#sportsreportsasordered - IT JUST MEANS MORE: THE SEC PREVIEW!

[00:00:07] [SPEAKER_02]: For some trouble in it, here it comes. Yes, you are now listening to the sounds of Sports

[00:00:27] [SPEAKER_02]: Reports As Ordered. And tonight we decided to save the best for last, the mighty mighty SEC,

[00:00:38] [SPEAKER_02]: aka College Football's D Block. We're going to get into it tonight. Alabama, Georgia,

[00:00:44] [SPEAKER_02]: Texas, Oklahoma, LSU, Tennessee, Ole Miss, so on and so forth. And I got with me the even killed.

[00:00:55] [SPEAKER_02]: Born in Texas, raised in VA, representing New Jerus, talking about

[00:01:00] [SPEAKER_02]: Ruckers gonna make the playoffs. He is Mr. Lodger.

[00:01:07] [SPEAKER_02]: What's goody? Don't bring feelings to a fact fight. Don't do it. And then of course you got

[00:01:13] [SPEAKER_02]: me, your unorthodox statistician down in the Alamo representing Baltimore, Maryland.

[00:01:22] [SPEAKER_02]: Two five. One left so much you thought I was soft pop.

[00:01:27] [SPEAKER_02]: So we go get this thing started with a little something we like to call

[00:01:29] [SPEAKER_02]: Get It Off My Chest. Mr. Lodger, the floor is yours. Oh, the floor is mine. I'm starting

[00:01:36] [SPEAKER_02]: this off. You are. And before he gets started, like, subscribe, share, rate, do all the free

[00:01:43] [SPEAKER_01]: things, do all the good things. Absolutely. Absolutely. Well, you know, my Get It Off My

[00:01:50] [SPEAKER_01]: Chest is just kind of simple. You know, like I said, Mike gets into the stats, I get into

[00:01:55] [SPEAKER_01]: like the, you know, like the stuff behind it, not necessarily like all the, all feelings

[00:02:01] [SPEAKER_01]: or anything like that. But I like to break down the nonsense, the nonsensical stuff

[00:02:06] [SPEAKER_01]: that I hear from people that talk to me, even some of the times I've said some nonsensical

[00:02:11] [SPEAKER_01]: things and somebody threw it back in my face. Like, are you right? I'm good. My mom called

[00:02:15] [SPEAKER_01]: me Mr. Lodger my whole life essentially. So the NFL been pissing in our pockets and

[00:02:22] [SPEAKER_01]: telling us, Rainnett, you tell me you want to reduce concussions, but you also want

[00:02:31] [SPEAKER_01]: to increase kickoff returns. So you have this new kickoff setup, which is just,

[00:02:37] [SPEAKER_01]: it's just ugly. I just don't like it. I'm not a, I'm not a big fan of change. I just don't like it.

[00:02:43] [SPEAKER_01]: But the main thing I don't like is like, I don't like the reason that they're trying to sell me

[00:02:47] [SPEAKER_01]: on it. It was the same way when I like, I, when every time I heard Raheem and Terry Fontenot

[00:02:53] [SPEAKER_01]: talk about the Pinnix pick, like, listen, you just be like, hey, we need insurance,

[00:02:59] [SPEAKER_01]: this is insurance. We thought he was the best player. Like, you don't have to spin,

[00:03:03] [SPEAKER_01]: we hope it doesn't play. I don't need all that extra stuff. Just give me the real,

[00:03:07] [SPEAKER_01]: let me run with it. Just tell me the truth. The NFL said that they want to reduce concussions.

[00:03:12] [SPEAKER_01]: So they set up this new format, but essentially every single kickoff, the expectation is that

[00:03:19] [SPEAKER_01]: someone runs the ball back. So that means at a minimum two people will be colliding the ball

[00:03:27] [SPEAKER_01]: and whoever tackles them, coupled with the other 10 blockers and the other 10 tacklers. So 22 people

[00:03:35] [SPEAKER_01]: are going to be making vicious contact every time because your expectation is you have to run

[00:03:42] [SPEAKER_01]: it back. And if you kick it into the end zone, the other team gets set to 30. I have a feeling

[00:03:46] [SPEAKER_01]: that most NFL teams is going to be like, you know what? We're giving up too many yards

[00:03:50] [SPEAKER_01]: because one missed tackle. You're at the 40. So I think a lot of teams will start kicking

[00:03:56] [SPEAKER_01]: to the end zone and it's going to look even goofier. It's going to look like an even dumber

[00:04:00] [SPEAKER_01]: touchback situation they had a year before. But you say you do it to reduce concussions,

[00:04:05] [SPEAKER_01]: but meanwhile you're still in conversations about having an 18th game. And this is after

[00:04:11] [SPEAKER_01]: the initial billion dollar lawsuit, you change it to 16 games. And yeah, you have all the

[00:04:16] [SPEAKER_01]: rules about the penalties and everything else, but you can't legislate the contact out of it.

[00:04:21] [SPEAKER_01]: I was talking about this at work and one of my coworkers, you give him credit,

[00:04:25] [SPEAKER_01]: a guy named Q was like, if they just paid for the insurance after the fact,

[00:04:33] [SPEAKER_01]: and then allow people, allow the conversation to be like, Hey, I know I'm playing this game

[00:04:39] [SPEAKER_01]: at my own risk. We know you're playing the game at the risk for us to profit.

[00:04:45] [SPEAKER_01]: When you are done playing, we will supply you with medical insurance to where you can get your

[00:04:52] [SPEAKER_01]: ailments that you approved from playing football taken care of. Same thing with the military.

[00:04:58] [SPEAKER_01]: You can do two years. You can do 22 years. If your paperwork is right, your disability

[00:05:03] [SPEAKER_01]: rating is a certain number. You can still get your medical care. You just got to pay for it.

[00:05:09] [SPEAKER_01]: Pay a little co-pay when you pay. You pay an annual, I pay monthly like mine is divided up

[00:05:16] [SPEAKER_01]: over 12 monthly payments. It's not much, but I have to pay for it now that I'm not active duty.

[00:05:21] [SPEAKER_01]: So they understand, Hey, send you to these appointments, make you wear these boots. Your

[00:05:24] [SPEAKER_01]: feet are flat carrying this, climbing up this ladder, lifting this refrigerator, the ladders,

[00:05:28] [SPEAKER_01]: you can put in a jet. All these things can potentially hurt you. So when we get out,

[00:05:32] [SPEAKER_01]: we're going to make sure you square it away. Just do that. Just be honest as a,

[00:05:36] [SPEAKER_01]: we'll take care of you. But as of right now, we need you to produce yards and touchdowns.

[00:05:43] [SPEAKER_01]: So all the fantasy football affiliates and all the gambling affiliates cut us our $100 million

[00:05:49] [SPEAKER_01]: season check. So we need touchdowns. We need big plays and we need the novice

[00:05:56] [SPEAKER_01]: who are just getting into football doesn't really know anything about it. And they do it

[00:06:00] [SPEAKER_01]: for fantasy football. We need something that's going to entertain them. I find it very

[00:06:04] [SPEAKER_01]: entertaining if a safety cuts off a deep post route for an interception. I think it's a good

[00:06:10] [SPEAKER_01]: look. Someone who's playing fantasy football might really need that quarterback or wide receiver

[00:06:15] [SPEAKER_01]: to get that touchdown. I think the safety made a great play, but I like football. But if I'm

[00:06:21] [SPEAKER_01]: just watching because I got an over under on yards for CD lamb and someone picked that off,

[00:06:28] [SPEAKER_01]: I might be pissed. So let me fix that by giving you these kickoff returns. So

[00:06:35] [SPEAKER_01]: don't piss my pocket and tell me it's raining. You don't go to 18 games anyway,

[00:06:39] [SPEAKER_01]: give them two buys, pay for their medical insurance. And another thing I add on,

[00:06:43] [SPEAKER_01]: I want to give credit to Q for this as well. I told him I was going to bring it up on the

[00:06:46] [SPEAKER_01]: show instead of having a Superbowl on Sunday night and everyone has to figure out getting

[00:06:52] [SPEAKER_01]: to work. Have it Saturday night. There's nothing else on. It's still prime time.

[00:07:00] [SPEAKER_01]: Just have it Saturday night because there's still something like if it shifts,

[00:07:04] [SPEAKER_01]: then the Superbowl will be the Sunday before president's day, which is normally like the

[00:07:08] [SPEAKER_01]: third Monday. It was like just having on Saturday night. I'm like, that's an idea.

[00:07:16] [SPEAKER_01]: I don't know. But like, I mean, they get two weeks off anyway. So it's not like you're

[00:07:19] [SPEAKER_01]: letting them short, but like Saturday night. Because it's not like they do much on Saturday

[00:07:24] [SPEAKER_01]: night before the Superbowl anyway. I don't think they have like a concert or anything like that.

[00:07:29] [SPEAKER_01]: So, but that's an idea. But yeah, just be honest. If you're going to take the money,

[00:07:35] [SPEAKER_01]: take care of the people, let them play the way they're going to play.

[00:07:38] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah. So much for player safety too, huh?

[00:07:42] [SPEAKER_01]: It's, I don't think it was ever really about player safety because no matter what,

[00:07:47] [SPEAKER_01]: you're still playing a dangerous context for it. Like

[00:07:51] [SPEAKER_01]: five guys is probably on top of each other.

[00:07:53] [SPEAKER_02]: From the 18 game standpoint.

[00:07:56] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, 18 games. I mean, hell, if we, as we don't talk about the SEC and championships,

[00:08:02] [SPEAKER_01]: I think the college players are going to be around 16 games.

[00:08:05] [SPEAKER_02]: And you know, so yeah, like player safety has gone out the window. It was never really

[00:08:09] [SPEAKER_02]: a thing. It was just cute words that people wanted to say to make it sound like they

[00:08:14] [SPEAKER_02]: actually cared. You know, but speaking of football, we are less than two days away

[00:08:24] [SPEAKER_02]: from Dublin, Ireland, Florida state, Seminoles, Georgia tech, yellow jackets.

[00:08:30] [SPEAKER_02]: You get a conference game right off top ACC all time. Florida state leads the series 15 to 11.

[00:08:39] [SPEAKER_02]: You know, played in the ACC title game against each other twice.

[00:08:42] [SPEAKER_02]: Can't say that about Miami because, you know, then you got kick sixes.

[00:08:50] [SPEAKER_02]: You got last second field goals. We are here. DJ use first game.

[00:08:56] [SPEAKER_02]: You know, he left Clemson went to Oregon state. Nobody cared about that.

[00:09:00] [SPEAKER_02]: Now he's back in the ACC got a game against Clemson coming up this year.

[00:09:05] [SPEAKER_02]: This is what college football is about. Right?

[00:09:07] [SPEAKER_02]: Rivalry. It's all about opening week and close games and Florida state and Georgia tech for

[00:09:13] [SPEAKER_02]: Saturday is the only game worth a damn. You know, you got New Mexico coached by Bronco Mendenhall

[00:09:23] [SPEAKER_02]: as underdog underdogs by double digits to an FCS team.

[00:09:31] [SPEAKER_02]: You know, you got SMU traveling to Nevada.

[00:09:34] [SPEAKER_01]: You must love coaching. If you're coaching a FBS school,

[00:09:38] [SPEAKER_01]: that's so bad that they're double digit underdogs at FCS school.

[00:09:41] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah. And then of course, next Thursday we get things started with coach prime

[00:09:46] [SPEAKER_02]: in North Dakota state. You know, you got Minnesota coast in North Carolina.

[00:09:53] [SPEAKER_02]: College football is here. So I know, I know you NFL fans are waiting for September 5th,

[00:09:58] [SPEAKER_02]: you know, chiefs and Ravens, but we go and take it for now. Let college football reign supreme.

[00:10:07] [SPEAKER_02]: That's it. You know what I'm saying? So now as we're on the subject of college football,

[00:10:14] [SPEAKER_02]: you know, it's preview season. So we then gave you the ACC, the big 12, the big 10.

[00:10:21] [SPEAKER_02]: So it's only right that we finish it off with the mighty mighty SEC. Now there's a

[00:10:28] [SPEAKER_02]: lot of storylines in the SEC this year. You know, here's a few of them. One can LSU stop anybody?

[00:10:36] [SPEAKER_02]: You know, number two, what is and what will Tennessee be with the 12 team playoff?

[00:10:45] [SPEAKER_02]: Is the SEC playoff dominance over? Is Georgia schedule just a little bit too much?

[00:10:52] [SPEAKER_02]: We know Florida's is, you know, and then, you know, why, why did the SEC not give us Texas

[00:11:01] [SPEAKER_02]: and Bama this year? You know, the last two years that's been some of the best games of

[00:11:07] [SPEAKER_02]: the season. No, don't got it this year. But Mr. logical, the question that I want to ask you

[00:11:14] [SPEAKER_02]: already now that the SEC just like the rest of these power conferences don't have any divisions,

[00:11:22] [SPEAKER_02]: are there any teams that you think it benefits or hurts by not having divisions anymore?

[00:11:31] [SPEAKER_01]: Anybody who's in the SEC West, they're happy now. They're happy because they might have a shot.

[00:11:43] [SPEAKER_01]: I know with we talked about the big 10 the other day.

[00:11:46] [SPEAKER_01]: I think now maybe the pressure's off a little bit on the top teams. I want to give,

[00:11:54] [SPEAKER_01]: I want to give credit, but I forgot, I believe it was Joel Clatt that said,

[00:11:58] [SPEAKER_01]: was it Joel Clatt or maybe Colin Howard? It might be some games that you might rest a guy,

[00:12:09] [SPEAKER_01]: your starter who's like tweet something at practice or from the previous game.

[00:12:16] [SPEAKER_01]: You might rest them knowing that, you know, I'll take this talent off the field. Because even if

[00:12:22] [SPEAKER_01]: we lose the season so long, so many teams get into the playoffs that we might just be able to

[00:12:30] [SPEAKER_01]: overcome it, give this guy a couple of weeks to come instead of coming back with five.

[00:12:36] [SPEAKER_01]: We'll play that tough game without you because we have these opportunities.

[00:12:39] [SPEAKER_01]: I think some of the top schools with real depth, they're going to be able to take

[00:12:44] [SPEAKER_01]: advantage of that. I'm not sure if every school is going to have the wide receiver depth to where

[00:12:49] [SPEAKER_01]: you can rest two guys and you got two, three or four star guys coming off the bench that are

[00:12:55] [SPEAKER_01]: equally as far as size production that can give you those same numbers.

[00:13:00] [SPEAKER_01]: I think the top teams like, you know, your standard top teams for SEC, Alabama, Georgia,

[00:13:05] [SPEAKER_01]: LSU and now Missouri, I think those seems to be fine. Maybe throw in an Ole Miss

[00:13:10] [SPEAKER_01]: just because I think they have excellent recruiter head coaches and just like the program tends to

[00:13:18] [SPEAKER_01]: just kind of reload, retool every year. Team like South Carolina, Tennessee now kind of on

[00:13:25] [SPEAKER_01]: up and coming, Texas A&M with their flux, they're going to have to be on it. They can't

[00:13:31] [SPEAKER_01]: hope that somebody else slips. They're going to have to stay like on top of the game.

[00:13:35] [SPEAKER_01]: But I think some of your top teams in SEC, just like every year, even with the 14

[00:13:39] [SPEAKER_01]: playoff, your top three SEC schools were never really out of the running to be in the

[00:13:44] [SPEAKER_01]: comfortable playoff until they got that second loss. Once you got that second loss, it was like,

[00:13:50] [SPEAKER_01]: okay, it's kind of hard to go to, like I said, go to the podium and rationalize it.

[00:13:53] [SPEAKER_01]: But you probably get two losses. You might get two losses. That's what I said. So the

[00:13:58] [SPEAKER_01]: top five, your top five school, like I said, Georgia, Missouri, Alabama, Ole Miss, Texas,

[00:14:06] [SPEAKER_01]: I think they're fine. Everybody else is going to have to really be on their P's and Q's.

[00:14:11] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, so I think that if you're a team, like you said, the SEC West, if you're a team like,

[00:14:16] [SPEAKER_02]: say Mississippi State, if you could get yourself together and not have to play

[00:14:21] [SPEAKER_02]: Bama every year, not have to play Texas every year, LSU every year, whatever it may be.

[00:14:28] [SPEAKER_02]: If you're Florida, you're probably going to play Georgia and Tennessee every year,

[00:14:32] [SPEAKER_02]: but you might miss Kentucky, so on and so forth. But of course taking it from the top and like you

[00:14:39] [SPEAKER_02]: brought it up, we got change in the SEC. There's a guy by the name of Nick Saban who had been in

[00:14:48] [SPEAKER_02]: Alabama since 2007. And it's ridiculous, right? He won six national titles there.

[00:14:53] [SPEAKER_02]: He already had a previous national title at LSU. But what's crazy about it is his overall

[00:14:58] [SPEAKER_02]: record at Alabama was 206 and 29. He lost seven games his first year there. So from 2008 through

[00:15:09] [SPEAKER_02]: last year, he lost 22 games. Oh, true, and 22. Yeah, so that's just bananas, right? So,

[00:15:17] [SPEAKER_02]: you know, but I'm here to tell you, Alabama fans, you're going to lose this season.

[00:15:23] [SPEAKER_01]: And not only that, I imagine that some kind of investigation is going to come out the

[00:15:28] [SPEAKER_01]: next eight months. Because Pete Carroll did it, Jim Harbaugh did it, Chip Kelly did it.

[00:15:35] [SPEAKER_01]: All these guys that kind of abruptly left really, really, really good college jobs

[00:15:39] [SPEAKER_01]: to either do nothing or take them really just mediocre NFL jobs. Something came out after

[00:15:47] [SPEAKER_01]: they left. Nick Saban's, like I'm saying, I'm just speculating. It just felt like someone

[00:15:54] [SPEAKER_01]: who had that kind of legacy, he said 206 and 29 in 15 seasons. That's the math of 15, 16 seasons.

[00:16:05] [SPEAKER_01]: Might be 16, but yeah. 16 seasons. Six national championships probably played in or was in the

[00:16:11] [SPEAKER_01]: running for up to about 11 or 12. So 70% of the time you're like literally either winning

[00:16:19] [SPEAKER_01]: national or competing for national championship. And you just retire at the end after losing in

[00:16:25] [SPEAKER_01]: the college football playoff and it's about to go to 12 teams. And not only that, but they were

[00:16:31] [SPEAKER_02]: a lot to go in. They were in overtime with the national champs, you know? So they were

[00:16:36] [SPEAKER_01]: a few plays away from playing for another national title. If the quarterback center exchange

[00:16:43] [SPEAKER_01]: was better, they probably win. I think if he gets that snap clean, he doesn't have to panic

[00:16:50] [SPEAKER_01]: and run right into the middle line. I think he gets an opportunity to make something happen.

[00:16:55] [SPEAKER_02]: But yeah, let me just go ahead and rip the bandaid off. You know, Bama is a four-loss

[00:17:01] [SPEAKER_02]: team this year. And the reason that they're a four-loss team is because I have to rely

[00:17:07] [SPEAKER_02]: on a dude named Jalen Milrow. Now we look back at this, we talked about this. This is a team

[00:17:13] [SPEAKER_02]: that made the playoff. They were in overtime with Michigan. They needed a fourth and 31

[00:17:21] [SPEAKER_02]: to beat one of the worst Auburn teams of my lifetime. That lost, an Auburn team that lost

[00:17:29] [SPEAKER_02]: at home by three touchdowns to New Mexico State the week before. Yeah. You know what I'm

[00:17:37] [SPEAKER_02]: looking at? Alabama now. They bring in Kaelin DeBoer from Washington who took Washington to

[00:17:41] [SPEAKER_02]: the national title game. 103 and 12 as a head coach. Alabama will be fine. Years down the road.

[00:17:51] [SPEAKER_02]: You got to implement the system. And the one thing about Kaelin DeBoer's system,

[00:17:56] [SPEAKER_02]: you gotta be able to throw the ball. The one thing that Jalen Milrow can't do

[00:18:02] [SPEAKER_02]: is make the correct throw from the pocket. Make an accurate throw that doesn't... Now,

[00:18:08] [SPEAKER_02]: don't get me wrong now. He will put the ball over your head.

[00:18:13] [SPEAKER_02]: But can Jalen Milrow make the third and eighth pass? Yeah, he's not surgical with the... He

[00:18:19] [SPEAKER_02]: doesn't break it down surgically with the ball. Think about this now. Who did Kaelin DeBoer

[00:18:24] [SPEAKER_02]: coach last year? Michael Pinnix. Jalen Milrow is nowhere near close, as Bill O'Brien.

[00:18:34] [SPEAKER_02]: And as we go forward, right, they got a good running game. Justice Haynes,

[00:18:40] [SPEAKER_02]: Jan Miller. They brought Kaden Proctor back on the offensive line. He transferred,

[00:18:45] [SPEAKER_02]: went back home to Iowa and then decided... Got paid. I gotta go back. Got paid.

[00:18:50] [SPEAKER_02]: And that part. But when I look at the defense, no Dallas Turner, no Kool-Aid McKinstry, no Terry

[00:18:59] [SPEAKER_02]: Arnold. Bama's in trouble. And so they got Georgia coming in on September 27th. They're

[00:19:05] [SPEAKER_02]: in trouble by Bama standards. Well, I'm just saying. They... They're not Texas A&M trouble.

[00:19:10] [SPEAKER_02]: They are not playing for the SEC Championship. They might not finish top three in the

[00:19:16] [SPEAKER_02]: conference. They're gonna lose to Georgia on September 27th. And you wanna talk about an

[00:19:24] [SPEAKER_01]: upset, I got Missouri going in there winning. And I think we break down Missouri. I don't know

[00:19:32] [SPEAKER_01]: if I find that to be an upset, because they... Like I said, they played Georgia very tough

[00:19:35] [SPEAKER_02]: last year. We talked about it in our pre-game. They play Georgia tough every time. Even when

[00:19:40] [SPEAKER_02]: they're a bad team, they still play Georgia well. So look at Alabama. They go to Camp

[00:19:46] [SPEAKER_02]: Randall, you know, to Wisconsin. So that could be troublesome. You know, I'll pick them

[00:19:51] [SPEAKER_02]: to win, but it could be troublesome. They gotta go to Tennessee. We remember what happened

[00:19:56] [SPEAKER_02]: last time they went to Tennessee. And they had Bryce Young then, and they got outgunned.

[00:20:01] [SPEAKER_02]: Now granted, Bryce Young put up 49 points, but they got outgunned by Hendon Hooker.

[00:20:06] [SPEAKER_02]: So now I'm bringing Jalen Milrow to play against Niko? Come on now. Something just

[00:20:14] [SPEAKER_02]: add up right there. So I'm going Tennessee in that game. They go to Death Valley to play LSU.

[00:20:21] [SPEAKER_02]: They go to Norman to play Oklahoma the week before they play Auburn. You know,

[00:20:27] [SPEAKER_02]: they pissed about that. That's usually the week that they play the Citadel.

[00:20:31] [SPEAKER_01]: That's usually the week they play... They play Mercer. They play Mercer the week before

[00:20:35] [SPEAKER_02]: Oklahoma. They normally play Mercer the week before Auburn. Yeah. Now you gotta go to

[00:20:40] [SPEAKER_02]: Norman. So it's not just, hey, there's a SEC game here. You're going to one of the toughest

[00:20:45] [SPEAKER_02]: places in the country to play. And then you have to turn back around and get up for your rival.

[00:20:52] [SPEAKER_02]: And don't be shocked if Auburn gets them this year, year two of Hugh Freeze.

[00:20:58] [SPEAKER_02]: So I mean, I'm just saying I can see Bama as bad, you know, relative. I can see Bama

[00:21:03] [SPEAKER_01]: as bad as seven and five. I mean, you make a solid case, for instance,

[00:21:11] [SPEAKER_01]: the Wisconsin game can be tough because it's at Wisconsin. They're going to play tough defense.

[00:21:16] [SPEAKER_01]: And if Jalen Milroy doesn't show in those first two games, because remember,

[00:21:20] [SPEAKER_01]: you at SF, he didn't play against him last year. He was benched or injured or...

[00:21:25] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah. And that game was hairy. I think they won like, was like 15 to 6.

[00:21:30] [SPEAKER_02]: It was 20 to 3 or it ended up being 20 to 3, but it was like three, nothing but halftime.

[00:21:36] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah. It was a close and muddy game. Yeah. So...

[00:21:40] [SPEAKER_02]: Don't forget now people out there, I know they get UCF or USF at home this year,

[00:21:47] [SPEAKER_02]: but let's not forget USF's head coach, Alex Golish. Who is Alex Golish? He's the guy

[00:21:54] [SPEAKER_02]: that called the game where they scored 52 on Alabama at Tennessee. So, you know,

[00:21:59] [SPEAKER_02]: he knows Bama, you know, or at least, you know, he's not afraid of Bama. He doesn't look

[00:22:03] [SPEAKER_02]: at Alabama and say, my team doesn't belong here. He's got a victory. I mean, he wasn't

[00:22:08] [SPEAKER_02]: head coach, but he's got a victory over Alabama. Yeah. And that was year one for him last year.

[00:22:15] [SPEAKER_01]: South Florida talent. Wisconsin is going to play Smash Mouth. The SEC, the one thing

[00:22:21] [SPEAKER_01]: about the SEC is that their trench players travel. Like you could put them anywhere.

[00:22:25] [SPEAKER_01]: There's probably one on every single NFL roster. On one side of the ball,

[00:22:30] [SPEAKER_01]: you have a guy from the SEC that is a major contributor on your team. Probably every NFL

[00:22:37] [SPEAKER_01]: roster. If we checked it, it's probably a dude from the SEC currently on the roster

[00:22:41] [SPEAKER_01]: that's being paid at the upper levels of his position. So they're going to be solid there.

[00:22:48] [SPEAKER_01]: Just are you going to be able to, if they take away, if they QB contain well and they

[00:22:54] [SPEAKER_01]: take away Jalen Murrow's opportunity to break the pocket, break contained,

[00:22:58] [SPEAKER_01]: and he has to throw it from the pocket. Oh, there we go. The kickoff rule is working out.

[00:23:03] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah. So like that's my concern because when it happens, because you talked about, sorry,

[00:23:09] [SPEAKER_01]: Bill O'Brien told him, because he talked about people count me out and I think people love him.

[00:23:13] [SPEAKER_01]: I think he's a good kid. I seen him when he saw Nick Saban at some award show and he went

[00:23:19] [SPEAKER_01]: into him. I believe people really enjoy him and like him. I like him. I liked his moment

[00:23:24] [SPEAKER_01]: when granted was a fourth and 31, but he was out there screaming, give me the Heisman.

[00:23:29] [SPEAKER_01]: But in the same sense, it's like, are you ready to take that next step in your passing game

[00:23:37] [SPEAKER_01]: to combo that with your running game? Because Jalen Hurts isn't like a prolific

[00:23:42] [SPEAKER_01]: pocket passer, but he makes great throws from the pocket when he needs to.

[00:23:48] [SPEAKER_02]: And you know, the other thing about that is he did finish sixth in the Heisman race,

[00:23:52] [SPEAKER_02]: you know, but we keep talking about fourth and 31. The guy that caught that pass, Isaiah Bond

[00:24:01] [SPEAKER_02]: is now a long horn. So, you know, Jermaine Burton, he's a bangle right now. So who's

[00:24:09] [SPEAKER_02]: catching the ball for Alabama? So that's a bad combination. I got a quarterback that can't throw

[00:24:15] [SPEAKER_02]: besides the deep ball. And I got receivers that are nondescript right now, you know,

[00:24:21] [SPEAKER_02]: so you hope that Kaelin DeBora can come in, sprinkle some of that magic and that pixie dust,

[00:24:27] [SPEAKER_02]: you know, but you know, his offensive coordinator, Ryan Grubb is the offensive

[00:24:31] [SPEAKER_02]: coordinator for the Seahawks right now. You know, you got some positive for Alabama, though,

[00:24:37] [SPEAKER_02]: on the defensive side of the ball, they bring in two head coaches to be coordinators. So they

[00:24:45] [SPEAKER_02]: bring in Kane Womack from South Alabama to be the defensive coordinator. He gave up his head

[00:24:51] [SPEAKER_02]: coaching position to do that. They got Maurice Linguist from Buffalo. He was the head coach

[00:24:57] [SPEAKER_02]: there. He came to Alabama to be a secondary coach. So most of these teams are trying to

[00:25:07] [SPEAKER_01]: I mean, if you want to coach talent, then Alabama is the place to be.

[00:25:15] [SPEAKER_01]: Because even with Kaelin DeBora, because even when Nick Saban had a few down years where,

[00:25:20] [SPEAKER_01]: you know, they weren't competing for national champions, they still had top talent. They

[00:25:24] [SPEAKER_01]: still were getting guys like Aja McCarran, and it all kind of turned around. You just need

[00:25:28] [SPEAKER_01]: that time for it to turn around. You know, Kaelin DeBora, he did this thing in Washington,

[00:25:33] [SPEAKER_01]: got watched into the national championship game, Michael Pinnix, Roman Dunze, a lot of top,

[00:25:38] [SPEAKER_01]: not first round draft picks. So having that wealth of talent is going to work out. But

[00:25:42] [SPEAKER_01]: like you said, you have the quarterback, can the quarterback make the plays you need?

[00:25:47] [SPEAKER_01]: Because in that game against Texas last year, there's some throws he probably should have been

[00:25:51] [SPEAKER_01]: able to make and maybe he'll do better this year. But it's gonna be a lot of pressure,

[00:25:56] [SPEAKER_01]: especially in those first couple of games before you go to Wisconsin. And we talked

[00:25:59] [SPEAKER_01]: those true road games that Alabama doesn't rarely play. This is gonna be one of them.

[00:26:05] [SPEAKER_01]: And that's a new environment for them. You know, these guys probably never played a game in

[00:26:12] [SPEAKER_01]: Wisconsin or a big game in the Big Ten on the road. So that's another thing. The

[00:26:18] [SPEAKER_02]: home field advantage is huge. Right. And you know, and that's the thing,

[00:26:23] [SPEAKER_02]: like, you know, Kaelin DeBora is a winner. So long term,

[00:26:26] [SPEAKER_02]: Bama's gonna be fine. But we talked about this year, you know what I mean? Like, so as it stands,

[00:26:32] [SPEAKER_02]: like I said, 103 and 12 record at Washington two years, he was 25 and three. So the man is a

[00:26:39] [SPEAKER_02]: winner. You know, it is what it is. But you got to start from somewhere. And talking about

[00:26:45] [SPEAKER_02]: winners. What about the Georgia Bulldogs? Like, Georgia got a schedule on them.

[00:26:53] [SPEAKER_02]: They got a schedule. Like I said before, they open up with Clemson right off the bat in that

[00:26:59] [SPEAKER_02]: neutral site game down in Atlanta. You know, they go to Kentucky two weeks after that.

[00:27:05] [SPEAKER_02]: The week after, or they get a buy and then they go to Bama. They come off of Bama and host

[00:27:11] [SPEAKER_02]: Auburn. They go to Texas two weeks after that. Then they get another buy. And then they go into

[00:27:17] [SPEAKER_02]: cocktail party against the Gators. Then they go to Ole Miss after that, host Tennessee after that.

[00:27:24] [SPEAKER_02]: So you know, so if this is like,

[00:27:27] [SPEAKER_01]: that this is here, you got to get them. Yeah, you got to get them in a year. This

[00:27:31] [SPEAKER_02]: is the year we trust Georgia because the name Georgia, like it makes sense. This is a good

[00:27:37] [SPEAKER_02]: team, talented, curvy smart might be the best coach in the country right now. You know,

[00:27:41] [SPEAKER_02]: he came from the saving tree and everything. So, so you know, right now he's poised to be the next

[00:27:48] [SPEAKER_02]: saving guy to go on that run. But now, you know, we got a 12 team playoff. So,

[00:27:52] [SPEAKER_02]: you know, we'll see how that goes. But when I look at Georgia, right, Carson Beck,

[00:27:57] [SPEAKER_02]: is he going to be the first quarterback drafted in the NFL next year? You know,

[00:28:01] [SPEAKER_02]: he came in last year, replaced Stetson Bennett. We had questions because Stetson Bennett was

[00:28:06] [SPEAKER_01]: such a gamer, such a winner. Carson, that came in. I don't see first overall quarterback when

[00:28:11] [SPEAKER_01]: see Carson. No, I don't see it either. But people are also lazy. All they do is they just look at

[00:28:18] [SPEAKER_01]: they look at literally Scouts, play for Georgia. They see, no, they watch the college football

[00:28:23] [SPEAKER_01]: playoff. They watched the last four teams play or they watch as they watch the championship weekend

[00:28:28] [SPEAKER_01]: and then they see who got selected for the four and then they just pick players off those

[00:28:32] [SPEAKER_01]: teams every year. The team with the most players wrapped in that draft one of them,

[00:28:37] [SPEAKER_01]: played in the college football playoff. It always is, they're probably always not even the best

[00:28:42] [SPEAKER_01]: players available. It's just the second Scouts don't watch that much college football. So,

[00:28:47] [SPEAKER_01]: they wait till the end. They get the best six teams and then they pull a bunch of players

[00:28:53] [SPEAKER_01]: from it because it was a couple years where Texas had three players drafted in NFL

[00:28:57] [SPEAKER_01]: when they were like they had their down year. There's still Texas talent players on that

[00:29:02] [SPEAKER_01]: team. They just were coached by Charlie Strong and then they weren't getting to

[00:29:07] [SPEAKER_01]: championship games. It was like three players. Miami wasn't getting players drafted. It's like

[00:29:12] [SPEAKER_01]: because they're not in the final, you know, they're not that final six. Well now it's going to be

[00:29:16] [SPEAKER_01]: 12. That's all the Scouts do is and that's why people think he's going to be number one pick.

[00:29:20] [SPEAKER_01]: I don't see number one overall pick. Number one overall pick in college, slices and dices,

[00:29:26] [SPEAKER_01]: college defenses every week. Every week Peyton Manning looked like the number one overall

[00:29:31] [SPEAKER_01]: pick. Caleb Williams, lack of emotion. If he wasn't always like so emotional about his wins

[00:29:36] [SPEAKER_01]: and losses on the field, he looked like he was sliced up number one pick. Shadoris Sanders for

[00:29:41] [SPEAKER_01]: the most part looks like he's slicing advice in college defenses. Yeah, Caleb Williams

[00:29:47] [SPEAKER_02]: confirmed that he's going to paint his nails every week. What's that gonna change?

[00:29:54] [SPEAKER_02]: Well, you know Georgia they had a problem last year but it was masked because they

[00:30:00] [SPEAKER_02]: were so great. Their running game was pretty much non-existent. So that was what made it strange

[00:30:06] [SPEAKER_02]: was because we're not used to Georgia and Kirby Smart throwing the ball all around the field.

[00:30:12] [SPEAKER_02]: So now they went out and got Trevor Etienne, brother of Travis. You know he was the Florida

[00:30:19] [SPEAKER_02]: Gator last year and now he switched sides, went from the Bloods to the Crips and here you

[00:30:25] [SPEAKER_02]: know now Georgia has a running game and everybody else is shaking in fear. You know Georgia of

[00:30:31] [SPEAKER_02]: course they got defense. You know they got you know Mikel Williams over there who could also be

[00:30:39] [SPEAKER_02]: the first draft pick, the number one draft pick. You know or at least a top five pick.

[00:30:45] [SPEAKER_02]: You know they have Nazir Stackhouse and Warren Brinson on the line. So Georgia's going to

[00:30:50] [SPEAKER_02]: pressure which in turn creates turnovers. So this is where like I said Georgia's going to

[00:30:55] [SPEAKER_02]: beat Alabama. This is where they're going to force Jalen Milrow into making some of those

[00:31:01] [SPEAKER_02]: throws. He's going to have to try to check down and do these things that he's not good at

[00:31:05] [SPEAKER_02]: because that's what coaches like Kirby Smart do. Coaches like Bill Belichick,

[00:31:10] [SPEAKER_02]: they take what you do best. Yeah so they're going to take that deep ball away and you're

[00:31:19] [SPEAKER_02]: not skipping. We're still talking about Georgia but with Texas when they play Texas you know

[00:31:25] [SPEAKER_02]: Texas then already lost two running backs you know before the season even started. They're down

[00:31:30] [SPEAKER_02]: to Jaden Blue. They went and grabbed a guy out the portal the other day. So one if you can't

[00:31:36] [SPEAKER_02]: run the ball against a team like Georgia and you're one dimensional don't even show up.

[00:31:42] [SPEAKER_01]: Because when Georgia gets the ball back, when you have to punt it,

[00:31:46] [SPEAKER_01]: they're going to trot out an offensive line. I'll read this off of cbs.com from July 8, 2024.

[00:31:55] [SPEAKER_01]: The Great Wall of Georgia gets bigger. Average size of UGA's incoming offensive lineman

[00:32:01] [SPEAKER_01]: six foot seven three hundred and forty pounds. It's a lot of people. So that means a couple of

[00:32:08] [SPEAKER_01]: six eight three fifty and maybe one is six six three thirty. That is six seven three

[00:32:16] [SPEAKER_01]: forty offensive line. And they're going to lay on you. Nineteen to twenty two. So

[00:32:21] [SPEAKER_01]: we talk about their schedule. If you can't match that level of physicality from your

[00:32:29] [SPEAKER_01]: defensive line, I think that coupled with the fact I believe their quarterback is you know like

[00:32:37] [SPEAKER_01]: I've been in college for a while. So I think I think that I think they'll be fine.

[00:32:41] [SPEAKER_02]: So I think looking at their schedule, Bama has an offensive line that can match up with

[00:32:48] [SPEAKER_02]: Georgia's defensive line potentially. Tennessee has both sides of the ball offensive line and

[00:32:56] [SPEAKER_02]: defensive line that could give Georgia not necessarily give them trouble but they could

[00:33:04] [SPEAKER_02]: work. And then Ole Miss has a defensive line because they went and got Walter Nolan who was

[00:33:10] [SPEAKER_02]: one of the best players if not the best player on that great Texas A&M recruiting class of 2021.

[00:33:18] [SPEAKER_02]: You know he's that guy. He's going to hell out of recruiting battle. That

[00:33:23] [SPEAKER_02]: recruiting championship goes to Texas A&M. I'm sure they got a banner. Remember Tennessee had

[00:33:27] [SPEAKER_02]: champions of life trophy a couple of years ago. So you know Georgia ain't going anywhere.

[00:33:34] [SPEAKER_02]: Like I said the schedule is tough to bear but when I really think about it who can I see

[00:33:41] [SPEAKER_02]: beating Georgia because like I look at Clemson right and I tell myself yeah Clemson's defense

[00:33:47] [SPEAKER_02]: can make life tough for Georgia. But can Cade Kluvnik do anything against Georgia?

[00:33:53] [SPEAKER_02]: You know I don't think so. You know I look at say Alabama I already talked about Jalen

[00:33:59] [SPEAKER_02]: Miller roll. I'm not going to beat it at nauseam. You know I look at Tennessee. Tennessee I

[00:34:04] [SPEAKER_02]: think has a decent shot to match up with Georgia but the problem is it's in Athens. If

[00:34:10] [SPEAKER_02]: it was at Tennessee maybe I'd give them a fighting chance. You know Texas has a chance

[00:34:14] [SPEAKER_02]: just because it's at home but if Texas can't run the ball then you know lights out and

[00:34:20] [SPEAKER_02]: you know who else is left after that. You got to hope that Kentucky.

[00:34:25] [SPEAKER_02]: So what I'm saying is is that Georgia 12 and 0 is on the table regardless of how tough this

[00:34:31] [SPEAKER_02]: schedule is. You know but with the schedule could they go 9 and 3 if Carson Beck has a bad game

[00:34:41] [SPEAKER_01]: or two or three I guess. So if you're if you are thinking they go 9 and 3 that means

[00:34:51] [SPEAKER_01]: in my mind Cade Kluvnik has a great game. That doesn't seem likely. I don't think it's game.

[00:35:00] [SPEAKER_01]: I don't think a great game out of him is great enough to beat Georgia.

[00:35:06] [SPEAKER_01]: I mean Jalen Miller has a great game because it's home. They got to go to

[00:35:10] [SPEAKER_01]: they got to go to Tuscaloosa. Granted it's not far geographically but it is home.

[00:35:15] [SPEAKER_02]: Right and I like these coaching matchups. Don't forget Clemson's offensive coordinator

[00:35:21] [SPEAKER_02]: was the offensive coordinator when Georgia put up that 65 to 7 in the national title game.

[00:35:30] [SPEAKER_01]: Old Texas I mean I think when you're at Ole Miss I think that's the game.

[00:35:36] [SPEAKER_01]: I think that's the game. I just I just have recent memory of

[00:35:43] [SPEAKER_02]: Ole Miss kind of just yeah Georgia beat them last year. I think it was 52 to 17 or something

[00:35:50] [SPEAKER_01]: yeah just like not having those like those moments multiple times a year because we're

[00:35:56] [SPEAKER_01]: going to get the Ole Miss. I think Ole Miss is probably going to win a big game against

[00:36:02] [SPEAKER_01]: somebody early in the season and then this November 9th game against Georgia.

[00:36:10] [SPEAKER_01]: I don't know if they're going to be up to task for that. Like right now they're preseason

[00:36:13] [SPEAKER_01]: ranked number six. I don't I can't imagine this took me six that late in the season.

[00:36:18] [SPEAKER_01]: They they're like but I just think I just think like they just they they drop a game somewhere.

[00:36:23] [SPEAKER_02]: We'll get there but if you look at Ole Miss' schedule it sets up. It does set up. You know

[00:36:29] [SPEAKER_01]: what I'm saying but we'll get there. So three losses for Georgia I don't see because I just

[00:36:34] [SPEAKER_01]: think I don't think there's a team that out guns them on paper. Well like I told you

[00:36:45] [SPEAKER_01]: when we first started I can't see them losing. I can't I can't I don't think there's a team

[00:36:49] [SPEAKER_01]: on their schedule that can match them position group for position group.

[00:36:53] [SPEAKER_01]: Well like I told you when we first started losing three times it seems unlikely. Yeah

[00:36:58] [SPEAKER_02]: like I was saying when we were doing previews and when we did the Big Ten preview the other

[00:37:02] [SPEAKER_02]: day all things created equal. A national title game should be Ohio State against Georgia.

[00:37:09] [SPEAKER_02]: You know all things created equal you know but that's why they play the games on the field

[00:37:14] [SPEAKER_01]: right. So we'll see. Yeah but in college college is different like we saw the game last year

[00:37:19] [SPEAKER_01]: Texas versus Rice and it looked like it was going to be a game. Well two things

[00:37:24] [SPEAKER_01]: Rice's sideline was being cooked the entire time literally like the sun was just leaning

[00:37:29] [SPEAKER_01]: on it. I can't believe you did there. Oh the Rice was being cooked.

[00:37:35] [SPEAKER_01]: Such a wordsmith. No and then Texas was chilling and then Texas was doing defensive

[00:37:41] [SPEAKER_01]: line swaps like an NBA team. They were swapping out five guys at a time.

[00:37:45] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah they were doing these mass swaps the whole second half. So what's the guy that's been to

[00:37:50] [SPEAKER_01]: like 11 colleges in seven years the quarterback. Oh JT Daniels. JT Daniels. Yeah who played at

[00:37:57] [SPEAKER_01]: Georgia at one point. Yeah he was just getting hit with waves and waves of you know somewhat

[00:38:02] [SPEAKER_01]: fresh bodies and I think that's the difference in college football. That's why the upsets are

[00:38:09] [SPEAKER_01]: because just eventually if you if your coach coaching staff and your core players can keep

[00:38:15] [SPEAKER_01]: stay level headed stay on the field don't get ejected anything like that. If you have your

[00:38:20] [SPEAKER_01]: six seven three hundred forty pound offensive line and you say you know what this next drive

[00:38:26] [SPEAKER_01]: I don't want to see a pass. Right. I want to run the ball. I want two tight ends. My biggest

[00:38:31] [SPEAKER_01]: running back and my offensive line and we're just going half back dive all the way down

[00:38:37] [SPEAKER_01]: the field and serve our dominance. You do that early in the second quarter you can take

[00:38:42] [SPEAKER_01]: a take a team out and I think that's a difference with college talent. That's why like that's why

[00:38:47] [SPEAKER_01]: it's always surprised me when teams have talent and they lose but you know like what with

[00:38:53] [SPEAKER_01]: Alabama like you know with Georgia I think Curry's mother said happen. I think all the

[00:38:57] [SPEAKER_01]: winning is kind of just I think it permeates to the building. I think you can see it in the

[00:39:02] [SPEAKER_01]: facilities. You can see it in the equipment. You can see it in the fan turnout. It's just

[00:39:06] [SPEAKER_01]: too much of a winning culture to lose three games this year when they essentially have

[00:39:13] [SPEAKER_02]: probably the best team in the best conference. Yeah so what does Texas do for on core. You

[00:39:20] [SPEAKER_02]: know they made the college football playoff last year lost to Washington. You know they

[00:39:25] [SPEAKER_02]: went into Tuscaloosa and beat Alabama last year. That was the most important one of the

[00:39:30] [SPEAKER_02]: year. Yeah like I mentioned no bam on their schedule this year you know without the top

[00:39:36] [SPEAKER_02]: two running backs you know or at least I should say their first running back and their third

[00:39:41] [SPEAKER_02]: running back. They still have the second running back. Xavier Worthy is gone. A.D. Mitchell's

[00:39:47] [SPEAKER_02]: gone on defense. You know Tavondre Sweat gone. Byron Murphy gone. So like Mr. Logical said

[00:39:55] [SPEAKER_02]: you know they were swapping out these dudes like a platoon but that's easy to do when

[00:40:00] [SPEAKER_02]: you got those two dudes as well. You know what I mean? When we can leave one of them on the

[00:40:05] [SPEAKER_02]: field with some of these other guys. You know so when I look at Texas you know like I said I look

[00:40:11] [SPEAKER_02]: at their schedule and you know they start out with Colorado State so they'll be fine. Then

[00:40:17] [SPEAKER_02]: they go to Ann Arbor. So that's going to be a big one and you know like Mr. Logical said

[00:40:21] [SPEAKER_02]: the other day he's picking Texas to win. You know and my question is can Texas push them

[00:40:27] [SPEAKER_02]: around? Can Texas hold up? Can Texas run the ball? Sort of the same thing I was asking about

[00:40:33] [SPEAKER_02]: Georgia. You know can Texas be tough enough to win that game? Because prior to last year

[00:40:39] [SPEAKER_02]: Sark was one of those coaches that and I mean this might be the start of his run.

[00:40:43] [SPEAKER_02]: I know Nick Saban was the same way at LSU like they would always lose to somebody. They would

[00:40:49] [SPEAKER_02]: always end up with three losses somehow even though they had all this talent. You know Texas

[00:40:54] [SPEAKER_02]: you know they get they get Oklahoma on October 12th. So after the Michigan game they're on

[00:40:59] [SPEAKER_02]: control for their next three games. They get the Oklahoma game but this is the problem Mr. Logical.

[00:41:06] [SPEAKER_02]: They get Oklahoma and Georgia back to back you know like the good news is

[00:41:13] [SPEAKER_02]: it's at neither one of their places because they play OU at Dallas every year

[00:41:17] [SPEAKER_02]: you know and they're getting Georgia in their place. So and the crowd and the crowd's 50-50 so

[00:41:23] [SPEAKER_02]: yeah yeah yeah advantage for location yeah they do play Florida on November 9th but that's at home

[00:41:29] [SPEAKER_02]: as well. You know the week after that they get Arkansas which I love coach Sam Pittman saying

[00:41:35] [SPEAKER_02]: these Arkansas fans rather Texas lose than us win which is funny because they haven't been

[00:41:42] [SPEAKER_02]: in the same conference with Texas since 1992. That's madness you know what I mean?

[00:41:50] [SPEAKER_02]: Be friends deep. But then the last game of the season they come down to College Station

[00:41:56] [SPEAKER_02]: to play the Aggies who they have not played. It's a disgusting act of negligence that they

[00:42:02] [SPEAKER_02]: haven't played Texas A&M since 2009 you know but this is the first time since then

[00:42:08] [SPEAKER_02]: that crowd is going to be jacked at Kyle Field. The 12th man is going to be ready.

[00:42:13] [SPEAKER_02]: So when I look at Texas you know best case scenario

[00:42:18] [SPEAKER_01]: best case scenario you lose to Georgia. You know but I can find 11-1 to 9-3.

[00:42:26] [SPEAKER_02]: I say I say possible 8-4. I don't see four though. I could see four you know because

[00:42:32] [SPEAKER_01]: uh you know like unless you're all the all their preseason ranked teams you got Michigan

[00:42:39] [SPEAKER_01]: OU Georgia Texas A&M. There you go that's the four. Those are your four? I'm not saying

[00:42:45] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm not saying that that's going to happen. But yeah but basically yeah that's the rest of

[00:42:50] [SPEAKER_01]: if you look at the rest of the schedule I don't think there's really yeah I don't

[00:42:53] [SPEAKER_01]: think any other teams will end up ranked at any point. No there's not much of a threat

[00:42:57] [SPEAKER_02]: you know um they they lost to Oklahoma last year on the last position you know Dylan

[00:43:03] [SPEAKER_02]: Gabriel is in Oregon now so Jackson Arnold is taking over. I don't see the Jackson Arnold love

[00:43:08] [SPEAKER_01]: but apparently and Renable isn't a great offensive coach. He was rarely a good defensive coach.

[00:43:18] [SPEAKER_01]: You know oh you're gonna have a pretty good defense this year you know uh DC you torched

[00:43:22] [SPEAKER_01]: him a couple years ago. I was like I thought he was a defensive guy. Well you gotta remember

[00:43:27] [SPEAKER_02]: you know he came in there with Lincoln Riley. Sorry ass defensive players. Yeah but even

[00:43:31] [SPEAKER_01]: with that you could teach cover two and cover three and cover four. I guess you could but

[00:43:37] [SPEAKER_02]: wide open it was covering nothing. You know how about uh the Rebels old miss you know coming off

[00:43:44] [SPEAKER_02]: their first you know their their biggest win total in school history 11 wins. This is the

[00:43:49] [SPEAKER_02]: highest that they've been ranked in a preseason poll since 1970. We talking JFK you know uh

[00:43:58] [SPEAKER_02]: Lane Kiffin always the question can he win the big game? He does a lot of talking, he

[00:44:04] [SPEAKER_02]: does the swag thing. Second swag he is coaching in college football. Unlike Deion you know saying

[00:44:12] [SPEAKER_02]: so far because I mean I don't want to be unfair Deion's only been there a year but you know but

[00:44:17] [SPEAKER_02]: Lane Kiffin has walked some walk. I mean he did beat Penn State last year you know um they

[00:44:23] [SPEAKER_02]: just there's no shame I guess in losing to Bama and Georgia. You know those were the only

[00:44:29] [SPEAKER_02]: losses last year and he provokes people you know before the Alabama game you know he did

[00:44:35] [SPEAKER_02]: the Taylor Swift you know castles crumbling and all that and you know so this is where he gets

[00:44:41] [SPEAKER_02]: himself in trouble but they got Jackson Dark coming back 3,364 yards 23 touchdowns five

[00:44:47] [SPEAKER_02]: interceptions. They got a lot of Utah let him get out of the state. Yeah hey sometimes

[00:44:53] [SPEAKER_01]: you don't have a choice. He went to USC and then but I'm like you like I mean I know

[00:44:59] [SPEAKER_02]: get off topic but you know I mean a name like Jackson Dark sounds like a California.

[00:45:04] [SPEAKER_01]: No no it's Jackson with an X that's all Utah. I know. J-A-X-S-O-N that's that's that's Davis

[00:45:11] [SPEAKER_01]: County. Weaver County. That's Weaver County all the way uh but um shout out to Jeff and

[00:45:20] [SPEAKER_01]: Heather there says his name is Jackson but it's no S uh my little nephew but yeah so

[00:45:27] [SPEAKER_01]: like I say Utah was always like a quarterback away in those years in the Mountain West and then when

[00:45:32] [SPEAKER_01]: they went to the Pac-12 it's like you were a playmaking quarterback away and I see multiple

[00:45:36] [SPEAKER_01]: guys end up out of like not going to Utah like end up out of state so but he's been there

[00:45:42] [SPEAKER_01]: for a while. Like I said Lane Kiffin second swaggiest coach in the NCAA. He's been using

[00:45:49] [SPEAKER_01]: that NIL money and opportunity since it started like he had the guys driving the Bentley around

[00:45:55] [SPEAKER_01]: he's sitting in the passenger seat got him taking their little their their photos with a visit with

[00:46:01] [SPEAKER_01]: the Bentley so as soon as now they got a Bentley in the backfield. So like yeah so yeah in the

[00:46:08] [SPEAKER_02]: backfield now Quinshawn Junkins decided to go to Columbus Ohio so now Ulysses Bentley the fourth

[00:46:15] [SPEAKER_02]: is going to take over at running back. He's been on the roster he was the backup.

[00:46:20] [SPEAKER_02]: Now the problem for Ole Miss is I don't know if they have a running back that can get the fourth

[00:46:27] [SPEAKER_02]: and one you know that's what I think they're missing so they went out like I said on defense

[00:46:33] [SPEAKER_02]: got Walter Nolan you know who is one of the best defensive players in the country

[00:46:37] [SPEAKER_02]: so they had to get tough you know they got smacked around by Georgia last year

[00:46:41] [SPEAKER_02]: they got smacked around by Bama so they had to change something so that's what they changed

[00:46:46] [SPEAKER_02]: you know between their two receivers that they're bringing back between the two receivers they're

[00:46:53] [SPEAKER_02]: bringing back in their tight end they accounted for 2170 50 or 2175 yards 15 touchdowns they

[00:47:01] [SPEAKER_02]: brought in Antoine Wells from South Carolina who in the past has been second team all SEC as a

[00:47:07] [SPEAKER_01]: wide receiver so fully loaded you know hold on real quick I'm gonna run down to so many

[00:47:13] [SPEAKER_01]: numbers so you said you don't think they have a fourth and one guy running back yeah I think

[00:47:20] [SPEAKER_01]: you can manufacture one you got Rashad Amos at 61235 you got Ali Ali Ali Scott 510 220

[00:47:32] [SPEAKER_01]: you got another guy 5 9200 pounds that's more like a fullback yeah yeah they had 10 full

[00:47:42] [SPEAKER_01]: backs like 1415 wide receivers that 83 man roster those 83 scholarships really gonna pay off because

[00:47:49] [SPEAKER_02]: I mean it's crazy it goes up to 105 it goes up to 105 next year that's going to be real interesting

[00:47:56] [SPEAKER_02]: but also in addition to 115 pound quarterback so yeah they have they have bodies we'll see and

[00:48:02] [SPEAKER_02]: then and then of course like in addition to Walter Nolan they brought in the sack leader

[00:48:07] [SPEAKER_02]: from the Florida Gators so there you go you know what I mean Trey Amos I forgot that they

[00:48:12] [SPEAKER_02]: picked him up he was at Bama so I forgot that he was on the roster so that's a good call

[00:48:18] [SPEAKER_02]: you know but but so Ole Miss is in prime position this year because when you look at

[00:48:23] [SPEAKER_02]: their schedule there is not much to actually look at you know they're going 4-0 and they're out

[00:48:30] [SPEAKER_02]: of conference schedule right off top you know because they're going to start out with Furman

[00:48:34] [SPEAKER_02]: the Paladins they go middle Tennessee State Wake Forest on the road and then their other

[00:48:43] [SPEAKER_02]: out of conference game is Georgia Southern so that's their first four weeks yeah that's their

[00:48:48] [SPEAKER_02]: first four weeks before they play Kentucky which is at home they do go to LSU you know hopefully

[00:48:54] [SPEAKER_02]: we could get a replay of that 55 to 49 thriller from last season you know then they

[00:49:00] [SPEAKER_02]: Oklahoma the week after that watch out for the trap game at Arkansas on November 2nd if Sam

[00:49:07] [SPEAKER_02]: Pittman is still around he might be fired by then but then you got Georgia coming in November

[00:49:12] [SPEAKER_02]: 9th you get a bye before you go to the swamp so you know so best case scenario same thing

[00:49:18] [SPEAKER_02]: right best case scenario well actually for Ole Miss I'll say best case scenario is tended to

[00:49:23] [SPEAKER_01]: you know the the SEC I don't know who the SEC so far as we've done we've done our previews

[00:49:35] [SPEAKER_01]: and as I can recall I got Georgia Ole Miss Texas all three of them could have 11 wins

[00:49:49] [SPEAKER_01]: because Ole Miss doesn't play Texas or Bama or Bama so it just feels like we looked at

[00:49:59] [SPEAKER_01]: the Big 10 schedule and I felt like if this was a look the Big 10 and the Big 12 schedule

[00:50:05] [SPEAKER_01]: just looked a little bit tougher even for the top teams yeah it looked like the top

[00:50:09] [SPEAKER_01]: teams played each other yeah this one does it doesn't feel the same way even though there

[00:50:14] [SPEAKER_01]: are stud teams on here because the SEC is a top conference but it just doesn't feel like

[00:50:20] [SPEAKER_01]: they don't have these marquee matchups I just kind of assumed that I get Texas and Georgia

[00:50:27] [SPEAKER_01]: I get Texas and Bama I get Texas and Ole I thought I was gonna like when they went to

[00:50:32] [SPEAKER_01]: the SEC I thought it was going to be this you know to steal their praise I thought it

[00:50:39] [SPEAKER_01]: would be like bedlam but it was like they're just basically replacing

[00:50:44] [SPEAKER_01]: they just they just fall into the same mold that's the thing that I used to argue with

[00:50:48] [SPEAKER_02]: SEC fans about because if you talk to SEC fans before about teams like Georgia they would have

[00:50:54] [SPEAKER_02]: you believe that they played Bama LSU Florida Tennessee Auburn all in the same season like

[00:51:01] [SPEAKER_01]: don't they play them like they play them two times each yeah and like they hadn't played

[00:51:07] [SPEAKER_02]: they have not Georgia I'm talking about they haven't played Alabama in the regular season

[00:51:11] [SPEAKER_02]: since 2015 you know what I mean but if you leave it up to them they're just walking through

[00:51:16] [SPEAKER_02]: land mines all the time you know so it is what it is but yeah Ole Miss you know 10 and 2 best

[00:51:23] [SPEAKER_02]: case scenario you know they could drop to 8 and 4 you know so they they could be one of

[00:51:30] [SPEAKER_02]: schedule beneficiaries we were talking about this with teams like NC State where Ole Miss

[00:51:36] [SPEAKER_01]: seven games none of those teams are ranked in a preseason top yeah like they they they they're

[00:51:41] [SPEAKER_02]: like the NC State where we were talking about NC State might not be a great team but they have

[00:51:47] [SPEAKER_02]: the schedule to get to the ACC Championship game that's Ole Miss Ole Miss is better than

[00:51:52] [SPEAKER_02]: NC State but when you look at Ole Miss this schedule sets up for them to get to the SEC

[00:51:57] [SPEAKER_02]: title game and oh by the way a SEC title game that they've never played it

[00:52:03] [SPEAKER_01]: that yeah they're primed for I mean it's it's like looking at it I think we had

[00:52:13] [SPEAKER_01]: I know we looked at Bama you said they're gonna probably be eight and four

[00:52:17] [SPEAKER_01]: but they could easily be 10 and 2 because we have one of those losses to like one of these

[00:52:22] [SPEAKER_01]: like I think we got you had them lose into potentially like Missouri and Auburn so if they

[00:52:28] [SPEAKER_01]: win that they can be 10 and 2 so the top four teams in the SEC I don't know what the the

[00:52:35] [SPEAKER_01]: what it is as far as a percentage but it looks like their schedule right isn't that high in

[00:52:42] [SPEAKER_01]: the strength of schedule category right unless they're just going to go off reputation and

[00:52:46] [SPEAKER_01]: people like oh they got to play the SEC schools but I'm looking at like you're going

[00:52:49] [SPEAKER_01]: seven weeks ago before you play in a team that's preseason ranked in the top 25

[00:52:53] [SPEAKER_01]: right and you're in the SEC like you should have at least one

[00:52:58] [SPEAKER_02]: yeah so then you got the LSU Tigers you know Jaden Daniels is gone Heisman Trophy winner

[00:53:05] [SPEAKER_02]: 50 touchdowns four interceptions led the team in Russian by close to 400 yards still hadn't

[00:53:11] [SPEAKER_02]: learned how to slide still hadn't learned how to slide last year LSU's defense gave up

[00:53:18] [SPEAKER_02]: 416.6 yards per game 28 points per game that is not LSU you know they brought in

[00:53:26] [SPEAKER_02]: Blake Baker from Missouri to be the defensive coordinator so they should be improved like

[00:53:31] [SPEAKER_02]: going to your point about Brett Venables they should be improved even though they got the same

[00:53:36] [SPEAKER_02]: load of players the better coach should get more out of them you know Nuss Meyer has taken

[00:53:43] [SPEAKER_02]: over at quarterback he has seen some action to include the bowl game but the thing that I

[00:53:48] [SPEAKER_02]: don't trust about LSU mostly is the head coach because when I think of Brian Kelly I saw him at

[00:53:54] [SPEAKER_02]: Notre Dame I saw him lose to Tulsa I saw him lose the USF I saw him lose the Duke I saw

[00:54:00] [SPEAKER_02]: him with a top 10 ranked team playing against the Miami Hurricanes and lose 41 to 8 I've seen

[00:54:08] [SPEAKER_02]: these things and then I've seen his defense last year so you know they start off with USC

[00:54:14] [SPEAKER_02]: aka Trojan Angeles up in Sin City next week next Sunday night standalone game so prime time

[00:54:21] [SPEAKER_02]: everybody's watching you just like the last two years they had the prime time everybody's

[00:54:27] [SPEAKER_02]: watching you and they couldn't beat Florida State so you know and I know LSU fans I

[00:54:32] [SPEAKER_01]: never thought that was a good hire I remember we were talking about I'm like that's not a

[00:54:35] [SPEAKER_02]: hire yeah he doesn't fit in but it just is what it is like he's a good coach he wins everywhere

[00:54:40] [SPEAKER_02]: that he goes you know they're the rest of their out of conference schedule it's easy

[00:54:45] [SPEAKER_02]: they get nickel state they get you UCLA at home they get South Alabama at home and remember

[00:54:52] [SPEAKER_02]: I told you their head coach is the defensive coordinator for Alabama now so they should win

[00:54:56] [SPEAKER_02]: all four of those well not counting the USC game they should win the rest of those three

[00:55:01] [SPEAKER_02]: games easily they get Ole Miss at home they get Bama at home they get Oklahoma at home

[00:55:08] [SPEAKER_02]: you know but they go to A&M they go to the swamp so now this is where I start to part a

[00:55:16] [SPEAKER_02]: little bit where you were saying hey all these teams could have 10 wins all these teams

[00:55:21] [SPEAKER_02]: you know I don't think LSU's best case scenario is nine and three yeah I just I just I saw

[00:55:28] [SPEAKER_01]: Smire play a few games uh and Scrap Duty when or when Jalen went out in the Alabama game I

[00:55:35] [SPEAKER_01]: seen him play he is like the quarterback version of Brian Kelly where he's like I think

[00:55:44] [SPEAKER_01]: you're good enough but I don't know if you I don't know if you convert fourths and 17

[00:55:50] [SPEAKER_01]: and that crunch time kind of moment you know some like Cam Newton when he was in

[00:55:56] [SPEAKER_01]: Dallas granted Cam Newton was probably one of the greatest college quarterbacks ever

[00:56:00] [SPEAKER_01]: but you just kind of knew when he was down 24-0 Alabama that they still had a shot

[00:56:05] [SPEAKER_01]: right like you knew like there was something special about this guy he saw a shot I think

[00:56:11] [SPEAKER_01]: that Alabama LSU game before Dallas Turner puts his helmet into Jalen Daniels' chin he was

[00:56:18] [SPEAKER_01]: killing him I think he had 200 yards passing and 200 yards rushing they were scoring

[00:56:23] [SPEAKER_01]: touchdowns on every drive until he got hurt and then Alabama was able to pull away when

[00:56:28] [SPEAKER_01]: they put Nussmeyer in it so I think there's a drop off there and I'm not sure if Brian

[00:56:32] [SPEAKER_01]: Kelly is the coach that can if you gotta put Chad Hiney in for Patrick Mahomes Andy Reed

[00:56:40] [SPEAKER_01]: is still the coach that can get this guy to get the team success using this guy

[00:56:45] [SPEAKER_01]: I think Brian Kelly is one of those coaches that needs Jaden Daniels to be that that

[00:56:53] [SPEAKER_01]: right to get him over the hump that's why you said that nine and three I'm thinking more like eight

[00:56:59] [SPEAKER_01]: and four because I can see them losing to Florida Oklahoma Bama and Texas A&M

[00:57:07] [SPEAKER_02]: well see like LSU this is crunch time because like you know you look through the history of

[00:57:12] [SPEAKER_02]: college football people like to talk about blue bloods and things like that so you know you

[00:57:16] [SPEAKER_02]: Georgia with Kirby on their run right now you know you got Bama who is always around you know

[00:57:23] [SPEAKER_02]: you got uh um Texas Texas just came into your conference always got talent they're probably

[00:57:30] [SPEAKER_02]: gonna have a better record than you this year potentially you got Oklahoma who's always around

[00:57:35] [SPEAKER_02]: always just Texas LSU is every now and again you beat Alabama and if you beat Alabama you

[00:57:44] [SPEAKER_02]: have a good season but mostly your Alabama's bitch like that's basically LSU in a nutshell

[00:57:50] [SPEAKER_02]: you know like if you beat Alabama it's a great year and if not then you just try to

[00:57:56] [SPEAKER_01]: fight for second place you would think there would be more stability in LSU considering how

[00:58:02] [SPEAKER_01]: good like I think they have a quality program I think they put top flight players in the NFL

[00:58:08] [SPEAKER_01]: and we don't have a fool in state that challenges them no one challenges them in state

[00:58:13] [SPEAKER_01]: I think they probably recruit the hell out of Louisiana they put the hell out of Arkansas

[00:58:17] [SPEAKER_01]: they recruit the hell out of Texas so why is it that you don't have a coach that has a 15 year

[00:58:24] [SPEAKER_01]: run there where he's playing for NASA championships four or five times in that 15 year run it just

[00:58:30] [SPEAKER_01]: seems like that's the kind of collegiate environment where that should occur yeah and

[00:58:35] [SPEAKER_01]: that's the thing the same conversation we had about Miami he's just like

[00:58:41] [SPEAKER_01]: you should be able to thrive in this environment because literally your school is football pedigree

[00:58:49] [SPEAKER_02]: 101 LSU was still a baby they just showed up in 2000 you know like they've had good history

[00:58:57] [SPEAKER_01]: back in the 40s and 50s but it's almost 2030 and they've had talent since 2000 that's

[00:59:02] [SPEAKER_01]: damn near 30 years no it is but but you should be you should be locked in it's not

[00:59:06] [SPEAKER_01]: a school like like Virginia Tech is always a good school but it's not like a melting pot of

[00:59:14] [SPEAKER_01]: recruits so they've always had good coaching a good solid foundation a good structure

[00:59:18] [SPEAKER_01]: middle nowhere Virginia just kind of locked in so you're going to get some up and down if you

[00:59:24] [SPEAKER_01]: get like that if you get a Michael Vick that you can go on a two year run where you're the

[00:59:28] [SPEAKER_01]: most dominant team then you can follow up with Tyron Taylor Marcus Vick those kind of

[00:59:32] [SPEAKER_01]: you occasionally you get those LSU is those kind of Randall huh Brian Randall huh Ryan Randall

[00:59:39] [SPEAKER_01]: yeah yes that's like I think he's we're kind of related through some kind of way I don't know

[00:59:44] [SPEAKER_01]: Virginia small uh but the um LSU just the position group by position group is just

[00:59:55] [SPEAKER_01]: first round talent every single year they can go 0-1-12 and still will have a couple of

[01:00:00] [SPEAKER_01]: first round guys right and every at every group so for them not to be locked in on these these

[01:00:07] [SPEAKER_01]: kind of curvy smart mix saving you know killing the board kind of runs it don't just kind of

[01:00:14] [SPEAKER_01]: blows my mind but like you said it comes with every couple of years he just they they get

[01:00:19] [SPEAKER_01]: the prime time game and they get beat last year lost if Kyron Lacey is going to be the next

[01:00:26] [SPEAKER_02]: great LSU receiver you know can LSU run the ball Logan Diggs is gone so you know there's still

[01:00:33] [SPEAKER_02]: questions about LSU and I think a lot of people are giving them benefit of the doubt

[01:00:37] [SPEAKER_02]: because their name is LSU you know over in Knoxville this is now the Niko era

[01:00:44] [SPEAKER_02]: Nico Yamale you know is taking over at quarterback looked great against Iowa in the

[01:00:54] [SPEAKER_02]: whole game you know and that's Iowa that we're talking about Iowa's defense so you know no slouch

[01:01:01] [SPEAKER_02]: you know but uh but now that you look at this you know Tennessee I said this the other day or

[01:01:07] [SPEAKER_02]: I mentioned this the other day Tennessee is the team if somebody says hey tell me a team

[01:01:15] [SPEAKER_02]: that's not in the top five or the top 10 that could go to the playoff and win the

[01:01:21] [SPEAKER_02]: national title I will say potentially Tennessee but I will also say we might be a year early

[01:01:28] [SPEAKER_02]: because this is going to be Niko's first year starting there's going to be some bumps along the

[01:01:33] [SPEAKER_02]: way got to be some growing pains yep Jalen Jalen Wright is out here taking the relay from

[01:01:38] [SPEAKER_02]: Tyree Kill trying to beat Noah Lyles and his teammate you know you got uh Brew McCoy is

[01:01:44] [SPEAKER_02]: back Squirrel White is back Dylan Sampson is back in the backfield to take over

[01:01:50] [SPEAKER_02]: you great nickname Squirrel yeah um you got you got the guy who here it comes here it comes you

[01:01:57] [SPEAKER_02]: ready you got the guy who will be the number one draft pick in the NFL draft next season

[01:02:04] [SPEAKER_02]: you know James Pierce coming off the edge he's back 14 and a half tackles for loss 10 sacks

[01:02:13] [SPEAKER_02]: you know as a team last year what got me pumped up about Tennessee this year is that they led the

[01:02:19] [SPEAKER_02]: SEC in tackles for loss as a team and they were second in sacks to Texas A&M so Tennessee like

[01:02:27] [SPEAKER_02]: is talented but it's all going to depend on how quickly Niko can put it together now week two

[01:02:35] [SPEAKER_02]: they get it out the mud they go to Charlotte and they're playing the wolf pack you know the

[01:02:41] [SPEAKER_02]: that game is going to be set up in prime to make a run but then two weeks later

[01:02:48] [SPEAKER_02]: they get Oklahoma's home opener as a SEC team Memorial Stadium is going to be rocking for that

[01:02:58] [SPEAKER_02]: game and this is going to be Niko's first true road game going into Norman did Oklahoma get

[01:03:06] [SPEAKER_01]: an SEC size offensive line probably so kind of running that big 12

[01:03:14] [SPEAKER_02]: nimble Oklahoma's got some big boys up there now like are they Georgia probably not you know

[01:03:20] [SPEAKER_02]: what I mean but they're not Iowa State you know what I mean or like you know somebody

[01:03:25] [SPEAKER_02]: like that like they can hold their own you know and they got talent of course but but

[01:03:30] [SPEAKER_02]: but but that's going to be a tough road game for your first road game then you go back

[01:03:35] [SPEAKER_02]: on the road at Arkansas but like I said Arkansas is probably going to be looking for a new head

[01:03:40] [SPEAKER_02]: coach you know the best Tennessee teams of my lifetime have lost to the Gators so that Florida

[01:03:46] [SPEAKER_02]: game's not a gimme and then you get Alabama the week after the Florida game and then you

[01:03:51] [SPEAKER_02]: get Kentucky the week after that so that middle sandwich right there that Florida Alabama

[01:03:56] [SPEAKER_02]: Kentucky could be where Tennessee season dies if they lose one of those NC State or Oklahoma games

[01:04:05] [SPEAKER_01]: yeah October is going to be a tough run yes and you still got to go to Georgia after that

[01:04:12] [SPEAKER_01]: well I think the Georgia game is I think teams are probably looking at that game like hey we

[01:04:19] [SPEAKER_01]: can't focus on that one realistically let's focus on these other 11 and then go up there

[01:04:24] [SPEAKER_02]: just execute against Georgia and just kind of that's the problem with being a team like Tennessee

[01:04:29] [SPEAKER_02]: is that you're already in the hole like you're already trying to explore your margin for error

[01:04:36] [SPEAKER_02]: because you got that game on the schedule and it's at Georgia if it was at home maybe give you

[01:04:41] [SPEAKER_02]: a puncher's chance you know but it's on the rolling I don't think you're winning it out

[01:04:46] [SPEAKER_01]: inside the hedges and answers it's gonna be tough right that depends I mean Nico's been

[01:04:51] [SPEAKER_01]: real deal for a while he's been like number one rated quarterback out of California we see how

[01:04:56] [SPEAKER_01]: Bryce Young how well he fared playing quarterback in SEC with that California year-round football

[01:05:05] [SPEAKER_01]: training because the weather so like he was in 11 on 11th all the time you see him on

[01:05:10] [SPEAKER_01]: you know tv he was one of the earlier guys I remember getting like a big NIL deal I think

[01:05:14] [SPEAKER_01]: it was somewhere around like eight million dollars so I think he might have had a lot

[01:05:18] [SPEAKER_01]: time over the last couple years just to focus on playing quarterback paying quarterback coaches

[01:05:23] [SPEAKER_01]: or having it sponsored and things that I need so I think he's probably gonna have an edge

[01:05:28] [SPEAKER_01]: and it just depends on how well you know how well they start because you like it since

[01:05:33] [SPEAKER_01]: you can roll high to hand having and that's why I like that's why I believe in Texas

[01:05:37] [SPEAKER_01]: you know when it's when it's if it's a coin flip I'm taking the more experienced

[01:05:43] [SPEAKER_01]: or the quarterback that has like the better skill set that you know applies it better I think

[01:05:49] [SPEAKER_01]: Jaylen Mero against we talked about Jaylen Mero's passing I think what he does with his arm and his

[01:05:54] [SPEAKER_01]: legs is incredible I'm not we're not doubting him as an athlete as athletic quarterback

[01:05:58] [SPEAKER_01]: but there's going to be games where the other team is gonna they're they are literally

[01:06:05] [SPEAKER_01]: gonna let you like I said with Luca just let Luca shoot but don't let him pass in anybody

[01:06:10] [SPEAKER_01]: else let Jaylen hold the ball back there for six seconds right keep your contain don't let him

[01:06:18] [SPEAKER_01]: step up and run through don't let him get outside keep your contain let him slide back

[01:06:23] [SPEAKER_01]: and forth we got seven people in coverage behind it make him make the throw and if he

[01:06:29] [SPEAKER_01]: makes a few then okay you got to switch it up but if he doesn't make a few now they're

[01:06:33] [SPEAKER_01]: punting and now you can get back out there and do your thing but I think having a having the

[01:06:40] [SPEAKER_01]: the advantage at quarterback is good especially in the SEC where generally we remember a lot of

[01:06:46] [SPEAKER_01]: running backs coming out to see especially in Alabama Alabama kind of started adjusting like

[01:06:50] [SPEAKER_01]: yo guys are going to four wide receivers I run that all run four fours I gotta go get four

[01:06:54] [SPEAKER_01]: three guys he started getting the track team and then he started getting big arm guys

[01:06:59] [SPEAKER_01]: Florida likes we got Mac Jones right Jaylen from Texas and California with Bryce and then all the

[01:07:05] [SPEAKER_01]: way out to Hawaii to get to a he's like let me get a guy because I'm not sure how much they

[01:07:09] [SPEAKER_01]: throw in southern high schools I don't know if it's like because W. and Clowney was a running

[01:07:14] [SPEAKER_01]: back in high school at 65 to 60 so I don't know how much they throw the ball down south

[01:07:20] [SPEAKER_01]: but like especially out west they throw it a lot so I think if you can get up there

[01:07:23] [SPEAKER_01]: and slice these defenses up Tennessee could be like you said that team outside of top 10 that

[01:07:27] [SPEAKER_02]: right and then make some happen all right so we're gonna get through the rest of these teams

[01:07:32] [SPEAKER_02]: you know just for time purposes so so we got Missouri you know um so this is my question

[01:07:39] [SPEAKER_02]: you've been talking about it I'm gonna say it again you know all these teams

[01:07:43] [SPEAKER_02]: they could win 10 games out here you know looking at Missouri schedule

[01:07:47] [SPEAKER_02]: they could win 10 games out here but the question about Missouri is can they go from

[01:07:54] [SPEAKER_02]: the hunter to the hunted because now they're being viewed a certain way they're ranked high

[01:07:59] [SPEAKER_02]: you beat Ohio State in your bowl game you play Georgia tough like Mr. Logical said

[01:08:04] [SPEAKER_02]: you know and when I look at your schedule you're probably going undefeated out of conference

[01:08:09] [SPEAKER_01]: why are all these teams playing Alabama and Oklahoma back to back I think this is like

[01:08:15] [SPEAKER_02]: the third time I've seen it you know what I mean and Missouri goes to A&M you know so like

[01:08:22] [SPEAKER_02]: but could Boston College on September 14th be a sneaky team you know they got Bill O'Brien in

[01:08:29] [SPEAKER_02]: there now is he gonna handcuff Thomas Castellanos or is he gonna let him do his thing

[01:08:34] [SPEAKER_02]: but it's at Missouri so you don't go into the zoo and win that easily but you know you got

[01:08:39] [SPEAKER_02]: at A&M and you got at Bama you know you got Auburn so that you know that stretcher talk

[01:08:46] [SPEAKER_02]: they got Auburn at Bama and then Oklahoma and then at South Carolina who

[01:08:53] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm not worried about South Carolina unless we're playing NCAA 25 that's where

[01:09:00] [SPEAKER_02]: Nick Harbor is a star but you know but in real life I'm not concerned about South Carolina

[01:09:05] [SPEAKER_02]: you know so Missouri you know they could be looking at nine and three you know or

[01:09:12] [SPEAKER_02]: you know if they could sneak that one in Bama like I said don't slip up against Auburn

[01:09:17] [SPEAKER_02]: maybe Missouri's in the SEC title game like the margins are that close you know they got

[01:09:23] [SPEAKER_01]: Brady Cook back they got lots of points back are points part of the tiebreaker

[01:09:28] [SPEAKER_01]: like overall points okay usually if they were it's going to be a lot of games at a 63 to 14

[01:09:34] [SPEAKER_02]: normally it's head to head yeah normally it'll go off head to head you know your record against

[01:09:41] [SPEAKER_02]: and the top teams in the conference so on and so forth okay but Luther Burton is back one of

[01:09:48] [SPEAKER_02]: the best wide receivers in college football Theo Lees is back Brady Cook's back Cody

[01:09:53] [SPEAKER_02]: Schrader's in the NFL so now you got to find somebody to run the ball they lost their

[01:09:57] [SPEAKER_02]: defensive coordinator to LSU like I said but I do like coach Drinkowitz Eli Drinkowitz

[01:10:03] [SPEAKER_02]: so we'll see what happens Auburn year two of Hugh Freeze last year they lost to Georgia by seven

[01:10:10] [SPEAKER_02]: they lost to Bama on the fourth in 31 but they also lost to New Mexico State by three

[01:10:16] [SPEAKER_02]: touchdowns at home you know they do have eight home games this year even though they go to

[01:10:21] [SPEAKER_02]: Georgia and Bama this year so there you go you should have won that last year you know

[01:10:28] [SPEAKER_01]: I think they might have the toughest schedule at first glance that I'm looking at you know

[01:10:32] [SPEAKER_01]: they might have all of SEC because they got they got Oklahoma Georgia Missouri Texas Alabama yeah

[01:10:41] [SPEAKER_02]: you know Peyton Thorne leaves a lot to desire like everything that I said about Jalen Milro

[01:10:46] [SPEAKER_02]: throwing the ball apply that to Peyton Thorne but go in there with the mindset of if Jalen

[01:10:54] [SPEAKER_02]: if this is NCAA and Jalen Milro's at 85 Peyton Thorne should probably be a 73

[01:11:01] [SPEAKER_02]: so just keep that in mind you know how bad he is 162.2 yards passing per game last year

[01:11:10] [SPEAKER_02]: you know but as a team Auburn rushed for 189 yards a game last year they're talented

[01:11:17] [SPEAKER_02]: they got talented receivers problem is they're all freshmen you know they're bringing DJ Durkin

[01:11:23] [SPEAKER_02]: in to run the defense he was the defensive coordinator at Texas A&M under Jimbo I think 8-4

[01:11:29] [SPEAKER_02]: is the play here you know but that still takes some wiggle room because like Mr. Logical said

[01:11:35] [SPEAKER_01]: they got schedule on at first glance without like I said without the numbers their early

[01:11:42] [SPEAKER_01]: schedule their first three games are probably the easiest of anyone in SEC but then you

[01:11:50] [SPEAKER_01]: through Arkansas and because you said their coaches on the hot seat just because after

[01:11:53] [SPEAKER_01]: years they're just kind of being successful but starting September 28th through November 30th

[01:11:59] [SPEAKER_01]: they get a break at ULM yeah everything else is you like you need to bring your A game every

[01:12:06] [SPEAKER_01]: other game it's tough man it's tough out here there's there's there's stretches way

[01:12:11] [SPEAKER_01]: tougher than Ole Miss and even tougher than Alabama like just wait just wait till we get

[01:12:16] [SPEAKER_02]: the Florida schedule keep your thought of what you're thinking right now but just wait till

[01:12:20] [SPEAKER_02]: we get to Florida all right so Oklahoma Jackson Arnold's coming in you know a lot of people

[01:12:25] [SPEAKER_02]: thought that he was going to surmount Dylan Gabriel last year I went to see him at the Alamo

[01:12:31] [SPEAKER_02]: Bowl it was his first start so I don't want to bang on him too hard so to speak but I just

[01:12:36] [SPEAKER_02]: didn't see it you know but they a lot of people have high hopes for him and think

[01:12:40] [SPEAKER_02]: that he's going to be the next great quarterback in college football you know like I said they

[01:12:45] [SPEAKER_02]: opened up SEC play for the first time against Tennessee at home you know their out of

[01:12:49] [SPEAKER_02]: conference should be pretty easy they go to Auburn the week after that which is the week

[01:12:54] [SPEAKER_02]: before Texas so there's your three game stretch Tennessee at Auburn and then Texas they close

[01:13:00] [SPEAKER_02]: at Missouri Alabama and then they go to LSU so we're looking at possibly six and six

[01:13:06] [SPEAKER_02]: for Oklahoma I'll be nice and say seven and five you know so the road schedule from hell

[01:13:12] [SPEAKER_02]: they got 11 of their top 13 tacklers back returning six starters on defense so they're not

[01:13:19] [SPEAKER_02]: bad team I'm just looking at the schedule you know and you know they got Danny Stutzman back

[01:13:25] [SPEAKER_02]: and Billy Bowman you know so that September 21st game I keep harping on it the game against

[01:13:32] [SPEAKER_02]: Tennessee which first year quarterback can win the duel that game is going to go a long way

[01:13:40] [SPEAKER_02]: to determining how this season plays out then you got Texas A&M down here in College Station

[01:13:49] [SPEAKER_02]: as I mentioned you know they opened up next week I'm calling it I picked it already Texas A&M is

[01:13:55] [SPEAKER_02]: going to beat Notre Dame next week to start the season off the right way you know they got McNeese

[01:14:01] [SPEAKER_02]: State after that they go to the swamp that's going to be tough then their schedule lightens up

[01:14:07] [SPEAKER_02]: until October 5th they play Missouri but it's at home they go to Mississippi State LSU at home

[01:14:13] [SPEAKER_02]: South Carolina New Mexico State and then they close at Auburn and against Texas you know

[01:14:20] [SPEAKER_02]: Karna Wiegman is back he got hurt last year because one of the linemen missed a block he

[01:14:26] [SPEAKER_02]: got hit and broke a bone in his foot you know Mike Elko is coming in head coach you remember

[01:14:32] [SPEAKER_02]: him as the head coach of Duke so A&M is going to continue to play defense the question is

[01:14:38] [SPEAKER_02]: what can they get out of their offense and Mr. Logical did you hear who Texas A&M running back

[01:14:45] [SPEAKER_02]: probably will be no EJ Smith son of Emmett Emmett Smith yeah so keep your eye on yeah I saw that

[01:14:57] [SPEAKER_02]: earlier today yep yeah keep your eye on that so I like A&M I think they're going to be better

[01:15:01] [SPEAKER_02]: than people think you know but it's going to come down to the LSU game it's going to come

[01:15:08] [SPEAKER_02]: down to the Auburn game so I'm gonna say for now best case scenario eight and four you know with

[01:15:14] [SPEAKER_02]: a potential of nine and three so you know not so bad but now Mr. Logical this is what I've been

[01:15:20] [SPEAKER_02]: with trying to get you to let's look at that Florida Gator schedule somebody's got to be

[01:15:26] [SPEAKER_02]: bad you know what they play these are the conference games against teams like McNeese State

[01:15:33] [SPEAKER_02]: and Nicholls State you know saying like well let's look at this Gator schedule because the

[01:15:37] [SPEAKER_02]: Gators ain't gonna be nine and three so you want to talk about the bad teams this is the stretch

[01:15:43] [SPEAKER_02]: where we might get into some of those bad teams so you're looking at the Gator schedule right

[01:15:47] [SPEAKER_02]: they got Miami at home to start out next week okay you know I said they get their easy game

[01:15:53] [SPEAKER_02]: they play A&M they go to Mississippi State which should be a win but it is Starkville

[01:15:59] [SPEAKER_02]: they get UCF at home and you know UCF's gonna want to make a statement against the big state

[01:16:04] [SPEAKER_02]: you know go to Knoxville get Kentucky back to back speaking of Kentucky there was a stretch

[01:16:11] [SPEAKER_02]: where Florida had won 31 straight against Kentucky now Kentucky has won four of the last six and

[01:16:19] [SPEAKER_02]: the last three then they get Georgia the cocktail party down in Jacksonville go to Texas

[01:16:26] [SPEAKER_02]: after that yeah this is where it gets good they get Georgia go to Texas LSU

[01:16:33] [SPEAKER_01]: Ole Miss and close at Florida State they have 10 out of 12 tough games that's what I'm trying

[01:16:40] [SPEAKER_01]: to tell you somebody legit not even like like legit without even an Oklahoma yeah no Oklahoma

[01:16:49] [SPEAKER_01]: no bad Oklahoma no Missouri and they still like that's I mean even if you want to say UCF

[01:17:00] [SPEAKER_01]: and we you could you can't really say Kentucky because Kentucky guys you said four to last six

[01:17:05] [SPEAKER_01]: yeah and three straight yeah so even the worst case now you say you know what UCF did a little

[01:17:11] [SPEAKER_01]: brother this is Florida playing against Central Florida like you know they'll take care of

[01:17:17] [SPEAKER_01]: business that's still nine it's still 75 percent of your schedule is are realistically

[01:17:24] [SPEAKER_01]: realistic losses and not even like because you are underperforming it's just that you have

[01:17:33] [SPEAKER_02]: and you've got a coach in the hot seat you had a coach in the hot seat 11 and 14 record last

[01:17:39] [SPEAKER_02]: year to close out the season in their last five games they gave up 38 points a game they

[01:17:45] [SPEAKER_02]: lost the FSU with the third string quarterback after they took a cheap shot on the second

[01:17:50] [SPEAKER_02]: string quarterback because Jordan Travis was already hurt you know Trevor ETN we brought

[01:17:54] [SPEAKER_02]: up earlier went to Georgia you know Graham Mertz is back the quarterback is back 72.9

[01:18:00] [SPEAKER_02]: completion percentage 20 touchdowns three picks but Ricky Pearson is gone you know

[01:18:06] [SPEAKER_02]: you still got Eugene Wilson your sack leader with the old miss so I don't know gators I'm

[01:18:13] [SPEAKER_01]: sorry Kentucky you know like I said oh you're not done with the gators yet yeah I need I need

[01:18:20] [SPEAKER_01]: prediction from you Mr. Static for their record yeah five and seven yeah that

[01:18:29] [SPEAKER_02]: yeah five and seven and that's if so so so I got him beaten uh Mississippi State okay

[01:18:42] [SPEAKER_01]: Sanford UCF UCF so we go through okay week one Miami who you got I got I got

[01:18:50] [SPEAKER_02]: Miami if Miami loses that game Lord better you better pray for Mario Cristobal so you

[01:18:56] [SPEAKER_01]: got him beating Sanford Texas A&M what do you got I got that as a win so that's two and one

[01:19:03] [SPEAKER_01]: yeah Mississippi State win three and one UCF win four one Tennessee loss four and two you

[01:19:14] [SPEAKER_01]: Kentucky win five and two lose and then and then they lose out yeah yeah he's gonna get fired

[01:19:22] [SPEAKER_02]: at least he'll make it a whole season though I mean he better be begging he better be up in

[01:19:27] [SPEAKER_02]: that room talking about look at the schedule I didn't create the schedule I would already

[01:19:31] [SPEAKER_01]: be on it like yeah now we need to edit this like yo if I get six and six you know you

[01:19:38] [SPEAKER_01]: might want to extend me you think Saint Nick would take this schedule you think Nick Saban

[01:19:44] [SPEAKER_01]: at like just change the team from from Florida to Alabama you think Alabama will play this

[01:19:49] [SPEAKER_01]: schedule no no way in hell who's lobbying for Florida this is worse this is just as bad as

[01:19:56] [SPEAKER_01]: Pittsburgh this is like the college football because we got to a lot of these schedules I

[01:20:00] [SPEAKER_01]: haven't seen one where a team that's five and two could potentially lose out that's why I told

[01:20:09] [SPEAKER_01]: you when you brought up Auburn I said hold up hold on a second hold on a second Auburn and Florida

[01:20:17] [SPEAKER_01]: need to call their congressman and be like listen next year we we only want to play SEC

[01:20:22] [SPEAKER_01]: schools but we want to be eligible for the championship yeah all right so then you got the

[01:20:28] [SPEAKER_02]: Kentucky Wildcats you know so so I think that you know Kentucky is a good team the problem is

[01:20:39] [SPEAKER_02]: they're breaking in yet another quarterback for the second straight year a quarterback that they

[01:20:43] [SPEAKER_02]: got from the transfer portal but last time they got an experienced quarterback this time they

[01:20:49] [SPEAKER_02]: got a guy who hasn't played yet Brock Vandergriff who was on the bench at Georgia do I want

[01:20:56] [SPEAKER_02]: assume that he's good because he was on the bench at Georgia they got away from Rutgers too

[01:21:02] [SPEAKER_02]: yep there and then they're running back Ray Davis he's in the NFL now you know um they

[01:21:08] [SPEAKER_02]: they do have receivers though they do have that you know saying they got Barry and Brown

[01:21:12] [SPEAKER_02]: and then they got Dane Key so both of them are good receivers but it's a little weird

[01:21:19] [SPEAKER_02]: because as good as they are if you actually watch them they don't necessarily get a lot

[01:21:24] [SPEAKER_02]: yards the playbook was very dumbed down and I don't know if that was because of the quarterback

[01:21:29] [SPEAKER_01]: so we'll have to be yes the speed the speed of the Kentucky wide receivers

[01:21:36] [SPEAKER_01]: if they aren't if they're not going three four wide and taking deep shots for you know every

[01:21:43] [SPEAKER_01]: quarter not the whole game not just out there in and out Eric Corial style but just at the

[01:21:49] [SPEAKER_01]: speed the speed that they have at the wide receiver position them not going down the

[01:21:54] [SPEAKER_01]: field that's I think that's a bioparticle quarterback capability they did bring in um

[01:21:59] [SPEAKER_02]: they did bring in Chip Trenum from Ohio State you know at running back you know last year

[01:22:05] [SPEAKER_02]: they were second in the SEC against the run you know so the Florida game and the Auburn

[01:22:11] [SPEAKER_02]: game and like I said Auburn is like the toss-up team for this year you know like every

[01:22:18] [SPEAKER_02]: that's on that brink of eight wins you know maybe like being a surprise you know the Auburn game

[01:22:25] [SPEAKER_02]: is going to determine the fortune of your season because Kentucky should go 4-0 out of conference

[01:22:31] [SPEAKER_02]: you know they got Southern Miss, Ohio, Louisville and Mary State so you know they

[01:22:39] [SPEAKER_02]: should be able to go 4-0 there you know and as back to your point earlier when you say

[01:22:46] [SPEAKER_02]: these SEC teams are going to get seven or eight wins that's why because they're going to go 4-0

[01:22:51] [SPEAKER_01]: or 3-1 out of conference to begin with yeah they're out of conference schedule is short of

[01:22:59] [SPEAKER_01]: Georgia playing Clemson and even Florida playing Miami at Florida should have just like reminded

[01:23:06] [SPEAKER_01]: the people making a schedule again we were playing Miami preseason you know that we play

[01:23:11] [SPEAKER_02]: Florida State every year right every year so this year it's at Florida State we got two top ACC

[01:23:17] [SPEAKER_01]: schools and we got to play the rest of SEC you know can we spread out yeah but Kentucky's got

[01:23:23] [SPEAKER_02]: some traps on here some some some big ones you know they go to Ole Miss they go to the Swamp

[01:23:28] [SPEAKER_02]: they go to Tennessee they go to Texas so you know I think they're playing with house money

[01:23:34] [SPEAKER_01]: because I'm not sure what their expectation is for Kentucky I think a seven and five year is

[01:23:41] [SPEAKER_01]: is a win because you get the bowl game it might be like the minor hard carry bowl but

[01:23:46] [SPEAKER_01]: it'll be a bowl game that gives you an opportunity to go eight and five some exposure

[01:23:50] [SPEAKER_01]: some prime time games whatever case may be and or maybe or maybe you're the you know

[01:23:56] [SPEAKER_01]: the darling team like right now like you said it's potentially Tennessee definitely not

[01:24:01] [SPEAKER_01]: Florida I don't like I'm still just aghast at how tough that schedule is not even the team they

[01:24:08] [SPEAKER_01]: play it's the fact that they play them their last five games after injuries and all the

[01:24:17] [SPEAKER_01]: wear and tear from your previous seven games which is inevitable even if you are markedly

[01:24:22] [SPEAKER_01]: better than the team you're playing people are going to get banged up elbows shoulders knees

[01:24:27] [SPEAKER_01]: all that stuff and then you're like all right cool now we're going to give you this

[01:24:32] [SPEAKER_01]: NCAA 25 gauntlet to get through the end of your season so it's just I mean it's stuff like I

[01:24:38] [SPEAKER_01]: mean you're in that conference you're in it you're in a tough conference they could have

[01:24:41] [SPEAKER_01]: probably gone to the ACC years ago and maybe had a little bit of an easier path you stayed

[01:24:46] [SPEAKER_02]: in the tougher conference you got to get that money man it's all about that money

[01:24:49] [SPEAKER_02]: yeah you know you got South Carolina with Lenore Sellers taking over at quarterback for

[01:24:54] [SPEAKER_02]: or I'm sorry Spence Rattler there you go Spence Rattler Shane Beamer is the head coach I got

[01:25:01] [SPEAKER_02]: hung up there you know I think that he's going to end up nice guy fired coach you know it might

[01:25:11] [SPEAKER_02]: not be this year but South Carolina's got a road to hoe with the new SEC you know as it

[01:25:19] [SPEAKER_02]: with Texas and OU coming in you know like what happens to you because you know like they

[01:25:25] [SPEAKER_02]: went to the schedule where you play certain teams every year you get some teams every other year

[01:25:31] [SPEAKER_02]: so on so forth but unfortunately for you you're going to get Georgia every year

[01:25:36] [SPEAKER_02]: you know what I mean and for this year you know like you missed Georgia this year luckily

[01:25:43] [SPEAKER_02]: but you know you go to Kentucky in week two you know you get LSU the week after that

[01:25:49] [SPEAKER_02]: you get Ole Miss two weeks after that and then follow that up at Bama at Oklahoma

[01:25:55] [SPEAKER_02]: and then Texas A&M you still got Missouri after that and you still gotta go to Deaf Valley

[01:26:01] [SPEAKER_02]: to play Clemson you know so like I said if this was NCAA Nick Harbor they throw the ball

[01:26:07] [SPEAKER_01]: that's like the NFL when you have a fourth place season you come out the following year

[01:26:15] [SPEAKER_01]: you play a fourth place schedule right these guys are playing Georgia's schedule well you

[01:26:21] [SPEAKER_02]: know why because these teams need wins I need to get teams into the playoffs so you know

[01:26:27] [SPEAKER_02]: what I mean they're gonna play you because you're gonna be our test dummy yeah that's

[01:26:33] [SPEAKER_01]: a mean stretch like I said so and they're if they can I mean if you I won't say steal

[01:26:41] [SPEAKER_01]: but if you can get Ole Miss Alabama Oklahoma Texas A&M maybe Oklahoma is not who we think

[01:26:49] [SPEAKER_01]: they're going to be or at this preseason 16 might just be Fugazi right maybe you get you

[01:26:56] [SPEAKER_01]: you can squeeze on a couple of wins there Vandy we know they're hit or miss and they

[01:27:01] [SPEAKER_01]: been my since Jay Cutler was there ever since that dude said Alabama you're next we're gonna

[01:27:05] [SPEAKER_01]: show you how we play raw cc football if you see that yeah and then Jalen Hurst like technically

[01:27:13] [SPEAKER_01]: he is right we are playing the mix for the next game on the schedule well you you ready

[01:27:18] [SPEAKER_02]: for your stat oh it's here South Carolina last year 85 rushing yards per game which ranked

[01:27:29] [SPEAKER_02]: now you remember we always talk about how many teams are in the fbs

[01:27:35] [SPEAKER_02]: 132 126 so that's not the stat though the stat is there were two power five teams that

[01:27:43] [SPEAKER_02]: were worse than them and they are Washington State and Colorado

[01:27:54] [SPEAKER_02]: so you know South Carolina also bored in Robbie Ashford you know he was the backup

[01:27:58] [SPEAKER_02]: at Auburn running quarterback you know could they have packages for him you know where he plays a

[01:28:04] [SPEAKER_02]: little slash action that's what I would do beamer ball right and then um you know this I don't

[01:28:12] [SPEAKER_02]: know like South Carolina just got a long road to ho Arkansas you know will Sam Pittman be

[01:28:19] [SPEAKER_02]: there by midseason Mr. Logical are you up to date on who Arkansas's offensive coordinator is

[01:28:28] [SPEAKER_02]: you know that's not my realm oh you'll love this you know then I asked you that question

[01:28:34] [SPEAKER_01]: for a reason probably by patrino it is Bobby Patrino knew it I just you said when you said

[01:28:39] [SPEAKER_02]: love this I was like yeah he's being sarcastic yeah he came over he was at Texas A&M last year

[01:28:45] [SPEAKER_02]: under Jimbo a lot of people video coordinator a lot of people were wondering was he gonna

[01:28:52] [SPEAKER_02]: sneak Jimbo's job he didn't get the job but now people are wondering is he going to sneak

[01:28:57] [SPEAKER_02]: Sam Pittman's job and get and get that old thing back you know so it's a vulture yeah he's

[01:29:04] [SPEAKER_02]: a vulture yeah so so KJ Jefferson went to UCF Rocket Sanders went to South Carolina so now

[01:29:12] [SPEAKER_02]: you got tailing green that quarterback coming in from Boise State so here's another stat for

[01:29:17] [SPEAKER_02]: you since 2021 Arkansas is two and nine in one score of games two and nine wait so they're

[01:29:28] [SPEAKER_01]: two or nine and once since 2021 so that is four full seasons three full seasons yes one

[01:29:36] [SPEAKER_01]: twenty three so that means every other game is a winner of blowout yes so 11 games in three

[01:29:44] [SPEAKER_01]: years where they're like competitive at the end and still lose yeah so that means they're

[01:29:48] [SPEAKER_02]: just getting tossed in the rest of them and they've lost 11 out of 12 to Texas A&M

[01:29:54] [SPEAKER_02]: and the crazy part about that is they play at a neutral site

[01:29:59] [SPEAKER_02]: I mean it's Jerry world but you know Jerry's an Arkansas guy you know so as you look at this

[01:30:06] [SPEAKER_02]: you know their season right Arkansas pine bluff you know saying so that's a win

[01:30:13] [SPEAKER_02]: then you go to Stillwater you know where where Oklahoma should be going but you know no

[01:30:20] [SPEAKER_02]: them this year screw you Oklahoma you know you go to Stillwater to play the Cowboys

[01:30:27] [SPEAKER_02]: you know they come home for UAB you know who UAB said coaches they set up these out of

[01:30:34] [SPEAKER_01]: conference games right yeah a couple years in advance yeah like five years in advance or so

[01:30:40] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm not I'm not doing that like because you don't need a tough win if you're in the SEC

[01:30:44] [SPEAKER_01]: you just need to win in the SEC right because you can beat you can beat four power five schools

[01:30:52] [SPEAKER_01]: and lose eight games in SEC and it's like what was the point of playing these tough ass games

[01:30:57] [SPEAKER_01]: in September when we could have just played Arkansas pine bluff Prairie View Arkansas State

[01:31:03] [SPEAKER_02]: and then like just roll into football since I can't even remember but it's been 30 years

[01:31:10] [SPEAKER_01]: played Arkansas State should just roll right into your SEC schedule like I don't know who's

[01:31:16] [SPEAKER_01]: who's calling these shots but they need to hire me guess who's coaching UAB

[01:31:23] [SPEAKER_02]: is it Trent Guilford it is Trent Guilford you know what I mean so then they play so then they

[01:31:28] [SPEAKER_02]: slap a kid on the sideline last year I know he yelled at a coach or something

[01:31:35] [SPEAKER_02]: yeah yeah uh then they go to the after the UAB game they go to Auburn so trip to Jordan hair

[01:31:40] [SPEAKER_02]: they get see look at this man look at this at Auburn you get the A&M game at Jerry World

[01:31:49] [SPEAKER_02]: Tennessee LSU now granted both of those are at home you know the Tennessee and LSU game

[01:31:54] [SPEAKER_02]: then you go to Starkville where Mississippi State shouldn't be good but it's the cowbells

[01:32:01] [SPEAKER_01]: well I mean you I mean like you gotta play that one he's just I would like not to play all the

[01:32:06] [SPEAKER_02]: ranked not to play them on the road at least but then you get Ole Miss and Texas back-to-back

[01:32:12] [SPEAKER_02]: and then you close at Missouri with Louisiana Tech in the middle and Louisiana Tech is a

[01:32:19] [SPEAKER_02]: pretty you know solid football program so I'm thinking I think I'm looking at four and eight

[01:32:28] [SPEAKER_01]: that's that seems that seems reasonable because I'm looking at four and eight they win

[01:32:32] [SPEAKER_02]: every out of conference game but Oklahoma State and they get the Mississippi State game

[01:32:41] [SPEAKER_02]: that's your Arkansas Razorbacks Mississippi State you know with new head coach Jeff Lebby

[01:32:48] [SPEAKER_02]: coming in from being the offensive coordinator at Oklahoma he's of that Art Briles tree and

[01:32:55] [SPEAKER_02]: he even got in trouble due to Art Briles last year because we all know that Art Briles

[01:32:59] [SPEAKER_02]: is a piece of shit you know but you know Art Briles just happens to be his father-in-law

[01:33:07] [SPEAKER_02]: and last year he had Art Briles running on to the field at Oklahoma and Oklahoma

[01:33:14] [SPEAKER_02]: administration did not like that very much you know what I mean but the good news for

[01:33:19] [SPEAKER_02]: Mississippi State is since 2019 Jeff Lebby as an offensive coordinator his offenses have

[01:33:27] [SPEAKER_02]: finished top 20 and oh I'm sorry top 25 in 20 yard or more plays what about total offense

[01:33:37] [SPEAKER_02]: so explosive they're explosive plays you know what I mean they got Blake Shapin coming

[01:33:43] [SPEAKER_02]: in that quarterback from Baylor you know so like we'll see how it goes the problem is

[01:33:48] [SPEAKER_02]: is that Mississippi State came up under rest in peace Mike Leach and then the last two

[01:33:55] [SPEAKER_02]: or the last year or so they had Zach Arnett who was more of your old school run it down

[01:34:02] [SPEAKER_02]: their throat you know old Wisconsin style so you're so you're turning over your roster

[01:34:08] [SPEAKER_02]: and you're in a clouded dust team right and you have a lot of players that

[01:34:13] [SPEAKER_02]: probably don't fit the system right now so you're going to have to get the transfer

[01:34:17] [SPEAKER_02]: portal next year they do have seven of their top eight tacklers back you know so that's a

[01:34:25] [SPEAKER_02]: right same thing out of conference schedule Eastern Kentucky at Arizona State Toledo in UMass

[01:34:33] [SPEAKER_02]: three and one has to be the record if not four no like maybe you lose that Arizona State just

[01:34:39] [SPEAKER_02]: because it's a road game just because it's a tough place to play even though Arizona State

[01:34:44] [SPEAKER_02]: isn't expected to be very good but then you get into your SEC schedule as Mr. Logical will

[01:34:50] [SPEAKER_02]: you you know you get Florida on September 21st go to Texas go to Georgia why are they

[01:34:55] [SPEAKER_01]: going to Texas and Georgia back-to-back how who made these these schedules we looked at the top

[01:35:01] [SPEAKER_01]: schools because I stopped and broke my note about LSU Ole Miss Georgia Texas potentially 10

[01:35:08] [SPEAKER_01]: or 11 wins so who set it up to where the top teams play the easiest schedule in the

[01:35:20] [SPEAKER_01]: this is our first conversation about it and if I'm looking at it as it's printed out here

[01:35:26] [SPEAKER_01]: whoever was putting this together had to know this isn't fair for our brand to have

[01:35:34] [SPEAKER_02]: three schools potentially four and eight or five and seven but look at this though it's not

[01:35:50] [SPEAKER_02]: a

[01:35:58] [SPEAKER_01]: very very and then they close it with Ole Miss at Ole Miss yeah so they could they could they

[01:36:04] [SPEAKER_02]: could literally win all of their out of conference games and look like the worst team in the

[01:36:09] [SPEAKER_02]: country yes they can lose all of their SEC games they win that Arkansas game they can

[01:36:15] [SPEAKER_01]: win their first four games 120 to 30 and look like they're going to win that game

[01:36:20] [SPEAKER_01]: like a dumpster five for eight games but it will for their games they can look like

[01:36:26] [SPEAKER_02]: unless Jeff Lemme gets that offense humming you know and maybe they can make a bowl game but

[01:36:33] [SPEAKER_02]: not this year I don't see it and then of course we got to close it out with the

[01:36:37] [SPEAKER_02]: Commodores the real Commodores not like y'all call my commanders the Commodores

[01:36:42] [SPEAKER_02]: the Commodores we're talking about Vanderbilt who went two and ten last year

[01:36:47] [SPEAKER_02]: Coach Clark Lee who I actually think is a good coach he just coaches at Vanderbilt you know but

[01:36:55] [SPEAKER_02]: then again James Franklin won nine games at Vanderbilt a long time ago player yeah that

[01:37:02] [SPEAKER_02]: was a long time ago you know uh so uh Mr. Lodzko I brought this up the other day

[01:37:08] [SPEAKER_02]: you know who Vanderbilt's quarterback is this year who's it who's a guy it wasn't a guy

[01:37:17] [SPEAKER_02]: from Kansas State was a guy from Kansas nope it was the guy from Utah Nate Johnson

[01:37:24] [SPEAKER_01]: you know oh the guy that will hold the ball and then run like Justin Fields yeah then they were

[01:37:29] [SPEAKER_02]: like oh Bryson Barnes come on in but uh so yeah so they got Nate Johnson at quarterback

[01:37:34] [SPEAKER_02]: you know they uh their head coach like I said uh Clark Lee he's now going to take over

[01:37:40] [SPEAKER_02]: defensive play calling so you know you know how I feel about that you know I said the same

[01:37:46] [SPEAKER_02]: about Dave Aranda the other day when you do that that's just desperate times calling for

[01:37:51] [SPEAKER_01]: desperate measures now these coaches coach you oversee or the CEO or you know the company you

[01:37:58] [SPEAKER_02]: delegate everybody else and then you report up to the CEO yeah and then you got uh Tim Beck

[01:38:04] [SPEAKER_02]: coming in as offensive coordinator from New Mexico State we talked about them earlier with

[01:38:11] [SPEAKER_02]: 31 to 10 win at Auburn last year so he's coming in they got Jerry Kill who was the head coach

[01:38:17] [SPEAKER_02]: of that New Mexico State team as a consultant you know they brought in Diego I think it's

[01:38:26] [SPEAKER_02]: Paiver Diego Paiver you know he's the quarterback as well who was the quarterback for

[01:38:34] [SPEAKER_02]: that New Mexico State team so one of two things is happening here either you love continuity

[01:38:43] [SPEAKER_02]: or you're so bad that you got a poll from New Mexico State I mean listen there's talent

[01:38:50] [SPEAKER_01]: everywhere if you got an eye for it and you're at these positions especially when

[01:38:55] [SPEAKER_01]: you're in SEC school because the area you're trying to recruit in is mostly dominated by

[01:39:03] [SPEAKER_01]: the other top schools and once again they have a their schedule is a little lighter

[01:39:09] [SPEAKER_02]: but they still get it but you know but Vandy also has the problem is this is 2024 they have

[01:39:16] [SPEAKER_02]: no pass rush and they have no corners so so they're gonna give up a lot of points yep and

[01:39:22] [SPEAKER_02]: they start off week one with Virginia Tech you know saying they get Alcorn State for a

[01:39:29] [SPEAKER_02]: Georgia State should be a win but they have surprise teams before yeah then they go to Missouri

[01:39:36] [SPEAKER_02]: get Bama at home go to Kentucky they get Ball State which should be a win

[01:39:42] [SPEAKER_02]: primetime game I guess PM plus yep then they get Texas at Auburn South Carolina and then

[01:39:48] [SPEAKER_02]: they close at LSU and at home with Tennessee so I think that Vanderbilt is going to get the

[01:39:54] [SPEAKER_02]: beyond stimulus of you know they're gonna go from two wins to three they improved

[01:40:04] [SPEAKER_02]: maybe four maybe they could but who do they get like if they have three yeah if they win a

[01:40:10] [SPEAKER_02]: SEC game I don't know who it's against unless they sneak up on Kentucky like they did two

[01:40:16] [SPEAKER_01]: years ago or maybe Auburn overlooks them yeah maybe yes it's it's tough it's tough

[01:40:26] [SPEAKER_01]: like the quarterback I like the speed they just I like I like the speed but it just felt a lot of

[01:40:33] [SPEAKER_01]: fast quarterbacks or just sometimes they need to pull the trigger as fast as they run right

[01:40:39] [SPEAKER_01]: and I think he you know just he just didn't do that often enough at Utah yeah so maybe

[01:40:46] [SPEAKER_02]: South Carolina you know we'll see you know because you know there comes a point where

[01:40:50] [SPEAKER_02]: teams lose or you know you get out of bowl contention maybe the players don't care anymore

[01:40:56] [SPEAKER_02]: you know maybe the coach is playing some new players to get an early jump on next year

[01:41:01] [SPEAKER_01]: so maybe you catch somebody guys guys opt up because they know they're going to go to

[01:41:05] [SPEAKER_01]: transfer portal right like that right so yeah like I said these these November games are

[01:41:10] [SPEAKER_01]: going to be tough but it's kind of set up for these top schools and I don't know

[01:41:15] [SPEAKER_01]: they wanted to prevent that from happening where guys are just kind of checked out right

[01:41:21] [SPEAKER_01]: and that's a fumble he had that ball like and they kind of gave these top schools these easy

[01:41:27] [SPEAKER_01]: schedules so they can assure that we get the names we want because I've wrote four out of 12

[01:41:34] [SPEAKER_01]: playoff teams yeah I wrote four out of 12 question mark question mark for the SEC

[01:41:41] [SPEAKER_01]: so we can shoe in Georgia 10 and 2 Bama they're they're in at 12 right yeah they're in but I

[01:41:50] [SPEAKER_01]: but you know I got them I got somebody's gonna have 13 games played because oh like I got old

[01:41:57] [SPEAKER_01]: miss potentially 11 and 1 based off how their schedule is kind of lays out so that gives me

[01:42:04] [SPEAKER_01]: 11 and 1 12 and 0 Georgia in a championship game so either 11 and 2 old miss and or 12 you know

[01:42:12] [SPEAKER_01]: 12 and 1 each school obviously but even a 13 and 0 and 11 and 2 old miss I think still gets

[01:42:19] [SPEAKER_01]: in the top 12 yeah I think a 10 and 2 Bama still sneaks in and then hell we got to figure

[01:42:26] [SPEAKER_01]: out whatever the tiebreaker is because I got Texas also at 11 and 1 potentially yeah so I'm

[01:42:31] [SPEAKER_02]: with Georgia and Ole Miss in my SEC title game you know like I said I got Bama 8 and 4 you know

[01:42:41] [SPEAKER_02]: Texas you know I just think the injuries are going to set in at some point they're not going

[01:42:46] [SPEAKER_02]: to be able to run the ball as well as they want you know as I look at Georgia I don't

[01:42:51] [SPEAKER_02]: see anybody that could beat them you know in the SEC but maybe they lose one you know

[01:42:57] [SPEAKER_02]: you get a 10 and 2 Missouri does that they could be a threat you know what about Tennessee if Niko

[01:43:04] [SPEAKER_02]: puts it together you know Tennessee could sneak up into the SEC championship game so

[01:43:09] [SPEAKER_02]: you know but those but those are I think the SEC gets four because as I said before I think

[01:43:15] [SPEAKER_02]: the big 12 only gets one so so I think the Big Ten and SEC will get four you know uh they

[01:43:23] [SPEAKER_01]: what that's a touch I'm looking at the uh that's a touchdown that elbow touchdown

[01:43:28] [SPEAKER_02]: challenge actually actually let me back up SEC will get four yeah the Big Ten gets three

[01:43:35] [SPEAKER_02]: the ACC gets two you got your game gets in yeah you got your G5

[01:43:46] [SPEAKER_02]: so that's so maybe the Big Ten gets four maybe the Big Ten gets four because I only

[01:43:51] [SPEAKER_01]: see one Big 12 team getting in maybe maybe you get two and the the two from the championship

[01:43:59] [SPEAKER_02]: game are maybe you know that's what I hope is that is there is there a cap no if there's not

[01:44:07] [SPEAKER_02]: a cap no there's not a cap you know just just whoever the committee wants to put in

[01:44:13] [SPEAKER_02]: you know like the four highest conference champions get the buys G5 champion is guaranteed

[01:44:19] [SPEAKER_02]: spot they could theoretically finish higher than 12 but I think in most years they're probably

[01:44:25] [SPEAKER_02]: going to be 12 especially due to who the champion might be and the G the G5 is in trouble right

[01:44:32] [SPEAKER_02]: because you know if they get good the big school just going to come grab your players

[01:44:38] [SPEAKER_02]: yeah so you're not going to see you're not going to see this hey Boise State beat Oklahoma

[01:44:44] [SPEAKER_02]: that came back next year and beat Oregon you're not going to see that because soon as

[01:44:48] [SPEAKER_02]: they get a good player gone when like G5 big playoff your coach is out of here there's going

[01:44:56] [SPEAKER_01]: to be I think they're going to put some harder kind of stipulations in you would think unless if

[01:45:03] [SPEAKER_02]: going to benefit well I think 2026 in 2026 they can renegotiate and change the playoff if

[01:45:12] [SPEAKER_01]: so 2024 season 25 season 26 season after it's over then they renegotiate for that

[01:45:18] [SPEAKER_02]: and then that's when they can add new to you know they could go to 14 or whatever

[01:45:23] [SPEAKER_02]: you know they can say hey G5 you're done like you're not even getting a spot they could go

[01:45:29] [SPEAKER_02]: you know hey automatic slots where you know um the sec and big 10 get x amount of automatic

[01:45:37] [SPEAKER_02]: automatic three so it's all on the table you know to me which is just going to phase the

[01:45:43] [SPEAKER_02]: NCAA further and further away you know and then by 2027 and this is just me by 2020s

[01:45:52] [SPEAKER_01]: for four big conferences by 2027 south east southwest now I was going to say by 2027

[01:46:00] [SPEAKER_02]: Florida State and Clemson should be able to mosey their way out because I don't know if

[01:46:06] [SPEAKER_02]: ESPN is gonna we'll see we'll see ESPN has the ability to not renew the contract with the ACC

[01:46:14] [SPEAKER_02]: we'll see you know but if Florida State and Clemson can find a way out of there that could

[01:46:19] [SPEAKER_02]: be the way so there's a lot that's going to happen in the next three to four years

[01:46:23] [SPEAKER_02]: and then you got the big 10 contract running out in 2031 so you got a whole decade of

[01:46:30] [SPEAKER_02]: get through yeah you know to get to the future of college football but you know but on that note

[01:46:36] [SPEAKER_02]: folks we will be back Monday you know saying with our college football playoff picks
