Speaker 1 (00:02):
Welcome to the solid verbal hull.

Speaker 2 (00:05):
That for me.

Speaker 3 (00:06):
I'm a man, I'm forty.

Speaker 4 (00:08):
I've heard so many players say, well, I want to
be happy. You want to be happy for a day?
Edo State is that?

Speaker 1 (00:13):
Whoo whoo?

Speaker 3 (00:14):
And no Dan and tie Dan Evenstein.

Speaker 1 (00:19):
You know you called it speed test Saturday, and instead
of that, I think we got something that I would
call skin of your teeth Saturday.

Speaker 3 (00:29):
You know, not a lot of upsets, but we had
a bunch.

Speaker 1 (00:31):
Of close games, more than enough reason to be plenty
entertained by college Football Week twelve, which, of course we
will talk through here over the next hour hour and
fifteen or so.

Speaker 3 (00:43):
Dan, how are you welcome back? Good?

Speaker 4 (00:45):
You take your pick squirt through Saturday, anything you want,
you know, the sneak by Saturday. There's plenty you can
do with it. When you look at some of the
headlining results, I guess other than Georgia not a squeaker.
Georgia over Texas not a squeaker. There were a few squeakers.
There were a few not so squeaky games. I'm good,

(01:05):
I'm I'm charged up.

Speaker 3 (01:07):
Ty.

Speaker 4 (01:08):
We've had a full day of ridiculousness. We've had a
full day of hopes being met with how exciting some
of these games were, hopes being dashed for a lot
of people out there whose teams got out to potential
upset sprints and then couldn't make it work in the end.
There's a lot to talk about. There are a ton
of implications within conferences for next week, for the postseason,

(01:33):
for next season. You take your pick. This was a
great Saturday slash, Friday, Saturday slash, Friday, Thursday, Wednesday, Tuesday, Saturday.
However you want to quantify this week twelve, it was terrific.
We've got a lot to dive into. I'll start wherever
you want to. I'm choked up thinking about it. Where
are we going.

Speaker 3 (01:53):
Drink some water?

Speaker 1 (01:53):
So look, we had we had seven of the top
twenty five teams go down, those being Alabama, Texas, Louisville, Iowa, Pitt, USF,
and Cincinnati. I counted yes on my seven fingers to
make sure I got that right. I had put down
here on my note sheeted disclaimer that BYU was playing

(02:15):
a late game.

Speaker 2 (02:15):
Here.

Speaker 1 (02:16):
Does not look like BYU is going to lose this one.
They're currently mopping up on TCU at halftime. Try as
we might Dan, there's almost no way to avoid the
fact that we need to start with what went down
in the SEC. You know, we're a national show, and
I know a bunch of national shows often get dunked
on for talking a lot about the SEC, and we

(02:37):
try to be balanced here, right, we're two guys from
the North. But nevertheless, I think we have to start
with what went down in the SEC. They were the
most significant games of Week twelve, and the biggest one,
I think on the heels of what went down in
week twelve is what we saw with Oklahoma and Alabama.

Speaker 3 (02:58):
I agree.

Speaker 4 (03:00):
I tried to pitch you on leading off with Katon
Hawser throwing an absolute dime for ECU taking down Memphis, right,
but I was denied the opportunity to expand on a
beautiful game winning pass and drive from the Pirates over Memphis,
which has thrown the America not into disarray but into
a level of intrigue with Navy, and look, man, we'll

(03:24):
get there.

Speaker 1 (03:24):
I went through all of the scenarios at least that
I could think up, and I will talk through what
that looks like a little bit later on in this episode.
It's gonna get really interesting, Like of all the playoff
stuff that I think we're going to put ourselves through
over the next like three to four weeks or so,

(03:45):
you could make a really strong case that, at least
for a good chunk of our audience, the most interesting
playoff chase is for that one G six spot. And
I do believe it will be one G six spot
now that Duke is out of the picture. But that's
going to be interesting. I'll talk about that ok a
little bit later on. In the meantime, though I believe
we both did pick Oklahoma.

Speaker 3 (04:08):
We did.

Speaker 1 (04:08):
I also believe that only one member of this broadcasting
dynamo had the foresight, the knowledge, the gumption to pick
the exact twenty three to twenty one score, Dan, and
that will be yours, truly, congratulations. I have not picked
anything right all year. Not only did I do, we

(04:29):
both did.

Speaker 3 (04:30):
I had him out right. That's pretty good, both had
him out right. Not only did we both pick.

Speaker 1 (04:34):
Them outright, but I actually had the correct score. And
I'm going to hang my hat on that because it
has been a rough year of picking games.

Speaker 4 (04:42):
Dog, this was your Miguel Rojas can't connect on anything
and then hits a big one and it was all
worth it. Okay, So, yes, Oklahoma wins this game. They
win this game, and I know you're gonna have a
lot that stood out to you, But they win this
game because they were the better team the trenches. They
were the better team in big moments.

Speaker 3 (05:02):
They were the better.

Speaker 4 (05:03):
Team to come up with big plays when needed, and
they were, you know, able to force turnovers in a
way and then take advantage obviously with a pick six.
They had the best duo of brothers in this game
with the Bowens, and they were a team that just

(05:23):
never lost sight of how they are supposed to win
a game like this given their roster, and that was
going to be in the trenches. That was going to
be taking advantage of some you know, deficiencies on Alabama's
offensive line, especially the right side of Alabama's offensive line
at times, and that they weren't offensively going to try
and play outside of themselves. No, and when push came

(05:46):
to shove late in the game, they just made play
after play after play on defense without their best pass rushure,
without their most disruptive defensive player in our Mason Thomas,
Oklahoma is now for whatever their own deficiencies on whatever
side of the ball, which is probably not talking about
the defense. They're now on an Alabama winning streak.

Speaker 1 (06:05):
That is correct. Officially, that is correct. So look, the
thing we both highlighted when we did the preview for
the Oklahoma Alabama game in week twelve was the Oklahoma
pass rush, and we both had a question as to
whether or not that Oklahoma pass rush would be good
enough to get the Tye Simpson to speed him up

(06:26):
to force some mistakes. I didn't see the final count.
I don't know what the total number of pressures was.
I know at halftime it was ten pressures on ty Simpson,
and they showed it at halftime what his numbers looked
like under pressure, And as you might expect, like every
quarterback in college football, when they're pressured, their numbers go down,
ty Simpson's numbers went down. All told, Oklahoma on defense

(06:48):
was able to force three turnovers that amounted to seventeen
points off of those turnovers, which ultimately I think is
what swung the game. This is clearly, to your point,
not a dynamic, high scoring Oklahoma offense. But John Mattier
is dynamic. He is very good when he has to

(07:10):
find a way to make a play they're just not
gonna blow the doors off you when they've got the ball.
And also, of note, they know it.

Speaker 3 (07:19):
They know it.

Speaker 1 (07:20):
There's a lot of value in this life about being
self aware. Oklahoma knows exactly what it is. On offense,
they know they're limited. They know they're not gonna score
thirty eight points a game. That is not who they are.
They're gonna lean on their defense. They're gonna get as
many big plays as they can from Jommettier in that offense,
and that's how they want to win. And they did
win this one. They did win this they did twenty

(07:42):
three to twenty one. I think they're in the driver's
seat for a playoff spot now by virtue of beating Alabama.
A couple teams in front, well we'll talk about something
just in front of them.

Speaker 4 (07:51):
But the road that they've traveled, both in the SEC
and in beating Michigan, their resume is just such that
there's not a lot of teams that you know, can
compare in terms of the week in week out of
their resume. Can we But we should say something that
I think is also true, like the two things can
be true at the same time. If this game were

(08:12):
played a hundred times. I'm not sure Oklahoma wins fifty
of them given what they were and were not able
to accomplish on offense, you know, like they sneak by
this game, winning the turnover marchin three nothing right that. Yes,
they were the better team in the trenches, but to
beat Alabama with what sixteen offensive points like it doesn't

(08:36):
take I'm my saying this is not meant to take
anything away from Oklahoma because you win however you can win,
and it was an incredible performance from Oklahoma. They were
the they were the winners in this game. Winning as
a skill. They had more of those skills today. But
it's not exactly a replicable formula for beating the twenty
twenty five Alabama Crimson Tide. They were just able to

(08:57):
get away with it today by making the big plays
in bigger moments more often. I just wouldn't recommend teams
looking at this as like a blueprint to beating Alabama.

Speaker 3 (09:07):
That's all now.

Speaker 1 (09:08):
I mean, they've got the defense, as I said, to
put pressure on the quarterback to speed things up, to
change the game plan if you're Kalin de Boor and
Ryan Grubb, and that is essentially what Oklahoma did. There
is probably a limit to that because eventually, if they
do find their way into the playoff, eventually they're going

(09:28):
to find a team that can score on them. Eventually
they're gonna have to play from behind. And this is
not necessarily an offense that's built to do that. But
when the defense is firing, when they're able to change
the game, when they're able to keep it close, and
when they're able to put the ball in the hands
of a dynamic quarterback like John Matier when the game
is close, you know, they give themselves a good chance

(09:49):
to win. They did win this one, twenty three to
twenty one. I don't know what it looks like out
of a thousand simulations, but this was the one that
mattered to where I think in the driver's seat now.
As I said, for a playoff bid, They've got two
home games left against Missouri and LSU, both of those
I think look pretty winnable. They're almost certainly now going
to jump into the top ten as a result of

(10:11):
this win, if only because the team in front of
them in Texas lost. If they went out there in
the playoff, I feel pretty confident saying that at this
point and I'm with you, and on the Bama side, Look,
they're still in the driver's seat to get to the
SEC title game even with this loss. This was only
their first conference loss. They had the loss Week one
against Florida State, but this is only their first conference loss.

(10:35):
They've got the tiebreaker over Georgia because they won that
game back at the end of September, and basically, as
long as they win the iron ball, they're making it through.
So there's still very much in front of Alabama. This
is not a soul crushing loss. It just lost number two.
They probably can't afford another one for a whole multitude
of reasons, but they're still in a pretty good spot

(10:57):
despite the fact that they lost this one by two.

Speaker 4 (10:59):
At all I see, I still think it's soul crushing.
I think you have good perspective, but I think if
you're a Bama fan and you watch the way that
this offense was unable to rise to the moment in
that second half, once again not growing into the game,
which has been We talked about this on the preview show,
that this offense has just stalled out too much in
these second halves and a lot of that has to

(11:22):
do with them being unable to control anything on the ground,
and it's a red zone thing, it's a prolonging drive thing,
it's a wearing out defense thing to give yourself easier
opportunities in the second half thing. And we saw it
once again that Oklahoma didn't have to dedicate much manpower
to stopping Alabama on the ground because Bama themselves have
been unable to figure out how to build a more

(11:44):
complete offense. And when the Bama offense is humming through
the air, it's nearly impossible to stop consistently. But when
you have a defense as talented and as angry and
as varied as Oklahoma's is and was on Saturday, it
becomes a little bit more manageable.

Speaker 1 (12:00):
And we said that in the broad in the preview
broadcasts as well, right, that the one dimensional nature of
the offense was something that we were just at that point.
It was a curiosity to see how it would fare
against a really tough Oklahoma defense that can rush the
passer and can do all the things that we saw
them do today. So your final score was twenty three
to twenty one, a huge win for brand Vannables, is

(12:21):
a huge win for Oklahoma. It is not lost on you.
It is not lost on me that Oklahoma has had
a brutal SEC schedule. We talked about it all season long,
We talked about it all pre season long. The fact
that they are here now, I think on the doorstep
of a ten and two season with that schedule, with

(12:42):
a lot of new people on that roster, that speaks
volumes about what brand Venables has done this year, even
if it isn't always sexy in terms of what they're
doing on offense to get to this point. They deserve
all the success they have coming to them because yeah,
because of the job that they've done so.

Speaker 4 (12:58):
And by the way, one of the like the headline
new guy is Jaydan, not the running back from cal
You know, a mix of just not working out and
being beat up has not contributed basically.

Speaker 3 (13:06):
Anything this season and they're still doing it.

Speaker 1 (13:08):
Yeah, where do you want to go next? What jumped
out to you next? I think we should start in
the SEC. There's like two other games in particular that
we probably need to lead off with.

Speaker 5 (13:17):
Here.

Speaker 4 (13:18):
We can go just by ranking and talk Texas A
and M coming back, because then it's easy to get
to Georgia Texas and we will momentarily, but because Texas
A and M came in number three in the country
and fell down.

Speaker 3 (13:31):
Thirty to three.

Speaker 1 (13:32):
Oh my god, I was watching this game. Jaw a
gape thirty to three. This is the tail. Two haves
this game thirty to three. South Carolina led at halftime.

Speaker 4 (13:47):
It's also kind of an A and M thing. By
the way, the weird, messy, horrific first halves cleaned up
continue A.

Speaker 1 (13:56):
And M scored twenty eight unanswered to win this one.
It was their largest comeback in program history. They were
down twenty seven. They needed this one to stay unbeaten.
It was a putrid first half for Texas A and M.
They kept tripping over themselves. They could not get any
momentum going. Marcel Reid was dreadful. Yes, in the first half,

(14:20):
he had three first half interceptions or three first half turnovers,
but the two interceptions were bad. It felt like South
Carolina was in complete control of this game and like
there was no way Texas A and M was going
to be able to regain momentum. But then the second
half came and second half was a different story. The
South Carolina offense effectively stalled out their second half possessions.

(14:44):
I listed them off. They went turnover on downs, punt punt, punt,
turnover on downs. That was it. Meanwhile, yet A and
M scoring on their first four drives in the second half,
they grabbed the lead. For as bad as it started
for Marcel Reid, he ends up finishing with a career
high four hundred and thirty nine passing yards to go
along with three touchdowns. So I don't know where we

(15:07):
start with this. Do we start on the A and
M side, with the fact that they came from behind,
that they did what they did, They maintain their lead
in the sec they remain unbeaten, they remain a top
three team in the country. Or do we talk about
the South Carolina collapse? Which one do you want to
go with first?

Speaker 4 (15:25):
I think we should start positive with A and M.
Because this has been the story of A and M's year,
when they blow teams out, when they get teams fired,
teams coaches fired, when they explode in these second halves.
That this is what has defined them this year, That
they get better over the course of the game, that
they get off the field. On defense, quicker and quicker,

(15:47):
I think they're the number one third down defense in America.
I believe if they're not one, they're in the top three,
they're not four, and that they just shut teams down
on defense in the second half and make adjustments and
play angrier and control the ground. And they didn't even
really control the ground that much on offense today, which
I think sort of underscores where when Texas A and

(16:09):
M is succeeding, a lot of that comes on the ground.
For as much flash as Marcel Reid provides, it's been
Ruben Owens, it's been the guys on the ground that
have really paced things. Look, it's very difficult to fall
down thirty three and then make it a game in
a quarter. This didn't come down to the end in
terms of when South Carolina allowed Texas A and M

(16:32):
or Textas A and M earned their way back into
this game. This was by the start of the fourth quarter.
It was a game, yeah, exactly. And so I think
there's a certain amount of metal fortitude it takes to
be down twenty seven points and say to yourself, let's
just go out and operate and see what happens. And
South Carolina the play calling was terrible. Now, I consider
myself to be a little bit of an expert going

(16:54):
up big in the first half after watching what Oregon
did in the Alimoble about a decade ago, so I know,
I kept hearing this on. I think it was like
the halftime shows on ESPN, like the Anatomy of an
upset and what it takes. And really Texas A and
M gave South Carolina the blueprint to beat them, right,
it's taking advantage of the turnovers. But South Carolina in

(17:17):
that second half with an interim play caller offensive coordinator
after Mike schules Leto made a few terrible calls on
high leverage moments on your third and shorts and fourth
in shorts. They're one of the worst running teams in
America and they're just sending a running back into a
nine ten man box like over and over again, taking
the ball out of Lenora's sellers his hands. And he

(17:38):
wasn't great on the ground himself. But if you're going
to do anything to extend drives, maybe have him make
some more decisions and have him have more say in it.
Does that Does that make sense to you?

Speaker 3 (17:47):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (17:47):
I thought Leonora is kind of stunk in this game.

Speaker 3 (17:50):
He wasn't that good to be clear. I agree.

Speaker 1 (17:52):
Yeah, I thought there were passes out there that he missed,
you know, balls that were high or just errant, and
I kept waiting for him to switch it on. You know,
this would have been one of those moments where Leonora's
sellers could have truly become He could have like etched
himself into the mythology of South Carolina football by engineering

(18:15):
an upset here. Even after the game got really close late,
I kept like waiting for that moment and it never happened,
and that, to me was really disappointing. You know, I
want to credit A and M for what they did,
because digging out of a twenty seven point a hole
is not easy. Finding a way to win with four turnovers,
going two of eleven on third downs that is really something, Okay,

(18:36):
That is like a multiplier that most teams can achieve.
And they did it because they're rock solid across the board,
because they've got a good coach, and because it seems
like this is a team that's figured out how to
win in a multitude of different ways. So I don't
want to take anything away from them, and certainly Marcel
Reid for getting his game back on track in the
second half. All of these things are very much to

(18:58):
A and m's credit. By the way, it sounds like
Mike Elcho now has a six year contract extension, so
he presumably will not be on the move amid a
historic coaching cycle. Credit again to Texas A and M
for kind of finding their guy, sticking with it, putting
together this great season in this great program. By the way,
nothing but continued success to them. I wish them the best.

Speaker 4 (19:20):
Yes, and nearly every State trooper providing security in this
game behaved appropriately. Let's be clear, nearly every one of
the troopers providing security in this game behaved appropriately, and
almost all of them were able to stay within the
stadium and not be sent home for trying to bump

(19:41):
Nick Harbor for no reason in the tunnel as he
was walking back from a touchdown.

Speaker 3 (19:46):
What was that?

Speaker 6 (19:47):
I don't know, man.

Speaker 4 (19:49):
Yeah, it's the easiest thing to do is stay out
of the player's way. It's Nick Harbor is not an
easy person to miss.

Speaker 1 (19:56):
I saw somebody online mentioned and maybe it was in
our discord. I don't even know, not a hard person
of Excuse me, so somebody talking about how the state
trooper who interacted with two South Carolina players, I believe
in the Northeast tunnel.

Speaker 3 (20:11):
Yeah, he treated them.

Speaker 1 (20:13):
As if they were students who had like a red
solo cup, angry that they might have, like an alcoholic
beverage that they weren't supposed to have.

Speaker 3 (20:21):
Or something very bizarre.

Speaker 4 (20:23):
It was like seeing like a senior walking down a
high school locker room hallway or locker hallway whatever in
a high school and freshman walking towards him and him
not moving and hitting them in the show like.

Speaker 3 (20:36):
It was very odd behavior.

Speaker 1 (20:38):
If you if you don't know what we're talking about,
if you know to watch the game, just go online
and run a quick search for like Texas A and
M South Carolina cop and you will see exactly what
we're talking about. Yeah, just a very strange, only in
college football type of moment that I think we saw.
Let me say this though about the South Carolina thing.

Speaker 5 (20:59):
I was. I was.

Speaker 3 (21:03):
I had a visceral.

Speaker 1 (21:04):
Reaction to the way that they blew this game.

Speaker 3 (21:06):
It was so efficient, bow tie, you gotta tip your cap.

Speaker 1 (21:10):
Texas A and M came back so quickly in the
second half. It was almost immediate that you knew that,
oh my god, they're gonna South Carolina's gonna blow this game,
and I felt horrible for the South Carolina people that
listened to this show. The analogy that I made almost
immediately to you was that they pulled a Jose Mesa. Sure,

(21:32):
this was an incredible blown save. And my initial reaction,
and I know it was knee jerk, and I'm not
even one hundred percent serious about it, but you could
check the tape, you could check the slack channel. My
first thought what I sent to you was they got
a fire. They gotta fire Shane Beaver because this was malpractice.
To lose a game like this felt like malpracticed to me. Yeah,

(21:54):
And had they won, they would have had a real
shot at a bowl with a horrible schedule and and
you know, no shortage of their own deficiencies because they
got Coastal Carolina left. They play a game against Clemson
to close out this year. Both of those are at home.
I think winnable, potentially winnable.

Speaker 3 (22:11):
Right sure.

Speaker 1 (22:13):
To lose in this manner is just an absolute stomach punch.
When you had the number three team in the land
on the ropes in their home stadium and you walk
away with a one point lost thirty one thirty Just.

Speaker 3 (22:26):
Does this change anything?

Speaker 4 (22:27):
Does this change anything to about what you feel about
Texas A and M. I mean, they've had close calls
this season, they haven't played an incredible schedule, They've taken
care of business obviously. We talked about how strong they
get in second halves. Does this happening repeatedly against a
team like Arkansas now a team like South Carolina? I
don't know if Texas is built to take advantage of

(22:50):
this specific weakness. Come on, but well the games in Austin.
It's not an easy game. There's a lot of emotion
behind it. But does it change your outlook about what
they're seeing is nationally in a potential playoff pitcame No.

Speaker 1 (23:03):
It doesn't. Not for me.

Speaker 3 (23:06):
I don't think so either.

Speaker 5 (23:07):
No.

Speaker 4 (23:07):
I think they sort of have been this and so
they're going to be entertaining one way or the other,
and they'll win or loose.

Speaker 1 (23:14):
It's it's not always how you start, it's how you finish.
And I mean they went on a torrid scoring streak
here twenty eight unanswered to win this one, and still
South Carolina had a chance at the end. They had
another chance again and they just like Everything they tried
in the second half went nowhere. And I don't know
if that's coaching, I don't know if that's play calling.

(23:35):
I don't know if it's just Texas A and M
found another gear. It's probably a combination of all those things.
But the manner of which they lost this game was
like heartbreaking. And again, I didn't even have a dog
in the fight. I don't even remember who I picked.
Probably didn't matter. I think we probably both were on
Texas A and M if we picked this game at all.
But yeah, but it's this was this was a dagger man,

(23:56):
what a dog.

Speaker 4 (23:57):
It was just much more once you started seeing how
this game was going in the first half, and then
immediately seeing how it was going in the third quarter.

Speaker 3 (24:05):
I was rooting for you. We were all rooting for you.
Out damn. You learn something from this, That's all I asked.
It's all I asked.

Speaker 1 (24:14):
How long has it since you played the tyre clip?

Speaker 4 (24:16):
It's probably been about eleven years. I have no idea.
I found it deep within the archive.

Speaker 1 (24:22):
Georgia thirty five to ten over Texas Dan.

Speaker 3 (24:26):
Yeah, speaking of doing nothing in the second.

Speaker 1 (24:28):
Half, Oh my god, this escalated quickly didn't it. Yes,
At one point we're chatting online, it's like fourteen to ten.
The next thing, you know, you take a long pe
as you like to say, and it was thirty five
to ten ballgame. I thought Georgia made Texas will completely pedestrian,
completely pedestrian in this game.

Speaker 4 (24:48):
And I thought Texas did a good job of that
as well for a game they were in the first half.

Speaker 1 (24:53):
Yeah, yeah, for a good chunk of this game, for sure.
I expected this to some extent with the Texas offense.
But the way that Georgia moved the ball in the
Texas defense, to me, especially in the second half, that
is not something I was fully expecting. I didn't think
they would have this much success against a good Texas defense,
but they in the second half of this game, especially

(25:15):
as we got in the latter stages of the third
quarter into the fourth quarter, it was clear that this
Texas defense was on skates and Georgia had basically licensed
to do whatever they wanted.

Speaker 3 (25:29):
I'm with you.

Speaker 4 (25:30):
You brought up this point going into the episode that
the Texas pass defense just hasn't been there despite having
a very good pass rush, that the secondary hasn't been there.
The secondary has been beat up, and when the Texas
offense is departing the field as efficiently as they are,
you're just putting your own defense in a terrible position. Yeah,
and I thought with George's ability to stay on the field,

(25:54):
not necessarily bombing it downfield all the time, but consistently executing,
you're just wearing down. We talked about, you know, speed
test Saturday and just like where are your legs come November,
And it just seemed like George's game plan was perfect
to wear Texas down. And Texas has dudes on this defense,
especially upfront obviously in the linebacking corps, absolutely just can't

(26:17):
stay on the field the whole time. And when Texas
has the drops that they do, when they don't necessarily
have go to receivers consistently like they've had these past
couple seasons, George is going to be able to take advantage.
And yeah, it was fourteen to ten in the second half,
and then just absolute brass balls from Kirby Smart following

(26:37):
a touchdown up with a perfectly executed on sidekick that
wasn't even like scrummed for the ball, No, it was
just caught in rhythm as Texas players turned their back
on a gently bouncing on sidekick and that was turned
into points, and got a quick stop that was then
turned into points from a short field. You know, Texas

(26:59):
was backed up. It was just it was an efficient
and brutal display of peak Georgia football. I thought the
play calling was really good from Georgia. I thought Gunnar
Stockton was great in this game, like on the ground,
making decisions, quick decisions. They spread the ball out really nicely.

(27:20):
They weren't killers on the ground. It wasn't a big
Johncey Bowen's game, but Nate Frasier made plays. I don't know,
this was like it felt like peak Georgia to me.

Speaker 1 (27:29):
I mean they would leak a running back out of
the backfield to one side of the field and then
to the other, and then when Texas wisened up to that,
then they would leak a tight end out, or they
would leak a receiver out, or Zachariah brand should be
sitting in a pocket, and it just like it felt
to me like whatever they wanted to do they could do. Yeah,
And I know that wasn't true for the entirety of

(27:51):
the game, but certainly down the stretch when it counted
the most. Georgia just blew the doors off of Texas.
I mean it just it didn't even seem like they
belonged in the same field. They just completely outclassed them
in the second half. On the Texas side, I mean,
too many drops, too many penalties, never able to gain
any kind of momentum. I think it needs to be
mentioned again and again and again. The line stinks, yeah,

(28:15):
but Arch also miss dudes. Arch miss dudes, but the
line stinks. Yeah, they can't run. And when the line
stinks and can't run, that puts more pressure on your quarterback.
And I thought, all things considered, Arch Manning played a
pretty good game. He made some he made some bad throws.
He definitely had some misses. But I think people need
to understand it's all on him. It's all on him.

(28:37):
I talked about it in the preview, but like I
checked the stats on the most pressured FBS quarterbacks, the
most pressured power for quarterbacks, and Arch Manning was in
the top ten coming into week twelve. I'm sure, well
I don't know what it's going to be coming out
of Week twelve, but for sure, like it's a lot
on him, it's all on his arm. He was clearly

(28:58):
emotional about it. He wanted to play a better game.
I think he did all right. I don't think this
is his fault that they lost this game. I think
Georgia is the better team. I think this was a
demonstration of what Georgia can do against a team that
doesn't have an offensive line that's up to stuff. So
I don't necessarily blame Arch for being emotional about it.
I thought, all things considered, again, he played a pretty

(29:19):
good game, but they were not the better team out there.
They certainly did not have the offense to go toe
to toe with this Georgia defense.

Speaker 4 (29:25):
No, and this Georgia defense hasn't been incredible this year
at all times, but sort of outside of you know,
some of the Alabama game, the Tennessee game, the ole
Miss game has been quietly improving. But you're right, this
is not a defense to the recent Georgia standard. No,
and it's very young. Obviously, they're going to grow into it.
I think they have grown into it. I think they're

(29:46):
at the point now where they're just not where they
were a month ago.

Speaker 1 (29:50):
To we can stop talking now about how young they are, right,
because they've.

Speaker 3 (29:54):
They've started eight nine to ten games. Yeah, they played
like two and a half months of this.

Speaker 1 (29:57):
Now it's they're sort of you know, well, they've got
some seasoning for sure.

Speaker 4 (30:02):
The athletes are there, and I saw c J. Allen
got hurt. We'll see how big of a deal that is.
I mean, he is obviously a huge deal for this defense.
We'll see what that means for the rest of their season.
Obviously setting up for a huge game against Georgia Tech
to finish things out. But no, I don't know how
you come away anything but crazy impressed with what George

(30:22):
has been able to do lately.

Speaker 1 (30:24):
I completely agree this. So here's where George is at
right now. Please George has done with their SEC schedule.
They do not have the head to head tiebreaker with
Alabama because they played and they lost. But in order
for them to play for the SEC title, they either
need Auburn to beat Alabama and the Iron Bowl or

(30:45):
Texas to beat Texas A and M when they play
their rivalry and they renew that rivalry in Austin last
week of the season. It's also worth noting that if
both of those teams lose, there is potential for it
to be Georgia against Old Miss. I'm not counting on that.
That would require a lot to happen.

Speaker 4 (31:02):
You're talking about if Texas A and M and Alabama lose.
If Texas A and Georgia Oles.

Speaker 1 (31:07):
Yes, and Alabama lose and Ole Miss wins the Egg Bowl,
that would be a scenario in which you get some
different teams than maybe some are expecting in that SEC
title game. But right now, I still think Alabama is
sort of in the driver's seat. Obviously, the same is
true for Texas A and M, the most likely SEC
championship game right now, by virtue of the results that

(31:28):
we saw in week twelve, it looks like Texas A
and M against Alabama Georgia will be next up. Beyond that,
you know, that's when you get into the weird Old
Miss scenario. Texas is fully out of all this stuff now.
They just are. They have three losses. They're not going
to play for the SEC, They're out of the playoff picture.
They could certainly play a large role if they knock

(31:49):
off Texas A and M the last week of the
regular season. That could have a real impact on what
A and m's path looks like. But in terms of
playing for some of these more grandiose achievements that many
had expected at the start of the year. That's not
going to happen in twenty twenty five for Texas. No.

Speaker 4 (32:11):
Also, Georgia looks like the best team in the SEC
right now and they're not even in line to play,
which might be fine by them, honestly, given schedule of
playoffs stuff.

Speaker 3 (32:21):
That's the SEC. There are other results in the SEC.

Speaker 1 (32:23):
Will come back to those a little bit later on,
but those are sort of like the Three Biggies. There
were plenty of other games around college football that involve
ranked teams, that involve playoff that involve conference implications that
we can talk through now if you're interested, would love too.
The ACC is fascinating for a variety of different reasons.

(32:48):
I am most interested in Pitt, as you know, because
I picked Pitt to go to the ACC title game. Okay,
Pitt had a non conference game in Week twelve against
Notre Dame. Pitt got smoked by Notre Dame. They got
absolutely shelled by Notre Dame in this way.

Speaker 4 (33:05):
Yeah, and to their credit, they let it happen quickly.

Speaker 3 (33:08):
They did.

Speaker 1 (33:09):
They did.

Speaker 4 (33:09):
They didn't give anybody any hope for very long in
this Now I watched.

Speaker 1 (33:13):
This game with my mom. I went up to mom
h's I figure, you know what this is. This is
a prime opportunity to do that. I don't get to
watch games with her anymore because of what we do.

Speaker 3 (33:21):
Yeah, built some core memories.

Speaker 1 (33:22):
I want to I want to go up and watch
this game with her. So I got some cheese steaks
from the good cheese steak placed by me, took them up.
We watched the game. After the first few plays, got
that like little nauseous feeling in my stomach. Oh boy,
here we go. Yeah, I've seen this before, but it
was like one drive. Notre Dame stopped them on that one.

(33:44):
I think they got the ball they punted, but then
right out like it happened.

Speaker 3 (33:48):
We didn't do anything on that.

Speaker 4 (33:50):
I had like a fifteen yard game and Mason Heinschel
missed like it was a.

Speaker 3 (33:53):
Twenty yard drive. It was, Yes, I felt very easy,
which is why I was nervous.

Speaker 4 (33:59):
I'm there was a bad drop that happened like inside
the town.

Speaker 1 (34:03):
I know, I know, I know, But a few plays
in I was getting that feeling in the stomach. But
then after that it was the game was basically over
after the first four drives. Pitt had eighty six yards
at half. Notre Dame was in the backfield every play.
I would love to see them convert some more of
that pressure into sacks, but considering where they were at

(34:24):
the start of the year, baby steps will take pressure. Okay,
baby steps, you'll, you'll. This is definite improvement. It certainly
was not the cleanest game for CJ.

Speaker 2 (34:33):
Carr.

Speaker 1 (34:34):
I think he had two bad interceptions in this one,
but continued his nice report with Malachi Fields. They had
two touchdowns together through the air, solid on the ground
from Jeremiah Love.

Speaker 3 (34:45):
There really isn't a really nice spin cycle run early
on early on Touchdow.

Speaker 1 (34:50):
There really is not a whole lot to look at it,
at least on the Notre Dame side and feel pessimistic about.
I mean, they dominated pit in this game. They've got
games against Syracuse and Stanford to close out the year,
and I understand there's going to be a whole conversation
now where they rank, where they should rank relative to

(35:10):
the field, and the playoff conversation. We should probably just
wait until Tuesday night, or at least Monday on our
show to talk through that in a little bit more detail.
We don't have to drone on about it now, but
Notre Dame will be there, probably in the top ten
in some way, shape or form. This is not the
type of performance that they should be knocked for because
it was a ranked pit team. It's still a pit

(35:31):
team that has a lot to play for and I
think has some interesting matchups here with the teams remaining
on their schedule. So Notre Dame acquitted itself well, they
were dominant. This is what you want to see if
you're a Notre Dame fan, if you're somebody who is
curious about Notre Dame, perhaps where they rank amid that
like this chaotic playoff field is what I would say

(35:53):
at this point, Sure Notre Dame did what it needed
to do.

Speaker 3 (35:57):
The pit thing is.

Speaker 1 (35:58):
Kind of kind of at for conversation, but on at
least on the Notre Dame side, you could not have
asked for a better performance on the road.

Speaker 4 (36:06):
Two points, aid on Schuler, that's the Don Shuler, excuse me.

Speaker 3 (36:12):
Real good player, seems very good.

Speaker 1 (36:15):
Had that pick six early, had an incredible return of
a two point conversion, yes like five yards zep in
the end, zone, used, his blockers, used his convoy, danced around,
did an incredible job running it back all the way
the length of the field and then some for two points.

Speaker 4 (36:35):
Yes, so yeah, this is the Notre Dame secondary was
looked at as a weakness as a unit. Obviously there
are talented players there. Early on in the season when
they were struggling against you know, Miami and Texas A
and m it seems like there's been some scheme shifts
and guys have gotten healthier, they've come to play, and
there has been the you know, the the absence was
felt earlier of Xavier Wats, who was really a really

(36:57):
good box safety, and it's seems like they have picked
things up very nicely. And just a quick copy of
it here. You said Pitt is ranked. Let's say Pitt
was ranked. No, okay, Pitt was ranked.

Speaker 3 (37:09):
I don't know if they're going to have a number
next to their name moving forward this season, but we'll see.
But it was it was not particularly close, very quickly.

Speaker 1 (37:19):
It's and look, there's probably not a whole lot more
to say about Notre Dame. Still could have scored more.
I mean, they definitely left some points on the board
in this.

Speaker 3 (37:27):
This one, by the way, Yeah, I said notre was
gonna rip them apart.

Speaker 1 (37:30):
They did rip them apart, and Pat and Ardoozy kind
of called it too.

Speaker 3 (37:34):
Pantn Ardoozy and I were on the same page.

Speaker 1 (37:36):
Tannerdoosey said, we can lose by one hundred, it won't
matter if we win the last two. And you know,
I mean, I guess he said the quiet part out loud.
You're not supposed to say that. You're supposed to be
pissing vinegar out there and get the troops fired up.
But if they win against Georgia Tech and Miami to
close out the year, they have a really good shot
of getting to the ACC title game. It's not ironclad.

(37:58):
It's going to be like down to the sick tiebreaker
in the ACC to determine who is playing home. But
if you beat those two teams, if your pit, you
stand a pretty good chance to make it through into
that ACC title game. And I actually think they match
up pretty well with the teams that are remaining on
their schedule. I could talk I could talk through why

(38:20):
when we do our previews in the coming.

Speaker 4 (38:22):
Weeks based only on today's action, two very different defenses.

Speaker 3 (38:27):
Yes, on the pit schedule.

Speaker 4 (38:29):
Moving forward, in that Georgia Tech may not have one,
and in that Miami's looked awfully, awfully good.

Speaker 1 (38:35):
Today, Virginia beat Duke thirty four to seventeen in a
very very pivotal acc matchup. I thought Manny Diaz said
it best in the postgame quote. We were thoroughly outclassed
by Virginia. I think their quarterback was outstanding and in

(38:56):
terrific control. He is talking about Chandler Morris. Chandler Morris
got hurt in UVa's last game. Chaylor Morris was upgraded
to probably late in the week after we recorded our preview,
Chaylor Morris played and looked awesome. He looked great in
this game. I felt like this was about as good
as we have seen Uva look all year.

Speaker 3 (39:18):
Agreed, like we're used to them.

Speaker 1 (39:20):
Eking out wins this season. They crushed Duke in this game.
And like we knew Duke was something of a liability
on defense, I think we we panned that to various extents.
Duke was favored in this game, so we weren't the
only ones, but the numbers here were ridiculous. It was

(39:43):
a really balanced effort from the Who's five hundred and
forty total yards, three sixteen through the air, two twenty
four on the ground, twelve of nineteen on third downs.
They had eleven more minutes of possession. By nearly every measure,
dan Uva won this one going away. This is a
really nice showing for Tony Elliott.

Speaker 4 (40:03):
Yes, and a really nice showing all things considered, given
Chandler Morris's injury, given the fact that Virginia isn't led
by their offense. They've been led by winning those big
moments late and a vastly improved defenses with some new
faces getting key stops, and against a duke offense that
has shown out win and lose, win or lose, win

(40:25):
and lose whatever, Virginia really stepped up on that side
of the ball. They haven't this season had a ton
of playmakers on offense, but defensively has been where they've
made their you know where they've made hay and it
was especially nice given what's at stake in the ACC.
I think it was Tarl Harris who stepped up on
the outside for Virginia on offense like that, they are

(40:47):
winning in a more complete way I think bodes well
for whatever their ceiling may be this year.

Speaker 1 (40:54):
If you are UVA, you're in terrific shape now for
the ACC title game. I mean, and if you had
talked about UVA being in the ACC Championship at the
beginning of the season or when we did our previews
at the end of July, I mean, we would call
to each other crazy if anyone made that prediction.

Speaker 4 (41:12):
But again, one of the easiest, if not the it
was them in North Carolina schedule wise, but even still, yeah,
I don't think there was any way to foresee the
kind of impact that Chandler Morris.

Speaker 1 (41:24):
I mean, they were active in the portal, They were
active about trying to improve some of those aspects of
the roster that they thought needed help. Chandler Morris, though,
has been a revelation and they now are on the
precipice of beating Virginia Tech to close out the season.

(41:44):
It is not again a slam dunk that they would
get into that game. If Pitt loses, they think to
both Georgia Tech and Miami and SMU wins out, then
we could be looking at a weird tiebreaker scenario where
it's like SMU or UVA. Again, I'm not going to
talk through all those things here, But UVA is in
a really good spot right now to get to that

(42:05):
championship game, and if they could pull off a win
once they get there, get back or get to the
playoffs for the first time obviously in school history. So
the other thing that I would add is that this
win is very good news for the ACC because if
Duke would have won, it would have opened up that
possibility that an unranked ACC champion could be left out entirely,

(42:30):
and it's obviously still possible, but it looks increasingly less
likely that that scenario could come to fruition.

Speaker 4 (42:37):
So oh yeah, well, especially look if Virginia goes eleven
and two and wins the conference. You're talking about a
Virginia team that through a game losing interception in the
end zone to NC State in a four point loss,
so not an embarrassing loss. NC State is pretty average
this season, but they didn't lose by twenty seven points,

(42:58):
and they lost to Wake Forest a low scoring game
in which their quarterback was hurt almost immediately, So their
resume is going to be fine. If they finish eleven
into winning the ACC, they will be in the top
twenty five and it will be fine. They'll be in
the top twenty.

Speaker 3 (43:12):
Likely number seventeen.

Speaker 1 (43:15):
USC twenty six knocks off twenty one Iowa. Yeah, twenty
six twenty one is your final score. This one did
not start off great for the Trojans, No.

Speaker 5 (43:28):
But.

Speaker 1 (43:30):
Lincoln Riley man come back win over a tough, physical
Iowa team in weather. It keeps them in the conversation,
you know, all the right kinds of conversations. They got
a monster game next week against your Oregon Ducks and
Eugene I talked through on a couple of our episodes
last week about you know, just some like not so

(43:53):
far fetched possibilities for USC for the remainder of the season.
I thought this is a really nice win for them,
and probably one that won't get the headlines. But I
thought the way that they fought back, the way that
they came to play, the way that they were able
to run their offense against a really good defense like

(44:15):
Iowa was in a monsoon in like heavy rain. Yeah,
I mean, like I'm sort of like tripping over my
words here because it's late, and I apologize, but like,
I just thought their ability to play their game through
the air to feed Makay Lemon and Jacoby Lane. When
Iowa knew that they were going to feed both those guys,

(44:36):
I just thought that was really impressive, Like they ran
effectively enough to offer a little bit of variety, but
everyone knew, like it was kind of telegraphed that those
are the guys, at least through the air that they
want to do trying to tack them with. And Kyle
Lemon had ten catches, Jacobe Lane had seven catches. They
both had really good games. They were able to do
this against a really tough defense that knew essentially it

(44:58):
was coming. And I don't know, I thought this wind
showed a lot of grit in a way that like
we have not necessarily seen from the Lincoln Riley era
USC Trojans.

Speaker 3 (45:09):
Yeah, there was some turnover.

Speaker 4 (45:12):
I say luck, I don't mean you're lucky to recover
a fumble, but fumbles in general. There was a kind
of a wild interception that was off of an caramd
off of an Iowa player.

Speaker 1 (45:22):
So he's down on the grounds, he's down on the ground.
It was a low Throwkay, It wasn't even a bad throat.
It was just a low throw because it had to
me the ball bounces off the guy's hands up and
into the hands of a USC defender.

Speaker 4 (45:36):
A defensive lineman. Yeah. I came away impressed as well
about certain aspects of USC that I just I think
it happens very smart to find mackay Lemon as often
as you possibly can. They ran fine, there were tough yards,
it was bad weather, it's a good defense. You're right
about all of those things. It was also Jacoby Lane,

(45:57):
excuse me, the tight ends to a lesser extent. I
thought Jade Mayava was largely good, though a little bit off.
But it's the weather thing too. That's understandable. Like you
can say that, you know. They looked a little bit
a rhythmic. I thought along the trenches they weren't great.

Speaker 3 (46:13):
I thought the.

Speaker 4 (46:13):
Offensive line got pushed around a little bit too much
in the run game, especially in short yardage early. Yeah,
And I thought, just I don't know, there was something
about Iowa sort of especially in that first half, dominating
things in the trenches that it's still a successful season
for USC no matter what happens. It seems, but I

(46:36):
don't know. We're into like year four of Lincoln Riley
and this is still happening. I thought Iowa's second half
game plan was a little bit wonky, but you also
have a passing game that doesn't really exist, so you're limited.

Speaker 3 (46:47):
Iowa had the moment late. I don't know if you
have an opinion of it.

Speaker 4 (46:50):
It was Caden Weechin along, you know, trying to tiptoe
a catch in that would have changed the complexion of
this game, you know, pull in a longer catch in traffic.
And it was reviewed and Iowa fans are up in
arms that his toe tapped in and.

Speaker 3 (47:05):
USC, you know, I didn't think his toe got in.

Speaker 4 (47:10):
I think it sort of appeared to be in in
one frame, but then as you watch, like his foot
more fully land his toe hit the sideline. But if
you need that, that's not great. I always penalize a
little bit more than they were against Oregon. I thought
it was a really nice win for USC, all in
to beat a team like Iowa in the weather circumstance

(47:32):
that it was really nice win. Next week's game should
be enormous in Eugene.

Speaker 1 (47:35):
Next week's game is going to be enormous, and again
USC winning out, combined with Michigan beating Ohio State would
put USC in the Big title game, sure, which is
again I you know, I know this is kind of
being pedaling a little too much in the world of

(47:56):
the hypothetical, but I think it is at least worth
up because Big Ten has so many damn teams, and
I think we're used to the teams at the top,
were used to the teams with controversy, but USC, despite
the fact that they're always kind of in the limelight
to an extent, has phone a bit under the radar
with respect to that Big Ten conversation. And this was

(48:19):
a really nice win over a good team at home
weird weather, but I thought this really showed me something
on the USC side. It wasn't perfect, but for sure,
the fact that they got this win, that Lincoln Riley
got this win, I mean, it seemed like they were
pretty emotional in the sidelines. They just meant a lot
to them, and I think it should. I was really impressed.

Speaker 4 (48:40):
Down maybe their best offensive lineman in Elijah Page, left
tackle down Kamari Ramsey, their best maybe their best defensive
player overall. Hopefully they can get those guys back for
this stretch run against Oregon and UCLA. But they're a
beat up team. They lost a They've they've been losing
a bunch of dudes, so their depth will be tested.

Speaker 1 (48:59):
I want to talk about the Big twelve next, but
while we're here, we should at least do the speed
run of the Big Ten, because there were a bunch
of other Big Ten games that I think weren't mentioning.
We had a thirty eight point win for Ohio State
over Ucla. We had I this is quick math, I
what is this twenty nine point win for your Oregon
Ducks over Minnesota on Friday night?

Speaker 4 (49:21):
Very sharp, They looked very, very good. There was a
complete performance. They pressured Drake Lindsay and the Minnesota offense
who was not able to do anything. Dante more was
very good. Kenyon City came back and was excellent. It
was a complete performance from the jump. Did I see
that soda?

Speaker 1 (49:38):
Dante Moor was like eighteen of twenty.

Speaker 3 (49:40):
No, he was twenty seven of thirty. Is how we've finished?
Twenty seven of thirty? Okay, twenty seven of thirty.

Speaker 4 (49:47):
A bunch of guys ran, you know, their averaging eight
nine yards of carry. They rotated a bunch of guys
on defense, and it just was not that competitive a game.
So Oregon really showed out nicely. Short week after that
emotional win against Iowa, which has been the sort of
calling card of Oregon. They don't lose the games that.

Speaker 3 (50:07):
They really should win.

Speaker 1 (50:09):
Indiana did beat Wisconsin. It was a sloppy start to
this game. They led ten to seven at halftime, but
then they get it together in the second half. They
outscore Wisconsin twenty one zip the rest of the way.
Fernando Mendoza had more touchdowns than incompletions. He was twenty
two of twenty four. We had four touchdowns. You know,

(50:33):
we've seen this a couple of times from Indiana. Now
where's it takes me a little bit to get going,
but once they get going, they're pretty damn good. Obviously,
thirty one to seven was your final there.

Speaker 4 (50:43):
Yeah, strong thoughts, happy thoughts, healing thoughts to Gideon Atuka,
the Wisconsin running back who went down in this game.

Speaker 3 (50:51):
They were running the ball pretty well.

Speaker 4 (50:52):
They were sort of, you know, toughing out a lot
of difficult yards against Indiana, and it was I think
it was Charlie Becker who who helped open things up
for Indiana, who has stepped in in place of Elijah
Surratt in the receiving corps for Nando Mendoza. Yeah, you're right,
took a little while to get going, but once he
did was nails.

Speaker 1 (51:10):

over Michigan State. A really nice day for Khron Allen.
Illinois knocked off Maryland twenty four to six and Michigan
survived in Wrigley Field, Dan twenty four to twenty two
was your final score. They needed a thirty one yard
field goal as time expired from Dominic Savada, their All

(51:35):
American kicker. Speaking of Jose Masa's, Northwestern kind of pulled
a Jose Mason and this one, didn't They.

Speaker 3 (51:43):
They did, They absolutely did.

Speaker 5 (51:44):
So.

Speaker 4 (51:44):
They had multiple opportunities to close us out in the
fourth quarter in Wrigley Field, taking advantage of turnovers from
Michigan and miscues from Michigan over the course of this game.
You mentioned the kicker. Not a good game for Dominic Svada, right,
He missed a couple one long, one, one shorter, one
nailed the one at the end to win this one.
But Northwestern was in position to close out a huge win.

(52:08):
They I think they had the misfortune of generating converting
whatever the word is five turnovers and giving up, coughing
up zero and still losing. So winning the turnover battle
five love time five nil, which is I guess what
the Chargers did when they choked away the playoff game

(52:30):
against the Jaguars a couple of years ago. Oh God,
extremely difficult to do, extremely difficult to win the turnover
battle five nothing and lose, And so I guess congratulations
on that, Northwestern.

Speaker 3 (52:44):
I don't know.

Speaker 4 (52:44):
That was a very winnable game for the Cats, and
good for Michigan for surviving. Andrew Marsh was terrific freshman
receiver for Michigan. Looks like they have a true number
one receiver moving forward for these least in these next
couple of years, which is great news for Bryce Underwood
in this offense.

Speaker 3 (53:00):
But uh, got to get a lot of this cleaned
up pretty quickly.

Speaker 1 (53:04):
Yeah, you mentioned Andrew Marsh. Twelve catches for one eighty nine.
Really nice day. All right, let's get over to the
big twelve. We waited too long. So BYU is still
up pretty significantly on TCU at time of recording. I
think we can assume that BYUS unless they pull a
Jose Mesa as they drive here for another score. I

(53:24):
think we can assume that BYU is going to emerge
victorious in this one and probably slide up a notch
on the new batch of college football playoff rankings when
they drop. In the early part of the week, Texas
Tech ran one up on UCF. That was a dominant
showing forty eight to nine. Utah very dominant in knocking

(53:45):
off Baylor. They ran for three hundred and eighty yards
dan in a fifty five to twenty eight win. Arizona
goes on the road and knocks off Cincinnati thirty to
twenty four. A really nice showing for Arizona. I am
proud Arizona for the showing that they put in here.
We had k State winning by eight over Oklahoma State,

(54:06):
and we had Arizona State hanging on to win by
a twenty five to twenty three score over West Virginia.

Speaker 4 (54:13):
Yes, West Virginia moved the ball quite nicely through the
air and absolutely made that a game. Coming back to
make it a game. Didn't watch any of Kansas State
Oklahoma State. You'll forgive me because Mike Gundy has built
two teams.

Speaker 3 (54:28):
I texted this to you earlier.

Speaker 4 (54:29):
He's going to finish out his career essentially have with
his legacy at Oklahoma State.

Speaker 3 (54:33):
Obviously he's gone.

Speaker 4 (54:34):
Building two zero to nine teams in the Big twelve.
Woolf really nice win for Arizona again, a really nice
defensive performance, not always on the ground, but getting a
lot of stops. I think Cincinnati was terrible on third downs.
Watched this one on and off, came away just super
impressed with how complete a performance it was for Arizona,

(54:57):
who coupled with their schedule which includes an Arizona State
team down Sam Levitt that's had a disappointing defense this season.
Arizona has an opportunity with Baylor next week at home
Arizona State on the road obviously in the Territorial Cup
to go nine and three after last season and year
two of Brent Brennan, which is pretty incredible because they

(55:17):
already appear to be the better team in that state,
which I never would It's wild.

Speaker 3 (55:23):
It's wild reality.

Speaker 1 (55:24):
And like the thing that you mentioned the defense, I
mean that it was a great defensive showing their defense
has been really good. They're really good against the pass.
But one of the things that I think we talked
about was that this was like kind of a perfect
letdown spot for them after they lost to Kansas last week.
But no, they beat Kansas after excuse me, after they

(55:45):
beat Kansas. It was a chaotic win, yeah, after the
Catoch win, right, but since he was the one who
looked like they were in a look ahead spot with
BYU on deck next week, they threw an interception on
the first play in the game, like they they sort
of got off on the wrong foot here, and you know,
through the course of this one, it was the combination

(56:06):
of the Arizona defense and the Arizona off Like Noah
Fafida had a really solid game, It ran really well.
This was a big time win for these guys, and
if you think of it more broadly, they're like an
overtime loss, their last second field goal away from both

(56:26):
BYU and Houston maybe being like eight and one. So
this has been a really good campaign for Brent Brennan.
He deserves a lot of credit for the way that
he has guided this team, especially after the way it
went last season.

Speaker 4 (56:39):
By the way we'll say this, the Baylor game wasn't
like a flash fry. This was a one score game
in the third quarter and then Utah just sort of
went up another gear. They flipped on the nas and
it was all on the ground. Baylor couldn't stop anything,
but say robertson this offense, they had drives, they made plays,
they were somewhat balanced, and then Utah just yeah, another

(57:00):
gear and so Utah's gonna need help.

Speaker 3 (57:03):
Though.

Speaker 4 (57:04):
Utah's gonna need help for some sort of like big
postseason aspiration given.

Speaker 3 (57:08):
Where they are on the Big Twelve right now.

Speaker 1 (57:10):
Yeah, I mean, there are a whole slew of possibilities
in the Big Twelve. And I did my best here
kind of on short notice.

Speaker 3 (57:18):
To try short because it's impossible.

Speaker 1 (57:21):
Yeah, I did my best to try and piece together
what some of the possibilities might look like in the
Big Twelve. We would need like hours on hours to
try and go through all of these things because there
are just too many possibilities. I do think we've kind
of narrowed the field down to like four maybe five
teams that in theory could have a potential case to

(57:42):
get into that Big twelve championship game. But it's still very,
very muddled, and it will be fascinating to follow for
sure over these next few weeks.

Speaker 4 (57:54):
Do you want to round out the sec A couple
other big matchups, just sort of in terms of intrigue.
Ole Miss had just an eventual impressive win over Florida.
But this was back and forth in the first half
and into the fourth quarter.

Speaker 3 (58:09):
Was a game.

Speaker 4 (58:10):
And I don't know whatever the opposite of Jose Mesa
is in your closers world.

Speaker 3 (58:15):
Yeah, I don't know who that. If it's a mo
rivera Marianna River.

Speaker 4 (58:19):
Yeah, you'd have to exclude the postseason in a couple
of seasons for the Yankees, of course, But take your pick.
Close this game quite impressively. Trinidad Chambliss made a ton
of plays, both of his legs. Kewan Lacy goes for
over two hundred yards in this game. They eventually figured,
let's just go straight at.

Speaker 3 (58:39):
Florida on the ground.

Speaker 4 (58:40):
This is an exhausted team, and Florida sort of threw
everything they could in the first half literally and figuratively,
and it looked like it was gonna go back and
forth for four quarters.

Speaker 3 (58:48):
It very much did not.

Speaker 4 (58:49):
The ole Miss defense tightened up super impressively in the
second half, made a ton of plays a semi malign
defense this season given ole missus hopes, and came away
with a really nice win against Florida in a what
seemed like it could be like a weird Losable Lane
Kiffin loses a fifty three to forty eight shootout type game.

Speaker 3 (59:09):
Yeah, they definitely did not. Did I see that.

Speaker 1 (59:17):
A Mott Hardy ran for three hundred yards?

Speaker 4 (59:19):
He did run for three hundred yards. We correctly pointed
out that the missoo running back room might need extra
oxygen for all of the exercise they're going to get
against the Mississippi State front.

Speaker 3 (59:30):
We were correct.

Speaker 1 (59:32):
Three hundred yards. That's wild.

Speaker 4 (59:34):
Yeah, Matt Zohler's had, you know, took a nice step forward.
I would say, you know, we'll see what he's able
to do. He has what Oklahoma next week? Boprabula was
out on the field. He was warming up, he was
going through some some motion stuff like we'll see but
if and when or whatever happens with his future this

(59:54):
season and getting back on the field. But yeah, weh
I throw it when you have a mon Hardy what
he was doing?

Speaker 1 (01:00:01):
All right? So LSU won Tennessee one, Kentucky one.

Speaker 4 (01:00:05):
Not pretty for LSU. Arkansas made some mistakes. Arkansas was
right there had opportunities. LS You want a game that
counts that something counts for something. Yeah, Yeah, okay.

Speaker 3 (01:00:19):
Elsewhere.

Speaker 1 (01:00:20):
The only other conference that I think we need to
round out here is some of the other stuff that
went down in the ACC. Yeah, and we had Georgia
Tech needing a twenty three yard field goal with eleven
seconds left man to beat Boston College on the road.
We had a really good game, a fun game I
thought to watch on Friday night between Clemson and Louisville.

(01:00:41):
This game was I believe the first college football game
that came on after news broke that YouTube and Disney
came to their new pact and the programming became available immediately.
We're back, baby, So that was nice. But this ended

(01:01:02):
up being I just thought, a really interesting game to watch.
Twenty to nineteen. Clemson emerge victorious. Yeah, and Wake Forest
beat North Carolina, which isn't noteworthy on its own, but
I should point out that Wake now only speaking of
teams that could go nine and three. As we talked
about what areas all right, Wake just needs to be
Delaware and Duke, which seems very doable. And Jake Dickard

(01:01:25):
would go nine and three in his first season, which'd
be crazy.

Speaker 4 (01:01:29):
Which is absolutely bonkers, and with that defense, they seems
not unreasonable that they could put a lot of pressure
on Go Lopez in the North Carolina offense, which again struggled.
And it is worth mentioning because this is also a
rivalry game. It's an important enough game that they scheduled
each other even when they weren't on each other's acc schedules,
so that it's always meaningful for these teams to play

(01:01:50):
and beat one another. So I'm glad you did mention it.
Florida State beaten up on Virginia teche Good for Tommy
c good for or State.

Speaker 3 (01:02:00):
A beat up team.

Speaker 4 (01:02:01):
Deuce Robinson went off against Virginia Tech, who was in
the news, you know, starting in the early part of
the Saturday college football news cycle because apparently there are
ongoing serious talks with James Franklin.

Speaker 3 (01:02:12):
Yeah, whatever that means.

Speaker 1 (01:02:14):
Whatever that means to you in this moment, as James
Franklin may or may not be waiting to hear about
all of the jobs that may or may not become
available and figure out what he wants to do with
his life, that Virginia Tech and James Franklin apparently have
mutual interest in one another, Well, see, I know nothing
on this front, okay, but I think you'd be a

(01:02:35):
really good hire for Virginia Tech. He ended up being
the guy.

Speaker 4 (01:02:39):
Mentioned it earlier that Miami's defensive performance in Georgia Tech's
defensive performance were very different. This was like Miami firing
on all cylinders. This is also a Miami team that's
beat up, like they had. Younger guys on both sides
of the ball played pretty major roles in this one.
I think Giord Pringle started at running back for the Canes.
This was another game from the jump. Miami just fried

(01:03:01):
an NC State offense, which has been a good offense.
It has generated a ton of big plays, couldn't do
anything against Miami Miami, and it was immediate. Miami's had
had started games out kind of slowly at times, and
they just they jumped on NC State. So certainly the
kind of game you want on your resume when you

(01:03:21):
are trying to impress as many voters. Although now we're
down a voter and mac Rhodes right at Baylor or
committee member as Miami can no quite impressive. And then
what the final game to talk about in the ACC.
I guess if there's any other thoughts stray thoughts about
Georgia Tech Boston College.

Speaker 1 (01:03:41):
I mean, when they gave up over five hundred yards again,
I think it's the thing on the on the Georgia
Tech side. I mean, the defense has been a problem
now for just more specifically these last two weeks, given
up for five hundred yards. And it'll be interesting to

(01:04:02):
see what this game looks like next week against Pitt.
The game is at home, but you know, pick and
move the ball, pick and throw, and I don't think
that's great for Georgia TECHCA. It doesn't seem like they're
able to stop much of anything right now. And I
would say, secondly, Pitt, even though they gave up a

(01:04:23):
long run and they gave up some of yours, Jeremiah Love,
this is a defense that bil Art is pretty good
at stopping the run. And I think the combination of
those two factors make them a really interesting pairing for
Georgia Tech. You know, we've seen Georgia Tech in a
few of these games now where they're maybe closer than
you would expect. I think Georgia Tech is gettable. I

(01:04:43):
think you probably already know where I'm gonna go with
my pick this week. But I need to look a
little bit more at it before I make it official.
But I just I think it's a bad matchup for
Georgia Tech this week, given the way that they're playing
defense right now.

Speaker 4 (01:04:54):
In four of their last six ACC games, Boston College
scored seven to ten thirteen points. Okay, this is not
a prolific offense. They score thirty four against Georgia Tech.
Georgia Tech, their defense actually look like, you know, through
six seven eight games, like a top fifty ish sixty

(01:05:15):
ish type defense. And maybe they's just a product of
their schedule. Probably almost certainly is one of the better
improvement stories. Bottom has completely fallen out. And good for
Tech for winning. It was a really nice The final
game winning drive for them was, as expected, obviously a
huge dose of Haines king on the ground and through
the air.

Speaker 3 (01:05:34):
I don't know how you get.

Speaker 4 (01:05:35):
This fixed, you know, two weeks before Georgia. But they're
they're gonna have to win these games forty five to
forty unless they do.

Speaker 3 (01:05:42):
So here's what we're gonna do.

Speaker 1 (01:05:44):
We're gonna play your week twelve reverbs right now. We're
gonna talk through some of our group of five scenarios.
That we've outlined here, and then we're gonna close this
thing out with doing some doodle words.

Speaker 3 (01:05:55):
All right, love that.

Speaker 1 (01:05:57):
Here are your week twelve reverbs, a little bit shorter,
but definitely more impactful in week twelve than we're used
to shake. Cut these together. Let's have a listen. If
you didn't watch ECU Memphis, then you're doing college football.

Speaker 7 (01:06:09):
Run led with it, Okay, Dan inside is Tommy Coleman
from Virginia.

Speaker 6 (01:06:15):
My name is Curtis.

Speaker 5 (01:06:16):
I'm calling from Lincoln.

Speaker 6 (01:06:17):
To say it's Royce from Philadelphia.

Speaker 5 (01:06:19):
I think just with call them your missus today, it's
pretty clear that this is actually sphincter typing Saturday. Thanks.

Speaker 3 (01:06:25):
Sometimes you just have to winner.

Speaker 5 (01:06:32):
Mike Elko is a level twenty warlock.

Speaker 1 (01:06:35):
I'm just so thankful he's on our side.

Speaker 6 (01:06:38):
Gigle, Maggie's Notre Dame in Oregon. Keep winning, and everyone
has their sight set on soolids your bull Saturday. But
are we overlooking the very real possibility of friendship Friday?

Speaker 7 (01:06:50):
The ugliest pieces furniture, I mean, trophy stays in state College.

Speaker 5 (01:06:56):
We are so back.

Speaker 7 (01:07:00):
Wow, Love Bummer in Tuscaloosa, Dan Tye, This the sooner
point in Maryland. I know that Caitlin to Boor wore
the black hoodie of death, but did we just see
Brent Naples introduced at the Black Polo of death?

Speaker 6 (01:07:13):
Bloomer sooner?

Speaker 5 (01:07:14):
I think after three big games this year involving duke football,
I think we need our money back or a recent
of some kind.

Speaker 6 (01:07:21):
I know, I'm surprised as you are the Virginia played
a football game that was not decided by one score.
By the way, thanks for picking duke guys.

Speaker 3 (01:07:28):
Does the Big ten have a packed twelve problem?

Speaker 5 (01:07:31):
Hi? This is Steve and a Lama Georgia calling about
eleven Indiana smoke.

Speaker 6 (01:07:35):
We got them. Coach fitwins again.

Speaker 1 (01:07:37):
We beat some Hokies whatever that is, and now all
we have to do is conquer some wolves next week
and we get to go bowling.

Speaker 6 (01:07:45):
Who to sunket?

Speaker 5 (01:07:46):
Watching Texas versus Georgia is a lot like watching a
PGA tour broadcast where the announcer is trying to argue
over which player has a better short cutting game. As
a Texas fan, the on sidekick is going to live
Rent straight in my head for an entire week.

Speaker 2 (01:08:06):
I am a cow fan who also became an Acron
fan through playing as them on NCAA. I have now
had the misfortune of watching Ben Finley play quarterback.

Speaker 5 (01:08:14):
For two of my teams.

Speaker 2 (01:08:16):
At least this time he's not getting reps over Fernando Mendoza.

Speaker 5 (01:08:20):
Please fire Joe Morehead.

Speaker 2 (01:08:28):
Hey guys, I'm calling to report that they're riding in
the streets of Cambridge, Massachusetts as the Harvard Crimpson.

Speaker 1 (01:08:33):
March down the field in the final twenty two seconds
to beat ten on.

Speaker 3 (01:08:38):
A fifty three yard field goal and Clinton Ivy League championship.

Speaker 1 (01:08:43):
From way down town bag Dan fifty three yards for
the win for hot That's.

Speaker 4 (01:08:48):
Pretty good, pretty good. So that sets up Harvard Yale, Right, Harvard,
the biggest of them all in the IVY.

Speaker 1 (01:08:55):
It's it's huge. Yeah, all right, cool.

Speaker 3 (01:08:58):
I saw it didn't last Also win thirty twenty eight.
They are easy.

Speaker 1 (01:09:06):
They are setting up there, maybe a little bit of
a look ahead spot for the laps sure being so,
they host Leehigh and the big rivalry next week. Lehigh
won by twenty I believe, twenty seven to twenty. We'll
see big game coming up this week.

Speaker 5 (01:09:20):
All right?

Speaker 3 (01:09:20):
Was that close? I thought Lehigh won more comfortably like
twenty seven to seven or something.

Speaker 1 (01:09:24):
What did I say, twenty seven to twenty, No, twenty
seven to seven. They won by twenty as well. There
it is, all right, So let's close it out with this.
We'll do dood alerts. We'll let the fine people go
the G six playoff spot. I think the race for
this is going to be fascinating.

Speaker 3 (01:09:39):
Okay, I'm with you.

Speaker 1 (01:09:41):
Here is what went down just among the contending teams
were what I think are the contending teams in the
G six. Al right, over in the American we had
Navy knockoff USF forty one to thirty eight.

Speaker 4 (01:09:54):
Huge, by the way, they huge win. Blake Horvap goes
down in the second half. They don't miss a beat
on offense. They take it to USF did a great
job East Carolina.

Speaker 1 (01:10:05):
The Pirates take down Memphis. Now they were favored by three. Yeah,
three and a half depends where you look. They end
up winning thirty one to twenty seven. So they win.
They cover. They're an interesting case.

Speaker 4 (01:10:16):
Yeah, and Memphis had the ball at the end with
not that much time to drive the field and go
for the win. ACU got that stop.

Speaker 1 (01:10:24):
Tulane beat FAU, no big surprise, there thirty five twenty
four yep, and North Texas ran one up on UAB
by a fifty three to twenty four margin. Of course,
they're not the nice screen tie. No, of course, not
the other game of note here on the G six
level James Madison fifty eight to ten over app State,

(01:10:47):
clearly aware that style points may matter for them given
their current circumstances. All right, Yes, we are almost guaranteed
a three or four tie between some combination of ECU, Navy,
North Texas, and Tulane in the American at this point.

Speaker 3 (01:11:09):
Okay, I have not had.

Speaker 1 (01:11:11):
Time to work through all of the scenarios yet, but
I do believe that math favors ECU if they win
out over both UTSA and FAU, which seems doable. I
don't know if there's a little bit of a letdown
effect after this big win over Memphis, But should the
Pirates go on and win their remaining games, they're in
a really, really good spot to get to that American championship.

Speaker 3 (01:11:34):
Yep.

Speaker 1 (01:11:34):
The issue for the American is that they're all beating
each other, all right. They're pulling a real old like
Big twelve right now, where they're potentially cannibalizing their own
chances of getting to the playoff. South Florida was ranked
twenty fourth last week. Obviously that's gonna change now. James

(01:11:56):
Madison was ranked by both the AP and the coaches pulls,
but not by the committee. I suspect that will also change.
So where do things stand right now? I think when
we get our latest batch of rankings on Tuesday night,
James Madison is going to be ranked. There are going
to be a collection of American teams that are in
the others receiving votes category, And depending on how this

(01:12:19):
thing shakes out the last couple weeks of the season,
it is going to be a true dogfight to see
which one of those conferences and or the conference representative
ends up getting ranked a little bit higher, and that
will be the team that eventually gets that final bid
and probably ends up being the twelve seed play and
whoever the five is right. So there's a lot, I

(01:12:39):
think to play for and a lot to watch for.
I think you said it on one of the episodes
you did a week ago, but like this is low
key maybe the most interesting part of the playoff. Obviously,
we're going to have some teams in the top ten
that end up losing down the stretch, and that will
make the conversation more interesting, but sort of on like
the fringes of that conversation. Really, the race to be

(01:13:00):
twelve is going to be fascinating, especially as these teams
all play against each other conference championship games. We know
we're going to see some upsets. I am very plugged
into what's going on here. Again, I have not had
a chance to go through all the scenarios, but I'm
going to do my part to have as many of
those at the ready for when we do our next
one on Tuesday.

Speaker 3 (01:13:21):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:13:21):
I think everybody just needs to fall in line and
everybody needs to lose to North Texas. Yeah, that's the
easiest path here because they have I think they have
two easy ish games remaining. They do, so their path
to the championship game is I think relatively clear.

Speaker 1 (01:13:36):
Yes, well it is and it isn't because once we
start talking about four way ties, we start looking at
things like getting to like the fifth tiebreaker in some cases,
which involves computer rankings that I do not have access to.

Speaker 4 (01:13:51):
But North Texas the only tie breaker they don't have
is in this moment over South Florida who has two losses. Right,
that's correc Their path to the championship game is clean.

Speaker 3 (01:14:01):
Their path LEA is relatively clean.

Speaker 1 (01:14:03):
I mean, they beat you a B this week, They've
got Rice on the road, and then they're home against Temple.
So I think if you look at all of the projection,
like all the projected winners right now, let's put it
that way, North Texas would be in there against ECU, right.

Speaker 4 (01:14:19):
Because ECU has UTSA, which will be tough. FAU not
as tough, but those are both on the road. Should
also mention JMU because they're in this conversation has like
a weirdly not difficult non conference. They lose to Louisville,
but they have Wazoo left as a resume piece. I
guess the only real resume piece for JMU at this

(01:14:40):
point is that they beat Old Dominion earlier on in
the season. But yeah, this will be a fascinating end
and of course as well to Navy has Memphis left
in terms of a resume building National wine.

Speaker 1 (01:14:54):
So intent it's going to come down to the wire.
It's going to be a bunch of teams vying for
one spot. And you know, there again before Duke loss,
there was at least a possibility that two of these
conference champs could get in if the ACC champ was
not going to be ranked. But I there's still a
possibility for that. I think those odds have diminished greatly. Yeah,

(01:15:17):
given the fact that Duke lost and uh, we're gonna
have a bunch of teams vying for that one spot. Yep,
be pretty cozy, it'd be great, pretty crazy. Let's do
doodle words you ready plays?

Speaker 3 (01:15:30):
Who are our dudes for a week twelve?

Speaker 6 (01:15:32):
Dan?

Speaker 4 (01:15:32):
I have Andrew marsh Trell Harris, Jacoby Thomas for Miami.
I have the Bowen Brothers and Tate Sandel for Oklahoma,
kenyons Kenyon Kenyon Sandy Kenyon Sadiq for Oregon, Gunner Stockton
uh for Georgia. A lot of quarterbacks in a losing
effort this week had big games. I mean, like the

(01:15:53):
picks from guys like Marcel Reid and Sawyer Roberts didn't
work great, but they threw for a ton of yardage.
How do you not include a mad hardy in this list?
Haines King had a crazy, you know, kind of had
to do it all himself efforts given what they needed
to beat Boston College.

Speaker 3 (01:16:09):
How about k Tron Allen.

Speaker 4 (01:16:11):
Yeah, I'm gonna say he's a dude just because of
this season being as disappointing as it's been for Penn State,
and he keeps just piling up the yardage and trying
his best to end dudes lineages. So good for k
Tron Allen has been a dude, continues to be a dude.
How about oh God, I had his name here, Casey Concepts.

(01:16:31):
I had another nice game for TeX's A and m
makhay Lemon. I mentioned Reed Harris for Boston College in
a losing effort goes for one hundred and forty two yards.

Speaker 3 (01:16:42):

Speaker 4 (01:16:42):
A bunch of really good dudes mentioned Kewan Lacy for
ole Miss Pace that win for Lane Kiffin and Ole
Miss against Florida. A lot of really nice performances this week.

Speaker 1 (01:16:52):
And I want to nominate Jacob Rodriguez, who oh Man
got his first offensive touchdown for the second consecutive week,
struck the Eisman pose to the rock. Yeah, they put
him in as like the wildcat quarterback high school quarterback,
as it seems all these guys are high school quarterbacks.
Doesn't matter how big or small they are, they're that
good at being out there that they're all their high

(01:17:14):
school quarterback. And yeah, they said that they repped some
of these like wildcat formations in practice this week. As
it got a little bit closer, they started like fine
tune what the play looked like. And I saw some
commentary from him after the game that yeah, he's standing
on the sidelines and the coaches are saying, hey, man,
be ready, be ready, be ready, gets the rock, has

(01:17:37):
an opportunity to score down on the goal line and
gets it. So good for him.

Speaker 4 (01:17:41):
Kind of love that this year's defensive players getting in
on offense to get red zone looks are Texas techs
and America's best linebacker one of the best three line
you know, he's obviously buckets level. And Caden Proctor left
cat for Alabama, the two notable alt ball.

Speaker 3 (01:18:03):
Carriers in the red zone this year. Of note, that's all.
I'm sure I'm missing some Why don't we leave it
there for baller hood.

Speaker 1 (01:18:10):

in Week twelve. Of course, you know the drill. We

news breaks between now and then. I suppose we could
have some We will, of course talk through overballer Top twelve,

any big previews that when we want to do as
sort of an early look ahead for week thirteen. But
coming down the stretch here, man, we've only got a
couple weeks left here in the college football regular season.
Two in the regular season, the conference championship week after that,

matchups and bowl matchups.

Speaker 4 (01:18:59):
There's the number one team the country. We didn't really

like they're just demolishing everybody, no matter who they playing.
