avoid all three of Ohio State, Oregon,
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: in Indiana. I think Penn State doesn't have to play
• 31:26
  Speaker 2: any of them this year, if I'm not mistaken. So
• 31:30
  Speaker 2: that's gonna be interesting. So they might be in the
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: mixes because they have such an easy schedule. Washington's at
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: twenty four to one. I don't know if Washington's really
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: that interesting or not. I think they do have some
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: decent returning production. Yeah, they have eleven returning starters, mostly
• 31:47
  Speaker 2: on the offense, including Demond Williams Junior, their quarterback. So
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: they have a decent amount of returning production there for Washington.
• 31:54
  Speaker 2: But there I forgot to mention them. There are another,
• 31:56
  Speaker 2: of course, Pacific Coast team that's having to travel a
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: lot here. Then I don't know we got Iowa forty
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: two to one. Iowa seems to always be good defensively,
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: but I think they lost like Gronowski, who is their quarterback.
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: With Iowa, they can kind of plug and play their
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: quarterback a little bit though, because a lot of times
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: they just focus more on the rushing attack and the deepfense.
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: But Gronowski was kind of a guy that would throw
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: the ball as well, So I don't know, they're gonna
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: need to kind of replace that in some way. And
• 32:22
  Speaker 2: then I don't know if we really love any of
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: the rest of these seems the Big Ten is very
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: top heavy, even though it's a good conference. It's like
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: a bunch of good teams at the top, and then
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: the rest of these teams kind of suck man like Wisconsin.
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: I mean, they have not been able to get back
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: to that level that they once were at at thirteen
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: and a half. What is that at one hundred and
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: thirty five to one, that is yeah, ridiculous, Nebraska one
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: hundred and fifty to one. So Nebraska, Ryola is gone
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: and he has gone to I forget where where do
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: Ryola go? Let me see, I know he went. I
• 32:59
  Speaker 2: know he was one of the big transfers. Let me see,
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: I gotta get to the right page here. I'm all
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: over the place he went to. Oh he went to Oregon?
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: Really all right? Well, so I guess Oregon has multiple
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: quarterbacks then, because Dante Moore is gonna be the start
• 33:15
  Speaker 2: of it. Ryola, I guess went to Oregon as well.
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: I don't know. It's kind of a weird decision. I suppose,
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: so I think he'll be the backup. But I guess
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: that means that Oregon has multiple decent quarterbacks, although I
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: think more is better than Ryola. And then Illinois, I mean,
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: they've looked better than they actually were the last couple
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: of years, and Altmeyer's gone now their quarterback he got drafted.
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: So I don't see Illinois making a ton of noise here.
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: U se La is at one hundred and seventy to one.
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: They got a new coach maybe to try to turn
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: things around there with Bob Chesney was coming from JMU,
• 33:50
  Speaker 2: so he did well with jam mue Ale, though JAMU
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: had kind of been built up by Kurt Signetti. So
• 33:55
  Speaker 2: I don't know. And then I don't know, man, I
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: don't know if there's anything else really interesting. Michigan State
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: has Pat Fitzgerald now who used to be the coach
• 34:02
  Speaker 2: at Northwestern. Both of them are at five hundred to
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: one here after Minnesota two hundred and one. Michigan State
• 34:09
  Speaker 2: you kind of think at some point they're gonna kind
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: of move back up a little bit here, and then
• 34:14
  Speaker 2: Rutgers of purdueer just both ass But yeah, Michigan State
• 34:18
  Speaker 2: maybe ifits I think he's a good coach. Man. I
• 34:20
  Speaker 2: think he got fired for some sort of impropriety or
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: something at Northwestern, but he might be able to do
• 34:26
  Speaker 2: something with this Michigan State team. So I don't know, man,
• 34:29
  Speaker 2: I guess we'll see. But that's what we got going
• 34:32
  Speaker 2: on in this conference. I forgot to mention FAU by
• 34:35
  Speaker 2: the way, as far as the American Conference, I apologize.
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: I think they're in that conference, right, I just skipped
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: over FAU. They're at sixteen to one there, but they
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: do have a lot of returning production. They have eleven
• 34:46
  Speaker 2: guys Aturning had like more than half their deepfense, and
• 34:49
  Speaker 2: then their quarterback Velt Camp along with a couple other guys.
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: So FAU thus have some returning production there as well.
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: All right, Oh and Big so Big. As far as
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: who I think has value. I like Ohio State, man,
• 35:06
  Speaker 2: you know, I mean at plus one eighty, I think
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: maybe there is actually a little bit of value there.
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: I mean the power ratings that a lot of the
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: Power Ratings guys have them as the number one team
• 35:15
  Speaker 2: in the country, although they have Oregon in Indiana not
• 35:18
  Speaker 2: that far behind them. But yeah, Oregon, I think there
• 35:21
  Speaker 2: might be some value. I just worry about the travel
• 35:23
  Speaker 2: a little bit there, but Oregon should be very good
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: and in contention as well. I would not play Indiana though,
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: after what they did last year. I see them taking
• 35:32
  Speaker 2: a little bit of a step back this year. And
• 35:35
  Speaker 2: then other than that, I mean, Penn State is kind
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: of interesting at twenty two to one, but we'll see
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: what Matt Campbell's system can look like in the Big Ten.
• 35:44
  Speaker 2: I don't exactly know what we're gonna see there, but
• 35:46
  Speaker 2: we'll say. In the Conference USA, I mean, this is
• 35:51
  Speaker 2: a garbage conference here, and I think some of the
• 35:53
  Speaker 2: teams left this conference as well. Liberty is at plus
• 35:56
  Speaker 2: two fifty. I mean, they were supposed to win the
• 35:59
  Speaker 2: conference last year, I think, and they had a bad
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: season and didn't win it. Are at plus two fifty here.
• 36:05
  Speaker 2: I don't know what their returning production looks like. They're
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: returning ten starters, including their quarterback, Vasco, and bunch of
• 36:11
  Speaker 2: their offensive line, so their offense should be decent and
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: ready to go again. Western Kentucky is at plus three seventy.
• 36:18
  Speaker 2: They're usually kind of in the mix in this conference
• 36:20
  Speaker 2: as well. They're only bringing back six returning starters, though
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: it does include their quarterback Tisdale Junior. I don't know.
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: And then let me see. Jacksonville stayed at plus five
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: point forty. They've kind of been one of the I
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: think they've won the conference last year. Right. They're bringing
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: back Kreole, their quarterback, and half of their deepfense, but
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: only eight returning starters there, so, I don't know if
• 36:43
  Speaker 2: that's really that great for continuity. Delaware is it? Plus
• 36:47
  Speaker 2: six hundred Delaware might be a little bit interesting. They're
• 36:50
  Speaker 2: bringing back a lot of starters, a lot of their offense. Minnicoucci,
• 36:54
  Speaker 2: their quarterback, Minnicucci, the Italian guy though that I call
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: them the type posts, that's what I call them. They're
• 37:03
  Speaker 2: bringing back a decent amount of their old line and
• 37:05
  Speaker 2: some of their other skilled players here. Yeah, I mean
• 37:09
  Speaker 2: Delaware is kind of interesting. I think they're new to
• 37:11
  Speaker 2: this conference last year, but now they have a year
• 37:15
  Speaker 2: under their belt, maybe we will see something from them.
• 37:18
  Speaker 2: Kennesaw is at plus seven to twenty. Kennisaw was kind
• 37:20
  Speaker 2: of in the mix to win this conference last year too,
• 37:23
  Speaker 2: only six returning starters there though, And they went from
• 37:26
  Speaker 2: being a team that was new to FBS and being like, literally,
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: I think the worst team in FBS a couple of
• 37:32
  Speaker 2: years ago to last year actually being in the running
• 37:34
  Speaker 2: to win this conference. So although I think I'm trying
• 37:37
  Speaker 2: to remember because some of these teams I think might
• 37:39
  Speaker 2: have been in the Sun Belt too, I don't remember though.
• 37:42
  Speaker 2: And then Florida International is at plus seven to eighty,
• 37:45
  Speaker 2: KENISAU is plus seven twenty FI usually bringing back five starters,
• 37:52
  Speaker 2: I don't know, but probably a lot of like transfers
• 37:55
  Speaker 2: going on and stuff. And then after that, I mean,
• 37:58
  Speaker 2: the rest of these teams, I don't know. New Mexico's
• 38:00
  Speaker 2: State nineteen to one, Missouri State twenty six to one,
• 38:03
  Speaker 2: Missouri State I believe lost their coach. Middle Tennessee at
• 38:07
  Speaker 2: fifty to one, and sometimes they're like a competitive team,
• 38:10
  Speaker 2: it looks like not really at this point. And Sam
• 38:13
  Speaker 2: Houston has fallen way down at eighty to one. Yeah,
• 38:17
  Speaker 2: I don't know if there's a whole lot else to
• 38:19
  Speaker 2: say about this. I kind of like Liberty though in
• 38:22
  Speaker 2: this conference. I've heard some professional guys not like Liberty,
• 38:25
  Speaker 2: but I think they had an unexpectedly bad season last
• 38:29
  Speaker 2: year and kind of underperformed, and they're bringing back a
• 38:31
  Speaker 2: lot of guys. So I don't know, man, That's the
• 38:34
  Speaker 2: way I kind of lean. And then I kind of
• 38:35
  Speaker 2: like Delaware at plus six hundred in that conference. Those
• 38:38
  Speaker 2: would be the two ways I would look there for
• 38:40
  Speaker 2: maybe some potential value. The MAC it says no Mass schools.
• 38:45
  Speaker 2: I thought U Mass left the MAC though, didn't they?
• 38:48
  Speaker 2: I don't know, man, the MAC. Of course, Sacramento State
• 38:52
  Speaker 2: is in the MAC now, which is completely ridiculous. Uh,
• 38:56
  Speaker 2: Sacramento State, Yeah, let's have a California team just play
• 38:59
  Speaker 2: in the fucking Yeah, totally makes sense. They're at thirty
• 39:02
  Speaker 2: to one. They're not gonna do any they meddle though.
• 39:05
  Speaker 2: Times are bad for Kent State and Ball State if
• 39:07
  Speaker 2: they have worse odds than Sacramento State to win this conference.
• 39:11
  Speaker 2: Sacramento State is moving up to FBS as well for
• 39:13
  Speaker 2: the first time, so there're gonna be some growing pains there.
• 39:18
  Speaker 2: As far as this conference, Miami Ohio has the best
• 39:20
  Speaker 2: odds to win it at plus three hundred. I don't
• 39:23
  Speaker 2: know how much value this is really gonna be there
• 39:25
  Speaker 2: with them, h me see it is Miami even a year.
• 39:28
  Speaker 2: Let me see. Yeah, Miami Ohio is bringing back nine
• 39:30
  Speaker 2: returning starters, not their quarterback, but like half of their
• 39:35
  Speaker 2: offense is coming back. Their offense has been good, but
• 39:38
  Speaker 2: I don't know. And then Western Michigan is at plus
• 39:40
  Speaker 2: four hundred. Western Michigan was interesting. I think I forget
• 39:43
  Speaker 2: which team won this conference last year, but Western Michigan
• 39:46
  Speaker 2: is returning eleven starters, including Brock Lowry their quarterback, a
• 39:50
  Speaker 2: lot of their offense, and pretty much their entire secondary.
• 39:54
  Speaker 2: But the rest of their defense has gone. And I
• 39:55
  Speaker 2: think they were one of the better defensive teams in
• 39:58
  Speaker 2: this conference last year, so having this turnover on deepfense
• 40:01
  Speaker 2: might not be great, but you gotta like the returning
• 40:04
  Speaker 2: production on offense. Though they're at four to one. Toledo
• 40:07
  Speaker 2: is at four and a half to one. Toledo's interesting,
• 40:11
  Speaker 2: although they're only returning one guy, so I don't know.
• 40:13
  Speaker 2: Toledo is bringing in a new coach, so he might
• 40:15
  Speaker 2: be bringing in some of their some of his guys,
• 40:17
  Speaker 2: Mike Jacobs coming up from Mercer, so I'm wondering if
• 40:22
  Speaker 2: he's bringing up some of his Mercer guys. But they're
• 40:24
  Speaker 2: gonna have some growing pains coming up from FCS. Toledo's
• 40:27
  Speaker 2: always kind of competitive in this conference though, and then
• 40:30
  Speaker 2: Ohio is at plus six fifth. The Ohio is usually
• 40:32
  Speaker 2: in the mix in this conference as well, only bringing
• 40:35
  Speaker 2: back six returning starters. Though for Ohio Central Michigan at
• 40:40
  Speaker 2: eight and a half to one, I mean, I'm not
• 40:42
  Speaker 2: really so sure what there is to love about them,
• 40:44
  Speaker 2: but they're bringing back eight starters they were I don't
• 40:47
  Speaker 2: think really that great. And then Eastern Michigan with our
• 40:49
  Speaker 2: guy Noah Caniga there at eleven to one, although actually
• 40:57
  Speaker 2: it looks like a Caniga looks like he's actually gone.
• 40:59
  Speaker 2: I don't know where is he? Man? Did he transfer?
• 41:01
  Speaker 2: I have no idea. My jersey is useless now. Eastern
• 41:06
  Speaker 2: Michigan is bringing back their quarterback cam so I don't know.
• 41:10
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna have to look and see where our guy
• 41:12
  Speaker 2: is now man. And then I don't know. Bowling Green
• 41:16
  Speaker 2: is usually seemingly decent in this conference. They're at seventeen
• 41:19
  Speaker 2: to one. I don't know. It's a terrible conference though.
• 41:23
  Speaker 2: They're only bringing back three starters, and then Buffalo after
• 41:28
  Speaker 2: the Buffalo and then Akron Buffalo twenty one plus twenty
• 41:32
  Speaker 2: one hundred, Akron plus twenty seven hundred. I don't know
• 41:35
  Speaker 2: what to think about either of those teams really, I mean,
• 41:38
  Speaker 2: just kind of whatever. I mean, the odds are what
• 41:39
  Speaker 2: they are for a reason. I don't know. Man, as
• 41:45
  Speaker 2: far as this conference goes, I still I kind of
• 41:49
  Speaker 2: like Western Michigan's returning production here to kind of get
• 41:53
  Speaker 2: them hitting the ground running, and they're losing a lot
• 41:57
  Speaker 2: of their defense. Though Toledo is interesting. We'll see what
• 42:01
  Speaker 2: they do under their new coach and then, uh yeah,
• 42:05
  Speaker 2: I think that's yeah. I mean maybe Western Michigan is
• 42:09
  Speaker 2: the team to look at it plus four hundred. But
• 42:11
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I don't like this conference at all.
• 42:15
  Speaker 2: Why you're rooting for Liberty, they have like a they
• 42:18
  Speaker 2: have a lot of weird shit going on. Man. They're
• 42:21
  Speaker 2: a they're Jerry Followell's school, so they're like they're a
• 42:25
  Speaker 2: massively Zionist school and they have some weird I don't know.
• 42:33
  Speaker 2: They have some weird program where they take pregnant young
• 42:37
  Speaker 2: women in and then like steal their babies away. Fuck Liberty.
• 42:43
  Speaker 2: One of my cousins went there, but still fuck Liberty.
• 42:47
  Speaker 2: Very very very sketchy school. Yes, ball Sack, I didn't
• 42:52
  Speaker 2: even think of that. Hopefully they play each other this
• 42:55
  Speaker 2: year out. I don't think every team plays every other
• 42:57
  Speaker 2: team in the conference, but because it's split up into
• 42:59
  Speaker 2: two visions to Big Conference, so I don't know if
• 43:02
  Speaker 2: they're playing each other or not. We'll see. I think
• 43:07
  Speaker 2: it's split up into East and West, so basically all
• 43:11
  Speaker 2: the Ohio schools are on one side. Ball State is
• 43:14
  Speaker 2: in Indiana. I honestly don't even know which half of
• 43:17
  Speaker 2: the conference ball State is even in, but Sacramento State
• 43:21
  Speaker 2: obviously being the west part of it, which is usually
• 43:25
  Speaker 2: it's like most of the Michigan schools pretty much. But then,
• 43:28
  Speaker 2: oh my god, the travel spots are going to be
• 43:31
  Speaker 2: so ridiculous. Mountain West, the newly formed Mountain West here,
• 43:36
  Speaker 2: very very weird conference this year in the Mountain West,
• 43:40
  Speaker 2: we got Boise State is gone and San Diego State
• 43:44
  Speaker 2: is gone, and those are two of the best teams
• 43:46
  Speaker 2: in the Conference. They're both in the Pac twelve now,
• 43:48
  Speaker 2: so with those two teams gone, UNLV has the best
• 43:51
  Speaker 2: odds to win this thing at plus two seventy. I
• 43:55
  Speaker 2: don't know. I think UNLV still has Dan Mullins there,
• 43:58
  Speaker 2: and you know me from last year, I'm not really
• 44:00
  Speaker 2: a huge fan of him. Although UNLV did fine last year,
• 44:03
  Speaker 2: but they only have seven returning starters. I don't know
• 44:07
  Speaker 2: exactly what their depth looks like this year. Let me
• 44:09
  Speaker 2: say it looks like their quarterback is Jackson Arnold. That's
• 44:17
  Speaker 2: kind of interesting. So they brought him in from Auburn
• 44:22
  Speaker 2: and he was on Oklahoma before. That's that is interesting.
• 44:24
  Speaker 2: Jackson Arnold will be the quarterback there. He's an experienced quarterback.
• 44:28
  Speaker 2: I mean, he's played in the SEC, so that's not bad.
• 44:31
  Speaker 2: That's part of the reason why UNLV has the odds
• 44:33
  Speaker 2: they do. And then North Dakota State the newcomers who
• 44:36
  Speaker 2: are coming up from FCS. They were basically a dominant
• 44:39
  Speaker 2: FCS team. They have the second best to Hodgs to
• 44:43
  Speaker 2: win the Mountain West at plus three hundred. I'm not
• 44:46
  Speaker 2: so sure. I think there are gonna be some growing
• 44:49
  Speaker 2: pains there. They might do all right, but and they've
• 44:51
  Speaker 2: been competitive. They got eight returning starters, they got a
• 44:54
  Speaker 2: decent amount of their deepfense returning. But I don't know, man,
• 44:57
  Speaker 2: I don't know what they're gonna look like this year.
• 44:59
  Speaker 2: I'm not sold on the I'm having odds like that
• 45:01
  Speaker 2: New Mexico at plus three ten is pretty interesting, though.
• 45:04
  Speaker 2: I believe New Mexico has a Bronco Mendon Hall still there.
• 45:08
  Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure as their quarterback and or their coach.
• 45:10
  Speaker 2: Excuse me, I always say quarterback coach. I believe New Mexico. Yeah,
• 45:17
  Speaker 2: like it's it'll be interesting to have him as as
• 45:19
  Speaker 2: the coach there. Oh and I've kind of glossed over
• 45:24
  Speaker 2: I guess like Missouri State. I think I've talked about
• 45:26
  Speaker 2: their commerce already. They have a new they have SMU's
• 45:29
  Speaker 2: offensive coordinator as their coach there, Casey Woods. I think
• 45:32
  Speaker 2: it's like whatever, who cares, let me see. And Toledo's
• 45:37
  Speaker 2: coach Jason Kandell went to Yukon, by the way, I
• 45:40
  Speaker 2: don't I don't even have I talked about you. What
• 45:42
  Speaker 2: conference is Yukon in? I don't even fucking know whatever.
• 45:47
  Speaker 2: So yeah, I think I yeah, I haven't really gotten
• 45:50
  Speaker 2: to these other conferences. Yet the SEC has a lot
• 45:53
  Speaker 2: of coaching changes, tons of coaching changes in the SEC
• 45:57
  Speaker 2: that I have to get to. As far as the
• 46:01
  Speaker 2: conference that I'm on right now, well, I guess we
• 46:02
  Speaker 2: can talk about Colorado State in a set because they're no.
• 46:05
  Speaker 2: They're in the PAC twelve now, right, don't. I don't
• 46:07
  Speaker 2: know where anybody is now, man, But I think what
• 46:10
  Speaker 2: I was gonna say is New Mexico. They have fourteen
• 46:14
  Speaker 2: returning starters man including Jack Lane, their quarterback, multiple wide receivers,
• 46:18
  Speaker 2: most of their offensive line, a decent amount of their deepense,
• 46:21
  Speaker 2: like more than half the deepfense. I kind of like
• 46:24
  Speaker 2: New Mexico in this conference at plus three ten. I
• 46:27
  Speaker 2: liked them in their Bowl last year. They have a
• 46:29
  Speaker 2: good coach. Next year might be the the year where
• 46:34
  Speaker 2: they do really well, because a lot of times the
• 46:36
  Speaker 2: third year for a coach is like the best. I
• 46:38
  Speaker 2: think New Mexico is an interesting look here, though air
• 46:42
  Speaker 2: force is plus five seventy. They of course run the
• 46:45
  Speaker 2: triple option. They're bringing back most of their defense air force.
• 46:49
  Speaker 2: They have eleven returning starters, not much of their offense though,
• 46:53
  Speaker 2: except their quarterback Zarka is coming back. Though air Force.
• 46:58
  Speaker 2: They run the triple options, always kind of annoying to
• 47:01
  Speaker 2: have to defend. Their offense might be interesting this year,
• 47:04
  Speaker 2: or their defense, I mean might might actually be better
• 47:08
  Speaker 2: this year because they're bringing back all those guys against
• 47:11
  Speaker 2: so they have another year under their belt. Boundery, their
• 47:13
  Speaker 2: offense is usually better than their defense. Though they're at
• 47:16
  Speaker 2: plus five seventy. I don't know what to think about
• 47:18
  Speaker 2: air Force. Really, Hawaii is plus six seventy. They're only
• 47:23
  Speaker 2: bringing back seven guys that they are bringing back. Alajado
• 47:26
  Speaker 2: who is their quarterback? Yeah, I don't know about them.
• 47:30
  Speaker 2: And then the rest of these teams, Wyoming, San Jose State, Nevada, Nevada,
• 47:35
  Speaker 2: Northern Illinois. I keep thinking of Northern Illinois as a
• 47:38
  Speaker 2: good team, but maybe not in Noryon. They're not in
• 47:41
  Speaker 2: the MAC anymore, by the way, So Northern Illinois, a
• 47:44
  Speaker 2: lot of these teams have to adjust to like a
• 47:46
  Speaker 2: new conference, you know what I mean. So Northern Illinois
• 47:48
  Speaker 2: has to adjust to being in the Mountain West. What
• 47:51
  Speaker 2: the fuck an Illinois team having to go play in
• 47:55
  Speaker 2: the Mountain States and on the Pacific Coast. Yeah great,
• 47:58
  Speaker 2: I don't think that's gonna go well for them. And
• 48:00
  Speaker 2: they're eighty to one, and you consider them, they were
• 48:03
  Speaker 2: like a decent team in the MAC, right, like they
• 48:06
  Speaker 2: usually played good deffense that could run the football. But
• 48:09
  Speaker 2: the MAC is a bad conference. The Mountain West is
• 48:12
  Speaker 2: gonna be a step up. It's gonna be bad times
• 48:15
  Speaker 2: for Northern Illinois probably. And then UTEP is also moving
• 48:18
  Speaker 2: into this conference from where were they Conference USA? Maybe
• 48:22
  Speaker 2: I forget where they were. They have the worst odds
• 48:25
  Speaker 2: to win this thing at one hundred and ten to one.
• 48:27
  Speaker 2: I don't think things are gonna go well those two teams.
• 48:30
  Speaker 2: It's gonna be difficult for them to move up into
• 48:31
  Speaker 2: this conference. At least UTEP is in Texas Western Texas
• 48:35
  Speaker 2: and I'll passo, so that's an easier move for them
• 48:38
  Speaker 2: to make into this conference. In Northern Illinois, it's like,
• 48:40
  Speaker 2: what the fuck is even going on here? I don't know.
• 48:44
  Speaker 2: Then we have the new PAC twelve which is reformed
• 48:46
  Speaker 2: and it consists of Boise State, San Diego State, both
• 48:51
  Speaker 2: coming from the Mountain West, Utah State, and Fresno State
• 48:55
  Speaker 2: and Colorado State all also coming from the Mountain West,
• 48:58
  Speaker 2: Texas State coming from the sun Belts, I want to say.
• 49:02
  Speaker 2: And then of course the two orphans from the old
• 49:05
  Speaker 2: Pack twelve that were not in a conference. They were
• 49:07
  Speaker 2: the pack to the last couple of years. Washington State
• 49:10
  Speaker 2: and Oregon State. They're in this conference, so they're back
• 49:13
  Speaker 2: in a conference again. They have parents again. Boise State
• 49:17
  Speaker 2: is the team with the best odds to win at
• 49:18
  Speaker 2: plus one sixty. They're a legit team. I mean, they've
• 49:22
  Speaker 2: made the playoffs at least one of the last two
• 49:24
  Speaker 2: years since they expanded playoffs. They were like constantly I
• 49:28
  Speaker 2: think did they make it both? I think they made
• 49:29
  Speaker 2: it both years. Actually they were like constantly winning the
• 49:32
  Speaker 2: Mountain West. They were the best team in the Mountain West.
• 49:35
  Speaker 2: They're competitive against power conference teams. You know, they have
• 49:38
  Speaker 2: a good program. So it makes sense why Boise State
• 49:41
  Speaker 2: has the best odds to win this conference. They have
• 49:43
  Speaker 2: a ton of returning starters to thirteen of them, including
• 49:47
  Speaker 2: Maddox Madsen, their quarterback who got hurt during the year
• 49:50
  Speaker 2: last year. And they're bringing back a running back, one
• 49:52
  Speaker 2: wide receiver, a tight end, a bunch of their offensive linemen,
• 49:56
  Speaker 2: a lot of guys on their defense coming back as well.
• 49:58
  Speaker 2: So Boise State looking decent here. San Diego State has
• 50:02
  Speaker 2: the next best odds at four to one. They're bringing
• 50:06
  Speaker 2: back ten guys, including Dnegal their quarterback, not Senegal, bunch
• 50:11
  Speaker 2: of wide receivers, not much of their defense though in
• 50:14
  Speaker 2: San Diego State is known for having a pretty good defense,
• 50:17
  Speaker 2: so I don't know what we're gonna see out of
• 50:18
  Speaker 2: San Diego State this year, but a lot of their
• 50:21
  Speaker 2: offense is coming back. Texas State at four plus four
• 50:24
  Speaker 2: to twenty five. They're kind of interesting, man. I don't
• 50:28
  Speaker 2: know what it's gonna look like with them going up
• 50:29
  Speaker 2: to the Mountain West and or Souse to the Pac
• 50:32
  Speaker 2: twelve A Texas team having to play all these Mountain
• 50:35
  Speaker 2: time in Pacific Coast time teams. I don't know. But
• 50:38
  Speaker 2: Texas State's returning eleven starters, including most of their offense,
• 50:42
  Speaker 2: quarterback Brad Jackson coming back. Their offense is going to
• 50:45
  Speaker 2: be botent like they were a really good offense. I
• 50:48
  Speaker 2: don't know about their defense really though, and they're having
• 50:50
  Speaker 2: to step up into a conference that's going to be
• 50:52
  Speaker 2: a little bit more difficult for them. But they do
• 50:55
  Speaker 2: have pretty good odds here, so they're considered to be
• 50:57
  Speaker 2: kind of a contender in this conference. We'll say Fresno
• 51:02
  Speaker 2: is plus six fifty. They're bringing back thirteen starters. Not
• 51:07
  Speaker 2: their quarterback though, but most of the rest of their
• 51:09
  Speaker 2: guys are all coming back. I don't know who their
• 51:11
  Speaker 2: quarterback is gonna be. Let me say, usually in a
• 51:14
  Speaker 2: case like that, you're seeing transfers. Their quarterback is Christian Martin.
• 51:20
  Speaker 2: It looks like he's a Red Shirt. He was on
• 51:22
  Speaker 2: Maryland apparently, I don't know. I don't know much about him.
• 51:26
  Speaker 2: We'll see, but Fresno does have a lot of returning production.
• 51:30
  Speaker 2: Washington State is plus nine point fifty. I don't know
• 51:33
  Speaker 2: what to think about them. I believe they got a
• 51:35
  Speaker 2: new coach. Yeah, Kirby Moore is their coach now, who
• 51:38
  Speaker 2: was at Missouri as the OC before. Somewhat interesting, I
• 51:43
  Speaker 2: believe more. I'm trying to remember, like, I don't know.
• 51:48
  Speaker 2: I associate his name was something Pacific Coast, but I'm
• 51:51
  Speaker 2: not sure why. I don't really remember. I don't know.
• 51:55
  Speaker 2: I don't remember why I was thinking that, but maybe
• 51:57
  Speaker 2: something I don't know. Washington's state, let's see, they're only
• 52:01
  Speaker 2: bringing back five returning starters though, nobody on defense. Yeah,
• 52:07
  Speaker 2: we'll see. We'll see what they can get out of
• 52:09
  Speaker 2: their defense. Man Utah State at sixteen to one. Utah
• 52:16
  Speaker 2: State bringing back nine retorney starters. I'm not their quarterback.
• 52:20
  Speaker 2: I don't know, man, I mean they're kind of an
• 52:23
  Speaker 2: interesting team. I think they're kind of in like a
• 52:24
  Speaker 2: rebuild mode. They did pretty well last year though. For actually,
• 52:29
  Speaker 2: are they the team that has Bronco men at all?
• 52:31
  Speaker 1: Now?
• 52:31
  Speaker 2: Maybe they're the ones that have men in home? I forget,
• 52:33
  Speaker 2: I forget where these coaches are now. Man. But yeah,
• 52:38
  Speaker 2: oh right, as far as I forgot to talk about
• 52:40
  Speaker 2: the Yeah, the Mountain West, I forgot to say what
• 52:42
  Speaker 2: I thought. Yeah, I think New Mexico is the way
• 52:45
  Speaker 2: to look in the Mountain West of plus three ten.
• 52:47
  Speaker 2: If I didn't make that clear, Yeah, I like New
• 52:48
  Speaker 2: Mexico in the Mountain West at those odds. Anyway, Yeah,
• 52:54
  Speaker 2: PAC twelve. Yeah, Utah State, I don't know if they
• 52:56
  Speaker 2: interested me that much. Oregon State is at nineteen to one.
• 53:02
  Speaker 2: They have bringing back ten starters, including Malik Murphy, their
• 53:05
  Speaker 2: quarterback who used to be on Duke I believe somewhat interesting.
• 53:09
  Speaker 2: A decent amount of returning production from Oregon State here,
• 53:13
  Speaker 2: and they have a new quarterback I always say quarterback,
• 53:15
  Speaker 2: A new coach JaMarcus Shepherd, who was one of the
• 53:18
  Speaker 2: offensive coordinators at Alabama, So he's gonna be there. Interesting,
• 53:24
  Speaker 2: I guess, but they're not considered to be really in
• 53:27
  Speaker 2: contention here in Colorado State at thirty three to one,
• 53:31
  Speaker 2: Colorado State only four returning starters. That's probably part of
• 53:34
  Speaker 2: the reason why they're gonna be in rebuild. Oh look
• 53:37
  Speaker 2: who they're bringing in. Jim Mora is going to be
• 53:40
  Speaker 2: the coach for Colorado State here.
• 53:42
  Speaker 1: Now, playoffs. Don't talk about playoffs, you kidding me?
• 53:49
  Speaker 2: Playoffs? I just hope we can win a game another game.
• 53:53
  Speaker 2: Not that Jim More. That's Jim Moore as senior. But
• 53:55
  Speaker 2: I believe this is Jim Mora junior. So that guy's son,
• 54:00
  Speaker 2: I believe is who this is. He was in. If
• 54:03
  Speaker 2: it's the same Jim Moore, I'm thinking of it. It's
• 54:05
  Speaker 2: got to be him, right, Jim, this is Jim Mora junior.
• 54:08
  Speaker 2: Somebody correct me if I'm wrong. But he was in
• 54:10
  Speaker 2: the NFL for a while. He's moving from Yukon to
• 54:13
  Speaker 2: Colorado State here. I guess we'll see what he can
• 54:17
  Speaker 2: do out there. As far as this conference is concerned.
• 54:21
  Speaker 2: I kind of like Boise at plus one sixty I mean,
• 54:25
  Speaker 2: they're probably gonna be the team that everybody's gonna pick
• 54:27
  Speaker 2: those So that worries me that maybe there's not that
• 54:29
  Speaker 2: much value there. But I think they're gonna be able
• 54:32
  Speaker 2: to win it. I mean a lot of returning production.
• 54:35
  Speaker 2: They're almost like sort of a power conference team. Given
• 54:38
  Speaker 2: the schedule that they usually face. Although they've the out
• 54:41
  Speaker 2: of conference schedule they usually test themselves, they face like
• 54:44
  Speaker 2: a really difficult out of conference schedule, their conference schedule
• 54:47
  Speaker 2: won't be particularly difficult. I don't know, so yeah, I
• 54:51
  Speaker 2: mean that's still the way that I'm kind of looking.
• 54:54
  Speaker 2: Texas State is definitely interesting, but I worry about their
• 54:56
  Speaker 2: step up into this conference. In their defense, the SEC
• 55:02
  Speaker 2: the conference that everybody wants to talk about. I got, well,
• 55:04
  Speaker 2: the Big Ten is the best conference now, but the SEC.
• 55:07
  Speaker 2: I think the SEC is the most balanced conference. Like
• 55:10
  Speaker 2: the Big Ten is really top heavy. The SEC has
• 55:13
  Speaker 2: a lot of teams that could win this thing. Georgia
• 55:16
  Speaker 2: is at plus two sixty and they're considered to be
• 55:19
  Speaker 2: the favorite to win this thing. They're considered to be
• 55:22
  Speaker 2: the best team in this conference. I'm not so sure
• 55:24
  Speaker 2: that that's true. They're bringing back fourteen returning starters though,
• 55:28
  Speaker 2: so that's second only to USC and tied with New
• 55:31
  Speaker 2: Mexico and Notre Dame. Actually, I should talk about Notre
• 55:34
  Speaker 2: Dame in a second because they're not even in a conference,
• 55:36
  Speaker 2: so I should talk about them in a second as well.
• 55:39
  Speaker 2: After the SEC maybe I will. Georgia does have Gunner
• 55:43
  Speaker 2: Stockton coming back their quarterback, they have most of their
• 55:46
  Speaker 2: offense coming back, and almost their whole defense is coming back.
• 55:49
  Speaker 2: And we know Georgia known for their deffense whatever. Don't
• 55:52
  Speaker 2: know if there's gonna be that much value there. Although
• 55:54
  Speaker 2: Stoked in with another year under his belt, they definitely
• 55:57
  Speaker 2: should be good. There's no doubt about that. Texas is
• 56:00
  Speaker 2: at plus three ten. The problem with Texas is they
• 56:03
  Speaker 2: have a really difficult schedule this year. Texas has one
• 56:07
  Speaker 2: of the most difficult schedules, and not just because they're
• 56:09
  Speaker 2: in the SEC, but just the specific teams they have
• 56:11
  Speaker 2: to face and they're out of conference schedule, we're all difficult.
• 56:15
  Speaker 2: So Texas they could definitely lose some games just because
• 56:19
  Speaker 2: of how difficult they're schedule is. They're bringing back thirteen starters,
• 56:22
  Speaker 2: so Texas is bringing back a lot of guys. Most
• 56:25
  Speaker 2: of their offense that does include arch Manning their quarterback.
• 56:29
  Speaker 2: How good is arch Manning is one of the questions
• 56:31
  Speaker 2: that we need to answer here. He gets shit on
• 56:34
  Speaker 2: a lot. Man Of course he is the he's the
• 56:37
  Speaker 2: son of which Manning? Is he the son of Cooper Manning?
• 56:41
  Speaker 2: Maybe I think that's right. So I think he's the
• 56:45
  Speaker 2: nephew of Peyton Manning and Eli Manning. I believe you
• 56:47
  Speaker 2: can correct me if I'm wrong about that. I think
• 56:50
  Speaker 2: he's better than sort of all the what's the word
• 56:55
  Speaker 2: I'm looking for, Like he gets a lot of hate.
• 56:57
  Speaker 2: I guess let's say I think he's better than that.
• 57:00
  Speaker 2: But he wasn't great last year, so I don't know.
• 57:02
  Speaker 2: But they're bringing back more than half of their deepfense
• 57:04
  Speaker 2: here too. Texas will be good again, but very difficult
• 57:09
  Speaker 2: schedule for them. Alabama is at plus eight to fifty
• 57:12
  Speaker 2: and I believe this is going to be Alabama's third
• 57:14
  Speaker 2: year under de boor if I'm not mistaken, is that right?
• 57:18
  Speaker 2: So usually a team steps up a little bit in
• 57:21
  Speaker 2: the third year with a coach like that. However, they
• 57:23
  Speaker 2: only have seven returning starters. They always reload though through
• 57:27
  Speaker 2: the transfer portal and whatever, so I don't know how
• 57:30
  Speaker 2: concerning that really is Alabama their quarterback is gonna be
• 57:37
  Speaker 2: Keelon Russell. It looks like he's listed as their starting
• 57:40
  Speaker 2: quarterback right now, if these depth charts are right. So
• 57:43
  Speaker 2: he's a guy that's a young guy in Alabama's system
• 57:47
  Speaker 2: already and he's coming up. I guess that's what it's
• 57:49
  Speaker 2: gonna be. I would take this with a grain of salt, though,
• 57:52
  Speaker 2: because there are a lot of guys. This is just
• 57:54
  Speaker 2: their depth chart right now, but there are a lot
• 57:57
  Speaker 2: of guys in some of these quarterback depth charts right now,
• 57:59
  Speaker 2: so we don't know if for sure, necessarily the season
• 58:01
  Speaker 2: is about to start, so this is probably pretty close
• 58:04
  Speaker 2: to accurate. We'll see. I mean, Alabama, I think they've
• 58:08
  Speaker 2: actually been underrated the last couple of years, but I
• 58:11
  Speaker 2: don't know. With the lack of returning production, I'm not sure.
• 58:13
  Speaker 2: I really love that LSU at nine to one, but
• 58:18
  Speaker 2: I think Alabama will be in the mix here. LSU
• 58:20
  Speaker 2: is bringing back eight starters, and of course Lane Kiffin
• 58:23
  Speaker 2: is now coming over to LSU so that he can
• 58:26
  Speaker 2: I don't know, well, actually I was gonna say, well,
• 58:29
  Speaker 2: wit weeks, Yeah, it's him, right the weeks brothers. I
• 58:31
  Speaker 2: think they used to have three Weeks brothers on the deepfense.
• 58:35
  Speaker 2: Wit Weeks I think is the one that's dating Lane
• 58:39
  Speaker 2: Kiffin's daughter. But maybe I'm wrong, Maybe I have the
• 58:41
  Speaker 2: wrong Week's brother. But I was gonna say he's going
• 58:43
  Speaker 2: over to LSU just to like keep his daughter's boyfriend
• 58:47
  Speaker 2: in line or something, you know. I don't know, but
• 58:49
  Speaker 2: it'll be interesting with Lane Kiffin going to LSU. LSU
• 58:53
  Speaker 2: is definitely disappointed the last few years. But their quarterback,
• 58:56
  Speaker 2: of course, nuss Meyer, is not gonna be there anymore
• 58:58
  Speaker 2: because he got drafted. I forget where he is now
• 59:02
  Speaker 2: though in the NFL. We just saw him play, and
• 59:05
  Speaker 2: I already forget what team he's on. LSU is gonna have.
• 59:09
  Speaker 2: Like I said, Levitt is gonna be their quarterback they're
• 59:12
  Speaker 2: bringing in from Arizona State. He's good, but the question
• 59:16
  Speaker 2: is can he handle SEC defenses? You know? So I
• 59:19
  Speaker 2: don't know how much I love that, because the Big
• 59:20
  Speaker 2: twelve has bad defenses. He's gonna have to come up
• 59:23
  Speaker 2: and handle these SEC defenses, you know. And then Oklahoma
• 59:28
  Speaker 2: is interesting at plus nine point fifty because they're bringing
• 59:30
  Speaker 2: back a lot of starters, including their quarterback. What's his name,
• 59:36
  Speaker 2: John Mattier. They're bringing back fourteen starters, including Matier their quarterback,
• 59:40
  Speaker 2: most of their offense and more than half their defense
• 59:43
  Speaker 2: all coming back. And this is an Oklahoma team that
• 59:45
  Speaker 2: was a playoff team last year, playoffs. I think they're
• 59:49
  Speaker 2: gonna be good man, and I guess the word out
• 59:50
  Speaker 2: of their camps and whatever is that Matier like got
• 59:55
  Speaker 2: jacked over the offseason. I don't know if that's good
• 59:58
  Speaker 2: for a quarterback or not, but I yes, he's extremely
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 2: muscular at this point, so I have no idea that
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 2: that's probably better if you're I don't know, like a
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 2: lineman or linebacker or something like that, or maybe a
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 2: running back. I don't know. We'll say I kind of
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 2: like Oklahoma, though, giving the amount of returning production whatever.
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 2: Ole Miss is interesting as well. At plus eleven fifty
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 2: eleven and a half to one for ol Miss. Man,
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 2: I just skipped over All Miss. Where are they at?
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 2: They're bringing back ten starters, including Trinidad Shambliss, So I
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 2: think I had to petition the NCAA to play another year,
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 2: and he's back. He's doing that. He was their quarterback
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 2: in the playoffs last year. He looks good there. So
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 2: they're bringing back a little bit less than half of
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 2: their starters, which is pretty good in this day and
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 2: age ole Miss is definitely interesting. But they're losing Lane
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 2: Kiffin of course, and they're bringing in who's their coach now?
• 1:00:55
  Speaker 2: Pete Golding is going to be their coach now, who
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 2: is moving up. He was their defensive coordinator, he's moving on.
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 2: I think he might have coached them because remember Lane
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 2: kiffn left before the playoffs last year. I think Golding
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 2: was their coach during the playoffs. So that's not too bad.
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 2: Like that means there is continuity there because he's already
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 2: a coach in the system, so the system will kind
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 2: of remain the same. So that's not too bad. As
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 2: far as the other teams in this conference, Kentucky has
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 2: Will Stein, Oregon's OC is coming in as their coach now.
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 2: A lot of coaching changes here. John Sumral from Tulane
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 2: so he left Tulane. He's going to Florida now, and
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 2: Florida lost I already forget who the hell their coach
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 2: was last year. Auburn has a new coach coming up
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 2: from South Florida, Alex Golesh Memphiss coach is now going
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 2: to Arkansas Ryan Silverfield. So a lot of these lower
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 2: conference coaches are moving up into the SEC this year.
• 1:01:53
  Speaker 2: Interesting and I think that's about it. I forgot to
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 2: mention Kent State as a new coach this year, Mark Carney,
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 2: who was elevated from their offensive coordinator position over in
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 2: the MAC. Who cares Kent State has been awful, So
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 2: I don't I think they're still in the MAC, right
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 2: or do they move out of the MAC? I don't
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 2: fucking know what do I can't keep track of all
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 2: these conferences anyway. As far as the rest of these teams,
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 2: Texas A and M is twelve to one. They're kind
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 2: of interesting too. They're quarterbacks coming back, Marcel Reid. They're
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 2: bringing back nine returning starters here, and I believe they're
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 2: still rolling with already. Forget the coach's name, they've had
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 2: him for this might be his third year there now
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 2: I wish I could. I think it starts with Mike Elko.
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 2: Is that his name? Yeah? I think he's still there,
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 2: So we'll see what happens with A and M. I
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 2: think A and M will be an interesting team. I
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 2: think they'll be in the mix. Tennessee at seventeen to
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 2: one is usually interesting. They're bringing back a lot of starters,
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 2: thirteen starters. They lost their quarterback, but they're bringing back
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 2: a lot of other guys on the offense and almost
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 2: tap the defense. As far as Tennessee, I don't know
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 2: who they're bringing in his quarterback. Now they're bringing in,
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 2: it's gonna be Brandon Fazon. It looks like who. I
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 2: just saw some news on him. I forget. I think
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 2: he was. It's announced that he is going to be
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 2: their starter. I guess, which is why he's there in
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 2: the depth chart. He's a true freshman, it looks like,
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 2: so we have no idea what we're gonna get out
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 2: of this guy. He must be a highly recruited guy,
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 2: so we'll see what happens with him. Man, there's gonna
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 2: be some growing pains there with Tennessee, probably with but
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 2: they have a lot of returning starters with We'll see
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 2: what their quarterback can do. But they're at seventeen to one.
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 2: Their defense wasn't great last year though. Florida's at twenty
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 2: six to one. Nine returning starters from them, no returning
• 1:03:48
  Speaker 2: quarterback from them. New coach I don't know about Florida. Man,
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 2: they've been kind of disappointing in recent years, and I
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 2: don't know. I don't think it's gonna be a quick
• 1:03:56
  Speaker 2: turn around there. Missouri lost their coach. They are at
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 2: thirty three to one. I don't know what to think
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 2: about them. Either Auburn is at plus four forty or
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 2: they're at plus forty three hundred. Auburn is losing their
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 2: best wide receiver to the transfer portal Cam Coleman. He
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 2: transferred to Texas, by the way, so that will improve
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 2: Texas offense. Coleman is like, he's a beast dude, He's
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 2: considered to be the best wide receiver in college football
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 2: and he's transferring within the SEC from Auburn over to Texas.
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 2: Auburn Auburn like to me, they just considered like they
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 2: seem to consistently be undervalued. But at forty three to one,
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 2: ousmakers aren't liking their chances. South Carolina with I think
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 2: Beamer Ball is still there, right, Beamer's son, I think
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 2: is still there. Fifty two to one. Not a whole
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 2: lot to like there. Kentucky with a new coach, has
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 2: bad odds. Plus they're one hundred and fifty to one.
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 2: Vandy is ninety four to one. Even though Lee is
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 2: at his name, Lee their coach. He turned that program around. Man,
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 2: but Diego Pop gone and he was in the Ravens camp,
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 2: and the Ravens said, nope, we're done with your Shenanagan.
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 2: So I don't know what's gonna happen to Pavia, but
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 2: Vandy without him, they're gonna take a step back. I
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 2: don't know how severe it's gonna be. And then Mississippi
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 2: State and Arkansas or the bottom dwellers here. Mississippi State's
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 2: you think they should be kind of on an improvement
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 2: trajectory at this point, I don't know. They made a
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 2: Bowl last year. I'm pretty sure. I don't know. And
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 2: then Arkansas lost their quarterback Taylor Green, so we'll see
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 2: and they yeah, we'll see what happens there. And they
• 1:05:33
  Speaker 2: have a new coach there, of course, as I mentioned,
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 2: So I don't know, Man, As far as the value
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 2: going on in this conference, Georgia at plus two sixty,
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 2: even though they're I don't know, they seem to be overhyped.
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 2: But you know, Texas has a lot of returning production,
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 2: but their schedules really difficult. Georgia. I think there might
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 2: be some value there maybe, but I like Oklahoma to
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 2: it nine fifty. I think Oklahoma with all the returning starters,
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 2: they're pretty dangerous team there, man, And now that the
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 2: program is pretty used to playing in the SEC, you know.
• 1:06:10
  Speaker 2: And I don't know. I mean A and M is
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 2: interesting at twelve to one down there too, So I
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 2: don't know, but yeah, I would say Georgia or Oklahoma.
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 2: Maybe Oklahoma as more of a little bit of a
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 2: longer shot, just because Georgia. Everybody thinks George is gonna
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 2: win the conference. So that's the thing. Like, I don't
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 2: love it when a team is the sort of the
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 2: public team. And then we have the Sun Belt left.
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 2: JMU is still considered to be the top team in
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 2: the Sun Belt at plus two seventy. They won it
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 2: last year, of course, but they only have three returning
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 2: starters and they lost their coach now, so I don't
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 2: think there's that much value in looking at JMU. Here.
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 2: Old Dominion is second in the conference at plus four
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 2: to twenty. They only have five returning starters there though,
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 2: so I don't know, man, I mean, you might have
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 2: to look and see what the transfers look like there,
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 2: because there's obviously a reason why these teams are while
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 2: they have the odds that they do. Quinn Hennekle is
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 2: going to be the starter for Odu here. I think
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 2: he's been there backup the last couple of years, so
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 2: I guess they're elevating him within the same within the
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 2: same system. So I mean sometimes that's good because he
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 2: knows the system already. There's some continuity there. But we
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 2: will say, and as far as uh was the team? Oh,
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 2: James Madison, Yeah, what the hell did they do? They're
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 2: bringing Camden? Were bringing in Camden Coleman is their starting
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 2: quarterback here. He is a red shirt junior and it
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 2: looks like he just hasn't played before. I don't know, man,
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 2: We'll see. I think probably some growing paints here with
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 2: JMU this year. And then Louisiana, which is Louisiana laet
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 2: formerly known as plus seven point fifty. Let me see Louisiana.
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 2: Where are they at? There they go? They have nine
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 2: returning starters, including their quarterback, lunch win Field. A lot
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 2: of their offenses returning at the very least, maybe they're
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 2: gonna eat their lunch. I don't know or eat the
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 2: other team's lunches. Troy has been interesting in this conference
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 2: for a while. The plus eight hundred Troy has seven
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 2: returning starters, including Goose crowd Or, their quarterback, and their
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 2: other quarterback, Tucker Kilcrease. They both were starters last year
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 2: at various points, which is why it's listed that way,
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 2: but an entire turnover on their defense, though, we'll see
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 2: what they can do. Marshall is at plus eight hundred here.
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 2: They're bringing back nine starters, including their quarterback, Carlos del
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 2: Rio Wilson. Interesting, like the majority of their offense is
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 2: at least coming back, so Marshall is somewhat interesting where
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 2: I think Marshall they if I remember correctly, they were like,
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 2: weren't they Southern Miss or No, Marshall was the team
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 2: where everybody got cleared out and went to Southern Miss.
• 1:09:05
  Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure is what it was. So Marshall was
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 2: like totally rebuilding and they actually were kind of surprising.
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 2: They did all right last year. And then Arkansas State
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 2: is at eleven to one. I think they were an
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 2: ri team last year. They're bringing back ten starters. Arkansas
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 2: State is, but not their quarterback let's see and then
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 2: I don't know about the rest of these teams. You know,
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 2: I know Southern miss has a new coach. They're not
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 2: considered to be very good. I think Louisiana Monroe might
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 2: have a new coach as well. Actually maybe I'm right,
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 2: No Coastal Carolina does, but they're not considered to have
• 1:09:36
  Speaker 2: good odds here. I don't know. I don't know a
• 1:09:38
  Speaker 2: whole lot about the Sun Belt, but I don't know.
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 2: I think Louisiana or Marshall maybe, like those teams were
• 1:09:47
  Speaker 2: turning a decent amount of starters. I think one of
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 2: those teams, or maybe Arkansas State, they were returning a
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 2: lot of starters to one of those teams. There might
• 1:09:53
  Speaker 2: be some value there. But I don't know much about
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 2: the Sun Belt. So that's all the conferences, and then
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 2: we got let's look at the championship future odds here. Oh,
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 2: I forgot to talk about Notre Dame. Stupid, you know,
• 1:10:11
  Speaker 2: Notre Dame being a power team, but not in a conference.
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 2: Notre Dame's returning a lot of starters, fourteen starters, including
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 2: car their quarterback, almost their entire deepfense, and their defense
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 2: has been good. They're Basically their whole offensive line is
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 2: coming back to you. But they have a new running
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 2: back again. Because the running backs keep getting drafted, They're
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 2: gonna be good again. There's no doubt about that. Notre
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 2: Dame has a ridiculously easy schedule. Like I had mentioned
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 2: that you might want to take a shot, I'm playing
• 1:10:39
  Speaker 2: Notre Dame to go undefeated in the regular season. Their
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 2: schedule is ridiculously easy. Like if you look at their schedule,
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 2: it's insane. Like their most difficult opponent is probably gonna
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 2: be Miami, and that's of course the rival or the
• 1:10:52
  Speaker 2: Catholics versus Convicts. Man, I'm watching that documentary right now. Actually,
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 2: Notre Dame gets to play Miami at home this year, though.
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 2: That's a huge advantage to Notre Dame getting to play
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 2: probably their most difficult opponent at home. So that's what
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 2: they're doing there. Notre Dame does have to play Navy again,
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 2: but they've handled Navy every year. They're playing like Wisconsin,
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 2: I think early in the season. Who cares. I think
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 2: the game where Notre Dame is most likely to get
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 2: tripped up is they have a road game at BYU
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 2: this year. If you look at their schedules, so that
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 2: might be the most difficult game for them is having
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 2: to go into the mountain time zone, up in elevation
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 2: and play a pretty good physical BYU team on the road.
• 1:11:31
  Speaker 2: If Notre Dame's gonna lose any game, I think it's
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 2: gonna be that one at BYU. That would be what
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 2: I would think. But I mentioned that there might be
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 2: some value playing Notre Dame to go undefeated during the
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 2: regular season, and I think if they're a one lost
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 2: team at the end of the season, and I still
• 1:11:45
  Speaker 2: think they probably make the playoffs, even though they're not
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 2: in a great position not being in a conference, but
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 2: I think it might happen. I mean, well, I mean
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 2: they have the second best lots to win the championships,
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 2: so they're probably making the playoffs. Their odds to make
• 1:12:00
  Speaker 2: the playoffs, they have the best odds to make the
• 1:12:02
  Speaker 2: playoffs that minus eight hundreds. So yeah, I would imagine
• 1:12:04
  Speaker 2: a one loss Notre Dame team is still getting in whoops.
• 1:12:09
  Speaker 2: But yeah, as far as the national championship, Ohio State
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 2: and Notre Dame are both six to one. Texas is
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 2: six and a half to one. But I mention how
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 2: difficult Texas's schedule is, so I'm not sure I necessarily
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 2: love Texas. Oregon's plus seven to fifty, They're interesting. I
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 2: don't like Notre Dame as far as winning the championship, Like,
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 2: I think Notre Dame is gonna run through their easy schedule.
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 2: But the problem with that is you're not battle tested enough,
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 2: you know what I mean. Once you get to the playoffs,
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 2: you start having to play really legit teams, and Notre
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 2: Dame won't have played any during the regular season. So
• 1:12:42
  Speaker 2: I don't really think Notre Dame is gonna win the championship.
• 1:12:46
  Speaker 2: Texas is gonna they have a difficult schedule. Man, it's
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 2: gonna be difficult for them. Oregon plus seven to fifty,
• 1:12:51
  Speaker 2: Georgia plus eight to fifty. Indiana's only plus nine hundreds,
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 2: so I think a lot of people are probably gonna
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 2: be taking Indiana again, but I don't think that's gonna
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 2: happen again. I don't know about Josh Hoover, man, if
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 2: you can really get the job done there to that extent,
• 1:13:07
  Speaker 2: Miami's at ten to one without Carson Beck there, we'll
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 2: see what Mensa can do. I don't know. I don't
• 1:13:12
  Speaker 2: know if I love that either. LSU is seventeen to one.
• 1:13:16
  Speaker 2: Probably gonna be some growing pains there. Texas Tech twenty
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 2: two to one. A lot of returning starters from Texas Tech,
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 2: for sure, But I don't know if I love them
• 1:13:26
  Speaker 2: in a playoff setting, like I didn't love them last
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 2: year because they just might not be battle tested enough.
• 1:13:31
  Speaker 2: A and M at twenty five to one, Alabama twenty
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 2: five to one, Ole Miss at thirty to one, in
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 2: Oklahoma at thirty to one. Those are all more interesting
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 2: teams because those are all in good conferences. You know,
• 1:13:42
  Speaker 2: all of them in the SEC in fact, if you
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 2: want like a real, real long shot to win the championship.
• 1:13:48
  Speaker 2: I mean, I don't know about Old Miss because they're
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 2: losing their coach. I mean A and M. I don't
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 2: really hate any of these teams though, really A and M, Alabama, Oklahoma,
• 1:14:00
  Speaker 2: like they all have a lot of or especially Alabama.
• 1:14:02
  Speaker 2: Well Oklahoma I think especially has a lot of returney starters.
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 2: Oklahoma at thirty to one might be worth a shot
• 1:14:08
  Speaker 2: and then you can hedge it later. USC is thirty
• 1:14:12
  Speaker 2: five to one. I don't know if I love that.
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 2: Michigan at forty to one, maybe too much of a
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 2: long shot there. Penn State at sixty five to one.
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 2: I know there are a lot of professionals that like that,
• 1:14:23
  Speaker 2: but I don't know, man. I mean, they should improve
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 2: with Matt Campbell there, and Penn State is a really
• 1:14:28
  Speaker 2: really easy schedule. So Penn State is I think they're
• 1:14:32
  Speaker 2: a decent chance to at least make the playoffs. What
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 2: are their odds to make the playoffs? Let me say
• 1:14:37
  Speaker 2: plus three twenty. I think if you want to do
• 1:14:39
  Speaker 2: something with Penn State, maybe that's what you want to do.
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 2: Take Penn State to win to make the playoffs at
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 2: plus three twenty because they have such an easy schedule. Dude,
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 2: they avoid all the better teams in the Big Ten,
• 1:14:50
  Speaker 2: like Penn State should be like I would guess maybe
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 2: like a two loss team at the end of this thing,
• 1:14:57
  Speaker 2: they might get in to the playoffs. So that's something
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 2: you could do and then you could hedge also potentially later.
• 1:15:04
  Speaker 2: So something like that makes some sense here as well
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 2: as far as the team to actually win the championship.
• 1:15:10
  Speaker 2: I kind of like Ohio State, like a lot of
• 1:15:13
  Speaker 2: returning starters, people probably will avoid them. At six to one,
• 1:15:18
  Speaker 2: I think people are gonna be more inclined to want
• 1:15:19
  Speaker 2: to take like Indiana again, I think in Georgia and
• 1:15:22
  Speaker 2: stuffing like that, I think Ohio State might get overlooked
• 1:15:25
  Speaker 2: a little bit, even though they have the best odds
• 1:15:27
  Speaker 2: to win and they won the championship two years ago.
• 1:15:31
  Speaker 2: If I'm not mistaken. Oregon is interesting as well. At
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 2: plus seven to fifty, I don't know if they could
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 2: really do it, but I think they're gonna be a
• 1:15:39
  Speaker 2: really really strong team as well. Yeah, I don't know,
• 1:15:43
  Speaker 2: but you can tell you get what you get which
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 2: teams I'm high on, you know, I'm definitely high in Oklahoma.
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 2: I mean, I could see Alabama maybe being in the mix,
• 1:15:51
  Speaker 2: but I don't know what the amount of turnover they
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 2: have there. Georgia will definitely be a strong team. It
• 1:15:56
  Speaker 2: just seems like they always just kind of fade out
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 2: once they get into the these games that really become meaningful.
• 1:16:02
  Speaker 2: And Texas, you know, I mean, if they make the playoffs,
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 2: all bets are kind of off. You know. If Texas
• 1:16:08
  Speaker 2: makes the playoffs, they're gonna be an extremely battle tested
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 2: team and they're gonna be a difficult out for sure.
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 2: And their minus two hundred to make the playoffs, so
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 2: I know there are some professionals that are betting their
• 1:16:20
  Speaker 2: underseason win totals and stuff like that, and you know,
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 2: Texas they're gonna be in the SEC. But I think Texas,
• 1:16:29
  Speaker 2: if they lose three games, which is very very they
• 1:16:33
  Speaker 2: might lose four games, given out difficult their schedule is.
• 1:16:37
  Speaker 2: If they lose four games, they're definitely not making the playoffs.
• 1:16:40
  Speaker 2: If they lose three, Texas might be one of those
• 1:16:43
  Speaker 2: teams that gets in and then everybody freaks out about it,
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 2: you know what I mean. So that's the worry, like
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 2: Texas to win the championship right now. I don't love
• 1:16:52
  Speaker 2: those odds, you know what I mean, just because they're
• 1:16:53
  Speaker 2: schedules so difficult that you don't know if they're necessarily
• 1:16:56
  Speaker 2: gonna even get in. If they do, though, they definitely
• 1:17:00
  Speaker 2: have a chance to make a run of the playoffs,
• 1:17:02
  Speaker 2: even though it seems like they lose every year in
• 1:17:04
  Speaker 2: the playoffs. But they might be strong enough. We'll see.
• 1:17:08
  Speaker 2: But yeah, I think I prefer Ohio State, and maybe
• 1:17:10
  Speaker 2: as a real real long shot, I kind of like Oklahoma,
• 1:17:15
  Speaker 2: which sounds crazy. And I don't really hate Oregon either here,
• 1:17:21
  Speaker 2: you know, and I know in the SEC, I said,
• 1:17:23
  Speaker 2: I thought Georgia. I might win the conference. I don't
• 1:17:25
  Speaker 2: know about winning the whole thing though. All Right, and
• 1:17:28
  Speaker 2: that's it, I think. Man, that's the college football breakdown.
• 1:17:32
