  Speaker 2: today's one oh one. Man, that is that's a lot.
• 1:03
  Speaker 2: That's a lot of hot going on in Dallas. So
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: let's see if we can get the podcast that hot, Marky.
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: I'm telling you, baby, I'm telling you, hey, man, we
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: get the SEC. SEC is a little interesting this year
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: to me, got a lot of turnover in the SEC.
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: You've got a lot of jockey in going on in
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: the media days here. You know, you've got Sankee coming
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: out poking his chest out a little bit, letting us
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: know that, you know, there's still the big dog in
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: the room, and then the big ten coming at the
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: end of being like, oh well may I don't know
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: if y'all pay attention or not, but we won the
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: last three national championships. So maybe the SEC just happens
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: to be the best conference with the middle team the
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: middle level of anybody in the country. But we're gonna
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: find out. Man. You got a lot of new coaches
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: in the SEC, which I bring that up because that's
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: not something you see all the time. We got a
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: lot of coaches that have been there a long time
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: there about you know, Arkansas, Ryan Silverfield coming over from Memphis.
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: I don't know if I like that hire or not yet,
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: but we'll get there. Auburn goalish is coming in here.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: Auburn fans, let me hear you. Your team's been terrible,
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: y'all haven't been good since before COVID A whole pandemic happened,
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: since the last time this team was even good or relevant,
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: So we've just had a lot of expectations to get there.
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: Florida Sunbelt. Billy back to the sun Belt, bringing in
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: one of my favorite coaches and John Summer all to
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: reboot that one. Kentucky getting rid of Mark Stoops after
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: he tried to leave on his own to go to
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: college station a few years ago. Bringing in Will Stein
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: from Oregon. Gonna see if it's got a more wide
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: open offense that you've got there. The next two old
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: Miss Pete Golding getting promoted from defensive coordinator and why
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: does that happen because Lane Kiffin is now down in
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: red stick at the Bayou. A lot of change over
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: in the SEC's got first year coaches in the SEC.
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: Of the ones that I gave you hot take, which
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: one do you think probably has the best year? May
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: not be record the best year as far as you
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: take away from it building blocks moving forward.
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: Some are all as the best coach.
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna go with him, but I think Golish has got,
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: you know, bringing over all the guys he bought over
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: from Central Florida because I mean South Florida, because that
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: was such a good and explosive team. Heck, I think
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: they averaged forty points a game or something like that
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: last year. So you know, bringing in your quarterback, bringing
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: in some of those guys with you, I think gives
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: him gives him a really, really good advantage. But the
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: best roster is clearly Old Missus. I mean that's not close.
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: So if we're talking wins, I think you're going to
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: see Old miss with the most wins of all of
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: those new guys. I think if we're talking who who,
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: you get a pretty good idea is got this.
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: On the right track.
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: I think it's summerraw, and I think you're gonna have
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: some I think if Golish does not, if everybody he
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: brought over, and I mean that a couple of offensive line,
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: you know it, they've got a lot of I mean, man,
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: they got some guys. They still got some guys that
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: that can play. If he can't get them Bowl eligible
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: and they're over under win total, I think it's six
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: and a half. He can't get them to six wins,
• 4:16
  Speaker 2: and man, I think people on the planes are gonna
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: be like, what in the world is going on? So
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: it's interesting obviously, Lane Kiffin, everybody, I think everybody else everywhere.
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: I look, they've got Kiffin going to the to the
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: to the playoff, and look, I think Kiffin's gonna be great.
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: But I don't think we I still don't believe they're
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: going to the playoff. I don't I'll believe it. I
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: don't say love it's good enough to do it now
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: A quarterback whisper uh, and he's done guy for broken
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: when he gotten them. He's certainly getting a guy that
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: is that is broken, uh that he's getting this time.
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: So and I just I'm not expecting LSU to be
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: in the playoffs. So uh.
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: Like I said, I think Lane Kiffin it is long term,
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: gonna be great, and I think he probably wins a
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: Natty at LSU. I think Summraw is gonna be really good.
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: I think everybody else is a question mark. But I'm
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: gonna tell you, I think we got three openings next fall.
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: I think I think it's very likely Bama's open. I
• 5:16
  Speaker 2: think it's very very likely that Tennessee is open. I
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: think I'm gonna right and raise some eyebrows. I ain't
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: Oklahoma could be open. I mean, man, look, if he
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: can't get them there this year, I don't think that's
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: gonna be the case. I think they're gonna be pretty
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: damn good. I think they're gonna be really good on defense.
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: We'll get into that. But if he can't get them there,
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: do they make a change? And then you know, I
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: think Jeff Levy's got to figure out how to win
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: six games or he may be on the or he
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: may be on the way out. So there's a lot
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: of There could be a lot of turnover in the SEC.
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: Again. I mean that's I just mentioned three marquee jobs. Oh,
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: big time jobs.
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: It's gonna be interesting because I think Beamers coaching for
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: his life.
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: Oh oh yeah, and I forgot about Beember. Bamber doesn't
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: get over his over underwin total, which is six and
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: a half, I think he's fired. I don't think six
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: and six with Leonora Sellers keeps his job. I'll be
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: honest with you. I think he's got to go win
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: seven eight games. He's got State ann Auburn on there.
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: That's gonna be the swing game for all of these coaches.
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: That's gonna tell you who's going under and who's going over.
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: So that's gonna that is, I mean, just a fascinating
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: This's gonna be a really really fun season in Southeastern Conference.
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: I think clearly the Big Ten is the best. You
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: want to know, the most tired.
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: Two arguments of the summer mark since we're talking about
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: the SEC and the Big Ten, that we're gonna be
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: tired after a nine game schedule. And I don't think
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: the SEC should have gone to nine games. I think
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: they should have stayed at eight. They were already playing
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: a Power four team. But and then that the Big
• 6:48
  Speaker 2: Ten is winning because they can finally pay. Bitch, if
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: you don't think that Ohio State was paying players, or
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: Michigan or Oregon or sc man, I ain't got time
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: to talk to you. You're too stupid for me to
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: have a conversation with. So don't tell me that those
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: dudes ain't been paying. They've been paying, or they'd have
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: lost everybody. They'd never gotten anybody than any of the
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: big schools wanted. No, what the difference is is the
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: Big ten schools do have more money, and they have
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: bigger alumni bases, they have bigger fan bases, They have
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: more people that participate, and that is why they're winning.
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: It's going to be interesting to see what happens when
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: this number gets capped of what you can give, because
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: the Big ten is spending more money in a vast
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: majority of cases than a lot of the schools. The
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: mid tier SEC schools cannot spend what the mid tier
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: Big ten schools.
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: Look.
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: Mississippi State and Michigan State over the last twenty five
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: years really aren't that much different of a program when
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: it comes to winning and losing, and Michigan State cannot
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: spend Mississippi State ten to one. I mean, they got
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: significantly more money than't we do.
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: If Michigan State, if he gets that thing on the
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: rails and show some promise like.
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: They'll start spending money, they'll spend Indiana money.
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I would agree with that.
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: Yeah so I so, I think those are the two
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: most tired arguments. So tired of hearing them. Let's go play,
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: let's get it, let's have.
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: Some fun, let's get this still going.
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: So if you're looking at the over underwin totals and
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: and that holds true with rosters, really you kind of
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: got this conference broken down into a couple of tiers.
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: Tier one to me is Georgia and Texas. If you
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: look at those two teams on paper, I think they're
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: the two best rosters ready to try to compete for
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: the national championships this year. Books would tell you that
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: over under win total for both of these teams is
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: at ten and a half. If y'all have listened to
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: this podcast for the eighteen years we've been doing it now,
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: I don't like to bet over. It's very often. I
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: took an IOWA one in our first podcast, But it's
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: hard to win because you got to stay healthy and
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: you've got to get things done. It's a long season,
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: and I think adding in an extra game to these,
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: you know, a conference game, is gonna make it tough.
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: And so if you're I'm just gonna tell you now anybody,
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: that it's gonna require to win ten games in the SEC,
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: which right now Tennessee, Alabama, Texas, A and M Texas
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: and Georgia all have win totals above nine and a half,
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: I would tell you I don't think it's a bad
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: bet to go take the under on every single one
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: of those. I haven't looked at the juice. I don't
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: know what it's at But I'm just telling you there's
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: no way you're gonna get five teams in the SEC
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: that all win ten games.
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: Well, I will read this schedule to you, and I'll
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: tell you who I would be taking the who I
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: believe is a for sure under and I've already given
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: you a hint. I'm not gonna tell you any anything
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: other they open at home against East Carolina.
• 9:44
  Speaker 3: They're at Kentucky.
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: They have Florida State at home, South Carolina at home
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: at Mississippi State, Georgia at home at Tennessee, Texas A
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: and M at home at LSU, at Vanderbilt Chattanooga, and
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: all at home. You tell me that that sounds like
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: a ten win team, I don't think so. I don't
• 10:10
  Speaker 2: believe Alabama can win ten games with that schedule. I
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: don't think they're gonna be as good as LSU. I
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: don't think that the Auburn game is always a wild game.
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: I ain't Texas A and them is probably more talented
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: than them. They're on the road at Tennessee. George is
• 10:25
  Speaker 2: gonna beat them if they play and let the head
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: coaches and the assistant coaches wives referee the game. They're
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: at Mississippi State. I'm going to tell you something that
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: you remember. I told you this right now. I said beforehand,
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: if Mississippi State could win and get to four and oh,
• 10:41
  Speaker 2: they would give Tennessee all they could do last year,
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: I said they will. They will give them all they
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: want as one hundred percent right easy covering that game.
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: State should have won that football for two.
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: They gave us fourteen points on with their defense sitting
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: on the sideline, and none of them are special teams.
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: It was all off alternative returned interception for a turn touchdown,
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: return fumble for a touchdown. That was a difference in
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: that ballgame went to overtime. Uh in startbell. They're gonna
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: do the exact same thing to Alabama. This is the
• 11:11
  Speaker 2: first time they played them too close to schools together.
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: State fans are gonna be zeus. There will be as
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: many Alabama fans there. They will sleep walk through that
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: game because they've got Georgia right in front of them.
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: State will give them all they want. Whether they want
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: or not, I don't know. They're they're gonna beat South Carolina. Look,
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: they got crushed by Florida State last year. I mean crushed,
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: so I mean, I'm not gonna say anything. They're gonna
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: get a haymaker when they go to Lexington. I think
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: they're gonna win it. I'm not saying they're gonna lose
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: that game, but that you talk about Stein giving a
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: chance to come out of the box, he's gonna throw
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: everything that got at him. And this is an Oregon guy,
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: but he's also a he's also a Louisville guy, an
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: nex an ex quarterback that is that understands that state.
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: If somebody can win up there, I think he may
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: be the guy who can do it, especially.
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: Coming in with his pa.
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: Agree.
• 12:00
  Speaker 2: So I just don't think this schedule sets up good
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: for Alabama. Give me under on their win total when
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: that thing popped up to because they're at nine and
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: a half, now, right, isn't that right?
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: Uh? Yeah? So when you so when.
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: That thing popped up there because they opened, I mean, heck,
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: they opened at eight and a half. That's a bunch
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: of drunk Bama fans. Oh they're gonna be great. There's
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: no way they get the quarterback play they had last year.
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: There's zero chances they're gonna be as good a quarterback
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: as they were last year. And I don't think this.
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: And look they you go look at points lost in
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: the NFL draft. There's a few things that Phil still
• 12:33
  Speaker 2: still does well. In this era of college of the transferable,
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: Bama lost as many points as anybody in the NFL draft.
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: It's a huge number.
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: So look, they got a lot of people to replace too,
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: and so I still have not seen it. Can he
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: get it done in this league? I don't know that
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: average football. I don't think they were a playoff team
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: last year. Candidly, I really don't.
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: I don't know. I've kind of I liked Bor and
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: I would rather seen Notre Dame in the playoff than them.
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: I think Notre Dame would chance to make noise.
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: Totally agree with that sent. All right, let's talk about
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: a couple of teams here. I think you got Texas
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: and Georgia at the top. Texas roster wise, you've got
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: obviously they improved at the position players on the offensive team.
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: They brought in Hollywood Smothers from North Carolina State. They
• 13:26
  Speaker 1: already were stacked in that running back room. Cam Coleman
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: transfers over from Auburn. Obviously, you've got Arch Manning coming back.
• 13:33
  Speaker 1: I know Arch caught a lot of bad hype because
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: early in the season, folks, his first game he stepped
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: on the field, he was playing Ohio State in the
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: shoot and that's the game that most people remember. They didn't,
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: you know. And then the following week, I think he
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: was playing UTEP for somebody. Wendy wasn't great, But as
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: the season went on, you could see he got more comfortable.
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: That offense evolved. But this Texas team, I think he
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: got a couple of things going here. Offensive linely good,
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: looks good. I like what they've done here. I think
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: that they've got a shit ton of talent, and I
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: think they can be as explosive as they want to.
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: I think with Arch coming back for his second year,
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not gonna bet him for the Heisman
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: because the odds aren't very good on it, but with
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: what's in play, this is a big year. I think
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: if Sark doesn't make the playoffs this year, I'm pretty
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: sure he's gonna get fired. And that defense is gonna
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: be good too. You've got Colin Simmons lines up at
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: defensive end, the defensive coordinator, the way they've got. He
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: loves to put his best players in space. They'll run
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: a funny d where they'll stack one side heavy and
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: leave that kid out there kind of on his own
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: and let him work. And he can do it, and
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: he knows he can do it. He's gonna be a
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: first round draft pick when he gets out there trying
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: to win that he tried to win the sack championship
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: for the season. And so I like Texas, I wouldn't
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: go over ten and a half wins with them. I
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: would probably actually lead to the under. They play Ohio
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: State in Austin game two, then they got to buy that.
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: They got the Red River game, and then they go
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: on a long run. And this is where I think
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: their schedule gets real interesting. They play eight games.
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: In a row, no doubt.
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: And in college when you play that many games in
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: a row, historically the teams at the end they just
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: run out of gas. Well, who do they have. The
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: last end of that run is LSU in Baton Rouge.
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: They come home to Arkansas and then on a short
• 15:23
  Speaker 1: week they got to go to College Station and so
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: that's a tough end of this season. And that's that's
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: gonna be a game seven, eight, and nine in a row.
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: They're gonna have that right one, two, three, four, five, Yes, yes, yeah,
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: So that's gonna be game six, seven and eight that
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: they've got right there at the end. And so do
• 15:41
  Speaker 1: you think I'm gonna have an Arkansas ticket to cover
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: when they're getting Probably if they beat LSU, Texas will
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: probably laying twenty eight points in that game at least,
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: And yeah, I could see a backdoor cover from Arkansas
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: in that one. So do I like Texas? I like
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: Texas a lot. I would tell you I would probably
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: BETE to get into the National Championship Tournament because I
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: do think they will, but I like them a lot.
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: The team I like the most in that top tier
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: is Georgia, though, because I think Georgia's schedule sets up
• 16:11
  Speaker 1: extremely manageable. Their byfalls mid to end of season, and
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: then the other thing I really like about Georgia's schedule
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: is they finish the season with Missouri, at South Carolina
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: and Georgia Tech. All three of those teams, in my opinion,
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: are going to be down from what they have been historically,
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: and so I think that they even if they don't
• 16:31
  Speaker 1: make it into the SEC Championship game, I think their
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: season sets up awesome for them to go into the
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: national Championship. They bring back their quarterback, Gunner Stockton comes back,
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: which there's not a whole lot of teams that are
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: bringing back an OC, a head coach and a quarterback.
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: He comes back to this team. They've got a fucking
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: loaded tight end room. I don't know where Kirby Smart
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: finds all these tight ends, but he's got them. And
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: I just look at this team and it's real, real
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: quiet out of Athens. You haven't heard anything about this team,
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: and that to me just means they kind of going
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: on down there. So if I'm taking the top two teams,
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: I would take Georgia probably is my favorite to win
• 17:13
  Speaker 1: the SEC Championship. I think they've got the best, probably
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: second best roster behind Texas, but I think their schedule
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: sets up in a way that's way more manageable than
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: than Texas does.
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: One hundred percent agree with your everything you said on
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: the schedule. Look, I like Georgia here. Listen to these
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: road games, right, they're at Arkansas, at Alabama, we'll call
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: Florida of neutral. That's still kind of a road at Old.
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: No. No, they moved that game. They moved that game.
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: They're playing that game in Atlanta.
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: This year, they are playing it in Atlanta. I knew
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: they were, but I'll still I won't call. Of course,
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: it probably is a home game, but the but they've
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: only got four true road games.
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: Of those road games, two of them they're playing two
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: of the four worst teams at what I think worse
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: four teams in the league, Arkansas and South Carolina. So
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: I mean you're talking good wins. I there's no way
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: they're not gonna game plan for Trinidad Chambell except for
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: what they did will surprise me if they don't win there.
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: And I don't think Alabama can beat them at home.
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: This team's got a legit chance to go undefeated. Eleven
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: and one looks like a win.
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: I agree with you.
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: I like Texas is under. You're telling me you think
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: they're gonna You're telling me Ohio State at home Oklahoma
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: and Dallas, Ole Miss at home at LSU and at
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: A and M. With two of those final two being
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: in three weeks at games six and eight of an
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: eight game stretch to end the season. You're telling me
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: they're not gonna lose two of those games. Longhorns going
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: ten and two, they may go nine to three because
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: I don't think they're gonna be Look, if they beat
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: Ohio State to start the year, this team is as
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: good as anybody, and if they stay healthy, he's gonna
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: win it. You're gonna know week two what this team's
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: got it. Like last year, we knew what they had
• 19:02
  Speaker 2: and you saw this team's got problems. They can't move
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: the football against a good defense. Well, what are they
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: gonna be able to do? That defense isn't This offense
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: should be explosive, But are they gonna be able? And
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: I think their defense is gonna be really good? Candidly,
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: are they gonna be able to stop what's gonna be
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: a really really explosive offense.
• 19:21
  Speaker 3: So exciting game there.
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: I think if they're going over the if they're going
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: over ten and a half, they gotta beat O.
• 19:27
  Speaker 1: Iivestate.
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: That's my honest opinion.
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: I think there's a chance they lose two other games
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: through that stretch.
• 19:34
  Speaker 1: I totally agree with you. I totally agree with you
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: all that. So those are the top two. I like both,
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: I mean I like both those rosters. I wouldn't be
• 19:41
  Speaker 1: surprised a bit for both of those teams to make
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: it into the National Championship tournament. Those are your two
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: teams that are favored to win the SEC. Last I look,
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: George's plus two to fifty, Texas is plus three twenty
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: five somewhere in there to win the SEC. I probably
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: wouldn't take either one of those teams, just because there's
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: too much variance, and again there's no benefit to winning.
• 20:01
  Speaker 1: There's no benefit to winning your conference championship, and so
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't get down with it. The team that I
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: would tell you that I like, if you're going to
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: make a flyer to win the SEC, I would take
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: the Oklahoma Senters.
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: I agree seven and a half. And I mentioned it yesterday.
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: Is there is to me the best value in this
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: conference on it over under win total.
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: I agree, and you can get them. I've seen a book.
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: I was in Louisiana and I bet fifty bucks on
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: twenty five to one for them to win the SEC.
• 20:34
  Speaker 1: And reason being is I like what you've got there.
• 20:37
  Speaker 1: That defense was dog solid last year. I think it's
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: actually going to probably be as good, if not improved.
• 20:43
  Speaker 1: And last year to me, for venables, you and I
• 20:46
  Speaker 1: went into it last season and you called it. You said,
• 20:50
  Speaker 1: I don't know if he's going to make it through
• 20:51
  Speaker 1: the year. And Matier came in. They also brought in
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: the offensive coordinator from Washington State. They were a package deal,
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: and then my tier got hurt and their whole offense changed.
• 21:03
  Speaker 1: And I listened to him in an interview and he
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: talked about like he was literally felt like he was
• 21:08
  Speaker 1: trying to handle the ball with two fingers as most
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: of the season after that injury. And so the fact
• 21:14
  Speaker 1: that that team was able to pull it together, stay
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: in games, make the tournament, and get there, I thought
• 21:21
  Speaker 1: was a true testament to the character of that roster,
• 21:24
  Speaker 1: the coaching staff and everything else. And so the fact
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: that this year they get my tear back, he seemed
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: you talked about it earlier. He's ripped, he seems jacked,
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: He's ready to go show what he can do. And
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: then that defense is still going to be solid. I
• 21:37
  Speaker 1: think this is I was shocked when I saw seven
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: and a half was the win total on this team.
• 21:42
  Speaker 1: This is probably my favorite play of all the SEC plays.
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: If you're looking to take it over, would be Oklahoma.
• 21:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah. I don't disagree with you.
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: Look, they got seven true starters back on defense, and
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: then of course you go in and you add in
• 21:56
  Speaker 2: the transfers and things like that where they brought in
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: some good play. I think this is gonna be vinables
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: best defense. I think it's gonna be his best defense,
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: long shot. And then you mix sim Matier, who's a
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: talented player who's got another year under his belt. This
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: is a really experienced player at this point as well,
• 22:13
  Speaker 2: and that is a big part of it.
• 22:16
  Speaker 3: I like their run game. I like Blaylock the sophomore.
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: I think he's a good I think he's a good
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: little back. He's stocky, hard to bring down. I think
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: he's a good player. So I think they've got some
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: good things going from an offensive standpoint, but I think
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: his defense is what's gonna be the difference for them
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: because I think it's gonna take one more step just
• 22:37
  Speaker 2: like it did last year. And if this defense is
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: that good, I keep saying this, the teams that are
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: winning in this environment are playing great defense. They're playing
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: great They're not going to giving up forty They're not
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: winning forty five thirty eight, you know what I mean.
• 22:51
  Speaker 3: They're pounding, they can't move the football on.
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: Them, and I think this Oklahoma defense has got a
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: chance to be that team. If this offense can score
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: twenty five twenty eight game, they're gonna win a lot,
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: a whole lot.
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: Let's talk about other team here in Texas, the Aggies,
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: Texas eight and four man have I bet their win
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: total over eight and a half so many damn times,
• 23:14
  Speaker 1: and I tell myself, I'm not have you ever wanted
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: one time? One time? I'm not doing it again. I
• 23:21
  Speaker 1: won my ticket last year and I said I wasn't
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: ever due, and I'm not. The current lines that I'm seeing.
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: I'm seeing A and M's win total over nine and
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: a half is what I've looked at a couple of books,
• 23:32
  Speaker 1: which I was kind of surprised about. And then I
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: dug into their schedule and you know, I think you
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: said it. You know this team's gonna go as far
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: as Marcel Reid can carry you.
• 23:41
  Speaker 3: Yep.
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: I kind of look at this team a little bit,
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: a little bit Texas techish from last year in a
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: sense that that team was going to go as far
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: as Baron Morton could carry it at the quarterback play
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: and with Red, you know, I sometimes I think confidence wise,
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: he seems comfortable in there, but I I just don't
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: know if he's the guy that's gonna be able to
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: win those games. Now, their schedule is is great. I mean,
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: they open up at home three games they should win.
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: They go two baton Rouge and play there, and I
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: think you could probably bet that those teams are going
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: to be fairly even. I would guess LSU will be
• 24:17
  Speaker 1: favored in that one just because they're gonna be at home.
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: They catch Alabama towards the end of that run again
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: on the road, then they've got a vibe, and then
• 24:25
  Speaker 1: they finish up with Tennessee at Oklahoma and Texas and
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: so those are their three big games are right back
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: there at the end of that schedule. But again, how
• 24:34
  Speaker 1: it plays out is I think their schedule is pretty
• 24:37
  Speaker 1: advantageous to who they are because after that LSU game,
• 24:40
  Speaker 1: Arkansas is gonna blow Missouri. I don't know what we're
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: gonna get. They got the in the Citadel. And so
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: do I want to bet nine and a half over
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: nine and a half? No, I do not want to
• 24:51
  Speaker 1: do that. But I do think that this schedule sets
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: up where this team could win nine should win nine games,
• 24:59
  Speaker 1: no question, and can they get into the playoffs at
• 25:03
  Speaker 1: ninety three? I don't know, because at that point you
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: start talking about who's the sexiest person in the room,
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: and you may have a couple of teams that are
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: nine and three in this conference at that point. And
• 25:14
  Speaker 1: so I think it's gonna be really interesting to see
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: how the breakdown goes. I think we're gonna have a
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: little bit of that Notre Dame Miami issue that we
• 25:22
  Speaker 1: did last year, but this year is it's gonna play
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: out in the SEC because I think there will be
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: a ninety three team in the SEC to make the turn.
• 25:31
  Speaker 3: I do think that they got a chance to be
• 25:33
  Speaker 3: really good. Good on defense.
• 25:34
  Speaker 2: I got eight starters back, you got a defensive coordinator,
• 25:37
  Speaker 2: guy who's head coach. That's the mentality that he wants
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: to play hard nosed. That's all about Marcel Reid.
• 25:44
  Speaker 3: You know it.
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: I mean Mark, he was so I mean ill. I'm
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: not even an Aggie fan. Fact, I hate the Aggies.
• 25:54
  Speaker 3: Literally.
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: I am still shell shocked at how awful he was
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: throwing the football against Miami. There was no way for
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: that team to lose the game except that Marcel Reid
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: was completely They started trying to call wide receiver screens
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: where he's just stepping and just throwing it to the
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: wide receiver he was in. He was bouncing those two them.
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: I mean, everybody's like, all, it's really Wendy. It ain't
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: that damn Wendy. That's a bowl. I don't care how
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: hard the flags are blowing at the top of the stadium,
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: it ain't that Wendy in there. I mean, it was
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: awful and amazingly Miami's quarterback could complete those same passes.
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: You know, Reed was terrible. He's the only reason they
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: lost that game. He's the only reason Miami didn't lose
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: their first playoff game. And yet you look and here
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: we are talking about the Aggies and how far can
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: they go and it's the exact same situation. Well, my
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: last reference point was game thirteen, and he was as
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: awful as he was mid season. A year and a
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: half before that, he looked like the same cat. And
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: yes he is extremely talented, Yes he is probably a
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: great kid, but man, he's gonna have to show me.
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: I am buying into the Aggies until I see Marcel
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: Reid actually be able to beat some teams. But man,
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: you gotta love them. You gotta love this schedule. I mean,
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: look at that you don't think the SEC wants them
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: to be good. Listen to this. Kentucky at home, Arkansas
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: at home, Tennessee at home, Texas at home.
• 27:35
  Speaker 3: Now I know they the Texas came. They're rotating.
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: They're at Oklahoma, at South Carolina, at Bama, and at Missouri.
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: It's gonna be gonna be And at LSU they're a
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: step back. They've got Arkansas, South Carolina that they're that
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: in Kentucky. That's three of the four worst teams in
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: the league, you know, I mean, you can't get a
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: better schedule. Their non conferences must Uri State, Arizona State,
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: and Citadel. That's six wins right there. I mean, you're
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: you are talking. But then, man, they gotta beat some
• 28:10
  Speaker 2: they gotta beat some people at Alabama, at Oklahoma, at
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: l s U.
• 28:13
  Speaker 3: That's probably three losses right there. Mark, Now I think that.
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: Now, I don't candidly tell you they're gonna have a
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: chance to win at l s U at LSU game,
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: you know that's gonna be a great ball game early
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: in the year, but that is that's gonna be a
• 28:26
  Speaker 2: huge game.
• 28:28
  Speaker 1: I completely agree with everything you're putting down. I'm with
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: you on this, So uh going from there talking about
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: the LSU Tigers. Obviously, this team's got a lot of notoriety.
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: Lane Kiffin I said he's gonna stay off of Twitter.
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: I think this team's got a tremendous amount of talent.
• 28:49
  Speaker 1: I don't think Sam Levitt's healthy personally. I think the
• 28:54
  Speaker 1: thing he's lucky Kiffen's lucky about that. You're gonna laugh
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: when I tell you this is that Brendon Soresby girlfriend
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: went to l s U and he went there instead
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: of going the LSU because excuse me, his girlfriend went
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: to Texas Tech instead LSU, because you can't he wanted
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: sores Me.
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure look to each other at TEP basketball game,
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: this is not who he wanted for his quarterback.
• 29:23
  Speaker 1: So anyway, I with that. But this LSU team, to me,
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: is fascinating. I think this team could be really good.
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: Surprising teams. Uh, their schedule sets up in a way
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: that they go on a long stretch run, but the
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: middle of their schedules not difficult. I mean, they open
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: up Clemson in their Death Valley. I think that's a
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: winnable game. I'm not high on Clemson at all. They
• 29:45
  Speaker 1: go to Old Miss. That'll be must watch TV week?
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: Will that not be fun TV? Have you seen what
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: Old Miss is doing?
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: No?
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: They got Ella Langley playing Thursday night before that nights
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: they they've got deal going on Friday. I can't remember
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: what they're doing. And then of course you know it's
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: the ball game on Saturday, and I'm gonna be stunned
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: if that's not game day, I will be stunned. And
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: and so ole missus. Look, they're throwing everything at L
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: s U that they can physically throw, and and then
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: LUs she's got to come back and play an A
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: and M team that ain't play the damn soul and
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: gonna after that, I mean, they could be two and
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: two and be a really really good football team.
• 30:32
  Speaker 1: I completely agree with you, because after that, their schedules. Actually,
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: those next four games are all easy to me.
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's the three of the three of four or
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: five horse teams in the Southeast Conference.
• 30:45
  Speaker 1: So their schedule sets up. I mean, that's the funny
• 30:48
  Speaker 1: thing is they could fucking they could lay an egg
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: and Old Miss turn around and get beat by A
• 30:53
  Speaker 1: and M at home, and everybody's gonna throw this team
• 30:57
  Speaker 1: in the garbage. Then they're gonna get real quiet, because
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: no one's gonna fucking watch those games in the middle
• 31:02
  Speaker 1: of the season unless you're a fan of the other team.
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: And next thing you know, at the end of the year,
• 31:06
  Speaker 1: they wrap up and they've got Bama, Texas, Tennessee and
• 31:09
  Speaker 1: Archy and then you somehow go three and one through
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: there and man, put a rose in their hair because
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: they they may get a chance to go to the dance.
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: Baby's hey, I.
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: Will tell I will tell you this, and you need
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: to put to everybody. And he's put this in their
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: calendar talking about the eight week stretch. They're at Auburn
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: October twenty fourth, no off week, eight week run. It's
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: a better it's a better rivalry than people realize. If
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: you've not followed the Southeastern Conference for long. Uh the Dog.
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: Look this first time they played since I think it's
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: twenty three, but uh the Dog is covered seven straight
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: in this series with I hang on, I wrote this down,
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: hang on, let me find find it.
• 31:53
  Speaker 3: With five outright upsets? How about that?
• 31:58
  Speaker 2: And look, you start for eight weeks, I mean it
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: starts getting rough. It's hard to cover one some games
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: like this last year you put a note on that
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: if Auburn's playing well. That's gonna be a really, really
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: tough game. And I'm telling you Auburn's got a chance
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: with just who they're bringing over to do well. You know,
• 32:16
  Speaker 2: to are they gonna go eight and four? No, But
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: as we'll talk about there, they're that team and what
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: I've called the lower echelon because I would say State, Kentucky, Arkansas, Auburn.
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: Who am I leaving out South Carolina? Those five teams
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: to me are the worst five in the league. Probably
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: probably Kentucky, I mean, then probably Florida next in Vandy.
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: All of those seven kind of right here what I
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: think are the worst seven teams in this league. I
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: think Florida's got a chance separated itself. I think Auburn
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: has a chance to separate itself as well, just because
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: of who they're bringing over. I think Bidham is gonna
• 32:59
  Speaker 2: be exciting. So that's the you know that, that's a
• 33:02
  Speaker 2: game to watch on this Selosue schedule.
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: Gotch you guys, got you? No, I got I got
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: what you laying down there all right rolling through here?
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: Give me the under on South Carolina. They ain't winning
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: six and a half games.
• 33:15
  Speaker 3: He's fired.
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: There's a good there's one book out that that still
• 33:19
  Speaker 1: has a seven and a half.
• 33:20
  Speaker 3: Well, I don't know if you can get that and
• 33:22
  Speaker 3: go get it immediately.
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: They've got some they got that fregate wide receiver and
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: defensive end. But you go look at Sellers numbers. Last year,
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: that offensive line was atrocious. And and and here's the
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: other thing. Let's not forget last year they had tape.
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: You're one. They didn't have any tape on Sellers. They
• 33:42
  Speaker 1: weren't sure what was gonna go on, how it was
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: going to go. They had they had tape last year,
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: and so he just you know, he didn't explode like
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: he did. His numbers weren't that bad. He just couldn't
• 33:51
  Speaker 1: change games. And so I'm under on them. We talked
• 33:55
  Speaker 1: about Oklahoma being the surprise team. Talk to me, how
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: those boys out there in eastern Tennessee rolling out there
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: in their road cone orange. What are we gonna get
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: from this squad? I mean, this team a couple of
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: years ago was I mean trending in the direction to
• 34:14
  Speaker 1: possibly start running the front end of the SEC East
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: And now we're kind of at that. Yeah, where are
• 34:22
  Speaker 1: we at on this one? I don't know?
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I look, man, I think this is one of
• 34:26
  Speaker 2: the more fascinating teams in the league. If you ask me,
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: they got seven starters back on both you know, on
• 34:34
  Speaker 2: both sides of the ball.
• 34:36
  Speaker 3: I mean, can they be good?
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, But I mean it's all gonna go based on quarterback.
• 34:43
  Speaker 2: I mean it is all you know is Brandon the
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: freshman gonna start, you know, big time recruit, you know,
• 34:50
  Speaker 2: does he You know, they've got the kid that was
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: the backup at Colorado that's come in. So I mean
• 34:55
  Speaker 2: it's you know, there's a bunch of you know, they
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: got a red shirt freshman and a true freshman that
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: basic clear top two on the depth chart. It looks like,
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: right now, can you really win in this league as
• 35:07
  Speaker 2: close as all these teams are with with those kinds
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: of with those kinds of quarterbacks.
• 35:13
  Speaker 3: I just don't know.
• 35:15
  Speaker 2: This team's fascinating to me. I candidly am selling on Tennessee.
• 35:22
  Speaker 2: But if you go back and look honestly for the
• 35:24
  Speaker 2: last twenty five years, how good's Tennessee really been?
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: That's my point.
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: I mean, k yeah, I mean it feels like this
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: is a team that the game has moved away from.
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: And if you look at Kassas State Tennessee is not
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: loaded with talent. The talent that is there is in
• 35:42
  Speaker 2: Nashville and Memphis, and there's a lot of schools that
• 35:45
  Speaker 2: are I mean, look, you're in Memphis. You got a
• 35:48
  Speaker 2: half dozen SEC schools that are closer to Memphis than Knoxville.
• 35:52
  Speaker 2: So I mean it's it is a I think that's
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: a tough place for the Balls to recruit. I don't
• 35:57
  Speaker 2: think Nashville is much better. And and you know that
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: that makes it. That makes it tough. I think on Tennessee.
• 36:04
  Speaker 2: They always made hay in the Carolinas when they were
• 36:08
  Speaker 2: in Georgia, when they were doing well and when they
• 36:11
  Speaker 2: were at their peak under former and that's just not
• 36:14
  Speaker 2: an option right now.
• 36:15
  Speaker 3: You've got too many good schools. You got Dabbo doing
• 36:17
  Speaker 3: what he's doing.
• 36:18
  Speaker 2: Uh, everybody recruits that Virginia North Carolina area now it
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: is a hot bed and they simply are I would
• 36:26
  Speaker 2: say probably fifth in the state of Georgia for players,
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: and it may be lower than that. So I mean,
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: because I think Notre Dame will come in and get
• 36:36
  Speaker 2: guys they want. I think Ohio State will come in
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: and get guys that they want over Tennessee. So uh,
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: I just don't know where this program's at. I am
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: mad on the volunteers. I guess that would be the
• 36:48
  Speaker 2: best way for me to say it. I think seven
• 36:49
  Speaker 2: and a half it's a pretty good number. So I
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: wouldn't want to touch it. If I was going to
• 36:54
  Speaker 2: touch it, it'd probably be under.
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: Gotcha. Gotcha? No, I I got what you're laying down there,
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: and I would I would tend to agree with you.
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: I don't. I don't have a clue on Tennessee. I
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: I frankly, I want them to be good. I like Josh.
• 37:11
  Speaker 1: I like the fact that you know, out there in
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: eastern Tennessee kind of in their corner of the world
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: out there. I like what you've got. So I'm cheering
• 37:18
  Speaker 1: for him, no opinion. Uh, flipping around, Let's get to Florida.
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: John some aer All coming over this team to me,
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: sleeping giant, and I think this program has got so
• 37:32
  Speaker 1: much behind it. You know, he comes in, he tells
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: DJ Lagway, hey man, thank you, but you are not
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: part of our plan. Going for work, which was a
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: big deal, like we had Gatorade contracts. He was in
• 37:43
  Speaker 1: Michael Jordan commercials Now he's at Taylor, you know, that's
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: gonna go. But he comes in here. I like Summer.
• 37:51
  Speaker 1: I think as far as a coach coming up the ranks, uh,
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: he is. I probably my favorite in coming into these
• 37:58
  Speaker 1: But at the same time time you go historically look
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: and Florida. You know, teams that come in with new
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: coaches in the NCC haven't done real well right off
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: the bat. I mean, it's a bigger it's a it's
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: a bigger animal there. You've got bigger teams even and
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: there's not a lot of down teams anymore. I mean
• 38:16
  Speaker 1: Vandy was forever and in park Lee, I think he's
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: going to figure out how to win five or six
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: games a year, you know, from what he's done. And
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: so looking at this Florida team, looking what he's guy,
• 38:27
  Speaker 1: looking at their schedule and how it lays out, I
• 38:30
  Speaker 1: think this team should be improved. But at the same time,
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: bro Old Miss Texas, Georgia, Oklahoma are all that sketchule.
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: That's a tough run that you've got there. And so
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: you know, what are your thoughts, what are your thoughts
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: on that one?
• 38:49
  Speaker 2: Well, I tell like you, I'm a huge John Summraw fan.
• 38:52
  Speaker 2: I'm still trying to figure out how hell Auburn Blue
• 38:55
  Speaker 2: hiring this guy? I mean you fired him and they
• 38:59
  Speaker 2: dicked around on thinking they had a chance at Kiffin.
• 39:03
  Speaker 2: I mean, what weuld they do? It was the most
• 39:08
  Speaker 2: obvious hire in America. He's from Alabama, he coached at Troy.
• 39:15
  Speaker 2: It's like you should have had that contract done before
• 39:18
  Speaker 2: some of these jobs were even open. I mean, I
• 39:21
  Speaker 2: certainly wouldn't have been waiting around on Kiffin. That's probably
• 39:25
  Speaker 2: the first guy I hired. He's probably one on my
• 39:28
  Speaker 2: board if I'm at Auburn. But what do they do?
• 39:33
  Speaker 2: They go dick around and almost didn't get Golish.
• 39:38
  Speaker 3: I mean, that's how they went far.
• 39:39
  Speaker 2: They got lucky to he wanted that job over Arkansas
• 39:43
  Speaker 2: is the only reason they got it. So, I mean,
• 39:45
  Speaker 2: you talk about a mess, but look, I think some
• 39:48
  Speaker 2: raw is great. I think long term he's gonna do a.
• 39:51
  Speaker 3: Really good job.
• 39:51
  Speaker 2: You listened to that guy talk, and this is still
• 39:54
  Speaker 2: a people business. You listen to that guy talk, you
• 39:57
  Speaker 2: want to go play for him. I mean, you want
• 40:00
  Speaker 2: to go run through a wall for that guy. And
• 40:03
  Speaker 2: I saw some people saying he disrespected the guy with
• 40:07
  Speaker 2: his phone rang and the meeting and all of that.
• 40:10
  Speaker 3: I don't think he disrespected the guy at all. Ain't
• 40:13
  Speaker 3: cat's how the guy does his business. We'd have you run.
• 40:16
  Speaker 2: He's just saying, Man, this Saint sun Belt Billy anymore.
• 40:20
  Speaker 3: Buddy.
• 40:21
  Speaker 2: You know, this may be my first big time job,
• 40:24
  Speaker 2: but we're not gonna run it like that. I'm in
• 40:26
  Speaker 2: charge down here, and I think this guy is gonna
• 40:29
  Speaker 2: do a phenomenal job. It may not show up this year.
• 40:33
  Speaker 2: I do think their most interesting get is Eric Singleton
• 40:36
  Speaker 2: from Georgia Tech slash Auburn last year. That is a
• 40:39
  Speaker 2: really really good get for them. I think they've got it.
• 40:43
  Speaker 2: Uh you know, I think Dallas Wilson is a really
• 40:46
  Speaker 2: really talented Uh well, I think a lot of Look,
• 40:52
  Speaker 2: they've got some guys. Look they signed a guy from
• 40:55
  Speaker 2: my son's high school. That is I mean, the kid
• 40:58
  Speaker 2: got down there and ran. I think he ran a
• 40:59
  Speaker 2: four to two. Now the first thing they timed him
• 41:02
  Speaker 2: and the kids like six' one to. Ten i'm in
• 41:05
  Speaker 2: a complete. Freakazoid SO i mean they GOT i, mean
• 41:09
  Speaker 2: they got some guys that can that can. PLAY i
• 41:12

• 41:16

• 41:19
  Speaker 2: uh he's gonna Be he is going to be a

  Speaker 1: Mississippi state just. Reference we haven't talked About Dad, mullen
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: we haven't talked About Sylvester krume. Anything so tell me
• 46:34
  Speaker 1: and everybody else how The Mississippi state Ship. Dogs you're
• 46:39
  Speaker 1: gonna do? This You're Camarrio. Taylor you've got Jess.
• 46:41
  Speaker 2: Levy, Kamario taylor's Stud he's he's a he's a. Freak
• 46:46
  Speaker 2: he's the best ATHLETE i Think Mississippi state's ever. HAD i,
• 46:48
  Speaker 2: mean he's up there athletically with The Eric molds and
• 46:53
  Speaker 2: you know guys like. THAT i, mean it's the guy
• 46:55
  Speaker 2: is a. Freak team's gonna go as the offensive line.
• 46:58
  Speaker 2: GOES i do think this team's gonna be significantly better on. Defense,
• 47:02
  Speaker 2: yes some because the player personnel. Looked the best job
• 47:05
  Speaker 2: they did was Keeping Kelly jones that he didn't go
• 47:07
  Speaker 2: pro and that they convinced, him hey, man we can
• 47:10
  Speaker 2: make you a top ten guy if you come. Back
• 47:14
  Speaker 2: and you, know obviously changing coordinators helps that a lot
• 47:17
  Speaker 2: because they're going to get him in some one on one.
• 47:20
  Speaker 2: Situations teams were just throwing away from. Him he wasn't
• 47:24
  Speaker 2: getting to really show what he could do every. Play
• 47:26
  Speaker 2: AND i, think you, know this coaching, Staff Zach, garnett
• 47:29
  Speaker 2: is going to put him in some spots, where, hey,
• 47:31
  Speaker 2: big where he's the only guy that they can throw
• 47:33
  Speaker 2: at because that's what he's gonna want him to do
• 47:36
  Speaker 2: because they believe in. Him but this team's gonna go
• 47:38
  Speaker 2: as the offensive line. Goes Zach garnett coming back some
• 47:40
  Speaker 2: best Tire levy could have. Made this coaching staff is
• 47:43
  Speaker 2: really good with people not on the. Staff they brought
• 47:46
  Speaker 2: In Philip montgomery as an offensive. Analyst they brought In
• 47:50
  Speaker 2: they've still Got Paul, rhodes who was a really really
• 47:52
  Speaker 2: good football coach and a really good defensive. Coordinator now
• 47:56
  Speaker 2: they've Got Zach arnett. Back they brought back the linebackers
• 47:59
  Speaker 2: coach who was the defensive coordinator Under, ournette who was
• 48:02
  Speaker 2: the linebacker coach when he was the. Coordinator, uh they
• 48:05
  Speaker 2: brought him, back who was the coordinator At yukon last,
• 48:07
  Speaker 2: Year So Matt. Brock so they they've they've improved this staff.
• 48:12
  Speaker 2: Significantly Camaro taylor is a. Dude this team's gonna go
• 48:16
  Speaker 2: as far as this offensive line can. Go and you
• 48:18
  Speaker 2: know how. FAR i think that's gonna be about five wins, again.
• 48:23
  Speaker 1: And they were a good five win team last.
• 48:25
  Speaker 3: Year they look they could have won eight.
• 48:27
  Speaker 2: Games these for, instance closed these games At minnesota At
• 48:32
  Speaker 2: South back to back weeksteenth determines the. Season you'll know
• 48:38
  Speaker 2: What Mississippi state Is october. Third if they are one in,
• 48:42
  Speaker 2: four he's. Fired Camorrio taylor is sitting in the portal
• 48:46
  Speaker 2: because somebody's gonna pay him four or five million dollars
• 48:48
  Speaker 2: because he's, freak and that'll that'll be the end of this.
• 48:52
  Speaker 3: Deal because they're. You they're louis.

• 49:41
  Speaker 1: There a couple of, takes, man GET.
• 49:47
  Speaker 2: I don't THINK i think their defensive line is gonna

• 50:11
  Speaker 1: AND m makes it to The College Football playoff two
• 50:13
  Speaker 1: years in a. Row NO lsu makes it to The
• 50:18
  Speaker 1: College Football Playoff Lane kiffin's first.
• 50:21

• 50:45
  Speaker 4: Games, NO i love the positive negativity on all my
• 50:55
  Speaker 4: hot take questions That.
• 50:58
  Speaker 2: No you know WHAT i, Think, MARK i think the
• 51:01
  Speaker 2: two top teams at this leaguer head and shoulders better
• 51:03
  Speaker 2: than everybody.
• 51:04
  Speaker 3: ELSE i think the.
• 51:06
  Speaker 2: Next five or six teams are good football, teams but very.
• 51:10
  Speaker 2: Flawed you, Know Can Sam levitt get it? DONE i
• 51:15
  Speaker 2: mean that's WHAT i got to see with THE. Lsu
• 51:16
  Speaker 2: and because he's never gotten it, DONE i mean he
• 51:19
  Speaker 2: didn't do a damn thing two years ago When Arizona
• 51:21
  Speaker 2: state won that, GAME i was all. Scataboo and when
• 51:24
  Speaker 2: he got banged up in that playoff, game they had
• 51:26
  Speaker 2: a chance to Beat texas And levitt couldn't get it.
• 51:29
  Speaker 1: Done, Yeah, NO i agree my. Pick LIKE i, SAID
• 51:35
  Speaker 1: i came out early with it dark horse value play
• 51:38
  Speaker 1: to win THE. Sec give Me boomers sooner to do.
• 51:42
  Speaker 1: THAT i, think just from a betting, STANDPOINT i like their.
• 51:46
  Speaker 1: SCHEDULE i candidly think when they play At Michigan week,
• 51:52
  Speaker 1: two it's gonna be a great. GAME i like The
• 51:53
  Speaker 1: sooners there hoping MAYBE i can get. That oh you
• 51:57
  Speaker 1: maybe like a plus. Four we'll see as we get
• 52:00
  Speaker 1: into that. Game but that's my dark horse team to
• 52:03
  Speaker 1: win THE, sec just BECAUSE i like the odds twenty
• 52:06
  Speaker 1: five to. ONE i like that.
• 52:08
  Speaker 2: Odds Marco, MONTE i THINK i think THE sec gets
• 52:12
  Speaker 2: three max four teams in the. PLAYOFFS i don't know
• 52:15
  Speaker 2: that they're gonna get four BECAUSE i THINK, Iq, Oklahoma,
• 52:19
  Speaker 2: texas And georgia are all better football. TEAMS i think
• 52:23
  Speaker 2: those teams are gonna be head and. Shoulders they're gonna
• 52:25
  Speaker 2: beat the teams that are all right there with, them
• 52:28
  Speaker 2: that are those eight and a half nine game win.
• 52:30
  Speaker 2: Totals AND i think you're gonna have a bunch of
• 52:32
  Speaker 2: teams in this league with again a ninth conference, Game
• 52:36
  Speaker 2: so nine teams are gonna have one more loss than
• 52:39
  Speaker 2: they would and some of those teams are gonna be THE,
• 52:42
  Speaker 2: lsus The, tennessee The, bamas The TEXAS a AND ms
• 52:46
  Speaker 2: and those.
• 52:47
  Speaker 3: GUYS i think it is, very very, possible.
• 52:50
  Speaker 2: BECAUSE i will mix in to you and tell YOU
• 52:52
  Speaker 2: i think IF i THINK, LSU a AND m is
• 52:55
  Speaker 2: probably that next group of teams that are the that
• 53:00
  Speaker 2: have got a, chance And.
• 53:01
  Speaker 3: I'll mix Old missing there. TOO i just don't know
• 53:04
  Speaker 3: That golden.
• 53:05
  Speaker 2: IS i, mean it's hard for me to believe that
• 53:08
  Speaker 2: they're going to catch the magic in the bottle that
• 53:09
  Speaker 2: they caught last, year even though this roster is, really really.
• 53:12
  Speaker 2: Good but those three teams are the next three. Teams
• 53:15
  Speaker 2: somebody out of that can jump up and be the four.
• 53:18
  Speaker 2: Team that's my honest. Opinion but somebody's got to do.
• 53:21
  Speaker 2: It you look at, all miss, man they play all
• 53:23
  Speaker 2: these Teams i'm talking, about, yeah you, Know and that's to,
• 53:26
  Speaker 2: me that's one of the THINGS i don't like about The.
• 53:29
  Speaker 2: Rebels it is not their, talent it is not their.
• 53:31
  Speaker 2: Core they've also got a year of Watching. Chamblis they
• 53:34
  Speaker 2: had no film on that. Guy he comes in mid,
• 53:37
  Speaker 2: season AND i think teams had a hard time adjusting for.
• 53:40
  Speaker 2: Him they've been watching that cat non stop if he's
• 53:44
  Speaker 2: on their. Schedule but LIKE i, said they PLAY, lsu
• 53:47
  Speaker 2: they Play, florida they Play, texas they Played.
• 53:50
  Speaker 3: Georgia they Played.
• 53:51
  Speaker 2: OKLAHOMA i, mean that's a lot of the teams THEY
• 53:54
  Speaker 2: i MEAN i just, SAID i ain't three of those
• 53:56
  Speaker 2: teams are better than. THEM i think they're AND i
• 53:58
  Speaker 2: think those are three loss is does old myths they
• 54:02
  Speaker 2: lose those.
• 54:02
  Speaker 3: Three games get? IN i don't.
• 54:05
  Speaker 2: Know, no they if they if they lose TO lsu
• 54:07
  Speaker 2: at home and lose the, fourth well they definitely don't get.
• 54:10
  Speaker 2: In but do they if they BEAT lsu and their
• 54:14
  Speaker 2: nine and, three does that get them? IN i don't.
• 54:16
  Speaker 2: KNOW i just don't. Know BECAUSE i think USC's gonna
• 54:19
  Speaker 2: be and we'll get to The big. Ten BUT i
• 54:21
  Speaker 2: think USC's gonna be. IMPROVED i think The big ten
• 54:24
  Speaker 2: is still very very heavy with Those big three at the.
• 54:27
  Speaker 2: Top you, KNOW i think you've got four teams. THERE
• 54:31
  Speaker 2: i think there's no Doubt Notre dame's getting in this.
• 54:33
  Speaker 2: Time so you start getting down to that bottom and
• 54:37
  Speaker 2: all of a sudden you're, like, oh, man there may
• 54:39
  Speaker 2: be some situations Like texas And vanderbilt and those schools
• 54:44
  Speaker 2: that get left out at nine and.
• 54:45
  Speaker 1: Three, well AND i made reference to this on our kickoff,
• 54:49
  Speaker 1: episode but just in case you didn't know on how
• 54:53
  Speaker 1: The Notre dame bilt works and WHY i Bet Notre
• 54:56
  Speaker 1: dame to win the national. Championship If Notre dame finishes
• 54:59
  Speaker 1: in the top twelve, ranking they're automatically in thereatic they're. In,
• 55:05
  Speaker 1: SO i, mean it's it's it's not.
• 55:08
  Speaker 3: Fair But.
• 55:11
  Speaker 1: Notre dame is state independent and held their held their
• 55:14
  Speaker 1: guard and they've got a good product where many many
• 55:18
  Speaker 1: years of bad, product they've got a good. Product they
• 55:21
  Speaker 1: understand where the sport's. GOING i don't know if you've
• 55:24
  Speaker 1: seen their new locker room and football facilities since they've redone, them.
• 55:28
  Speaker 3: But, oh it's. Incredible they they're.
• 55:30
  Speaker 1: Creating them like a monster that really hasn't existed even
• 55:35
  Speaker 1: in our. LIFETIMES i really think, SO i, mean WE'RE
• 55:37
  Speaker 1: i Think Notre dame is has created has brought back
• 55:40
  Speaker 1: the chances of having a national brand that's going to
• 55:43
  Speaker 1: be able to grow over the next five to ten.
• 55:45
  Speaker 1: Years AND i Think Marcus freman leading.
• 55:48

• 56:59
  Speaker 3: Have and you have been saying this for years that.
• 57:02
  Speaker 2: The Big ten has always was always the second best,
• 57:05
  Speaker 2: conference but they were that there was a dimes dollar
• 57:08
  Speaker 2: of difference in those two. Leagues we have always felt
• 57:12
  Speaker 2: that way AND i still feel that, way you, know
• 57:17
  Speaker 2: just much because he's any national championships and beating them
• 57:22
  Speaker 2: in a lot of, cases and beating them ugly in some.
• 57:24
  Speaker 2: Cases people The big ten was just couldn't. Measure that was,
• 57:28
  Speaker 2: hogwash and it was, hogwash you. Know AND i think
• 57:33
  Speaker 2: people are seeing that bounce back a little bit the other,
• 57:35
  Speaker 2: way Candidlygue Big ten's finally they should have been playing
• 57:39
  Speaker 2: and and and the transfer portal and. Dollars hiddn't leave
• 57:46
