[00:00:28] Welcome back everybody to the latest episode of In The Flat Podcast. I'm your host Tony Kill, joined as always by Jordan and Jess.
[00:00:34] And we have some good games to cover for you this week. I think we have some, I would say, some surprising games, some games that went down to the wire, some teams that we still can't believe are undefeated, but they are.
[00:00:45] Then we have some good previews for upcoming Week 9 slate of games here in College Football. So let's run it back here to this past week first and go for some of the bigger contests of the week.
[00:00:58] Starting off first, we start with the Big 12 first. So BYU had a come from behind victory and beat Oklahoma State 38-35.
[00:01:06] I think it was on the, I would say one of the last plays of the game was like 15 seconds ago, if I recall correctly.
[00:01:12] And they were able to get the go-ahead touchdown and win this game.
[00:01:16] At the same time, Iowa State also came from behind and beat UCF 38-35, which is interesting. Same score, Big 12 stays undefeated.
[00:01:28] So let's open it up with these Big 12 teams. First question is, which Big 12 team do you think is going to win?
[00:01:36] BYU or Iowa State? And what do you think of these performances? We'll start over you, Jess.
[00:01:40] I mean, BYU has looked great so far this year.
[00:01:53] I mean, honestly, I think they might be my, like, I didn't see this coming.
[00:02:00] I forget if you have what you guys thought of BYU before the year. I did not expect them to win right now.
[00:02:07] I thought they'd be like these. Nothing like this, though. Yeah.
[00:02:08] They were like, they're currently ranked one in the AP Top 25. Do you guys have that pulled up right now?
[00:02:13] 11. Jesus, 11. Like, they are firmly in the playoffs right now.
[00:02:21] I mean, they had this close game against Oklahoma State. They came back, won it. Crazy ending.
[00:02:29] I mean, Oklahoma State finally decided to give the ball to Ollie Gordon and he had a good game. Wow.
[00:02:36] But BYU, I guess I would take BYU.
[00:02:41] All right. Jordan, how about you? Which one do you, which one do you more impressed with? Iowa State or BYU?
[00:02:45] I think I'm more impressed with the BYU. Just the wins they've had. They've really controlled games that, you know, Arizona just loves Arizona.
[00:02:56] And they blew them out. They blew out Kansas State.
[00:03:02] And they've played like they've played better teams. I feel like Arizona, Iowa State has played Iowa.
[00:03:08] And that's really it. And the biggest thing for me is Iowa State does still play Kansas State at the end of season.
[00:03:15] And I think that's going to be a tough game.
[00:03:19] So BYU right now controls its own destiny, controls just who they play.
[00:03:25] You know, like you say, they play whoever is in front of them.
[00:03:30] But they've beaten teams close, blown them out.
[00:03:34] SMU, they won by three.
[00:03:36] They won against Kansas State 38 to nine.
[00:03:39] And that was an all around showing of how, you know, dynamic BYU is.
[00:03:46] In all offense, defense, special teams.
[00:03:49] So it doesn't surprise me that BYU, it surprises me that BYU is where they are.
[00:03:55] But they're probably one of the most all around good teams that can do it all.
[00:04:03] And so I just think Iowa State is going to lose that Kansas State game just because I don't believe in Iowa State enough.
[00:04:14] Unless you're Tony. Tony loves Iowa State and Indiana.
[00:04:17] Two teams.
[00:04:18] Listen, I love Iowa State whenever they end up going bad.
[00:04:21] So I'm not going to say anything good about Iowa State this year.
[00:04:24] They're going to be terrible and maybe they'll have a good run.
[00:04:28] I will agree with you though.
[00:04:29] I think Iowa State, their schedule is a little more daunting.
[00:04:32] They have Texas Tech coming up on the second, which Texas Tech isn't playing pretty well.
[00:04:38] They have Utah, which you don't know what version of Utah you're ever going to get, but it's at Utah.
[00:04:42] So that's going to be a tough game.
[00:04:44] And then you have Kansas State in the season.
[00:04:46] So they, I mean, they have to win all three.
[00:04:48] I just don't know if that will happen.
[00:04:50] I can see them losing one or two of those games for sure.
[00:04:53] As far as BYU goes, I mean, their schedule, you know, they have Central Florida, which we'll talk about later,
[00:05:00] is it an upset special game or not?
[00:05:03] They have Utah on the ninth at Utah.
[00:05:06] Again, you just don't know what kind of game you're going to get with that Utah team.
[00:05:09] They fired their offensive coordinator now over the weekend, Utah did.
[00:05:14] And so are they going to change anything on the offensive side?
[00:05:16] Will they be able to get things going with the young quarterback with Cam rising out?
[00:05:20] You don't know.
[00:05:21] And then they go Kansas, Arizona State, Houston.
[00:05:24] I just, I could see BYU winning out here.
[00:05:26] I mean, the one I, the two games, Central Florida, Utah back to back, if they get through these two games,
[00:05:32] I mean, I'm pretty sure they can go undefeated the rest of the way and make it a playoff.
[00:05:35] So kudos to them for having a good, you know, good year in the Big 12 with Oklahoma and Nebraska and Texas not being there.
[00:05:44] All right.
[00:05:45] Let's keep it ahead here.
[00:05:46] Let's go to, you know, obviously the game of the week, college game maybe was there.
[00:05:49] That's Georgia, Texas.
[00:05:52] Georgia dominated this game for a big chunk of it, 23-0 in the halftime, if I recall correctly.
[00:05:58] And really, I mean, that defensive line was in the backfield of Texas all night.
[00:06:04] Texas couldn't get everything going.
[00:06:06] They benched Ewers.
[00:06:07] They put in Manny.
[00:06:09] They went back to Ewers.
[00:06:10] They needed some referee shenanigans to get some points.
[00:06:14] And they still lost 30-15 with all that.
[00:06:18] So, you know, I think I want to say I was the only one that picked Georgia last week.
[00:06:24] I can finally say I picked a game that went the right way.
[00:06:27] So I'm going to call that out as much as I can here.
[00:06:31] But I had to because Georgia is my national championship game pick.
[00:06:33] So that looks good today.
[00:06:34] I don't know if it's going to look good next week, but it looks good today.
[00:06:37] So, Jordan, what did you think of Georgia's win over Texas?
[00:06:42] Their defense, you know, finally showed up the whole game.
[00:06:47] They kind of carried this game.
[00:06:50] Carson Beck looked bad.
[00:06:53] Three interceptions.
[00:06:54] And he's lucky that their defense, and no touchdowns.
[00:06:59] So that's great.
[00:07:01] But he's lucky that their defense stepped up.
[00:07:04] I think Texas scored one touchdown in the, with, after an interception.
[00:07:12] And it was later in the game.
[00:07:13] The first two, the defense, you know, came clutch.
[00:07:18] They had the punt, and then they had the fumble, which led to a Georgia touchdown.
[00:07:25] So, huge.
[00:07:26] I'm thinking, I think Georgia had seven sacks, ten tackles for loss.
[00:07:30] Their defensive line played really, really well.
[00:07:34] Texas just looked kind of a, I don't know, a mess on offense.
[00:07:39] They couldn't get anything going.
[00:07:41] And when they did, I think I messaged you guys that one play where they went for it on third and five,
[00:07:49] and they ran it and just got stopped.
[00:07:51] And then they went out for it on fourth and five, when they should have just went for a field goal to get points on the board.
[00:07:58] I think right there is when the game kind of just went away.
[00:08:01] It was, Georgia was winning this game no matter what.
[00:08:05] So, I just think the play calls were kind of just not there for Texas.
[00:08:11] And I think Georgia's defense finally showed up.
[00:08:14] Defensive line, one of the best in the country, and it showed right there.
[00:08:19] So, big win for Georgia.
[00:08:21] Definitely needed to continue going.
[00:08:23] Not a horrible loss for Texas going down the stretch because it is Georgia.
[00:08:29] They're ranked, you know, in the top five.
[00:08:32] So, not anything bad for either.
[00:08:37] Good for Georgia.
[00:08:38] Not horrible for Texas.
[00:08:41] The score definitely shows that it was a lot, you know, it wasn't as close as the score shows.
[00:08:47] But just an all-around great game.
[00:08:51] Just not by Texas' offensive line.
[00:08:54] Jess, what did you think?
[00:08:56] I actually, I don't disagree with most of what Jordan said there,
[00:08:59] but I do disagree with something he said at the end that it wasn't as close as the game,
[00:09:05] as the score made it look.
[00:09:07] Jordan is a thousand percent correct with it.
[00:09:11] Georgia won this game in the trenches.
[00:09:14] They completely dominated Texas' offensive line, which up until this point,
[00:09:19] even against, you know, like say what you will about Michigan and their offense,
[00:09:23] but there's one thing they've got, it's a good defensive line.
[00:09:26] Texas was able to completely manhandle them.
[00:09:29] Georgia did not let them push them around in the line of scrimmage.
[00:09:33] However, Georgia's offense, you know, even outside of Carson Becksworth, they were just, they weren't good.
[00:09:40] Texas' defense did everything they could.
[00:09:45] Georgia got, I think it was like, they had, I think, six scoring drives or something like that.
[00:09:53] All but one of them were under like 34 yards of offense.
[00:10:00] Like it was crazy.
[00:10:01] They just had insane field position because of the defense.
[00:10:05] There was one drive where I think Georgia took over at Texas' 28 yard line and only got a field goal out of it.
[00:10:13] Texas' defense came to play.
[00:10:16] It wasn't like this was some complete game.
[00:10:20] This wasn't Georgia versus Clemson.
[00:10:23] This was not that.
[00:10:25] Georgia's offense had 64 yards, got like I think 24 of their points on 64 total yards.
[00:10:33] And their one scoring drive that they had that went beyond, that was more than 35 yards of offense, was like 60 yards of offense.
[00:10:44] But about 40 of it came on a trick play that they had.
[00:10:48] So again, it's not like Georgia just completely dominated this game, you know, in every way.
[00:10:56] And Texas just was completely under, unprepared.
[00:11:00] It was that Georgia, it was a bit more used to being in these kinds of games.
[00:11:05] I mean, they beat everybody that's not named Alabama, apparently.
[00:11:11] Texas was their offensive line struggled, but Texas' defense came to play.
[00:11:16] So I think if they meet again, I don't know if I'm, you know, I'm pretty confident in Texas' ability.
[00:11:24] But I think it'll be a very interesting game if these two meet again for the SEC title or in the playoffs or something.
[00:11:32] I think we're going to get the best out of both those teams if that happens.
[00:11:36] I don't think Texas is making it to the SEC championship, but that's just my own.
[00:11:41] You think it'll be Tennessee or something?
[00:11:44] Like who does?
[00:11:45] You think it'll be, what's the rest of the team in the schedule?
[00:11:50] Well, they have to play Texas at the end of the season.
[00:11:52] At the end of the season.
[00:11:53] But they need two losses not to make the SEC championship game.
[00:11:57] Well, I mean, if Texas only has one loss.
[00:11:59] No, I'm thinking of.
[00:12:00] You're wrong.
[00:12:01] Yeah, it'll be.
[00:12:03] But there's a lot of teams right now.
[00:12:05] Like Mizzou has one loss.
[00:12:07] Tennessee has one loss.
[00:12:08] Georgia has one loss.
[00:12:09] And the only teams that are undefeated are LSU and Texas A&M.
[00:12:12] And they play this game.
[00:12:14] Yeah, and they play.
[00:12:15] But then Texas, I mean, if Texas only has one loss moving forward and they meet A&M at the end of the year.
[00:12:21] I think A&M is going to beat Texas is what I'm saying, I guess.
[00:12:24] You think Texas A&M would beat Texas?
[00:12:27] I mean, I think Texas A&M has a better defensive line than Georgia.
[00:12:31] They probably have the best defensive line.
[00:12:34] Yeah, but do they have a good enough offensive line?
[00:12:40] Like, I think I don't know if.
[00:12:44] I mean, I still have faith that Texas is going to be.
[00:12:50] I think that offensive line, this was a wake up call for them, which is why I think it would be interesting if they play again.
[00:12:58] Like they Texas hasn't gotten punched in the mouth like that in in a while.
[00:13:05] Like even that game last year where they were stunned by Oklahoma, you know, that was still a high scoring, high flying down to the wire game.
[00:13:16] I think it'll be very interesting to see this week.
[00:13:19] I think it is.
[00:13:21] I think it is.
[00:13:21] Texas plays Vanderbilt.
[00:13:22] No, next week.
[00:13:23] No, they haven't gotten by this week.
[00:13:25] No, it's this week.
[00:13:25] I think it'll be very interesting to see how Texas.
[00:13:28] It's this weekend.
[00:13:29] Oh, it is this week.
[00:13:30] Sorry, I'm lost.
[00:13:31] Yeah, it's this weekend.
[00:13:32] I think it'll be very interesting to see how Texas responds.
[00:13:35] The biggest thing for me is if they go to Vandy and beat them though.
[00:13:39] So if you're not right, if if Texas and Texas A&M go into it, and this is the game that Texas needs to win to get in the SEC championship.
[00:13:50] I it's at Texas A&M.
[00:13:52] Mm hmm.
[00:13:53] I crowds.
[00:13:54] That's going to be.
[00:13:55] The blood will be in the water.
[00:13:58] Literally, that will be the loudest stadium ever.
[00:14:01] Oh my God.
[00:14:02] That that'll be if Texas A&M actually has a chance to go to the SEC championship game, which they've always dreamt of.
[00:14:09] Mm hmm.
[00:14:10] And to go to this and then you're going to if you win this, you go to the SEC championship where you can get a bye or you're you're making the playoffs.
[00:14:18] It is going to be the best game we we've ever seen.
[00:14:22] That I especially with hasn't like one is this going to be the first time in a number of years at Texas A&M.
[00:14:30] Yeah, they haven't played because they had because the Texas A&M went to the SEC.
[00:14:34] 12 thing.
[00:14:35] Yeah, and it'll be it might be a night game because it could be 330 or 430, but it's going to it could be pushed to six or eight.
[00:14:42] Yeah.
[00:14:42] Oh, there.
[00:14:42] If that's the state, they're pushing that game data.
[00:14:46] Oh, my God.
[00:14:48] That is that's going to have what's McCoy.
[00:14:52] That's going to have game day.
[00:14:54] That's going to have all of the.
[00:14:57] Oh, my God, that I think we'll know for sure what it we're going to see for sure this week this weekend.
[00:15:04] If LSU beats Texas A&M.
[00:15:06] If this game is at Texas A&M as well, we'll talk about a little later.
[00:15:10] All right.
[00:15:11] Let's move ahead here.
[00:15:12] Let's get to the what's we can say in SEC.
[00:15:15] Let's talk about Tennessee over Alabama.
[00:15:17] I'm going to be honest.
[00:15:18] I watched this game off and on.
[00:15:21] This game bored me.
[00:15:22] This is ugly slog fest of a game.
[00:15:26] I don't know what I expected of this game, but the defense offenses are functional to me.
[00:15:32] They both have spots where they've done really well, depending on who the opponent was.
[00:15:36] But like when they play decent defenses, they just don't seem to have a never gear to get going.
[00:15:42] And I think these quarterbacks are I just Joe Moroze is this.
[00:15:45] He's just not a quarterback.
[00:15:48] And Niko is just a young kid, so he needs some more time.
[00:15:52] But I mean, I guess I'm impressed with Tennessee, but I'm not really impressed with either one of these, I guess is what I'm saying.
[00:15:57] I mean, it's just ugly.
[00:15:59] I can see out of them getting a never loss or two before the end of this season is over.
[00:16:04] And Tennessee, somebody is going to beat them here relatively soon, in my opinion,
[00:16:10] as long as someone that has that offensive ability.
[00:16:13] So, Jess, what did you think of this one?
[00:16:17] Like you said, it was an ugly affair.
[00:16:20] Fourth quarter, though, things picked up, some big plays, some exciting moments.
[00:16:25] But I was both disappointed and impressed with Niko throughout the game.
[00:16:33] He looks young, he looks raw, but then there are just those throws where you're like,
[00:16:38] that right there, that is why he was this five-star, second in his class level recruit.
[00:16:49] I mean, it was, I think it was towards the end, I think it might have been that final touchdown,
[00:16:53] where he layered that throw beautifully up the sideline, just red basket perfectly out of reach of the defender.
[00:17:05] And it's like, that was, that was a beautiful throw.
[00:17:10] But, like you said, like, when Tennessee plays against these good defenses,
[00:17:18] and they're going to be going to Georgia later in the year.
[00:17:22] That Kentucky one is not one, I mean, Kentucky has played.
[00:17:25] Yeah, this Kentucky game isn't a gimme.
[00:17:28] Kentucky has shown that they play some tough defense.
[00:17:29] They have terrible offense, but their defense is good, which means it could be in every game,
[00:17:32] just like this, like the Arkansas game was that they lost.
[00:17:36] Like, it's, there, I could definitely see this Tennessee-Kentucky game being a 21 to 14, 21-10 kind of affair,
[00:17:46] but even then it doesn't feel like, like, it'll be a lot, it'll feel a lot closer than maybe the score suggests by the end of the game.
[00:17:55] Because of, you know, Tennessee's offensive struggles.
[00:17:59] But overall, I think, I think Alabama, if they were to make it, like, which of these two teams do I think would do better in the playoffs?
[00:18:09] I think it would be Alabama.
[00:18:12] I just think they have more talent overall.
[00:18:15] And, I mean, we've seen Jalen Milrow in these big games, these big spots.
[00:18:21] And, you know, he's going to have these multi-interception games it feels like, but he's also...
[00:18:26] He's just very high or low.
[00:18:27] You're not quite sure what you're going to get.
[00:18:29] He could win you, like, the biggest of the ball games, but lose you some of the smallest of the ball games.
[00:18:33] What he did against Georgia.
[00:18:34] I mean, that's what makes the...
[00:18:36] I mean, that's part of the beauty of college football, isn't it?
[00:18:39] Yeah.
[00:18:40] Like, one week, these guys are like, oh my god, this is a slogfest.
[00:18:46] And then the next week, it's like, you get Alabama, Georgia.
[00:18:50] And then one week, it's Alabama, Georgia.
[00:18:52] Next week, it's Alabama, Tennessee.
[00:18:54] But neither of these teams truly have blown me out of the water all year.
[00:18:58] But, I mean, good on Tennessee.
[00:19:03] Right.
[00:19:05] Jordan, any closing thoughts here on Tennessee, Alabama?
[00:19:07] Yeah.
[00:19:08] It's...
[00:19:09] This is the Alabama team that...
[00:19:10] It's the most undisciplined Alabama team I think I've ever seen.
[00:19:16] They've had 15 penalties this game.
[00:19:19] Tennessee was...
[00:19:20] Had 11.
[00:19:22] But, just go through the first...
[00:19:25] This is the first half play.
[00:19:27] Like, play-by-play.
[00:19:29] Punt.
[00:19:30] Alabama punt.
[00:19:31] Tennessee fumble.
[00:19:32] Alabama punt.
[00:19:33] Tennessee punt.
[00:19:34] Alabama interception.
[00:19:35] Tennessee missed field goal.
[00:19:36] Alabama touchdown.
[00:19:38] Tennessee interception.
[00:19:39] Alabama punt.
[00:19:40] Tennessee interception.
[00:19:42] Alabama punt.
[00:19:43] Missed field goal.
[00:19:44] Missed field goal.
[00:19:45] And the path.
[00:19:48] I was...
[00:19:49] I remember that.
[00:19:50] It was just a slog.
[00:19:51] Like, they just couldn't do anything.
[00:19:53] I...
[00:19:54] It's to me...
[00:19:56] It's...
[00:19:56] When you can't run the ball...
[00:19:59] Exactly.
[00:20:00] Like we talked about last week.
[00:20:02] Yeah.
[00:20:02] Tennessee won this game...
[00:20:04] I think...
[00:20:04] All because they had 220 rushing yards...
[00:20:07] Instead of 75.
[00:20:08] I really like Samson for them...
[00:20:09] The running back they have.
[00:20:10] I think he's good.
[00:20:11] I think Alabama's really missing that.
[00:20:13] I think.
[00:20:13] Yeah.
[00:20:14] He had 139 yards...
[00:20:16] For 26 carries and 2 touchdowns.
[00:20:18] When you can't run the ball...
[00:20:20] It doesn't open the game up.
[00:20:21] When Jalen Milrow...
[00:20:24] Can't...
[00:20:25] Run a speed...
[00:20:26] Run an option...
[00:20:27] At all...
[00:20:27] Or...
[00:20:28] Whatever...
[00:20:29] They're gonna run with him...
[00:20:30] It doesn't...
[00:20:32] You can't run the ball with your other running backs.
[00:20:34] It's not gonna work when you run the ball with Jalen Milrow.
[00:20:38] Yeah.
[00:20:39] So...
[00:20:39] That right there I think is why...
[00:20:42] Tennessee won this game 24-17.
[00:20:45] Tony had it wrong in our list.
[00:20:48] Yeah.
[00:20:49] Yeah.
[00:20:50] But...
[00:20:51] I just think that Tennessee...
[00:20:52] When it came out to play...
[00:20:53] Later in the game...
[00:20:55] Better than Alabama.
[00:20:57] I just don't know if...
[00:20:59] I think it's discipline.
[00:21:00] I think this team is just...
[00:21:02] Undisciplined right now.
[00:21:05] And...
[00:21:05] They're just not...
[00:21:07] The Nick Saban Alabamas we're used to seeing where...
[00:21:10] Nick Saban's gonna yell at you...
[00:21:12] Even if we're up 45 points to zero...
[00:21:15] He's gonna get on your case for anything you do wrong.
[00:21:17] Yeah.
[00:21:18] So...
[00:21:18] I just think Alabama is not in a good place.
[00:21:21] Jalen Milrow does not look like the quarterback we thought he was gonna be all season.
[00:21:26] And...
[00:21:27] Nico's young.
[00:21:29] He shows glimpses of being a great quarterback.
[00:21:33] But he also is young and playing in probably one of the tough...
[00:21:37] Not probably...
[00:21:38] One of the toughest divisions...
[00:21:40] Or conferences in college football.
[00:21:43] And their schedule is kinda rough.
[00:21:45] So...
[00:21:46] For what he...
[00:21:47] Where he is and...
[00:21:48] How young he is...
[00:21:49] He's looking like he should.
[00:21:52] Yep.
[00:21:53] But he is growing every game.
[00:21:55] He's looking better every game.
[00:21:58] Yep.
[00:21:59] He'll have to keep getting better and better here.
[00:22:01] Especially when they go to Georgia.
[00:22:02] This will be...
[00:22:03] Yeah.
[00:22:04] Florida...
[00:22:04] Basically gets to get a playoff I feel like.
[00:22:06] Tennessee Georgia.
[00:22:08] Alright.
[00:22:09] Next up...
[00:22:09] Let's go back to ACC.
[00:22:11] Miami outlasted Louisville 52-45.
[00:22:14] Cam Ward for four touchdowns.
[00:22:16] And Miami survives another crazy ball game with a...
[00:22:20] Basically a one possession win here.
[00:22:23] That's three weeks in a row...
[00:22:25] Or three games in a row for Miami doing that.
[00:22:27] But they have made it to 7-0.
[00:22:28] 3-0 in conference.
[00:22:30] Louisville has fallen off a little bit with losing three or last four games.
[00:22:35] So...
[00:22:35] Let's take it over to you Jordan.
[00:22:37] What did you think of this Miami win over Louisville?
[00:22:40] I...
[00:22:40] I think...
[00:22:43] Miami doesn't have a defense.
[00:22:45] Their Miami offense is electric.
[00:22:48] Cam Ward is...
[00:22:49] Electric.
[00:22:51] You know...
[00:22:52] He does it all.
[00:22:54] And...
[00:22:55] I think the biggest thing that's taking them back is that defense is letting these
[00:22:59] teams score a lot.
[00:23:02] And if their offense starts slow...
[00:23:05] Which...
[00:23:05] Honestly, this game was just a shootout.
[00:23:08] I don't think at any time...
[00:23:11] It could have went either way in my eyes.
[00:23:13] Louisville could have pulled it off.
[00:23:15] Miami pulled it off.
[00:23:17] I just think the defense is lacking at Miami.
[00:23:21] And that's gonna be the biggest thing, I think.
[00:23:23] I mean...
[00:23:24] At this point, they're playing the ACC championship game.
[00:23:27] Because I don't think they're gonna lose any of their...
[00:23:29] They might lose to Duke, but...
[00:23:31] They haven't played anybody with any semblance of a defense that played...
[00:23:35] Yeah.
[00:23:36] A reeling Florida team.
[00:23:37] Florida A&M.
[00:23:38] Ball State.
[00:23:39] South Florida.
[00:23:40] Virginia Tech.
[00:23:40] California.
[00:23:41] Louisville.
[00:23:42] None of those would be considered defensive powers by any chance.
[00:23:46] And I don't know if they have anybody on this schedule.
[00:23:48] They have Florida State.
[00:23:49] Duke.
[00:23:50] Georgia Tech.
[00:23:50] Wake Forest.
[00:23:51] Syracuse.
[00:23:52] At Georgia Tech, if Haynes King is back, it could be a shootout type of game.
[00:23:58] Syracuse...
[00:23:59] It's at Syracuse might be interesting, but I don't like...
[00:24:01] Nobody scares me from a defensive perspective to stop Cam Ward, so...
[00:24:06] It's that...
[00:24:07] I think going to the ACC game.
[00:24:09] Clemson against Clemson.
[00:24:10] I think that's gonna be the real test.
[00:24:12] And I think Miami's gonna show that their offense...
[00:24:16] Playing against a real defense is not gonna be able to show.
[00:24:19] Yeah.
[00:24:21] Jess, what'd you think here in Miami?
[00:24:24] I mean, I think coming into the year, I was the one that was highest on Miami.
[00:24:27] Um, I think I was the only one that had them making the playoffs.
[00:24:32] And...
[00:24:33] While...
[00:24:33] You know, I think...
[00:24:36] You can't...
[00:24:38] Discount the fact that they are pulling these games out.
[00:24:41] They are winning...
[00:24:43] They're not winning in ways that truly bestill confidence if they were to truly play another power.
[00:24:50] I think...
[00:24:52] I think...
[00:24:54] I think it is going to come down to Miami and Clemson in the ACC championship.
[00:25:00] And I think whoever loses that...
[00:25:05] Probably doesn't make the playoff.
[00:25:09] Cause...
[00:25:10] You know, the ACC hasn't been good this year.
[00:25:13] Uh...
[00:25:14] Clemson got embarrassed by Georgia.
[00:25:17] And granted...
[00:25:18] It's Georgia.
[00:25:20] You know, like...
[00:25:21] 99% of teams are getting embarrassed by Georgia.
[00:25:25] But the fact that...
[00:25:28] You know, Miami is squeaking out these wins against teams that...
[00:25:35] Sure, maybe they're better than we'll give them credit for.
[00:25:38] But if Miami is truly the sixth best team in the country...
[00:25:42] I think that's where they're ranked in the eight people...
[00:25:44] They should not be...
[00:25:46] Coming down to the wire...
[00:25:48] Against Cal and Louisville.
[00:25:50] And needing comeback wins.
[00:25:52] And...
[00:25:53] You know, Cam Ward looks great.
[00:25:56] But...
[00:25:57] You know, his...
[00:25:58] I'm just super chill about everything, every time...
[00:26:02] Attitude.
[00:26:03] Like...
[00:26:03] I don't know.
[00:26:04] Maybe his team...
[00:26:05] Maybe they need some fire, you know, lit under them.
[00:26:09] Or...
[00:26:09] I don't know.
[00:26:10] It's just...
[00:26:11] They're getting the wins.
[00:26:13] Can't take that away from them.
[00:26:15] But it's like when...
[00:26:16] It's not quite as bad as this.
[00:26:17] But like when Oregon was pulling out wins against Toledo.
[00:26:20] Where it's like...
[00:26:21] You shouldn't be needing to pull these wins out.
[00:26:25] Idaho.
[00:26:26] Thank you, Idaho.
[00:26:29] Um...
[00:26:29] You know, you shouldn't be struggling like this.
[00:26:34] Um...
[00:26:35] It's...
[00:26:36] It's not...
[00:26:38] They should be winning...
[00:26:41] Much easily.
[00:26:42] Much more easily.
[00:26:43] But they're just not.
[00:26:45] So...
[00:26:45] They're getting the wins.
[00:26:46] They survive in advance to the next week.
[00:26:49] But...
[00:26:50] It's gonna come back to bite them.
[00:26:51] It just is.
[00:26:52] Jess, did you say it's not as bad as Oregon?
[00:26:55] I would say it's...
[00:26:57] I think...
[00:26:58] Or...
[00:26:58] I'd say...
[00:26:59] Miami barely scraping out a win against Louisville.
[00:27:04] Is not as bad as Oregon barely scraping out a win against Idaho.
[00:27:08] Yeah, but it's happened...
[00:27:09] Like when you have it three times in a row.
[00:27:12] Where you...
[00:27:12] Honestly, you should've lost against Virginia Tech.
[00:27:15] You should've lost against Cal.
[00:27:17] Yes.
[00:27:18] But...
[00:27:19] The thing...
[00:27:19] The difference is Oregon goes and plays Ohio State and wins.
[00:27:25] Yeah, and I mean...
[00:27:27] Look, you don't know for a fact that if Miami goes and plays another like...
[00:27:31] Like let's just say a team that's on the...
[00:27:33] Like if they go in and beat Clemson, is that not a good win?
[00:27:37] Like...
[00:27:38] Obviously, I'm saying this because Oregon is the better team.
[00:27:42] Like if Oregon and Miami play, I'm taking Oregon and I'm not thinking twice about it.
[00:27:49] But what I'm saying is like...
[00:27:52] Theoretically, the talent gap between Miami and Louisville.
[00:27:56] Miami and Cal.
[00:27:58] Is not as vast as the talent gap between Oregon and Idaho.
[00:28:04] Or Oregon and Boise State.
[00:28:07] You know, like...
[00:28:08] But the rest of their team is not quite up to that level.
[00:28:13] But like...
[00:28:14] So what I'm trying to say is that...
[00:28:17] Like...
[00:28:18] We...
[00:28:18] You and I in particular, Tony did...
[00:28:21] Didn't discount Oregon out early in the year.
[00:28:24] Because we're like...
[00:28:25] They're still winning.
[00:28:26] And until they lose...
[00:28:29] We're not gonna like get off of the Oregon train as it were.
[00:28:33] I think the biggest thing that scares me...
[00:28:36] I didn't want to take it quite there, Tony.
[00:28:39] But that was literally...
[00:28:40] I almost said that.
[00:28:41] I think the biggest thing that scares me...
[00:28:44] And like, I can't compare Oregon and Miami any of their games...
[00:28:48] Is...
[00:28:49] Like, games that don't matter.
[00:28:52] Like, these games, if you lose...
[00:28:54] Alright, you still have a chance to make the playoffs because you're gonna beat your Big Ten teams.
[00:28:59] But...
[00:29:00] Miami's doing this against teams that they need to beat.
[00:29:03] Mm-hmm.
[00:29:04] Oregon's going to...
[00:29:07] Michigan State winning 31-10.
[00:29:10] Beating UCLA 34-13.
[00:29:12] Beating Purdue 35-0.
[00:29:16] That...
[00:29:17] Miami's not beating the teams like Virginia Tech or Cal or...
[00:29:22] Uh...
[00:29:23] Louisville.
[00:29:23] Where they need to win these games.
[00:29:25] Because if they lose...
[00:29:26] Then they...
[00:29:27] Their chances of making their conference championship game is less.
[00:29:30] I mean, it's kind of just...
[00:29:32] Almost the inverse of what Oregon did.
[00:29:35] Oregon came out and had really close games against non-conference opponents.
[00:29:41] Miami, you know, has...
[00:29:43] Went out and they crushed Florida.
[00:29:45] They crushed Florida A&M.
[00:29:48] They crushed Ball State.
[00:29:49] They crushed South Florida.
[00:29:50] And then they start playing Virginia Tech.
[00:29:53] Barely win.
[00:29:54] Cal.
[00:29:55] Barely win.
[00:29:58] So, it's...
[00:29:59] It's one of those where...
[00:30:02] I mean, you would expect the games to be closer.
[00:30:07] You know, now that they're playing what should be...
[00:30:10] The tougher teams...
[00:30:11] You know, that are in their conference.
[00:30:14] Like...
[00:30:14] Who do you think is a better team?
[00:30:17] Louisville or Ball State?
[00:30:19] Like...
[00:30:20] You would expect the games to be closer.
[00:30:23] Now, it shouldn't be as close as it is.
[00:30:27] Like, I think we all at this point have seen that like...
[00:30:31] Cam Ward, one of the best players in the country.
[00:30:34] I think a lot of people are incredibly high on...
[00:30:38] I think it's the left tackle that Miami is.
[00:30:40] Like, Miami has more talent than a lot of these teams.
[00:30:44] But they aren't an Ohio State.
[00:30:49] Where it's like...
[00:30:50] Yeah, they spent $22 million on this roster.
[00:30:53] They aren't a Texas or an Oregon.
[00:30:57] You know, they're not one of those teams where they have like...
[00:31:00] All of the best players.
[00:31:02] You know, they don't have a defensive line like Georgia that has like...
[00:31:06] Two or three guys that are going to be going to the NFL every year.
[00:31:09] You know...
[00:31:11] So, I guess what I'm saying is...
[00:31:15] One of these games, if they keep having these close scares...
[00:31:20] They're not going to get the win.
[00:31:22] If they keep playing like this.
[00:31:24] But...
[00:31:25] They have gotten the wins.
[00:31:27] So, I'm not off the Miami train.
[00:31:29] As it were.
[00:31:30] Just like how I was with Oregon earlier in the year.
[00:31:33] When it's like...
[00:31:34] These games should absolutely not be this close.
[00:31:36] But until they lose...
[00:31:38] I'm putting my faith in the team.
[00:31:41] That's kind of where I'm at now with Miami.
[00:31:43] These should not be this close.
[00:31:45] But they keep winning.
[00:31:47] And until they don't...
[00:31:48] You know, I'm riding with Miami.
[00:31:50] I guess I wouldn't...
[00:31:51] I mean, I totally could see where you're coming from.
[00:31:54] I guess...
[00:31:54] Where I don't have as much faith is because...
[00:31:57] Honestly, I felt like they lost that game against Virginia Tech.
[00:32:00] I feel like the reps gave them that victory.
[00:32:02] I feel like the reps made some calls in that California game that gave them that victory.
[00:32:06] And then they won the Louisville game.
[00:32:08] And they held on and won that one.
[00:32:09] I'm a little concerned because I just feel like it's...
[00:32:12] After that Virginia Tech game, that should have motivated them that we gotta get our stuff together and push.
[00:32:16] I feel like Oregon did.
[00:32:18] They didn't.
[00:32:19] But I don't know if there's a team on their schedule right now that can really even affect their playoff chances.
[00:32:24] They'll run the table.
[00:32:26] I think they'll play Clemson.
[00:32:27] Win or lose, I think they'll get in the playoff.
[00:32:29] Because there's gonna be a lot of two-loss and three-loss teams vying for the playoff this year.
[00:32:34] So I think they'll have the opportunity to get in.
[00:32:37] All right, let's move ahead and talk about...
[00:32:40] Where are we at here?
[00:32:41] Some other games on the list.
[00:32:43] I'll do a quick recap of some of these games.
[00:32:45] Then you get your overall reaction.
[00:32:48] Oregon won 35-0 over Purdue.
[00:32:50] We thought like maybe this game might be a little closer because six days rest, Friday night,
[00:32:55] heading down to Purdue at night.
[00:32:57] Purdue wins these type of games.
[00:32:59] But this one was never close.
[00:33:01] Purdue, yeah, Purdue was terrible as we thought they were early in the season.
[00:33:06] So I'm not sure what happened with that Illinois game the week before.
[00:33:08] But yeah, Oregon won this one pretty easily.
[00:33:11] LSU fought this to be a little more of a struggle against Arkansas.
[00:33:14] But they handled their business 34-10.
[00:33:17] Honestly, since they lost some of their defensive pieces a few weeks ago,
[00:33:22] LSU's defense has looked a lot better.
[00:33:23] Maybe it was a chemistry issue.
[00:33:25] But their defense seems to be clicking there and their offense is doing pretty well.
[00:33:30] Indiana just rolled over Nebraska 56-7.
[00:33:33] The quarterback did get hurt and is out this next game.
[00:33:36] But their defense looked good, offensively good.
[00:33:39] Nebraska never had a chance.
[00:33:41] Illinois won 21-7 over Michigan.
[00:33:43] I mean, I think enough said, I don't want to keep piling on Michigan every week,
[00:33:47] but that offense still is terrible and never just a terrible look there.
[00:33:52] Again, I think it's time to put that freshman quarterback in.
[00:33:55] You have nothing to lose at this point.
[00:33:56] The season is gone for you if I'm a Michigan fan.
[00:33:59] All right, so Jordan, Jess, any thoughts on any of those games?
[00:34:02] Start with you, Jess.
[00:34:08] I mean, not really.
[00:34:21] The, the whatchamacallit, the, oh my god.
[00:34:24] Which one stood out to me there?
[00:34:28] The, I never really thought, I mean, I guess I thought maybe Purdue could put a scare into Oregon, but not really.
[00:34:38] I, I don't want to talk about the Nebraska game.
[00:34:41] I think that might have been the thing that was, the game I've been most wrong about all year there, the Nebraska-Indiana game.
[00:34:50] Um, yeah, I mean, I guess Oregon rolled, Nebraska got rolled.
[00:34:54] Those, those are the two games I was kind of most interested in of the up, potential upset picks that we had last week.
[00:35:01] And, uh, one wasn't interesting and one was a disaster for me.
[00:35:08] Hi, Jordan.
[00:35:09] Any thoughts from you?
[00:35:10] Closing thoughts here?
[00:35:11] Oh, LSU has turned it around since that, when they lose the USC in the beginning of the season.
[00:35:17] Yeah.
[00:35:17] Um, they look, honestly, they're, to me, they're kind of up there in the, I know I don't want to say it because Brian Kelly, but, um, they look kind of complete.
[00:35:28] Um, quarterback looks good.
[00:35:31] No touchdowns, but consistent.
[00:35:33] Um, their running game honestly looks like one of the best in the SEC, which is not hard to say because I feel like there's not a lot of running teams.
[00:35:41] So, um, yeah, no, uh, that's the most surprising.
[00:35:45] I mean, I think we all were kind of on the fence with LSU, but they're kind of showing out since that USC game.
[00:35:53] Um, and finding stuff on offense that not a lot of teams in the SEC are finding.
[00:35:59] So we'll know more.
[00:36:01] We'll talk about it, but more this weekend when they play Texas A&M, but right now, LSU looks good.
[00:36:05] Indiana looks good.
[00:36:07] I'm still kind of comfortable with Indiana in the sense that that backup quarterback Tavon or what's his name?
[00:36:13] What?
[00:36:14] What?
[00:36:14] Tony, it's your team, man.
[00:36:16] And not, um, not my team, but, uh,
[00:36:20] Uh, Tavon Jackson.
[00:36:22] Jackson, that sounds good.
[00:36:23] Uh, he, he came in, in the Nebraska game, seven for eight, two touchdowns, 91 yards.
[00:36:29] So, um, has had some plays under his belt.
[00:36:32] Um, so I, I think they should still be fine, especially if that defense still rolls like they've been.
[00:36:38] Um, I'm not surprised with Michigan losing against Illinois.
[00:36:41] Um, we all know why.
[00:36:43] Um, I'm not surprised Oregon went into Purdue and won 35 to zero.
[00:36:48] Um, Purdue looks really bad this year.
[00:36:50] Sorry, Tony.
[00:36:51] Um, we, I, it could have happened.
[00:36:55] All right.
[00:36:56] They could have had eight.
[00:36:58] Purdue had, could have had eight top two wins, but it didn't happen.
[00:37:04] And, uh, Oregon keeps rolling.
[00:37:09] Let's move on to week none.
[00:37:10] Uh, so go for some quick, um, quick picks here on, on some of the top games.
[00:37:15] There actually, I would say there's not a huge game.
[00:37:18] LSU, Texas, A&M, I guess it'll be the hugest game, but there's a lot of like pretty good matchups, um, this week.
[00:37:24] So what start out there in Syracuse, Syracuse is going to Pittsburgh.
[00:37:29] Um, both teams are pretty good.
[00:37:31] Pittsburgh's coming in undefeated six and oh, number 19 team in the country, Syracuse five and one.
[00:37:36] Um, probably they lost that Stanford game, but, um, but both teams, you know, have been playing pretty well.
[00:37:43] I think both are coming off a pretty good victories.
[00:37:46] Um, Syracuse 24, 17 over North Carolina state pit 17 to 15 over Cal, you know?
[00:37:53] So I would say both teams have some issues, but overall having a pretty decent seasons.
[00:37:58] I think in this game, Pittsburgh is favored by four.
[00:38:01] So that being said, who you got Pittsburgh or Syracuse?
[00:38:04] Jess.
[00:38:06] Uh, I'm going to take Pittsburgh.
[00:38:09] Um, it's at home.
[00:38:12] They've been playing well.
[00:38:14] Uh, they, I mean, the, it was a close one.
[00:38:18] Uh, I think they had the bye this week, but, uh, when they played Cal, that was a close game, but it seems like they've been, they've been in control of a lot of these games.
[00:38:29] Close ones, uh, start the year with Cincy, but, uh, I mean, yeah, that, that Stanford loss wasn't great.
[00:38:37] Um, for, uh, Syracuse, they've had a couple other closer games that maybe they should have been, you know, a bit more like you would think they might've been a bit better in.
[00:38:51] But the fact that this game is at Pitt, I think that's going to be the deciding factor.
[00:38:55] Give me Pittsburgh.
[00:38:59] All right, Jordan, what do you think?
[00:39:01] Yeah, I'm on the same.
[00:39:02] I think Pitt is at home.
[00:39:05] Uh, this is probably going to be the closest game.
[00:39:07] It's probably going to be the same score as last week for Pitt Cal 17, 15.
[00:39:12] I think both these teams, I just don't know.
[00:39:16] Uh, they're, they're kind of hit or miss for me.
[00:39:19] I think Pitt just has more, just better, a little better all around than Syracuse.
[00:39:27] Syracuse has some holes that they need to figure out.
[00:39:31] Um, I do think Syracuse might have the better quarterback in common court.
[00:39:36] He looks good this year at points, but I still think being at home, I think Pitt's going to pull this one off and continue their undefeated streak.
[00:39:45] Just because I'm still kind of confused on what Syracuse is this year and what Kyle McCord are we going to see?
[00:39:53] Yeah, that's understandable.
[00:39:55] I think, um, I think during Emmerat Syracuse is that they, well, they won a couple of games last year.
[00:40:00] So they've already probably hit, you know, already have proven in the right direction, even with somebody's closer wins, even if they haven't come a court.
[00:40:09] I do like Eli Holstein, the quarterback for Pittsburgh.
[00:40:11] He's been playing pretty well.
[00:40:12] I don't think his numbers are as big as, um, Kyle McCord, but I thought he's been pretty impressive in some of the games that they've won.
[00:40:19] But yeah, both teams have, um, looked good in some games, but won over close games.
[00:40:24] And obviously Syracuse lost that game against Stanford.
[00:40:26] So I think since this one's at home, I think I will go ahead and take Pittsburgh in this one.
[00:40:30] But it would have shocked me if Syracuse was able to pull it off, um, there on the road.
[00:40:34] I think Kyle McCord obviously has some, you know, experience in these bigger night games.
[00:40:38] So yeah, I can see it going either way, but for now I'll go to Pittsburgh.
[00:40:42] All right, let's move on to, I think could be the game of the weekend.
[00:40:45] That's Boise State UNLV.
[00:40:47] Um, this could determine who is the, you know, the group of five playoff team.
[00:40:55] Um, UNLV 6-1, Boise State 5-1.
[00:40:59] I'm not quite sure why Boise State is ranked and UNLV is not.
[00:41:03] UNLV does have the wins over Oregon State and Kansas, where Boise does it have a big win outside of losing close to,
[00:41:11] uh, well they have the Washington State outside of losing close to Oregon.
[00:41:15] So, um, this could be interesting.
[00:41:17] I think right now Boise is favored by 2.5.
[00:41:19] It's at UNLV.
[00:41:21] Um, it should be, you know, pretty, pretty high scoring game, I imagine.
[00:41:26] I could see this game going, you know, 48-46 final seconds type of game.
[00:41:32] So, Jordan, who do you got in this one?
[00:41:34] You and Oli of Boise State.
[00:41:35] I got Boise State.
[00:41:36] I don't know.
[00:41:37] I think no one can stop Aston Gentry and even Oregon couldn't stop him.
[00:41:42] And I think they just, I don't know.
[00:41:46] It's just, it's Gentry.
[00:41:47] He's, he's just so, he's so good.
[00:41:51] Um, I just think that Boise State has, I don't know.
[00:41:57] They just, who did UNLV lost to Syracuse?
[00:42:01] Syracuse in the overtime.
[00:42:03] Yeah.
[00:42:03] But Boise State lost to Oregon State, Oregon by three.
[00:42:07] So, I don't know.
[00:42:09] I feel like Boise State is just a little better than UNLV and offense, offensively.
[00:42:18] Now defense is still a question mark, but I think having the best running back in college
[00:42:24] football right now on your team really, really is going to help.
[00:42:30] So I got Boise State.
[00:42:31] I guess you got.
[00:42:33] Yeah, I'm, I'm taking, uh, Ashton Gentry.
[00:42:37] Not necessarily Boise State.
[00:42:39] I'm just taking him.
[00:42:40] I mean, he's been, so this is, this might be the greatest running back season in college
[00:42:50] football history while we're with what we are witnessing from him.
[00:42:54] Oh, they'll tell Travis Hunter that.
[00:42:56] Yeah.
[00:42:57] Well, he can.
[00:43:00] Yep.
[00:43:00] Yeah.
[00:43:01] Yeah.
[00:43:01] Yeah.
[00:43:02] I'll just leave it there.
[00:43:03] But, oh my God, he is, at the very least in my college football watching time, I've never
[00:43:12] seen anything like what Ashton Deontay is doing.
[00:43:15] I mean, he's no one, I, I just, there are no words for what this guy is doing.
[00:43:23] Give, give me Boise State.
[00:43:25] Jordan?
[00:43:26] I already said Boise State.
[00:43:28] Thanks.
[00:43:28] You did say Boise State.
[00:43:29] That's right.
[00:43:29] Um, I just wanted to make sure he really meant that.
[00:43:32] Um, I think I'm taking, double down on it.
[00:43:35] I'm taking ULV.
[00:43:35] You can't, you can't, you put Boise State in your, your, your bracket.
[00:43:40] I know, I know, I know.
[00:43:41] I, I know I can't, but I am, I'm picking ULV cause, um, I, I just love ULV.
[00:43:47] I just picked their, I love their, their way they approach the offense.
[00:43:51] They're explosive and I just.
[00:43:53] You wanna be, we're sorry.
[00:43:55] Um, Tony just cursed your team.
[00:43:58] I gotta help my Boise State pick somehow.
[00:44:00] Um, so I'm picking ULV here to win.
[00:44:02] Um, all right.
[00:44:03] Next game, um, Notre Dame at Navy.
[00:44:06] Um, and, uh, but I'm gonna be, both teams are ranked, um, in this ball game.
[00:44:09] Um, Navy's coming in undefeated.
[00:44:12] You know, scoring a lot of points.
[00:44:13] I think their last free contest, 41, 34, 51.
[00:44:16] Before that 56, 38.
[00:44:17] So they're one of the highest scoring teams in the country, a Naval Academy.
[00:44:22] So, you know, that's kind of crazy.
[00:44:24] Defense has been playing too shabby as well.
[00:44:25] Obviously they really haven't played anybody.
[00:44:27] Um, they play Charlotte, Air Force, UAB, Memphis, Temple.
[00:44:33] Um, so they haven't played a huge, like defensive team.
[00:44:36] I don't think any outstanding, like offensive teams either.
[00:44:39] So how good is Navy?
[00:44:41] I guess we will find out this weekend.
[00:44:44] Um, obviously Notre Dame's coming in with, um, five,
[00:44:47] five wins in a row here after losing to Norbert, Illinois.
[00:44:50] They're now back up to number 12 in the country.
[00:44:52] Um, they're a favorite, but 13 and a half in this game.
[00:44:55] Riley Leonard is having.
[00:44:58] Halfs where he's looking really good and halfs where he's kind of sluggish.
[00:45:01] So see if he could put it all together in this game.
[00:45:04] Um, so Jordan, who do you got Notre Dame or Navy?
[00:45:07] I got Notre Dame, but it all depends on what Riley Leonard we get.
[00:45:13] Um, if we play sluggish all year, all the whole game, I can see Navy,
[00:45:17] just wearing this defense down.
[00:45:20] Um, we are already so injured.
[00:45:23] Notre Dame is already so injured on defense.
[00:45:26] So I don't know how much, you know, backup players we got,
[00:45:31] the depth we really have.
[00:45:34] If Navy runs the ball 80 times, I mean, last game, they ran it.
[00:45:42] Oh, 42.
[00:45:45] 80 times.
[00:45:46] But they run it 80 times where we, their name is not winning this game.
[00:45:49] I will say, but if they run it a lot,
[00:45:52] 80 times, how much like time of possession do that?
[00:45:55] Well, what are you guys doing?
[00:45:57] They never get the ball in this game.
[00:45:58] I think we need them.
[00:46:00] Uh, but if they run it a lot, I feel like it can wear this defense down enough.
[00:46:05] To be able, like Navy to pull it off.
[00:46:07] But I feel like Riley Leonard finding his own.
[00:46:10] This offense is finding its rhythm and they've been looking good.
[00:46:15] So I got Notre Dame.
[00:46:16] I think even if Riley Leonard has a bad quarter,
[00:46:20] I think their defense is going to be able to hold Navy's, you know,
[00:46:24] run attack up enough for him to find, catch, get his footing to continue,
[00:46:31] like make this game, you know, a Notre Dame victory.
[00:46:34] So give me Notre Dame.
[00:46:36] Cause if I pick Navy, I think I would get disowned.
[00:46:41] Yes.
[00:46:42] I mean, the injuries for Notre Dame do worry me,
[00:46:48] but I think they're just the more talented team.
[00:46:52] I mean, I give me Notre Dame.
[00:46:55] I like you said, it's not like Navy's truly played somebody that like,
[00:47:00] you know, we hold in that, you know, like, Oh my God,
[00:47:04] what a win sort of territory.
[00:47:06] But, uh, yeah, I think, uh, give me Notre Dame.
[00:47:11] Hopefully we don't curse them on Saturday, but that's right.
[00:47:15] So I do think Notre Dame will win.
[00:47:17] I do feel like the defense, the injuries are, are concerning,
[00:47:20] but what I have liked is that they put a bunch of true freshmen in and
[00:47:25] they're playing really well so far.
[00:47:27] I mean, holding Georgia Tech to 13, Stanford to seven,
[00:47:31] even though the team, when they were playing tough, bad on offense,
[00:47:34] they held Miami of Ohio, the three Purdue to seven.
[00:47:37] I mean, they, they're not teams are not scoring on them.
[00:47:40] Um, even Texas am has had trouble with that.
[00:47:43] So, um, you know,
[00:47:45] if Bradley and Eric can just not turn the ball over and just do his job and
[00:47:48] they run the ball.
[00:47:49] Well, I mean, they should be able to win this one.
[00:47:51] So I'll pick the third day.
[00:47:53] All right.
[00:47:54] Next up, Illinois, Oregon.
[00:47:56] So, um, obviously, um, this one will be at Oregon.
[00:48:00] Oregon, we thought we'd have a little bit of come down game last week
[00:48:03] against Purdue.
[00:48:04] They didn't.
[00:48:04] So I'm not sure what to expect this one.
[00:48:07] Illinois has been kind of hit or miss.
[00:48:08] They, they gave up all these points to, to Purdue.
[00:48:12] Then they come in and just shut down Michigan, but then it's Michigan.
[00:48:16] So I don't know what that's really saying anything.
[00:48:18] So I'm not really sure what to expect to this game.
[00:48:20] I just imagine that it's going to, since it's at Oregon, uh, that Oregon will,
[00:48:24] will come in and win this game pretty easily.
[00:48:26] But, uh, I don't know.
[00:48:28] What, what do you say, Jess?
[00:48:31] Yeah, I think Oregon's gonna just win this game easily.
[00:48:34] I don't have too much to say here.
[00:48:36] I mean, Illinois has been pleasantly surprising this year, but you know,
[00:48:41] like we were saying earlier when we were having the whole Miami discussion
[00:48:44] and Oregon, you know, there are teams that you just expect to win.
[00:48:48] Oregon, that's just Oregon right now.
[00:48:50] I just expect them to win.
[00:48:53] All right.
[00:48:54] Yeah, no, I'm with Jess.
[00:48:56] I think Oregon's gonna win this game easily.
[00:48:59] Honestly, yeah, I'm surprised in Illinois,
[00:49:03] but have they really played anyone besides Penn State?
[00:49:08] Um, they had Nebraska, it was Eastern Illinois, Kansas, Central Michigan,
[00:49:14] Nebraska, Penn State, Purdue, Michigan.
[00:49:16] That's it.
[00:49:17] Yeah.
[00:49:18] So we haven't really-
[00:49:19] Maybe they're not what we thought they were, you know?
[00:49:21] And saying, like, you know, defensively dominated Michigan is not hard.
[00:49:27] I feel like a really good, IMG Academy could hold Michigan.
[00:49:32] What's that fake school in Ohio?
[00:49:34] They could probably do that too.
[00:49:36] Yeah, IMG Academy probably could hold Michigan to seven points.
[00:49:39] Yeah.
[00:49:40] So yeah.
[00:49:41] Oregon by-
[00:49:42] A billion.
[00:49:43] 22.
[00:49:44] 22.
[00:49:45] All right.
[00:49:46] Missouri, Alabama's next.
[00:49:48] Alabama's favored by 14.
[00:49:49] This game's at Alabama.
[00:49:51] Alabama against five and two.
[00:49:53] After their loss to Tennessee, Missouri's coming off their win against Auburn,
[00:49:57] where Brady Cook got hurt majority of the game,
[00:49:59] but came back in in the fourth quarter to help them get that victory.
[00:50:03] Both teams haven't looked as great this year, so a little weird.
[00:50:07] Weird matchup here, but Jordan, who you got in this one?
[00:50:09] Missouri or Alabama?
[00:50:11] Oh my gosh.
[00:50:12] This is the hardest game to choose this week.
[00:50:15] I-
[00:50:17] I don't know.
[00:50:19] Can I choose neither?
[00:50:21] It's a tie.
[00:50:22] I-
[00:50:22] I-
[00:50:25] Um, I think, all right.
[00:50:29] It's gonna be Missouri.
[00:50:31] I-
[00:50:31] I think Missouri's gonna win this one.
[00:50:32] I don't know.
[00:50:33] I just don't like Alabama right now.
[00:50:36] I think Missouri-
[00:50:37] I think Brady Cook-
[00:50:40] He-
[00:50:41] That's why he came back.
[00:50:41] He said he only has-
[00:50:42] He has two and a half games left at home, but-
[00:50:49] It's his final year.
[00:50:50] He knows it.
[00:50:51] I think he-
[00:50:52] After getting hurt and then coming back, I think he's gonna want it.
[00:50:54] And I think Luther Burton III is gonna have his best game of the season.
[00:50:59] He's been struggling lately, so he needs to have it.
[00:51:01] Alabama has been struggling lately as well.
[00:51:03] So, give me Missouri.
[00:51:05] I-
[00:51:06] I think they're gonna surprise a lot of people.
[00:51:09] Chess, do you agree?
[00:51:11] Give me Bama.
[00:51:13] I-
[00:51:13] I think Bama, they're not gonna lose back to back.
[00:51:17] I think Missouri struggled when they played against better defenses.
[00:51:20] It's-
[00:51:21] If it was Nick Saban saying that, I understand.
[00:51:24] But it's not.
[00:51:25] We're out of that era.
[00:51:26] It's gone.
[00:51:26] He lost to Vanderbilt, turned around, almost lost to South Carolina the following week,
[00:51:31] and then lost to Tennessee the week after that.
[00:51:33] So, I mean, it's-
[00:51:33] It's danger time for Alabama here.
[00:51:35] Yeah, but Missouri-
[00:51:37] Does Missouri have a good defense?
[00:51:41] I don't know.
[00:51:42] Who do they play that has a good offense?
[00:51:43] Well, they gave up 41 to Texas A&M, so-
[00:51:45] But Texas A&M looks good.
[00:51:46] I-
[00:51:48] I thought Missouri-
[00:51:50] I just think that Alabama is gonna be able to win this game off of talent, and they-
[00:51:59] they have all of the pressure in this game.
[00:52:03] Yeah.
[00:52:04] And I think Alabama-
[00:52:06] It's not Nick Saban, Alabama, but I think they are gonna bounce back.
[00:52:10] I think they're gonna respond.
[00:52:11] I think they're gonna win this game.
[00:52:13] All right.
[00:52:14] I tend to agree.
[00:52:16] I think Alabama will win just because it's at home, and I feel like-
[00:52:18] I'll tell it, Missouri.
[00:52:20] If Missouri was scoring like they were last year and playing good defense like they were
[00:52:24] last year, I would probably pick Missouri, but Missouri just kinda has been a shell of
[00:52:28] itself this year, so I don't have a lot-
[00:52:29] Just like Alabama.
[00:52:31] Yeah, but the shell of Alabama, I think it could beat the shell of Missouri is what I'm
[00:52:36] going with, I guess.
[00:52:36] I don't know, playing the shell game here.
[00:52:39] Um, so let's go ahead and go with Alabama.
[00:52:41] Um, all right.
[00:52:44] Texas at Vanderbilt.
[00:52:46] Well, when we- when we saw the- the schedule this season, this was not one of the games
[00:52:50] I thought we would be talking about, but here we are.
[00:52:53] Um, so obviously Vanderbilt's coming in with some nice victories.
[00:52:58] Um, you know, they tend to struggle-
[00:53:00] They play up and down to the opponent, it seems like.
[00:53:03] They're looking at their loss to Georgia State and struggle a bit with Ball State last
[00:53:06] week, but they- they play up to the- to the competition for sure.
[00:53:10] Um, to the- the bigger teams.
[00:53:12] But, um, who do you guys have in this one?
[00:53:15] Um, Texas or Vanderbilt?
[00:53:17] Jess?
[00:53:18] Give me Texas.
[00:53:21] Like, they're not-
[00:53:24] When-
[00:53:25] Texas has played pretty much anybody except for Georgia,
[00:53:31] Georgia, they've dominated.
[00:53:34] And we all know the level of talent that Georgia has, as we discussed earlier in particular
[00:53:42] on the defensive line.
[00:53:46] Vanderbilt has been a great story, but they are not going to stun Texas.
[00:53:56] Give me Texas.
[00:53:58] Jordan, do you agree?
[00:53:59] Yeah.
[00:54:01] I don't know.
[00:54:02] I- I just feel like Texas is not Alabama.
[00:54:07] Texas is a little more consistent on defense.
[00:54:10] And Texas does have a better quarterback than-
[00:54:13] And Quinn Ewers than Jello Milrow.
[00:54:15] I-
[00:54:16] No, wait, what are you talking about?
[00:54:17] I thought you were talking about, um, Pavi-
[00:54:19] I like Pavi better at Vanderbilt than-
[00:54:20] No, I do too.
[00:54:21] But I'm just saying, I think-
[00:54:24] I just think Texas right now has a better team than Alabama.
[00:54:28] That makes sense.
[00:54:29] Yeah.
[00:54:29] And I think Vanderbilt won't be able to exploit as much as they did against Alabama.
[00:54:36] So give me Texas and not Arch Manning.
[00:54:43] Um, I see he did not leave him back to victory.
[00:54:45] I was very struck-
[00:54:47] They tried.
[00:54:47] I didn't do that.
[00:54:48] Um, give me Vanderbilt in this game.
[00:54:51] I-
[00:54:52] No, never mind.
[00:54:52] I was just joking.
[00:54:53] I was just kidding.
[00:54:54] I was just kidding.
[00:54:55] I was just kidding.
[00:54:55] Uh, no, I-
[00:54:58] I mean, I would love to pick Vanderbilt in this game, but I-
[00:55:00] I don't think they're gonna catch anybody on surprise anymore this season.
[00:55:03] And I feel like, um, they'll put up a pretty decent battle for quarter and two.
[00:55:10] The defense has played up or down.
[00:55:12] They may be able to do something there, but I just-
[00:55:14] I just can't see it.
[00:55:16] Texas is not gonna come in and lose for a second straight game.
[00:55:19] They're gonna be ready to go in this game and get-
[00:55:21] get their way back to the playoffs.
[00:55:23] So I-
[00:55:24] I'll definitely pick Texas in this one.
[00:55:26] Um, alright, let's move ahead to LSU and Texas A&M.
[00:55:30] Um, to pick right now, Texas A&M is favored by two and a half.
[00:55:34] This game is at Texas A&M.
[00:55:35] It is at night.
[00:55:36] It's 730.
[00:55:38] Um, Texas A&M is 14th.
[00:55:41] LSU is eighth in the country.
[00:55:44] Um, let me see.
[00:55:45] As far as like wins this year, LSU has some pretty decent ones.
[00:55:49] 34-10 over Arkansas, like we mentioned.
[00:55:51] They beat Ole Miss.
[00:55:53] Then that's pretty much it as far as their big wins.
[00:55:57] Um, and then Texas A&M.
[00:55:58] Again, hasn't beaten anybody great.
[00:56:00] Um, they beat Missouri when Missouri was ranked the top 10 team.
[00:56:04] And they beat Arkansas.
[00:56:05] Uh, but if you look at compared to schedules, you would think LSU is more-
[00:56:08] definitely more, um, well-rounded team here.
[00:56:12] Um, so who do you guys have in this one?
[00:56:13] LSU or Texas A&M?
[00:56:15] Start with you, Jordan.
[00:56:17] Uh, I don't want to say it.
[00:56:20] But, even though it's at Texas A&M, I'm going to pick LSU.
[00:56:25] I like Nussmeyer more than Wagman.
[00:56:28] We never know what we're going to get with Wagman.
[00:56:32] Wake, whatever.
[00:56:33] Um, I just, I don't know.
[00:56:35] I got LSU on this one.
[00:56:37] I think their offense is just a little better.
[00:56:39] And their defense is going to be able to control Texas A&M's, you know, run game.
[00:56:45] Cause that really looks like what they're getting behind more in these games.
[00:56:50] So, give me LSU.
[00:56:52] Just agree.
[00:56:56] I'm torn because of how disruptive we know A&M's front can be.
[00:57:03] But, I think LSU has two of the best tackles in the draft in Campbell and Tracy.
[00:57:14] Both are going to be like first or second round picks.
[00:57:18] I mean, Campbell's probably a top 10 pick.
[00:57:20] Maybe even top 5.
[00:57:22] Uh, Tracy is probably going to be one of those guys that's like a late first, early second projection as of right now.
[00:57:30] That's what I'm seeing from big boards and everything.
[00:57:35] Um, yeah, give me LSU.
[00:57:39] The being at A&M gives me pause.
[00:57:43] But I think LSU is the better team with the better quarterback.
[00:57:47] Maybe even the better head coach, but you know.
[00:57:50] Hey, whoa, whoa.
[00:57:51] I'll let you guys discuss that one.
[00:57:53] I'll let you guys.
[00:57:54] I'll let you guys.
[00:57:56] Uh, Nutzmeier has only been sacked twice this season.
[00:57:59] And it was against South Carolina.
[00:58:01] So, yeah.
[00:58:04] They got some, they got some boys.
[00:58:05] They haven't played against the defensive line either.
[00:58:07] That's true.
[00:58:08] That's also true.
[00:58:09] Yeah.
[00:58:09] But, uh, yeah.
[00:58:10] Give me LSU.
[00:58:12] Give me Texas A&M.
[00:58:13] I have no, no issue.
[00:58:16] Two years ago, LSU, much better team.
[00:58:19] With the Texas A&M, lost by 15.
[00:58:21] Last year, again, they had a much better team.
[00:58:24] Only won by 12 at LSU.
[00:58:25] I feel like these teams are pretty evenly matched.
[00:58:28] And it usually depends on where they're playing, who gets to win these last few years.
[00:58:32] Um, and so that, and I just feel like the defensive line and that crazy crowd noise.
[00:58:38] If LSU gets behind and Nutzmeier starts trying to force things like he has in the past, I feel like that defense will, will be able to shut Nutzmeier down.
[00:58:47] And I feel like there's still some holes on the corner backs for LSU, if you saw from the USC game.
[00:58:53] Um, that they haven't played anybody that can really take advantage.
[00:58:56] I mean, Ole Miss, I guess, but Ole Miss has been kind of struggling throughout the season.
[00:59:00] So, I just feel like Texas A&M will win this game and continue their march towards the SEC championship game.
[00:59:06] So give me Texas A&M.
[00:59:09] Um, all right.
[00:59:10] Deep in my heart, I'm going to be rooting for that A&M victory because of what we talked about earlier with that potential A&M.
[00:59:16] Because of Brian Kelly.
[00:59:18] Yeah.
[00:59:18] Yeah, we know.
[00:59:19] We agree with you.
[00:59:19] Sure.
[00:59:19] Yeah.
[00:59:20] Okay.
[00:59:21] Thank you.
[00:59:22] Thank you.
[00:59:23] That's all I wanted to, Jess.
[00:59:23] Cincinnati agrees with you as well.
[00:59:25] Yes.
[00:59:26] Everybody agrees with you.
[00:59:27] I'm totally not being held hostage here.
[00:59:31] All right.
[00:59:32] Let's quick rapid fire.
[00:59:34] 10, 20 seconds.
[00:59:35] Um, Nebraska.
[00:59:37] These are going to be a potential upset game.
[00:59:38] So tell me if you're going to pick the upset or not.
[00:59:40] Nebraska at Ohio State, are you picking the upset, Jess?
[00:59:42] No.
[00:59:44] Jordan.
[00:59:45] No.
[00:59:46] I am definitely not picking Nebraska.
[00:59:47] You burned me once and I will not let it happen.
[00:59:50] Nebraska will not burn you again.
[00:59:51] Yeah, Nebraska, you know, you start off season well.
[00:59:54] Hopefully there's always next year.
[00:59:56] Um, all right.
[00:59:57] Here's an interesting one.
[00:59:58] Washington, Indiana, as I mentioned, Indiana, um, quarterback, um, is out for this game.
[01:00:04] We talked about the backup a little bit, but, um, who do you guys have in this one?
[01:00:08] Washington or Indiana?
[01:00:10] Jordan, go ahead.
[01:00:11] Indiana.
[01:00:12] Just cause game day is going to be there.
[01:00:15] Oh.
[01:00:17] Great.
[01:00:18] I guess.
[01:00:18] Uh, Jess.
[01:00:23] Indiana's QB out.
[01:00:25] The backup QB is not horrible and their defense is good.
[01:00:29] Yeah.
[01:00:30] Yeah.
[01:00:31] Yeah.
[01:00:31] I think, and I think this is going to be a low scoring game, but I think Indiana's defense
[01:00:35] will be able to, uh, keep them in it enough for them to make one or two plays that Washington
[01:00:41] just can't.
[01:00:42] So no upset.
[01:00:44] It's tough.
[01:00:45] It's tough.
[01:00:45] Cause I look at Washington, a very hit or miss.
[01:00:47] In fact, they have won and lost every single game.
[01:00:50] They lost.
[01:00:51] Watch this day.
[01:00:52] Next week.
[01:00:53] One against Nebraska Northwestern.
[01:00:56] Next week.
[01:00:56] Lost against Rutgers.
[01:00:57] Next week.
[01:00:58] Beat Michigan.
[01:00:59] Next week.
[01:01:00] Lost against Iowa, which means this week they win against Indiana.
[01:01:04] So they'll give me Washington with the every, every game logic there without, um,
[01:01:10] Rourke in the game for Indiana.
[01:01:11] I just feel like their offense may struggle a bit.
[01:01:14] Um, I know, I mean, they could probably make some things happen and defense will be good,
[01:01:18] but I think Will Rogers, um, we'll be able to, the score a little bit here.
[01:01:23] Um, and then they get some momentum going.
[01:01:25] I see, I can see them winning this game, but again, if I had to pick upset, it's probably
[01:01:29] one out of the week that we'll pick.
[01:01:31] All right.
[01:01:31] Next up.
[01:01:32] BYU at central Florida, central Florida, almost at Iowa state.
[01:01:36] Can they get the every big 12 team?
[01:01:37] Um, BYU.
[01:01:38] So just what'd you say?
[01:01:43] No, no upset.
[01:01:45] BYU is going to win.
[01:01:47] Jordan.
[01:01:47] You agree?
[01:01:48] Yeah, I agree.
[01:01:49] I think they're just all around better team than UCF.
[01:01:53] Yeah, I agree.
[01:01:54] BYU.
[01:01:55] I think it's, um, if central Florida had maybe one last week might be a little different,
[01:01:59] but they guys are heartbroken.
[01:02:00] They're probably not gonna be as motivated for this one.
[01:02:02] I'd give me BYU.
[01:02:04] Um, Penn State at Wisconsin.
[01:02:06] Can Wisconsin pull the update at Wisconsin?
[01:02:09] Jess.
[01:02:14] No, this is another one.
[01:02:15] I just think Penn State's the better team.
[01:02:18] Way more NFL talent.
[01:02:21] Give me Penn State.
[01:02:22] I do want to point out the last three games for Wisconsin.
[01:02:25] They, they beat Purdue 52 to six Rutgers 42 to seven and Northwestern 23 to three.
[01:02:30] So maybe they found something.
[01:02:31] Jordan, what do you got?
[01:02:34] Oh, I know you want to do it.
[01:02:36] I want to.
[01:02:37] I know you want to.
[01:02:39] I was at Wisconsin.
[01:02:40] I would.
[01:02:41] 30 PM.
[01:02:42] See, we rock it at night.
[01:02:43] Jordan.
[01:02:44] What do you say?
[01:02:44] I would if Tyler Van Dyke was still quarterback, but they've been playing better since, tell
[01:02:50] it, but they, but he got hurt against Alabama.
[01:02:55] Against Alabama.
[01:02:55] Against Alabama.
[01:02:56] Early.
[01:02:57] They lost the USC game because they were getting used to the transition and now they're
[01:02:59] doing fine.
[01:03:00] You know what?
[01:03:01] You know what?
[01:03:02] Penn State's, Penn State's going to win.
[01:03:04] I don't, I don't know.
[01:03:06] I don't know.
[01:03:06] Wisconsin is hit or miss for me.
[01:03:08] I think we don't know.
[01:03:10] I just feel like we don't know what we're going to get out of Wisconsin.
[01:03:13] And I think Penn State has just been a little more consistent.
[01:03:17] Um, they found a bit of a groove post.
[01:03:20] You know what?
[01:03:21] No, no, I'm picking Wisconsin.
[01:03:22] It's at home.
[01:03:23] It's a night game.
[01:03:25] I don't think Drew Aller is going to be ready for it.
[01:03:28] All right.
[01:03:29] Um, they had a bad way to get ready for it, but we'll see.
[01:03:32] Um, but yeah, I mean, that's tough.
[01:03:36] Defense is preparing really well.
[01:03:37] Wisconsin offense is preparing pretty decent.
[01:03:40] Penn State's kind of the same.
[01:03:42] Oh, give me Wisconsin.
[01:03:44] Let's go.
[01:03:45] The upset is happening.
[01:03:46] One in favor of the upset.
[01:03:49] Yeah.
[01:03:49] I think the upset's happening.
[01:03:50] Penn State's feeling good about themselves.
[01:03:52] They just beat a under 500 USC team last time they played.
[01:03:56] Now they get the loss.
[01:03:57] Um, final game of the weekend.
[01:03:59] And probably the best game, right?
[01:04:01] SMU at Duke.
[01:04:02] Um, both teams coming in with only one loss.
[01:04:06] Um, honestly, whoever wins this game could still have a shot at the, um, at the eight,
[01:04:12] the ACC title game.
[01:04:14] More likely best.
[01:04:15] SMU wins or definitely have a bigger, bigger shot there.
[01:04:18] So who do you guys have SMU or Duke?
[01:04:20] Obviously Duke is not favorite in this one.
[01:04:22] So, um, are you picking upset with Duke or are you going with the favorite SMU?
[01:04:26] So start with you, Jess.
[01:04:30] Hmm.
[01:04:32] No, I think I'm going to take SMU.
[01:04:35] Although I'd be lying if I said part of my reasoning wasn't that I've been, uh, having
[01:04:41] to be burned by a Duke quarterback, uh, for the last six years as a Giants fan.
[01:04:49] So.
[01:04:50] Yeah.
[01:04:51] Not that much.
[01:04:51] This weekend was a really bad for me as a football fan.
[01:04:55] You guys can, you can draft Raleigh Leonard and then you'll be good to go.
[01:04:58] Uh, it'll be the same.
[01:04:59] It'll be the same thing.
[01:05:00] No, no, no, no, no.
[01:05:02] Another Daniel Jones on their team.
[01:05:04] Yeah.
[01:05:04] That's all you need.
[01:05:05] Uh, Jordan, what you got?
[01:05:07] I got SMU.
[01:05:08] I think SMU has found their footing in this, you know, power for conferences and haven't
[01:05:15] really looked back since, was it the first game of the season?
[01:05:19] I lost BYU.
[01:05:20] Yeah.
[01:05:21] Well, we questioned that game of the season.
[01:05:23] Third game.
[01:05:24] They lost to BYU 18 to 15.
[01:05:26] Um, and then they just rolled after that 66, 42 TCU, 42 to 16, Florida State 37, 34 to
[01:05:36] 27 against Louisville, blew out Stanford 40 to 10.
[01:05:39] So I got SMU.
[01:05:40] I think they're just, uh, offensively better.
[01:05:44] Yeah.
[01:05:44] I tend to agree.
[01:05:45] Uh, this game is, um, at 8 PM.
[01:05:48] The camera cases will be out.
[01:05:50] Um, I don't know if it'll matter.
[01:05:52] I think SMU is just a better offensive team.
[01:05:53] Duke is a better defensive team.
[01:05:55] So we'll see what, what kind of comes out there at the end.
[01:05:57] But I do think SMU will find a way to win and keep their standing on top of ACC and
[01:06:01] tech.
[01:06:02] So, all right.
[01:06:03] Should be like I said, interesting week games.
[01:06:06] Um, may just, we'll be down at MetLife Stadium, which I'm sure is a lovely, lovely
[01:06:10] stadium.
[01:06:11] Um, okay.
[01:06:12] Well, um, be there to watch the Notre Dame Navy game top 20.
[01:06:16] So match up.
[01:06:17] So hopefully bring some good juju for Notre Dame for us Notre Dame fans out there.
[01:06:22] Um, and then we will talk all about the games next week, guys.
[01:06:26] If you have any comments or questions, reach out to us on Twitter in the flat pod until
[01:06:31] next week.
[01:06:32] Talk to you soon.
[01:06:33] Bye.
