If you close your eyes and give yourself just to
breef inhale in the morning, you can go ahead and

Speaker 3 (00:37):
It's right around the corner.

Speaker 2 (00:39):
Yes, Indeed, summer school classes in session. A true gram
session coming your way over the next forty five minutes,
all things college football, current events. We're gonna have some
fun with a snake draft as far as drafting the
national champion.

Speaker 3 (00:55):
Got some other odds and ends before we get out
of here.

Speaker 2 (00:57):
We'll leave them close up shop with some rapid fire,
as we often do, and it's gonna be a fun
episode coming your way once again.

Speaker 3 (01:05):
Joining us. Top right hand corner, Mark Henry Junior, a
host of a tough cover radio show every Saturday. Mark,
how we.

Speaker 4 (01:11):
Doing doing great? Can't wait?

Speaker 2 (01:13):
My man Tanzy on the bottom right hand part of
your screen.

Speaker 3 (01:17):
Read him at crossing broad dot com. Cash and tickets
is what he's all about. How we do it?

Speaker 5 (01:22):
Joe Good, There aren't enough team or we don't have
enough teams for three rounds in the Snake Draft.

Speaker 4 (01:28):
That third round is gonna be fun.

Speaker 5 (01:30):
The third round is gonna be just throwing darts.

Speaker 3 (01:34):
Duke, I'm in on Duke.

Speaker 5 (01:37):
And finally, college football not basketball.

Speaker 3 (01:42):
Shit. I didn't even well, I just cursed. I didn't
even win that with them. They choked way to bring
that one back up, that one hurt Ryan Beef Coyle,
our returning champion Beef. How we do it?

Speaker 6 (01:53):
Was just watching the SEC News series on Netflix. So
the Football Football Itches is definitely and if you haven't
watched it yet, recommend that. I think I'm three episodes in,
but really cool, really good stuff and you know, just
anotherother thing that helped pass the time before a few
weeks from now when we get live action.

Speaker 2 (02:11):
DJ Lagway and bubble tape yet or does he have
like a neck brace and a walking boot. What's the
latest as far as Lagway is concerned with the SEC show.

Speaker 4 (02:20):
Well, it's from last year.

Speaker 6 (02:21):
But but their quarterback last year, Graham Mertz got hurt
and then he went in, so it might just be
a Florida thing at this stage.

Speaker 3 (02:29):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (02:29):
DJ Lagway might as well be DJ Roethlisberger at this point.

Speaker 2 (02:33):
Unbelievable. We will talk about him. But folks, let's go ahead.
We're gonna dive right into it. I had an idea
with Heisman Trophy to snake draft the Heisman Trophy winner,
and Mark Henry Junior said, you know what, I think
it would be even cooler if we did a national champion,
And I totally agree with him because it's more to
involve everybody. The Heisman Trophy is throwing darts up against

(02:56):
the wall. But I'm really more interested myself, and I'm
sure a lot of other people are as well, on
who we really think has a realistic chance to winning
the national championship this year.

Speaker 3 (03:06):
So let's dive right into it, right from the jump.

Speaker 2 (03:08):
Let's not waste any time, and let's go ahead and
see if we can pick the national champion.

Speaker 3 (03:12):
Of course, we have the order.

Speaker 2 (03:14):
We're gonna do it a snake draft, and after you
pick your team thirty to sixty seconds, we'll see who
is eliminated.

Speaker 3 (03:20):
We'll keep it moving.

Speaker 2 (03:21):
But I'm really intrigued, and I think this is going
to hit a number of those questions. Of course, we're
gonna talk a ton about I would assume the big
ten in the ACC with our selections, I would assume
we'll find out if what did I say, Oh no,
oh yeah, I see see in Big twelve? Yes, all right, twelve,

(03:44):
Big ten, I'm all.

Speaker 3 (03:45):
Over the place Big ten. Let's we'll edit that one out,
all right. Our order is as follows.

Speaker 2 (03:52):
Mark Ever is going first, Beef a second, Tansy third.
I'm for Snate draft, so you know what that means.
I'll go back to back. We'll send it down to Tansey.
But let's go ahead and open it up. Selection number
one overall national champion according to Mark Henry Junior, who's
first off the board.

Speaker 7 (04:10):
I know I said last week that I was quacking
it up, and I do love the Ducks and I
think they're a top two team in the country.

Speaker 4 (04:19):
The last week or so, I've.

Speaker 7 (04:22):
Turned a little bit to another Big ten team that
starts with, oh, I'm going to the defending national champions.

Speaker 4 (04:27):
I'm going back to the Ohio State. Well, I've been thinking.

Speaker 7 (04:30):
It over and I'm I'm kind of just shocked at
the way where I feel like in some I mean,
they're obviously ranked what is it one or two? Is
Texas one in Ohio State's two, right, So they're ranked too,
and I think part of the part of that is
because they want that one to two matchup.

Speaker 4 (04:45):
So I think that.

Speaker 7 (04:46):
There's maybe some incentive out there for the coaches and
rankers to make it a one to two matchup for
that week one. To me, it seems like you've listened
to a lot of the podcast Penn State, a lot
of these other teams are kind of bypassing Ohio State
in this Nation Championship discussion. In my opinion, High State
might have the two best players in the country and
Joeyah Smith and Caleb Downs they do. Yeah, it might

(05:07):
be arguable. Yeah, I think that they are the two
best players in the country. Obviously, they also return four
fits of their offensive line. You look at the quarterback, like,
are we really like missing Will Howard? Like I think
Julian saying probably will slot in and be fine. Like
I think Will Howard was fine. I think he kept
the train on the tracks. Maybe it's early on in

(05:28):
the year where it's tough for saying. But the big
thing I keep coming back to with Ohio State and
Oregon and why I like them so much more than
Penn State.

Speaker 4 (05:35):
They only have Penn State on their schedule.

Speaker 7 (05:37):
They don't play each other like I think Ohio State
and Oregon are going eleven and one bare minimum. Like
let's say they and I think one of them is
probably gonna go undefeated. That's my opinion. But I'm gonna
go with Ohio State here love.

Speaker 3 (05:51):
It beef number two. Where are you at?

Speaker 4 (05:55):
Let me go with Georgia.

Speaker 6 (05:56):
I think they're They're going into the year a little
bit under talked about, and I think that's kind of
right where they want to be. They got the chance
now to Kirby has that chance to kind of use
that as some motivation headed into the year. I think
gunnarf docked In is kind of the better fit there
quarterback over Carson Beck, just because I trust him.

Speaker 4 (06:14):
To take care of the football a little bit better.

Speaker 6 (06:16):
Really like the defense as always, and when you look
at their schedule, I think they're going to be favored
in every game. When you have favorite in every game,
the chance to be that number one seed. We saw
how it worked out last year with the number one
seed with Oregon, but I think Georgia will be favored
in every game. I think they'll enter the colle Football
Playoff as the number one seed, the highest OIDs to
win to win it all, so I'm gonna go with
to Georgia Bulldogs right now.

Speaker 2 (06:37):
Gunners stocked in in those Georgia Bulldogs seven to one,
beef like second off the board all right in Ohio
State was plus five fifty Tansy over to you third
select WHOA.

Speaker 5 (06:50):
There are seven teams by my judgment here that are
already in the college football playoffs. I like that Lina State, Oregon,
and Penn State Mark. Look, they're all getting in. It
doesn't matter what the records are. It's a matter of
who gets the automatic buye out of the big ten.
I agree same thing with Georgia, Texas and most like

(07:11):
the Alabama of the SEC. And there's Clemson in the ACC.
Think about it this way. If you want a team
to win a national championship, you only want to win
three games, right, Getting that fourth could be dicey. You
never know Clemson's gonna win the ACC. They're they're pretty

(07:32):
much sharpened in by every expert under the sun at
this point. So why not just take a team that's
guaranteed to be in the quarterfinal and not mess around
with the first round game.

Speaker 7 (07:44):
Well, they don't get to buy anymore. Right with the
top four is just the top four. They would have
to earn that that buy and go twelve and oho.
The thing I think I heard worrying about Clemson, and
this is not a Tansy thing, Brandon Walker, I think,
is picking them to go to the go to the Championship.

Speaker 4 (08:01):
I've seen a lot of championship buzz about them. They
have a I think.

Speaker 7 (08:05):
Outside of the ACC maybe like one of the hardest
non cons in the country.

Speaker 5 (08:13):
Well, look, I will say, regardless of format, I think
they're gonna it changes on me like ten ten times.
But yeah, I would still go with them regardless. I
still think they'll be a top fourteen.

Speaker 2 (08:23):
I think Clemson is most likely a lock for that
championship game, right, the ACC Championship game. Of course, if
they win that, they get the automatic bid they're in.
That's a team that's battle tested, multiple national champions and
everybody's high as hell on them, that's for sure.

Speaker 3 (08:38):
So you're not out of the box on that selection.

Speaker 2 (08:41):
But what is crazy is that the favorite is still
on the board in Texas, and you know what, they
will still remain on the board because with the fourth
overall selection and our snake draft and who's gonna win
the National Championship.

Speaker 3 (08:56):
I'm going to Alabama.

Speaker 2 (09:00):
I'm a baby or old damn tie plus one thousand.

Speaker 3 (09:04):
I like the boar, of course.

Speaker 2 (09:05):
I like his system is good now last year still
good wide receivers.

Speaker 3 (09:10):
I know the question mark as far as with.

Speaker 2 (09:12):
The quarterback play, but I just think Alabama is gonna
have a hell of a season this year.

Speaker 3 (09:17):
And it's not we.

Speaker 2 (09:18):
Talked a lot about it two weeks ago. It's not
to say that no one's giving them a chance. They're
not gonna be able to play that card. But I
feel like they are being a little slapt on, that's all,
and I like that. So I'm definitely gonna take Alabama
there at plus one thousand.

Speaker 3 (09:33):
Lobama World mar Camy Juniors, you have a take.

Speaker 5 (09:36):
Yeah, I like to pick.

Speaker 7 (09:38):
I have a couple teams ahead of them, but I
have them seventh went on my kind of big board,
and I think there's a clear top eight for me.

Speaker 4 (09:45):
The Clemson thing, I think I cut out.

Speaker 7 (09:47):
I just wanted to chime in having to play LSU
at the beginning of your schedule in South Carolina, at
the end of your schedule, and if you just look
in terms of like an acc draw I think Clemson
is a tougher ac see drawl than then. I think
people would give it credit for now. Maybe the a
SEC is just total trash and they go through it.
I actually think there's a couple of teams at the

(10:08):
top that could be competitive. I don't have Clemson in
the playoff. I'm a little lower on Clemson than consensus.

Speaker 4 (10:15):
I know that.

Speaker 7 (10:15):
That's like, I'm pretty consensus in my playoff. Outside of that,
that's my one, my one kind of hot take. I
do like the Bam effect. I weirdly feel better about Bama,
Like well, I almost feel like Bama's a lot to
make the playoff. But I don't look at them like
a national title contender yet. Maybe I just maybe that's
just not having seen the quarterback yet.

Speaker 4 (10:35):
But I think they'll be there.

Speaker 5 (10:39):
I don't. I don't think South Carolinas will be that good.

Speaker 4 (10:41):
That's fair if you're not a South Carolina believer.

Speaker 5 (10:43):
I think I think they're way too high, even if.

Speaker 4 (10:46):
They're a seven or eight SEC win.

Speaker 7 (10:48):
Even if they're a seven or eight win see team,
I think that's a difficult I think it's on the road.

Speaker 4 (10:52):
I could be mistaken there. But even if it's seven
or eight win win team.

Speaker 7 (10:56):
I think that's a difficult test at the end of
the schedule, but yeah, if you're out on South Carolina
and it makes it a little an easier road, all right.

Speaker 2 (11:04):
And then back to me, and this is an easy one,
boys and girls, because if the number one team is
on the board, you gotta take them at plus five fifty.
And it's all about Arch. I'm a believer in Arch.
For years, we've been wondering whether or.

Speaker 3 (11:16):
Not Texas is back. Well they are back. Sark's got
that program grooving in the right direction.

Speaker 2 (11:21):
I know they had a lot of a lot of
things to rebuild in the offseasons.

Speaker 3 (11:26):
Hopefully they were.

Speaker 2 (11:26):
Able to share that up protect Arch, especially on the
offensive line. But man, I do believe in the kid.
I think he is a future number one overall pick.
And you know what, to be honest with you, I
did hear a couple comments in the last two weeks.
The thing that we talked about two weeks ago whether
or not he's gone, and there was split split feelings
on that. So I think that he could come back.

(11:47):
You know, even if they win a national championship, he
might say I still want to return.

Speaker 3 (11:51):
We'll see what happens.

Speaker 2 (11:52):
But I gotta go Texas plus five excuse me, plus
five fifty on draftings, sportsbook favorite here number one overall.
They're tied at this point in time with Ohio State.
So I got Bama in Texas. I feel pretty good
about my plays there.

Speaker 5 (12:05):
Well, then I'll take Penn State. That's pretty easy.

Speaker 3 (12:07):
Ah, there it is.

Speaker 2 (12:09):
Tansy goes PSU at plus seven hundred.

Speaker 4 (12:13):
Why.

Speaker 5 (12:14):
I mean, I know more about the quarterback than I
do with Oregon. I know more about the running back tandem.
And like I said a few weeks ago, I'm not
worried about them losing Apole Carter. It's about yeah, the
tail as old as time can. Penn State have a
passing game more with more than one target, and I
think that if we're if that's our biggest concern here

(12:35):
about Penn State, well, it's just like every other year,
isn't it. There's better quarterback player than there has been.
Not saying Dueller is perfect, but when you look at
the cast the net this year after Arch and KVE Club, Nick,
I mean where a lot of these guys can develop.
Julian Sane can develop, Dante Moore can develop. Whoever Alabama

(12:56):
starter ends up being can developed, gunnerstocked, and again, all
these guys can developed into the top guy in the country.
But right now, at least we know, Look, it's not
perfectly Jubalor, but if he's worked on some things in
the offseason, and if this wide receiver group is even
twenty percent better than last year's, they're gonna be improved.

(13:16):
They're gonna miss Tyler Warren, of course, but if the
wide receiver plays is better, you can absorb that with
the amount of returners and the quarterback. Look, we know
they're going what bare minimum ten and two.

Speaker 3 (13:32):
All right, Penn, stay off the board. Beef over to you, sir.

Speaker 6 (13:39):
I'm gonna take the fighting Irish right in front of
Mark here.

Speaker 4 (13:42):
I like to go twelve and.

Speaker 6 (13:44):
Oh, I think that if Notre Dame does go twelve
and oh, I think that there, it's gonna be hard
to not at least give them the two seed. So
another team with a pretty favorable path, And just like
with Georgia, I think you look at their schedule, I
think there's a chance that they're favored in every game.

Speaker 4 (14:01):
The toughest game I think is probably.

Speaker 6 (14:03):
On that schedule Texas A and M, and you get
them at home. So I like them to be favored
in every game. Can they avoid that one slip up game?
It's like they go to Arkansas, does Arkansas pull up
a stunner?

Speaker 4 (14:14):
Usc?

Speaker 6 (14:14):
What do we get out out of them here? There's
always that one game we saw with last year. I
hate to bring it up, Mark, but the Northern Illinois game.
Did they just not show up one of these games?
And that dings them up a bit? But I don't
think they have any team on the schedule this year
that'll hurt it kind of that bad national perspective wise.
So for Marcus Freeman to take that team from where
it looked like a low point in the program last

(14:35):
year and take them all the way to the national
title tells me everything I need to know about kind
of the belief he gets in that locker room. And
it's just a situation where what do we get out
of the quarterback? They're rolling a new guy here with CJ.

Speaker 4 (14:46):
Carr. But I'm a huge fan of Mike den Brock.
I'm a huge fan of fan of Jeremiah Love.

Speaker 6 (14:50):
I like them to go twelve and OHO, so stupid
not to have them as my second overall pick.

Speaker 4 (14:55):
Here the quarterback reports and making me nervous.

Speaker 7 (14:59):
It definitely seems like they're neither one of them is
grabbing the job they're They're really leaving it open for
both Car and Minshi.

Speaker 4 (15:07):
Both seem like they're talented. Car with like a five
star min.

Speaker 7 (15:09):
She's like a dual threat type of guy, So it'll
be interesting to see.

Speaker 4 (15:13):
Uh, that's kind of I I wouldn't have taken Notre Dame.

Speaker 1 (15:18):
Uh.

Speaker 7 (15:19):
Notre Dame would be third best available on my board,
so I have them six available, sixth overall. But I
agree with you though the schedule's friendly this year. One
thing I'll say is like it they'll probably be favored
in every game in A and m and Miami are
probably the two toughest games, which aren't that tough, I'd say,

(15:39):
but I'd say like they have like eight nine eight
eight or nine like good teams.

Speaker 4 (15:44):
That they play like they're playing there.

Speaker 7 (15:47):
There's not a lot of like layups on the schedule necessarily,
but it's there's not a lot of like really really
marquee games either, So it's an interesting kind of schedule.
There's not gonna you can't like coast through any games,
and I think they probably will get on. I mean,
they've shown that that's kind of been an error in
Marcus Freman years. But I have the number I have
the number two and three teams on my board available

(16:08):
at eight and nine here, so I'm psyched I'm taking Oregon.
I you know, telegraphed that at the number one pick
when I almost took them over Ohio State. I've talked
a lot about Oregon. I'm buying in as everybody else
I feel like is fading. I kind of love that
Oregon is the sleeping team and nobody's picking them Ohio
State and Penn State or the focus and even Penn
State to a bigger degree than Ohio State, and even

(16:32):
you have all these other teams in the SEC taking
the focus over Oregon, clems and taking the focus over Oregon.

Speaker 4 (16:38):
I believe in Dan Lanning.

Speaker 7 (16:39):
If you're giving me one coach in the country who
hasn't gotten over the top and hasn't won the big one,
I would take Dan Lanning as the guy who's going
to get over the top in these next couple of years.
Maybe that's not this year, but I love that Oregon
only has the Penn Stak game. You go through the
rest of that schedule. The hardest games are like Pat Washington,
I think there's might be an at Nebraska and there

(17:02):
there's there's a team like that from the Big Ten,
from the that should win seven or eight games that
they're going to, but not a brutal schedule for the Duckies.

Speaker 4 (17:10):
So I'll go with Oregon at eight.

Speaker 7 (17:12):
And then my number, my number nine pick is my
number three overall team, and.

Speaker 4 (17:16):
This could go.

Speaker 7 (17:17):
I could say Texas or Georgia should probably be ahead
of them. But I'm aboard the nuss bus. I'm all
aboard Meyer and lsu. I. You know, my family, Brian
Kelly down there. Everybody knows that I love Brian Kelly.
But I think that it's hard to deny how good
that this this roster is. If Harold Perkins can get

(17:37):
back going and in the position that he played when
he kind of broke out a couple of years ago,
on the defensive side of the ball, that's gonna be
the big thing here. The defense was just terrible two
years ago, a little better last year, but not good
enough to you know, compete and make the playoffs. And
now it's got to really step up and be an
sec level defense. I think the offense we know is
going to be there. You look at the talent the

(17:59):
O line. Thus my they're gonna be there. And that's
over these last couple years. That LSU offense is a machine,
and I think they're gonna keep churning it out.

Speaker 4 (18:07):
But it's gonna come down to the defense. I'm buying
in that they haven't figured out this year on defense.

Speaker 2 (18:13):
All right, nine picks made and the top nine on DraftKings,
odds on favorite to a national championship are all gone.

Speaker 3 (18:21):
So now it gets a little interesting here. Back to
Beef once again.

Speaker 2 (18:25):
LSU is plus sixteen hundred and the Oregon Ducks are
at twelve to one.

Speaker 3 (18:30):
Oh excuse me, I can't I'm away off today, aren't I? Yeah?

Speaker 1 (18:33):
There is?

Speaker 3 (18:34):
Was that right? Okay?

Speaker 5 (18:35):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (18:35):
Okay?

Speaker 4 (18:36):
It all right?

Speaker 3 (18:37):
On to beef, next one up?

Speaker 4 (18:39):
All right?

Speaker 6 (18:39):
So with that last pick by Mark, I think the
national championship windows closed. I don't really think out of
outside of that crew, there's really an ideal pick after that.
So let's have some fun. Let's go wild card here.
I'm gonna go with South Carolina. I've been hyping up
the doors. Sellers, if he's as good as I think
he's gonna be, have that Cam Newton esque you know,

(19:01):
Auburn season. Take them to the Promised Land. They have
one of the tougher schedules in the country. But if
he goes balls out, even if they go you know,
ten and two, nine and three with that schedule, I
think they'll.

Speaker 4 (19:10):
Still find their way into the playoffs.

Speaker 6 (19:12):
So let's get a little you know, freaky here with
this last pick. If I'm picking Sellers to win the Heisman,
they're gonna be in that contention there for the playoffs.

Speaker 4 (19:19):
So give me out, Lamora Sellers in the game.

Speaker 3 (19:21):
Coups play.

Speaker 4 (19:26):
Go ahead, Mark, I had them eleven, you took them
a nine.

Speaker 3 (19:28):
I don't.

Speaker 4 (19:29):
I don't hate that that that value at all. There's
only one team available.

Speaker 7 (19:32):
I would have taken the swing on over them, but
South Carolina if they hit, I do think they have.

Speaker 4 (19:37):
A chance to hit big.

Speaker 3 (19:39):
All right, Joe Tansey, your final selection be if you're.

Speaker 5 (19:43):
Doing it all wrong, going going with a chancey pick
from the SEC. I mean, come on, they're a top
fifteen pre season team that's not even not even having
any fun with it. At all, if you're gonna have
if you're gonna have actual fun with it. And I
mean this one really doesn't matter because there are nine
teams that can win the title and the nine teams

(20:03):
we picked. So let's go to the conference we haven't
talked about yet. Let's take a total flyer, a dart
throw a team that is plus twenty thousand to win
the national championship, the Ihowa State Cyclones. That's how you
do it, Beef.

Speaker 4 (20:20):
Mcclay's got a lady in his room down the hall.
But who was the most excited tonight.

Speaker 2 (20:28):
McClay that dog love it, Tansy. Why why Iowa State?
Obviously besides taking a shot, But why do you what
do we miss him?

Speaker 5 (20:37):
What was somebody's somebody's got to win the Big twelve.
Somebody's got to get into the playoff from the Big twelve?

Speaker 7 (20:44):
Right?

Speaker 5 (20:45):
And last year did any of us think at this
point in the season Arizona State was that team?

Speaker 1 (20:50):
No?

Speaker 5 (20:51):
Absolutely not. I still think Matt Campbell's a heck of
a coach. His window to get to a bigger job
has slammed the shot. They do have a returning quarterback,
rock a Bect that's you know that's half the battle
at this point in college football, where quarterbacks are are
going uh here, there and everywhere, and look, we were

(21:15):
just throwing darts here. That's really all it is. I
think Iowa State it's a team that regardless of what
happens in Dublin against k State, which is still the
weirdest matchup ever, uh in the weirdest location. But I
think Arizona State, I don't think they're gonna be as good.
I think it'd be good, but not as good. Colorado's
gonna take a dip just in. You know, they had

(21:36):
two really really good college football players on their team
last year and they're not there anymore. So I really
do think it's a crap shoot in the Big twelve.
So why not throw a dart?

Speaker 2 (21:46):
I dig it, I dig it and the last last
morn furry frogs.

Speaker 5 (21:52):
What a story that is? That's our that's our week one, bet, Mark,
let's good?

Speaker 3 (21:58):
Is that is that a real deal?

Speaker 4 (22:00):
No confirmation? I can't figure out how real are fake?

Speaker 2 (22:05):
Josh, Yeah, it's it seems like it could be bald
sacked Area, you know, getting sacked Centil.

Speaker 5 (22:15):
But it's so it's so perfectly.

Speaker 2 (22:17):
College so yeah, people that don't know, forgive me. The
quarterback's name, Josh Stunt, and he pointed out our Apparently
they you know, put a picture out on Instagram where
he was at a furry convention and it was something
like I'm furry and I'm proud and it has taken.

Speaker 3 (22:36):
Over, that's for sure.

Speaker 2 (22:38):
But I kind of like dig it if it's real,
Like all right, dude, it.

Speaker 5 (22:43):
Kind of kind of vibes with the TCU vibe has
been giving off because the what what is it? The
what the frog? They do with every winning graphic, No,
they've done like the hipnotude they do throughout. I mean,
some of the graphics have been really freaky over last
few years on social media. So it wouldn't surprise me
that it fits right in with the vibe they're they're

(23:05):
selling down there and forth all.

Speaker 2 (23:07):
Right over to my final pick here, and it's you know,
it's a toss up. Like we said, I just want
to pull up a spread real quick just to make
sure that I know what the hell I'm talking about, because
I thought it was somewhat close for this week one
matchup or yeah, week one matchup, all right it is. Anyways,
So the one thing I would say from whereas that

(23:31):
with these teams that remain, it comes down the schedule,
right you want to You don't want to take somebody
at like Oklahoma.

Speaker 3 (23:38):
They have a death schedule in front of them.

Speaker 2 (23:43):
Yeah, everyone's trying to sell them. Obviously, Old miss could
potentially get it done, but again, that's a tough, battle
tested SEC is a good luck.

Speaker 3 (23:53):
On that one. Michigan, I'm not buying.

Speaker 2 (23:55):
I can't wait to see what the quarterback looks like,
but I'm not buying it with that one. I'm gonna
go with a proven quarterback. I get it, he did
it with a different team. But I'm buying the U
and Notre Dame where they're two and a half point favorites.
If they get by the Irish, they will take down Florida.

Speaker 3 (24:16):
They're gonna be better than Florida State. Sure, they got
Louisville on the schedule, but that's it.

Speaker 2 (24:21):
That's it. After that, it's a cake walk. Give me
the you as my third and final team.

Speaker 5 (24:28):
Somebody forgot about Mario Crystobal's entire track record as the
Miami head coach.

Speaker 4 (24:33):
Yeah, Notre Dame are the favorites.

Speaker 7 (24:35):
By the way, I don't know if you two and
a half, Yeah, Notre Dame by two and a half.

Speaker 4 (24:39):
There, I think you picked the wrong Notre Dame opponent.

Speaker 7 (24:43):
I think the Notre Dame opponent on the board to
take is the one they're taking two weeks later. If
I'm taking a shot outside the top nine, I would
go A and M. If you're I think Marcel Reid
full season, Elco second year. They got a ton of
transfers in. If I was taking a shot outside of
the obvious national title contenders, they'd be the one that

(25:04):
I would I would take a look at.

Speaker 3 (25:06):
They got a different or difficult schedule too.

Speaker 2 (25:09):
They take on L s U, they got South Carolina,
they got his Notre Dame, Damn A and M.

Speaker 3 (25:16):
That's a tough one, man, Like.

Speaker 7 (25:18):
That's I think if they go ten and two with
that schedule, they'll get in. Well, yeah, with how many
tough wins they'd have to have.

Speaker 5 (25:25):
I think I think it's more surprising if a team
in the SEC has an easy schedule at this point, Like, like,
what I mean you expect Missouri? Yeah, I mean there
are certain teams that take advantage of the easy schedules
in conference play. I think Missouri might have done that
two years ago as well, but you so look to me, sure,

(25:46):
if you have six or seven ranked opponents on your
SEC schedule, that's what you signed up for. Like, I
don't have any sympathy for you. I don't think it's
tough like it's just it's the SEC. It's the toughest
conference in college football. This is what you signed up for.
So if you play six to seven ranked opponents each year,
that's what it is. If you play less than I say,
four to five, then I think we should be shocked

(26:09):
and really kind of set expectations on a team like that,
because then you know, Okay, the schedule sets up easy
for you this year, I'll out like in Indiana last year, right,
I Mean, there's a reason why these teams come out
of nowhere and we just don't see them coming because
we're not talking about in Indiana or in Arizona State.

(26:29):
But the schedule ends up opening up for them where
maybe they're better than they think they are, right, and
then all of a sudden, oh, they're actually good. Now
Can they contend with the top of the top. No,
But there's still a very good football team, and there's
always one or two of them each year. Who knows
what who those teams are?

Speaker 4 (26:49):
Right, But I think.

Speaker 5 (26:50):
If you're the SEC, I don't think anybody's gonna jump
out on the radar. Look if you have a tough schedule,
I mean, so be it.

Speaker 2 (26:58):
There are you know, look just putting a cap on
that one. Like you said, SEC, You're gonna have a
difficult schedule no matter what. But there are you know,
Florida's probably got the most difficult schedule right in the conference.

Speaker 3 (27:09):
Like it's easy to say who do we just say
had the most Oklahoma ranked teams? Oklahoma, Mississippi State, Like
there are levels to it. I guess I would say the.

Speaker 4 (27:17):
Teams who got to break are really Georgia and Missouri.
If you look at their schedule.

Speaker 7 (27:22):
I think the SEC did Georgia a little bit of
a solid the Missouri the way that they just I
think certain teams you're locked into in the SEC to play,
and Missouri's gotten lucky with the teams they've been locked
into not being good like Kentucky and a couple other
teams like that, But.

Speaker 4 (27:39):
They were the teams that got lucky.

Speaker 7 (27:40):
I'm seeing Tennessee as one of the lower strength of
schedules in the SEC, you get.

Speaker 5 (27:44):
Through the schedule.

Speaker 4 (27:44):
I don't think that's an easy schedule.

Speaker 7 (27:46):
But I think Georgia and Missouri are really the teams
that got lucky, and Vandy, Mississippi State in Florida, Oklahoma
are really the teams that got screwed.

Speaker 4 (27:55):
Everything else is kind of probably you know, right, and
doesn't to.

Speaker 5 (28:00):
Your point, there are teams that are locked in right
because their natural rivals, like Arkansas is always gonna play LSU.
They're always gonna play Missouri, or at least they're gonna
try to. So these natural built in rivals, some of
them are just more difficult than NOSE. I mean, look
at A and M. Their their natural built in rival
is is Texas. Look at Oklahoma. Their natural building rival

(28:21):
is is Texas as well, So already having one built
in makes it makes it more difficult.

Speaker 7 (28:27):
And A and M made their secondary rival LSU when
they entered the SEC when they didn't have Texas there,
which is like, now you got Texas too, congrats.

Speaker 3 (28:37):
Some other other topics we're gonna get into now.

Speaker 2 (28:40):
Just to let everyone know, we'll put out a graphic
a little bit later, of course tomorrow.

Speaker 3 (28:43):
If you're listening to us right now.

Speaker 2 (28:45):
Never miss anything at Foxpho Gambler dot com. But we
got twelve teams up and we'll see if we get
the national champion. I would assume that the national champion
is on this list. I would hope the national although
if it's not, that's gonna be all of a season
and it all get started in two weeks, all right,
speaking on national championship. Just curious because things change. College

(29:07):
football is so different than last year, even more different
than the year before, and we're gonna continue to evolve,
and who knows what's gonna happen in three to five
to ten years time. But knowing what we know last year, Beef,
I'll start with you on this one and it will
come around.

Speaker 3 (29:24):
Do polls matter? Do preseason polls matter? Of course? You
know where I'm going with this.

Speaker 2 (29:30):
We just had the coaches poll top twenty five. No,
a lot of some conferences have did away with preseason polls.

Speaker 3 (29:37):
They don't want any you know, bias coming in. I
would argue that I.

Speaker 2 (29:41):
Think, no matter if you release these polls or not,
we're still gonna have bias to Georgia. Two teams that
are bringing back quarterbacks you know, I don't think we're
going to be pulling a team out of thin air.

Speaker 3 (29:51):
But again that's just one man's opinion.

Speaker 2 (29:53):
Knowing what we know after last year and all the
chaos that went on of course, making the playoffs beef.
I'll start with you, does the preseason coaches pull mean
a damn thing?

Speaker 6 (30:04):
I still think it has some merit, just for you know,
outside perspective and give everyone kind of a glimpse of
where these teams are. But when you look, you can
look at last year, Florida State entered the season at
number nine, they finished the season two and ten. You
look at Arizona State, they were projected to finish last
place in the Big twelve. They go to the College
Football Playoff and nearly knock off Texas.

Speaker 4 (30:24):
Like, you still got to go out there and play
the games.

Speaker 6 (30:25):
But I think now with the expanded playoff, they mean
less because I feel like earlier when it was just
you know, the four team playoffs, or when it was
just one and two, obviously met more because if you
were up there, you were going to stay up there
unless you lost it, and there was a reason to
push you back. Now, with the ever changing, the ever
changing playoff. It means a lot more week to week

(30:46):
I think in terms of.

Speaker 5 (30:48):
Just these teams kind of shuffling around.

Speaker 6 (30:49):
So you still got to go out there play the game,
but there's still plenty of opportunities to make it the
end goal, which is to go to the playoffs.

Speaker 5 (30:55):
So I say it still.

Speaker 6 (30:56):
Has a little bit of merit, but not nearly as.

Speaker 4 (30:58):
Much as it used to.

Speaker 2 (31:00):
Hansy over to you do polls or the preseason poll
coaches poll specifically, does it matter?

Speaker 5 (31:06):
I mean, they're both the same, the AP and the
Coaches just they get the Coaches gets released two weeks beforehand,
they're going to be the same. Last year there was
I think only three or four instances of variance between
the two poles. So what we see right now with
the Coaches Bowl is basically what we're going to see
with the eight people. I think it matters to show
us which teams are the best. I mean, look at

(31:26):
last year's preseason AP top ten. It's Georgia, Ohio State, Oregon, Texas, Bama, Ole,
miss Notre Dame, Penn State, Michigan, Florida State. FSU is
really the only significant miss on there right A lot
of those teams were in the national conversation until the end. Again,
teams are going to emerge, right, They're going to be
teams like in Arizona State or Indiana. It happens every year.

(31:50):
There's always one or two surprise teams. So I think
in terms of just setting the tone for the season,
I think it matters. But it also is you know,
it's not teaching us I guess anything new. I mean
you'll see all these major media sites. They're way too early.
Top twenty five is out the morning after the National
Championship and it really doesn't vary from that point on.

(32:13):
So from January twenty first to August sixth, we have
an idea of who these teams are. It's just they
weren't officially put numbers next to them.

Speaker 7 (32:23):
Mark Herritt Junior, So I yeah, I mean, if they
didn't have these rankings, we would just be using the
gambling odds, which is what these rankings are.

Speaker 4 (32:31):
Mostly based on.

Speaker 7 (32:33):
If you look at the rankings, they're pretty influenced by
the gambling odds until you get to like the later
people want to include, like the SMUs and the teams
that maybe made runs last year, the Indianas and teams
like that. Maybe then it's not as influenced. It's like
partially the rankings from the end of last year with
like a dash of the gambling odds and the teams

(32:55):
that have the buzz this year, like LSU being ranked high,
Texas Tech making it in the top twenty five despite
not really being there dandel last year because they went
out and spent a bunch of money, but they don't
feel comfortable putting them higher than like twenty four.

Speaker 4 (33:10):
So it's yeah, it's mostly.

Speaker 7 (33:13):
I mean, it's tough for us to talk about when
there's not much to talk about.

Speaker 5 (33:17):
It is good that we got number one versus number two,
though I think that's a from a college football standpoint. Looks,
it's August in the middle of baseball season, whatever. But
to now set from this point on to August thirtieth,
we have number one versus number two starting off the season,
obviously good for the network's Fox can build that up

(33:37):
left and right. But to have us be like, oh,
we have number one versus number two, the first big
the first major set of games.

Speaker 2 (33:50):
Oh I think he froze up. Uh yeah, look that
one versus two. There's a lot of games there there is. Yeah, Joe,
you froze up a little bit. But there's so many
good games in that week on window. But man, that's
that's the top dog. It's amazing that we're getting that
at noon.

Speaker 5 (34:06):
I still hate today. That should be a prime time game.

Speaker 3 (34:09):
Should be, should be You're right, but I'll you can
play that game at Monday at nine am. Like, I
don't care, let's go.

Speaker 5 (34:18):
I want I want one two week one in prime time.
Oh my goodness.

Speaker 4 (34:24):
I'm just happy.

Speaker 7 (34:25):
You get Ohio State Texas at noon, you get LSU
Clemson night, you get Notre Dame Miami on Sunday, and
then we get to bet on the Furry Frogs on
Monday against North Carolina.

Speaker 4 (34:37):
That's your That's just a weekend of college football.

Speaker 3 (34:40):
So many good games, so many good games.

Speaker 2 (34:42):
We'll talk a little bit about anything that's appealing to
you over the last two weeks, maybe that you have
dove into and came across a stat that's making you
a believer before we get out of here.

Speaker 3 (34:52):
Uh. I do want to bring this up, though, Roger Goodell.

Speaker 2 (34:55):
With the ESPN purchase of all things NFL, it seems
like ESPN is controlling everything.

Speaker 3 (35:00):
What a day for them.

Speaker 2 (35:01):
As far as the red zone NFL and WWE, any
volunteers here for the red zone channel, anybody want to
throw their resume into the hat?

Speaker 4 (35:11):
What is the Scott Hanson not in.

Speaker 2 (35:13):
Well, No, for the college football red zone, college football
or red zone, it's gonna be coming.

Speaker 5 (35:19):
If I ran college football red zone, it would be
the sun belt in the the AAC. That's the reason
why I won't watch college football red zone because it'll
be all'll be dictated by anybody with ESPN rights, It'll
be all SEC when it gets to the middle of
the season October November and I'm belting on Texas State
versus ul Monroe. I can't find that on red zone.

Speaker 7 (35:41):
Is there any argument that, like these other networks should
let ESPN air that stuff on their red zone almost
as like an advertisement for that network, if it's like
including all of that network on ESPN, Like you're looking
at ESPN and it's a CBA scheme, like does not.

Speaker 5 (36:01):
Already the case with the NFL, like in a way
because it's CBS and Fox.

Speaker 7 (36:06):
Oh yeah, yeah, Well it's different because the NFL is
as a lead like has those relationships, whereas yeah, it's
it's obviously it's a little.

Speaker 4 (36:13):
Different, but it works perfectly. Like it would be awesome.

Speaker 7 (36:17):
If ESPN, even if you have to give NBC and
CBS and a couple of Fox, a couple, you know,
a couple of million dollars. I feel like it would
only be beneficial to everybody for that Red Zone channel
to actually be a full comprehensive thing of all the networks.

Speaker 4 (36:33):
But Joe's right if if it's not, then it's just.

Speaker 7 (36:37):
Going to be the Big twelve and the SEC and
whatever you know, the ESPN has this year.

Speaker 2 (36:43):
I do want to point out that the folks that
are at west Wood one on radio, they do a
tremendous job with their day and if you're in the
car and you've got to drive, that is a muscless
and it keeps you up. They whip around with the
best of them. And yet it like you said, Joe,
I think you're spot on with it. They don't lock
it just to the SEC or Big ten or anything

(37:04):
as far as, like you know, with contracts, but we.

Speaker 3 (37:07):
Know how that works.

Speaker 5 (37:08):
I need a gambling red zone. I need. I need
like like Stanford Steve and like a few of the
DJs at ESPN. I want, I want, like, if we're
going to do college football red zone, let's do a
college football gambling red zone, because because let's be honest,
the South Carolina LSU and five other SEC games. I

(37:28):
can watch that regularly. But if it's college football and
it's three thirty and I'm look, I have two or
three TVs every Saturday when I'm home, and at least
one of them has a mid major on, Like, I
need somebody that can do the the entire thing. It
can't just be ESPN. It's the Sea, right, I need you.

Speaker 2 (37:49):
You're spot on because what happens and late October November,
maybe hell even earlier than that, probably you know, first
week of October, second week of October. You know, now
instead of focusing on the big dogs, the teams that
are gonna be national championship aspirations, come on, man, it's
a three thirty game.

Speaker 3 (38:07):
You got Wake Forest versus Duke. You know, like, we
need to know more about the spread.

Speaker 2 (38:12):
You better have somebody who knows the total coming in,
maybe some first half lines, whatever it may be. That
obviously it would entice I viewer to watch a little
bit more, but make things interesting. So I think you're right.
If you're gonna do a red zone, it have a
little bit of a gambling angle to it.

Speaker 7 (38:27):
Many embraced to get to get Duke brought up, but
Tansy's right spot on on the name Stanford.

Speaker 4 (38:37):
Steve is the guy who should host that one hundred.

Speaker 5 (38:40):
By the way, you're not a true college football fan
if you won't have like FAU Maryland or Mississippi State
Southern miss watching on the side. While we were watching
Texas Ohia State. It's the first week of college football season.
Yeah it's Texas Ohio State. It's one versus two. But
you're damn right. There's gonna be a bet on one
of those other noon games. And know it's Northwestern Twulane,

(39:01):
whatever it may be, there will be a second teav
This is how we operate as college football.

Speaker 7 (39:08):
Steve Angeli and Syracuse as a live dog in Neiland
Stadium against Tennessee.

Speaker 2 (39:13):
I I don't.

Speaker 4 (39:14):
Know, all right?

Speaker 5 (39:18):
Is it?

Speaker 4 (39:18):
Oh? Is it?

Speaker 5 (39:19):
Yeah? It's in Atlanta?

Speaker 4 (39:20):
Like it more?

Speaker 5 (39:21):
Now?

Speaker 4 (39:21):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (39:22):
I like that all right? Quickly on this one did
come across the list, love.

Speaker 2 (39:26):
A good list, especially preseason, and we could talk about
some quarterbacks. How about the top twenty five best college
football quarterbacks of the last twenty five years. Of course
takes us back to two thousand. I'm just curious, is
it unanimous? Will you guys be able to tell me
who's number one on that list?

Speaker 4 (39:45):
Is it Cam?

Speaker 3 (39:48):
Joe Beef?

Speaker 2 (39:52):
I got t bo I would think No, Cam, I
frozen No, you froze Young zero for three Joe Burrow.

Speaker 3 (40:01):
Joe Burrow is number one.

Speaker 2 (40:04):
No, I know you did not say that, but no, yeah, no, no,
Mark Hemreck, junr had Joe Burrow.

Speaker 3 (40:12):
Uh.

Speaker 2 (40:12):
And of course this is the top t This isn't
just for a season, so it's the quarterbacks in the
past twenty five years. But it is one Joe Burrow,
Cam Newton, two, three, Vince Young, four, Tim Tebow and
then five Matt Lioner.

Speaker 3 (40:28):
Those are your five.

Speaker 4 (40:30):
Where's Johnny?

Speaker 2 (40:32):
It goes Lamar six, Baker seven, Johnny eight, Trevor nine,
and then.

Speaker 3 (40:39):
Marcus Mariota at Oregon in ten.

Speaker 5 (40:41):
Who is to make You can make the case Joe
Burrow should be outside the top five?

Speaker 4 (40:46):
Who is three? Four? Five? Liner was five? Who was
three and four?

Speaker 2 (40:50):
Cam Newton was two, Vince Young was three, Tim Tebow
four Matt Liner, Liner five.

Speaker 5 (40:56):
Be it should be Cam, Vince Tibo Liner in some order,
and then and Johnny that's the Fine family had one
year too.

Speaker 4 (41:06):
I think Camon Burrow, Cavin. I mean, Burrow had more
than one year, but it's really you're only talking about
the one year. The first year they went like eight
and four.

Speaker 7 (41:14):
It's I do think Cavion Burrow had the two best seasons.
It becomes difficult to like, do you compare one season
to like Tibo had like a four year run or
whoever you want to say. If we're doing like who
had the best runs? Kellen Moore went like like fifty
six and three or whatever. Its four years there at

(41:34):
Boise State. But yeah, I think you could argue Baker
maybe belongs a little higher if we're just talking about
like guys who were there for a while and put
up big numbers for a while.

Speaker 4 (41:46):
One a Heisman, Tibo, and Manziel.

Speaker 5 (41:49):
If we're talking overall package in college football are one
two cultural impact, like very very easily one two, and
then you can do the rest.

Speaker 4 (42:01):
I mean, yeah, look, Cam was a huge deal too.

Speaker 5 (42:03):
Yeah, Kim was. But I think if you're talking like
overall bodywork, seasons. Oh yeah, yeah, it's it's gotta be
t Bow and Manzel or the two that were just
Generation RG three.

Speaker 3 (42:14):
I hate to say he had all of the season two.

Speaker 4 (42:16):
Oh yeah, it's just je Watlin too.

Speaker 7 (42:19):
RG three's mattered less than like Canon Burroughs because they're
at nine and three.

Speaker 4 (42:23):
Same with Like Lamar, who I loved.

Speaker 3 (42:25):
But all right, we'll wrap up on this one.

Speaker 2 (42:28):
I know everybody's been doing their deep dives and digging
a little bit more. So I was wondering if you
could wow us on the way out with a stat.

Speaker 3 (42:35):
Or a trend, or a play or something.

Speaker 2 (42:37):
That has caught your attention over the last two weeks
since the last time we met. Once again, we got
live action in two weeks, ladies and gentlemen. It opens
up Iowa State, Kansas State on August the twenty third.
Then speaking of Boise State, they get the party started
the following Thursday, on August twenty eight, at five thirty pm.

Speaker 3 (42:57):
The heck, their house.

Speaker 2 (42:58):
Is going to be on fire in two weeks, beef,
Have you dug anything up that's made you push one
way or the other here?

Speaker 6 (43:06):
I think as we get a little closer to the season,
I'm buying a little bit more in on Michigan. Last
year they lost five games.

Speaker 5 (43:13):
I think it will or excuse me not Michigan.

Speaker 6 (43:15):
USC they losto combined five games by nineteen total points.
So you know, the ball bounces one way or the other,
that could be a nine win team, I think last year.
I like my ava In the second year for USC,
I think they have a pretty doable schedule, So I
like USC kind of to have a bounce back year
nine wins to ten wins potentially.

Speaker 3 (43:37):
I thought that was a difficult schedule. You got Oregon,
you got Notre Dame.

Speaker 2 (43:41):
Look again, I think everyone could sit here and pick
apart anybody's schedule, but I was looking at USC for
my last pick, and I thought it was a pretty
difficult schedule.

Speaker 3 (43:51):
What do you see? And that makes it a little
life easier. Illinois.

Speaker 2 (43:54):
That's a team with expectations, partly because they don't play
a lot of people, but still there are people that
believe that they're going to do something this year.

Speaker 3 (44:02):
But Notre Dame.

Speaker 2 (44:02):
As I said, on that on that schedule, Michigan on
that schedule, Oregon on that schedule, Iowa on that schedule
could potentially be something to watch this.

Speaker 6 (44:12):
Year, there's only two games that I think they're guaranteed underdogs.
In the rest, I think there's like three or four
coin foot games. And it goes back to what I
said about last year. When you lose five games by
a combined nineteen points, you have to think that's probably
going to go the other way. You know at some
point if not, then you know that's strictly on coaching.

(44:32):
That's strictly like a potentially fireball offense if you're not
able to play any of those close games.

Speaker 5 (44:37):
But you know, they lose the Penn.

Speaker 6 (44:39):
State game last year, they arguably outplay Penn State that
entire time. They lose to Maryland by one. They lost
a handful of these close games that goes the other way.
Instead of last year what they were seven and six,
they're nine and three or ten and three last year,
So I think it bounce back is coming.

Speaker 3 (44:55):
I really like my.

Speaker 6 (44:56):
Ava in the second year for Lincoln. He's made three
Heisman winning corps. This guy's going to be at least,
you know, in the running. If this team is pretty decent.

Speaker 3 (45:05):
Tansey, you dig anything.

Speaker 5 (45:06):
Up, No, but I'll give you a hot take. Bring
it Georgia Tech's gonna one of my double digits and
Boulder week one Friday night on ESPN.

Speaker 3 (45:20):
I would love to see it.

Speaker 2 (45:22):
What is what's the spread in that is at six
for four?

Speaker 5 (45:28):
Yeah, I think I take the all up to like eleven.

Speaker 4 (45:31):
Wow.

Speaker 2 (45:32):
Now, from everything I've read, they have a decent quarterback
in Colorado, it seems like they have a better team
on the inside, a little bit more beef up front
on offense.

Speaker 5 (45:42):
All Georgia Tech Haynes King has had a better season
last year, one of the better dual threat quarterbacks. I
just I like a lot what Georgia Tech is uh
is cooking up.

Speaker 2 (45:55):
Yeah, look, there's not some not expectations, but I guess
the belief is there.

Speaker 3 (46:01):
Let's put it that way for Georgia.

Speaker 5 (46:03):
Tech, which is more than you can more than you
can say it. You were at to chech In in
a while.

Speaker 3 (46:07):
Long time, long time.

Speaker 2 (46:09):
You're right about that, since they were running the wishbone
triple option.

Speaker 5 (46:12):
All right.

Speaker 2 (46:15):
Over to you, Mark every junior, anything that you have
stumbled out across over these last two weeks.

Speaker 7 (46:20):
Everybody else is going positive. Of course me so negative.
I'll go pessimistic. There's a team out there with a
win total that I just don't understand. And it's in
the SEC. I mean, how many SEC teams if we've
thrown out there today and this team has not come up,
and I'll throw out some names here. There are one
counting on radio is always electric, Three, four, five, six,

(46:41):
six teams with a win total of seven and a half.
The first five you've got Oklahoma, Missouri, Florida, South Carolina,
Texas A, and M. All of those are around minus
one ten give or take. You know, a bedible number
really at seven and a half.

Speaker 4 (46:57):
And all those teams.

Speaker 7 (46:59):
Have something to be excit right, like Oklahoma, whether you're
in on him or not, John Mattier, Jade not. Those
are big names to go get. Tough schedule, but there's
some talent there. Missouri really easy schedule. If you're buying
in on them, you could eat. I know Brandon Walker
thinks they're gonna be like ten and two. Florida we've
you know DJ Lagway, there's a lot to be excited

(47:19):
about in Florida, South Carolina defense, Leonora Sellers, win in
the Heisman, Texas A and M. I have him going
ten to two and going to the playoff. And then
the other team that's seven and a half, And that's
different than all these other teams minus one seventy at
seven and a half is Auburn. Why is Auburn gonna
win eight games this year? Looking through their schedule here,

(47:40):
let's skipping the easy games because they have five gimmes.
But other than the five gimmes, I'm not sure that
there's six wins.

Speaker 4 (47:49):
On this schedule. Let alone.

Speaker 7 (47:50):
You start at Baylor. We've talked on here before. We
like Sawyer Robertson. I love Baylor in that matchup. Baylor's
two and a half point home dog. There, Baylor, and
then you get a couple of easy games. You go
at Oklahoma at Texas A and m Georgia at home,
Missouri at home.

Speaker 4 (48:08):
That's four in.

Speaker 7 (48:09):
A row, and then you know Arkansas on the road.
That's maybe we're gonna call that a gimme for this purpose.
Kentucky at home, we'll call that a gimme for this purpose.
At Vandy, we'll call that a gimme for this purpose.
And you still have Alabama coming to town.

Speaker 4 (48:21):
Like I just that's a lot of tough games right there.

Speaker 7 (48:25):
I know people like Jackson Arnold, he hasn't shown any
reason to like him. So I people like Hugh Freeze,
people like Auburn.

Speaker 4 (48:33):
People think they've paid all this money.

Speaker 7 (48:35):
I think if there I know that there's like Auburn
fans who want him fired right now, aren't happy.

Speaker 4 (48:40):
With what he did in the transfer portal or recruiting
and all that stuff.

Speaker 7 (48:44):
I don't get the Auburn, but no one's I was
gonna say, I don't get the Auburn buzz.

Speaker 4 (48:48):
There isn't any Auburn buzz. Nobody's buzzing about Auburn. Nobody's
about Auburn. But Vegas seven and a half at minus
one seventy, I haven't even looked at with the juices
on the under. I'm assuming it's like one forty though.
I love that number, maybe my favorite under in college football.

Speaker 2 (49:04):
They are plus twenty eight hundred to win the SEC
championship game.

Speaker 3 (49:08):
And I know that those are really difficult. That's a
difficult market to win.

Speaker 2 (49:12):
But some of these conferences you could hear and some
people start making the case for some of these teams,
and it's like, yeah, I could see that team in
a national championship game, and if they're there, then they
got a pretty good shot at winning it, and we'll
see what happens.

Speaker 3 (49:24):
But really intriguing to see how this is going.

Speaker 2 (49:26):
To be all playout as far as conference champions are concerned,
win totals, all that will get the questions answered very
very soon. As I said, college football season are right
around the corner.

Speaker 3 (49:36):
Can't wait.

Speaker 2 (49:37):
I would just say the last week or so speaking
of teams speaking highly and just getting me to believe
a little bit more. And I don't know, I don't
know if I was doubting them, but yeah, it seems
like that I'm starting to sip on the Clemson juice.
You look at what they are doing defensively. Look what
they had did defensively last year. They struggled, They had
one of their worst defensive years since Essentially Dabbo has

(50:02):
been running what they win eight eight out of the
last nine conference titles. It's incredible to run that they aren't.
So I wasn't buying him. It wasn't a matter of like,
who you know, doubting them. It was more along the
lines of, like, could we see Louisville a new team
come out of nowhere in the conference. But it is feeling,
oh yeah, like you said two, L's up. It is

(50:23):
feeling like Clemson will be there. We'll see, we'll see again.
Great week one matchup between LSU and Clemson.

Speaker 3 (50:31):
So really excited.

Speaker 2 (50:32):
And Kolbe checking in, Yeah, real quick, Kolbe mars show
LSU plus four and a half in coming about it.

Speaker 4 (50:38):
He likes that.

Speaker 3 (50:39):
He says, the boys are buzzing. His heart's fluttering. Yeah,
we are blessed to be a part of this right now. Yes,
big college football guy.

Speaker 2 (50:46):
We were talking in Chicago, Mikey, P appreciate you hanging
out all show long. It will be interesting to see
if teams that travel three times on Struggle ats again
this year.

Speaker 3 (50:56):
Mikey, I'd love to know that number. I'd love to
know that number.

Speaker 5 (51:00):
It was really low. It was under twenty percent, I
believe straight out.

Speaker 3 (51:04):
Well, we like those trends.

Speaker 2 (51:05):
We'll top on them all right, boys, excellent stuff again.
Next week we're gonna be a little bit all over.
But bottom line is the following week, we'll give you
one more episode before we get this bad boy started man.
