Speaker 1 (00:00):
Jump right in the hour number two here and get
you ready for a football week and a baseball week,
all of that coming up in a few minutes. Greg Tepper,
managing editor of Dave Canills Texas Football Magazine, will join us.
It's a little early in the week to talk about
(00:21):
the college football games that your most anticipating, is it.
Speaker 2 (00:27):
Started to say, or is it?
Speaker 3 (00:31):
I don't think it's ever too really, Craig talk about
little college football.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
Well, no, no, no, And you're right about that. I
was just talking about in the matchups in specific. But
you sound like you're a person who's had your eye
on a specific game or two already for this week.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
Well, we discussed a little bit yesterday. Tennessee Oklahoma. The Falls,
so I think are maybe just behind Georgia Tennessee or
Georgia Texas rather in the tiers of SEC teams, maybe
the tier one. I'm not sure. I love La Malva
their quarterback, Nico. I'm gonna call the Niko from now on.
That's a little bits to pronounce Niko. And what are
(01:07):
we going to see from Oklahoma? You know, they beat
Houston by four point sixteen to twelve. They were in
a five point game against De Lay in the fourth
quarter and they pulled away with the victories. What's what matters?
Three to now and host Tennessee and I think that's
a team that they probably wish they could see a
little bit later on in the season, but they get
them week four to start their SEC. It's their SEC
(01:29):
debut really against the volunteers, so that'll be a really
fun matchup. I think Game Day is going to be
their six thirty prime time game on ABC. A lot
of eyes will be on that one, especially with Texas
of course facing Oklahoma in just three weeks. But outside
of that, Craig, we have USC and Michigan, which is
(01:51):
also a conference game.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
What a world we're in.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
We got Oklahoma Tennessee at their conference game, but also
US CED and Michigan as a conference game. USC, you know,
not on them. Craig's always been all offense, no defense
under Lincoln Rilly, but hey, they got a really good defense.
I love their quarterback Miller Moss. He's been fun to watch.
And we already know Michigan struggles at quarterback. Alex Orgi
will be the starter, so can they hang tough with USC?
(02:15):
Are the Trojans going to role the Wolverines like Texas
did two weeks ago, So that'll be fun. Another Top
fifteen matchup Utah and Oklahoma State the Cowboys and Mike
Gundy three and oh Utah and cam Rising three and no,
that'll be a fun conference game. And then Friday night
(02:35):
Top twenty five matchup Illinois in Nebraska. Dylan Royola, the
UCLA transfer, has had a fantastic start. Of course, I
don't know, Craig. Have you seen all the mahomes comparisons
to him. Yeah, with the way he is and the
way he warms up and the way he throws, it's
very interesting. But that'll be a funny games. That's the
(02:57):
Fox Friday Night game, as Fox now has kind of
taken over Friday Night in college football. Last week was
Arizona in Kansas State. This week we got Illinois in Nebraska.
I'm sure they have some other matchups on the line.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
Then they also have.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
Kansas and you at LV last Friday they oh, no, no,
ESPN had that one was ESPN.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
That was ESPN. I know this.
Speaker 1 (03:24):
I know the high school football coaches in Texas aren't
thrilled with NOE, and I know most of the college
coaches in Texas should not thrill with that. They feel
that Friday night should be reserved for high school.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
Yeah, and I think you probably feel the same way
I do. Yep, and I agree. Now it's cool we
have football, you know, eight days out of the week.
Now it feels like But I thought about it last
week when I was calling the WIST Consolidated game. Why
is the four star receiver Adrian Olson, Arizona State commit.
Arizona State was playing on Thursday night, what one hundred
(03:54):
miles south in San Marcus, And so it's like, hey,
if you wanted to see your your future team play,
too bad, you're playing a game on a Thursday night.
And so isn't college football. But that's the way we
are with television networks and rights fees and all that
they want to be able to get these programs on
a primetime game during the week.
Speaker 2 (04:11):
Well, yeah, that is true.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
I also came across an article that Kyle Bonnager, who
I really like his work for ESPN when he does
when college football did it, and this was this was
an interesting article because it was how the Pac twelve
pretty much as we know, had been pretty much left
for dead and now all of a sudden, they appear
to be rising from the ashes. And of course, you know,
(04:37):
in addition to the two remaining schools, Oregon State and
Washington State, they now have and unanimous, unanimously approved official
applications from four schools in the Mountain West Boise State,
Colorado State, Fresno State, San Diego State.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
And then we said, what if they added two more.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
Schools, Toss State and Jose San Jose State, then they
could call it the State eight if they wanted to.
They have to get to eight schools in order for
it to be to qualify for the College Football Playoff,
they have to have eight in there. And Teresa Gould's
their commissioner. She said, we have a real opportunity to
(05:20):
write a new story for the future and the new
PAC twelve. So these expansion efforts have been going on
for several weeks, but it wasn't until early last week
that everybody thought for sure that this is definitely going
to happen. And the Mountain West, of course, is not
happy about it. And one Mountain West school administrator said
(05:44):
there were some things after the fact that became more clear,
like certain people from those four schools were not president
meetings or generally unresponsive. It makes sense now, but we
had no sense this was coming. And so now apparently
it's alive and well and they're going to add two
(06:04):
more and the PAC twelve is not going to be dead.
So there were there were a couple of things about this.
There was something else that was that was pretty interesting
as well. The commissioner of the Mountain West Conference is
Glory Navarres, and they the PAC twelve had an after
hours event and then she had media day that was
(06:27):
back several months ago. But then she was touting a
presidential initiative intended to help the Mountain West in the
year of college realignment, a process known as how about
this Word threat casting UH threat casting. The conference retained
the help of Brian David Johnson, who had been described
(06:51):
as an internationally renowned threat caster. He serves as the
director of the Threat Casting Lab at Arizona State, which
states it strives to quote provide a wide range of
organizations and institutions actionable models to not only comprehend these
possible futures, but a means to identify, track, disrupt, mitigate,
(07:12):
and recover from them as well. She said he worked
with us to model all the different futures in and
around the college athletic space. He's providing his signals and
wave finders so that we have early detection for the
more dire outcomes. That's the way well, and they end
up losing four schools anyway out of that deal despite
the threat casting that's going on. So those four are
(07:35):
going and two more going ahead. And now we don't
know if two more are going to go out of
the Mount West or if they go some other place
for that, but two more are going to go, you know,
to the Pac twelve if they are to remain in
caa college football playoff viable.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
And we'll see that in the coming weeks and months.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
We have all this conference free alignment, right, It's affected
the ACC, Big two twelve, Big ten, Pac twelve, obviously
now the TUPAC, but going to add a couple more schools.
It's affected the Sun Belt, It's affected the American Athletic Conference, Craig,
but it hasn't affected the MAC.
Speaker 2 (08:17):
Why is that the Mid America Conference is what it is,
stuck there in the heartland of America.
Speaker 1 (08:27):
In fact, they expanded a little bit with you Masks
and goule, you know, they.
Speaker 3 (08:30):
They did it because they did a few more schools.
Speaker 2 (08:32):
Yeah, so they're you know, there's still there's still viable.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
They probably probably because they have a real good grasp
of who they are when it comes to football and
really all sports, but especially football. They're no threat to
the power structure of college football. Now, uh, if they're
good enough, they hope that. And we saw this with
Northern Illinois when they qualified for the Orange Bowl a
(08:56):
few years ago.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
Was it? Where was it? PJ. Fleck was Western Michigan
to get to a Cotton Bowl.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
That they they you know, turn up a pearl every
now and then, but you know they're they're gonna have
to be one of those G five conferences. In other words,
they have no design on the coming a Power five,
the G five. They're staying in their lane. Yep, they are.
They are people kind of know who they are and
(09:24):
what they are. And then they have a big moment
like Northern Illinois beating Notre Dame so they have a
shot to get into the playoffs.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
So it really aspirational.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
Correct, more people should be like the men America, be like.
Speaker 2 (09:34):
The mac right, have your own action.
