We had our we did the SEC last week. It performed well. TikTok was well. And we decided, you know what? Let's do a conference that we're all pretty much equally like Well no, not just kidding. We don't know shit about the Big Twelve. I mean This one's gonna be worse This one's gonna be a rough this is gonna be worse than it was last week. I mean obviously the Big Twelve is pretty much an even conference all around. There I don't think there's gonna be any like dumpster fire teams in this conference. Maybe like last year. They did. They did, but they completely like revamped the the entire roster. So we'll see what happens. But now you look at the comments right now. Yeah, so for context, Isaac's left, Jack's middle, and I'm right. This guy said left is an idiot. Actually looking at middle dude, don't know shit. Yeah, hey, you. that guy. Left dude knows ball. Bro, Charlie says says the bear fan. Who's a bear fan? Right dude is the only one with correct opinion. I like that comment. You a mongoloid. wait, left left dude knows ball. Michael Hamilton. yeah, there was there was a guy who said left dude no ball. And then another guy said holy ol miss bias, which like ol miss, I only put ol miss on one thing. Jack had olmiss for three things. Isaac had it for none. Bro, somebody's username is Republicism. Republicism. And they had Stupid. Yeah, no, yeah, they said thank you. Yeah, that's funny. But yeah, so obviously you guys gave us some positive feedback on on our episode last year. We love the love. We love the love, keep it up. we are obviously doing the big twelve. Don't know shit, so don't expect anything special from this episode. Just four guys just talking about a conference that's gonna be decently decently even around yes. This year. No have one c playoff team in this conference. There could easily be two. Yeah, Kansas and All right. Well no, don't name them yes. yeah, no beaman. Don't name them yet. I like Baylor of the year. But we're gonna keep the same categories. We got the best team, worst team, surprise team, wildcard team, most disappointing team, coach of the year, title game, and champion and player of the year. So same format as last week. Yeah. hell. We have one more host. We got one more host to join us this week. So welcome back, Caden. Yeah, bro, last week must have been pretty tough without me, huh? Yeah, yep. All right. So let's in honor of Alex coming back, let's start with let's start with him. Alex, who is your best team going into the twenty twenty six, twenty seventh football season, college football season? yeah. You know, it's hard to it's between BYU and Texas Tech for me. both those teams had really good seasons last year with and then Obviously BYU gets bare bear back at quarterback. But I feel like BYU has a slight edge even though they they did lose a lot of production. I I I think they lost a lot of production. They lost their defensive coordinator to Michigan, but I think they do still have like a a bunch of pieces. Plus they Yeah, they have bear back, so I'm going BYU. You're going BYU is your best. I knew he's good. He loves BYU. Bro. What? No. Man, I'll go second. I'm thinking BYU too. Solely because of Bears. Yeah, I think you, bro. I'm a Bears fan. I'm saying Texas Texas. Obviously. Texas Technically. All right, I guess we'll find out at the end of the year, but when Texas Tech wins a conference again, I guess we'll be sitting here right here. Well I told you back. Watch what BYU happened. I told you back in the bought quarterback. Will Hammond, man. Watch BYU. Hammond. Well Will Hammond, yeah. I I went Texas Tech as well. All right. They don't they don't need Brendan Sorsby. They they got Will Hammond. He's just gotta stay healthy and I think they'll be just fine. Stephen Hawking back there and they could win, right? They probably could. They got enough. They have doubt it. Dude, Texas Tech is the best roster like all around, like on paper in the Big Twelve. So I I g I like the BYU. Paper don't mean shit. I I obviously says green paper. I I like the I like the BYU. You weren't even green paper. You were not defending all miss like Green paper Benjamin's on it. That's what matters. I literally said BYU's not a bad pick. I'm just saying I went with Texas Tech is on paper. Crazy as hell. All right, bro. I like BYU, but not the best team. Man, we just started this splish, bruh. Wait until I say my worst team. All right. Texas Tex. All right. Alex Start us off with the worst team. Yeah, Texas No shiz. I know who I'm picking. Worst team that I'm gonna pick for the big twelve. I I mean it's I love the I love my Jayhawks, but I'm gonna put Kansas there. They don't have any of the any of the OGs like Jaden Daniel J Jalen Daniels, some other receiver, a running back. No. I used to new know all the names, but now I don't. But I'm gonna put Kansas here, unfortunately. I think they're a struggle. Alex goes with K the Jayhawks. Caleb, how are you go? I'm between like I'm between like three schools. I think I'm probably gonna go with I'm probably gonna go with I think so, no. I think I'm gonna rock Kahlo. Colorado is your worst team? Yeah. I just feel like they have no more aura as a program anymore. And I just don't think compared to the rest of the big twelve, like I'm looking at Colorado compared to these other teams. The only other one that I think is as bad as them is probably Kansas. Yeah. So I think just to be different and also like I've never really been a believer in Dion, even with all the talent that they supposedly had, like they obviously said they obviously had Shadur, Travis Hunter, like they had a really electrify Yeah, they had a really electrifying offense with those two and you know, what did that get them? A seven win season? They went like I don't even think they got seven. I he's not even locked in, he doesn't even have ten does down. Okay. my God. my god's good. That was good. Sor sorry, Dion. That was good. That's terrible. I'm gonna go yeah, so I'm going Colorado for mine. I just don't think even when Dion does have talent, he's it hasn't led to to wins, so I don't think they can really compete. Alright, well I that brings it to my worst team. And unfortunately, as much as I want this team to be good like they were in past years, like 2018, 2019, I think UCF's gonna be the worst team in the conference this year. They got Scott Frost. My Knights. They're your knights. My Trojan Knights. I'm not really positive in how they're gonna perform this year. So I Yeah, n you know, I'm just not confident in them. I don't know a single player on that roster that like stands out to me, so I'm just gonna go with You gon see. Seriously, you're putting them you don't have any belief in Scott Frost doing the same thing he did there no years ago? I mean, his first game last year they almost lost to a FCS school. Wait, did he did he start wait, hold on. It takes time. It takes time. Wait, I thought he star is starting as head coach this year. No, it was last Yeah, Mackenzie Milton coached there last year too. Is he not there anymore? He's there too, he's still but Damn, we they suck now. Yeah, bro. It was yeah, it was something. But Jack, who's your worst team in the conference? Hey, wait, wait, wait one second. What'd UC UCF finish last year? five and seven? All right. Five and seven. Two and seven in conference, so yeah, that makes sense. I'm also gonna go with Colorado. shit. My boy. After the loss of Sanders boys, they ain't never been the same. And I just don't think the Dion's had enough time at Colorado to completely influence Greatness there. I can I can agree with that. I mean Colorado We're seeing players transfer out of Colorado and be still like top ten picks. I mean LSU's tackle, he just transferred from Colorado. He was a fat chud leaving Colorado. Now he's a he's a a unit of a of a man. Like damn, I don't know if you've seen the before and after pictures of the offseason, but these he looks like a stud. Positive reports out of camera. no. Yeah. To your point, like if you look at all the the comments and social media posts that they have about the Colorado's camp, like all of them are s like as small as they they they are coming out of high school. Yeah, they still look s yeah. They don't look like they're putting any muscle on. They don't look like they're getting any bigger or anything. They look like the smallest D one college football team in the nation. I mean, did you guys see the the strength coach try to hype up their team the other day. No. It's this girl. It's this girl and sh I didn't think she did terrible, but there's a bunch of people on Instagram being like this couldn't motivate me to take a shit or get off the couldn't even motivate me to drink a beer, man. Yeah, I get off the couple of that's kinda wild to me because I remember there was one like viral clip of Dion in his first or second year at Colorado and he's like laying the ground rules for fall camp and like No hoodies in class. Yeah, you're gonna sit you're gonna sit in the front of the class and like all All the comments are like, I believe in this dude. And he did, to be fair, change the program for a little bit. I just think they had like a couple bad losses that I really think kind of stuck with them long term and it they just haven't been able to recover. Like the Colorado State game from twenty twenty three. Was it that year? Travis Hunter got mossed at the in the end zone. Yeah. Like that that loss to me I think really derailed their season that year and ever since, like you Jack said, they just have not been the same. I feel like their defense has always been really bad too. I it was Stanford. Colorado won nine games that when Travis won the Heisman. They won nine games that year. It was the year after it was last season when they were out they were awful, I thought. I don't remember. Last season they went three and nine. Yeah. Well either way, I mean you guys are saying they look small. I still think their defense is probably the worst college out of any college game I've ever watched, Colorado's defense has to be the worst for sure I've ever seen. So Justin Fields. okay. Surprise team. We'll start with Jack this time. Won't make you go last anymore. Jack, who you who you feel? I have two teams that I'm thinking about right now. I got mine. Iowa State. Iowa State. Iowa State. So you're surprised after all they after all they've lost to Penn State. That's all right. Caught my eye. Iowa State. All right. No real reasoning. No real reason. No reasoning behind it. Just thought it'd be nice. okay, so I have two teams in I'm considering here. One of one of them is a podcast favorite that everybody loves. It's TCU. And But I I think my surprise team's gonna be Oklahoma State. I think Drew Mestermaker is a really good quarterback that they got out of I don't know, I think Marshall. Yeah, I I think the head coach from Marshall last year is also a pretty good coach. So I think Oklahoma State is gonna shock some people this year. They're gonna be a tough t team to play offensively and I don't know, I'm I'm excited to see what they could do. So I'm gonna go Oklahoma State. It's a good pick. Good pick. I feel like mine, I'm gonna say the same one I said the episode Isaac and I did. UCF is gonna be my surprise team. I d I am a believer in their co is it Scott Scott Frost. Scott Frost. I am a believer in Scott Frost, mainly because I'm a I'm believer of like history repeats itself. You know, Alex was saying like ten years ago they went twelve and and they won the American Conference or whatever conference they were in. and I'm gonna I'm gonna say like I'm not gonna say they're gonna make the college football playoff or anything, but I do think this team could make a bowl game and that would be very surprising for them, especially in this conference, which I would say in terms of their skill level as a team, it's pretty competitive down there in like the mid to bottom. So I'd be impressed if they pulled off an upset and made the made a bowl game. Realistically I think this entire conference is gonna be pretty competitive. I think it's pretty much they're all across the board, except like the top two teams. Yeah. So Well, you could put like you could put yeah. Alex. UCF. UCF up there. You can put UCF up there. I think I'm gonna do Utah. I think they they kinda in the same same boat as another team on this. Iowa State. They lost a they lost well, instead of players they lost a bunch of their coaches and some other players went to Michigan, but I think like having Kevin Damper Dampier stay Devin Dampier stay and having that roster somewhat put together, I think Utah would be just fine and be they're not gonna be great. They're not gonna be like playoff level, but they'll be a surprise, like pull off a big upset or something or maybe upset over the one of the bigger tubes. I can respect that. I mean I I mean I have Utah as my wild card team. So I feel like e even though they lost a lot from their program, I think the foundation that Kyle Whittingham left is still gonna like continue. Obviously I think Dan Pierre is a really good quarterback. He played well last year. He's got a it's part of the reason why I think Bryce Underwood's gonna succeed at Michigan because he's got the same kind of build and talent scheme as him. Bryce Hunderwood, maybe he's just he's just a little bit older. So I I I don't know. I think Dan Pierre is gonna put this team on his back and I think they're gonna they're gonna play tough defense and they're gonna be pretty explosive on offense. So I think Utah has a real chance to surprise a lot of people, but I also think since they lost a lot, I think they have a chance to really disappoint. So I'm gonna put them as my wild card team right now. Good. Yep. Hmm. Hmm. Huh. Hmm. What other categories are there again after Wildcard? there's most disappointing, Coach of the Year title game, champion and player year. All right. My wild card's gotta go here. I'm going Kansas State. And this is purely because we know they have the talent, they have the quarterback that can get it done. He didn't do it last year, which is unfortunate, but I like Avery Johnson. I like Kansas State as a school and I also really like their schedule. They avoid Texas Tech, BYU and Utah, I think. So that's the top three right now. In the Big Twelve, they avoid all of So not only do they not have to play them, they have a very favorable favorable schedule. so that makes this team pretty my pretty easy wild card pick. I think they could easily, you know, like maybe even sneak in to the big twelve title game if everything goes right for them and they win the games they're supposed to win. So pretty easy wild card pick for me there. Jack. come back to me. Alex? I'm going Oklahoma State here. I think the having yes, they have Drew Nestamaker and all the West was it West Texas, is that what the school is for the A? West Texas or Marshall. I think it was West Texas. But having all those players come in for Oklahoma State, it doesn't mean anything and a b better conference than what they were coming from. So it it's gonna be a s a tough task for Oklahoma State for sure. And I think they will be okay, but you know, there is also the the downside. of playing in a better competition seeing what the true colors of their coach and their their their def chart and team and stuff like that. Plus plus the coach shot armadillo yesterday, so hell yeah. So hell yeah I guess. Wild card pick right there. Jack Wild cards like could potentially win the conference. Yeah. It could be really good or it could be really bad. I'm gonna with University of Houston. All right. I don't think they lost too much in the draft. They're consistently a good team. They brought back a lot. I think they're ranked they're ranked in the top twenty-five, obviously, but they brought back a lot of their team from last year too. Like returning production, and they were pretty solid last year. Yeah. So I feel like that's a good pick. I'm just not sure. You never know with this conference. So the thing is that the big twelve, there's not like a it's kinda how like the Big Ten used to be. Like there you have your top two to three put teams of the year, and then you The yeah, the rest of the the rest of the league. The rest of the fleet. So you know, it's I mean Yes, the Big Twelve is a good ish conference. They have teams that it can beat. There's teams that could beat a Big Ten team. There I don't think well Texas Tech could be most big ten teams. Yeah, I would say that. I don't know about SEC though. I think Big Ten teams can beat Fa I don't know. The thing is I don't know I don't think if we're saying the Big Ten is the best conference and we're saying that Big Twelve teams can beat them, I don't think so. I think the I think there's some Big Twelve teams that could beat SEC teams. I don't know. We I mean we watched Texas Tech go into the playoffs against Oregon and get their dick skipped in. So Yeah. I think if we're talking like top fours and conferences, there's no way. There's no way Texas Tech is beating top four in the SEC before Big Ten. With that, yeah, I agree. they're not even beating the top one in the ACC, so you don't think they would beat Miami? No. Really? Nope. I don't think so. I mean I could see it being wanna argue with that. We're not here to talk about the AC button. I can see I can see them argue with them. I can see the I could see them having a close game though. I I hate Miami, but I would still I still s think they're gonna be better than The best team in the big twelve still. Now a team like Baylor, they don't have a chance. Most disappointing team. Am I still invited tomorrow? Got me flustered. Got me flustered. All right. Most disappointing team. Wait, yes, okay. I go first. I'm gonna do Arizona. Yeah. Wow. I don't know why. Don't be doing my boy Noah Fafita. Well, I think he I don't know. Maybe I won't do Arizona. I already have it, I'm already typing it. No, don't do that. So you're waiting for Don't do that. Don't do that. You can either add to it or you gotta keep it. You're either going Arizona or Arizona State 'cause we're only at Arizona State's not a bad picture. I do Arizona State is most disappointing. Most disappointing Arizona State. Yeah. that is good. I think they I mean, obviously they didn't have a really great season and now they lose Sam Levitt and a Now they don't have any stars like Scataboo or every st a really good receiver or anything like that. So, you know, I'm I'm going to Arizona State here, not because the coach is bad, but I think the roster isn't as good as it used to be. I agree. I I think I don't I don't think there's really anybody that sticks out to me on that side on that team. I think Kenny Dillingham's a good coach, but I think they're still a year away. So or a year or two away from being back where they were. top ten, top twelve team so I'm still surprised that he left though. Like why would you think I did leave? No, Levitt. Sam Levitt, yeah. L S U Mark. LCU came calling. He was a he didn't Levit at Arizona State. You funny Walker's Brandon Walker's a love us. I'm gonna say Baylor. Not for any crazy reasons, but I feel like football's better when Baylor's in the Big picture winning games and they just been really disappointing lately. Yeah. And DJ Lagway's not really gonna do that much anyway. I think all the hype around I think all the hype around DJ Lagway is gonna like kinda factor into this most disappointing pick. I don't think he's the five star quarterback that we all think he is. No. And I mean his freshman his freshman year was good, but then his sophomore year sucked. And I guess he's got an opportunity to put it together as junior, but I just I just don't see it happening at Baylor. So isn't Baylor's Head coach on the hot seat, anyways. Yeah, it's Dave Miranda. And he he was supposed they were supposed to be really good last year. I remember picking them against Auburn. I'm like, yeah, I think Baylor's a s a scary good team to pick play against week one. They can come out and get you, and then they just like lost by like two scores. Four and five. Yeah, by an Auburn team that wasn't good. So by the the golf the head coach had a gol tea time at Hugh Freeze, that damn that all right. Caleb, you wanna go? Yeah, I'll go. This team, they got off to a really good start last year. They were seven and one and ranked at one point. And then we saw the downfall week by week with Cincinnati. I think their fans and me included, I I'm a fan of the town of like Cincinnati. I think they're just it po poised for another like kind of disappointing year. I can see them getting off to another good start with their easy games, but once you get into big twelve play, I just they're like you've been saying about a lot of these teams, I just don't see anything that jumps out at me, especially without their star talent they had last year. Soresby was a big part of that team. Yeah. And you can try to replace it as best you can, but when you stack up against some of the other teams, like I could have said West Virginia for most disappointing. I don't think anyone thinks they're gonna do anything this year, so that's why I didn't pick them. Cincinnati though, just with how they started last year year I do think there's probably some hope within the program that they can do that and remain steady, but I just I I see them taking a step back and that's gonna be disappointing for them. Yeah, I I mean they weren't even that great with Brandon Sorsby at QB. It's just I don't see much happen. I'm gonna join you there too, Caleb. I don't really believe in Cincinnati. I think Yeah, they got nothing that much going for them, to be honest with you. I I I really I was really close to saying West Virginia as well. So is I so was I. Rich Rod. I was about to say that, but I think Rich Rod will turn it around this year. I think Rich Rod had a I think I have more hope in them than Cincinnati. It'll be six and six and Cincinnati will be five and seven. I think Cincinnati's gonna be worse. I think I think Cincinnati will be more like four and eight. Like like three win team. Damn. I don't know. I could see them only winning like two conference games. Yeah. Like a four win team. I believe that. okay. So that brings us to our Championship Coach of the Year. Coach of Year. So Kenny Didhing Dillingham. I'll give you guys God. I don't even know who I'm gonna put as my coach. I don't even know like too many coaches. I guess I'll start just a I'll be a captain going down the ship here, but Obviously I would say Texas Tex coach, but I don't think he's gonna win it back to back years. who's BYU's coach? That's what I'm gonna Yep, Kalani Sataki. I think I'm also doing him as well. I'm gonna go Kalani Sakaki. I think he's a great coach. You are. I think he's gonna have BYU rolling this year too. I don't I didn't think they were bad. Mark me down that way too. Yeah, him his bear. Him and a bear. How do you say how do you spell that? Kalani Sitake. Sit. Aki. Got it. Kind of like Alani Sataki. But with a K. Gotcha. We reaching now, bro. Alright. That was a good spelling, I think. That's a great spelling. I agree. Everybody I'm also saying Kalani Sataki. There it is. I'm gonna throw a wrench into this. You know, I was gonna go Texas Tex, but like you said, they're probably not gonna give it to him, what, three years in a row? Is what you said? Yeah. I like I like the idea of a team or a coach that's not in the top two getting it. And in terms of the idea of consistency, like Houston is a they've been a good team for a little bit now. I think this year, if they pull off an upset or two, there's a really good chance that Willie Fritz could win coach of the year for Houston. So that's gonna be kind of my like little dark horse coach of the year. Nice put me down for Willie Fritz too. No, you can't change it, you already wrote it. No, sorry, man. Sorry, but you're either adding to it or you sataki. All right. I'll all three of us are going to Kalani Sataki. So I guess we'll see who Caleb did have Texas Tech's coach is just gonna win it. Yeah, we're all wrong. okay. Title game. Who do you got? Texas Tech BYU. Same here. BYU Hurston. Really? Hurston Hurston. Jack Jack's going for the rage base. Yeah, Jack's going for the rage base comments. Everybody BYU O'Brien be the same, man. They still gonna have drip ass uniforms though. You see the ones that I came out with today? Mm. I like their all white ones. No, the Mahome ones. They have all white ones? Mm. Alex Damn. I kinda wanna do something different too, just for the graphic, because why not? I I do think BYU and Texas Tech are gonna meet in the championship game for for the episode's sake. I'm gonna say Texas Tech and Houston. But he's got BYU. Okay, I'll do BYU Utah. No. You're already I Is that genuinely what you think though? Imagine that rivalry meeting the I see the Texas Oklahoma. I know he did. I listened to you up on the way home for I did Texas Oklahoma for the the S E C championship. Jack, you said You said Houston. good D. Good d big ass corner. All right. So that brings us to the champion. Who's gonna win it? Who do you guys want? I'm gonna say Texas Tech. BYU. Yeah, killed them bad boys. Damn, those are those are fire. Alex said you said BYU. Yep. I think they get their get back to Caleb just yeah. BYU. I'm gonna roll with Texas Tech because I mean, obviously BYU got better, but I think Texas Tech also like as long as their quarterback stays healthy, I just still think they're the better team. And yeah, sure, BYU could quote unquote figure them out by then, but also it's like It's a toss-up game. I'm gonna go with Texas Tag, the better team on paper. Yep. Go with the safe pick. Yep. I feel I feel like that's half the country's gonna be saying that and then the the other half's gonna be seeing BYU's that. So I mean And then you I guess we'll see. Then you got like your point five percent that's saying like Arizona or Houston. Yeah, Houston, that those kind of teams. All right. Player of the year. I'm just gonna go out and say I'm gonna say Drew Mestermaker from Oklahoma Oklahoma State. I think he's gonna be ha have a great season. He's gonna put Oklahoma State on his back pretty much. Yep. I think they're gonna do some shit on offense that's gonna be pretty hard to beat. So Drew Mestermaker. And he's gonna be a a pretty high draft pick in next year's draft. You got Bear Bryant. Not Bear Bryant. Bear Bachenmeyer. Bear Bachenmeyer. I'm just gonna put Bear. I also got the bear. Jeez, I bunch of bear glazers here. I was I was gonna go bear as well, but I went with Marcel Reed for my SEC one, so I feel like I gotta keep up my You gotta keep your ball knowledge up. I gotta keep up my kind of random Player of the year picks. I don't know if they'd give it to I don't know if Bear's ready as a sophomore to get it quite yet. Like it's gonna be a lot of a lot of him running, maybe not s necessarily throwing it, and also you gotta give a lot of the credit to the team with Bear, I feel like. Let me go wait. you're not gonna already written down. Already written down. I was like do Dampier. Do Dampier. I I think I might just cause I do like Dylan Dampier. He absolutely caught Devin Devin Dampier. I like Devin too. Let's go with let's go with that and in in that wor in this world if it does happen, like Utah obviously is gonna have to do really well, pull off some upsets, they gotta make the championship game, but definitely could all happen. I like Devin Dampier as a as a kind of a dark horse pick here as well. Kind of like my coach of the year pick. I I think I think that's Actually like a good good pick there. I think all of our picks are pretty good. I don't even so none of you are gonna take the Harvard transfer at TCU? I mean I thought about it. You should have. You're crazy. But you go with the Marshall transfer at Oklahoma State. Yeah. That's gonna win five games this year. That might be reaching too. They aren't gonna wait. They're not gonna win more than five games this year. off. All right. I'm trying to find this damn number. I wanna do this shit. So all right, so Brandon Walker does a voice message segment in his show every week and I had the bright idea of trying to get our show more more just get it out in the country and see if he would even put our voicemail on there.
