  Speaker 1: Speaking of big ones, there's big games in college football
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: this Saturday. UH ESPN is Bill Conley, whose work we've
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: talked about in the past. He's listed one of the
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: biggest games, but he does it in a different way.
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: For example, he lists games in different categories. One of
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: those categories is for at large playoff bids, so he
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: lists those, and he said, we won't know the official
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: CFP rankings until Tuesday nine, that's tonight, but it's safe
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: to say that the loss for any of these teams
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: except Georgia maybe Notre Dame, would be an absolute catastrophe.
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: He's talking about ole Miss, Tennessee, South Carolina, Clemson, Miami,
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: Notre Dame, SMU, Alabama, Indiana. So anyway, there's there's that.
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: He said in their all state playoff predictor for teams
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: playoff odds fall by at least fourteen percentage points. Ole
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: Miss down fifty six point three, Alabama down thirty three
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: point seven, Colorado down thirty point two, and BYU down fourteen.
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: I'm not sure I believe Old Miss odds are really
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: down to six point two percent to get in, but
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: the Rebels obviously need a lot of help to back
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: up to catch back up, and anyone who loses in
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: Week fourteen won't have much time to get any help. Okay,
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: a group of five playoff bid. Oregon State is at
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: Boise State Friday at noon, Memphis is at Tulane. The
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: only Thanksgiving night college game is Memphis tu Lane. They've
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: just kind of given it up to the NFL now
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: because I think Dolphins and Packers are Thanksgiving Night.
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: They've kind of just given that up.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: The Egg Bowl has moved to Friday, and that used
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: to be Thursday night Texas Texas A and M used
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: to be and then UTSA is playing at Army Saturday
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: at noon. I think Army is pretty much out of
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: it anyway, He said it'd be interesting to see how
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: far Army falls and Tuesday night ranking after getting roughed
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: up by Notre Dame.
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: All right in the SEC real quick on on that
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: delay game. That's a sneaky game crag because Talane can
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: get the ten wins now. Of course, they'll still have
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: to win the American Conference Championship game over Army over Army,
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: but if they do that and maybe Boise State slips up,
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: Delane could end up taking away that group of five
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: bid from Boise State.
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: I think it would have to take. It have to
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: take two things. First of all, Tulane would have to
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: beat number twenty three Memphis. It'd be a good win
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: and it isn't a home They'd have to win that
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: and obviously win the Conference US I mean the American
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: Conference championship game over Army.
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: That's one the other boys. He has to do a
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: nose dive. Gotta lose. They have to lose on Friday. Yeah,
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: they have to lose.
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: They have to lose to Oregon State, and then I
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: think they have to lose really the Mountain West. I
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: don't think they'll fall far enough to fall past Tulane.
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: Delane's two losses by the way number seventeen Kansas State
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: by a touchdown and then at the fifteen Oklahoma game
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: in which they only shalt by a few points in
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: the fourth quarter before costs the interceptions. Yeah, two ranked losses.
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: And remember Boise States losses to the number one team
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: in the country.
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: Right now at war again by three points.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: Yes, so that's why it's keeping it they I think
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: they have to lose twice. Yeah, yeah, I think they'd
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: have to lose in that mount West championship game and
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: as well as lose to Oregon State. If those two
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: things happen in Tulane wins out or if Army wins out.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: Because remember the Army Navy game. We've talked about this,
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: The Army Navy game comes week after the playoff. It
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: does not factor into the playoff. An Army at worst
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: would be a three loss team anyway. So I mean,
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: you know, I'm talking about, oh my gosh, forelock no, because
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: that game won't factor in because it comes the week
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: after the thing.
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: In almost almost not quite, it almost started to be
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: talked about as being a detriment to the two Service
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: Academy by playing that game afterwards, that they wouldn't get
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: the data point they helped them out on that. Well
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: that's the route they chose when they chose to be
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: the final game of the regular season.
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: But it's not gonna matter anyway. Yeah, so I don't
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: want see Army. They stink, stink, stink. They're they're what
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: are they now? Nine and one? Yeah? They did absolutely
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: they did okay.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: In Texas, Texas A and M, they list the win
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: probabilities Texas sixty four percent. It says Georgia was in
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: the clubhouse at six and two in SEC play, but
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: needed a pretty unlikely set of results to clinch a
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: spot in the SEC title game. I mean, there's no
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: way that al Man was going to lose Oklahoma right on,
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: Calm Trayer, Dammit ole Miss both fell the four and
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: three in the league standings, and with the Dogs set
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: up perfectly to win tie breakers against either Texas if
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: the Long Warne lose A and M or Tennessee. The
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: balls beat fan of that was that George's in and
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: we'll play the winner of Texas and Texas A and M.
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: So they talk about, you know that kind of thing.
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: So uh, anyway, all right, so there's the deal with that.
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: And then and then I I agree with him on
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: this and I kind of spoke to it with Andrew Monica.
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: The word mulligan, he said, the SEC championship bid, by
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: the way, indirectly gives Georgia a mulligan if the if
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: the Bulldogs lose to Georgia Tech over the weekend, they
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: could theoretically fall out of a playoff spot, and then
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: they probably should. But then if they beat Texas or
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: Texas A and M the next week, the right back
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: inn would they buy you know, well, maybe they wouldn't
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: get a buck.
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: I'm curious, like, what would the committee do because they
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: have three losses?
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: Three losses? Would you give a three loss team? Would
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: they be ranked higher than say a two loss Big
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: twelve at that point?
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: Maybe not, maybe not, but they'd be in. That'd be interesting.
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: He said.
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: They probably won't lose to Tech, of course, but if
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: you watch you mass run for two hundred and twenty
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: six yards against Georgia on Saturday, you at least had
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: a brief version of TeX's Burley run game fighting success
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: and dictating the clock. All right, So then my favorite
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: one to look at is the Big Twelve. We have Oklahoma,
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: State of Colorado, West Virginia, Texas Tech, Kansas at Baylor,
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: Arizona State at Arizona, TC at Cincinnati, Kansas State at
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: Iowa State, and Houston and BYU.
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: Now listen to this.
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: At this exact moment, he said, we've got four six
• 6:35
  Speaker 1: and two teams in Big twelve play Arizona State, BYU,
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: Colorado and Iowa State, and five five and three teams Baylor,
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: Kansas State, TCU Tech, and West Virginia. An official Big
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: twelve release Sunday proclaimed that all nine schools could still
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: reach the Big Twelve Championship game. If all the projected
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: favorites win, we get Arizona State BYU.
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: And the Big Twelve Championship Game.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: If the four, six and two teams were all finished
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: seven to two, we get Arizona State against Iowa State.
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: But let's think even bigger. If Iowa State loses to
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: Kansas State, that's the game we all know is Farmageddon.
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: If Iowa State loses to Kansas State, Colorado loses the
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: word Oklahoma State.
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: See that's where it goes off the rails. That's not empty.
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: But if Colorado should lose to Oklahoma State, Arizona State
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: loses to Arizona BYU loses to Houston, TCU beat Cincinnati,
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: and Baylor beats Kansas Get ready, folks, you're gonna have
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: an eight way tie for first place. And he said,
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: if I understand the tie breakers correctly, that will either
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: give US Baylor against Kansas State, if West Virginia beachs Tech,
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: or Baylor against Texas Tech.
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: If Tech beats West Virginia.
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: Sp plus says there's only a zero point one percent
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: chance of this happening, but don't listen to sp plus
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: sp plus as a hater.
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: Follow your dreams.
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: What imagine Baylor Jech wound up in the Big twelve
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: championship after all of that.
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: After all the stuff that Baylor have gone through this season?
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, how Betty would that be? Wow? That's your
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: Big twelve. That's your new minor ce. That's why we
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: can't have nice things, you know.
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: All right, we're gonna talk some more basketball coming up
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: here on Sports Radio A and thirteen Hunderd Zone in
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: the IR Radio app.
