Speaker 1 (00:00):
College Football Talk Daily, we were talking about the playoff thing,
and the first information is coming out about the playoff
with Rich Clark, the executive director, doing a webinar today
that I was listening to and watching that webinar, and
he'll join us on the program tomorrow. Next Tuesday, of course,
(00:21):
is the first release of college football playoff rankings, and
as Rich Clark pointed out, it'll be just like it's
been in past year as a top twenty five, twenty
five down to one.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
That's the way that we'll go.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
Anyway, here's something else that came down since we're talking
college football news from CFP NO from CFB Talk It says,
here's the headline. Horrific news for TC going into an
important rivalry game Saturday.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
Breaking news.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
Quarterback Josh Hoover has been suspended indefinitely due to low GPA. Wow,
Hoover needs a minimum two point oh GPA to play.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
I didn't know that was still a thing. I didn't either.
With all the.
Speaker 3 (01:10):
Resources that these college kids have at their disposal, there's
really no excuse for you to be failing classes like
that unless you just do not show up the class whatsoever.
And even then, I mean hey Google, Roy Williams.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
Yeah, here's somebody like you said, said, boy, I haven't
seen this happen in years. With all the high priced tutors,
classes built for athletes and coaches focused on academic performance.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
How can this happen? We hear about it a lot
in the high school level. Craigs.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
I'm sure, no pass, no play. Yeah, it's quite simple. There,
here's somebody else. How does a football player get suspended?
Aren't they famously not taking real classes away? Oh gosh,
that's gonna be bizarre if if that is indeed the case.
Speaker 2 (02:05):
So wow.
Speaker 1 (02:07):
So anyway, and big game for them, because aren't they
playing Baylor this weekend? Let me double checking that as
TCU was trying. TCUH got that win last week over
Texas Tech at home rally back when to win there,
(02:30):
They're in Waco Saturday night playing Baylor Saturday.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
See.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
Now, let me tell you something I remember I was
telling you this story yesterday about how a lot of
fans of both SMU and Pittsburgh were a little bit
incensed that their game, which is a huge game in
the ACC which would really define who which team is
(02:58):
the biggest threat to either Clemson or Miami to try
to get into the a SEC Championship game and the
game's on ACC network, It's not on one of the
ESPN platforms, and say, oh yeah, because he you know,
because the SEC. You know, that's that's just how that is.
You know, they get all the h they get all
(03:19):
the great windows on that. So I'm looking to see
what the evening window is. See the afternoon window Florida,
Georgia's two thirty. Oh yeah, it's Texas A and m
at South Carolina and on on ABC. So there are
folks are grumbling about that, but you know that wouldn't
(03:41):
be Mike Grumble, wouldn't wouldn't be for that if I
was an ACC person, Mike Grumble would be for the
fact that TCU Baylor is on ESPN two. I would agree, Yeah,
five and three against four and four TCU trying to
get Bowl eligible and trying to get one step close
to Bowl eligibility. You know, Kansas State and Houston is
(04:06):
own Fox. But that's Big twelve again. So anyway, that's
that's the situation with my cousins broadcast. He's see in Baylor,
good Man, my cousins good Man. I always enjoyed visiting
with him. NFL notes quarterbacks being benched, as we know,
(04:27):
with Anthony Richardson being sacked for the game on Sunday
night against the Vikings. For the Colts, thirty nine year
old Joe Flacco will be handed the keys and Bryce
Young is going to start for the Panthers. He's going
to make a second straight start for them. That'll be
(04:47):
against the Saints on Sunday because Anthony Dalton injured his thing.
Andy Dalton, Yeah, continues to rehab from a spring thumb
on his throwing hand, which he suffered last week in
a car accident. Dalton was a full participant in practice today.
Oh my goodness, but he's expected to be Young's back
(05:09):
back up. That's such a Panthers Dave Canalis was not
trying to be cute or try it or or do
a pun or a pun or anything like that when
he said, and here's the quote. To me, it was
taking the decision out of Andy's hands because of the thumbs.
But he wasn't saying it because of that. He goes,
(05:31):
if you were to ask Andy, could you go, he'd
say yes. And for me, he's like a week removed
from a thumb injury and I just want to make
sure that we're putting him back out there in the
right state and the right framework. And I'm excited for
Bryce to have another opportunity to build on things that
we've talked about, to continue to just grow and get
that experience and we talked about is invaluable. So there's that.
(05:52):
Here's the other news you need to know about that game.
Jonathan Brooks may make his debut, Yes, sir, so, I'm
GOODJB the lifetime Longhorn. He's not going to start Cheba Hubbard.
We'll get the start, but it said he'll get some
reps if he's ready. He's been working hard and they
(06:15):
think that he wants to see him for a full
week before committing to playing him on Sunday, But he
said thinking about him and making sure he's confident ready
to go. So we're going to stack up a few
more days here before we make that decision.
Speaker 3 (06:30):
Looking at the point differential, Craig thirty two NFL teams,
of course, the thirty first worst point differential in the
National Football League this season the one in six Tennessee
Titans negative seventy six, the Carolina Panthers negative one hundred
and forty seven. They've been outscored by one hundred and
(06:52):
forty seven points total this season.
Speaker 2 (06:54):
That is so bad. Yeah, yeah, that's awful.
Speaker 3 (06:59):
I mean they're they're close to being over one hundred
points worse than the thirty first worst team in the NFL.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
So you're saying the Panthers are the worst team in
the NFL. Ah, by far.
Speaker 3 (07:11):
I think so, and I think their fans would tell you.
I mean, are they worse than the Titans? I think so.
I think if those two teams played right now on
a neutral field, the Titans would be favored to win
by like four and a half points.
Speaker 2 (07:24):
Would the Cowboys beat them? The Panthers, Oh, I don't know.
Say I knew that would throw you off.
Speaker 3 (07:33):
I mean, if any Dalton's playing, they there's an upset there.
With Bryce Young, I don't know. I think he's good
for at least one or two interceptions right now. And
the Panthers, I mean, they just traded their only good
receiving weapon, Deontay Johnson to the Ravens, so I think
they have Adam Thielen as their number one receiver. I
don't know if he's still even on the football team.
(07:54):
I hope Jonathan Brooks will make the team. Yeah, but
they're they're there. It should be a fire cell for
the Panthers.
Speaker 1 (07:59):
You don't. It's gonna be interesting to see, is if
both Let's just say the Cowboys and the Panthers don't
win a single game between now and December fifteenth. They
play in Charlotte. The Cowboys play at Carolina on December fifteenth.
So because the Cowboys, you know, we've talked about this,
(08:23):
how bleak is the outlook for the Cowboys.
Speaker 2 (08:25):
The next five games are brutal. They go to Atlanta.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
Then they have the Eagles at home, lost and loss,
Texans at home on a Monday night.
Speaker 2 (08:33):
Big loss.
Speaker 1 (08:35):
At Washington, big loss, Giants at home. Yes, next four okay,
the six games. Really the seven game struts the fact
that they were able to beat Pittsburgh. If Pittsburgh starts
Russell Wilson, they may win that game because considering Fields
is awful in that game and it came down to
a couple of fluke plays at the very end. Cowboys,
(08:57):
there are two of their three wins this season have
by have come by combined five points three over the Steelers.
I'm sorry, I can't add math eight points five over
the Steelers, three over the Steelers, five over the Giants,
and then they had a week win win over the Browns,
which doesn't count. Yeah yeah, uh so, all right, so
you're saying Falcons, Eagles, Texans, and Commanders are all going
(09:18):
to be losses.
Speaker 3 (09:18):
You think so, unless you know the injuries keep piling
up in Houston, you know, unless you know Hurts is
out for Philadelphia or Jayden Daniels is out, I don't.
I don't see how this current Dallas Cowboys roster wins.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
Now.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
Your argument is that, Okay, they got Deron Bland back
off the ir today. I think you're goodn't. You're gonna
have Michael Parsons back, you would think, by at least Philadelphia,
maybe Houston, DeMarcus Lawrence possibly, So you're getting some guys
back there. That's the argument for Dallas winning some of
these games. But I mean, these are four playoff teams.
(09:53):
Craig and the Eagles have played really good football, Houston's
got a fantastic record, Washington of course leading the NFC East,
and in the Fawkins. You know, these are all four
could playoff teams. And then you have the Giants who
are on Thanksgiving Thanksgiving, you know, remember Cowboys lost the
Raiders on Natesgiving a few years back.
Speaker 2 (10:09):
Always a weird day.
Speaker 3 (10:10):
And the Bengals, who are going to be desperate in
that game, Monday night game.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (10:15):
The only one I see for sure in the remaining
schedule where I guarantee a win is at Carolina.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
So you think they'll win that Carolina? I would hope.
Speaker 3 (10:23):
So, I mean, I think there's a couple of college
teams that could beat Carolina right now. And I'm not
saying that facetiously. I really, I really.
Speaker 1 (10:31):
That would never happen. You know, that would never happen.
You know, it would never happen. No college team is
going to beat an NFL team. No college team Oregon's
not going to beat an NFL team. George is not
going to beat an NFL team. Come on, it's not
gonna happens. Not gonna happen.
Speaker 3 (10:49):
George would be in the backfield all day against Bryce
Shawn all day.
Speaker 2 (10:53):
Correct, it's an NFL.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
Offensive line, they would keep them out as bad as
they are against other NFL teams.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
No, it would not happen.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
All right, we're gonna hear more from logwarts head coach
