Speaker 2 (00:23):
They're in the top of the third in that American
League Division Series Game two in Cleveland where the Guardians,
who won Game one over the Tigers seven and nothing,
are scoreless. Cleveland and Detroit. Are you you ever still
occasionally anyway have difficulty remember Guardians?
Speaker 1 (00:42):
Yes, I mean last segment, I was probably about this
close to call them the Indians. Gene Watson called them
the Indians last week.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
Yeah. Oh, here, we'll see if he does it again,
he'll join us for fifty.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
I almost want to call him spiders because I wanted
them to be named the Cleveland.
Speaker 2 (00:56):
Spiders should have been Spiders, and and it really would
have been a thing of symmetry, since they had the
worst record in baseball and fewest wins percentage wise, and
all of that until the White Sox this year. Now,
the White Sox got more wins, ended up with more wins.
(01:17):
They ended up forty one and one twenty one, so
they ended up with more losses than the sixty two
Mets or losses, but more wins because they played two
more games because the Mets had two reinouts. And that
was the expansion here for the Mets and the Socks went.
(01:37):
In eighteen ninety nine, the Cleveland Spiders, in a one
hundred and fifty four game schedule, won twenty games. They
were twenty and one thirty four. Now, there are those
who say that that's not really modern era baseball that
started after nineteen hundred. Maybe it is. Maybe I don't know,
but it's It was the worst winning percentage for a
(02:00):
full season in that won one hundred and fifty four
games and in a one hundred and sixty two game schedule,
the White Sox lost the most games, won the second
fewest games. The Mets at the fewest wins. They had
forty went forty and one to twenty. But it would
have been cool, but they're the Guardians and it is
scoreless in the top of the second in that one.
(02:20):
All right, what were some of the LSE wanted to
get to here with regard to college football? Now, I
mentioned the rankings, how Texas was number one again.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
In the.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
In the Power in the polls, but they are not
number one in the Power rankings. ESPN's latest college football
Power rankings came out and Ohio State is number one.
Texas isn't even number two. That's Oregon. So and if
you say, well, it's because a game day is going
to be out there and they wanted that for their matchup.
(02:55):
Remember that game is not an ABC slash ESPN Family telecast.
I don't know it's either CBS or NBC because both
have big ten. I hadn't checked, but it's not. Is
it a prime time NBC game or is it an
afternoon CBS game or a prime time CBS game? Scrolling
(03:21):
scrolling NBC NBC? Okay, Jason Garrett and Jack I'm just kidding.
Is Jack collins Worth calling it? I don't think so. No,
it's it's Paul Burmeister. I think who does it? So anyway,
Oregon is number two Ohios. These are the power rankings
(03:41):
according to ESPN their college Football Power Rankings. Texas is
number three and their comment was the long worns on
a BI sat back and watched college football burn this weekend.
As an Alabama team that bypassed them from the top
ranking last week lost to Vanderbilt. You can be sure
that Steve Sarkeashan will use that as a reminder this week,
not the Texas needs any motivation. Yeah, right there, that's
(04:04):
an important thing to remember. It's headed to Dallas to
face Oklahoma for the first SEC version of one of
the best rivalry games in college football and arguably the
best setting in the middle of the state Fair of Texas.
The long run should have Quinn Yewers back after a
week of rest. That was pretty much what sar Kid
said if they were doing it now. Penn State is
number four in the power rankings, Georgia five, Miami six,
(04:26):
Alabama seven, Clemson eight, Tennessee nine, and Iowa State ten.
Those are the power rankings according to ESPN. Now the
other thing, and only because quite often I'm just whatever
a glutton for minutia and do this from time to time.
The Athletic which I think has some of the best
(04:48):
writers covering college and pro sports in the business, and
has let me use a radio term, the ban with
to be able to do the deep dive on lots
of different things. One of the things they do every
week I love this is they rank all one hundred
(05:12):
and thirty four college football teams. They do this every
week there used to be a feature, and then it
went away for a long time. Then it got resurrected.
I haven't seen it lately, and I have to look
at it. Used to be a syndicated column. I used
to read it in the newspapers in the days when
you actually would hold the newspaper in your hand and
read it called the Bottom ten, and it would be
(05:33):
kind of an irreverent look at the worst teams in
Division one college football. But if it always kind of
had like a punchline or this or that, this kind
of falls along those same lines, especially as you get
deep down further into the one thirty four. But they
rank it's a weekly ranking of all FBS college football teams,
(05:57):
and they they point out that four top ten teams lost.
Remember there were five in the top eleven. So it
goes on and on and then and then they get
into it. So here's their top ten. They do have
Texas number one, Ohio State two, Alabama third. They only
dropped them two spots after the loss to Vanderbilt. Georgia four,
(06:20):
Oregon five, Penn State six, Miami seven, BYU eight, Tennessee nine,
and Clemson ten. They say Texas slides up to the
number one after Alabama's lost. But the long Orne won't
have it easy with Oklahoma and Georgia over the next
two weeks. And then they go on with some other things. Okay,
and they said, we've got Ohio State Oregon this week,
so get ready for another shake up at the top
(06:42):
second ten eleven through or actually the second fifteen eleven
through twenty five. Iowa State is eleven, Kansas State twelve.
Then it's Notre Dame, Indiana, Texas A and m fifteen Ole,
miss SMU, Boise State, Missouri, LSU to finish the top twenty.
Then it's Utah, Oklahoma twenty two, Navy, Illinois, and Michigan. Okay,
(07:08):
so that's the deal there twenty six to fifty, Nebraska
twenty six, followed by pitt Washington State, Texas Tech at
twenty nine or four and five and one and on
a bye. This week Arizona State, Vanderbilt, Iowa USC Arkansas
US fell from eleventh to thirty third following its lost
(07:30):
in Minnesota. Arkansas went from forty six to thirty fourth
after its win over Tennessee. Syracuse's thirty fifth, followed by UNLV,
which lost its first game and dropped thirteen spots from
twenty three to thirty six. Louisville, which after losing the SMU,
dropped ten spots from twenty seven to thirty seven. Arizona, Rutgers,
South Carolina, Kentucky, Memphis, Washington, Colorado, Cow, Tulane, Georgia Tech, Virginia,
(07:57):
Boston College in West Virginia. West Virginia went four fineteen
spots after its road win at Oklahoma State from fifty
one to seventy five. Duke, which had unbeat had been
unbeaten at forty five before losing to Georgia Tech fell
to fifty one. Then Oklahoma State dropped fifteen spots from
thirty seven to fifty two. Florida, Liberty, Virginia Tech, Northern Illinois, Army,
(08:22):
U EL Monroe. In case you didn't notice, the team
whose only loss is to Texas this year is now
four to one. They went from one oh one to
fifty eight because they beat James Madison, who they put
barely just behind them at fifty nine. UCF Western Kentucky, Toledo,
Presno State, Oregon State, Wisconsin, North Carolina now sixty six, Minnesota,
Sam Houston, Michigan State, Maryland, Texas State fell two spots
(08:49):
to number seventy one despite a win Auburn, Cincinnati, San
Jose State, and Louisville. From seventy six to one hundred
is wait for As Coastal carolin On End CEA State.
Houston TC was eightieth, dropped seventeen spots after losing at
home to Houston. Stanford, Northwestern Georgia, Southern Florida State, Georgia State,
(09:09):
North Texas. Ne Alma Mater didn't play, but fell three
spots from eighty three to eighty six. Yukon Kansas, Kansas
was a dark horse pick to win the Big twelve.
They dropped there now eighty eighth at one in five.
Baylor is eighty nine. South Florida, Buffalo, Nevada, Arkansas State,
South Alabama, Ucla, Marshall Charlotte, Mississippi State, Appalachian State, and
(09:31):
