Lane Kiffin to LSU! Week 14 CFB Chaos & CFP Fallout

Week 14 college football is pure chaos for the College Football Playoff, and the coaching carousel is spinning just as fast – headlined by Lane Kiffin reportedly bolting the Ole Miss Football for the LSU Tigers. In this live reaction George Wrighster reacts to how the ripple effects will hit jobs, recruiting, and NIL at places like the Florida Gators, Arkansas Razorbacks, UCLA Bruins and Penn State football.

 

From there, George dives into the week 14 CFB games that will define the CFP picture and wonders if the Texas Longhorns have done enough to make the CFP: the Alabama Crimson Tide vs Auburn Tigers in the Iron Bowl, Oregon Ducks vs Washington Huskies in a Big Ten heavyweight clash, Georgia Bulldogs vs Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets, Oklahoma Sooners vs LSU Tigers, Notre Dame Fighting Irish vs Stanford, and Texas Tech Football vs West Virginia Mountaineers. He breaks down which contenders like Texas football, Notre Dame football, Utah Utes, BYU, and others vie for the final spots helped their playoff résumé, which ones choked under pressure, and how the committee is going to juggle all these results on Selection Sunday and the Big Ten, Big 12, ACC, and SEC conference championship games.

 

Throughout the live show, George ties the on-field chaos to the off-field moves: how Lane Kiffin to LSU changes the identity of the Tigers, what Alex Golesh could bring if he lands at Auburn football, why Jon Sumrall leaving the Tulane Green Wave for the Florida Gators Football would shake up recruiting in the South, and how Ryan Silverfield jumping from the Memphis Tigers to the Razorbacks would play in the SEC West. He keeps an eye on open situations with the Bruins and Nittany Lions, asking who’s bold enough to go big-game hunting and who will panic-hire the wrong name.

 

This is a fully interactive live reaction — you’ll get instant thoughts on momentum swings, controversial calls, Heisman moments, and the future of the biggest brands in the Big Ten, SEC, Big 12 and ACC. Tap in, hit the chat and answer the real questions: Which Week 14 result did the most damage to the playoff race, and which coaching move is about to blow up in a school’s face?

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:10):
College football Week fourteen has been an absolute zoo. Now.
The chaos that we predicted that would break out on
the field actually broke out off the field, and a
lot of it had to do with mister Lane Kiffin
himself and how he was handling everything over there at all. Miss.

(00:34):
So we got to talk about that. We gotta talk
about the Week fourteen games. We gotta talk about how
the College Football Committee is going to react. We got
to talk about Texas fans crying real tears and if
there is any true to the mess that they're talking
about about, Oh well, we just won't schedule tough games

(00:56):
and they're disincentivising people in this. Come on, man, we
gotta tell the truth, Notre Dame Miami. We got so
much to talk about, and you guys, make sure that
you like, subscribe, get notifications, tell a friend about the show,
and most importantly share. If you're watching on x make

(01:18):
sure you hop over there on YouTube and share with
a friend. All right, so let's get to the beginning.
Week fourteen, it was absolute chalk outside of an overrated
Texas A and M team getting beat by Texas. Outside

(01:40):
of that, it was one hundred percent chalk. Now, The
question is, though, is what does that mean? Because the
ap pole ranking showed some reflection, the ACC could be
in trouble, and there's all sorts of stuff. But where
we are going to start is with the Lane Kiffin

(02:02):
drama because this has dominated the news cycle and the
news waves for three weeks or more and there is
not a single solitary perk. This was the worst kept
secret in all of twenty twenty five that Lane Kiffen

(02:24):
was going to leave Old miss and go to LSU.
So a lot of people have been blamed for this
college football administration, the calendar, all of these things. So
we are going to break them down. So you guys
have seen a lot of people blaming the college football
calendar for the issues that have arisen with coaches and

(02:49):
everything else. Yes, there is a calendar issue, but the
calendar issue in college football, the issue is is that
it does not aligned with the academic calendar. Because remember
these players, they have to be students to be student athletes.
So you can't get kids in school when the portal

(03:13):
opens January. Second, you can't or high school early in
roll llees. They can't get into school in middle of January.
In the January. They are behind on the quarter system,
which is only ten weeks long, so then you're not
going to pass classes or on the semester system. It

(03:36):
creates a mess as well. So let's start with the
whole calendar part of it. So National Signing Day is
this week. National Signing Day is this week for high schoolers.
A lot of these kids are going to early enroll

(04:00):
to college. They are going to early enroll and play
college football, and that means that they are going to
check in, some of them around Christmas break to be
able to practice with their team, and then they're gonna
start school in January. So the question is when would

(04:22):
you put National Signing Day outside of now, because you
gotta wait till the high school season is over with
because kids are going to get new offers and all
of that, so you have to have a national signing
Day there. There is no other point to put National
Signing Day, which has existed without issue really for a

(04:46):
very long time. It used to be in February, but
then now there's two signing periods. There's no issue in
National Signing Day. The issue is to transfer portal, and
the issue is when college football is over. If you
ended college football on January first, you would eliminate so

(05:06):
many of these issues. You would. Yes, you would have
an issue with National Signing Day and coaches wanting to
leave and get their class right. You would have that issue.
But you know what you wouldn't have. You would not
have a head coach trying to leave during the middle

(05:27):
of a playoff run. Now, let's look at and examine
and tell the truth about this Lane Kiffin situation. He
has blamed everybody else for this except himself. Lane Kiffen
caused this, the administration, their athletic director Carter. He did

(05:51):
not cause this. Lane Kiffen caused this because this is
what Lane Kiffen does. He blows up good situations. He's
done it since he was with the Raiders, then with Tennessee,
then with USC and now he's doing it again at
Ole miss Well, it's the athletic director for forgiving him

(06:14):
an ultimatum. No, actually, the athletic director. His biggest crime
was not getting this resolved a week ago. And the
reason why is because he needs to because they're like, well, well,
why did he have to make a decision before the
season was over with? Because of all of those factors

(06:35):
that I mentioned high school recruiting, transfer a portal. If
you let Lane Kippen stay in your building and finish
that season, how are you going to hire a new
coach when you when you when you got step dad
over here, ex husband over here running through the building
every day, who sits in his office? How do you

(06:59):
manage that? You can't. Lane Kiffen was trying to have
his cake and eat it too, and somebody finally told
Lane Kiffin, no, no, you cannot. This is like what
happened at Michigan in college basketball, where the coach was
getting ready to leave and he said, a Michigan well

(07:19):
I want to finish out the tournament. A Michigan man
will coach Michigan. Somebody who wants to be at Old
Miss should be coaching Old Miss. And this is why
I said a long time ago that if I were
the athletic director at Old Miss, I would have told
Lane Kiffin a long time ago, look, if you don't

(07:40):
want to be here, here here's your extension. Well we
would you matter more to us than another program? And
what and by that I mean this? Think about it
this in nil terms. A kid from Eugene, Oregon, like
Bryce Betcher or justin her Herbert is worth more in

(08:02):
that community than he is in Oxford, Mississippi, because he's
part of that community. Hometown heroes are worth more. So
Lane was a hometown hero at Old Miss. Everything's working
out for him. He decides he wants to leave. Okay, cool,
but Old Miss was like, okay, we will pay you whatever.

(08:25):
Basically whatever the administration has bent over time and time again, uniforms,
the stadium, atmosphere, everything that he wanted. And it's fine.
Lane has every single right to choose to leave. That
I am not disputed. But what you don't do, you
don't get a chance to choose how the consequences show up,

(08:48):
and Old Miss drew a hard line because they have
to protect themselves. Old Miss had to do what was
best for Old Miss, just like Lane Kippen had to
do what was best for Lane Kiffen. So any fault
on the athletic director for putting a timeline on there
was making sure that he got his head coach in

(09:10):
case he needed to interview other people and all of this. So,
from what I understand from sources that I have talked to,
Old Miss Brass contacted Summer Off. They contacted Alex Golish
because up until yesterday there was belief that Lane Kiffin
may go back to Old Miss, And You're like, what

(09:34):
the why would you believe this? If he wanted to
sign an extension, he would have signed an extension. This
is the same talk I had with Washington fans last
year talking about Kaitlin de boor if Kayln de Bor
wanted to be at Washington, he would have signed a
damn extension. Lane Kiffen was always leaving, always leaving. I

(09:57):
talked to multiple coaches in college football when his family
went to Gainesville and then went to LSU. They were like,
the only time that your wife comes with you or
goes on these trips and all that stuff, you're gone.
This is coming from college football sitting college football coaches
right now. They were like, oh oh he gone, wife went,

(10:19):
kids went, Oh gone, Bro. That's the way it works.
So any idea that this is old missus fault, No
o miss did everything that they were supposed to do,
and then Lane is sitting up here, even with Marty
from from ESPN. He did it with Pat McAfee just

(10:44):
up there softballing and Lion oh Man. Listen, we wanted
everything to be fine. It takes some responsibility. Lane, you
did this. You did this if there is nobody else's
fault but him, and look at the fallout. And he absolutely,

(11:05):
in his statement had the audacity to say, oh, the kids,
they wanted me to coach. They wanted me to coach. Yeah,
there was probably a certain percentage of players who wanted
Lane Kiffin to coach, Probably a certain percentage, but a

(11:28):
lot of them. Kids are pissed. And I'm gonna put
the statement on the screen so you guys can can
see it if you guys can read it. So there's
the statement, Oh, the kids wanted me to coach. Are
you sure about that? Lane? Because I talked to multiple
people over there that ain't what I heard. This is

(11:50):
a situation where Lane Kiffin put himself and his own
wishes above what he said. And this is where I
get lost with college football coaches some sometimes and frustrated
and college football in general and the fans, because on one hand,

(12:14):
coaches will sit up here and tell kids you gotta
be all in you. We over I, there's no I
in team together connection all of this stuff, and then
turn around and do what's best for them. And not

(12:36):
we Now, granted, we all want economic stability, we all
want the geographic desirability of our family, to be happy
in a good place, all of those things. But the
issue is this, It's how Lane handled it. You look
at usf they put out a statement thinking Alex Golish,

(12:58):
who picked up and left. They put out a statement,
we wish him well, he handled this perfectly. We love
him and all of those things. We love what he's
done for our university. I wonder why. And I've heard
people say, well, George, whether it's Alex Golish, John Somemrall

(13:21):
who went to Florida, and well Golish is going to
Auburn or you know, or any of these other coaches,
what did you expect him to say, George? Well, I
didn't expect him to lie. Here is what I will
give you, the exact script of what a coach should
say to his players in these situations. The exact script

(13:47):
that he should tell is, hey, guys, and mind you,
it is different at a power for school than it
is at a G six school. But either way, when
your name's floating around and you're actually considering it, here's
what you should say to your team. Hey, guys, A no,
it is we over I. There's no I in team.

(14:12):
This is us. But here's the thing, guys, there's a
time for pay and there's a time for play. And
mind you, you should say this in the off season.
There's a time for play and there's a time for pay.
We are in playtime right now, and towards the end
of the season, there will be some pay time for
some of you, whether it's the NFL, whether it's next year,

(14:33):
some ni own money, anything like that. I need you
to buy in. I don't need you to buy in
for four years, and I need you to buy in
for this year. I need everything that you got. This year.
I'll give you everything that I got. And when it
is time for pay, we will all make the decisions

(14:54):
that are best for us individually. But if we decide
we're gonna do something together, honor your word and I'll
on her mind. That's it. You don't have to lie
to nobody. And then when your team ask you, yo,
are you leaving? Hey, guys, you know I'm here with you.

(15:18):
I'm focused on what we're doing right now. But there
is some pay time stuff that is going on. I
am having some conversations. As soon as I know anything,
I will let you guys know. You will not hear
it from the news. You will not get blindsided. You
will hear it from me. That is exactly what my

(15:39):
head coach, Mike Bellotti did at Oregon when he was
interviewing for the USC job. He told the truth. Lane
could have done this, but he chose not to. This
was week as hell. This was part for the course
for Lane Kiffin. And you guys, make sure that you
guys in the chat because you already know I will

(16:03):
get to your stuff. You already know I will get
to your stuff in the chat, and make sure you
guys share and subscribe. All right, So the college football
calendar is to blame Lane Kiffin and all of that.
But now let's get to these other head coaching jobs

(16:24):
that have been filled. So there was one that was
taken by just absolute storm and it happened quickly. Jonathan
Smith got fired at Michigan State and Pat Fitzgerald is
the new head coach at Michigan State. Now there's gonna

(16:48):
be a lot of people who are highly critical of
Jonathan Smith. I am not one of those people. And
the reason why I am not critical of this job
that Jonathan's Smith did at Michigan State is he was
not made aware of all the of all the sanctions

(17:08):
that were coming, the lawsuits, and everything that was going
on when he took the job. The AD hired him,
and the boosters weren't behind him all of that stuff.
He was set up to fail, and he failed. But
now Pat Fitzgerald comes in, really good coach Elverrett Northwestern.
I believe that he's going to have a very good

(17:31):
opportunity to have success in East Lansing, and I hope
he does. He's a he's a blue collar guy. He
will fit perfectly in that town. Now let's talk about
these other head coaches. Alex Golisch going to Auburn. I
love it. I love everything about it. You think about

(17:53):
his story, family comes to America seven Bucks. Didn't even
play football. Wait, hold up, one of the most in
demand college football coaches didn't coach football. But he's in
demand and we want them in there. Yes, exactly exactly.
You just because you coached, just because you played, don't

(18:14):
mean you know it more. And just because you didn't
play don't mean that you can't be an expert at it. However,
your chances are better if you did play though, just said,
I love this because Alex Golish is a builder. He
is blue collar. Now if Auburn's brass, they're boosters. If
they can get on the same page and stop being

(18:37):
malcontented people, they will be just fine. They will be
one hundred percent just fine in in this man's care.
And honestly, I love it. I love him at Auburn.
This is a very good situation he is going to build.
Look at their defense versus Alabama last night. Look their

(19:00):
defense at Auburn pretty much all year. They have talent
on this roster. It's just a bad football team. That
feels like, out of these this feels like the absolute
best chance of success in the situation. Now the next

(19:23):
one up, Ryan Silverfield at Arkansas. Love that as well.
Now I was hoping that he would end up at
the UCLA job, but he is in on being at
Arkansas as well. He doesn't have to go far. Drive
across the Memphis Bridge, the Arkansas Bridge, drive over not
that far to get to to get the Faette bill.

(19:45):
Everything's good and Ryan Silverfield is now going to have
way more resources. And I have heard so many people
sit up here and talking, Oh my god, I can't
believe they hired Overfield. This is a bad idea. He's overrated.
This is it. Here is the truth about Ryan Silverfield

(20:07):
and about the Arkansas job and the situation just in general,
is this. It is a difficult job at Memphis. He
has like seventy five seventy something new transfers this year
and was able to build. This was a good situation
and he will thrive there. But the reason why the

(20:31):
negative reaction happened is because all of these schools, particularly LSU,
they want to win the press conference. They want to
win the press conference, when at the end of the day,
winning football games is what matters the most. Don't give
a damn about the press conference. Dan Campbell had one

(20:52):
of the worst press conferences of all time. Introductory press conferences.
Oo doing a good job up there with the Detroit Lions.
Stop trying to win the press conference and the and
the and the and find you a great football coach,
a leader of men, somebody who can recruit at a

(21:13):
high level. That's how you do it. Now, let's talk
about John Summer all at Florida. I hate this with
the power of a thousand sons, not because John Somemarol
is not a good coach, but because LSU people are crazy.
You sat here and you begged, you grobbled, You got

(21:38):
on your knees for Lane kipping a coach who's not
one a damn thing, a journeyman, giving him ninety million dollars,
probably fully guaranteed. And you're doing that instead of driving
an hour and a half from Baton Rouge to New

(21:58):
Orleans to go high John Somemral somebody who's at Tulane,
who's a prestigious academic university, so he's winning at Tulane,
might be in the college football playoff, and we're sitting
here having a conversation about oh Man, we need Lane Kiffin.
John Sumral understands Louisiana. He understands the kids there. He

(22:22):
can probably tell you the difference between an at two
faith and a gumbo Lane Kiffer can't tell you the
difference between that. He probably know what a root is.
He knows the ins and outs of the Bayou. Lane
Kiffin is no different than Brian Kelly coming down there.
He's a city slicker, he ain't from there. He don't

(22:43):
get it and he's he may be more adapt to
learning it, but they are going to regret this. John
Sumral was the answer for LSU. But now you have
hitched your wagon for ninety US million dollars to Lane Kiffin,
the same man who sat here a year ago. I mean,

(23:07):
I don't know if you want to play in the
SEC Championship. I mean, is it worth it? We don't
have what that's soft. Look at Kirby Smart's interview, Hey,
his press conferences. Hey man, you run from hard. Guess
what you're find more hard? Lane Kiffin ran from old
miss a place where he was building something, growing something,

(23:30):
becoming a legend, to get an easier path, and you
know what he's gonna run into hard. You're gonna run
into a lot of hard. You can't duck the smoke.
This is no differen not talking about I mean, should
we really want to play in the SEC chipping? Yes,
you want to play every football game that you can

(23:51):
to go win something. It's about competing. That's no different
than USC people talking about Oh well, I mean there's
no point in playing Notre Dame. Right, get out of here.
I have also heard people compare the John Summer all
situation at TWU Lane because they're possibly going to the playoff,

(24:16):
and the Lane Kiffin situation where he's leaving a team
that is one hundred percent going to the playoff. These
two things are not the same, and there's a reason
why he's probably going to be able to finish out
with his team. When you are coaching at G sixteen,
it is totally different. The resources are different, the ceiling

(24:38):
is different, the money is different. John Summerl has the
ability to make three times his salary in a few
years by what the top offer that Tulane gave him
when they were like, we can get you up to
four million, and he's like, I'm starting a probably eight
over here with the ability to get to twelve thirteen
million dollars. My resources are different. I actually have a

(25:03):
chance to win a national championship. It's not the same.
So to act like what Lane Kiffin did and John
Somerl did is the same. It's intellectually dishonest. You are
actually making an effort to try to compare things. You
are comparing apples to lemons, and you know it, and

(25:27):
you're trying to prove a point that cannot be proven.
It's silliness silly. I hope John somer All succeeds at Florida.
It doesn't feel like as good of a fit as
it would have been Baton Rouge. But less you're gonna
get what they gonna get. I'm telling y'all right now,

(25:50):
I believe Lane Keffn's obviously going to win some football games,
might take him to the playoffs. When it comes down
to it winning the national championship, he won't. He is
the James Harden of football coaches, James Harden. James Harden's

(26:10):
stats look pretty, game look pretty, That shot is nice,
huge contracts, endorsement deals, everything, But when it comes down
to it, and you gotta get down in dirty play,
some defense and gut check time, check out time. And
that's lang Kiffin. All right. So I've been on the

(26:34):
lang Kiffin trail. But now let's talk about the last
man on here. Hey, this is old missus new head
coach Pete Golden, who was their defensive coordinator. And mind you,
I believe with everything from sources and what the reporting

(26:56):
from people like Pete Nako Stamil who are locked in
low that Lane Kiffen putting an ultimatum on his coaches
you don't get on this plane today, ain't no job
for you yet. A couple of people get on get
on that plane. But the issue is is that they
that they're short sighted and the coaches that stayed back

(27:18):
saw is, nah, I'm not I'm not hitching my wagon
to Lane. I like Lane, I'm working for him. I'm
not hitching my wagon to him. So Charlie Wise, who
got on that plane, other people who got on that plane,
you better hope you succeed there. It's gonna be hard
to find head coaching jobs because if you'll work for

(27:39):
this dude and you'll follow him there, mh, what what
will you do to us? Just saying like you you
have to think about it. And Pete Golding, he is
getting his opportunity. Oh, missus is going to love Pete Golden.
I wish all the winds on Peak Golding, except for

(28:03):
if they play one particular team. That's it. That's it.
I wish all the winds on this man because when
it comes down, when it comes down to how old

(28:28):
miss fans feel about him. You saw them at the
airport bowing Lane Kiffin and everything else. They are going
to rally around this man. They are going to rally
around him. They are going to show him every single
bit of love that they possibly can because they want

(28:48):
a quieter Excuse me, I've been traveling every week for
the college college Football show, and you know it got
me a little bit, as you can hear in the boys.
So that's the college football coach talk. Now there are
still there is still one, well actually two major jobs open.

(29:11):
One of them is UCLA and one of them is
Penn State. Now UCLA wants Chesney. That is their guy,
the James Madison head coach. That is their Numero uno.
And no it's not gonna be Jedfish from Washington. Okay.

(29:32):
I told y'all that a month ago. So this man
has the opportunity Chesney to go to UCLA build something good.
He's a builder. I love that hire. But Penn State.

(29:52):
I want y'all to pay attention to Penn State. They
have been extremely quiet. I do know. I believe now
now there are people talking about the Terry Smith, who's
the interim coach. He should get the head coaching job.
But I'm like, did you really fire James Franklin? And

(30:14):
mind you, this is no offense to Terry Smith, But
did you really fire James Franklin to hire Terry Smith
who was on his staff. Now, granted, sometimes people who
are on staffs they can do a better job than
the head coach, but James Franklin was winning there. This

(30:36):
doesn't feel there's something a rye impends that if we
don't hear a head coach announced by Penn State tomorrow,
here's what I have heard. I have confirmed this with
people in terms of this being a plausible theory that
Penn State if they do not hire him, if they

(31:00):
they do not hire their head coach, announce him by tomorrow,
if we wake up on Tuesday, we know what it is.
That it is a coach that is either playing in
a conference championship game or a coach that is Yeah,
either a coach is playing in the conference championship game

(31:20):
or a coach going to the playoffs. That is the
only way that means that somebody is sitting there or
that the Lincoln Riley. We've heard Lincoln Riley rumors. We've
heard Kalani Sataki rumors. Now, out of all of those,

(31:41):
Kalanie Sataki seems the most unreasonable to me. He's a
b Yu alum, his family's in Provo. The LDS community
is behind him, the poly community is behind him. And
if he goes and goes to Penn State, he ain't

(32:03):
gonna be welcome back in Utah for the holidays. It's
gonna be an uncomfortable situation for him there. So that,
my friends, it's not the Penn State is not a
great job. But that don't make a lot of sense
to me in terms of your own life. And remember,

(32:25):
Kolonie Sataki's wife is the one that told him he
belongs there, he was gonna get the job, all of
this stuff, so she got the keys to the to
the to the thing. She gonna uproot her life to
go there. Telling you it just doesn't make sense for
the poly community, don't make sense for the LDS community.
If that does, that makes I mean I would be

(32:48):
I would probably fall over and faint if Klanie Saintaki
were the new head coach at Penn Penn State. Now
let's talk about Lincoln Riley. I think he's a coastal guy.
I don't think he really wants to live in College Station,

(33:08):
so that feels unlikely. But we've also heard the kailin
the board rumors, So if they don't hire a head coach.
Maybe that there's some truth to that, because they're not
just gonna be sitting there on their hands while all
of these good coaches get get snatched up like proven
head coaches, unless they're getting Brian Hartline. But if they

(33:32):
were getting Brian Hartline, why would you not announce you're
getting Brian Brian Hartline? National signing Day is three days
from now, why would you not announce it? This is craziness.

(33:54):
And yes, I'm gonna get to the college football playoff talk.
I see it in the chat. I will get to
it in just a mint and it stay stay here
with me. Penn State makes no sense. There is something sneaky.
There's something weird. If we don't hear something by tomorrow,
something is up. And it might be Kaitlyn de Boor.

(34:16):
And I've heard people say, well, why would Kaylen the
board leave Alabama to go to Penn State? Maybe one
because he regrets leeve in Washington and number two because
he's sitting there like my if and this is hypothetical,
what if his family hates being in Tuscaloosa. There's another

(34:37):
coach I know who was in Tuscaloosa. His wife did
not like Tuscaloosa and had no desire to go back
there when that job came open. What if the SEC
it just means more psycho crowd. And I mean that
with all the love and respect, because you guys make
college football great. It's too much for him following the

(35:01):
legend unrealistic expectations. What if that is he's like, bro,
I don't want to do this, and he's like, but
I am a really good football coach and the level
of you know, suit and tie people over at Penn State,
that that fits me a little bit better. Uh. I

(35:25):
see in the jet Jed jeff is moving somewhere. Jeffish
is not, is not moving. I would I do not
believe that Jeffish is moving. I don't believe he's going
to leave Washington. I believe he's doing you know, good
work there. Stuff's continuing to get bigger and better. Yeah.
I do not believe the jetfish is going to leave Washington.

(35:49):
All right, now, let's get on to Texas and the
college football playoffs. I have seen so much incessant crying
by Texas fans, and it is it is unbecoming, to

(36:10):
say the least, Texas fans and this hole after they
beat Texas, saying them They're like, we deserve to be
in the College Football Playoff. You're going to all you're
gonna do is tell people don't schedule tough teams. Don't
schedule tough teams. And I'm like, how is that what

(36:31):
you got from this? How is that what you got?
It is copium at its finance. They're like, well, if
we had played somebody else instead of playing Ohio State,
we would be fine. Are you sure about that? Actually no,

(36:53):
people are actually, at least people that I've talked to
and things that I've heard, and the narrative you lost
to Ohio State fourteen to seven. You outgained them. That's
a quality loss. The issue is is that your quarterback
looked awful in the beginning of the season. So yes,
you got dinged in people's minds. Your defense has been

(37:16):
treaded at times, you're having trouble running the football. You
don't look like a national championship caliber team. And now
after a win against Texas A and M, who's severely
overrated because they have not played any of the top
teams in the SEC. Texas is the best team in
the SEC that they played, but We're sitting here trying

(37:40):
to act like a sixteen to thirteen win over a
Kentucky team that just got be forty one to zero
by Louisville, a forty five to thirty eight overtime win
against Mississippi State eight ti forty five. What are we

(38:01):
doing here? And you were down big in the fourth quarter.
It took you a miracle comeback, Like, oh, but we
beat three top ten teams. Who Vanderbilt a in the
top ten team. They're close, they're a good football team,
but don't give me that when we played them stuff
Oregon played Penn State, they were number two or number

(38:24):
three in the country. But you want to discount that though,
right Listen, Texas fans, you had a great season. You
had a great season. It was it's good you're nine
to three and no losses. Like the number of wins
and the number of losses should not just dictate where

(38:46):
you are in the playoffs. It should not, But there
is a level of navigating your schedule that that matters.
Last year. Last year you had Texas get the favorable

(39:07):
end of the SEC schedule. This year, because Vanderbilt was good,
it was a little bit tougher. The Oklahoma win. That's
a nice win. Oklahoma's not a championship caliber team either.
They got no offense, all the defense, no offense. So Texas,

(39:30):
you beat Texas A and M. You gave up thirty
seven points to Arkansas, and then Georgia beat you by
twenty five. So you lost to a terrible floor of
the team and you lost by twenty five to Georgia.
You may have been around the outside looking into the playoffs. Anyway,

(39:52):
you might have been right about where Vanderbilt is sitting
one spot in front of him. So the idea that
you that you beat Texa and them, and you were like, oh,
we belong in the playoff, without seeing the Michigan Ohio
State result, without seeing what happened in you know, with
Texas Tech in West Virginia this weekend, or Oklahoma and

(40:13):
LSU just blanketly we should be in the playoff. You
have to navigate your schedule, so I have I'm I
got nothing for you, Texas. I'm sorry, and it was
chalk this weekend. So so see you see in the
you know, in the Gator Bowl or whatever else that

(40:35):
you're gonna play in. Sorry to be the bearer of
bad news. Buddy, you guys, where do you all right?
So now let's get to talking about the college football
Playoff rankings. Now we don't have the polls yet, so
I'm gonna put up the college football rankings from last week,

(40:56):
which are right here, right here, to my right, you're left,
and then the apeople from today. So I believe what's
going to happen when the college Football Playoff comes out
on Tuesday is Texas A and M, who lost to
Texas in very convincing fashion, falls behind Oregon. So now

(41:22):
Oregon goes up to five, Georgia goes up to three,
Texas Tech goes up to four. Now I would not
have had Texas Tech behind Oregon because I just I
believe Texas Tech is the most underrated team in college
football right now. But here's the other thing. A lot

(41:44):
of this is about familiarity. Think about like ten years
twenty years ago when I was playing at Oregon. Actually
it was longer than longer than that, but you'll get it.
When we were going to the National Championship Game, or
we were supposed to, we were number two in the
AP pole, number two in the USA Today Pole, and

(42:05):
then we were came in number three in the BCS.
Do you know how long it took for people to
feel comfortable with Oregon being a top ten team, a
top fifteen team and seeing it and then like, oh,
they're on the West Coast, they're overrated, they don't play anybody.
This is this, And then you start to beat Ohio

(42:27):
State a couple times, you go on the road and
beat Penn State. You have other big wins along the
way in tough environments, and then you start getting the
benefit of the doubt. Like Alabama gets the benefit of
the doubt, Georgia gets the benefit of the doubt. Think
about how many times we've heard college football analysts and
this is why you guys watch this show because I'm

(42:47):
college football's truth I am college football's truth teller. I
show up for you anhether of them at work on
the studio, driving in the car. The content must get out.
So I believe that this is what is going to happen.

(43:14):
You are gonna have Texas on the outside looking in.
I believe that Texas is going to jump in front
of Michigan in the rankings, and they're probably gonna jump
in front of Utah, and then you're gonna have Miami. Oh,

(43:37):
and then Miami's gonna jump in front of BYU. So
I believe Miami's gonna be eleven. Texas is gonna be twelve.
I see yeah, Texas. Jeez, Vanderbilt is gonna be twelve.
Texas is gonna be thirteen, and then we're gonna have

(43:59):
uh Utah after that, well BYU and then Utah. That's
the way I believe it's gonna shake out unless Alabama
gets some even though they're playing in the SEC championship.
That Auburn performance, Yes it was the Iron Bowl, but
Aubur's not a very good team. So there is a
world where Miami, even though they're not playing in their

(44:22):
conference championship, gets jumped in front of them. But then
that brings up the Notre Dame and Miami debate. Now
they have the same amount of losses, but Notre dames
losses are to Texas, A and m overrated Texas and
m and then also to Miami too well thought of

(44:46):
teams in the beginning of the season, and Notre Dame
has been trending in a completely different direction since then. Miami,
on the other hand, lost to an SMU team that
just lost col last night to not get into the
College football playoff. I'm sorry to not get into the
Big twelve Championship. Sorry ACC Championship Lord at Mercy, and

(45:10):
then we had and then they also lost to Louisville,
who's now unranked. So Miami's losses are worse. And if
you use your eyeball test, you're like, notre name looks
like a better football team. But I do believe the
head to head should matter. But the issue is is

(45:32):
that when they got so far apart, it's now hard
to close the gap. That's where I think that Miami is.
I think that it is going to get extremely tough
for them, and it is going to depend on what
happens in these conference championships. So let's talk about that

(45:52):
part of things. The ACC is one hundred percent in
trouble right now. In trouble Duke seven to five. Duke
is playing against Virginia. Virginia is ranked this last week

(46:17):
number eighteen. They'll probably move up in front of Michigan,
so they'll probably be at least seventeen this week. So
if they win the ACC Championship, they are one hundred
percent sure going to the college football playoffs. Okay, Arizona State,

(46:37):
it's probably gonna be twenty five this week. Arizona will
be about twenty. But it is SMU and Pitt who
are gonna fall out of the rankings for sure. So
if James Madison ends up ranked, now here's where the
college football playoff gets weird. James Madison ends up ranked

(47:02):
and you have TWU Lane and I believe, yeah, TWU
Lane's playing in the conference championship. So if you have
Tulane playing in the Conference championship against North Texas. If
North Texas wins, North Texas will probably squeak into the
twenty five spot, which will give them an automatic berth

(47:26):
in to the College Football Playoff. But here is where
the committee could get nasty, could get nasty. Peep this,
what if Duke wins the ACC and then North Texas,

(47:50):
who is unranked, wins against Tulane. Now you're gonna get
into a situation where the fires the five high ranked
conference champions get into the playoffs. Big twelve, Big ten,
and SEC. That's not gonna be an issue, but now
you're gonna be playing around with rankings below number twenty

(48:12):
five about James Madison, Duke and then yeah, James Madison
if they win their conference championship, James Madison, Duke and
North Texas, and the same thing happens if Tulane wins.
So now you're gonna be judging James Madison versus Duke,

(48:37):
James Madison versus Duke. Hu I wonder how that'll turn
out because Tulane already beat Duke. So you can't say
that Duke is a power for a team and would
automatically get beat by a by a. Yeah, that a

(49:01):
G six team in James Madison would automatically get beat
by Duke because Duke already lost to two Lane. So
you can't in any way say that. You can't say
that at all. That these are the constant issues that
you run into in this situation, and that's why it

(49:25):
is hard with only nine conference games, I'm sorry, with
nine some teams playing nine conference games, some teams playing eight.
The consistency is what we need right right now, all right,
So so the ACC has a problem. They need to pray,
pray that Virginia wins. I mean, I'm if I'm the

(49:47):
ACC commissioner, I'm like, hey, yo, refs, I'm either trying
to change the rules or something I'm doing the Mountain West. Oh,
and then there's the Mountain Mountain West where you got
UNLV also in the mix. So you have UNLV. Boise
say UNLV will win. They be eleven and two, so

(50:11):
you would have to consider them compared to North Texas
if they beat Tulane. Then there is the scenario about
and and let's let me pull up these games the
way you guys can see them. All right, So here's

(50:37):
the games that we got. We got and I want
you guys to plus plus plus. So here's what we got.
We got BYU Texas Tech. What happens if BYU beats
Texas Tech. If that happens now, now granted nothing in

(50:59):
the first game because BYU's only losses to Texas Tech.
Texas Tech only lost it's the Arizona State, but Texas
Tech didn't have their quarterback. I do not believe that
if BYU beats Texas Tech and they're one and one,
that Texas Tech gets left out of the College Football playoffs.

(51:22):
So then two Big twelve teams get in. And you
know what that means for Alabama if they don't win
the SEC Cyanar a pal CYANAR. If they lose to
Georgia and BYU beats Texas A and M. The Big
Twelve is not getting one team in the College Football Playoff.

(51:44):
They're getting two because Texas Tech is going to be
in the top four this week and they're not gonna
fall out. So Texas fans crying, you might be asked
at out if we're being honest. Now, to go back
to the Lane kipping and old miss thing for a second.

(52:07):
Originally I was of the opinion that if Lane Kiffen
left that you could have a conversation about whether this
team should even be in the college football playoffs. I'm
not leaving them out. I'm giving Lane the middle finger,

(52:29):
and they're staying in. They may not get a home game,
but they're staying in. And then you got Indy. Actually,
let's go to this Georgia Alabama game for a second.
Georgia and Alabama, this is a very good football game.
But Kirby Smart has an Alabama problem. I believe that

(52:52):
in this game Georgia will find a way to win.
They're trending in the right direction. Alabama's got some weird
stuff going on. Ryan Williams is probably gonna be in
the transfer portal because he's not playing. I mean, that's
gotta be a natural assumption. So it's getting tricky around there.
So if Alabama beach Georgia, Alabama and Georgia are getting in,

(53:16):
this is where stuff. And remember I predicted chaos last week.
We might get that chaos this week because if let's
say that Virginia wins and it's chalking the SEC and
then two Lane wins. So now those are two spots
that are taking up. Okay, so you got the the

(53:37):
G six and the ACC. This is the thing that
I want you guys to peep. So we got I
want to make sure that my math is correct, so
I'm always taking count. So I got a pen, I
got my paper. So we got Virginia from the ACC,
T Lane from the G six. Assume that that's chalk.

(54:01):
Then what do we have from there? We have Oregon
is in. Let me put the thing up. Oregon is
in Old miss is in. Oklahoma is in. Let's go there.

(54:26):
So that's five teams in oh and and Indiana and
Ohio State are in. Because the outcome of that game
is not going to impact at all what happens. So
you got Virginia Tulane, Oregon, Old Miss. So there's one

(54:47):
old Miss, Oklahoma, Indiana, Ohio State. So that's one, two, three, four, five, six,
seven spots. Okay, Texas, A, and M we're gonna write
them down here at the bottom. Okay, Georgia one in

(55:08):
the playoffs, no matter what. Okay, no matter when or lose,
Georgia is getting into the playoffs. So now we got
four spots left, okay for Notre Dame Alabama, you know, BYU, Miami,
whoever else? Okay. So now, oh and then we got
Texas Tech is in no matter what. Okay, they're not

(55:32):
getting left out of the playoffs. So now we got nine,
and we got the ACC represented, we got the Big
ten represented, we got the SEC represented, and we got
the Big twelve represented already, right, but what happens? What

(55:54):
the hell happens if Alabama beats Georgia. If Alabama beast Georgia,
then we got Alabama in. Okay, that's ten teams. And
then what happened? And then let's say that, I mean,
I guess we can assume that Texas Tech is in

(56:16):
no matter what. But let's go to the Big twelve champion.
What happens if BYU wins. Now BYU is in the conference,
is in the playoffs. So now we got one single
solitary spot left, one spot left for Notre Dame. Yeah,

(56:43):
for Notre Dame, Miami, Utah, Vanderbilt, and Texas. Who are
you putting in? If that's the case, who are you
putting in? That's where it gets tricky. So somebody is

(57:04):
going to get left out. And I'm telling you this
from jump. I do not feel sorry for anybody that
gets left out of the college football playoff. I don't.
I don't. If you're number eleven, twelve, thirteen in the math,
don't math for you. Sorry, Sorry, now I will oh.
I do not believe that Texas is first out. They

(57:25):
got a lot of teams to get in front of
and including some SEC teams. It ain't happening. And they're
not gonna get six SEC teams in the playoffs. That
that's not gonna happen. So if Georgia beats Alabama, Alabama
might actually fall out of the playoff, which which their
fans will be bizerco. But I'll be right at that

(57:47):
point time where I said that they where they missed
the college football playoffs. So it's gonna get real, real
crazy there. But now I want to go back to
this last week of college football. Last week of college football,
because Georgia beat Georgia Tech in an absolute nail bier,

(58:15):
but it was also it was a nail biter, but
it was also not competitive at the same time in
the fact that you never felt that Georgia was going
to lose this football game, even though it was sixteen
to nine. You never felt like that. Yes, they were up,

(58:36):
you know, thirteen to six at the end of the
third quarter, which is within a touchdown, but they were
never in a position to take the lead. Haynes King
only threw for one hundred and eighty one yards and
Georgia Tech only rushed for sixty nine yards. But the
issue is when you look at Georgia Gunner Stockton got

(58:57):
absolutely put in a headline eleven eleven for twenty two
for seventy yards, a touchdown and a pick. What are
we doing? That gives me a little bit of pause
because Georgia Tech's defense has been getting absolutely cooked this year.

(59:23):
And yes, I know rivalry games are a little bit different,
but they've been getting cooked. They gave up forty two
to pit last week they gave up thirty four to
Boston College forty eight to NC State. That's outrageous this

(59:48):
And so you're like, Georgia couldn't score. I know, it's
a robbery game. You gotta throw records out, but you
don't get to throw your bad defense out. Deepens stakes.
That is a high concern if you are a Georgia fan,

(01:00:10):
and especially and especially with the way that things shook
out then we had. I'm just gonna put put up
the screen share because that's a little bit easier. This
Indiana perdue game, Dude, Indiana, every time Kurt Signetty gets
a chance to knock somebody's face in, he does that

(01:00:32):
fifty six to three people, Jesus Christ like, like, you
should be thrown in jail for that, Kurt. I have been.
But the thing is, people believe that Indiana is fool's gold.
They're probably gonna get a well, they're gonna get a
bye in the college football playoffs if they lose that

(01:00:53):
by game of our say they're frauds. No, that's not
what that means. Teams gotta learn how to handle buys
with This Indiana defense is for real. I am for real.
They are That is the best thing about them. Their
offense can be nerved. It can be stopped. Vanando Mindo
is a good player, but they can be stopped. We

(01:01:19):
talked about Texas A and M, and Texas Texas dominated
this football game. Make Marcel Reid throw the football and
you can beat Texas and HM as long as you
can stop to run and keep him contained. Texas A
and M and Washington are pretty much the same team.
Jitterbug quarterback can throw the ball, but also has some

(01:01:39):
accuracy issues and will throw you the football occasionally. Yeah,
but both of them are talented teams. Oh Miss Mississippi State.
Oh Miss dominate the full football game. That was good.
Utah Kansas good football game, but I am not convinced

(01:02:02):
that Utah is an elite football team. They gave up
another two hundred Think about this in the last two weeks.
Last two weeks, the number thirteen team in the country
gave up seven hundred yards rushing. They won both games,

(01:02:27):
But seven hundred yards rushing, that's not even that sounds ridiculous. Ridiculous.
Oh wait, no, excuse me, six hundred and some odd
almost seven hundred excuse me. I want to be a
man of accuracy. Utah can't stop a nosebleed in the

(01:02:49):
run game. I want to talk about this game for
half a second. Iowa and Nebraska, because Nebraska fans are
all my bumper right now because I talked about their
precious head coach, Matt Rule. I don't understand why these
schools keep extending coaches when they don't need to be extended. Well,

(01:03:14):
Matt Rule was gonna go to Penn State, Okay, then
let him. Don't. You do not want a hostage. You
want a head coach. Get somebody who wants to be there.
If Matt Rule wanted to leave, let us ask leave.
Now you're sitting at seven and five and Iowa just

(01:03:35):
kicked you in the face. They just did bad things
to you and Iowa offense. That is a mid as
can be nine twenty four TJ Latif. I know he's
a freshman, but still Mark Gronowski nine for sixteen. Bro.
They just shortened the game and they just ran the

(01:03:57):
hell all over you. Stop it. But you want us
to believe that things are headed in the right direction
for you, No, no surre, no surrebob. But then on
Saturday Oregon Washington, it feels like people are starting to
believe in the Ducks. Feels like they are because this win.

(01:04:21):
Even though it was only a twelve point win. When
you watched the game, Washington never had the ball in
a position to take the lead. Every time it got
within one score it was And this Oregon team, their
offensive line, even though that they were healthy in this game,
beat up Hurt, still not healthy, and their wide receiver

(01:04:45):
cor is decimated. But Malik Benson stepped up, Jeremiah McClelland
stepped up, Jamari Johnson tight end stepped up, Kenyon Sadik
stepped up. This is in. This is a very good
football team. This is a multifaceted football team. And I'm

(01:05:07):
telling you there are very few teams that match up
well with them going into the playoffs. They are assistant
coaches Will Stein and Tosh Lupoy, who I believe that
Tash Lupoy will be the next Cow head football coach.
Surprised the announcement did not come sooner, Well, it has

(01:05:27):
not come yet, I should I should say, but I
do expect him to be the Cow football head coach.
But I will tell you this, there is still a
lot of movement on this cycle. Somebody's gotta go to
North Texas. Somebody's gotta go to Tulane, somebody's gotta go
to uh uh James Madison. When when Chesney leaves, somebody's

(01:05:51):
gotta go to all these places that these coaches left.
So that this Oregon team is definitely trending in the
right direction. I believe that this team is probably going
to end up getting a a They're either gonna be

(01:06:11):
the five seed and play the G six team, or
they're gonna be the four seed and get a bye. Now, granted,
I believe that you should not be trying to orchestrate
your way. But it is Sunday, November thirtieth, the College

(01:06:32):
Football Playoff starts. The first round of home games is
on December nineteenth and twentieth. That is twenty one day
twenty or twenty one days from Oregon's last game. Okay,
they should be significantly more healthy. But what happens if

(01:06:53):
Oregon gets a bye, they are then going to be
playing on November I'm sorry, on January first or December
thirty first, but probably January first, because they're a West
Coast team and they would be in the Rose Bowl.

(01:07:13):
That means you would be bordering on thirty two days
and over a month in between games. You saw what
happened last year with twenty five days off before you
got into the Rose Bowl. That would be a monumental task.
And people have asked, George, which way do you want
it to be? And I've said, I do not care

(01:07:35):
if you are a team that is going to get
a buye Ohio State, Indiana, you know, possibly Oregon, Texas, Tech, Georgia,
whoever else, because you actually could end up with all
the SEC teams not getting buys of Alabama, Beast Georgia
in the SEC Championship. Wouldn't that be insane for those

(01:07:56):
teams to have that much time off and then the
teams that they're playing play and then eleven days later
play again, so they're gonna be warmed up and repped up.
Styles are going to make fights in this championship run
four people. Let's talk about Ohio State for a second,

(01:08:17):
because this Ohio State team, I want you all to
understand what they did to Michigan Bryce Underwood sixty three
yards and a touchdown, twenty four carries for one hundred yards.
I want you to pay attention to the number of

(01:08:38):
plays Ohio State had forty seven rushing plays. Think about that,
forty seven rushing plays. Michigan had eighteen passing plays and
twenty four rushing Wait, that's forty two. Ohio State ran
the ball more time then Michigan had place and then

(01:09:04):
you add in the twenty six pass plat this was
a total domination and destruction at every single level. Now,
if you are a Michigan fan, you should be highly
concerned and the reason why you should be highly concerned.
And I heard this today and I was like, Damn,

(01:09:25):
that's kind of cold. If Sharon Moore were a free
agent in college football coaching right right now, would he
have guaranteed gotten Florida, Georgia, Florida, LSU Like, would he
have been a top candidate for any of these shops?

(01:09:48):
Probably not. And if you're Michigan, I know he's a
Michigan man, but that should be a little bit scary
to you because for the second year in a row,
your offense looks hot, garbage. Your offense looks like it
cannot score against anybody good. You ran against USC ran

(01:10:11):
into too much talent, you couldn't score enough points. Oklahoma
held you down, and Oklahoma can't even score. You have scored.
Think about this. Michigan has only scored thirty points. Thirty

(01:10:36):
points against Michigan State, who's horrible this year on defense,
Horrible New Mexico, Nebraska, and Maryland. You didn't even score
thirty against Purdue five point win. Northwestern, you didn't score thirty.
You almost lost that game. You didn't even score. I'm sorry,

(01:11:01):
excuse me, I forgot Central Michigan. You did score sixty
three Central Misgan. You're supposed to beat them by sixty points.
Bryce Underwood, there is no reason this kid was not ready.
I know that. You know he felt like you. You've
never seen a freshman like me before? Yes you have, Yes,

(01:11:22):
we have. We We've seen a lot of freshmen who
look like true freshmen who are not ready to be
starters yet. We've seen this movie fifty six thousand times.
But there's no knock on the kid. He is very talented,
but when you watch the film, he doesn't know where
he's going. He's confused. It just he's inaccurate. Something's got

(01:11:44):
to get fixed. But that's Michigan. This Ohio State team
is either one of two things. I know that their
defenses is electric they are are either a historically great team.
We're talking USC four, LSU twenty nineteen, Georgia twenty twenty two.

(01:12:13):
Like you know, we're talking in that sort of territory,
Miami one, even though my Ducks might have got But
that's on the story. Either they are in that generational
team category or they just haven't been tested yet, and
when they get into a dogfight, we gonna see what

(01:12:35):
they really made of. That's what I want to see.
I want to see what happens when the Buckeyes find
themselves in a dogfight. I want to see it. I
do it. Next game that we gotta talk about, Oh
god is it's a couple of games. One of them

(01:13:01):
is I have to give so much credit to Dabo Sweeney.
I cannot tell you how much credit. Let me. Let
let me start this off because I want to make

(01:13:22):
sure I'm able to make a short out of this. Oh.
I have to give Dabo Sweeney all the credit in
the world. He found a way to get Clemson to

(01:13:45):
seven and five this year. This is a testament to
leadership and character. I'm not talking about football. Whether you
should have fired the OC your DC's bat none, I'm
not talking about any of that. They had the chance,
after starting out one and four for this season, to

(01:14:08):
turn out like two in ten Florida State last year.
And you know what Dabo did. He has aj Terrell,
TJ Parker TJ to other wide receiver. Uh, he's got
two potential first rounders that wide out as well. They
could have crumbled this year, but instead they pulled themselves up,

(01:14:33):
dusted themselves off, and they found a way to get
to another Bowl game. Incredible boll Shreaker twenty thirty something.
However long it is, it's very long. Great job Dabbo.
In this day and age where people only celebrate championships,
this is a championship because this is the type of
thing that will propel his players in life. They will

(01:14:59):
be better father sons, husbands, the women in the building,
they will be better because they've been through adversity. And
you know what they didn't do. They didn't fold, They
didn't fold up their tent. They didn't quit. They went
out and fought. And I loved that with every single
ounce of my being. Clemson fans can be proud of

(01:15:20):
this seven and five team. They may not be happy
with it, but they can be proud of it, two
separate things and on a quicker side, South Carolina. Shame, Shamebeamer.
There is nothing that we have seen on film since
he got his offensive coordinator to see lost his office

(01:15:41):
coordinator last year. There's nothing on this film that says
that next year is going to be a college football
playoff type of year. Doesn't started out bad last year.
This year you finished the trocious, actually started and finished
the trocious. So at no point in time. And also

(01:16:05):
when Shane Beemer sat up there in the press conference,
I'm a million percent sure we're gonna be in the
right place next year. I'm a billion percent sure. He
said a million percent and a billion percent in the
same press conference. And what I know what life has
taught me is when people start getting in things over
one hundred percent, the percentage chance is probably closer to zero.

(01:16:27):
If you tell me I'm ten thousand percent, now you're
you're probably zero percent, one one percent. Maybe just saying
it is going to be hurt. Oh, somebody in the chat.
And you guys, make sure y'all keep banging this chat
away because paus but because I will get to your comments.

(01:16:50):
All right, here's one of the comments. Is there an
argument why Michigan would be a top team in the
NIO era. Who is going to spend it? Those rich
factory owners in Detroit. I mean they got the they got,
they got barstool money. The lady, the wife of the

(01:17:12):
man who owns Oracle, is a Michigan booster. They got
plenty of money. Issue is Sharon Wore has gotta recruit
better because if you put Dan Lanning or Marcus Freeman
up in Michigan, they're gonna have a top five class
every single year. And also, you got to fix this offense.
Wide receivers don't want to play there. It's not fun football.

(01:17:36):
You're saying, so oh not not his wife, it's his girlfriend. Okay,
whole nother thing, all right, next game that we gotta
talk about. Because I always say that there are two

(01:17:59):
rules for deciding when you need to switch your coach up.
Two rules. One of them is is there a coach
that you can for sure get that will do a
better job than the one that you have right now?
There is Florida State in the last two seasons is

(01:18:21):
seven and seventeen. They have not won a road conference
game in over two seasons. Is there a coach that
you can guarantee get that will do a better job. Yes,
I can like randomly pull one out of the one
thirty six, bag seven and seventeen in the last two seasons.

(01:18:45):
I can go coach Florida State to that. And that's
not this on Mike Norvel in terms of him being
a human, But the results are the results. And then
the second thing is is there a loss of hope?
Can you go in and recruit and sell them on
the fact that the future is brighter than the past.

(01:19:06):
I don't believe at this point that he can do that.
And these are real issues, real issues. He's got a
winning record with Jordan Travis at quarterback, and outside of
that at Florida State in massive a massive losing record.

(01:19:29):
So Florida State may actually be they're balking at the
fifty eight million dollars buyout and they're like, Ah, we
need to We'll do it next year. You're gonna lose
that in nil money just from the boosters. You're gonna
lose that in season ticket revenue. It may actually end

(01:19:50):
up costing you more to keep them than to fire him. Now,
Mike Norbel might land on his feet get things together,
but right now at Florida State. It is unfixable. It
is and it sucks like that's not it's not saying
anything about him, but it's just not fixable at this
point point in time. And I hate to be the

(01:20:13):
bearer of bad news, but the truth is the truths
the truth is the truth. Let me see if we
missed any games. A uh oh, you guys, you oh.
I wanted to go back to the coaching thing for
a second because I got on Lane Kiffin's head earlier

(01:20:34):
and y'all make sure y'all go start back at the
beginning of the video. I went all over the coaching
stuff and went in detail with it. So I had
a thought. I was like, which coaches in college football
would you give ninety million dollars to, like Lane Kiffin
just got or Kurt Signetti just got, and do you

(01:21:00):
expect the national championship for that? My initial thought was,
it depends on where you are. Indiana has been one
of the historically worst college football programs in America. If
he gets them an average of nine point eight wins
a year, which is basically ten wins a year over
the course of this contract, that feels like a win

(01:21:23):
for Indiana, even if they don't win a national championship,
the actual floor for their program has risen from the
basement to the penthouse. That feels like it's worth ninety
million dollars. Ninety million dollars at O at LSU. What

(01:21:45):
is that worth? That's gotta be not just one national championship,
maybe two to make it feel worth it, right, So
the expectation is different. So I got to thinking, and
you guys can put it in the check, which head
coaches do you believe are worth ninety million dollars guaranteed?

(01:22:08):
I got the list short. I am gonna put Signatti
on there because of Indiana's history. Dan Lanning Kirby smart
is worth probably about one hundred and fifty because he
got two national championships. That ain't nothing slowing down there.
And so I got to thinking of what other coaches

(01:22:31):
are worth ninety million dollars fully guarant guaranteed. I couldn't
really come up with any just saying, but you guys,
though I appreciate your time, I appreciate your energy. You
guys make sure that you guys like subscribe, tell a
friend about the show. Oh yes, Ryan Day, glad you

(01:22:52):
put it in the chat Mrs ninety million dollars. He
got a national championship. He's doing it now. We don't
know if he can exist outside of Ohio State, but guests,
we'll never know. We don't have to figure it out.

(01:23:13):
