  really

  interesting

  numbers
• 2:01
  have
• 2:01
  come
• 2:01
  out
• 2:01
  of

  that.
• 2:02
  After
• 2:02
  two
• 2:03
  years
• 2:04
  of
• 2:04
  having
• 2:05

  in

  a

  college

• 2:09
  Some
• 2:09
  alarming
• 2:09
  news
• 2:10
  for
• 2:10
  teams
• 2:10
  that
• 2:10
  have
• 2:11
  buys.
• 2:11
  We'll
• 2:12
  get
• 2:12
  to
• 2:12
  that
• 2:12
  in
• 2:12
  just
• 2:12
  a
• 2:12
  moment.
• 2:13
  But
• 2:13
  there's
• 2:13
  a
• 2:14
  very
• 2:14
  interesting
• 2:15
  play
• 2:15
  that
• 2:16
  happened
• 2:16
  in
• 2:16
  a
• 2:16
  non
• 2:17
  college
• 2:17
  football
• 2:17
  play.
• 2:18
  The
• 2:18
  Reliaquest
• 2:19
  bowl
• 2:20
  which
• 2:20
  was
• 2:20
  played
• 2:20
  the
• 2:21
  other
• 2:21
  day
• 2:21
  between
• 2:22
  Vanderbilt
• 2:23
  and
• 2:24
  Iowa
• 2:25
  had
• 2:25
  a
• 2:25
  very
• 2:26
  interesting
• 2:26
  play
• 2:27
  right
• 2:27
  before
• 2:27
  the
• 2:28
  first
• 2:28
  half.
• 2:29
  Vanderbilt
• 2:30
  was
• 2:30
  trying
• 2:30
  to
• 2:30
  get
• 2:30
  back
• 2:30
  into
• 2:31
  the
• 2:31
  game.
• 2:31
  They
• 2:32
  ended
• 2:32
  up
• 2:33
  squandering
• 2:34
  some
• 2:34
  opportunities.
• 2:35
  They
• 2:35
  had
• 2:35
  a
• 2:35
  4th
• 2:36
  and
• 2:36
  15
• 2:36
  from
• 2:37
  their
• 2:37
  own
• 2:37
  15
• 2:38
  yard
• 2:38
  line
• 2:39
  and
• 2:39
  their
• 2:39
  punter
• 2:40
  took
• 2:41
  the
• 2:41
  snap
• 2:41
  and
• 2:41
  went
• 2:42
  almost
• 2:42
  what
• 2:42
  looked
• 2:43
  like
• 2:43
  it
• 2:43
  was
• 2:43
  going
• 2:43
  to
• 2:43
  be
• 2:43
  a
• 2:44
  fake
• 2:44
  or
• 2:45
  at
• 2:45
  least
• 2:45
  a
• 2:45
  rugby
• 2:46
  scrum
• 2:46
  punt.
• 2:47
  He
• 2:47
  started
• 2:47
  running
• 2:48
  towards
• 2:48
  the
• 2:48
  line
• 2:48
  of
• 2:49
  scrimmage
• 2:49
  and
• 2:50
  then
• 2:50
  kick
• 2:50
  the
• 2:51
  ball.
• 2:51
  Really
• 2:51
  had
• 2:51
  a
• 2:52
  really
• 2:52
  nice
• 2:52
  boot
• 2:53
  that
• 2:53
  would
• 2:53
  have
• 2:54
  flipped
• 2:54
  the
• 2:54
  field
• 2:54
  quite
• 2:55
  nicely
• 2:55
  to
• 2:56
  and
• 2:56
  a
• 2:56
  half
• 2:56
  because
• 2:56
  there
• 2:56
  was
• 2:56
  less
• 2:57
  than
• 2:57
  a
• 2:57
  minute
• 2:57
  left.
• 2:57
  I
• 2:57
  think
• 2:58
  there's
• 2:58
  45
• 2:58
  seconds
• 2:59
  left
• 2:59
  when
• 2:59
  he
• 2:59
  kicked
• 3:00
  the
• 3:00
  ball
• 3:00
  or
• 3:00
  when
• 3:00
  at
• 3:01
  least
• 3:01
  the
• 3:01
  snap
• 3:01
  for
• 3:01
  the
• 3:02
  the
• 3:02
  punt
• 3:02
  was
• 3:02
  taken.
• 3:03
  But
• 3:03
  there
• 3:04
  was
• 3:04
  a
• 3:04
  flag
• 3:04
  on
• 3:04
  the
• 3:05
  field
• 3:05
  and
• 3:05
  here
• 3:06
  the
• 3:06
  punter
• 3:07
  had
• 3:08
  gone
• 3:08
  past
• 3:09
  the
• 3:09
  line
• 3:09
  of
• 3:09
  scrimmage
• 3:10
  when
• 3:10
  he
• 3:10
  punted
• 3:11
  and
• 3:11
  he
• 3:11
  was
• 3:11
  flagged
• 3:12
  for
• 3:12
  it,
• 3:12
  which
• 3:13
  I
• 3:13
  don't
• 3:13
  think
• 3:13
  I've
• 3:13
  ever
• 3:14
  seen
• 3:14
  in
• 3:15
  all
• 3:15
  my
• 3:15
  career
• 3:16
  of
• 3:16
  officiating
• 3:16
  or
• 3:17
  spectating
• 3:18
  football.
• 3:18
  I've
• 3:19
  never
• 3:19
  seen
• 3:19
  a
• 3:19
  punter
• 3:20
  cross
• 3:20
  the
• 3:20
  line
• 3:20
  for
• 3:20
  an
• 3:21
  illegal
• 3:21
  kick
• 3:22
  until
• 3:22
  this
• 3:22
  game.
• 3:23
  And
• 3:23
  it
• 3:23
  happened
• 3:24
  at
• 3:24
  a
• 3:24
  crucial
• 3:25
  moment
• 3:25
  and
• 3:26
  the
• 3:26
  penalty
• 3:26
  which
• 3:27
  I
• 3:27
  was
• 3:27
  a
• 3:27
  little
• 3:27
  bit
• 3:27
  surprised
• 3:28
  to
• 3:28
  I
• 3:28
  didn't
• 3:28
  process
• 3:29
  the
• 3:29
  whole
• 3:30
  play.
• 3:30
  I
• 3:30
  figured
• 3:30
  it
• 3:31
  would
• 3:31
  be,
• 3:31
  you
• 3:31
  know,
• 3:32
  maybe
• 3:33
  half
• 3:33
  the
• 3:33
  distance
• 3:34
  and
• 3:34
  a
• 3:34
  re
• 3:34
  kick
• 3:35
  or
• 3:35
  something.
• 3:35
  I
• 3:35
  didn't
• 3:35
  really
• 3:36
  process
• 3:36
  the
• 3:36
  whole
• 3:36
  thing
• 3:37
  but
• 3:37
  the
• 3:37
  college
• 3:37
  rule
• 3:38
  was
• 3:39
  you'd
• 3:39
  have
• 3:39
  a
• 3:40
  five
• 3:40
  yard
• 3:41
  penalty
• 3:42
  the
• 3:42
  team
• 3:42
  from
• 3:43
  the
• 3:43
  preceding
• 3:43
  spot,
• 3:44
  which
• 3:44
  means
• 3:45
  from
• 3:45
  the
• 3:45
  15
• 3:45
  yard
• 3:46
  line
• 3:46
  where
• 3:46
  the
• 3:46
  blast
• 3:46
  ball
• 3:47
  was
• 3:47
  snapped,
• 3:48
  it's
• 3:48
  a
• 3:48
  turnover
• 3:49
  on
• 3:49
  downs.
• 3:50
  And
• 3:50
  Iowa
• 3:51
  got
• 3:51
  the
• 3:51
  ball
• 3:51
  at
• 3:52
  the
• 3:52
  10
• 3:52
  yard
• 3:52
  line
• 3:53
  and
• 3:53
  proceeded
• 3:54
  with
• 3:54
  Granowski
• 3:55
  their
• 3:55
  quarterback
• 3:56
  to
• 3:56
  throw
• 3:56
  a
• 3:56
  10
• 3:57
  yard
• 3:57
  strike
• 3:57
  to
• 3:58
  the
• 3:58
  right
• 3:58
  corner
• 3:58
  of
• 3:59
  the
• 3:59
  pylon
• 4:00
  and
• 4:00
  scored.
• 4:00
  It's
• 4:01
  a
• 4:01
  quick
• 4:01
  touchdown.
• 4:02
  Got
• 4:02
  another
• 4:03
  seven
• 4:03
  points
• 4:03
  added
• 4:04
  to
• 4:04
  their
• 4:05
  padding
• 4:05
  of
• 4:05
  their
• 4:06
  lead
• 4:06
  going
• 4:06
  into
• 4:06
  halftime
• 4:07
  and
• 4:07
  Cruz
• 4:08
  to
• 4:08
  a
• 4:08
  victory
• 4:08
  in
• 4:08
  the
• 4:08
  Reliaquest
• 4:09
  Bowl.
• 4:10
  But
• 4:10
  very
• 4:11
  interesting
• 4:11
  play
• 4:12
  and
• 4:12
  you
• 4:12
  don't
• 4:12
  see
• 4:12
  that
• 4:13
  very
• 4:13
  often
• 4:14
  but
• 4:15
  illegal
• 4:15
  kick,
• 4:16
  you
• 4:17
  know,
• 4:17
  going
• 4:17
  past
• 4:17
  that
• 4:18
  line
• 4:18
  of
• 4:18
  scrimmage.
• 4:19
  So
• 4:19
  be
• 4:19
  careful.
• 4:20
  Teams
• 4:20
  and
• 4:21
  punters
• 4:22
  at
• 4:22
  all
• 4:22
  levels
• 4:23
  that
• 4:23
  are
• 4:23
  doing
• 4:24
  the
• 4:24
  rugby
• 4:25
  scrum
• 4:25
  punt
• 4:26
  or
• 4:26
  faking
• 4:27
  or
• 4:27
  feigning
• 4:27
  to
• 4:28
  fake
• 4:28
  a
• 4:28
  punt
• 4:29
  and
• 4:29
  running
• 4:29
  towards
• 4:30
  the
• 4:30
  line
• 4:30
  of
• 4:30
  scrimmage,
• 4:30
  make
• 4:31
  sure
• 4:31
  you
• 4:31
  boot
• 4:31
  that
• 4:31
  ball
• 4:32
  before
• 4:32
  you
• 4:32
  get
• 4:32
  there
• 4:33
  because
• 4:33
  it's
• 4:33
  not
• 4:33
  quite
• 4:33
  like
• 4:34
  illegal
• 4:34
  forward
• 4:35
  pass,
• 4:35
  it's
• 4:35
  not
• 4:36
  penalized
• 4:36
  the
• 4:36
  same.
• 4:37
  And
• 4:38
  Vanderbilt
• 4:39
  learned
• 4:39
  very
• 4:40
  quickly,
• 4:40
  quickly
• 4:41
  how
• 4:41
  painful
• 4:42
  that
• 4:42
  penalty
• 4:42
  can
• 4:43
  be
• 4:43
  in
• 4:44
  that
• 4:44
  circumstance.
• 4:44
  So
• 4:45
  that's
• 4:45
  just
• 4:45
  an
• 4:45
  oddity
• 4:45
  that
• 4:46
  came
• 4:46
  out
• 4:46
  of
• 4:46
  the
• 4:46
  college
• 4:46
  football
• 4:47
  playoffs.
• 4:47
  But
• 4:48
  another
• 4:48
  one
• 4:48
  is
• 4:49
  teams
• 4:49
  that
• 4:49
  have
• 4:50
  first
• 4:50
  round
• 4:50
  buys.
• 4:50
  So
• 4:51
  let's
• 4:51
  just
• 4:51
  review
• 4:51
  the
• 4:52
  college
• 4:52
  football
• 4:52
  playoff
• 4:53
  of
• 4:53
  the
• 4:53
  last
• 4:54
  two
• 4:54
  years,
• 4:54
  the
• 4:54
  first
• 4:55
  two
• 4:55
  years
• 4:55
  of
• 4:56
  the
• 4:56
  12
• 4:56
  team
• 4:57
  format.
• 4:57
  So
• 4:58
  you
• 4:58
  have
• 4:58
  12
• 4:58
  teams,
• 4:59
  you
• 5:00
  have
• 5:00
  the
• 5:01
  top
• 5:01
  four
• 5:01
  seeds
• 5:02
  get
• 5:02
  a
• 5:03
  buy
• 5:03
  in
• 5:03
  the
• 5:03
  first
• 5:03
  round,
• 5:04
  the
• 5:05
  other
• 5:05
  seeds,
• 5:06
  the
• 5:06
  next
• 5:06
  four
• 5:07
  highest
• 5:07
  seeds
• 5:08
  will
• 5:08
  be
• 5:08
  seeds
• 5:09
  five
• 5:09
  through
• 5:09
  eight
• 5:10
  get
• 5:10
  a
• 5:11
  home
• 5:11
  game
• 5:11
  in
• 5:11
  the
• 5:11
  first
• 5:12
  round
• 5:12
  and
• 5:13
  the
• 5:13
  seeds
• 5:14
  nine
• 5:14
  through
• 5:15
  12
• 5:15
  have
• 5:15
  to
• 5:16
  play
• 5:16
  those
• 5:17
  respective
• 5:18
  teams
• 5:18
  on
• 5:18
  their
• 5:19
  home
• 5:19
  field.
• 5:19
  Well,
• 5:20
  last
• 5:21
  year
• 5:22
  all
• 5:22
  of
• 5:22
  the
• 5:22
  teams
• 5:23
  that
• 5:23
  had
• 5:23
  buys
• 5:24
  lost
• 5:24
  all
• 5:25
  four
• 5:25
  games.
• 5:26
  You
• 5:26
  know,
• 5:27
  it
• 5:27
  was
• 5:27
  just
• 5:27
  an
• 5:28
  unbelievable
• 5:28
  circumstance
• 5:29
  and
• 5:29
  everybody
• 5:30
  said
• 5:30
  wow,
• 5:30
  is
• 5:31
  it
• 5:31
  maybe
• 5:31
  is
• 5:31
  that
• 5:32
  too
• 5:32
  long
• 5:32
  to
• 5:32
  go
• 5:33
  without
• 5:33
  playing
• 5:33
  a
• 5:34
  football
• 5:34
  game?
• 5:35
  These
• 5:35
  first
• 5:35
  round
• 5:36
  buys,
• 5:36
  could
• 5:36
  that
• 5:36
  be
• 5:37
  the
• 5:37
  problem?
• 5:38
  You
• 5:38
  know,
• 5:38
  we
• 5:38
  had
• 5:39
  Arizona
• 5:39
  State
• 5:40
  ended
• 5:40
  up
• 5:41
  losing
• 5:41
  to
• 5:41
  Texas.
• 5:43
  Ohio
• 5:43
  State
• 5:44
  beat
• 5:44
  Oregon
• 5:45
  who
• 5:45
  had
• 5:45
  a
• 5:45
  buy.
• 5:46
  Boise
• 5:46
  State
• 5:47
  lost
• 5:47
  to
• 5:48
  the
• 5:49
  Notre
• 5:49
  Dame,
• 5:50
  sorry
• 5:50
  to
• 5:50
  Penn
• 5:51
  State
• 5:51
  and
• 5:52
  Georgia
• 5:53
  lost
• 5:53
  to
• 5:53
  Notre
• 5:54
  Dame.04
• 5:55
  were
• 5:55
  the
• 5:56
  teams
• 5:56
  with
• 5:56
  buys.
• 5:57
  So
• 5:57
  you
• 5:57
  go
• 5:57
  into
• 5:58
  this
• 5:58
  year
• 5:58
  for
• 5:59
  the
• 5:59
  college
• 6:00
  football
• 6:00
  playoffs,
• 6:01
  the
• 6:01
  2025
• 6:02
  season,
• 6:03
  it
• 6:03
  doesn't
• 6:03
  get
• 6:03
  much
• 6:04
  better
• 6:04
  there.
• 6:05
  We
• 6:05
  had
• 6:05
  three,
• 6:06
  three
• 6:07
  of
• 6:07
  the
• 6:07
  four
• 6:07
  teams
• 6:08
  that
• 6:08
  had
• 6:08
  a
• 6:08
  bye
• 6:09
  week
• 6:09
  lose
• 6:10
  the
• 6:10
  game.
• 6:10
  The
• 6:10
  exception
• 6:11
  was
• 6:12
  Indiana
• 6:13
  who
• 6:14
  handily
• 6:14
  won
• 6:15
  their
• 6:15
  game
• 6:15
  defeating
• 6:16
  Alabama.
• 6:17
  But
• 6:18
  you
• 6:18
  know,
• 6:18
  Oregon
• 6:19
  beat
• 6:19
  Texas
• 6:19
  Techs
• 6:20
  who
• 6:20
  had
• 6:20
  to
• 6:20
  buy.
• 6:21
  Ole
• 6:21
  Miss
• 6:21
  came
• 6:22
  back
• 6:22
  and
• 6:22
  beat
• 6:22
  Georgia
• 6:23
  and
• 6:23
  a
• 6:23
  thrilling
• 6:24
  game
• 6:25
  or
• 6:25
  Georgia
• 6:26
  had
• 6:26
  that
• 6:26
  first
• 6:26
  round
• 6:27
  by
• 6:27
  and
• 6:27
  Miami
• 6:28
  surprised
• 6:28
  Ohio
• 6:29
  State.
• 6:30
  And
• 6:30
  so
• 6:30
  people
• 6:30
  say,
• 6:31
  you
• 6:31
  know,
• 6:31
  teams
• 6:32
  can't
• 6:32
  go
• 6:32
  this
• 6:32
  long
• 6:32
  without
• 6:33
  playing
• 6:34
  a
• 6:34
  game.
• 6:35
  So
• 6:35
  that
• 6:35
  makes
• 6:36
  seven
• 6:36
  of
• 6:36
  eight
• 6:37
  teams
• 6:37
  with
• 6:38
  buys
• 6:38
  in
• 6:38
  the
• 6:38
  last
• 6:39
  two
• 6:39
  years
• 6:39
  have
• 6:39
  lost
• 6:40
  their
• 6:40
  first
• 6:41
  round
• 6:41
  thing
• 6:41
  and,
• 6:41
  and
• 6:42
  you
• 6:42
  know,
• 6:42
  got
• 6:42
  kicked
• 6:43
  out
• 6:43
  of
• 6:43
  the
• 6:43
  tournament
• 6:44
  because
• 6:44
  of
• 6:44
  that,
• 6:44
  but,
• 6:45
  you
• 6:45
  know,
• 6:45
  losing,
• 6:46
  you're
• 6:46
  out
• 6:46
  kind
• 6:46
  of
• 6:46
  thing.
• 6:47
  But
• 6:47
  Miami
• 6:48
  is
• 6:48
  a
• 6:48
  perfect
• 6:49
  example
• 6:49
  of
• 6:49
  a
• 6:50
  team
• 6:50
  that
• 6:51
  did
• 6:51
  not
• 6:51
  play
• 6:51
  in
• 6:51
  their
• 6:51
  conference
• 6:52
  championship.
• 6:52
  They
• 6:52
  were
• 6:52
  not
• 6:53
  in
• 6:53
  the
• 6:53
  ACC
• 6:53
  championship
• 6:54
  for
• 6:54
  the
• 6:54
  weird
• 6:55
  rule
• 6:55
  that
• 6:55
  the
• 6:55
  ACC
• 6:56
  had,
• 6:56
  we
• 6:56
  talked
• 6:56
  about
• 6:57
  that
• 6:57
  on
• 6:57
  a
• 6:57
  previous
• 6:57
  episode.
• 6:58
  But
• 6:58
  they
• 6:58
  went
• 6:59
  20
• 6:59
  some
• 6:59
  days
• 6:59
  without
• 7:00
  playing
• 7:00
  a
• 7:00
  game,
• 7:01
  ended
• 7:01
  up
• 7:01
  winning
• 7:02
  two
• 7:02
  games
• 7:02
  in
• 7:02
  a
• 7:02
  row,
• 7:03
  one
• 7:04
  on
• 7:04
  the
• 7:05
  road
• 7:05
  against
• 7:05
  Texas
• 7:06
  A
• 7:06
  and
• 7:06
  M
• 7:07
  in
• 7:07
  their
• 7:07
  first
• 7:07
  round
• 7:08
  game.
• 7:08
  So
• 7:08
  it
• 7:08
  can
• 7:09
  be
• 7:09
  done
• 7:09
  and
• 7:10
  maybe
• 7:10
  it's
• 7:10
  not
• 7:10
  too
• 7:10
  long,
• 7:11
  but
• 7:11
  maybe
• 7:11
  the
• 7:11
  preparedness
• 7:12
  of
• 7:12
  it
• 7:13
  maybe
• 7:13
  should
• 7:13
  be
• 7:13
  looked
• 7:14
  at.
• 7:14
  That's
• 7:14
  an
• 7:15
  interesting
• 7:15
  thing
• 7:15
  to
• 7:16
  examine.
• 7:18
  So
• 7:18
  let's
• 7:19
  look
• 7:19
  at
• 7:19
  this
• 7:19
  comparatively.
• 7:20
  I
• 7:21
  guess
• 7:21
  the
• 7:21
  only
• 7:21
  thing
• 7:21
  that's
• 7:22
  closest
• 7:22
  to
• 7:22
  this
• 7:22
  in
• 7:23
  the
• 7:23
  game
• 7:23
  of
• 7:23
  football
• 7:23
  would
• 7:24
  be
• 7:24
  maybe
• 7:24
  the
• 7:24
  National
• 7:25
  Football
• 7:25
  League
• 7:26
  who
• 7:26
  has
• 7:26
  had
• 7:27
  first
• 7:27
  round
• 7:27
  buys
• 7:28
  for
• 7:28
  probably
• 7:28
  the
• 7:29
  last
• 7:30
  30
• 7:30
  some
• 7:30
  years
• 7:31
  of
• 7:31
  the
• 7:31
  top
• 7:32
  seed.
• 7:33
  From
• 7:33
  2000
• 7:34
  to
• 7:34
  2019
• 7:35
  you
• 7:36
  had
• 7:37
  top
• 7:37
  two
• 7:37
  seeds
• 7:38
  got
• 7:38
  by.
• 7:39
  So
• 7:39
  it's,
• 7:39
  it's
• 7:39
  been
• 7:40
  sort
• 7:40
  of
• 7:41
  staggered
• 7:41
  around
• 7:41
  here
• 7:42
  for
• 7:43
  some
• 7:43
  time.
• 7:43
  But
• 7:43
  now
• 7:44
  you
• 7:44
  know,
• 7:44
  you
• 7:44
  have
• 7:45
  first
• 7:46
  two
• 7:46
  seeds
• 7:46
  are
• 7:46
  getting
• 7:46
  buys
• 7:47
  again
• 7:47
  here.
• 7:48
  But
• 7:48
  so
• 7:48
  roughly
• 7:49
  in
• 7:49
  the
• 7:49
  last
• 7:50
  25
• 7:50
  years
• 7:50
  and
• 7:50
  these
• 7:51
  are
• 7:51
  not
• 7:51
  exact
• 7:52
  numbers,
• 7:52
  they're
• 7:52
  just
• 7:53
  numbers
• 7:53
  I
• 7:54
  tried
• 7:55
  to
• 7:55
  add
• 7:55
  up
• 7:55
  real
• 7:55
  quick
• 7:56
  here
• 7:56
  to
• 7:56
  do
• 7:57
  but
• 7:57
  just
• 7:57
  to
• 7:57
  give
• 7:57
  some
• 7:58
  perspective
• 7:58
  on
• 7:58
  this.
• 7:59
  So
• 7:59
  in
• 7:59
  the
• 8:00
  last
• 8:00
  25
• 8:00
  years
• 8:00
  we've
• 8:01
  had
• 8:01
  approximately
• 8:02
  88
• 8:02
  games
• 8:03
  of
• 8:03
  teams
• 8:04
  that
• 8:04
  had
• 8:04
  a
• 8:04
  first
• 8:05
  round
• 8:05
  buy
• 8:05
  in
• 8:05
  the
• 8:06
  playoffs,
• 8:06
  that
• 8:07
  played
• 8:07
  in
• 8:07
  the
• 8:07
  divisional
• 8:08
  round
• 8:08
  the
• 8:08
  next
• 8:08
  week.
• 8:09
  A
• 8:09
  home
• 8:09
  game
• 8:10
  in
• 8:10
  NFL
• 8:11
  circumstances,
• 8:12
  unlike
• 8:13
  the
• 8:13
  college
• 8:13
  game
• 8:13
  where
• 8:13
  they
• 8:14
  play
• 8:14
  on
• 8:14
  neutral
• 8:14
  sites.
• 8:15
  But
• 8:16
  there's
• 8:16
  only
• 8:17
  been
• 8:17
  38
• 8:17
  times
• 8:18
  in
• 8:18
  the
• 8:18
  88
• 8:19
  that
• 8:19
  a
• 8:20
  team
• 8:20
  with
• 8:20
  the
• 8:21
  buy
• 8:21
  lost
• 8:21
  the
• 8:22
  game.
• 8:22
  They
• 8:22
  were
• 8:22
  thus
• 8:23
  the
• 8:23
  home
• 8:23
  team.
• 8:24
  So
• 8:24
  it's
• 8:25
  a
• 8:25
  little
• 8:25
  bit
• 8:25
  in
• 8:25
  favor
• 8:26
  of
• 8:26
  the
• 8:26
  home
• 8:26
  team
• 8:27
  that
• 8:27
  had
• 8:27
  the
• 8:27
  buy
• 8:28
  and
• 8:28
  the
• 8:28
  National
• 8:29
  Football
• 8:29
  League.
• 8:30
  Nothing
• 8:30
  like
• 8:31
  the
• 8:31
  1
• 8:32
  in
• 8:32
  8
• 8:33
  or
• 8:33
  1
• 8:33
  in
• 8:34
  7
• 8:34
  record
• 8:34
  of
• 8:35
  the
• 8:35
  the
• 8:35
  team
• 8:36
  of
• 8:36
  the
• 8:36
  buy
• 8:36
  in
• 8:37
  the
• 8:37
  college
• 8:37
  football
• 8:37
  playoffs
• 8:38
  the
• 8:38
  first
• 8:38
  two
• 8:38
  years.
• 8:39
  So
• 8:39
  will
• 8:39
  this
• 8:40
  trend
• 8:40
  change
• 8:41
  and
• 8:41
  what
• 8:41
  will
• 8:41
  teams
• 8:42
  do
• 8:42
  in
• 8:43
  the
• 8:43
  coming
• 8:43
  years
• 8:43
  to
• 8:44
  if
• 8:44
  the
• 8:45
  same
• 8:45
  format
• 8:45
  is
• 8:45
  held
• 8:46
  to,
• 8:47
  you
• 8:47
  know,
• 8:47
  prevent
• 8:48
  against
• 8:48
  us
• 8:48
  should,
• 8:49
  you
• 8:50
  know,
• 8:50
  maybe
• 8:51
  they
• 8:51
  should
• 8:51
  be
• 8:51
  getting
• 8:51
  a
• 8:52
  scrimmage
• 8:52
  game.
• 8:52
  You
• 8:52
  know,
• 8:53
  who
• 8:53
  knows
• 8:53
  what
• 8:53
  they're
• 8:53
  going
• 8:53
  to
• 8:53
  be
• 8:53
  doing
• 8:54
  to
• 8:54
  do
• 8:54
  this,
• 8:55
  having
• 8:55
  that
• 8:55
  two
• 8:55
  week
• 8:56
  layoff.
• 8:56
  And
• 8:56
  maybe
• 8:56
  that's
• 8:57
  not
• 8:57
  the
• 8:57
  case.
• 8:57
  Maybe
• 8:57
  the
• 8:58
  teams
• 8:58
  are
• 8:58
  just
• 8:59
  that
• 8:59
  competitive
• 9:00
  and
• 9:01
  maybe
• 9:02
  the
• 9:02
  rankings
• 9:02
  are
• 9:03
  poorly
• 9:03
  done
• 9:04
  that
• 9:05
  you
• 9:05
  just
• 9:05
  don't
• 9:05
  know
• 9:05
  who
• 9:06
  the
• 9:06
  better
• 9:06
  team
• 9:06
  is
• 9:07
  until
• 9:07
  you
• 9:07
  get
• 9:07
  on
• 9:08
  the
• 9:08
  field
• 9:08
  and
• 9:08
  play
• 9:09
  the
• 9:09
  game.
• 9:10
  So
• 9:11
  fascinating
• 9:12
  study
• 9:12
  to
• 9:12
  look
• 9:12
  at
• 9:12
  and
• 9:13
  something
• 9:13
  we'll
• 9:13
  have
• 9:13
  to
• 9:13
  watch
• 9:13
  in
• 9:14
  the
• 9:14
  future.
• 9:14
  But
• 9:15
  just
• 9:15
  a
• 9:15
  couple
• 9:15
  things
• 9:15
  for
• 9:16
  college
• 9:16
  football
• 9:16
  playoffs
• 9:17
  I
• 9:17
  thought
• 9:17
  maybe
• 9:17
  it
• 9:17
  would
• 9:18
  be
• 9:18
  historically
• 9:19
  relevant
• 9:20
  to
• 9:20
  talk
• 9:20
  about
• 9:20
