Speaker 1 (00:02):
I'm George Reister, He's Ralph Amsden, and this is the
College Football Apostles presented by The Unfraid Show. And we
are getting close to the season. People, We got a
lot to talk about today. We are giving you our
Heisman predictions, our college football playoff predictions, and there is

(00:22):
news and noteworthy stuff because Jim Harbaugh, Yeah he's back
at Michigan right slow down, A Dion Sanders freaks out,
Oh he was on our college football head coaches pressure list,
and Texas Tech mans overreacting LSU nil and our picks

(00:45):
for the Heisman Trophy and the number one overall selection
for this next NFL season, which is obviously going to
come from this college football season. And you guys make
sure that you guys like subscribe, tell a friend about
the show, and most of them importantly share and get notifications.
All right, So we'll start today, Ralph with some of

(01:06):
the news that's happened since our last show. So we
put out the college football pressure list, not the coaches
who are on the hot seat, but the ten coaches
who are under the most pressure coming into the next
college football season. And people didn't quite understand. They were like, oh,
this guy's not on the hot seat. And that's particular

(01:28):
league Texas Tech fans because they're saying, oh, oh, how
could you put Joey McGuire on this list? He's not
under pressure. Even had one of their boosters tweet at
me and I'm like, you know that hot seat and
pressure list are not the same thing. So what is

(01:49):
making this so hard for Texas Tech fans to understand?
Or for Colorado fans or for Ohio State fans who
buck back a little little bit about their coach being
on the pressure list when there are so many resources.
The administration is in, boosters are in, and they don't
understand that that brings pressure, even though that they like

(02:11):
the head coach.

Speaker 2 (02:14):
Right, I mean, what do we talk about, Like Texas
Tech was something like fourteenth straight years of at least
five losses. Yes they do you think that they brought
in Joey maguire to keep that going?

Speaker 1 (02:26):
No? But but no, Ralph, he's had two winning seasons
in a row. This is all that matters.

Speaker 2 (02:33):
Did the new thing has to be different than the
old thing? It just does. I feel like they didn't
have a lot of patients with Matt Wells. Yeah, having
mediocre seasons. They ran out of patients eventually with Cliff
Kingsbury because it couldn't even win with Patrick Mahomes. There.
At some point when you're getting a big influx of

(02:55):
money and like you even had one of the big
donors in your comments. When you're getting a big influx
of money, of course there's pressure to win. People are
making personal investments like I don't to me in this
day and age, these turnarounds they happen either in three
year builds or it's kindling, kindling, kindling burst into flames, right,

(03:16):
And if it can happen for TCU, it should happen
for Texas Tech. If it can happen for Washington, it
should happen for Texas Tech. They brought in some transfers
this year that they had, like Jalen Conyers. They had
the money to bring in, you know, probably a top
ten tight end in the country. You know, they decide
to go in a different direction when it comes to
Tyler Shucks. And now you've got a quarterback you could

(03:39):
have had that's out there doing stuff that you can
compare yourself against. And it's a new look Big twelve,
And they start off with a bang. I think they
got a They got Arizona State like right away, and
so you know, I I the media picked them ninth.
The media is not taking this team seriously. But it's
about internal pressure. I think Texas Tech is taking themselves

(04:00):
very seriously. And I don't think fans should shy away
from the idea that it's their time. It is their time,
and they should meet the moment. I believe that they should.
And you're not saying that he won't meet the moment.
You're saying there's a lot of pressure to do so.
And I don't disagree with that. The fan base may
be super happy with him because he seems like a
great guy, great coach, and they seem like they're headed

(04:21):
in the right direction. But what happens if they go
seven and six again? How do you think everybody's gonna
feel at the end of this year.

Speaker 1 (04:27):
Well, and that was one of the things that they
pushed back. Well, we've had three starting quarterbacks the last
two years. Okay, Well, it doesn't matter. Like there's only
so much grace that is gonna be given for that.
And it's not that he's under the hot seat. The
pressure for Texas Tech is surrounded by look at this schedule,

(04:48):
it is about keeping hope alive. Because if you know
they're gonna beat Abilene Christian, they're gonna beat North Texas
Washington State, that's a game that they need to win.
And then you know they need to start out four
and no since Cincinnati's Scott Saderfield's not having a good
run so far, they want to be five and zero.

(05:09):
And then obviously then the tough part, the meat of
their schedule, starts to come after that.

Speaker 2 (05:14):
So any but George, George, who don't they play? That
makes this year even more important?

Speaker 1 (05:19):
YouTube?

Speaker 2 (05:19):
Did they exactly?

Speaker 1 (05:21):
Yep? So so Texas Tech fans when they look at
this schedule, anything outside of a nine to three year
is probably gonna be looked at as like that, wouldn't
you know, unless you have some weird old result in
a couple of games. Yeah, but if you get your
doors knocked off in any games and you finish with

(05:43):
seven or eight wins, it's gonna be a problem.

Speaker 2 (05:46):
Did anybody else have an issue or was it just
with Texas Tech fans kind of not understanding the premise
of it, which is that like it's time for Texas
Tech to make that leap.

Speaker 1 (05:59):
Well. Ohio State fans kind of pushed back a little
bit too, and I wasn't really like I look at
them as a unique situation because when you look at
this schedule and you look at their how good this
team is on paper and what they were able to

(06:21):
do last year and their non conference Akron, Western, Michigan
and Marshall, this is the not type of non conference
that I absolutely hate. But that's a whole nother story.
You look at this non conference and you're saying, this
is a team that absolutely should win at a minimum

(06:42):
eleven games a minimum, because you can't stomach losses with
the type of NIO that they've put forth, the recruiting
that they've done. You can't stomach a loss to Iowa
because their offense is atrocious. Even though that they've changed coordinators,
it's still not. You still shouldn't lose that game. The

(07:06):
Oregon game in Austin. You can stomach that because that
would be okay. A win or a loss in that game,
you're fine. As long as you don't lose by more
than one score. You're right, Nebraska, then you have to
beat Penn State. If you don't beat Oregon, you have
to beat Penn State. If you lose, if you beat Oregon,

(07:26):
now you have well, you still gotta beat Penn State.
But that's a give you a little bit of whigger room.
And then you got purdued Northwestern Indiana. And then that's
the game on November thirtieth. If he loses to Michigan
under this turmoil, Sharon Moore, under investigation, Jim Harbaugh, everything else,

(07:48):
he cannot lose that football game, no way. And so
their fans pushed back a little bit. Oh hockey. I'm like,
it's y'all that are the crazies that want to fire
a coach that is one this many games. But uh
but speaking of Michigan though, and Michigan crazies, so put
out a video on on a freight show this last

(08:10):
week about Jim Harbaugh and his situation and how the
NCAA is now bread combing out the notice of allegations
because of the Netflix. They're just gonna drop on August twentieth,
and that's causing a problem. And Michigan fans, rightfully, and
when I say rightfully, I mean like that they're behaving

(08:33):
like fans do is they are, Oh, where's the proof?
Where's the oh, let it alone, it's not a big deal.
Of course, that's exactly what I would expect, same thing
patriots fans did with the Flakegate spygate. This is what
fans are going to do. This is no different than
political discourse. You will ignore anything that the people that

(08:56):
you like did and if not. And I even had
Aaron Finterest, who covers Oregon for the Oregonian, he said, well, what,
well you believe Chip Kelly when it came to Willie
Lyles in Texas. I said, no, I didn't believe Chip.
I just didn't care, right And that's the way. And

(09:18):
that's why I say, rightfully for Michigan fans, you're you're
not going to care, even though you probably should.

Speaker 2 (09:26):
Every single person out here that wants to say this
is family business, like shut up. I get it, I
get it, but it's not it. It's discourse is what
we're gonna do. We're gonna talk. You're gonna talk about
unless a Michigan fan rode hard for Jim Tressel, you know,
I don't have anything to say to them, you know,

(09:48):
unless you cross, unless you cross the picket line to say,
uh that you know, trading a tattoo for a jersey
wasn't a big deal. Shut up, because, of course Ohio
State fans, of course the rest of the Big Ten,
they're gonna smell blood and they're gonna act like sharks.
But at the end of the day, we just have
to get back to the fact that this was all
self reported. Yes, so don't don't come talk to me

(10:11):
about something you brought to the NCUBA.

Speaker 1 (10:14):
Yes, yes, hey, hey guys, there's a witch hunt over
over here and we have witches. Yeah, all right, okay,
So now what did you think when you saw the
headline that Jim Harbaugh was gonna be the honorary captain
for their first game of the season.

Speaker 2 (10:32):
I thought it was a little bit weird because the
Chargers deserve his full attention, and I understand that people
can do two things. I actually don't think it's a
big deal, but I actually thought that there would be
more pushback from Chargers fans. And I had to remember,
are their Chargers fans? I know like three of them,
so you know, But you know, I never really thought

(10:56):
it was something that I think that Jim Harbaugh is
gonna be welcomed back whenever he wants to come back
for any reason. I don't think it has. He chose
to leave. He chose to leave. He was done with
that chapter, done with that challenge, be where your feet
are at? And I kind of thought that it was
strange that he was gonna come back so soon. And

(11:20):
I thought that maybe the primary motivation would be to
thumb your nose at the NC double A. I don't
think that's wise at this juncture to poke that bear
anymore than they need to.

Speaker 1 (11:32):
It's interesting that that's the angle that you took at it,
because you went from the chargers. They deserve its full attention.
Me I first was like, oh wow, they're like double
middle finger, double bird to everybody, and that actually made
me respect Michigan. I was like, okay, cool, if you go,
if you're gonna do it, then do it. B Yeah,

(11:54):
if you just gonna thumb, if you just gonna middle
finger everybody, okay, cool, Hey, hey that is that's what
Jim Harbaugh essentially did.

Speaker 2 (12:04):
So yeah, and there was all this it's a land
Michigan fans were like, our athletic director doesn't have our back.
They were really pushing that though, yes, and I think
they recognized Paul was coming from inside the house or whatever.

Speaker 1 (12:18):
But who yes and so, but now it has now changed,
He's not gonna be there, and so cooler heads prevailed
and somebody was like, Okay, cool, Yeah, we probably shouldn't
do this. There's more information bread crumbing out. We've seen
the documentary because Netflix probably sent them stuff to get

(12:42):
comments on and for the documentary, and they either commented
or didn't. So they know what and they have a
great idea of what's coming in the notice of allegations,
what's provable, what's not, and what Netflix has and what
people said on camera. They know. So this is the
decision why Jim Harball was not brought in because it

(13:04):
would have been after the Netflix documentary comes out, and
that could cause a problem.

Speaker 2 (13:12):
Yeah, I don't. I hope that that's not the case.
I personally hope that that it wasn't. Like they got
an advanced screening and they were like, Oh, I hope
that that wasn't. I hope that wasn't the case. I
assume I'm gonna be watching it for the same reason
that you're watching it, and we're gonna be texting back
and forth the whole time. Yes, I know, I know

(13:34):
that that's coming. But I it's hard for me to
imagine if they got Connor Stallion's to participate in this,
that there's gonna be anything that he would have given
to this that would be terribly incriminating.

Speaker 1 (13:47):
Michigan, Hold on, did you watch BS High on HBO
on Max?

Speaker 2 (13:53):
I did? Yes, Okay, you just put out camera in
front of him and they don't shut.

Speaker 1 (13:56):
Up exactly, so he doesn't have to say anything. This
necessarily incriminating, But it's one of them. He's participating in
it number one for money and number two for because
he wants to get his part of the story out
and he wants to take all the blame I will get.
I would I have not seen the documentary yet, but

(14:17):
I would be willing to bet anything anything that he's
on there taking all the credit for it because he
wants to look like a genius. And remember, he's a
psycho fan. I mean, that's what it really comes down to.
Connor Styles is a psycho. He's a celebrity stalker.

Speaker 2 (14:37):
He's Selena's manager.

Speaker 1 (14:39):
Yes, he's a celebrity stalker.

Speaker 2 (14:42):
He might have killed that program.

Speaker 1 (14:44):
Yes, he's a celebrity stalker who essentially said, you know, what.
I want to make Michigan a national championship winner, and
I will do anything to be a part of this program.
I will there is no expense, I won't spare. I'm
going to get on Michigan's staff. And that's what he did.

(15:05):
So he was a man with a plan and a
mission and a and a psycho stalker. And that's what
he did. Do your respect it, Yes, a man with
a Now I respect his hustle, I respect his I'm
not going to let anything get in the way of
my goal. Now, you do have to have some integrity

(15:27):
and and you know, some principles. But he was like,
by any means necessary.

Speaker 2 (15:33):
He brought that Chick fil A energy to college football.
He's out here advanced scouting saying my pleasure, and I
I gotta respect it on some level. But yeah, I
just I really hope that it's not like BS High,
that he doesn't go out there and make everybody look
stupid just because he's proud of of of what he did.

(15:54):
I want to believe that he's not like a sociopath,
but that just he he was driven, you know, and
we'll see, I guess we'll see.

Speaker 1 (16:03):
Yeah, can we talk about Dion Sanders speaking of yes
we can and do you think I care? No, So
because anything and people who like the reason why this
show is called the channel is called the Unafraid Show
and all of this stuff because we got to be

(16:24):
unafraid to say the things that we need to say.
And but we if you listen to this, this is
not a hit job show. This is not a place
where we just go after people. But we try to
be honest and realistic in our critiques and our opinions
about things. And so there is nothing that I say

(16:44):
on my radio show, on Mad Dog here, on Unafraid Show,
on social media, anything like that that I do not
believe or that I would not say in front of
those people, including James Harden, who I think is a
who has bad basketball character. But that's hard I probably give.
He probably gets more like unsolicited shots from me than

(17:09):
any other player.

Speaker 2 (17:10):
If it wasn't for Daryl Moriy, you might be his
least favorite person.

Speaker 1 (17:14):
Yeah. So, oh so, Dion Sanders, he does. He takes
any criticism or any critique as hate as a you know,
as a personal offense. And he talks to the media

(17:34):
like do you believe do you believe it's not my
job to believe it's my job to report on what happened,
because you have to remember that there are different types
of people in different types of jobs. There are journalists
who are supposed to be objective and report what happens
and talk about how to maybe interpret that, and that's

(17:54):
more like a columnist talking about the interpretation of it.
And then there are people like us who are opinionists.
We are ralph'say official journalist sometimes yes, part journalist, part well,
here is the journalistic background with opinionist tendencies and so

(18:19):
you're so you have to understand the people that and
the job that they are tasked to do. So. Deon
Sanders has been critical of people in the in the media,
the stories He didn't like that he was picked last
in the Big Twelve, to be the worst coaching the
Big Twelve or one of the worst or whatever. And
that's fair for you to have some upsetness about it.

(18:43):
But to say that you're not going to answer a
CBS local reporter's questions who's trying to do his job
right because of something that a national writer said is
not cool. And Dion not paying attention to the fact
that your local writers are your biggest ally, like that

(19:09):
your local people are your biggest ally, even if they
don't like you or whatever that because they want access,
they want all of this stuff. So you kind of
have to play that game with them. You kind of
have to give them a little bit of information, but
then not too much information. You have to build a
certain level of trust there. And I think that he

(19:31):
operates from a different wavelength and he's got to understand
the politics of coaching and play by some of those
rules in the midst of trying to be a disruptor.

Speaker 2 (19:48):
Yes, the CBS's CBS comment was funny, And the reason
it's funny is because were you going to ignore Max Press,
Are you gonna not watch MTV? Are you gonna not
let your kids watch Nickelodeon? Are you not gonna pay
attention to seven? Because yeah, they own two four seven. Yeah,

(20:12):
and one of Dion's boys that he always does interviews
with is one of two four seven's national college football reporters.
So yeah, but.

Speaker 1 (20:20):
That's like saying that that like two four seven is
CBS Sports is CBS National. It's not this like they're
part of the same company. But they don't even answer
to the same people.

Speaker 2 (20:32):
Yeah, I just like I. I didn't love that. He
he has a message he wants to get across. He
walks in with a goal to stir the pot. He
does an incredible job of keeping all eyes on Colorado
all the time. But what we brought up last week,
and I stand by it, is if he's gonna get
distracted every single time one of these things happens, and

(20:55):
he's actually gonna have some emotion behind it, and he's
gonna let Dion On Junior cuss people out on Twitter
every single week in between posts and Bible versus himself, Like,
if this is if this is gonna happen every single time,
then he's gonna burn himself out. Yes, and you, you
and I talked about that. I I think that the
future for Colorado is bright. I think that he is

(21:18):
doing a really good job. I think there's some obvious
misunderstandings and how college football works. You can't ignore high school.
You know you You've talked extensively on that. But you're
allowed to have differences of opinion of how he goes
about it. And he's allowed to be offended if someone
calls him the second worst coach in the big, Big twelve.
I definitely don't believe that to be true, but I

(21:38):
am fascinated by how he's gone about things because he
got Warren sta he got Warren Sapp on staff. Now,
Warren Sapp used to go on with Jason Whitlock every
single week and sit there while Jason Whitlock blasted Deon
Sanders for being a fake Christian, fake for the culture
just blowing up and real that's right exactly, and Warren

(22:01):
Sapp would just sit there, he would engage in it.
Now Warren SAP's on staff, So like, who are we
gonna get offended by? Who are we gonna close out?
Who are we gonna draw near? You know that if
you're trying to keep track of what Deon Sanders is doing,
it can get a little bit of exhausting. But I
you got kids, I got kids. We both got a
bunch of kids. I think we have like fifty kids combined.

(22:21):
Do you ever like one kid's making a bunch of
noise in the backseat and you're just like that's it,
and you yell at everybody to send a message.

Speaker 1 (22:28):
Yep, me too.

Speaker 2 (22:29):
So I didn't I didn't fail to understand what Deon
Sanders was trying to accomplish. But these aren't kids. He's
a grown man. And then and I don't think it
serves him in the long run. But maybe I'm wrong.
Maybe I'm wrong. All I know is if he went
off on me because of what somebody else did, I

(22:52):
don't I'm I'm not built like I would have been
like what are you talking? Like I would have yelled
in the press.

Speaker 1 (22:57):
Conference, Oh yeah, right, I got I got time today, Dion,
I got time today. So and yeah, I'm like, this
is where you can.

Speaker 2 (23:12):
And this is I was gonna say, like, this is
the part that I want to be has us talking
over each other. This is quite possibly the worst thirty
second running podcast is.

Speaker 1 (23:24):
And this is the part that I want Dion to
understand and that I would when I get a chance
to interview him, talk about and people who are watching
Colorado and everything else. Is that because anytime I've said
anything that is a critique of Colorado, Oh you hate Dion,

(23:45):
why aren't you rooting for the black man? This is
this And I'm like, I can say, like this example
way I like to use. I love my wife, love
my family, love my kids. I don't don't always agree
with them, So that's okay. I cannot agree with them

(24:06):
and still support them. I cannot agree with them and
still have their back. Those two things don't aren't mutually exclusive.
So I can want Dion to be successful and his
mission to be successful, but also say, hey, yo, buddy,
that way of going about it, ain't it. And that's
actually what he says that he does with his players.

(24:30):
I'm gonna love on him, I'm a love on them.
I'm gonna coach them up. You know, I'm gonna tell
them the hard thing, So you got to hear the
hard thing too, Dion.

Speaker 2 (24:38):
And how is George Reiser supposed to square not putting
full effort into high school recruiting when he came in
and said, watch us offer kids before they get ranked
by two four to seven and arrivals because we're gonna
have our own internal evaluation process. Ye, can you name
a single kid whose first offer came from Colorado before
they were ranked by rivals or two four to seven? No,

(24:59):
neither can I and I pay attention to this stuff.
So I think you're allowed to take him seriously. And
if he doesn't match his own words, ask what's going on?
I think that's fully allowed. But I think he's also
allowed to get mad just the ranking stuff, you know what.
And also I don't think that's correct. Second worst coach

(25:19):
in the Big twelve is isn't a big part of
being a coach fundraising and recruiting. Who's doing a better
job than him?

Speaker 1 (25:26):
Nobody who's got it better than us? Nobody? All right?
Speaking of nobody having it better than us, it is
college football season now. We are less than two weeks
away from the season. And with us being with us

(25:46):
being two weeks away from the college football season, we
have to get prepared for the college football season, Ralph,
get prepared for it mentally, emotionally, you know, budget our time.
And I'm just trying to figure out what everybody else

(26:06):
in the world is doing right now because I am
mentally gearing up for what is coming. I am excited.
I could not be any more, you know, happy, there's
an elation, there's a feel good building up. I am.
Everybody knows because I am prompting everybody, do not ask

(26:27):
me to do anything on Saturdays. Aside from now, I've
got a complicated situation this fall because I have a
son in college football. I would like to show up to,
you know, a couple of his games. I have a
son playing college I'm sorry, playing fourteen, you who just

(26:49):
turned thirteen, and so they play on saturdays. I have
my daughter's playing volleyball, but they don't play on the weekends,
which is thank the Lord. They only played during the
week except for like a tournament later on. And then
we have what else do we have? Oh and then

(27:10):
the little kid Roman and he's in jiu jitsu and
all of this stuff, but that's not on the weekends.
We'll we ex the weekends out for him. So aside
from being at my son's game and watching college football,
don't ask me to do anything. I am. I am
one hundred unavailable for your dinner, for your wedding, for

(27:35):
your like, maybe for your funeral funeral. I was waiting
for it.

Speaker 2 (27:43):
I'll try really hard not to die in the next
couple of months.

Speaker 1 (27:46):
Please don't, Ralph. I will come to your funeral though,
but but but please don't die. That actually, don't die
anytime soon regardless. But during football season, don't schedule anything.
Do not schedule anything. And according to the not October
twelfth is the busiest day four fall weddings and the

(28:13):
notts a website that you know, a wedding website right
October twelfth, and I'm like, I do not understand who
raised these people? We got Oregon, Ohio State, Texas Mission.
I'm sorry, Texas, Oklahoma, oh Miss LSU, Penn State USC.

(28:34):
I'll repeat that, Ohio State, Oregon, Texas, Oklahoma, oh Miss LSU,
and Penn State USC. And people are scheduling weddings on
those days. Ralph, who raised these people?

Speaker 2 (28:50):
I did see a guy took got quote tweeted into
oblivion until he deleted it. I think he even played
in Indiana saying that like, you gotta grow up, you're
twenty six, have a fall wedding. And I just want
to say to people who have fall weddings, most of
the people I know are either college football fans, college
football players, college football media, or college football employees of

(29:13):
some kind like coaches, so it would be tough for
them anyway. But do you understand that when you get
married on a day, your anniversary is going to be
on that day for the rest of the time. It's
not just that you have a fall wedding, it's then
that you're expected to, like, hey, this weekend's just ours
for And so that's a tough one. That's a tough
one if you can avoid it, avoid it. I'm with you.

(29:37):
I got two kids playing high school football, I got
one playing softball. I got one take in baseball lessons.
I cover high school. So here's what my Friday looks like.
I go to a game at seven, I come home.
I cover high school football on the West Coast from
the East coast. Those games start at ten, So then
I have a wrap up show at one in the
morning Eastern. I get up on Saturday, I have college

(29:58):
football all day long into about two in the morning.
And then on Sundays we're playing and doing content together
and in same stuff all week long. And so I
also am not gonna be available to do anything. But
you know, it gets real tough when you have an
eight year old daughter who is like watch Blue with me.

(30:21):
I what am I supposed to do?

Speaker 1 (30:25):
F t K.

Speaker 2 (30:28):
I don't know. I might have to like make up,
I might have to make like I might have to
have like the the bluey on the phone with the
college football. It's gonna be tough. It's gonna be tough,
but yeah, that's part of the gig, and I wouldn't
have it any other way. Uh, but it is. I
mean even even when I text you and you're out
and I'm like did you see this play? And you're

(30:49):
at something, you almost always get mad. You're like, why
are good things happening when I can't be in front
of television.

Speaker 1 (30:57):
And so so at and the reason why? And people
we're gonna say, well, you can watch it on your phone.
I can only have two things on while I am
not home because I have my phone and I take
my iPad. Anybody that knows if I have to go
somewhere in the fall, even to my own kids game
I am watching, I have my phone and my iPad

(31:18):
at my kids game. And then because when I'm at home,
I can watch six different games, I can have them
on at one time, four on one TV, one on
another TV. And then I got a iPad there as well.

(31:39):
Oh and then my computer, so actually I can get
seven get seven at a time if I need to,
so I don't have to miss it. I don't get commercials.
I don't pay it. I am tuning into another channel
if a commercial comes on. So if there's something that happens,
this is why I no longer. My wife gets upset

(32:02):
because we have UCLA season tickets. She loves to go
to the game. We used to go to the games
all the time. I don't want to go to Champs
no more because the whole time I'm there, I'm on
two screens and she'ms like, George, what, what what is
the point in you coming? I'm like, you're right, You're right.

Speaker 2 (32:22):
Yeah, especially I mean, you you got them good parking passes,
but you get in that traffic and you just know
you're missing college football. You could be in your office
and then she.

Speaker 1 (32:32):
Has to drive their and back. That's the only way
I'm going, Yeah, because I get to sit like.

Speaker 2 (32:40):
I'm flying out to a couple of games this year,
maybe maybe checking out a few. But I do hate
being at a game when I know that I'm missing
something else. But if I have the opportunity to what
I think, you know, the the Duke's kickoff is in Charlotte,
I could technically go to see Georgia Tech kick the
season off here in a couple of days down in Atlanta.

(33:02):
I'm flying in for Wyoming Arizona State, and so I'm
you know, I'm gonna try to hit some games because
I love the in person pageantry, but I hate the
feeling of missing out. So it's gonna it's gonna have
to be a late night game to where my whole
day is not eating up. But yeah, it's it's tough, man.
I know that there's people out there, like fighting fires

(33:22):
for a living and working in triage and hospitals that
are listening to this like, oh, I'm sorry, your life
is so hard.

Speaker 1 (33:29):
Sorry, your life is so hard that you can't figure
out how to get down to baton Rouge for the
LSU u c LA game and making back for your kids'
games too. Okay, sorry, oh sorry, we're off life all right.
So that's how we're getting prepared for the college football season.

(33:49):
But uh, there's a lot of awards and things that
we got to get prepared for because the college football Playoff.
This is the first year of an expanded twelve team playoff.
I'll be pushing for this for so long, and all
you losers who wanted to stay at four, oh, this
is rubbing in your face. But I will say I

(34:11):
hate twelve. At the same time, I didn't get what
I wanted either, I only wanted eight or sixteen because
I don't like buys, but that's a whole nother, whole
nother conversation because football's football people get hurt, you know,
buys and baseball playoffs impact you know, like the higher
seeds typically don't play as well because they're off. There's

(34:34):
a lot that goes into it. But whatever, we got expansion.
But the question is is will that ex that expansion
cause more teams to be able to win? And the
answer is actually yes, even though that people will tell
you the answer is no, the answer is actually yes.

(34:55):
And the reason why is because the college football blue
Chip ranking, and the blue chip ranking which CBS Sports
puts out every year is the amount of four and
five star prospects on your roster. And there's never been
a team to win that didn't have at least fifty
percent of the roster with four and five star prospects.

(35:16):
And so the history of the National Championship, Michigan won
it last year with fifty four percent, Georgia seventy seven
and twenty twenty two, Georgia eighty percent in twenty one,
Alabama eighty three in twenty LSU sixty four in nineteen,
Clemson with sixty eight and eighteen, Bama eighty percent in seventeen,

(35:41):
Clemson fifty two percent in sixteen, which was wild with
the Deshaun Watson class, Alabama with seventy seven and fifteen,
Ohio State sixty eight fourteen, Florida State fifty three and thirteen,
Alabama seventy one in twenty twelve, and then Bama with

(36:05):
seventy one and twenty eleven.

Speaker 2 (36:07):
So are you saying stars matter?

Speaker 1 (36:10):
Yes, stars matter, No, no matter what people lie and
tell you. Stars matter on the macro, so on a
team basis, but on the micro, on an individual player basis,
they don't matter. But because if you get enough four
and five stars together, yes, some of them are not
going to pan out, but the ones that do them
ones is different. So the so this year the teams

(36:34):
that have better than a fifty percent blue chip ratio
Ohio State at ninety percent, which is insane, right, Alabama
at eighty percent and Bro this is insane, Like the
team's never even won with a like the highst was
eighty three, and we're at Ohio State at ninety percent,

(36:55):
but Alabama eighty eight percent, Georgia at eighty, Texas A
and M at nine percent. Oregon at seventy six, Oklahoma
at seventy three, Texas at seventy two, LSU at seventy,
Notre Dame at sixty seven, Clemson at sixty four, Florida

(37:15):
at sixty three, Miami at sixty one, Penn State at
sixty one, USC at fifty nine, Michigan at fifty six,
and Auburn at fifty three. So the history says that
all of these teams, including Auburn at fifty three percent,
technically all have a chance to win a national championship.

(37:38):
But obviously we don't think that all these teams are
gonna even be in a position to win a national championship.
And that's why expansion of the tournament, because if you
get like eight of these teams in the tournament, technically
any of those teams can win historically, So I do
think that there are going to be like, there aren't

(38:01):
gonna be upsets like VOW VCU over you know, perdue
in basketball.

Speaker 2 (38:08):
No, but if we had this last year and we
ended up with Oregon and Georgia in the national championship
when they weren't even included, would you have been surprised?
I wouldn't have.

Speaker 1 (38:16):
No, No, because they were all teams that you thought
could possibly win. So I do think that you're gonna
get more upsets if you will, from like an eight
beating a two or something like that. But you're not.
But those teams are gonna have the blue chip ratio
that supports.

Speaker 2 (38:34):
It, right right, I agree? So that brings us too.
Who are you picking to be in the College Football
Playoff in twenty twenty four?

Speaker 1 (38:47):
I am picking the Oregon Ducks, okay, versus the Georgia
Bulldogs for the Natty.

Speaker 2 (38:59):
That's your two more than Natty Okay, okay.

Speaker 1 (39:04):
With the Oregon Ducks hoisting the trophy in a revenge
game because they got the kicked out of them the
last time Oregon played uh Georgia, which was Dan Lanning's
first year.

Speaker 2 (39:19):
Man. So I have I also have Oregon there. I
have Oregon there, and I'm going way out on a
limb with this one. This is Clemson's last stand. I
know it's a weird. I know it's a weird pick,

(39:39):
but I have Oregon over Klin. I believe that an
ACC schedule is going to have them pretty fresh. When
you won't hear I don't think I'll have to say
those words out loud. We'll see, We'll see. But I
do have Oregon winn the National Championship. You and I
are both on Oregon, which is weird. I mean, it's
not weird that you on Oregon. I think everybody knows that,

(40:02):
Ralph Ralph.

Speaker 1 (40:03):
I literally almost did not say them because now I
don't care about people calling me a homer any of
that stuff, because I said Washington was better last year,
like I have. You know, I'm and I hate Washington,
but I'm going to be objective about the things that
I see. But I feel like I'm would be a

(40:24):
mush like, like I don't want to say it because
I don't want to be a mush like. I don't
want to jinx. What feels like this is one of
them years that I'm like, George, relax, relax, relax, relax,
Like just just eat, just don't talk about it. It's
almost like when a pitcher gets a no hitter or

(40:47):
a perfect game and I know that we are only
in the we're in the fifth inning right now, and
you're like, how's.

Speaker 2 (40:55):
No why it's weird as we're two weeks away from
that start. It's not even the fifth inning. You're talking
about No.

Speaker 1 (41:04):
I'm saying the fifth inning. No, I'm saying it's the
reason why I said this the fifth inning is because
the first few innings are the recruiting, the coaching, the like, like,
you got to get all the tools in place to
be able to even get there. So I'm saying that
that that was the first four innings and the season

(41:25):
is like fifth through eighth, and then the ninth inning
is the playoff. So I like, I'm looking at when
I'm looking at these schedules, Ralph, I am trying to
find a situation to where Oregon is like, I don't

(41:56):
want to talk about it, but I'm like, how do
they not if we're looking at this schedule route, how
is this not a team that makes the playoff? And
because in the Big ten, ten wins is going to
get you in the playoff.

Speaker 2 (42:15):
How many Big ten teams do you have in period?

Speaker 1 (42:20):
I had four and then I whittled it down to three.
But I do think that there is a chance that
a fourth gets in. And it's probably the most likely
scenario that we get four from the SCC, four from
the Big ten, the at large and ACC and a

(42:44):
big oh weh, sorry a Big twelve and two ACC teams.

Speaker 2 (42:50):
I have four in and I have my last two
out are an ACC and a Big twelve. I think
they might only get one in each. But I do
think if if the Big ten gets three or four teams,
the idea that Oregon wouldn't be one of those, I
don't see that happening.

Speaker 1 (43:05):
Yeah, so you just got to get into the tournament.
I mean, that's the thing is you got to get
to the tournament to be able to win and yeah
and yeah, with that, I think it's gonna be hard
for them not to be able to win, well, not
to get in the tournament at least, and then from there, Listen, man,
it's gonna be a gauntlet to get through it.

Speaker 2 (43:25):
So let me give you my twelve, and you tell
me if you have them in or don't have them in. Okay, Okay, Clemson.

Speaker 1 (43:34):
Okay, Clemson, do not have them in?

Speaker 2 (43:37):
Okay? Oregon? You said, yes, Ohio State, yep, Penn State, yes,
Georgia obviously. You said they're going to the NATY oh
miss yes, missoo no, okay, So that's one that's different.

Speaker 1 (43:59):
You talk, yes, liberty, Big twelve qualified.

Speaker 2 (44:04):
Okay, Liberty, Yes, even though I've.

Speaker 1 (44:08):
Been rethinking that, but I came back to it because
I think that Liberty and we can cover this real quick.
Is so obviously there's of the twelve teams, there is
the four conference champions that get in. So from the ACC,
Big Ten, Big twelve, and ACC, all four of those
are going to get in and be the top four

(44:28):
seeds you know, NFL style where they get there, so
they're gonna get the buy. And then you have eight
team and well, and then you have the highest power
non power five school that gets in, and then the
rest are at large bids. And I thought about going
with Boise State, but Boise State plays Oregon this year,

(44:50):
and if they get their absolute doors blown off, and
then you have another school like Liberty or somebody who's
in the mix, I think that they're gonna get voted
over because they're not gonna want to put them in
the playoff again if they just got just absolutely destroyed
by Oregon.

Speaker 2 (45:07):
I actually took a surprise school out to put them
in because I realized when I made this list that
I had forgotten them. Notre Dame.

Speaker 1 (45:16):
Yes, okay, so Notre Dame is in my top twelve.

Speaker 2 (45:21):
Iowa I know you have them close. Do you actually
have them in No?

Speaker 1 (45:25):
Absolutely not. Okay, they're not going to be able to
muster enough offense to get enough wins. All right.

Speaker 2 (45:30):
I know the answer to this because you said you
only had three Big ten teams are actually they're an
SEC team? Center mind? Oklahoma? Do you have Oklahoma in No?
Okay I do? And then Alabama. That's my twelve yeh,
I do?

Speaker 1 (45:42):
Okay, So read them in order for me?

Speaker 2 (45:44):
Okay. I don't know the order they'll actually be ranked,
but this is what I have. Clemson, Oregon, Ohio State,
Penn State, Georgia, Ole, Miss, Miszoo, Utah, Liberty, Notre Dame, Iowa, Oklahoma, Alabama.

Speaker 1 (46:01):
Okay. I ranked my twelve in order Georgia one okay,
Oregon two, Florida State three, and Utah four. That those
are going to be your four buys, okay. And then
I got Texas, Ohio State, Ole, Miss, Penn State, Notre Dame, Alabama, Miami,

(46:25):
and Liberty.

Speaker 2 (46:28):
Okay. So you're three different than me. Is you got
some acc respect in there? You have Florida State, you
have Miami, and then Texas. I do not have anything.

Speaker 1 (46:39):
Yeah, and I switched out Miami with Michigan, because when
I did this a few months ago, I had Michigan in.
But with all the turmoil that's going on, I think
that they're going to have a little bit of a
problem over there. And obviously Alex org at quarterbacks young
and you know that they've lost a lot. I think

(47:00):
it's gonna be hard for them. But when we were
doing this list, I started thinking about the conferences in general, right,
and we have the teams that we believe that are
gonna win the conferences as well, and I believe that
we are going to, like if we look at the

(47:21):
Big twelve ro we both believe that Utah is gonna
win the Big Twelve. But the competitors for the Big Twelve,
I think are that, oh that the only teams that
legitimately have a shot to win the Big Twelve. Obviously
health with standing. For these top teams, I think Utah

(47:42):
is far and away the leader in the clubhouse. And
then we got Oklahoma State and Arizona have an outside shot.

Speaker 2 (47:50):
And possibly Case State if they can get some replacement
production at quarterback.

Speaker 1 (47:56):
Yeah yeah, yeah, But I do like the Avery Johnson kid.
I think he's I have a legitimate shot. And then
in the ACC I have Florida State winning and you
clearly have Clemson winning, but I have but I think
that Miami, because of their schedule and how friendly their
schedule is, that they're going to have a legitimate shot

(48:17):
to win as well.

Speaker 2 (48:20):
So who were your four conference champions of the Big Four?

Speaker 1 (48:24):
Oh, it is Utah, Florida State, Oregon, and.

Speaker 2 (48:30):
Georgia And so yeah, our only difference there is I
have Clemson. So that brings us to another big prediction
heading into the season. Who do you think is going
to be on the Heisman stage at the end of
this year.

Speaker 1 (48:46):
Now, I want to give a caveat here. I love
the history of the Heisman Trophy, the pageantry, So I
don't want to sound like I'm poo pooing on the
Heisman Trophy because I aspire to be a Heisman voter.
I love the history of the award. I do believe

(49:07):
that there is that we're missing the mark on the
award a little bit. And this is where I would
do something different as a voter, which is it is
not the best player or it's not the quarterback on
one of the best teams in the country. I'm going

(49:28):
to be trying to take a holistic view of not
who can win the Heisman, but voting for the people
who have put up the best seasons and have been
the most important to their team. Like you have to
have the greatness of the season mixed with everything else.

(49:50):
So but the question is who's going to be on
that stage. So that's my caveat. I have my finalists.
I went with four finalists. Dylan Gabriel okay from a
quarterback at Oregon, Will Howard, quarterback at Ohio State. Because

(50:15):
if he's not on that stage, Ryan Day's getting fired.
I mean that's just the truth. Like that, that means
that Ohio State didn't That means they lost at least
two games if he's not on that stage because and
then the reason why they would have lost this because
he didn't play well. So Jylen Milroe, because he's with

(50:38):
Kayln de Boor, and after what happened with Michael Pennick Jr.
And what Jaln Milroe has shown us already adding in
some Kaylin de Boor to it, I am fully excited
about that kid. And then my last one surprise surprise

(51:00):
because if this team, this kid can be and This
is my dark horse spot because there's always somebody who
you know that you didn't expect to be in there,
in there, and he can get on this stage even
with Jylen Milrod there too, because his team can beat them.

(51:23):
And that is Nico E. Almalava quarterback.

Speaker 2 (51:27):
Wow. Okay, So I was in a gas station in
uh at by Nyland Stadium which is now Pilot Nayland
Stadium or whatever with that they got that gasoline money
and they were selling magazines by the Register. This is
a couple of weeks ago, and it said Nico Iamalva
Heisman candidate, and I was like, damn, this is the
most homer magazine I've ever seen in my life. But

(51:50):
now here we are on college football apostles and you're
throwing some weight behind him. I think that that's a
fun pick. Yeah, I really super dark.

Speaker 1 (51:58):
Kid working out for a very long time, known him
and his family. So, but that's not why he's on
the list. I think that him being at Tennessee, Tennessee's
roster potential, the fact that they have an opportunity to
beat Alabama, beat some other big time schools that are
going to be notable. He plays well in those games,
he's gonna have a chance to be on the stage.

Speaker 2 (52:18):
Mm hmm. Well, we share two of them, and I
think that they're going to be the ultimately the two finalists.
I think it's going to come down to Dylan Gabriel
or Jalen Milrow. So I'm with you on that. I
have Brady Cook on here because if.

Speaker 1 (52:32):
They get to the College Football Playoff, they could could
like it's the same situation.

Speaker 2 (52:38):
Yeah, yeah, I'm with I'm with you one hundred percent.
If he repeats what he did last year and they
find a way to get into the college Football Playoff,
I think there'll be some consideration there. You could probably
throw Jackson Dart in there too, But I like I
like Brady Cook a little bit more. Here's my dark horse,
and I actually have them just outside and you might
think I'm crazy. I just have them right outside the
college Football Playoff. Karen Drones, quarterback Virginia Tech.

Speaker 1 (53:00):
Dude, if Virginia Tech can find a way to get
in the a SEC Championship, he will legit. It will
be because he was.

Speaker 2 (53:09):
Not because of its spectacular Yeah yeah, and he I mean,
I look, and this is silly, I know. Seventeen touchdowns,
three interceptions, eight hundred yards rushing. Do you know who
did that a year before they blew up? I do, Yeah,
so Jayden Daniels. So I'm not trying to say that
the same first of all Kyen Drones looks like he

(53:30):
ate Jayden Daniels.

Speaker 1 (53:31):
But like I, I love my grandmother, but I but
I ate her. But it took a week because she
was fat. Do you know what that's wrong? I do
not mowana. Oh it's the big crab.

Speaker 2 (53:46):
Oh my gosh. Yeah, so I h that's my dark
horse is is Kyen Drones. But I do think it's
gonna come down to Dylan Gabriel or jayaln Milroe because
Dylan Gabriel's chasing the all time record for most touchdown
passes in a career, and Dylan Milroe has your boy,
Caitlyn de boor So, And I think I think, like
in the regular season, Dylan Gabriel is going to break
that record. He's like eighth right now, and so you

(54:10):
know that'll be that'll be interesting. Last one, who you
think is gonna be number one pick in the NFL draft?

Speaker 1 (54:16):
Oh, this one is tricky because number one in the
NFL Draft means that you had a great season and
there's some positional value to it as well. I am
going to go with Travis Hunter.

Speaker 2 (54:35):
I me too. I hate to be controversial, and I
know it's like a quarterback league, but the Panthers probably
gonna have that number one pick, and I think they'll
see enough of a leap at quarterback to not Now
if the Panthers trade out of that pick, it is
what it is. Yeah, but I think I think Travis
Hunter for a team like that, or or like a
Patriots or one of these teams that already got their

(54:57):
quarterback in the last couple of years.

Speaker 1 (54:58):
Yeah, I think because Dallas Cowboys end up with the
first overall pick, they picking you. I'm letting you know
that right now.

Speaker 2 (55:05):
Oh my gosh, that would be that ESPN would uh
there'd be people that at that network that would be
changing their paints if if SA Door Sanders went to
the Dallas Cowboys. We got one final segment this week,
and our listeners and viewers they can play along with this. Uh.

(55:27):
We last year we came up with a season long
contest and we're gonna be picking games like we always do. Uh.
But this year we came up with a game called
Overrated Underrated. Okay, and so the rules of this game
are very simple. It's gonna sound complicated, but it's very simple.
You and I are gonna draft six teams. Three of
them have to be teams we believe are overrated, which

(55:48):
means they were picked in the top five of their
power for conference by the media. And for every game
that they lose, we get three points. And for every
game that they finish a full game under their season
win total, we get five points. And then we'll also
draft three underrated teams. For every win, we'll get three points,

(56:09):
and for every game they finish above the Vegas line
for their season total, we'll get five. It'll be a
season long contest. Will update people as we go, But
the whole point of this is to draft first. We'll go, oh,
the overrated team.

Speaker 1 (56:29):
Yes, yes, I am going to go with I. Actually
I'll let you go first, Ralph. All right, Well I'll
go first. Then all right, my first, All right, So

(56:53):
who you got first? Ralph, you get first pick.

Speaker 2 (56:56):
Okay, so my overrated team. Gosh, man, you know this
is tough it. You know, I don't want to be
I don't want to come off as a as a hater,
but my number one overrated team in the country, I'm

(57:18):
gonna go LSU.

Speaker 1 (57:20):
Damn Ah, you stole one of my picks.

Speaker 2 (57:25):
So they were predicted to finish what fifth in the SEC? Yes,
I believe their season win total is somewhere around nine.
I'm looking for my paper where I wrote all this
stuff down, but I actually have it right here. So
the predicted according to bet online dot ag a predicted

(57:45):
win total for LSU this year and again they were
picked fifth in the SEC, is nine wins. So every
full game they finish under that, I'm gonna get five
points and for every loss this year, I'm gonna get
three points.

Speaker 1 (58:00):
All right. My team that I am going with overrated team,
a team that you have in the college football playoffs?

Speaker 2 (58:13):
It wow, okay? And I believe what they were picked
maybe second, yep okay, and they're Their overall win total
this year is also at nine, which is which is
interesting for a team that was picked second. That gives

(58:37):
me to the second pick. I'm going to keep it
in the ACC actually, and I'm gonna rock with Florida State.
So my my, I believe they were predicted to win
the ACC. I do not believe that that will happen
this year. And they're set at nine and a half wins,
So again, three points for every loss this year, five

(58:59):
points for every full loss behind their predicted season total,
which is at nine and a half right now.

Speaker 1 (59:07):
And what are the win totals for Kansas State and
Oklahoma State?

Speaker 2 (59:11):
Okay, so let's go over to the Big twelve. Currently,
the and that's when we lock it in is when
they get drafted. Kansas State is sitting at nine and
a half and Oklahoma State is sitting at eight and
a half for their predicted season total.

Speaker 1 (59:31):
Give me Kansas State.

Speaker 2 (59:34):
Okay, that's an interesting second pick. That's a really interesting
second pick. But that's also a really really high wind total.

Speaker 1 (59:41):
Yeah, and it's not because I don't think that Kansas
I just think that they're gonna win less than ten games. Okay,
So I feel safe and you know, like they can
still have a good season at eight and four and
then play their bowl game and everything be Okay.

Speaker 2 (59:58):
Of course, man, this is tough, all right. So let's
see my final pick. Huh, you went Big twelve and ACC.
I went SEC and ACC so uh let's oh, this

(01:00:23):
is tough, man, was Michigan picked to finish in the
top five of the Big Ten is the question? Uh?

Speaker 1 (01:00:38):
Yes, they were picked number four.

Speaker 2 (01:00:40):
Okay, so Michigan will be my third pick and I'll
finish with who of.

Speaker 1 (01:00:46):
My teams I should have drafted Michigan already? Damn it?
All right, cool, I'm going for my last pick with
another Big Ten team to I'll take Iowa.

Speaker 2 (01:00:56):
Then, okay, Okay, So then the produce.

Speaker 1 (01:01:00):
Events like the way that they used to win is
not gonna hold up in this new Big Tip.

Speaker 2 (01:01:05):
So I was sitting at eight and uh and Michigan
is is sitting at eight and a half. So that'll
be interesting. Let's move on to our underrated teams, all.

Speaker 1 (01:01:14):
Right, our underrated teams. Okay, so I will drafts first here. Okay,
So you took to of my teams and you should
not have let me in on this Texas Tech Secret basis.

Speaker 2 (01:01:25):
Oh my gods, no, this is gonna do some serious
damage to the narrative that you are a Red Raider
hater because you're calling them one of them underrated teams. Now,
they were picked ninth, which I think is pretty crazy. Uh,
they were picking ninth in the in the Big twelve. Now,
the win total is gonna be a little tough. I

(01:01:48):
think it's at seven and a half. Let me let
me confirm that. So the win total is not great,
but they could I mean, no, it's seven and a half.
Seven and a half. That's actually pretty good for a
team that might win nine ten games.

Speaker 1 (01:02:01):
Okay, So here's their schedule, so we got we went
over it earlier. Abilene, Christian Washington State, North Texas, Arizona State,
and Cincinnati. They can start out five and oh man, okay,
and they can get Baylor. They're not gonna beat Arizona.
Probably they can get Baylor. They could get TCU, Iowa, Colorado,

(01:02:24):
bro disculd. They gonna be staring at nine wins. Down
in the face, buddy.

Speaker 2 (01:02:31):
Okay, So you had your homer moment and I joined
you in picking Oregon to win the national championship. Now
comes my homer moment. Pick to finish last in the
Big twelve with a win total of four and a half.
I'm going the Sun Devils. Arizona State is my first
pick for my underrated draft. Their win total is at
four and a half. They might enter conference play three

(01:02:51):
and oh, it's a real possibility. So I'm going to
Arizona State.

Speaker 1 (01:02:54):
Ute. I was gonna take Arizona State second.

Speaker 2 (01:02:59):
Great mindstickle like my friend great minds think of Like,
who is your second pick in our overrated underrated contest?

Speaker 1 (01:03:07):
Is Oklahoma?

Speaker 2 (01:03:14):
Is Oklahoma a bottom half team?

Speaker 1 (01:03:17):
I believe one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight?
Oh damn? There at number eight?

Speaker 2 (01:03:25):
Yeah, they gotta be nine or below, which means that
the sec list starts with Texas A and M Okay.

Speaker 1 (01:03:31):
So in that case, give me.

Speaker 2 (01:03:35):
Give me Florida, Okay. Five and a half wins is
the current prediction. You believe that seven wins is possible
and that eight wins is almost impossible. Yes, so this
is an interesting pick for you, based on a full
off season of not not smack talk but analysis. Yeah,

(01:03:56):
I think that was a very very interesting pick. So, man, I'm.

Speaker 1 (01:04:02):
Gonna go last pick. I'm screwed because because I because
the Oklahoma I had four teams well sorry, five teams there,
and you took well one of them in Oklahoma wasn't
available because I can't count, and you took Arizona State.
So so if you choose my last one, I'm screwed.

Speaker 2 (01:04:19):
I don't think this one's even on your radar, does
a deep cut for me? My My second pick for
most underrated is gonna be University of Pittsburgh because their
win total is sitting at five and a half. I
think they had an uncharacteristically bad season last year. I
don't know if they're gonna be short up at quarterback,
but that guy they have coming in from Alabama, Eli Holstein,

(01:04:41):
my guy Chili, swears that he's going to take over
college football. So in the event that you said love,
he does, love, he does. So I'm gonna I'm gonna
ride with Chili on this one. I'm gonna go Pittsburgh
for my number two at five and a half wins.

Speaker 1 (01:04:55):
Okay, And for my last pick, I'm taking UCLA La Bruins.

Speaker 2 (01:05:02):
Really, yeah, they were. They were predicted to finish what
third to last in the in the Big Ten. They're
at five and a half? Is there is their win total?

Speaker 1 (01:05:13):
Yeah?

Speaker 2 (01:05:15):
Okay, man, you really did take my number one pick.
And I I I'm I'm, I'm I'm scrambling a little bit.
I as a former Pac twelve apostle, I think I
have to go with Troy Taylor and Stanford because they're
sitting at a three and a three and a half.

Speaker 1 (01:05:32):
Yeah, oh that's a good one because you could get
up to six and that one that would give you
some some good some good points right there.

Speaker 2 (01:05:39):
Yeah, and so, but I also they they could get wrecked,
so high risk, high reward. My final pick uh Stanford
Cardinal Uh and their their win totals at three and
a half. So I got two teams out of the ACC,
one out of the Big twelve. This is gonna be
a fun contest.

Speaker 1 (01:05:57):
Yeah. Yeah, I'm absolutely excited about it. And you guys,
we are excited about the pack. College football damn attract
swells in your blood. The college football apostles you guys,
make sure that you guys like, subscribe, Share, tell a friends,
