• 0:00
  Speaker 1: Let's start with 23 and 10. I think that's an
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: elimination game. Losers out.
• 0:04
  Speaker 2: It is.
• 0:05
  Speaker 3: It is because both teams will, wow, both teams already
• 0:11
  Speaker 3: have a loss.
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: Correct. SEC loss. Yeah, they're out.
• 0:15
  Speaker 3: They're going to be out of the mix.
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: With both of their schedules coming up, they're not going
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: to run the table. I think whoever loses this game
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: is officially out.
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: And it's only the.
• 0:22
  Speaker 3: Fourth game of the season, so a lot of heat
• 0:23
  Speaker 3: left from the schedule to your point.
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: Crazy, crazy. Texas at Tennessee, at Tennessee gives them a
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: big chance. That's a tough place to play. I'm so
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: curious to watch Brandon, the freshman, the freshman phenom for Tennessee.
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: Can he do it against Texas? Arch Manning, can he
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: put together a full game competitiveness? Tennessee's good. Texas is
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: really good. I don't know, man. Oklahoma at Georgia. Y'all
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: saw Oklahoma fell out of the top 25. Remember, Oklahoma
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: held on at 24 last week. They scored 14 points,
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: had less than 300 yards of offense. Mateer threw another
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: couple picks. It was ugly.
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: It was ugly.
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: And now what you get, your prize– that doesn't happen
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: very often, by the way. You don't see that against Oklahoma.
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: Oklahoma's defense is still top tier.
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: They buried sound.
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: Made this big play right here, bought a little bit
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: of time. Satania got behind the defense. But that was
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: a lot of the yardage. There was not a lot
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: of explosive plays. And they're going to have to continue
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: to find some of that, obviously. But at Georgia– I
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: think we're going to learn more about Georgia.
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: I do, too.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: How good is Georgia?
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: How good is Georgia?
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: I don't know how great Georgia is yet. I know
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: they're really, really good.
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: Mentally, also, as well.
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: Because this is a game, clearly, that Oklahoma can come
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: in and you can say, ah, they went up there
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: against Michigan.
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: You look at what happened last week.
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: But you can't fall prey to I tell you who
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: else won't fall afraid of getting caught.
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: It's gold gunner right there. The hamstrings are tight, but
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: he kept going.
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: He about passed out. He made some good plays from
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: the pocket. I like what I'm seeing from him. I
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: like his keeping his eyes down the field, looking to
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: pass more. We'll see vintage gunner running, but that Georgia
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: playing at home is a big deal. Ole Miss, how
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: about the bounce back? Like highs of highs. That is
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: the highest you can get, man. That first half, you
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: couldn't have played better. You couldn't have rode the momentum more. Now,
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: don't think Florida's asleep. You can't take three steps back.
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: You are an idiot.
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: You can get beat in this game.
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: Yes, you will.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: You absolutely can get beat in this game. The Ole
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: Miss secondary has given up a lot of plays. Florida's
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: going to score a lot of points. That could be
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: a fun, fun shootout. The SEC is littered. We didn't
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: even mention South Carolina, daggum, going to Bama, Missouri at
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: Mississippi State. By the way, elimination game. Elimination game. Whoever
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: loses that game is out. Like, they're done. And then
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: if you're going to go Big Ten, Oregon, you're cooked
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: ducks at USC. So they shouldn't even show up, right, Tequila?
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: They really should. No shot. And if USC loses this
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: game against Oregon.
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: You're out on them?
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: I'm totally out.
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: You're going to cook them next week.
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: No, they cook. They deep fry. We want to get
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: rid of them real fast.
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: Because there's no way they should be allowed to be
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: in the top 25.
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: After losing to Oregon.
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: But, you know, look at this other game over here, too.
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: Oklahoma State with West Virginia.
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: I love that game. And the Big 12. Like, this
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: is a huge Big 12 matchup.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: I got my cowboy hat, baby.
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: I know you do. I got my cowboy hat.
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: Oklahoma State. First of all, both those teams are alive
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: in this. The Big 12 is the most wide-open conference.
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: In college football.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: Like, so many teams that can win. It will be
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: absolutely fantastic to watch. But, Mestermaker. If you ain't been listening,
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: we've been talking about them over and over and over again.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: They got the run game going. Their defense is better
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: than I thought it would be. It's way, way ahead
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: of schedule for Oklahoma State. I thought it would be
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: like pray for a stop, but this offense is going
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: to score a lot of points. There could not be
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: any more contrasting styles, really, because West Virginia, they just
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: want to run it. Oklahoma State really wants to throw it,
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: but both of them play at breakneck pace as fast
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: as you possibly can. Who the heck is going to
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: hold up? Like, hold up. That's going to be a
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: lot of fun and a lot of plays.
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: This game is all about the trenches.
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: But the beautiful thing about both of these teams, they
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: both came with a new roster.
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: Like, I'm thinking about Oklahoma State. Completely new. Completely new.
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: Only one starter returned on the defensive side. They got
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: rid of everybody at West Virginia. They cleaned house.
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: Cleaned house.
• 4:41
  Speaker 3: So, for these guys to have the identity that what
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: is shaping up Going into week three of the season
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: has been very impressive, so that's going to be a
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: big game in the Big 12.
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: So you'll separate.
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: The SEC is going to find out how many contenders
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: they got this weekend because there's going to be a
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: lot that are going to be eliminated by playing head-to-head.
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: And remember, they'll have a nine-game conference schedule, so they're
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: just getting started. They did this to themselves.
