  Speaker 1: Back to the Craig Way Show. Connect with Craig through
• 0:12
  the text line by text Team Texas to eight one
• 0:15
  five three zero, followed by your message. Standard message and
• 0:18
  data rates may apply.
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: They're in the top of the third in that American
• 0:26
  League Division Series Game two in Cleveland where the Guardians,
• 0:30
  who won Game one over the Tigers seven and nothing,
• 0:34
  are scoreless. Cleveland and Detroit. Are you you ever still
• 0:38
  occasionally anyway have difficulty remember Guardians?
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: Yes, I mean last segment, I was probably about this
• 0:45
  close to call them the Indians. Gene Watson called them
• 0:47
  the Indians last week.
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Oh, here, we'll see if he does it again,
• 0:51
  he'll join us for fifty.
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: I almost want to call him spiders because I wanted
• 0:55
  them to be named the Cleveland.
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: Spiders should have been Spiders, and and it really would
• 1:01
  have been a thing of symmetry, since they had the
• 1:06
  worst record in baseball and fewest wins percentage wise, and
• 1:10
  all of that until the White Sox this year. Now,
• 1:14
  the White Sox got more wins, ended up with more wins.
• 1:17
  They ended up forty one and one twenty one, so
• 1:22
  they ended up with more losses than the sixty two
• 1:26
  Mets or losses, but more wins because they played two
• 1:30
  more games because the Mets had two reinouts. And that
• 1:33
  was the expansion here for the Mets and the Socks went.
• 1:37
  In eighteen ninety nine, the Cleveland Spiders, in a one
• 1:40
  hundred and fifty four game schedule, won twenty games. They
• 1:44
  were twenty and one thirty four. Now, there are those
• 1:49
  who say that that's not really modern era baseball that
• 1:52
  started after nineteen hundred. Maybe it is. Maybe I don't know,
• 1:56
  but it's It was the worst winning percentage for a
• 2:00
  full season in that won one hundred and fifty four
• 2:02
  games and in a one hundred and sixty two game schedule,
• 2:04
  the White Sox lost the most games, won the second
• 2:08
  fewest games. The Mets at the fewest wins. They had
• 2:10
  forty went forty and one to twenty. But it would
• 2:14
  have been cool, but they're the Guardians and it is
• 2:18
  scoreless in the top of the second in that one.
• 2:20
  All right, what were some of the LSE wanted to
• 2:23
  get to here with regard to college football? Now, I
• 2:25
  mentioned the rankings, how Texas was number one again.
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: In the.
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: In the Power in the polls, but they are not
• 2:37
  number one in the Power rankings. ESPN's latest college football
• 2:41
  Power rankings came out and Ohio State is number one.
• 2:45
  Texas isn't even number two. That's Oregon. So and if
• 2:51
  you say, well, it's because a game day is going
• 2:53
  to be out there and they wanted that for their matchup.
• 2:55
  Remember that game is not an ABC slash ESPN Family telecast.
• 3:06
  I don't know it's either CBS or NBC because both
• 3:08
  have big ten. I hadn't checked, but it's not. Is
• 3:12
  it a prime time NBC game or is it an
• 3:15
  afternoon CBS game or a prime time CBS game? Scrolling
• 3:21
  scrolling NBC NBC? Okay, Jason Garrett and Jack I'm just kidding.
• 3:28
  Is Jack collins Worth calling it? I don't think so. No,
• 3:30
  it's it's Paul Burmeister. I think who does it? So anyway,
• 3:36
  Oregon is number two Ohios. These are the power rankings
• 3:41
  according to ESPN their college Football Power Rankings. Texas is
• 3:46
  number three and their comment was the long worns on
• 3:50
  a BI sat back and watched college football burn this weekend.
• 3:54
  As an Alabama team that bypassed them from the top
• 3:56
  ranking last week lost to Vanderbilt. You can be sure
• 3:58
  that Steve Sarkeashan will use that as a reminder this week,
• 4:01
  not the Texas needs any motivation. Yeah, right there, that's
• 4:04
  an important thing to remember. It's headed to Dallas to
• 4:07
  face Oklahoma for the first SEC version of one of
• 4:09
  the best rivalry games in college football and arguably the
• 4:12
  best setting in the middle of the state Fair of Texas.
• 4:15
  The long run should have Quinn Yewers back after a
• 4:17
  week of rest. That was pretty much what sar Kid
• 4:21
  said if they were doing it now. Penn State is
• 4:23
  number four in the power rankings, Georgia five, Miami six,
• 4:26
  Alabama seven, Clemson eight, Tennessee nine, and Iowa State ten.
• 4:30
  Those are the power rankings according to ESPN. Now the
• 4:36
  other thing, and only because quite often I'm just whatever
• 4:41
  a glutton for minutia and do this from time to time.
• 4:46
  The Athletic which I think has some of the best
• 4:48
  writers covering college and pro sports in the business, and
• 4:55
  has let me use a radio term, the ban with
• 5:01
  to be able to do the deep dive on lots
• 5:05
  of different things. One of the things they do every
• 5:08
  week I love this is they rank all one hundred
• 5:12
  and thirty four college football teams. They do this every
• 5:15
  week there used to be a feature, and then it
• 5:18
  went away for a long time. Then it got resurrected.
• 5:20
  I haven't seen it lately, and I have to look
• 5:22
  at it. Used to be a syndicated column. I used
• 5:24
  to read it in the newspapers in the days when
• 5:26
  you actually would hold the newspaper in your hand and
• 5:28
  read it called the Bottom ten, and it would be
• 5:33
  kind of an irreverent look at the worst teams in
• 5:36
  Division one college football. But if it always kind of
• 5:39
  had like a punchline or this or that, this kind
• 5:41
  of falls along those same lines, especially as you get
• 5:45
  deep down further into the one thirty four. But they
• 5:49
  rank it's a weekly ranking of all FBS college football teams,
• 5:57
  and they they point out that four top ten teams lost.
• 6:02
  Remember there were five in the top eleven. So it
• 6:07
  goes on and on and then and then they get
• 6:09
  into it. So here's their top ten. They do have
• 6:11
  Texas number one, Ohio State two, Alabama third. They only
• 6:17
  dropped them two spots after the loss to Vanderbilt. Georgia four,
• 6:20
  Oregon five, Penn State six, Miami seven, BYU eight, Tennessee nine,
• 6:26
  and Clemson ten. They say Texas slides up to the
• 6:28
  number one after Alabama's lost. But the long Orne won't
• 6:30
  have it easy with Oklahoma and Georgia over the next
• 6:33
  two weeks. And then they go on with some other things. Okay,
• 6:36
  and they said, we've got Ohio State Oregon this week,
• 6:40
  so get ready for another shake up at the top
• 6:42
  second ten eleven through or actually the second fifteen eleven
• 6:48
  through twenty five. Iowa State is eleven, Kansas State twelve.

• 6:56
  miss SMU, Boise State, Missouri, LSU to finish the top twenty.

  Then it's Utah, Oklahoma twenty two, Navy, Illinois, and Michigan. Okay,

• 7:30
