  Chris Landry on your radio talking college in the NFL on a Tuesday. I
• 0:03
  had to move around just a little bit, but we appreciate that. Go
• 0:06
  to Landry football dot com and of course Landry Football at i X. Chris.
• 0:08
  You know, I've been talking a little bit about what your point is
• 0:10
  to that is. You know, if you take last year, this past
• 0:12
  year's final poll. You know Arizona was number fourteen in the poll. Let's
• 0:17
  just say they won the big twelve, Well, they would get that automatic
• 0:21
  qual qualifier, and then you talk about the next highest team, which would
• 0:25
  be a group of five team, you got to go all the way down
• 0:27
  to twenty three at Liberty, so they would get in as well. I'll
• 0:32
  be interested to see if the let me see how to frame this up,
• 0:35
  the committee and the way that they put the poll together, if maybe they
• 0:39
  give a little more credence to a thirteen and oh Liberty in the situation like
• 0:43
  this, or will they still just keep it the same and then all of
• 0:47
  a sudden, like you said, people's heads will explode. Wait a minute,
• 0:49
  what do you mean Liberty is twenty third? How are they in the
• 0:51
  playoff? That's right? And not only that, how do they get a
• 0:55
  buye. I mean, they're one of the now they're there, and then
• 0:58
  you tell them me that the second best team in the SEC are big ten.
• 1:00
  It's got to now go win an extra game. It's yeah. I
• 1:06
  don't. I don't think people are talking about that enough. I think they're
• 1:08
  just oh, yeah, everybody gets in and it's fine. It just we're
• 1:14
  we haven't gotten people to think in terms of once they get in, how
• 1:19
  it's gonna shape up. And you know, I think that's gonna be a
• 1:22
  big pack. Here's the other thing, and I'm not saying this is gonna
• 1:25
  happen this way. Let's just say Notre Dame has one of those years.
• 1:30
  They're they're twelve and zero and they look like they just like a great not
• 1:36
  gonna be They're gonna have to win that extra game. They can't win a
• 1:40
  conference. They're on the conference because they did their fault. They should belong
• 1:44
  on the conference. I get all that, but but there again, that's
• 1:47
  gonna be the all right, they're a great looking team, they're an independent,
• 1:52
  so they're completely ineligible. Now they agreed to it because in their eyes,
• 1:57
  uh, they're gonna get to play an extra game. And it's gonna
• 2:00
  in that case be on their home stadium, So they're giving up that they're
• 2:05
  basically likely getting a home game if they're good enough to make the playoffs I'm
• 2:09
  talking about, and given that off as opposed to giving up the buy,
• 2:13
  I still think it's it's it's still gonna be very intriguing to see. And
• 2:17
  again there's always some argument. Nothing's perfect. I get it, and I'm
• 2:23
  fine with it. I'm just pointing something out that the podcast about it a
• 2:27
  while back, and I kind of went through that exact scenario and that the
• 2:30
  FEVA what I mean I didn't get. Yeah, that's exactly right, the
• 2:35
  ACC and I know the AEC is still Clemson's still good, Florida stage still
• 2:38
  good. But let's look at the Big Twelve now again. And I think
• 2:42
  Arizona's gonna be a pretty good team this year. You're gonna be talking about
• 2:46
  it, maybe a Big twelve team with the three losses gonna be ranked.
• 2:50
  You know, they're they're gonna be not as good, not ranked time people.
• 2:54
  They're gonna that team that's maybe ranked second in the country is not going
• 3:00
  to be eligible to be one of the top four seeds. They got to
• 3:02
  automatically go into it. Think NFL think about that, and and and I
• 3:07
  don't think that that people haven't a full grasp of that yet. Yeah,
• 3:12
  you went right where I wanted to go. And I'm glad you brought that
• 3:14
  up about Notre Dame. I'm a little because I had a couple of listeners
• 3:16
  texting OU were wane about Notre Dame, about that exact situation. I'm a
• 3:20
  little surprised, but I think you've answered it. Why Jack Swarbick would not
• 3:23
  have pushback on that, But we have not heard any anything about that as
• 3:27
  far as you know, why Notre Dame could or could not maybe be eligible
• 3:30
  for one of these top four seeds. Yeah, because they're not in the
• 3:34
  conference. They don't want to get in the conference. And they basically said,
• 3:38
  look, we're fine with it, we'll get in. We got a
• 3:40
  home game, and we're just going to play that home game in the playoffs.
• 3:45
  But yeah, they basically have voted themselves, we'll play the extra game,
• 3:50
  we'll play it at home if we make the playoffs. That's it.
• 3:53
  That's that's the way it is. And it's one of the unique quirks of
• 3:57
  the complexities of the college game. But you know, and and and they
• 4:01
  know that we're going to get well you don't want that, get into a
• 4:08
  conference. Well, they don't want to do that, you know, and
• 4:11
  at least the current administration has no desire to do that. So they're basically
• 4:16
  then we're good and we're gonna take it that way. We're gonna take that
• 4:20
  extra game. We just we're going to play it at home and we're gonna
• 4:24
  be good with it. So it's you know, again, it's going to
• 4:27
  be talked about. Uh. I think right now everybody's just excited that we've
• 4:30
  got playoffs as am I. I just I just think that the argument's going
• 4:35
  to be a lot different this year. Not who makes it, but man
• 4:40
  I yeah, I forgot that. You know that this doesn't look right,
• 4:44
  it doesn't feel right, and you know, again you deal with that in
• 4:47
  the NFL. But you know, for some reason, it's just going to
• 4:51
  resonate more Jacob in college because in college it's always I mean, you know
• 4:57
  how it is. This last year was l to stay deserves again to get
• 5:00
  in or didn't you know that was the argument. Now we're gonna move to
• 5:03
  a different arm, we'll still have the argument about this team got in over
• 5:08
  that team, but I think it's gonna move towards Man, I can't believe
• 5:12
  it. We're Georgia and there you know, I'm a Georgia fan or whatever
• 5:15
  I'm I mean, think about this, the old miss fans, I don't
• 5:19
  I don't know that. I think Old Misses is, you know, as
• 5:23
  good as people are predicting, But I think they're gonna be good. But
• 5:27
  yeah, you can be really good, and maybe you have a great record
• 5:31
  and against a great schedule. Unless you win the SEC, you're not gonna
• 5:38
  be one of the top four seeds. Uh. And now you've added Texas
• 5:42
  and Oklahoma. Now you've made that conference even stronger. And the same thing
• 5:46
  can be said about the Big Ten. Your Oregon You're you're USC if Ohio
• 5:51
  State is the best team, uh, you're the second best team of the
• 5:56
  Big Ten. You're not one of the top four seeds. You're going automatically
• 6:00
  into that at large as and you're gonna have a home game, perhaps depend
• 6:03
  on how your rank, but you're not gonna be in the top four.
• 6:06
  That's huge. That is huge because you get a buye if you're one of
• 6:12
  the top four seats. So you just you know, just because you win
• 6:15
  a weeker conference, you're gonna get a bye the seating just for seating doesn't
• 6:20
  matter. If everybody's playing the first week, it's not the case those top
• 6:26
  four teams. They get to sit home and let everybody you know, you
• 6:30
  know, work it out and and and and fight to buy the next week.
• 6:34
  You gotta gotta, you know, abide in the next round.
