- 1:43Speaker 1: You don't want to miss out, make sure and subscribe
- 1:46Speaker 1: to the Winning Cures Everything podcast. All right, we got
- 1:50Speaker 1: quite a bit to discuss today. We're going over some games.
- 1:52Speaker 1: We got a lot of bowl games that we are
- 1:53Speaker 1: going to be hitting. No, we are not opting out,
- 1:56Speaker 1: unlike some of the other college football teams that have
- 1:59Speaker 1: decided to do so. If there is football, we're gonna
- 2:01Speaker 1: be discussing it. So let's not waste a bunch of time.
- 2:05Speaker 6: Let's get into.
- 2:06Speaker 1: Game number one, two pm Central Time, God's time zone,
- 2:11Speaker 1: of course, on CBS. It's Army and Navy, this one
- 2:15Speaker 1: from Baltimore, Maryland. Navy a six and a half point
- 2:18Speaker 1: home favorite, home favorite total of thirty eight and a
- 2:21Speaker 1: half on this and let's go ahead and take a look,
- 2:26Speaker 1: shall we. Navy is two and four against the spread
- 2:30Speaker 1: at home minus one point eight, and Army five and
- 2:33Speaker 1: one against the spread on the road this year plus
- 2:36Speaker 1: four point eight. Navy is one and five against the
- 2:39Speaker 1: spread so far as a favorite, and this number has
- 2:44Speaker 1: gotten known up there. Six and a half, of course,
- 2:47Speaker 1: is the number. My projected stat spread has it by seven.
- 2:50Speaker 1: My power rating has Navy minus four. My last four
- 2:53Speaker 1: weeks actually has Army favored by a little over a touchdown,
- 2:58Speaker 1: kind of surprising. My projective first half spread is right
- 3:02Speaker 1: there along with it. Navy strength of record. I mean,
- 3:05Speaker 1: they're nine to two. It makes perfect sense. Army, of course,
- 3:09Speaker 1: they are six and five thus far on the year,
- 3:13Speaker 1: Navy three and seven against the spread overall, Army five
- 3:16Speaker 1: and six. The one I believe is for an FCS opponent,
- 3:20Speaker 1: or it could just mean a tie, but regardless, we
- 3:23Speaker 1: don't count ties on here. So Navy three and seven
- 3:25Speaker 1: against the spread.
- 3:27Speaker 6: Let's start off with Navy on offense.
- 3:30Speaker 1: They run the ball, but also they're pretty good at
- 3:33Speaker 1: throwing it, and Army's defense sucks number one oh three
- 3:36Speaker 1: in PPA allowed per drive. They are number one twenty
- 3:40Speaker 1: one in defensive success rate. They are number one twenty
- 3:42Speaker 1: two against the pass, number ninety seven against the rush,
- 3:45Speaker 1: so Navy should be able to move the football on
- 3:48Speaker 1: these guys. On the other side, it's kind of the
- 3:51Speaker 1: same thing. Navy is number one twenty seven in PPA
- 3:54Speaker 1: allowed per drive. They are number eighty one in defensive
- 3:56Speaker 1: success rate, number one oh four against the past, they're number
- 3:58Speaker 1: sixty against the rush.
- 4:00Speaker 6: Issue when you get into a.
- 4:01Speaker 1: Game like this is these two teams run incredibly similar styles.
- 4:07Speaker 6: The talent profile.
- 4:09Speaker 1: Is basically the exact same thing. I mean, you get
- 4:14Speaker 1: what you get. Last year it was thirty one to thirteen.
- 4:16Speaker 1: I believe I didn't write it down, but Navy put
- 4:21Speaker 1: a thumping on him pretty good last year. This year,
- 4:26Speaker 1: do we see the exact same thing. Navy number thirty
- 4:29Speaker 1: five in five Factors rank, Army number eighty six.
- 4:35Speaker 6: I worry about that.
- 4:37Speaker 1: Because I do think that Army, while not great, they're
- 4:42Speaker 1: certainly better in turnover margin number thirty five. They're number
- 4:44Speaker 1: one in penalties per game, Navy number eighty three in
- 4:47Speaker 1: pendlies per game. You don't typically see that from a
- 4:49Speaker 1: service academy. They are number sixty seven in turnover margin,
- 4:52Speaker 1: and the biggest problem for them is they cannot generate
- 4:55Speaker 1: turnovers number ninety three and takeaways per game. They are
- 4:59Speaker 1: really bad at aginst the pass. They're okay against the run,
- 5:03Speaker 1: number sixty six in yards allowed per rush, and Army's
- 5:06Speaker 1: offense while they do run at eighty five percent of
- 5:09Speaker 1: the time, they're only number eighty three in rushing success rate,
- 5:12Speaker 1: number one twenty one in rushing explosive or one thirty
- 5:15Speaker 1: one excuse me, in rushing explosiveness. But there are number
- 5:19Speaker 1: seven in stuff rate, number sixty three in offensive lineyards.
- 5:21Speaker 1: So the offense not nearly as good as what Navy
- 5:25Speaker 1: brings to the table with quarterback Blake Horvath number.
- 5:28Speaker 6: Fourteen and PPA per pass.
- 5:30Speaker 1: Now granted they only throw the ball less than twenty
- 5:34Speaker 1: three percent of the time, but Navy number three in
- 5:38Speaker 1: PPA per rush, number two in yards per rush, number
- 5:41Speaker 1: three in rushing success rate, number three in offensive.
- 5:43Speaker 6: Line yards, et cetera.
- 5:45Speaker 1: Army not fully equipped to be able to deal with
- 5:50Speaker 1: something like this. Navy is number thirty four in points
- 5:53Speaker 1: per scoring opportunity, Army's defense number seventy four. On the
- 5:57Speaker 1: other side, Army is number nine in points for scoring
- 6:01Speaker 1: opportunity and Navy's defense is number one twenty, but Army
- 6:03Speaker 1: doesn't exactly get down there very often. Army is not
- 6:07Speaker 1: great at sustaining drives, I'll say, and on top of that,
- 6:11Speaker 1: they're not really good at finishing drives. Navy, on the
- 6:16Speaker 1: other hand, pretty good at that. So if he comes
- 6:19Speaker 1: down to who do I think has the more clutched gene,
- 6:24Speaker 1: I think it's Navy, and I think the number is
- 6:27Speaker 1: kind of right dead on. Last year we saw this
- 6:31Speaker 1: Navy team that was significantly more talented kind of handle Army.
- 6:37Speaker 1: I kind of look for them to do the exact
- 6:39Speaker 1: same thing here. I don't think Army is gonna put
- 6:40Speaker 1: up a lot of points here.
- 6:42Speaker 6: And you know it's not that I'm expecting to points
- 6:46Speaker 6: in this game. I mean the.
- 6:46Speaker 1: Undergoes over frequently. The total here is thirty eight and
- 6:49Speaker 1: a half. It would have gone over that last year.
- 6:53Speaker 1: I'm not suggesting that you've taken over, but I would
- 6:57Speaker 1: suggest that Navy is probably and I know that my
- 7:01Speaker 1: power rating and my last four says something different, but
- 7:05Speaker 1: Navy minus seven here, This thing is on the other
- 7:08Speaker 1: side of a key number. Typically I like taking dogs.
- 7:12Speaker 6: Not in this instance.
- 7:14Speaker 1: I think Horvath and company are just a significantly better
- 7:17Speaker 1: team overall. I think they're gonna put up points. I
- 7:20Speaker 1: think it's gonna be hard for Army to keep up.
- 7:23Speaker 1: I'm looking for a double digit win for Navy here,
- 7:25Speaker 1: so I will take the Midshipman minus the six and
- 7:28Speaker 1: a half. Saturday night, seven pm Central Time, God's time
- 7:32Speaker 1: Zone on ABC, this one after after I believe the
- 7:37Speaker 1: Heisman Trophy ceremony.
- 7:39Speaker 6: It is the Bucked Up LA.
- 7:41Speaker 1: Bowl, presented by Gronk. I don't know why we're still
- 7:45Speaker 1: doing that. It's in Los Angeles, California, Boise State playing
- 7:49Speaker 1: against Washington. Washington a nine and a half point favorite
- 7:52Speaker 1: total of fifty two and a half on this and
- 7:54Speaker 1: that is up from the eight and a half that
- 7:56Speaker 1: was when I generate the generated these sheets the other night.
- 8:00Speaker 1: Washington power rated by seven here last four weeks Washington
- 8:04Speaker 1: by eleven point four, and my projected stat spread has
- 8:08Speaker 1: Washington by ten point six y three.
- 8:11Speaker 6: So let's get into it.
- 8:13Speaker 1: Let's see, uh, Boise is zero and three against the
- 8:17Speaker 1: spread in their last three bowl games. In every bowl
- 8:20Speaker 1: game since twenty twenty they didn't play in a couple
- 8:23Speaker 1: of those. They are minus seven there, Washington two and
- 8:27Speaker 1: two against the spread. Since twenty twenty, they are plus
- 8:30Speaker 1: point four in their bowl games. Jedfish staying at Washington.
- 8:36Speaker 1: He did not take the Florida job. Kind of surprised
- 8:39Speaker 1: by that. I really thought he was going to be
- 8:41Speaker 1: the guy uh to take it. But I mean, absolutely
- 8:44Speaker 1: fantastic recruiting job that he's done.
- 8:46Speaker 6: They are building a.
- 8:47Speaker 1: Great roster, and Washington looked pretty good for most of
- 8:52Speaker 1: the year. They did not look good against Oregon to
- 8:54Speaker 1: close out the year, but nobody other than Indiana looks
- 8:57Speaker 1: really good against Oregon. So Washington number thirty eight in
- 9:00Speaker 1: strength of schedule, Bois number seventy three, and Boise will
- 9:04Speaker 1: have their quarterback.
- 9:05Speaker 6: Everything looks good there, but.
- 9:06Speaker 1: The offense is still kind of eh. Boise was able
- 9:11Speaker 1: to run the football on UNLV when they got wins
- 9:16Speaker 1: this year, it was because they were able to bully
- 9:18Speaker 1: teams in the trenches. I don't think you're gonna be
- 9:20Speaker 1: able to do that against Washington. Although you know, Washington
- 9:24Speaker 1: really good against the run, number thirteen and ppa allowed
- 9:26Speaker 1: per rush, number nineteen in the yards allowed per rush,
- 9:28Speaker 1: but there are number fifty four and offensive line yards
- 9:30Speaker 1: allowed number ninety two in stuff rate allowed. Boise, you know,
- 9:36Speaker 1: number fifty two in offensive line yards, number fifty in
- 9:38Speaker 1: stuff rate. Maybe they can get a little bit of
- 9:41Speaker 1: a push here. I'm not fully expecting it, but regardless
- 9:46Speaker 1: is what it is. On this can Boise finish drives.
- 9:49Speaker 1: They are number fifty nine in points per scoring opportunity.
- 9:51Speaker 1: They are number nineteen in scoring opportunities per game, so
- 9:54Speaker 1: almost seven drives per game. Do they get a first
- 9:57Speaker 1: down inside the opponent forty? Washington number forty seven in
- 10:00Speaker 1: scoring opportunities per game, but they are number twenty seven
- 10:03Speaker 1: in points allowed a per scoring opportunity per game. So
- 10:06Speaker 1: this Washington defense is pretty good, pretty good. On the
- 10:11Speaker 1: other side, the Washington offense really good. Boise's defense is
- 10:16Speaker 1: number one oh seven in points allowed per scoring opportunity.
- 10:19Speaker 1: Washington is number eighteen. Jed Fish and company know how
- 10:23Speaker 1: to finish drives. Demand Williams, he's gonna play. He's coming
- 10:27Speaker 1: back to school next year. Don't think we've got a
- 10:29Speaker 1: whole lot to worry about as far as people sitting
- 10:31Speaker 1: out this game. There may be a few opt outs
- 10:34Speaker 1: here and there, but regardless from what I've seen, we
- 10:40Speaker 1: got rosters.
- 10:40Speaker 6: We're good to go.
- 10:42Speaker 1: Washington is immensely more talented overall than Boisse number twenty
- 10:46Speaker 1: seven in overall talent rank, Bois number eighty. And the
- 10:51Speaker 1: defense for Boise good against the pass. The issue for
- 10:55Speaker 1: them is that Washington is number seventy nine in pass
- 10:58Speaker 1: rate in the country. Boise is number one twenty four
- 11:02Speaker 1: in PPA allowed per rush, Washington's offense number nine, Boisse
- 11:06Speaker 1: number one sixteen in yards allowed per rush, Washington's offense
- 11:10Speaker 1: number forty four. There's just a really big difference here.
- 11:14Speaker 1: And when you look at explosiveness, Washington number twenty five
- 11:17Speaker 1: in rushing explosiveness, Bois number one twenty in rushing explosiveness allowed.
- 11:21Speaker 1: I think that Washington is going to be able to
- 11:24Speaker 1: do some things, especially when they use Williams as a rusher,
- 11:27Speaker 1: which they might not do a ton, but it I
- 11:30Speaker 1: think it's gonna be enough. Nine and a half is
- 11:34Speaker 1: the I mean, it's going in the right direction. Washington
- 11:36Speaker 1: minus eight and a half is what I had it
- 11:38Speaker 1: at and now it's Washington minus.
- 11:41Speaker 6: Nine and a half.
- 11:41Speaker 1: It's still under that key number of ten. Washington just
- 11:45Speaker 1: a much.
- 11:46Speaker 6: Better football team overall.
- 11:50Speaker 1: I think they're gonna handle business, and I think they
- 11:52Speaker 1: will use this as a way to jump into next season.
- 11:57Speaker 6: They are eight and four. They are.
- 12:01Speaker 1: Looking for that ninth win, and Boise already has their
- 12:04Speaker 1: ninth win. They are nine to four, but that is
- 12:06Speaker 1: Againstate Mountain West schedule. Washington I think has a chance
- 12:11Speaker 1: to compete in the Big Ten next year. We'll see
- 12:15Speaker 1: how they do with travel and whatnot. But as far
- 12:17Speaker 1: as this game is concerned, this Boise team is not
- 12:20Speaker 1: the same team that made the playoff last year. I
- 12:24Speaker 1: think they're gonna have trouble here. Give me Washington minus
- 12:26Speaker 1: nine and a half. The is four s salute to
- 12:34Speaker 1: Veterans Bowl in Montgomery, Alabama, and you got two Alabama
- 12:38Speaker 1: teams in Troy and Jacksonville State. This one eight pm
- 12:42Speaker 1: Central Time on ESPN on Tuesday, December sixteenth. Troy a
- 12:47Speaker 1: three and a half point favorite with a total of
- 12:49Speaker 1: forty six and a half on this one, and looking
- 12:52Speaker 1: at the bowl spread records, both.
- 12:56Speaker 6: Are one and one.
- 12:58Speaker 1: Troy plus one and a half Jacksonville State minus two
- 13:01Speaker 1: point three. Excuse me, Troy minus two point three Jacksonville
- 13:06Speaker 1: State plus one and a half. The only issue that
- 13:11Speaker 1: we've really got here is that Jacksonville State does not
- 13:13Speaker 1: exactly measure up with Troy when it comes to talent. Now,
- 13:17Speaker 1: it's not that it's not that Troy is significantly more talented.
- 13:21Speaker 1: They're number eighty eight in overall talent rank at on three,
- 13:24Speaker 1: Jacksonville State is number one oh five. But when you
- 13:27Speaker 1: start diving into position groups, Jacksonville State number one thirty.
- 13:32Speaker 6: Five in offensive line.
- 13:34Speaker 1: As far as the position ranking goes, Troy's defensive line
- 13:37Speaker 1: number ninety eight, Troy number seventy seven in offensive line,
- 13:41Speaker 1: number one oh one in opponent defensive line for Jacksonville State.
- 13:45Speaker 1: I I will tell you this, Jacksonville State's running back fantastic,
- 13:50Speaker 1: absolutely fantastic. They are number sixteen in PPA per rush,
- 13:54Speaker 1: number thirteen in yards per rush, number twenty three in
- 13:56Speaker 1: rushing success rate. Troy's defense number eighty two, number one
- 13:59Speaker 1: oh three, number sixty three in those metrics. That's where
- 14:03Speaker 1: Jacksonville State is going to have some success here. This
- 14:08Speaker 1: number was at four, it's down to three and a half.
- 14:10Speaker 6: Now.
- 14:13Speaker 1: Troy, I do think, is more talented along the lines
- 14:17Speaker 1: of scrimmage. They've got some more weight, they got some
- 14:20Speaker 1: bigger bodies. It's just a better overall football team. The
- 14:25Speaker 1: issue is that Troy without Goose Crowder. I mean the
- 14:29Speaker 1: ankle gone in that Sunbelt Championship game just and they
- 14:35Speaker 1: were hanging in that game with James Madison as well.
- 14:38Speaker 6: I don't know.
- 14:40Speaker 1: What to expect now with the backup quarterback coming in again,
- 14:44Speaker 1: because Troy was not good with that backup quarterback defense
- 14:48Speaker 1: pretty good against the pass, You're not gonna have to
- 14:50Speaker 1: worry about that a whole lot with Jacksonville State. They
- 14:52Speaker 1: throw the ball less than thirty five percent of the time.
- 14:54Speaker 1: It's number one twenty nine and pass rate. Jacksonville State
- 14:57Speaker 1: is number sixty three in points per scoring our oportunity,
- 15:00Speaker 1: Troy is number twenty nine.
- 15:03Speaker 6: Difference here, of course, being that.
- 15:09Speaker 1: I think Jacksonville State's going to be able to do
- 15:10Speaker 1: whatever they want to run the football against Troy's defense.
- 15:13Speaker 1: On the other side, Troy is not good at anything
- 15:17Speaker 1: on offense. They're abysmal running the football. Number one thirty
- 15:22Speaker 1: two in yards per rush, number one twenty four in
- 15:24Speaker 1: PPA per rush, number one fifteen, and rushing success rate.
- 15:27Speaker 1: It's not that Jacksonville State's good, they're perfectly mediocre. Number
- 15:32Speaker 1: seventy eight in PPA allowed for rush, number sixty one
- 15:34Speaker 1: in yards allowed for rush, Number seventy eight and rushing
- 15:36Speaker 1: success rate, and they're pretty good as far as offensive
- 15:39Speaker 1: line yards allowed, number thirty three. There, Troy is number
- 15:43Speaker 1: sixty two in points per scoring opportunity, but Jacksonville State
- 15:47Speaker 1: number ninety five. On the other side of that is
- 15:51Speaker 1: the fact that Troy doesn't get down there very often,
- 15:53Speaker 1: number one twenty three in scoring opportunities per game. Jacksonville
- 15:56Speaker 1: State is number forty six, so they don't allow a
- 15:59Speaker 1: lot of drives for the to get a first down
- 16:00Speaker 1: inside their forty Jacksonville State number sixty two, and five
- 16:04Speaker 1: factors rank Troy number seventy six. This feels like a
- 16:11Speaker 1: field goal game. And Troy with the backup quarterback, I
- 16:17Speaker 1: don't know what to make of it. Jacksonville State is
- 16:19Speaker 1: number one thirty six and current strength to schedule Troy
- 16:21Speaker 1: number ninety six, but again with the backup quarterback, and
- 16:26Speaker 1: you don't know exactly where the motivations lie. Like Gerard
- 16:29Speaker 1: Parker had a good season this year. Eight and five
- 16:32Speaker 1: is really good, but also you know, Charles Kelly and company,
- 16:36Speaker 1: eight and five is fantastic for them.
- 16:40Speaker 6: This is a rivalry rivalry.
- 16:43Speaker 1: I mean, these are not exactly teams that play all
- 16:45Speaker 1: that often, but they are both from Alabama. They're playing
- 16:47Speaker 1: a bowl game in Alabama. I think you're gonna see
- 16:48Speaker 1: a pretty good crowd. I think this is a field
- 16:53Speaker 1: goal kind of game. So in this instance, even though
- 16:55Speaker 1: Jacksonville State is the less talented team, they do the
- 16:59Speaker 1: one thing on offense that Troy is not good at defending.
- 17:03Speaker 6: I think we can see an upset.
- 17:04Speaker 1: I'll take Jacksonville State plus three and a half. Are

- 19:32Speaker 6: All Right.
- 19:32Speaker 1: College Football Playoff Round one. This one in Norman, Oklahoma,
- 19:37Speaker 1: on Friday, December the nineteenth, the Oklahoma Sooners hosting.
- 19:41Speaker 6: The Alabama Crimson Tide. And yes, we have already.
- 19:43Speaker 1: Seen this game once this season, just like we saw
- 19:46Speaker 1: Georgia and Alabama. Alabama wins in Athens, Georgia wins in Atlanta.
- 19:52Speaker 1: Completely different games depending on who actually plays in the games. Right,
- 19:57Speaker 1: Alabama has a couple of weeks.
- 19:58Speaker 6: To get healthy.
- 19:59Speaker 1: They should have have a large contingency of the injured
- 20:02Speaker 1: players that were out for the SEC Championship game. They
- 20:05Speaker 1: should be back for this game. In the first game
- 20:08Speaker 1: between Alabama and Oklahoma, Oklahoma win won twenty three to
- 20:11Speaker 1: twenty one in Tuscalousa. This one, of course taking place
- 20:13Speaker 1: in Norman, and Alabama had like a two hundred yards
- 20:20Speaker 1: excuse me, a two hundred yard.
- 20:22Speaker 6: Advantage in that ball game.
- 20:24Speaker 1: But they lost the turnover battle three to nothing, and
- 20:28Speaker 1: they lost the special teams battle, they lost the field
- 20:30Speaker 1: position battle.
- 20:30Speaker 6: They I mean, there were.
- 20:32Speaker 1: Several things, but Alabama showed that they could drive the
- 20:36Speaker 1: ball on this Oklahoma defense. And that is the big
- 20:38Speaker 1: thing about Oklahoma. They are number four and PPA allowed
- 20:41Speaker 1: per drive the Oklahoma offense. Nothing to right home about
- 20:45Speaker 1: number ninety seven there. So as far as PPA margin
- 20:48Speaker 1: that's predicted points added, they are number twenty seven. Alabama
- 20:51Speaker 1: is number twenty. They're number twenty six on offense, number
- 20:53Speaker 1: nineteen on defense. Pretty balanced team overall when you really
- 20:58Speaker 1: look at it. Bama pretty good against the run. I
- 21:04Speaker 1: don't think he got anything to worry about with Oklahoma
- 21:06Speaker 1: running the football. John Matier can escape the pocket some,
- 21:11Speaker 1: but when he does interesting things happen, it's gonna be
- 21:16Speaker 1: either something explosive or it could end up being a
- 21:23Speaker 1: turnover and Oklahoma has gotten better as far as their
- 21:26Speaker 1: turnover margin, but they are still number eighty one in
- 21:29Speaker 1: that they are number sixty nine and giveaways per game
- 21:31Speaker 1: number ninety four and takeaways per game. Probably should have
- 21:34Speaker 1: lost the game to LSU, but they found a way
- 21:37Speaker 1: to win it. The defense did just enough and once
- 21:41Speaker 1: if you only give up thirteen points, then all you
- 21:44Speaker 1: need is a couple of big plays, and that's what
- 21:46Speaker 1: they can get out of Jometier. So you look at
- 21:50Speaker 1: the offense, there's nothing to write home about here. Not
- 21:53Speaker 1: great throwing the football number eighty one and QBR number
- 21:55Speaker 1: seventy two in yards per attempt, rushing the football number
- 21:57Speaker 1: ninety one or sorry, number one oh eight, yards per
- 22:00Speaker 1: rush number one oh six, and rushing success rate. Alabama's
- 22:03Speaker 1: defense all year long, they have been good enough to
- 22:07Speaker 1: defend that kind of stuff. So Alabama's defense again number
- 22:11Speaker 1: nineteen and PBA allowed for drive number seventeen in defensive
- 22:13Speaker 1: success rate, number thirty one against the pass, number seventeen
- 22:16Speaker 1: against the rush. Oklahoma number sixty six in points per
- 22:20Speaker 1: scoring opportunity, but there are only number eighty five in
- 22:23Speaker 1: scoring opportunities per game. That's first downs inside the opponent forty.
- 22:28Speaker 1: Alabama is number thirty seven in points allowed per scoring opportunity,
- 22:32Speaker 1: number twenty seven in scoring opportunities per game, so they
- 22:34Speaker 1: don't allow you unless you win the field goal or
- 22:37Speaker 1: the field position battle, is what it is. Bama's number
- 22:41Speaker 1: one thirteen in special teams efficiency, Oklahoma's number twenty one.
- 22:44Speaker 1: A lot of that can, of course be attributed to
- 22:47Speaker 1: Tate Sandel.
- 22:48Speaker 6: Who I believe is going to win the lu Groza.
- 22:50Speaker 1: We'll see, but he has been outstanding all year, so
- 22:54Speaker 1: Oklahoma understands the value of points. He is about as
- 23:01Speaker 1: automatic as you can get. Now, on the other side,
- 23:04Speaker 1: Bama cannot run the football. That is what Oklahoma does best.
- 23:08Speaker 1: But Bama number one twenty in yards per rush, number
- 23:11Speaker 1: one oh eight in rush rates, so they don't do
- 23:12Speaker 1: it very often, less than forty five percent of the time,
- 23:15Speaker 1: number eighty four in rushing success rate, but in certain
- 23:19Speaker 1: spots when jam Miller's healthy. And now I don't think
- 23:22Speaker 1: Kevin Riley, the third string is going to be back.
- 23:24Speaker 1: I think Daniel Hill will be healthier than he was.
- 23:27Speaker 1: In the SEC Championship game.
- 23:30Speaker 6: You were at a.
- 23:30Speaker 1: Point where Bama was having to play ak deer who
- 23:34Speaker 1: is their fourth string freshman running back meaningful snaps in
- 23:38Speaker 1: the SEC Championship game. That's how beat up Alabama has been.
- 23:42Speaker 1: You give him a couple of weeks off, we'll see.
- 23:45Speaker 1: Kaylend Wore seems to believe that a lot of the
- 23:47Speaker 1: guys that were out are going to be healthy for
- 23:50Speaker 1: this game, and I would assume for the playoff run
- 23:53Speaker 1: if they were to make one.
- 23:55Speaker 6: Bama passing the football.
- 23:58Speaker 1: As bad as things have looked with Tyson as of late,
- 24:02Speaker 1: here's one thing that I don't understand, by the way,
- 24:05Speaker 1: because Oklahoma's gonna try and take advantage of this. Oklahoma
- 24:07Speaker 1: is number three and have a rate Alabama number twenty
- 24:10Speaker 1: seven and have it cloud. They don't exactly help Tye
- 24:14Speaker 1: Simpson with the play calling because in certain situations and
- 24:20Speaker 1: you can see like the passing downs PPA number sixteen,
- 24:24Speaker 1: passing down success rate number twenty three, he's still on
- 24:28Speaker 1: third and eight. I mean, other teams just pin their
- 24:31Speaker 1: ears back and get after him. Georgia I think had
- 24:34Speaker 1: like eighteen quarterback hurries pressures. They don't do anything fast.
- 24:41Speaker 1: If they don't do anything fast in this game to
- 24:44Speaker 1: where they get the ball out to their playmakers, and
- 24:46Speaker 1: just let them make plays. Simpson's gonna get killed again.
- 24:52Speaker 1: So I'm curious what we can expect. I don't know exactly.
- 24:58Speaker 1: As far as in tangibles go, Alabama number twenty two
- 25:02Speaker 1: in penalties per game, Oklahoma number one oh two, Batman
- 25:04Speaker 1: number twenty six, and turnover margin Oklahoma number eighty one.
- 25:08Speaker 1: Bama is number thirty in points per scoring opportunity, Oklahoma
- 25:12Speaker 1: number five in points allowed per scoring opportunity Batman number
- 25:16Speaker 1: forty five in scoring opportunities per game, Oklahoma number fifteen
- 25:19Speaker 1: in scoring opportunities allowed per game, Oklahoma number seven and
- 25:24Speaker 1: five factors rank Bama's number nineteen. So Oklahoma has certainly
- 25:29Speaker 1: been playing overall better. The only issue with them is,
- 25:34Speaker 1: of course, penalties, turnovers, and their offense.
- 25:39Speaker 6: Everything else is great.
- 25:40Speaker 1: Bama has special teams problems, they can't run the football.
- 25:45Speaker 1: The other stuff is good, though, I'm curious. Bama three
- 25:51Speaker 1: and four against the spread and bowls since twenty twenty,
- 25:53Speaker 1: Oklahoma three and two, and Oklahoma is the team that
- 25:56Speaker 1: has had Alabama's number four years. I mean, just going
- 26:01Speaker 1: back as long as I can remember. BAMA got one
- 26:05Speaker 1: win over Oklahoma in a playoff game that was in
- 26:09Speaker 1: Miami when.
- 26:10Speaker 6: Tua was the quarterback, and that's been about it. I
- 26:14Speaker 6: look at this.
- 26:15Speaker 1: You know, Alabama favored by one and a half at
- 26:17Speaker 1: some books. They are a dog of one and a
- 26:19Speaker 1: half at some books, so it's kind of all over
- 26:21Speaker 1: the place. The total is forty and a half and
- 26:23Speaker 1: it is just sitting there. The total was forty four
- 26:27Speaker 1: for the last game, twenty three to twenty one, but
- 26:30Speaker 1: that went under the projected total the line, if you will,
- 26:34Speaker 1: and it went.
- 26:36Speaker 6: Under quite a bit. I believe the I believe it
- 26:39Speaker 6: was forty eight, forty eight and a half something like that.
- 26:41Speaker 1: So I look at this. I think Alabama's going to
- 26:45Speaker 1: be healthy. I think the turnovers are not going to
- 26:47Speaker 1: be quite the same as.
- 26:48Speaker 6: They were last time.
- 26:51Speaker 1: And I still trust Kaylen to boor in big time situations.
- 26:55Speaker 1: He seems to know what he's doing. And if he's
- 26:57Speaker 1: got a healthy football team, then I think that they
- 26:59Speaker 1: will be able to They'll still be able to move
- 27:02Speaker 1: the football against this Oklahoma defense. I think Alabama needed
- 27:06Speaker 1: to buy in the worst kind of way. I think
- 27:10Speaker 1: they'll be able to get it done. So I will
- 27:11Speaker 1: take Alabama at the best number I can get right
- 27:14Speaker 1: now is Bama plus one and a half. I don't
- 27:16Speaker 1: think it matters because I think they win the game outright,
- 27:19Speaker 1: and odds are probably gonna win by more than one
- 27:23Speaker 1: and a half. So whether it's Bama minus one and
- 27:26Speaker 1: a half or Bama plus one and a half, I'll
- 27:29Speaker 1: take Alabama to win this game in Norman, Saturday, December twentieth,
- 27:35Speaker 1: and we have got a monster matchup in the first round,
- 27:37Speaker 1: this one of course on ABC as well eleven am
- 27:40Speaker 1: Central time, God's time zone. Miami is headed to College
- 27:43Speaker 1: Station to take on Texas A and M.
- 27:46Speaker 6: This is your ten to seven matchup.
- 27:48Speaker 1: So the winner of this, of course goes on to
- 27:50Speaker 1: face Ohio State next week or the whatever New Year's
- 27:55Speaker 1: Eve whenever that is. A and M is a three
- 27:58Speaker 1: and a half point favorite total of fifty one and
- 28:00Speaker 1: a half on this and my projected stat spread has
- 28:03Speaker 1: A and M by two point twenty one. My power
- 28:05Speaker 1: rating has A and M by four. My last four
- 28:07Speaker 1: weeks has an M minus almost nine points. Found that
- 28:13Speaker 1: very interesting, very very interesting. Let's take a look over
- 28:17Speaker 1: all of these two teams. Miami oh to three against
- 28:19Speaker 1: the spread since twenty twenty in bowl games. A and
- 28:22Speaker 1: M is one and two against the spread, so they
- 28:25Speaker 1: are minus one point seven. Neither team really performs well
- 28:28Speaker 1: when it comes to Bowl games.
- 28:29Speaker 6: Five factors rank.
- 28:30Speaker 1: Miami is number three, A and M is number ten.
- 28:34Speaker 1: This one is interesting to say the least interesting, to
- 28:38Speaker 1: say the least. A and M's offense not great throwing
- 28:43Speaker 1: the football, but they can be insanely explosive. Miami's defense
- 28:47Speaker 1: really really good at defending explosive passes number twenty one
- 28:51Speaker 1: in passing explosiveness allowed an m is number eighteen. Have
- 28:55Speaker 1: a great allowed A and M's offense number five, Miami
- 28:59Speaker 1: number nine. So Rubin Bain and company gonna try and
- 29:01Speaker 1: get after the quarterback a little bit. Can they make
- 29:04Speaker 1: Marcel Read uncomfortable? That's what we're trying to figure out.
- 29:09Speaker 1: I wouldn't put a lot of faith in that because
- 29:11Speaker 1: I do like Texas A and M's offensive line. However,
- 29:15Speaker 1: Miami against the run number nine and ppa per rush
- 29:18Speaker 1: number ten in yards allowed per rush, A and M
- 29:20Speaker 1: number forty three and number twenty eight in those and
- 29:23Speaker 1: you saw that they were not able to get it
- 29:26Speaker 1: done against Texas. And I think that Miami is closer
- 29:29Speaker 1: to Texas than they are some of the other teams
- 29:32Speaker 1: that A and M has played thus far this year
- 29:35Speaker 1: special teams that's in Miami's favor. They are number twelve
- 29:37Speaker 1: and special teams efficiency per sp plus Texas.
- 29:40Speaker 6: A and M is number eighty one.
- 29:43Speaker 1: When you look at some of the other intangibles penalties
- 29:44Speaker 1: per game both through outside the top one twenty, Miami
- 29:48Speaker 1: is number twelve and turnover margins, so they don't turn
- 29:50Speaker 1: it over a ton, although that would be the story
- 29:52Speaker 1: of their season. Carson Beck going on the road does
- 29:55Speaker 1: not exactly strike fear in anybody, and they are number
- 29:59Speaker 1: seventy six and interceptions thrown per pass attempt. The issue
- 30:05Speaker 1: is that A and M is number one thirty one
- 30:06Speaker 1: and interceptions gained per pass attempt defended, so they're pretty
- 30:10Speaker 1: good against the pass number twenty n PPA allowed per pass.
- 30:13Speaker 1: They are number thirty three in QBR allowed, but Miami
- 30:18Speaker 1: number nine in QBR and number.
- 30:20Speaker 6: Six and PPA per pass.
- 30:23Speaker 1: I think Miami's going to be able to throw the
- 30:24Speaker 1: football on them a little bit because you don't really
- 30:28Speaker 1: have to worry about A and M getting takeaways, right
- 30:32Speaker 1: they're number one to twenty and takeaways per game number
- 30:35Speaker 1: eighty and giveaways per game, so that's certainly not great
- 30:40Speaker 1: when you think about it. These two teams are both
- 30:42Speaker 1: inside the top ten as far as overall talent ranks,
- 30:44Speaker 1: so this is a monster matchup. Miami running the football
- 30:49Speaker 1: not exactly anything that you're going to write home about,
- 30:53Speaker 1: but they did have a running back come on late
- 30:57Speaker 1: that kind of changed things up to the number twenty
- 30:58Speaker 1: eight and rushing success rate in defense is number eleven.
- 31:03Speaker 1: Offensive line yards A and M is number seventeen in
- 31:06Speaker 1: offensive line yards allowed, Miami number thirty five. In offensive
- 31:09Speaker 1: line yards Miami number seventeen. And stuff rate A and
- 31:11Speaker 1: M number twenty one and stuff rate, I mean it's
- 31:16Speaker 1: pretty equal. This is a pretty equal ballgame. Average field
- 31:20Speaker 1: position on both sides. Both are pretty good at this,
- 31:26Speaker 1: you know, scoring opportunities Miami a number fourteen, and points
- 31:28Speaker 1: per scoring opportunity A and M is number one oh five.
- 31:31Speaker 1: But A and M is also number ten in scoring
- 31:34Speaker 1: opportunities allowed per game. Miami's number eleven. There So Miami,
- 31:38Speaker 1: I think we'll be able to drive more. Well, they'll
- 31:44Speaker 1: be able to drive some. I think that Miami's better
- 31:46Speaker 1: at finishing drives. A and M number twenty six. Points
- 31:49Speaker 1: per scoring opportunity on offense, Miami's defense is number eight,
- 31:54Speaker 1: and you're looking at number ten and number three. As
- 31:56Speaker 1: far as five factors are concerned, this Miami is not
- 32:03Speaker 1: great on the road by any stretch, but they have
- 32:07Speaker 1: been better this year. And I have to, of course,
- 32:11Speaker 1: you look at strength of schedule, Miami number forty five.
- 32:14Speaker 1: A and M is number sixteen. How A and M
- 32:17Speaker 1: is number sixteen blows my mind. I just I don't
- 32:21Speaker 1: have a lot of respect for what they did as
- 32:23Speaker 1: far as the schedule is concerned, because everything seemed to
- 32:26Speaker 1: come up roses for them in certain situations, and they
- 32:31Speaker 1: didn't exactly play a murderer's row of sec teams. They
- 32:37Speaker 1: caught Notre Dame, and my goodness, I mean, if that
- 32:42Speaker 1: extra point goes through, I mean, what are we looking
- 32:44Speaker 1: at here? This is a very difficult one, but I
- 32:51Speaker 1: think the line movement is headed in the right direction.
- 32:54Speaker 6: A and M was.
- 32:56Speaker 1: Favored by five and a half. It open, it's down
- 32:58Speaker 1: at three and a half. I think this is a
- 33:01Speaker 1: field goal game. I think Miami is probably the better
- 33:06Speaker 1: overall team, although they have not played the strength of
- 33:08Speaker 1: schedule to show it. Both of these teams beat Notre
- 33:11Speaker 1: Dame earlier this year, Miami kind of dominated him for
- 33:17Speaker 1: the most part. A and M had to come back
- 33:21Speaker 1: in in South Bend to do it. It was back
- 33:26Speaker 1: to back weeks, and it was what twelve weeks ago,
- 33:29Speaker 1: thirteen weeks ago, So we got to trust what we've
- 33:34Speaker 1: seen from these two teams recently, and A and M
- 33:37Speaker 1: the toughest team that they faced this.
- 33:38Speaker 6: Year was really Texas.
- 33:43Speaker 1: Outside of the Notre Dame game, but that was way
- 33:46Speaker 1: way way back. I think Miami is going to put
- 33:50Speaker 1: up a fight here. I don't expect a bunch of turnovers.
- 33:54Speaker 1: They do have the more experienced quarterback, the better passer,
- 33:59Speaker 1: and while College Station is certainly going to be ramped
- 34:03Speaker 1: up for this, I think it does Miami some favors
- 34:06Speaker 1: that this game is going to be at eleven am
- 34:07Speaker 1: Central as opposed.
- 34:08Speaker 6: To a night game.
- 34:10Speaker 1: Well that said, yeah, I'll take Miami plus the three
- 34:14Speaker 1: and a half. I think they can hang in this game.
- 34:15Speaker 1: I think they can win this game. It's a coin flip.
- 34:17Speaker 1: If I'm getting more than a field goal, I will
- 34:19Speaker 1: go Hurricanes. Why struggle doing everything yourself? On Fiver you

- 36:16Speaker 1: TWU Lane This one, of course, Saturday, December twentieth, This
- 36:18Speaker 1: one at two thirty pm Central Time on ABC. Excuse me, TNT,
- 36:24Speaker 1: that's right, they changed this thing up. It's TNT, HBO
- 36:27Speaker 1: Max and True TV maybe something along those lines. Anyway,
- 36:33Speaker 1: they don't want to compete. The ESPN does not want
- 36:35Speaker 1: to compete with the NFL when it comes to this, so.
- 36:37Speaker 6: I totally get it.
- 36:38Speaker 1: But this would not be competing with the NFL anyway,
- 36:42Speaker 1: if we're just being honest. We saw this game earlier
- 36:45Speaker 1: this year ole Miss. I know at one point it
- 36:49Speaker 1: was thirty eight to three. I don't know if that's
- 36:51Speaker 1: what it finished. It might have been thirty eight to ten.
- 36:53Speaker 1: It might have been forty five to ten. I don't know,
- 36:55Speaker 1: but I remember specifically watching this game. It was the
- 36:58Speaker 1: same day that at I watched Oklahoma and Auburn and
- 37:03Speaker 1: ole Miss beat two Lane like a drum. Now we
- 37:08Speaker 1: can't escape the fact that Lane Kiffin is not going
- 37:11Speaker 1: to be on the sideline for ole Miss. They do
- 37:14Speaker 1: seem pretty ramped up and pretty excited that Pete Golding
- 37:18Speaker 1: is going to be their full time head coach. John
- 37:20Speaker 1: Summral the head coach for two Lane. Whenever he loses
- 37:24Speaker 1: a game that is going to be his last one
- 37:25Speaker 1: in New Orleans, he will be headed off to Florida.
- 37:29Speaker 1: Will Hall is going to be the new head coach,
- 37:31Speaker 1: but John Somerral will still be acting as head coach
- 37:33Speaker 1: for the playoff run.
- 37:35Speaker 6: However long that is.
- 37:37Speaker 1: Ole Miss is favored by seventeen and a half now
- 37:39Speaker 1: total fifty six and a half on this one. My
- 37:44Speaker 1: projected stat spread has almost by sixteen point twenty five.
- 37:47Speaker 1: My power rating has almossed by a little under fourteen.
- 37:50Speaker 1: My last four weeks would actually have two lane favored
- 37:54Speaker 1: by like ten points, which is bananas. When you look
- 37:58Speaker 1: at overall talent rank, I've got ole Miss by twenty
- 38:01Speaker 1: one two lane by or excuse me, oh Miss number
- 38:04Speaker 1: twenty one in overall talent rank per on three two
- 38:07Speaker 1: lane number sixty nine, both of these teams inside the
- 38:10Speaker 1: top fifteen. As far as special teams are concerned. Let's
- 38:14Speaker 1: look at the two lane defense, which is not great.
- 38:17Speaker 1: Their number sixty three in PBA allowed per drive on defense,
- 38:21Speaker 1: but their number eighty seven and rushing success rate allowed
- 38:24Speaker 1: number one oh eight in passing success rate allowed this
- 38:27Speaker 1: ole Miss offense. Who is getting back Basically everybody that's
- 38:31Speaker 1: on the offensive staff other than the head coach Lane
- 38:33Speaker 1: kiffn He allowed everybody to go back, and ole Miss
- 38:36Speaker 1: allowed everybody to come back for it. So Charlie Wise
- 38:38Speaker 1: Junior is going to be calling plays. He is the
- 38:40Speaker 1: offensive coordinator, was the offensive coordinator as well, along with
- 38:45Speaker 1: all of the other position groups. So like their offensive
- 38:49Speaker 1: staff is intact, the defensive staff, of course is intact.
- 38:52Speaker 6: With Pete Golding and company.
- 38:55Speaker 1: They should be perfectly fine in a game like this
- 38:58Speaker 1: because they are going to physically I don't want to
- 39:03Speaker 1: have a I don't want to say a man handle,
- 39:05Speaker 1: but there's just a significant advantage when it comes to
- 39:10Speaker 1: ole Missus roster compared to two lanes roster.
- 39:13Speaker 6: Two lane is pretty good on the line of scrimmage.
- 39:16Speaker 1: But there are number seventy two on the offensive line
- 39:19Speaker 1: against ole Missus defense, that's number twe excuse me, defensive
- 39:21Speaker 1: line that's number twenty eight. On the other side, the
- 39:24Speaker 1: two lane offensive line is that right, Sorry, sorry, two
- 39:30Speaker 1: lane offensive line is number seventy two. The two lane
- 39:33Speaker 1: defensive line is number twenty four. So on defense, two
- 39:38Speaker 1: lane can potentially compete with ole Miss.
- 39:45Speaker 6: I'm not expecting it though.
- 39:46Speaker 1: Ole Miss number eleven in points per scoring opportunity, two
- 39:49Speaker 1: lanes defense number fifty nine, ole Miss number three in
- 39:53Speaker 1: scoring opportunities per game, two lane number ninety three in
- 39:56Speaker 1: scoring opportunities allowed per game. On the other side, two
- 40:01Speaker 1: lane number forty six in points per scoring opportunity, ole
- 40:04Speaker 1: Miss's defense number sixteen, and two lane number forty five
- 40:09Speaker 1: in scoring opportunities per game. That's when you get a
- 40:11Speaker 1: first down inside of the opponent forty ole Miss number
- 40:14Speaker 1: forty one. I'm just not seeing a ton of opportunities
- 40:18Speaker 1: for two lane. Two lane also number seventy four in
- 40:21Speaker 1: defensive red zone touchdown rate, number one hundred in offensive
- 40:24Speaker 1: red zone touchdown rate. I think ole Miss is gonna
- 40:28Speaker 1: score a lot. I don't think Tulane is at all.
- 40:34Speaker 1: Now we have not seen ole Miss without their head coach,
- 40:39Speaker 1: but we do know that this is a playoff game.
- 40:41Speaker 1: We do know that ole Miss has it at home.
- 40:44Speaker 1: It is the biggest game that will happen in the
- 40:47Speaker 1: state of Mississippi. Maybe ever, I think it's huge, absolutely huge.
- 40:55Speaker 1: Five factors plus talent has ole Miss at number twenty one,
- 40:58Speaker 1: has two lane at number fifty. Both of them are
- 41:01Speaker 1: pretty good as far as the first half is concerned.
- 41:03Speaker 1: But tu lane is number eighty four and second half
- 41:05Speaker 1: point margin ole Miss is number fifteen. I think this
- 41:09Speaker 1: could get lopsided at two lane one in three against
- 41:13Speaker 1: the spread in bowl games. So when it comes to bowls,
- 41:17Speaker 1: I mean we saw we saw the same thing here
- 41:20Speaker 1: when Tulane played against Florida last year. I thought they
- 41:22Speaker 1: would hang around in that game even without Darien Mensa.
- 41:26Speaker 6: I was wrong. I was incorrect. They got whipped at
- 41:31Speaker 6: the line of scrimmage.
- 41:33Speaker 1: I think you're probably going to see a lot of
- 41:34Speaker 1: the exact same thing here. I just don't believe that
- 41:38Speaker 1: Tulane has the guys to hang in here. So this
- 41:41Speaker 1: thing did jump over seventeen. So it's ole Miss minus
- 41:44Speaker 1: seventeen and a half. I think you're probably gonna see
- 41:46Speaker 1: ole Miss by at least three touchdowns, if not more.
- 41:49Speaker 1: So I'm going against my numbers here. I think that
- 41:52Speaker 1: ole Miss is going to whip them, and I will
- 41:55Speaker 1: take the Rebels minus seventeen and a half one more time.

- 42:11Speaker 1: these games. I want to know what you think is
- 42:13Speaker 1: gonna happen as well, not just me spouting off my
- 42:16Speaker 1: opinion over here. I want to know was ou what
- 42:18Speaker 1: are you thinking? So go ahead and knock.
- 42:21Speaker 6: That out for me.
- 42:22Speaker 1: The last CFP first round game gives us number twelve
- 42:26Speaker 1: against number five James Madison going.
- 42:28Speaker 6: All the way across the country to Eugene.
- 42:31Speaker 1: This one six thirty pm Central Time on TNT, and
- 42:35Speaker 1: Oregon is a twenty one and a half point favorite
- 42:38Speaker 1: at home with a total of fifty and a half,
- 42:41Speaker 1: the Ducks taking on the James Madison Dukes.
- 42:44Speaker 6: That's right.
- 42:45Speaker 1: We had two G five teams make it into the
- 42:47Speaker 1: playoff this year, thanks ACC And it's not often that
- 42:52Speaker 1: you see a playoff game where you have a three
- 42:57Speaker 1: touchdown spread. Probably not going to see that in the NFL.
- 43:05Speaker 1: Very rarely are you going to see it in college
- 43:06Speaker 1: football as well, but that's.
- 43:09Speaker 6: Where we are.
- 43:11Speaker 1: If you just look at ross stats, it looks like
- 43:14Speaker 1: a pretty good matchup.
- 43:15Speaker 6: Oregon number one in.
- 43:16Speaker 1: The country in PPA margin, James Madison is number nine,
- 43:20Speaker 1: James Madison number thirty five in offensive success rate. Oregon's
- 43:24Speaker 1: defense is number fourteen, Oregon's offense number six in offensive
- 43:28Speaker 1: success rate, James Madison's defense number one. So James Madison
- 43:32Speaker 1: has played incredibly.
- 43:34Speaker 6: Well this year.
- 43:35Speaker 1: The issue is that Oregon is number nineteen in current
- 43:38Speaker 1: strength of schedule over at ESPN, James Madison is number
- 43:41Speaker 1: one twenty three. I don't know if we will ever
- 43:45Speaker 1: see a playoff team with a strength to schedule inside
- 43:49Speaker 1: the one twenties again, but this was an odd year,
- 43:54Speaker 1: is what it is. When it comes to bowls, James
- 43:58Speaker 1: Madison has only been in two of them. They are
- 44:00Speaker 1: one and one against the spread in those, Oregon one
- 44:04Speaker 1: and four against the spread in bowl games in postseason games.
- 44:09Speaker 1: So I mean, this number is a little crazy for
- 44:12Speaker 1: a college football playoff game. But when you look at
- 44:15Speaker 1: the overall talent rank, Oregon is number seven, James Madison
- 44:19Speaker 1: number one hundred Oregon. The one that's right here for
- 44:23Speaker 1: them was against Liberty in the Fiesta Bowl and they
- 44:28Speaker 1: beat Liberty thirty eight to six, and it was never
- 44:30Speaker 1: even a ballgame. And that was a good Liberty team
- 44:33Speaker 1: that was undefeated, that had, you know, really done a
- 44:37Speaker 1: good job against everybody that they played. Their numbers all
- 44:39Speaker 1: looked like this for James Madison. The issue that you
- 44:43Speaker 1: run into is Oregon is number three as far as
- 44:46Speaker 1: the offensive line position group is concerned, James Madison number
- 44:50Speaker 1: fifty nine.
- 44:50Speaker 6: On defense.
- 44:52Speaker 1: On the other side, James Madison's offensive line number ninety two,
- 44:56Speaker 1: Oregon's defensive line number fifty two, and they've actually gotten
- 44:59Speaker 1: significantly better throughout the year. They're number five as far
- 45:02Speaker 1: as linebacker unit, number four in opponent back seven Oregon
- 45:08Speaker 1: number seventy one as far as running back is concerned,
- 45:10Speaker 1: but they've gotten better there. They're number twenty five and
- 45:12Speaker 1: skill players. James Madison's defense number fifty three, number sixty
- 45:16Speaker 1: two as far as their running backs are concerned. I mean,
- 45:18Speaker 1: it's it's a mismatch. It is a complete and total mismatch,
- 45:25Speaker 1: and there's no real way to quantify exactly how much.
- 45:29Speaker 1: How about this, when you weigh the talent five factors rank,
- 45:34Speaker 1: James Madison is number eight and Oregon is number nine.
- 45:37Speaker 1: If you just look at raw five factors. If you
- 45:40Speaker 1: do five factors plus talent and that includes talent being
- 45:44Speaker 1: weighted at thirty percent, Oregon is number three. James Madison
- 45:48Speaker 1: is number sixty five. I mean, it's it's a night
- 45:54Speaker 1: and day difference as far as the talent between these
- 45:55Speaker 1: two teams. Oregon's defense is going to be able to
- 45:59Speaker 1: shut down everything that James Madison wants to do. On offense,
- 46:01Speaker 1: James Madison runs the ball sixty percent of the time.
- 46:05Speaker 6: How do you do that?
- 46:07Speaker 1: If your offensive line group is number ninety two and
- 46:11Speaker 1: the Oregon defensive line is fifty two, the linebackers are
- 46:14Speaker 1: number five, How explain it? To me, I don't know
- 46:21Speaker 1: that James Madison is going to get a whole lot
- 46:22Speaker 1: of push at all unless Oregon is already up by
- 46:25Speaker 1: four touchdowns. So as far as points per scoring drive,
- 46:31Speaker 1: all that who can finish drives. Oregon number twenty five
- 46:34Speaker 1: in points per scoring opportunity, James Madison's defense number thirty seven.
- 46:38Speaker 1: On the other side, James Madison number fifty one in
- 46:40Speaker 1: points per scoring opportunity on offense, Oregon's defense number seventy six.
- 46:46Speaker 1: Both of them have plenty of opportunities, though because Oregon, uh,
- 46:50Speaker 1: well excuse me, Oregon doesn't have a ton of opportunities
- 46:53Speaker 1: because they don't give up many drives where the opponent
- 46:55Speaker 1: gets a first down inside the forty yard line. Oregon
- 46:59Speaker 1: is number on four in scoring opportunities per game. James
- 47:02Speaker 1: Madison is number five. You look at turnover margin, Oregon
- 47:06Speaker 1: is number eighteen. James Madison is number seventy seven. You
- 47:10Speaker 1: look at penaltyes per game, Oregon is number thirty three.
- 47:13Speaker 1: James Madison outside the top one hundred special teams, Oregon
- 47:17Speaker 1: is number thirty seven. James Madison is number eighty nine.
- 47:21Speaker 1: So even the intangibles, the things that James Madison would
- 47:24Speaker 1: need to go right. The odds are not exactly in
- 47:26Speaker 1: their favor that they do. This thing's out to twenty
- 47:32Speaker 1: one and a half. It was twenty one when.
- 47:35Speaker 6: I did the sheet the other night.
- 47:39Speaker 1: My projected stats spread has Oregon by eighteen. My power
- 47:42Speaker 1: rating has Orgon by seventeen. My last four weeks has
- 47:46Speaker 1: Orgon by just one point. I still think talent is
- 47:51Speaker 1: the difference here. Oregon is so much better, and they're
- 47:56Speaker 1: at home, and by god, they got beat like a
- 48:00Speaker 1: in the first round last year, not the first round,
- 48:02Speaker 1: the quarterfinals, right, Ohio State waxed them. This is a
- 48:08Speaker 1: bit of a rebirth, if you will. Oregon is the
- 48:13Speaker 1: significantly better team. Twenty one and a half feels like
- 48:16Speaker 1: a lot, especially for a James Madison team. But I
- 48:18Speaker 1: saw James Madison kind of get handled by Louisville, and
- 48:24Speaker 1: I think Oregon's got a whole lot more weapons and
- 48:26Speaker 1: a lot bigger dudes. I'll take Oregon. Give me the
- 48:30Speaker 1: Ducks minus twenty one and a half. All right, let's
- 48:33Speaker 1: recap what we got for this week. Army is going
- 48:37Speaker 1: to Navy. I'm gonna take Navy minus six and a half.
- 48:40Speaker 1: The LA Bowl on Saturday Night, I'll take Washington minus
- 48:43Speaker 1: nine and a half, the IS four S Salute, the
- 48:45Speaker 1: Veterans Bowl. I'm gonna take Jacksonville State plus three and
- 48:48Speaker 1: a half against Troy, and then we get to the
- 48:51Speaker 1: College Football Playoff, I'm taking Bama plus one and a half,
- 48:54Speaker 1: Miami plus three and a half, Ole miss minus seventeen
- 48:57Speaker 1: and a half, Oregon minus twenty one and a half.
- 49:00Speaker 1: Next week, we have got a slew of games that
