  Amazing

  these

  two
• 3:39
  two

  Saturday

  they

• 6:06
  They
• 6:06
  did
• 6:06
  not
• 6:06
  play
• 6:06
  this
• 6:07
  weekend,
• 6:08
  which.
• 6:08
  Is
• 6:08
  kind
• 6:08
  of
• 6:09
  an
• 6:09
  odd
• 6:09
  situation
• 6:10
  which.
• 6:10
  We'Ll
• 6:10
  get
• 6:10
  into
• 6:10
  a
• 6:11
  second.
• 6:11
  But
• 6:11
  2001
• 6:12
  was
• 6:12
  their
• 6:12
  last
• 6:12
  national
• 6:13
  championship.
• 6:13
  They
• 6:14
  have
• 6:14
  five
• 6:14
  under
• 6:14
  their
• 6:15
  belt
• 6:15
  and.
• 6:16
  Then
• 6:16
  you
• 6:16
  have
• 6:16
  a
• 6:17
  couple
• 6:17
  teams
• 6:17
  that.
• 6:18
  Won
• 6:18
  conference
• 6:19
  championships
• 6:20
  because
• 6:20
  they
• 6:21
  had
• 6:21
  five.
• 6:22
  The
• 6:23
  committee
• 6:23
  had
• 6:23
  to
• 6:23
  choose
• 6:23
  five
• 6:24
  conference
• 6:25
  champions.
• 6:26
  The
• 6:26
  best
• 6:27
  five
• 6:27
  conference
• 6:27
  champions.
• 6:28
  Of
• 6:28
  course.
• 6:28
  Indiana
• 6:29
  won
• 6:29
  their
• 6:29
  championship,
• 6:30
  Georgia
• 6:30
  won
• 6:30
  their
• 6:31
  championship.
• 6:31
  Texas
• 6:31
  Tech.
• 6:32
  So
• 6:33
  they
• 6:33
  needed
• 6:33
  two
• 6:33
  more
• 6:33
  because
• 6:34
  everybody
• 6:34
  else
• 6:34
  that
• 6:34
  we
• 6:34
  mentioned
• 6:35
  so
• 6:35
  far
• 6:35
  is
• 6:35
  at
• 6:36
  large.
• 6:37
  They
• 6:37
  brought
• 6:37
  in
• 6:37
  Tulane
• 6:38
  who
• 6:39
  won
• 6:39
  their.
• 6:39
  Championship
• 6:40
  at
• 6:40
  conference
• 6:41
  and
• 6:41
  James
• 6:42
  Madison.
• 6:43
  So
• 6:43
  that
• 6:43
  leaves
• 6:44
  out
• 6:44
  the
• 6:45
  ACC's
• 6:46
  champion,
• 6:47
  Duke,
• 6:47
  who
• 6:48
  with
• 6:48
  an
• 6:48
  85
• 6:49
  record
• 6:49
  defeated
• 6:50
  Virginia
• 6:51
  in
• 6:51
  the
• 6:52
  ACC
• 6:52
  championship.
• 6:53
  But
• 6:54
  the
• 6:54
  only
• 6:54
  team
• 6:54
  that
• 6:54
  gets
• 6:55
  in
• 6:55
  from
• 6:55
  the
• 6:55
  ACC
• 6:56
  did
• 6:56
  not
• 6:57
  play
• 6:57
  in
• 6:57
  the
• 6:57
  ACC
• 6:58
  championship
• 6:58
  and
• 6:58
  that's
• 6:59
  Miami.
• 7:00
  So
• 7:01
  the
• 7:01
  real
• 7:01
  problem
• 7:02
  here
• 7:03
  is
• 7:03
  maybe
• 7:04
  not
• 7:04
  with
• 7:04
  the
• 7:04
  college
• 7:05
  football
• 7:05
  playoff
• 7:06
  system,
• 7:08
  maybe
• 7:08
  it's
• 7:08
  with
• 7:09
  the
• 7:09
  conference
• 7:09
  championships
• 7:10
  and
• 7:10
  how
• 7:11
  inconsistent
• 7:12
  they
• 7:12
  are
• 7:12
  of
• 7:13
  who
• 7:13
  gets
• 7:13
  to
• 7:13
  play
• 7:13
  in
• 7:14
  a
• 7:14
  conference
• 7:14
  championships.
• 7:15
  They
• 7:15
  all
• 7:15
  have
• 7:15
  their
• 7:16
  own
• 7:16
  rules,
• 7:17
  their
• 7:17
  own
• 7:17
  bylaws.
• 7:18
  Who
• 7:18
  can
• 7:18
  put
• 7:18
  in
• 7:19
  a
• 7:19
  championship.
• 7:20
  But
• 7:21
  three
• 7:21
  teams
• 7:22
  that
• 7:22
  were
• 7:22
  left
• 7:23
  out.
• 7:24
  That
• 7:25
  people
• 7:25
  are
• 7:25
  really
• 7:25
  talking
• 7:26
  about
• 7:26
  today
• 7:27
  is
• 7:27
  first
• 7:28
  of
• 7:28
  all
• 7:28
  Notre
• 7:28
  Dame,
• 7:29
  who
• 7:29
  with
• 7:29
  an
• 7:29
  112
• 7:30
  record
• 7:30
  lost
• 7:30
  their
• 7:31
  first
• 7:31
  two
• 7:31
  games,
• 7:31
  went
• 7:31
  on
• 7:32
  a
• 7:32
  dramatic
• 7:33
  10
• 7:33
  game
• 7:33
  winning
• 7:33
  streak
• 7:35
  winning
• 7:35
  convincingly
• 7:36
  in
• 7:36
  all
• 7:37
  those
• 7:37
  10
• 7:38
  games.
• 7:38
  Their
• 7:39
  only
• 7:39
  two
• 7:39
  losses
• 7:39
  were
• 7:40
  to
• 7:40
  Miami.
• 7:41
  And
• 7:41
  to
• 7:41
  Texas
• 7:41
  A
• 7:42
  and
• 7:42
  M.
• 7:43
  Texas.
• 7:44
  Who
• 7:44
  had
• 7:45
  three
• 7:46
  top
• 7:46
  10
• 7:47
  victories
• 7:47
  over
• 7:47
  top
• 7:48
  10
• 7:48
  teams
• 7:49
  but
• 7:49
  had
• 7:49
  a
• 7:49
  couple.
• 7:50
  Sour
• 7:51
  losses
• 7:52
  along
• 7:52
  the
• 7:53
  way.
• 7:54
  They
• 7:54
  are
• 7:54
  left
• 7:54
  out
• 7:54
  on
• 7:54
  the
• 7:55
  outside.
• 7:55
  Of
• 7:55
  the
• 7:55
  College
• 7:56
  Football
• 7:56
  Playoff.
• 7:57
  And
• 7:57
  then
• 7:58
  you
• 7:58
  have,
• 7:58
  you
• 7:58
  know,
• 7:58
  Cinderella's
• 7:59
  story.
• 8:00
  Vanderbilt,
• 8:01
  who
• 8:02
  you
• 8:03
  know
• 8:03
  has
• 8:03
  had
• 8:04
  a
• 8:04
  tremendous
• 8:04
  season,
• 8:05
  plays
• 8:05
  in
• 8:05
  a
• 8:05
  very
• 8:06
  strong
• 8:06
  sec.
• 8:07
  They
• 8:07
  are
• 8:08
  on
• 8:08
  the
• 8:08
  outside
• 8:08
  looking
• 8:09
  in.
• 8:10
  So
• 8:10
  you
• 8:10
  have,
• 8:11
  but
• 8:11
  you
• 8:11
  have
• 8:12
  Tulane
• 8:13
  and
• 8:13
  James
• 8:13
  Madison.
• 8:14
  Nothing
• 8:14
  slight
• 8:15
  to
• 8:15
  slight
• 8:15
  them.
• 8:16
  They
• 8:16
  had
• 8:16
  both
• 8:16
  had
• 8:17
  great
• 8:17
  seasons.
• 8:18
  But
• 8:19
  would
• 8:19
  Tulane
• 8:20
  or
• 8:20
  James
• 8:20
  Madison
• 8:20
  lining
• 8:21
  up
• 8:21
  against
• 8:21
  Notre
• 8:22
  Dame
• 8:23
  or
• 8:23
  Texas
• 8:24
  or.
• 8:28
  The
• 8:28
  other
• 8:28
  team
• 8:28
  that
• 8:28
  we
• 8:29
  just
• 8:29
  mentioned,
• 8:31
  would
• 8:31
  they
• 8:31
  be
• 8:32
  able
• 8:32
  to
• 8:32
  go
• 8:32
  head
• 8:33
  to
• 8:33
  head
• 8:33
  against
• 8:33
  these
• 8:34
  teams
• 8:34
  and
• 8:34
  play?
• 8:35
  And
• 8:35
  you
• 8:35
  have
• 8:35
  also
• 8:36
  you
• 8:36
  have
• 8:36
  BYU.
• 8:37
  That
• 8:37
  did
• 8:37
  not
• 8:37
  make
• 8:38
  it
• 8:38
  into
• 8:38
  the
• 8:39
  college
• 8:39
  football
• 8:40
  playoffs.
• 8:40
  So
• 8:40
  that
• 8:41
  is
• 8:41
  very
• 8:41
  interesting.
• 8:42
  And
• 8:43
  then
• 8:43
  you
• 8:43
  have
• 8:43
  the
• 8:43
  Duke
• 8:44
  Blue
• 8:44
  Devils
• 8:44
  at
• 8:44
  8
• 8:44
  and
• 8:45
  5
• 8:45
  that
• 8:45
  won
• 8:45
  the
• 8:45
  ACC
• 8:46
  and
• 8:47
  they're
• 8:47
  left
• 8:47
  out
• 8:48
  which.
• 8:48
  I
• 8:48
  don't
• 8:49
  think
• 8:49
  anybody
• 8:49
  ever
• 8:49
  considered
• 8:50
  they
• 8:50
  were
• 8:50
  going
• 8:50
  to
• 8:50
  be
• 8:50
  in
• 8:50
  even
• 8:50
  if.
• 8:51
  They
• 8:51
  won
• 8:51
  that
• 8:52
  won
• 8:52
  their
• 8:52
  conference
• 8:53
  championship,
• 8:53
  which
• 8:54
  they
• 8:54
  did
• 8:54
  and
• 8:55
  they
• 8:55
  have
• 8:55
  no.
• 8:55
  Shot
• 8:56
  at
• 8:56
  getting
• 8:56
  in
• 8:56
  there.
• 8:57
  So
• 8:57
  a
• 8:57
  little
• 8:57
  bit
• 8:57
  inconsistent
• 8:58
  that
• 8:59
  you.
• 8:59
  Let
• 8:59
  a
• 8:59
  team
• 8:59
  that
• 9:00
  was
• 9:00
  not
• 9:00
  even.
• 9:00
  In
• 9:00
  their
• 9:01
  conference
• 9:01
  championship
• 9:02
  in
• 9:02
  that
• 9:02
  had.
• 9:03
  A
• 9:03
  better
• 9:03
  record
• 9:03
  than
• 9:03
  one
• 9:04
  of
• 9:04
  the
• 9:04
  teams
• 9:04
  that
• 9:04
  won
• 9:04
  it.
• 9:06
  But
• 9:07
  you
• 9:08
  know
• 9:08
  Miami
• 9:09
  is
• 9:09
  probably
• 9:10
  most
• 9:10
  definitely
• 9:11
  one
• 9:11
  of
• 9:11
  the
• 9:11
  top
• 9:11
  12
• 9:12
  best
• 9:12
  teams
• 9:13
  in
• 9:13
  in
• 9:13
  a
• 9:13
  country
• 9:13
  we
• 9:13
  want
• 9:14
  to
• 9:14
  see
• 9:14
  play.
• 9:15
  But
• 9:16
  is
• 9:16
  Tulane
• 9:17
  and
• 9:17
  James
• 9:17
  Madison.
• 9:18
  That's
• 9:18
  the
• 9:18
  real
• 9:18
  question
• 9:19
  here.
• 9:19
  They've
• 9:20
  got
• 9:20
  themselves
• 9:20
  in
• 9:20
  a
• 9:20
  real
• 9:20
  dilemma
• 9:21
  having
• 9:22
  to
• 9:22
  invite
• 9:23
  some
• 9:23
  of
• 9:23
  these
• 9:24
  group
• 9:24
  of
• 9:24
  five
• 9:25
  conferences
• 9:26
  in
• 9:27
  and
• 9:27
  letting
• 9:27
  some
• 9:27
  of
• 9:27
  their
• 9:28
  championships
• 9:28
  in
• 9:28
  just
• 9:29
  to
• 9:29
  save
• 9:29
  face
• 9:29
  to
• 9:30
  keep
• 9:30
  peace.
• 9:30
  But
• 9:31
  the
• 9:31
  people
• 9:32
  want
• 9:32
  the
• 9:32
  best
• 9:32
  12.
• 9:33
  Teams
• 9:33
  in
• 9:34
  the
• 9:34
  playoff.
• 9:35
  I
• 9:35
  don't
• 9:35
  know
• 9:36
  that
• 9:36
  Tulane
• 9:36
  and
• 9:36
  James
• 9:37
  Madison
• 9:37
  has
• 9:37
  enough
• 9:38
  oomph
• 9:39
  to
• 9:39
  win
• 9:39
  a
• 9:40
  national
• 9:40
  championship
• 9:40
  against
• 9:41
  the
• 9:41
  Indianas,
• 9:42
  Ohio
• 9:42
  State's.
• 9:43
  Georgias
• 9:43
  and
• 9:43
  Texas
• 9:44
  Texas
• 9:44
  the
• 9:44
  world.
• 9:45
  I
• 9:45
  don't
• 9:45
  know
• 9:45
  that
• 9:45
  they
• 9:46
  compete
• 9:46
  against.
• 9:46
  The
• 9:46
  Oregon
• 9:47
  Ole
• 9:47
  Miss
• 9:47
  and
• 9:47
  Texas
• 9:48
  A.
• 9:48
  And
• 9:48
  M
• 9:48
  and
• 9:48
  Oklahoma's
• 9:49
  of
• 9:49
  the
• 9:49
  world
• 9:49
  Let
• 9:50
  alone
• 9:50
  Alabama
• 9:51
  and
• 9:51
  Miami.
• 9:52
  So
• 9:53
  we
• 9:54
  might
• 9:55
  not
• 9:55
  have
• 9:55
  the
• 9:55
  best
• 9:56
  12
• 9:56
  teams
• 9:56
  in
• 9:57
  the
• 9:57
  country
• 9:57
  playing
• 9:58
  in
• 9:58
  this
• 9:58
  championship
• 9:59
  game.
• 10:01
  Now
• 10:01
  there
• 10:01
  is
• 10:01
  so
• 10:02
  much
• 10:02
  more
• 10:02
  going
• 10:02
  on
• 10:02
  to
• 10:03
  this
• 10:03
  has
• 10:03
  got
• 10:03
  a
• 10:03
  very.
• 10:04
  Similar
• 10:04
  situation
• 10:05
  to
• 10:05
  what
• 10:06
  the
• 10:06
  NFL
• 10:06
  has

  with

  wanting

• 10:13
  going

  into
• 10:13
  the

  playoffs
• 10:14
  where
• 10:15
  sometimes
• 10:16
  you
• 10:16
  have
• 10:16
  the
• 10:16
  case
• 10:17
  where
• 10:17
  you
• 10:17
  have.
• 10:18
  Three
• 10:18
  really
• 10:18
  good
• 10:18
  teams
• 10:19
  from
• 10:19
  one
• 10:19
  division.
• 10:20
  You
• 10:20
  know,
• 10:20
  three
• 10:20
  good
• 10:21
  teams
• 10:21
  out
• 10:21
  of
• 10:21
  the
• 10:21
  four
• 10:21
  in
• 10:21
  a
• 10:22
  division
• 10:22
  and
• 10:22
  one
• 10:23
  of
• 10:23
  them
• 10:23
  has
• 10:23
  to
• 10:23
  sit
• 10:23
  home
• 10:24
  while
• 10:24
  you
• 10:24
  have
• 10:25
  a
• 10:25
  team
• 10:25
  that
• 10:26
  won
• 10:26
  their
• 10:26
  division
• 10:26
  with
• 10:27
  a
• 10:27
  much
• 10:27
  poorer
• 10:27
  record
• 10:28
  getting
• 10:28
  a
• 10:28
  home
• 10:29
  game.
• 10:30
  Not
• 10:30
  the
• 10:30
  best
• 10:31
  place
• 10:31
  to
• 10:32
  have,
• 10:32
  you.
• 10:32
  Know,
• 10:33
  in
• 10:33
  your
• 10:33
  playoffs.
• 10:34
  You
• 10:34
  want
• 10:34
  the
• 10:34
  best
• 10:34
  teams
• 10:35
  competing
• 10:36
  for
• 10:36
  the
• 10:36
  postseason.
• 10:37
  That's
• 10:37
  what
• 10:37
  the
• 10:38
  fans
• 10:38
  want,
• 10:38
  that's
• 10:38
  what
• 10:39
  the
• 10:39
  teams
• 10:39
  want,
• 10:39
  that's
• 10:39
  what
• 10:40
  the
• 10:40
  coaches
• 10:40
  want.
• 10:41
  Obviously
• 10:41
  not
• 10:41
  what
• 10:42
  the
• 10:42
  leagues
• 10:42
  and
• 10:42
  the
• 10:43
  organizers
• 10:43
  of
• 10:43
  the
• 10:44
  NCAA
• 10:44
  in
• 10:44
  a
• 10:44
  college.
• 10:44
  Football
• 10:45
  playoff
• 10:46
  and
• 10:46
  the
• 10:46
  conferences
• 10:46
  of
• 10:47
  college
• 10:47
  football
• 10:48
  want.
• 10:49
  They
• 10:49
  want
• 10:49
  their
• 10:49
  cake
• 10:50
  and
• 10:50
  eat
• 10:50
  it
• 10:50
  too.
• 10:51
  Well,
• 10:51
  that's
• 10:52
  going
• 10:52
  to
• 10:52
  backfire
• 10:53
  on
• 10:53
  him.
• 10:53
  And
• 10:53
  this
• 10:53
  might
• 10:54
  be
• 10:54
  the
• 10:54
  year
• 10:54
  that.
• 10:54
  It
• 10:55
  does
• 10:56
  by
• 10:56
  letting
• 10:57
  teams
• 10:57
  like
• 10:57
  Notre
• 10:58
  Dame,
• 10:58
  byu,
• 11:00
  Vanderbilt
• 11:01
  and
• 11:02
  you
• 11:02
  know.
• 11:04
  Some
• 11:04
  of
• 11:04
  the
• 11:04
  other
• 11:05
  ones
• 11:05
  sit
• 11:05
  out
• 11:06
  without
• 11:06
  being
• 11:06
  able
• 11:07
  invited
• 11:07
  into
• 11:08
  this
• 11:09
  tournament
• 11:10
  here.
• 11:11
  Very
• 11:12
  disappointing
• 11:12
  for
• 11:13
  those
• 11:13
  teams
• 11:14
  on
• 11:14
  the
• 11:14
  outside
• 11:14
  looking
• 11:15
  in,
• 11:15
  very
• 11:15
  exciting
• 11:16
  for
• 11:16
  the
• 11:16
  Tulanes,
• 11:16
  James
• 11:17
  Madison's,
• 11:17
  Alabama,
• 11:18
  Miami.
• 11:18
  So
• 11:18
  we're
• 11:19
  all
• 11:19
  on
• 11:19
  the
• 11:19
  bubble
• 11:20
  coming
• 11:20
  into
• 11:20
  this,
• 11:21
  but
• 11:21
  we'll
• 11:22
  see
• 11:22
  what
• 11:22
  happens
• 11:23
  here.
• 11:23
  We
• 11:23
  got
• 11:23
  some
• 11:23
  great
• 11:24
  football
• 11:24
  coming
• 11:25
  up
• 11:25
  here
• 11:25
  starting
• 11:26
  the
• 11:26
  weekend
• 11:26
  of
• 11:26
  December
• 11:27
  19th
• 11:27
  and
• 11:28
  20th
• 11:28
  and
• 11:29
  we'll
• 11:29
  see
• 11:29
  how
• 11:29
  these
• 11:29
  playoffs
• 11:30
  match
• 11:30
  up
• 11:31
  and
• 11:32
  also
• 11:32
  see
• 11:32
  how
• 11:32
  the
• 11:32
  NFL
• 11:33
  playoffs
• 11:33
  are
• 11:33
  going
• 11:34
  to
• 11:34
  be
• 11:34
  start
• 11:34
  shape
• 11:34
  shaping
• 11:35
  up
• 11:35
  here
• 11:35
  in
• 11:35
  December
• 11:36
  and
• 11:36
  early
• 11:36
  January
• 11:38
  to
• 11:38
  see
• 11:38
  how
• 11:38
  that
• 11:38
  goes.
• 11:39
  But
• 11:40
  need
• 11:40
  to
• 11:40
  fix
• 11:40
  a
• 11:40
  couple
• 11:41
  things.
• 11:41
  For
• 11:41
  the
• 11:42
  next
• 11:42
  year.
• 11:42
  Either
• 11:43
  expand
• 11:43
  it
• 11:44
  or
• 11:45
  make
• 11:45
  it
• 11:45
  so
• 11:45
  it's
• 11:46
  the
• 11:46
  best
• 11:46
  12
• 11:46
  teams
• 11:47
  or
• 11:47
  don't
• 11:47
  even
• 11:47
  keep
• 11:48
  the
• 11:48
  rankings.
• 11:48
  You
• 11:48
  know,
• 11:49
  just
• 11:49
  rank
• 11:49
  them
• 11:49
  at
• 11:50
  the.
• 11:50
  End
• 11:50
  of
• 11:50
  the
• 11:50
  year.
• 11:50
  You
• 11:50
  know,
• 11:50
  what
• 11:51
  the
• 11:51
  heck,
• 11:52
  they
• 11:52
  don't
• 11:52
  really
• 11:53
  mean
• 11:53
  anything
• 11:53
  anyway
• 11:54
  once
• 11:54
  you
• 11:55
  set
• 11:55
  that
• 11:55
  precedent.
• 11:56
  Hope
• 11:56
  this
• 11:57
  doesn't
• 11:58
  put
• 11:58
  you
