0:19
[SPEAKER_00]: And man, do we have a lot to talk about?
0:22
[SPEAKER_00]: Want to introduce the co-host, Eric, and Ryan Robinson guys, crazy week in college football.
0:29
[SPEAKER_01]: Penn State, obviously.
0:30
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, Ryan called it.
0:31
[SPEAKER_01]: I didn't know that they would do it.
0:34
[SPEAKER_01]: mid-feet him, but I've got to tank three in a row.
0:38
[SPEAKER_01]: I guess you can't let it linger.
0:40
[SPEAKER_01]: Fans run happy with him.
0:44
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
0:45
[SPEAKER_01]: You get the other stuff coming out behind the scenes about his his arrogance and stuff around the facility and certain things.
0:53
[SPEAKER_01]: That all adds up when you're winning games you overlook some stuff, but when you're losing, like he was losing, and had a pattern of it, and then you thought maybe he snapped out of it last
1:04
[SPEAKER_01]: And once a big game's made up to the final four teams in the college football playoff and then this year just laid a big fat egg and was looking at another loss on the road at Iowa this week.
1:17
[SPEAKER_01]: So I told Eric that if they lose this third one in a row, they'll make the move.
1:23
[SPEAKER_01]: He won't be the coach comes Sunday at mid Sunday.
1:27
[SPEAKER_01]: He though already make a decision.
1:29
[SPEAKER_00]: The other big story, of course, was Indiana's win over Oregon.
1:33
[SPEAKER_00]: We will get to that very soon, but first, our college football media picks competition.
1:38
[SPEAKER_00]: The week seven results are interesting.
1:42
[SPEAKER_00]: Eric Robinson with 34 points, Ryan Robinson with 34 points.
1:47
[SPEAKER_00]: Grant Shouse with 34 points.
1:49
[SPEAKER_00]: So those are still the top three in the competition.
1:51
[SPEAKER_00]: Grant with 214, Ryan 26, Eric with 194.
1:58
[SPEAKER_00]: Michelle Garmin was fourth this week tied with Kevin Helfreak.
2:02
[SPEAKER_00]: I am fourth overall in the competition with 188, which puts me 6 points behind the leader Grant Shows, and then Will Rutherford, Jeremy GIGG, he's still in the game.
2:15
[SPEAKER_00]: Your thoughts on the PIX competition?
2:19
[SPEAKER_01]: I made a massive comeback and then just tie with the guy that I've been trying to gain on.
2:28
[SPEAKER_01]: you know, props to him.
2:30
[SPEAKER_01]: It was a good week for both of us, but we've got what I what I have five weeks left.
2:37
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not sure how long we're going to do the full games.
2:39
[SPEAKER_00]: We're going to do all of them, man.
2:40
[SPEAKER_00]: There's a long time to go.
2:42
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, so I got time.
2:44
[SPEAKER_00]: By the way, guys, Grant's only missed this week was I you.
2:50
[SPEAKER_00]: And he's the I you guy and he's the I you guy and he picked Oregon.
2:55
[SPEAKER_01]: I can't believe that.
2:57
[SPEAKER_00]: And I did too.
2:58
[SPEAKER_00]: I had IU IU IU and then I watched some Oregon film and I got swayed by their defense, which played pretty well against IU most of the game.
3:07
[SPEAKER_00]: But yeah, I picked Oregon as well and I'm kind of ashamed.
3:11
[SPEAKER_00]: Alright, we move on to Week 8 where we start with IU.
3:15
[SPEAKER_00]: We have 10 games, four of them are local, five of them are Nash.
3:22
[SPEAKER_00]: Six of them are national games and then we have a bonus game at the end and we start with the locals 330 on peacock.
3:30
[SPEAKER_00]: It's three and three Michigan State against third ranked in Vienna.
3:37
[SPEAKER_00]: Six and oh, I have Michigan State worth eight.
3:40
[SPEAKER_00]: The Hoosiers worth two.
3:42
[SPEAKER_00]: And bonus for the IU Hoosiers.
3:44
[SPEAKER_00]: They sign their coach to a long-term dealer.
3:47
[SPEAKER_01]: We need to talk more about the the extension than the game the game the game is not even going to be closed It's going to be all you all day The magnetic sign in them for eight more years 93 million.
4:01
[SPEAKER_01]: I believe 11.
4:03
[SPEAKER_01]: I'd like 11 million a year I told Ryan it's a joke, but they have to do it.
4:09
[SPEAKER_01]: I get it, but
4:12
[SPEAKER_01]: I think it's ridiculous that it's come down to this.
4:15
[SPEAKER_01]: And Notre Dame's gonna end up doing the same thing for Marcus Freeman.
4:18
[SPEAKER_01]: It's common.
4:20
[SPEAKER_01]: It's just crazy how much money is being tossed around and college sports when it used to be so taboo.
4:31
[SPEAKER_01]: Like everything was under the table.
4:32
[SPEAKER_01]: Now everything's out in the open.
4:35
[SPEAKER_01]: And the players are making boo-coomani.
4:37
[SPEAKER_01]: The coaches are getting paid boo-coomani.
4:41
[SPEAKER_01]: it's insane to me.
4:43
[SPEAKER_01]: Good for you.
4:45
[SPEAKER_01]: Good for him.
4:45
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, it's obvious he's he's the guy.
4:48
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, 17 and two and 19 games that I you come on.
4:54
[SPEAKER_00]: No one no one else could ever do that.
4:56
[SPEAKER_00]: Crazy.
4:57
[SPEAKER_00]: So yeah, the word I keep using all week is absurd because it's freaking absurd.
5:02
[SPEAKER_00]: It is.
5:03
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
5:03
[SPEAKER_00]: I always say joke, but absurd.
5:05
[SPEAKER_01]: Same thing.
5:07
[SPEAKER_01]: I think I think I think a year to
5:11
[SPEAKER_01]: Maybe the who's your fans will be maybe happier buying a $3 hot dog in a $5 beer as a pose and going going for an A as opposed to a $15 beer in a $20 hot dog to be 10 and 2.
5:35
[SPEAKER_01]: Why did I just think you had, I mean, you have to make that move.
5:38
[SPEAKER_01]: I was listening to some of the talking heads after the announcement came out.
5:42
[SPEAKER_01]: Paul Fibon says it's, it just sunk to IU program, spending that kind of money, but I don't necessarily agree with that.
5:51
[SPEAKER_01]: I think if these players are, or again, paid that kind of money, the coaches, they're all free agents.
5:59
[SPEAKER_01]: The coaches are with the buyouts.
6:01
[SPEAKER_01]: We just saw Penn State pony up 50 million.
6:05
[SPEAKER_01]: What two years ago, A&M boosters ponyed up 75 million for Jim Boe Fisher to leave the building.
6:13
[SPEAKER_01]: So you got to give signetti the money to keep him locked in.
6:19
[SPEAKER_01]: Let's remember, IU has the most losses in NCAA football history as a program, the most ever.
6:28
[SPEAKER_01]: And you have a guy coming in and they're mentioning it that it's insane, it's absurd.
6:33
[SPEAKER_01]: No one could do what he's doing.
6:36
[SPEAKER_01]: Why would you not try to capitalize on that and try to set a pattern for your program with the guy that's already showed you.
6:45
[SPEAKER_01]: He's he's got the chops to do it.
6:47
[SPEAKER_01]: And you know, watching that organ game, I watched the most of the first half, all the second
6:57
[SPEAKER_01]: control that whole entire game.
6:59
[SPEAKER_01]: And if it wasn't for that pick six by Mendoza midway through the fourth quarter, that's a 30 to 13 final at Oregon.
7:08
[SPEAKER_01]: It's insane.
7:09
[SPEAKER_01]: They dominated it.
7:11
[SPEAKER_01]: They really did.
7:13
[SPEAKER_01]: They're like, uh, and it's both sides of the ball, the defense is good.
7:18
[SPEAKER_01]: The offense is good.
7:19
[SPEAKER_01]: There's three or four guys on each side of the ball that show up every week and whether it's a rock.
7:27
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, whether it's a rod or or Cooper, one of them's going to have a big game.
7:30
[SPEAKER_01]: You're not going to stop both those guys.
7:33
[SPEAKER_01]: And Medosa doesn't make a whole lot of mistakes.
7:35
[SPEAKER_01]: So we're talking about this week's game at Michigan State.
7:39
[SPEAKER_01]: We're kind of getting on a tangent here on Signetti in the program.
7:42
[SPEAKER_01]: that game is going to be over by probably the end of the first quarter, I don't think I use capable of doing something like Penn State did I you see on here.
7:52
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I don't I don't think they're capable of it.
7:54
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't think they're capable of Notre Dame and Northern Illinois last year.
7:58
[SPEAKER_01]: I just don't think they are.
7:59
[SPEAKER_01]: I think the first signs of that, Signetti replaces players and figures out who wants to play.
8:07
[SPEAKER_01]: I think it's we're in great shape with him as the coach at
8:13
[SPEAKER_01]: I think they're going to continue to continue to win.
8:15
[SPEAKER_01]: They're definitely going to be in the college football playoff.
8:17
[SPEAKER_01]: I'd love for them to be big ten champs though.
8:21
[SPEAKER_00]: I've been saying all week that we now know that they are as good as anybody with the possible exception of Ohio State, I think.
8:30
[SPEAKER_00]: My amy may be, but right now, I think it's those three and I you and my amy had put about the same.
8:38
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, but Greg, after what we saw Saturday, I'm not afraid of Ohio State.
8:44
[SPEAKER_01]: I am now.
8:44
[SPEAKER_00]: You might be right.
8:45
[SPEAKER_00]: As I said, the possible exception of Ohio State, it's still absurd.
8:50
[SPEAKER_00]: All right.
8:51
[SPEAKER_00]: So we all agree.
8:51
[SPEAKER_00]: I use winning that game.
8:53
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
8:54
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
8:54
[SPEAKER_01]: Yep.
8:54
[SPEAKER_01]: I knew big time.
8:59
[SPEAKER_00]: Great clock on the big ten network.
9:01
[SPEAKER_00]: It's two and four Purdue at four and two Northwestern.
9:05
[SPEAKER_00]: I have Purdue.
9:05
[SPEAKER_00]: We're seven Northwestern off.
9:08
[SPEAKER_00]: We're three.
9:10
[SPEAKER_00]: Purdue coming off a very disappointing loss at Minnesota game that they pretty much dominated every way, but the scoreboard or Western coming off a win for the ages.
9:22
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, a big one for Northwestern, but I'm in the big picture, maybe maybe in a few more weeks, maybe not so big.
9:29
[SPEAKER_01]: If disappointing, I'm going to take Northwestern at home.
9:34
[SPEAKER_01]: And I'm going to go back.
9:35
[SPEAKER_01]: Now I said, I picked
9:37
[SPEAKER_01]: uh... produced only one like what one game in the big ten and then i picked them last week so i'm going north-western and per-do no-no i'm i'm gonna go with north-western as well i think that's coming off the big wind they're at home they're gonna be playing in front of about four thousand people in that soccer stadium i'm gonna be packed it'll be packed it's gonna be rocking per-do's not that good
10:06
[SPEAKER_01]: And let's not forget Northwestern's four and two.
10:09
[SPEAKER_01]: So in two and one in the big 10, so I'm going with the wild cats.
10:16
[SPEAKER_00]: Give me a big night from Nitro Tuggle and the boiler makers, but at this point it's all heart, no head.
10:23
[SPEAKER_01]: You need to quit picking with your heart because you got some ground to make up and you keep going with Purdue and Auburn every week.
10:34
[SPEAKER_01]: No comment.
10:37
[SPEAKER_00]: I need to stop doing that.
10:38
[SPEAKER_00]: Give me the boy the makers.
10:43
[SPEAKER_00]: He's 30 on ESPN plus.
10:46
[SPEAKER_00]: It's two and five accurate.
10:47
[SPEAKER_00]: Two and four ball state of both teams worth five points.
10:52
[SPEAKER_00]: Guys, last week I said ball state might not score another point this year and so far they haven't.
10:57
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, but man, I've been hard on ball state.
11:01
[SPEAKER_01]: I say that the worst
11:04
[SPEAKER_01]: they're at home and that team they're playing is awful.
11:09
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm going to take both date this week and both dates defense is pretty darn good.
11:16
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, if you compare their defense to their office, it's really good.
11:20
[SPEAKER_01]: But yeah, it is ugly.
11:23
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm, but I'll take both dates.
11:27
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm going with Akron in this one, I think both teams are really, really bad, but I think Akron has the potential offensively to put up a W and even though it's a road game ball states not afraid to lose at home, so let's go, let's go with Akron, give me Akron too to nothing.
11:54
[SPEAKER_00]: November 30 on NBC it's number 21 USC at number 13 Notre Dame USC 5 and 1 coming off a big win over Michigan Notre Dame 4 and 2 having 1 4 and a row and at the beginning of the year I said Notre Dame was going to lose its first two games and then win the rest into the playoffs and Well, that's looking pretty good USC were seven Notre Dame worth three.
12:22
[SPEAKER_00]: Does that tempt either one of you?
12:25
[SPEAKER_01]: Not me.
12:26
[SPEAKER_01]: It is shaping up to for you being correct, Greg.
12:30
[SPEAKER_01]: As much as I hate to admit, you might be right.
12:35
[SPEAKER_01]: I know you do.
12:37
[SPEAKER_01]: I like, I like Notre Dame.
12:39
[SPEAKER_01]: I like what's going on there.
12:40
[SPEAKER_01]: I love CJ Carr.
12:42
[SPEAKER_01]: I love the running game.
12:43
[SPEAKER_01]: Finally, get that going every week.
12:46
[SPEAKER_01]: I believe US East Top receivers are not gonna play.
12:49
[SPEAKER_01]: They're not gonna play a maker, man.
12:51
[SPEAKER_01]: I know.
12:53
[SPEAKER_01]: What though Ryan?
12:54
[SPEAKER_01]: Every time we this happened, there'll be some no-name guide.
12:58
[SPEAKER_01]: 200 receiving yards that night.
13:02
[SPEAKER_01]: It happens all the time against Notre Dame.
13:06
[SPEAKER_01]: I like them at home.
13:07
[SPEAKER_01]: I like them at night.
13:08
[SPEAKER_01]: I've been to three of the USC night games in South Bend.
13:12
[SPEAKER_01]: It's electrifying.
13:13
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm taking Notre Dame all day in this one.
13:18
[SPEAKER_01]: I also like Notre Dame in this one.
13:20
[SPEAKER_01]: It's the spreads nine and a half.
13:22
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't think Notre Dame will cover that.
13:24
[SPEAKER_01]: I think it'll be a tighter game.
13:26
[SPEAKER_01]: Maybe a seven, eight point game, but you look at what Notre Dame's done on the defense after those first two losses.
13:32
[SPEAKER_01]: I think they were like 126 ranked defense.
13:35
[SPEAKER_01]: And they're all the way up to 58 now just in four, four weeks.
13:39
[SPEAKER_01]: So, and USC's records a little bit deceiving.
13:43
[SPEAKER_01]: They've had a really soft Big 10 opening.
13:45
[SPEAKER_01]: schedule, they played, I believe, Purdue, Illinois, Michigan State, Michigan last week.
13:52
[SPEAKER_01]: So they've only played one, they've only played one really good team and that was Illinois and they lost that game.
13:58
[SPEAKER_01]: I just think Notre Dame offensively is so good right now.
14:02
[SPEAKER_01]: And I think our defense has gotten just good enough to where we can outscore USC.
14:08
[SPEAKER_01]: They're going to put some points up, both teams will.
14:10
[SPEAKER_01]: Uh, but I think Notre Dame ends up winning this game.
14:13
[SPEAKER_01]: Hopefully we've had so many seasons Eric where it's the last week and of the year we're playing at the Colosseum on a Saturday night and they ruin our season.
14:22
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't want him to ruin our season midseason this year by winning this Saturday, but I think Notre Dame will pull it out.
14:31
[SPEAKER_00]: It would ruin the season
14:39
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm taking Notre Dame 2, 55 to 12.
14:42
[SPEAKER_00]: By the way, guys, you know there is an unbeaten team left on Notre Dame schedule.
14:48
[SPEAKER_00]: Is it Navy?
14:49
[SPEAKER_00]: That's right.
14:51
[SPEAKER_00]: It's two weeks.
14:52
[SPEAKER_00]: So Boston College, the Navy.
14:56
[SPEAKER_00]: And more Texas could be Navy, but other than that, they can, no Navy could be unbeaten to anything.
15:04
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I'm happy I could win.
15:08
[SPEAKER_00]: Now we get to our national games of the weekend.
15:10
[SPEAKER_00]: I did sneak in a game that probably doesn't deserve to be on here, but I want to talk about all the major conferences.
15:16
[SPEAKER_00]: So, noon on ABC, number 10, LSU, at number 17, Vanderbilt.
15:24
[SPEAKER_00]: We did have some disagreement on what each team should be worth and ended up at LSU-5, Vanderbilt-5, both teams are five and one.
15:33
[SPEAKER_00]: Eric, are you taking?
15:35
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, back to the argument, I did tell Greg to quit sent me stuff, and he said, will do.
15:41
[SPEAKER_01]: And then he followed that with your right.
15:46
[SPEAKER_01]: I messed up.
15:47
[SPEAKER_01]: Which was huge for Greg Ming out the admit.
15:51
[SPEAKER_01]: Man, I tell you what, I keep harping on LSU.
15:54
[SPEAKER_01]: I like this LSU team, I really do.
15:57
[SPEAKER_01]: But Vanderbilt is so good.
15:59
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm looking at the points.
16:03
[SPEAKER_01]: And LSU been a dog on the road.
16:06
[SPEAKER_01]: That's insane.
16:08
[SPEAKER_01]: LSU going to Vanderbilt, and they're underdog.
16:11
[SPEAKER_01]: But I'm taking that much of you.
16:13
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm taking LSU.
16:15
[SPEAKER_01]: I am.
16:16
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm going to ride it.
16:18
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm riding LSU out.
16:21
[SPEAKER_01]: Take a Vanderbilt.
16:23
[SPEAKER_01]: I love the A gopavia.
16:25
[SPEAKER_01]: They're at home.
16:25
[SPEAKER_01]: It's an afternoon game.
16:27
[SPEAKER_01]: They're not going to death Valley at 7.30 on Saturday night.
16:31
[SPEAKER_01]: It's a noon game in Nashville.
16:33
[SPEAKER_01]: Uh, he's going to will him to a win and this is typical Brian Kelly fashion to lose this kind of game.
16:42
[SPEAKER_01]: And the SEC we knew it was just going to be utter chaos with losses.
16:47
[SPEAKER_01]: This is going to be LSU second loss.
16:49
[SPEAKER_01]: It does not put them out.
16:51
[SPEAKER_01]: Of college football playoff because they could still get in that SEC title game with two losses and and I just think Vanderbilt is just built different even more so than last year so they can they competed really good and that Alabama game so I think I think Vanderbilt's going to win give me Vanderbilt as well.
17:16
[SPEAKER_00]: Even against in the lost against Alabama, they impressed me with a lot of what they were doing.
17:21
[SPEAKER_00]: And somebody's one of you said they're built different and they are, they're better than last year.
17:28
[SPEAKER_01]: They are better than last year and speed wise, talent wise.
17:33
[SPEAKER_01]: He's doing a hell of a job.
17:36
[SPEAKER_01]: Down there in a fan of Bill.
17:38
[SPEAKER_01]: They're going to lock him into big time.
17:43
[SPEAKER_00]: Soon on Fox, it is five and one, Washington at four and two, Michigan.
17:49
[SPEAKER_00]: I feel very similar to this one as I did last week with USC and Michigan that it's kind of a toss-up.
17:57
[SPEAKER_00]: I have Washington on the road.
18:01
[SPEAKER_00]: worth six points.
18:02
[SPEAKER_00]: Michigan at home worth four.
18:03
[SPEAKER_00]: In the A people, Washington is second and others receiving votes behind Illinois.
18:09
[SPEAKER_00]: Michigan is third and others receiving votes behind Illinois and Washington.
18:14
[SPEAKER_00]: Erica, you got.
18:16
[SPEAKER_01]: That's one of so hard for me.
18:18
[SPEAKER_01]: Gosh, dang.
18:20
[SPEAKER_01]: I need points.
18:21
[SPEAKER_01]: So I like the I like this Washington team and I'm trying to not let my personal bias
18:31
[SPEAKER_01]: But I think I'm taking Washington on the road.
18:33
[SPEAKER_01]: I think Michigan is just going nowhere right now.
18:38
[SPEAKER_01]: So Washington.
18:41
[SPEAKER_01]: I really needed you to pick Michigan.
18:44
[SPEAKER_01]: I think this was the hardest pick of the week and I made my mind up earlier today.
18:52
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm going with Washington.
18:53
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm sticking with Washington.
18:54
[SPEAKER_01]: I think they're the better team.
18:56
[SPEAKER_01]: I know they're going into the big house, but I'm just not impressed with what I've seen out of Michigan.
19:01
[SPEAKER_00]: I agree with both of you.
19:03
[SPEAKER_00]: It's a sweep.
19:03
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm taking Washington.
19:05
[SPEAKER_00]: I have no Michigan by Eric.
19:07
[SPEAKER_00]: In fact, Michigan's probably my favorite big-ton school outside of the state of Indiana.
19:13
[SPEAKER_00]: But I think they stay.
19:17
[SPEAKER_00]: I picked him to win the big-ton in the season.
19:19
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not sure they're going to go over 500.
19:24
[SPEAKER_00]: 330 on ABC, big one in the SEC.
19:28
[SPEAKER_00]: Unbeaten fifth ranked Mississippi goes to 5 and 1 and 9th ranked Georgia, despite being the higher ranked team and unbeaten.
19:37
[SPEAKER_00]: I have the Rebels were 7, the Bulldogs worth 3, is that tempting about the Eric?
19:45
[SPEAKER_01]: But I'm tempted, and with my love affair for Lane Kiff and it's like, I'm about to double down on that.
19:56
[SPEAKER_01]: Man, I tell you, it's so hard to pick against Georgia at home.
20:00
[SPEAKER_01]: They've lost two home games since 2019, Eric.
20:04
[SPEAKER_01]: What that helps make your decision?
20:06
[SPEAKER_01]: I know what they're going to lose a third.
20:08
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm taking Ole Miss, I'm got to be in the lead.
20:13
[SPEAKER_01]: Next week, I'm going to be in the lead.
20:15
[SPEAKER_01]: You might have been if it wasn't for that.
20:19
[SPEAKER_01]: Or he could be mathematically eliminated.
20:22
[SPEAKER_01]: That's fine.
20:25
[SPEAKER_01]: Just get it up in the sense of man.
20:28
[SPEAKER_01]: The Ole Miss often says, they ain't scared.
20:32
[SPEAKER_01]: And I'm telling you, this is going to be, this is the game of the week.
20:36
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm going to be watching Notre Dame UFC that night, but during the day, I'm telling you what, this is going to be a great game.
20:45
[SPEAKER_01]: And I like Ole Miss.
20:47
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm going with the Bulldogs just because everything I said to help Eric make the right pick.
20:52
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I think it's three free points Ryan.
20:56
[SPEAKER_00]: The last time Ole Miss won a game like this, I can't even tell you, the last time they
21:07
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it's a it's a tough spot for them and Lane Kiffens do to lay an egg.
21:11
[SPEAKER_01]: I think it's going to be this Saturday.
21:14
[SPEAKER_00]: So they've proven they can win a big game.
21:16
[SPEAKER_00]: They won two weeks ago at LSU.
21:17
[SPEAKER_00]: They still have not proven they can win a big game on the road.
21:21
[SPEAKER_00]: And they still won this weekend.
21:24
[SPEAKER_00]: Unless you count in touch, that's their biggest win on the road.
21:30
[SPEAKER_00]: It's number seven, and unbeaten Texas tech looking really good.
21:35
[SPEAKER_00]: I have them worth four points at Arizona State, which fell out of the top 25 this week with a 42 to 10 loss at Utah.
21:44
[SPEAKER_00]: But the Arizona State's at home, Eric, are you taking?
21:47
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm taking Texas Tech all day in this Arizona state and such a disappointment.
21:54
[SPEAKER_01]: Sam Levitt, not performing in the payroll of Texas Tech is becoming a huge, don't college football.
22:03
[SPEAKER_01]: Get your words.
22:05
[SPEAKER_01]: Texas Tech all day.
22:09
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, when you have a matchup like this, you want to have healthy quarterbacks and both teams have banged up quarterbacks.
22:15
[SPEAKER_01]: And where I give the edge is Texas Tech's backups come in three different times this year and held serve.
22:21
[SPEAKER_01]: So, and I don't know that Arizona State can say the same with their two losses already.
22:26
[SPEAKER_01]: So, and like Eric said, Lev, it's been kind of a disappointment.
22:29
[SPEAKER_01]: But Texas Tech, they didn't spend all that money to win six games.
22:33
[SPEAKER_01]: They spent that money to win 11 or 12.
22:35
[SPEAKER_01]: So, I looked for them to win this Saturday.
22:38
[SPEAKER_01]: Hopefully, both core of our backs are healthy.
22:42
[SPEAKER_01]: If not, you got to give the edge just based on talent and backup to Texas Tech.
22:48
[SPEAKER_00]: Hey, if Arizona State wins out the rest of the way, they're still going to the playoffs, because that means they will win the big 10 championship.
22:54
[SPEAKER_00]: There's still only a game behind the lead and one of the co-leaders along with number 24.
23:00
[SPEAKER_00]: Since the 90 and number 15 BYU is Texas Tech, of course.
23:05
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think Arizona State wins this game at home in a bounceback win.
23:13
[SPEAKER_01]: God, see, hey, and a team we haven't talked about that you that you mentioned, be why you watch out these guys are killing people.
23:23
[SPEAKER_01]: Man, they're so good.
23:24
[SPEAKER_01]: They're winning the big drill.
23:26
[SPEAKER_01]: Speaking of how I think they might.
23:29
[SPEAKER_01]: You look at our early season, our first podcast of the year.
23:32
[SPEAKER_01]: We said, biggest disappointment, the big 12 American I both said, BYU.
23:36
[SPEAKER_01]: BYU?
23:37
[SPEAKER_01]: We did.
23:37
[SPEAKER_01]: We did.
23:38
[SPEAKER_01]: We did.
23:39
[SPEAKER_01]: We did.
23:39
[SPEAKER_01]: We did.
23:39
[SPEAKER_01]: We did.
23:40
[SPEAKER_01]: We did.
23:40
[SPEAKER_01]: We did.
23:42
[SPEAKER_01]: We did.
23:42
[SPEAKER_01]: We did.
23:43
[SPEAKER_01]: We did.
23:43
[SPEAKER_01]: We did.
23:45
[SPEAKER_01]: We did.
23:45
[SPEAKER_01]: We did.
23:46
[SPEAKER_01]: We did.
23:48
[SPEAKER_01]: We did.
23:49
[SPEAKER_01]: We did.
23:49
[SPEAKER_01]: We did.
23:51
[SPEAKER_01]: We did.
23:52
[SPEAKER_00]: We did.
23:58
[SPEAKER_00]: We did.
23:59
[SPEAKER_00]: It is three and three Penn State at four and two Iowa and guys who would have ever thought.
24:06
[SPEAKER_00]: I would be the favorite going into this game.
24:08
[SPEAKER_00]: I have both teams worth five points, Eric.
24:11
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I'm going to take Iowa.
24:13
[SPEAKER_01]: I think Penn State is done.
24:16
[SPEAKER_01]: You'd look at the coaching change.
24:19
[SPEAKER_01]: It happened.
24:20
[SPEAKER_01]: But you lose your quarterback.
24:22
[SPEAKER_01]: Your seasons over Iowa.
24:27
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, the Hawkeyes will win this game as well.
24:29
[SPEAKER_01]: Be the four straight laws for Penn State.
24:31
[SPEAKER_01]: And the Hawkeyes, they're kind of a sneaky little team.
24:34
[SPEAKER_01]: They played IU pretty good.
24:36
[SPEAKER_01]: And then they just rolled Wisconsin on the road 37 to nothing I believe.
24:42
[SPEAKER_01]: So I think they'll handle Penn State and give me the Hawkeyes.
24:49
[SPEAKER_00]: And I was gonna have no idea how to prep for this game.
24:53
[SPEAKER_00]: They don't know the quarterback.
24:56
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I've seen anything from the quarterback.
24:57
[SPEAKER_00]: They don't know anything from the head coach.
25:01
[SPEAKER_00]: And I'm tempted to take Penn State because of that, but give me Iowa in the States, going to win that game on my military.
25:08
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I just know they are.
25:13
[SPEAKER_01]: Penn State also is going to have to figure out coaching candidates and there's being names dropped everywhere.
25:19
[SPEAKER_01]: Course, Signetti was one of them.
25:21
[SPEAKER_01]: Marcus Freeman's one of Matt Rule.
25:25
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't think either of those three obviously signities off the board now with his extension, but I'm going to drop a couple names there.
25:33
[SPEAKER_01]: You can give me your thoughts on it.
25:36
[SPEAKER_01]: Joe Brady from Buffalo Bills, Offensive Coordinator, and how about Al Golden?
25:43
[SPEAKER_01]: He leaves Notre Dame, his best defense.
25:46
[SPEAKER_01]: uh... one of the best defenses in the country probably the best defense noted names had in in several years goes to Cincinnati they're having a doubt of a year could outgolden be a name he's uh... i think he's an alumni to pinstate alum is that someone him or brady that could be uh... top target
26:09
[SPEAKER_01]: I think I'll go to my, you might hear his name mentioned, but I think what he has done as a head coach exactly, I think he's a coordinator.
26:20
[SPEAKER_01]: I think 59 and 59.
26:22
[SPEAKER_01]: I think he needs to stay a coordinator to me.
26:28
[SPEAKER_01]: My front-runner and we'll see what happened, but Matt Rull, to me, is like the number one candidate there.
26:34
[SPEAKER_01]: They're not, Marcus frame was not going there.
26:36
[SPEAKER_01]: Signalty was never going there.
26:38
[SPEAKER_01]: Ryan Day's never going there.
26:40
[SPEAKER_01]: I think Matt Rull's gonna be a hard target for them.
26:46
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know that they've tried to poach a guy from the NFL.
26:52
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm not sure.
26:53
[SPEAKER_01]: It's gonna be interesting to see what happens.
26:58
[SPEAKER_01]: What about Clark Lee Vanderbilt?
27:01
[SPEAKER_01]: I think, yeah, I think that could work because he comes from, he came up through Notre Dame and, I mean, he's got the history and the pedigree and college football, young.
27:16
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I could see his name being thrown out there.
27:20
[SPEAKER_01]: But there's no way, I mean, a lot of people, I got text messages the day, 10 states coming after Marcus Freeman, that's not gonna happen.
27:29
[SPEAKER_01]: There's only one job, Marcus Freeman ever is gonna leave for, and that's Ohio State.
27:34
[SPEAKER_01]: Or a big time NFL job.
27:37
[SPEAKER_01]: Yep.
27:39
[SPEAKER_01]: The day that Ryan Day gets let go from Ohio State is the day all Notre Dame fans will get nervous.
27:45
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, that's gonna be about day.
27:50
[SPEAKER_01]: As good as Notre Dame, that job is to him and for anybody, there's something to be said about going back to your own school.
28:01
[SPEAKER_01]: And he'd be beloved there.
28:07
[SPEAKER_01]: Just like my role would be at Penn State.
28:12
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know that Matt rule would leave.
28:14
[SPEAKER_01]: That's kind of a
28:17
[SPEAKER_01]: You look at his history, year three is when he makes his move with every team he's ever had, temple, baler, this year in Nebraska, five and one, year three, he's going to make his move this year.
28:28
[SPEAKER_01]: He's going to have a winning season and go bowling and have a great year and go on to something else.
28:37
[SPEAKER_01]: I think he's number one right now, a Penn State, my opinion.
28:44
[SPEAKER_01]: There you have it from the college football experts.
28:47
[SPEAKER_01]: It's Matt Ruhl.
28:50
[SPEAKER_00]: It's run and you can never count out the pull of your home.
28:56
[SPEAKER_00]: Never count that.
29:03
[SPEAKER_00]: 30 on ABC, five and one Tennessee at five and one Alabama to the C were seven.
29:10
[SPEAKER_00]: Alabama worth three and suddenly Eric the tide looked like a national championship contender.
29:17
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah they do and I was actually talking to Carson earlier tonight and I said if Alabama can win this game it would be the most impressive four-week stretch of any team
29:32
[SPEAKER_01]: all season this year.
29:34
[SPEAKER_01]: You look at what they've done.
29:36
[SPEAKER_01]: And if they get the one against Tennessee, which I'm taking Alabama, I'm market down.
29:41
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm taking Alabama.
29:42
[SPEAKER_01]: Me too.
29:44
[SPEAKER_01]: But to beat Georgia beat Vanderbilt.
29:49
[SPEAKER_01]: Go on the road at Missouri and win.
29:51
[SPEAKER_01]: And then beat Tennessee.
29:53
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't think there's any team in the country that can say we did more than Alabama in
30:00
[SPEAKER_01]: super impressive.
30:02
[SPEAKER_01]: I love their coach.
30:03
[SPEAKER_01]: I've been a fan of their coach for a couple of years.
30:06
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm glad they're figuring it out.
30:08
[SPEAKER_01]: Obviously, I'm not a die-hard Alabama fan.
30:10
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm a college football fan.
30:11
[SPEAKER_01]: And I love what Kaylin DeBours doing at Alabama.
30:16
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm glad everyone's going to maybe the noise will quiet down on him.
30:22
[SPEAKER_01]: But Alabama, if they get this win, so impresses and give me
30:30
[SPEAKER_01]: Yep.
30:31
[SPEAKER_01]: I got two words.
30:32
[SPEAKER_01]: Kai Simpson.
30:34
[SPEAKER_01]: Absolutely.
30:36
[SPEAKER_01]: Kai said later.
30:37
[SPEAKER_01]: He is the Heisman front runner in my eye.
30:43
[SPEAKER_01]: He's figured the offense out.
30:45
[SPEAKER_01]: He looks fantastic.
30:49
[SPEAKER_01]: Alabama's going to win this game.
30:50
[SPEAKER_01]: Look, it's going to be close.
30:52
[SPEAKER_01]: This is going to be a challenge after the last three games.
30:56
[SPEAKER_01]: This thing going to be a cakewalk,
30:58
[SPEAKER_01]: Alabama.
30:58
[SPEAKER_01]: I got them winning the game, but it's going to be three or four points.
31:02
[SPEAKER_01]: I think Josh Hypo, he's going to have his team ready.
31:06
[SPEAKER_01]: Tennessee's got a lot of talent, the quarterback's fantastic makes big plays.
31:11
[SPEAKER_01]: I just think Alabama's like locked in right now and they have a rhythm working offensively that I just think's going to keep them winning games.
31:20
[SPEAKER_00]: Give me Alabama.
31:22
[SPEAKER_00]: They were a team after the loss to Florida State.
31:24
[SPEAKER_00]: I got to load off and they have written themselves back in.
31:32
[SPEAKER_00]: And our final game for a clock on ESPN plus it's the three and three Youngstown State penguins at four and two and ninth ranked Illinois State.
31:43
[SPEAKER_00]: I have Youngstown State where seven Illinois State were three.
31:47
[SPEAKER_00]: The Red Birds announced back when last week, 46 to 32 over Murray State.
31:53
[SPEAKER_00]: The racers keyed on Winkers right yet just just 60 yards on 15 carries, but the coaching
32:02
[SPEAKER_00]: and putting back on kick return and he had an 80 yard kick return in the win.
32:07
[SPEAKER_00]: So you had a 140 all-purpose yards in the victory.
32:13
[SPEAKER_00]: So you got Eric.
32:16
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm not going to pick any football team that named the penguins.
32:20
[SPEAKER_01]: So get, get, get me the red birds all day.
32:25
[SPEAKER_01]: I'll do you, I'll do
32:30
[SPEAKER_01]: Greg, give me the birds that can actually fly.
32:32
[SPEAKER_01]: And give me...
32:39
[SPEAKER_00]: I guess I'll take Winkers' right in the Illinois State Red Bulls.
32:49
[SPEAKER_00]: There you go.
32:50
[SPEAKER_00]: It's a thweet to go to five and two on the season.
32:55
[SPEAKER_00]: I think they're about to get themselves on winning streak and getting the playoffs guys.
32:58
[SPEAKER_00]: Thanks so much.
32:59
