College Football Betting Preview: Week 3 -- 9/10/24

Joe Tansey, Ryan "BEEF" Coyle", and Mark Henry Jr. preview Week 3's #CollegeFootball action, but first... WHAT HAPPENED TO NOTRE DAME!?

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:20):
Well, every want to welcome on into Week three of
the college football betting Preview with myself, Joe Tansey, Ryan
Beef Coyle, and Mark Henry Junior. Two of us were
very happy with how Week two played out. The third
still recovering. Mark, do we want to just get it
out of the way now?

Speaker 2 (00:38):
Are you talking gambling or are we talking about my
favorite team?

Speaker 1 (00:43):
You know what I'm talking about?

Speaker 2 (00:45):
Yeah, and yeah, we can get it out of the
way here. I think it's I think it's absolute bs
that I'm the only person on this podcast that asked,
what did the guy do you guys remember the guy
from Florida's state who said he would do something online
at Yeah, I'm the only person that has to be

(01:08):
forced to eat poop live on streams here on podcasts
because I have a favorite team. I'm not agnostic like
you people, but now I am Notre Dame lost to
twenty eight and a half point underdog or favorite. I
don't have anything like. It's an absolute disaster on levels
that have unbefore seen at the university. There's absolutely no

(01:29):
way to fix it. I don't know how any Notre
Dame fan ever gets excited again. You look at a
schedule and you think some games are tough, some games
are easy. No games ever gonna be considered easy again
for the next twenty years. This is exactly how people
are going to talk about Notre Dame. Nothing can change that.
I don't know how you let Marcus Freeman coach. Next year,
they will it's las fair attitude. They'll be eight and

(01:53):
four this year. They'll do the same thing. Next year,
they'll lose to a MAC team. It's the program's basically over.

Speaker 1 (02:00):
They're dead. To me.

Speaker 2 (02:01):
I think that. I don't know what else you guys
want me to say, Like is this fun? Is this
good radio? Is this good podcasting? I don't think it is.
But that's where I'm at. I don't think there's any way.
And then like they should them being ranked eighteenth is
a joke. Northern Illinois went seven and six in the
MAC last year, Like Notre Dame should be totally removed

(02:23):
from all conversations going forward this season.

Speaker 1 (02:26):
They should absolutely have no chance.

Speaker 2 (02:28):
I don't care if they win their next ten games
by an average of thirty points per game. You cannot
get into a college football postseason when you lose at
home as a twenty eight and a half point favorite
to Northern Illinois. It's a joke and I'd kill any
program that it happened to. Of course, it's the one
that I root for, so I for the rest of

(02:49):
this year. I'm an agnostic college football fan, and I
don't know if they'll ever get me back.

Speaker 1 (02:55):
Well, on that note, it is a twelve team playoff,
and we've flipped from they'll be favored in every game
they have to make the playoff to now they're eighteenth
and the eight people have just lost to a MAC team.
So beef, I'll go to you the more objective point
of view here in this world of the twelve team

(03:15):
playoff right where who knows it's how the entire season
is going to play out. It's only Week two, not
a lot of craziness for everybody. Yet, so with the
way at least the the facts have played out with
or State not looking good, the entire ACC not looking great.
That affects Notre Dame because they play a lot of

(03:35):
ACC teams. How do we put this in the perspective
of the twelve team playoff? And what does what does
it mean for a Notre Dame because they're still going
to be mentioned if they keep winning regardless of the
Northern Illinois loss, that that's just the way the news
cycle goes.

Speaker 2 (03:56):
They're not going to keep winning. They just lost in
Northern Illinois. Everyone keeps bringing this up, like they're probably
gonna lose to Purdue, Like they just lost to Northern Illinois.
They went seven and six in the MAC last year.
They were picked to coming like seventh. It's they don't
have a returning quarterback. They don't have a return it's
a joke. We're just they're gonna beat Louisville in Florida

(04:17):
State and USC and Purdue and like there's no chance.

Speaker 1 (04:22):
I'm sorry to interrupt, but the so if they're if
they're eleven and one them, well, if they are, it's
a hypothetical. If they're eleven and one, beef, do you
let them in.

Speaker 3 (04:35):
I think they are the biggest Northern Illinois fan the
rest of the year. They want Northern Illinois to go
twelve and zero win the MAC, and then you can
look and say, Okay, maybe it wasn't as bad in hindsight,
like if that game was Week ten instead of Week
two and Northern Illinois was you know, ten and oho
potentially going into that game just say. But I do
think it kind of goes back to the Notre Dame
as an independent conversation as well, where that this is

(04:57):
another circumstance where it hurts them because they could that game,
but just say they were in the ACC go to
the ACC title game and still win it and get
the auto bid, you know, regardless of that non conference law.
So I think that's another kind of talking point of
the twelve team playoff and if they get left out
after going eleven and one, potentially they could look back
and people say, well, if they were in a conference,
they would probably at least be in the conference title game.

(05:20):
I think that's just kind of another talking point. But
I say, eleven and one, there's a lot of ball
left to be played, and they're the biggest Northern Illinois
fan in the world for the rest of the season.
But I think eleven and one they certainly have a
fighter's chance, but it's probably for that eleven spot.

Speaker 2 (05:37):
Them going eleven and one and getting in the playoffs
would be harmful to the program because it would just
perpetuate all the stuff that people talk about Notre Dame
and them getting preferential treatment. No we Yeah, I don't
have money. Yeah, I said it right.

Speaker 1 (05:51):
Well, I think I think from the objective point of view, like, look,
it's a big tarnish on the resume for sure, right,
losing to Northern Hillans and and look, no, no, no, do
we really need to rank them at twenty four?

Speaker 2 (06:06):
They were not like in the game by the way.

Speaker 1 (06:08):
Right, So I think I think maybe taking that is
a little too far. But I don't think we know
completely right, Like we've we've buried Florida State, We've buried Clemson,
we've buried Notre Dame. Those are three teams that a
lot of people thought were going to be in the
mix for the playoff. And with the way the ACC looks,
and we know Miami's track record with Mario cristoball, yes,

(06:31):
they look very good so far. But what happens if
if Miami lays in neck because look they're they're known
to do. So I'm interested to see how the ACC
and how that affects Notre Dame because I think the
Big twelve can get two teams in and if we're
if we're doing that, you know we're fighting for is

(06:52):
it a fourth SEC team? Is it a fourth Big
ten team, or do the fourth teams from those two
conferences get matched up with number two from the ACC
or eleven and one Notre Dame with Northern Illinois lost
a home loss to Northern Illinois on the docket there,
It'll be very fascinating. It's way too early to speaking

(07:13):
in in affirmatives about the college football playoff other than
other than George is gonna be the number one seed, obviously,
but I think it throws a new wrinkle into it
because Notre Dame got crowned right after the A and
M rightfully, so it's a great win, but everybody drank

(07:34):
the kool aid on Notre Dame fell flat back to earth,
and now we're wondering can they make the playoff. I
think that there's a big question mark on. I'm lumping
Notre Dame in with the ACC teams because they've they've
all had some bad losses so far. If I'm looking
at it right now and there's four SEC teams, four

(07:56):
Big ten teams like we've kind of assumed it is
going to be, there's three spots because there's one going
to a group of five team, So who is that?
I guess that third team is it Notre Dame. Is
it a second Big twelve team? Is it a second
ACC team? I think the Big twelve is can be
better conference as a whole than the ACC when this

(08:16):
all shakes out. So it's fascinating. It's still very early.
A lot of football will be played, a lot of
upsets will still happen, some surprise teams will come in.
But it is nice that the college football Playoff is
at least being mentioned this early on. And it's not
complete chalk, although unfortunately at Mark's dismay. So let's move

(08:38):
on our segment stock up stock down that we brought
in last week, and let's start with the playoff. Guys,
stock up stock down. One team that is rising up
the board in your mind to reach the twelve team playoff,
and one team like a Notre Dame that you think
had a bad week that will affect their status. Beef,
I'll start with you on that.

Speaker 4 (08:58):
I'll go for my stock op.

Speaker 3 (09:00):
I'm gonna go out to Lincoln and take the corn
Huskers there. We've talked about it several times that this
is a team that's probably going to start seven to
oh and it also is looking like a team that
isn't going to drop the games kind of like they
were last year. They were a seven eight win team
last year if they didn't shoot themselves in the foot
half the time. Now this year, it appears, at least

(09:20):
off to start that they're not going to be a
team that's shooting themselves in the foot. And that atmosphere
and Lincoln on Saturday night looks crazy like I don't
think anyone is going in there winning this year, So
you can chalk up pretty much all those home games
as a win.

Speaker 4 (09:33):
You got to go to Ohio State and they.

Speaker 3 (09:35):
Had another tough one. Off the top of my head,
it might have been USC. Yeah is that at home?

Speaker 4 (09:40):
Or is that? Is that on the road? Okay?

Speaker 3 (09:42):
Yeah, So I mean even in that scenario, if those
are your two losses, you're ten and two.

Speaker 4 (09:47):
You're definitely flirting with the playoff spot there.

Speaker 3 (09:49):
If you beat somehow USC or Ohio State, you're one
hundred percent in. But seven and oh, I think for
sure we'll see what happens at Ohio State. Probably chalk
that up as an l But that defense is scary.
The quarterback's only going to get better as the year
goes on, and I think as a team that plays
really confident and you have I think one of the
top five coaches in all of college football league and

(10:09):
the way they're in Matt rules.

Speaker 4 (10:10):
So Nebraska on the rise for sure.

Speaker 1 (10:12):
Yeah, Colorado is who we thought they were. I don't
think that's any kind of incredible statement to make about them.
Like if you watch the game against North Dakota State,
they struggled at times with the quarterback presidence in the pocket.
They needed to play an elite defense and have a
great performance against an elite defense to prove that things

(10:34):
have changed year over year. They haven't. I mean, there's
all sorts of rumblings coming out of Boulder right now
with Sugar Sanders being selfish. I mean, some of the
postgame comments don't look great. And if you're looking further
out as an NFL you know scout, it's not like
he's covering himself in glory either. So it'll be interesting

(10:54):
to see how the Colorado experiment ends up unfolding, because
that could own wrap very very quickly in Colorado State.
We'll get we might get to it later on, but
Colorado State played them tough last year in Boulder, and
that game's down for Collins this week. It'd be interesting
to see how that goes. Mark, Who is your stuck
up in the college football playoffs.

Speaker 2 (11:15):
It's got to be Tennessee with how they looked in
Charlotte against NC State, And you mentioned in the playoff conversation,
isn't going to be a fourth SEC team? I think
the conversation is, isn't going to be a fifth SEC team?
I think you can lock in that there's going to
be four Georgia. I think Georgia, Texas, Tennessee. I'm pretty
confident all three of them are going to be in.

(11:36):
And then I think it comes down to, you know,
the Missouri's, the Ole misses, the Alabama's to kind of
duke it out for maybe one or two of those spots.
But Tennessee is becoming one of the teams that I'm
most confident will make the playoff. And that's saying a
lot with you know, a trip to Oklahoma coming up,
Alabama going to Knoxville, and you have at Georgia. So

(11:59):
those are three big games outside of that though not
a lot of chances to slip up. Can stay at Arkansas,
Florida at home Kentucky and who looked terrible last week
at home, Mississippi State at home, UTEP at home, Vandy
on the road, which is basically at home for Tennessee.
So it's they basically have three hard games. If they

(12:23):
go one and two in those games. In those games,
they're a lock to get in. I think they go
zero and three.

Speaker 4 (12:28):
There might still be a conversation.

Speaker 2 (12:31):
To get them in at nine and three, but I
think Tennessee's pretty much a locke at this point.

Speaker 1 (12:37):
I will go up on the Big Twelve. I'm the
last look. It could have gotten real acc is very
disastrous for the Big Twelve. This past weekend, Oklahoma State
involved in a shootout with Arkansas that could have gone
really bad for them. They ended up escaping in overtime
in Kansas State, pulling off a strong second half on

(12:57):
the road at two lane. Now, either of those wins
are going to get Kansas State and Oklahoma State further
up the rankings, right, but it kept them there and
I think that's important for the winning mentality, kind of
the mental side of things in the Big Twelve. We're
gonna see Kansas State in a real big matchup with
Arizona on Friday night. We've seen Oklahoma State play some

(13:21):
decent opponents in South Dakota State and FCS powerhouse in Arkansas.
Defense needs to be a little bit better, but at
least with the Big Twelve, they maintained their position this week.
They didn't go full ACC and if we're talking about
a pinch for what one spot, maybe two depending on
how things shake out over the season, those top tier

(13:43):
Big Twelve teams have to win at every opportunity to
keep themselves up at least around that top twelve in
the rankings so that they can pounce and move up
when other teams lose. So I think, in terms of
just maintaining their spot, Kansas State and Oklahoma State a
really nice job of gutting out those wins. Wasn't pretty,
but able to just get those wins that way, they're

(14:06):
still in the conversation because I think the margins are
super thin for anybody in the ACC or the Big
Twelve this year.

Speaker 2 (14:13):
I think we've got almost like a Big twelve playoff
game on Friday a little bit. So, yeah, it's fun and.

Speaker 1 (14:19):
It's gonna be a lot of those I think. I
think the Big Twelve is gonna end up being not
the best conference but in terms of just like batshit
crazy games, it's gonna take over the PAC Twelves Mantle
for sure. On that. Do I have to go to
you Mark? Can we just say Notre Dames are stock down?

Speaker 2 (14:36):
Yeah? Yeah, I mean it's I'll just Marcus Freeman doing
that in year three after losing to Marshall and Stanford earlier.
It's never going to get recovered. And we can talk
about the playoffs this year all we want. I think
it's a hilarious conversation to have there, Like plus three seventy,
no one in the world is going to want to

(14:57):
back Notre Dame making the playoff after losing Northern Illinois.
But taking all that aside, that's why I think the
conversation about that loss is not about this year. It's
about Marcus Freeman and the era that people thought, you know,
he was building that. There's all the stats about the
third year Notre Dame coaches. Even Charlie Weiss had a
good third year, Brian Kelly went twelve to zero. Like

(15:17):
pretty much every Notre Dame coach in their third year
has had a great season. Marcus Freeman cannot have a
great season this year, no matter what happens. So it's
I just I think he's done for.

Speaker 1 (15:29):
Beef. Who's your stuck down this week in the playoff?

Speaker 4 (15:32):
I'll go Michigan.

Speaker 3 (15:33):
I came on here last week saying that Texas was
gonna dog walk them up and down the field, and
it was the first possession that Texas had, third and thirteen.
Gus Johnson even said, oh, and Texas gets off the
field prematurely, he said that, and then quin Yours has
a nice throwdown field on third and thirteen and was
kind of from there wasn't a sweat. They did everything
they wanted with ease, push Michigan around at the line

(15:55):
of scrimmage, and.

Speaker 4 (15:57):
You were bad out.

Speaker 3 (15:58):
He went into the big house, and I don't think
they broke a sweat Texas. That was as easy as
it comes. Davis Warren, he is who we thought he was.
Alex Orgie must be terrible if they're not even giving
him a chance. They don't even give him a chance
early kind of in the second half, decides to put
him in for a couple plays, and when he comes
in the game, how blatantly obvious.

Speaker 4 (16:17):
Can it be that they are running the ball.

Speaker 3 (16:19):
I just think it's a broken offense that's not gonna
be able to throw the ball.

Speaker 1 (16:22):
Year.

Speaker 3 (16:23):
Sure, if they get you know, Minnesota, Michigan State schools
like that, these kind of mid tier Big Ten teams,
they'll be able to still win those games, I think.
But you're definitely looking more of a seven and five
dare I say six and six type season rather than
the historic season that they had last year.

Speaker 1 (16:41):
I don't mean to beat up on this program, but Oregon,
what's going on there? Weird?

Speaker 4 (16:50):
I've got a hupper over the panic button.

Speaker 1 (16:54):
See it's weird, right because they're two and oh they're
top ten team but barely scratched out of against Idaho,
barely scratched out a win against Boise State, and you
start to wonder, right, is Oregon can be up for
these big games? Like what is actually going to happen
to the Ducks when they face the Ohio States in

(17:15):
the world. It really is kind of concerning that. Look,
these could be early season struggles. They get things out
of the way and they improve throughout the season, but
at least for now, things have to be a little
bit concerning with Oregon, given what they look like compared
to everybody else in the Big ten. Ohio State looks fine.
Penn State, you know, could have had a better Week two,

(17:36):
but they did win on the road in Week one,
so I think we can squarely put them at either
two or three in the Big Ten. Michigan losing definitely
helped them, But what if USC ends up being pretty decent,
and what if one or two other Big Ten teams
sneak in there? Oregon spot in the college football playoffs
could get a little dicey. So look, they're two and zero.
That's okay, but I think they'd like a better foundation

(18:00):
to build on for sure. So let's move on now
to our Heisman Trophy stock up stock down. I'll start
with you, Mark whose stock is rising after Week two
in the Heisman Trophy brace.

Speaker 2 (18:17):
I don't know if a running back can even win
the Heisman anymore. It feels like, when's the last one?
Is it mark Ingram? I'm trying to think Derrick Henry,
that's after mark Ingram. You're right, I might be Henry.
That's the last running back who's wanted. It's become such
a quarterback award. Obviously DeVonta had one, but I would

(18:38):
say it has to be Ashton. Johnsy from Boise State.
You have to bring him up and just how good
he's been. And now the fact that he had kind
of a game where he did it on the biggest
level against Oregon after Week one kind of doing it
in a little bit of a showcase game there too.
So I think you at least have to have to
bring him up and put him in the early kind

(18:59):
of coma. He had twenty five carries for one hundred
and ninety two yards and three touchdowns against the Oregon
He was pretty much the reason that they were in
that game. So I did say that about a running
back against the team that we're supposedly talking about the
title contender. I think he's got to be in the conversation.

Speaker 1 (19:15):
He's up to plus twenty two hundred now. He's in
the top ten at Draftings Sportsbook. It was eighty to
one during the game. It was fifty to one yesterday.
He's moving up. Man, Yeah, Beef, who's your stock up
in the Heisman race this week?

Speaker 3 (19:31):
Mine's a favorite as of right now, Quinn yours at
plus six hundred. I just think on Saturday that was
kind of a If it was later in the season,
it would have been like that Heisman moment type game
only week two, so it might get forgotten a little
bit as we go down the season, but he walked
into there and he really had his way with Michigan
and what's supposed to be a championship level defense, people

(19:53):
even saying the best defensive line in the country. Give
credit to his supporting cast and the offensive line Sarkisian
as well, but for him to go in there and
really make that look easy in ann Arbor, that was
a pretty eye opening performance. And it's a guy that
we know is really good. He was only ten to one,
I think like third lowsids to start the season, but
still he's got to be the favorite as of right now.

Speaker 4 (20:16):
So stocked up for sure.

Speaker 1 (20:17):
For me quin yours, I'll go super Chalky Jackson Dart.
He leads the FBS in passing with seven hundred and
ninety five yards. Look, Ole Miss has played nobody. I'm
not going to debate that, but the fact that he's
put up those numbers and has gotten off to a
strong start and expected strong start by the way, because
of returning inside that offense. Again, look Ole Miss is

(20:38):
you know they're at Wake Forest this week. I don't
think that's gonna be much of a test. But they're
gearing up for SEC play and doing it in the
right fashion, and it kind of goes to my point
about Oregon. There's a little bit of questions about Oregon.
Ole Miss doesn't seem to be any questions about where
Old Miss stands right now. They're a top five team. Yes,
I know they've they've played two really weak teams, but

(21:01):
still they've gotten a job done. You're supposed to beat
who you're supposed to beat, and they've done it in
pretty emphatic fashion, with Jackson Dart leading the FBS in passing.

Speaker 2 (21:10):
I have a question, because you mentioned that they haven't
played anybody going forward, why would you ever play anyone
if you're in the SEC with the SEC schedule they like,
I don't blame these SEC skills at all for for
not and Big ten same thing. So just I'm just
a quick take ont the fire out.

Speaker 1 (21:27):
No, I agree.

Speaker 4 (21:27):
I wanted to start the game the other day too.
I think that was an SEC record for Dark.

Speaker 1 (21:32):
Yeah, I know, I agree with that. If you're in
the SEC and you're playing nine, you know, maybe if
it gets to ten at some point games in conference play,
why would you end up playing a non marquee, non
conference game, especially if you're you're old miss. Look, you're
probably guaranteed to play three or four of the big
dogs in the SEC, regardless of how your schedule rotation

(21:52):
works out. I think that's definitely a conversation that a
lot of athletic directors are having with their football coaches
right now.

Speaker 2 (21:59):
You don't to Florida yourself? Where you where you schedule Miami,
and then you're looking down the line and it's like,
wait a second, we play seven in the top SEC
teams here, which is I mean, man, there's just like
I can't imagine, why would you schedule in Miami if
you're Florida.

Speaker 1 (22:15):
Well that's I mean, that's regional rivalries too, you know,
but you have you have to balance that though, right
because if you're Florida and look, you have a long
standing history with Miami and Florida State, Like, why would
you continue those those two series when you have an
even bigger SEC?

Speaker 2 (22:34):
Right and probably slought it up with Notre Dame.

Speaker 1 (22:38):
Right Like it's it really is kind of the the
balancing act of yes, we'd love to play these and
keep tradition going, but at the same time, I want
to cost myself a win when I can play Middle
Tennessee State in Week two and and get that win,
or at least for most teams get that win. You know,
Florida's that had some issues too.

Speaker 2 (22:57):
And to me, everyone loves to bring up the Notre
Dame conference thing, and this does tie in. I don't
really care either way about it. If they joined one, fine,
if they do what they currently are doing, fine, But
the way that I look at it is I do
think it might get tough for Notre Dame to schedule
twelve games and you get enough kind of guys on there,
because why would you schedule Notre Dame if you're if

(23:18):
you're anyone other than Northern Illinois, I guess, but I
don't know why you would schedule Notre Dame if you
Texas A and M or one of those types of teams.
And if you're Notre Dame, you're going to one at
least have a couple of those kind of big showcase
games throughout your schedule. You don't want to be Washington
State playing like nobody basically, So that's kind of the
interesting balancing act of why they might join a conference

(23:39):
I think.

Speaker 1 (23:40):
Well, I think the if the scheduling alliance with the
ACC falls apart, then then it becomes big time. At
least was it six seven games against the ACC every year?

Speaker 2 (23:52):
I think it's six, Yeah.

Speaker 1 (23:53):
So you at least have that as your backbone, and
then you can kind of fill out and look, Notre
Dame still puts butts in steats. Yeah, I think that's also.

Speaker 4 (24:02):
The marked anymore.

Speaker 1 (24:04):
Not Mark, But there's plenty of other hundreds of thousands
of fans that will either travel elsewhere.

Speaker 2 (24:13):
Maybe they should be louder in the stadium then, because
it sounds like a funeral every time they get behind
by a touchdown in that stadium. It's one of the
worst things about the program. So that's the whole other thing.
That's just because we have a bunch of eighty year
old fans that are that are still going to every game.
But that's a whole other conversation.

Speaker 1 (24:31):
Be if you're stocked down in the Hutsman race.

Speaker 4 (24:35):
My stock down in the Heisman race.

Speaker 3 (24:38):
Avery Johnson, the guy that I've talked a lot about
throughout the off season. I got him at twenty five
to one. I think he's now fifty to one. I
was expecting a couple of big performances out of the
gate and two lanes, no cupcake, but ut Martin, he
didn't really light it on fire either. And I was
watching a lot of that Kansas State two lane game.
I had to turn it off about halfway through. I
turn it all in with like the last five minutes.

(25:00):
But they play a real kind of boring offense, a
lot of like horizontal passing. I was expecting them to
kind of unleash him as more of a weapon so far,
and it's still you know, in an early season, it's
still the season is still young, it's a lot of
big games and you know, national stage on Friday nights.
I kind of put himself back in that conversation. But
he's been disappointing to me so far, and I thought
I thought.

Speaker 4 (25:19):
We just would have seen a little bit more out
of him in Kansas State.

Speaker 1 (25:22):
That might be a We talked about it being a
big twelve elimination game. That might be a high Heisman
dark horse elimination.

Speaker 4 (25:30):
Also a non conference game on Friday.

Speaker 2 (25:32):
Yeah, Yeah, there's something about it.

Speaker 1 (25:34):
Yeah, there's some there's some weird ones out there that
I think there was one last week in the ACC
as well.

Speaker 4 (25:39):
That was like that, it's Taylor in Utah was non confidence.

Speaker 1 (25:43):
Yeah, that's what it was. Yeah, I'm gonna pick on
Colorado again this week. Last week I said, don't bet
on Shooter Sanders, Travis Hunters, You're pick from Colorado. Look
the odds tell you everything. Travis Hunter was plus twenty
two hundred win the Heisman about this time last week.
He's down the plus five thousand. He is not getting

(26:03):
anywhere near the conversation. If Colorado is as bad as
as we think they are, it's just that simple. The
best player in college football on a four or five
lost team is not winning the Heisman.

Speaker 2 (26:18):
Trophy, and they're gonna be more than they might. They'd
be lucky to be a four. I had him at
four and eight before the year. This is gonna be
a make or break week here for Dion and Colorado.
I'm actually buying. I think I'm I think this might
be the first bet I've ever placed on the coach
Prime Colorado Buffalo's I don't think I've ever bet on

(26:39):
them last year, or I definitely didn't bet on in
the first two weeks this year. I think they're gonna
beat up on Colorado State. I think we're finally gonna
see Shaudor get rid of the ball a little faster
after everything we've seen the last couple of weeks. But
aside from that, I better start seeing some stuff from
Shador that he has any awareness in the pocket and

(27:00):
any awareness of a pass rush. And I understand that
the O line's not good. Some of those plays are
on him. He's handling onto the ball waiting for guys
to get opened down the field. I have legitimate concerns
about him as an NFL prospect in terms of on
the field. And then yeah, the I hate being like
the guy who talks about like does this college quarterback

(27:21):
show the leadership he needs to show at the next level? Like,
I hate, I don't want to ever be that guy.
But I think all the questions that people had about
Caleb Williams are applied tenfold to me about Shador Sanders.
Off the field, there actually real leadership.

Speaker 1 (27:37):
Oh yeah, yeah, I think that the question is will
Colorado's offensive line actually block for him? After the question,
after the comments, yeah, after the Nebraska game, before we
get in the Week three preview, marketers stuck down Heisman race,
I guess I'll just.

Speaker 2 (27:57):
Say Joe Tanzy was right about Riley Leonard. But what
I will say is Riley Leonard apparently had it like
they're now leaking that his ankle injury, he did sit
out all the spring and didn't play the spring game
and all that stuff. They're leaking that that was way
words and now there was a leak that he brought
like tourist left shoulder in his non throwing arm last week.

(28:19):
But he's gonna play through it. I don't understand why
they're not just playing a freshman at this point and
moving on. But Riley Leonard as at least this version
of him who has not looked at all as fast
as he did in twenty twenty two. I'm not even
gonna say twenty twenty three, but yeah, he not obviously
not a Heisman conversation, but just he's done in my opinion.

Speaker 1 (28:39):
Yeah, the injury thing was interesting, right because it's kind
of the it's right out of the playbook of after
a big loss. Of course, it's how it always goes. Unfortunately,
all right, let's get into week three. Let's just say
it's not the best play of games this but this
is where the three of us shine the most to

(29:00):
grind through some of these ugly games to give you
guys some winners. And let's start on Friday Night. We've
hinted at it for most of the show so far.
Arizona and k State, this is gonna be a fun
one Friday night in Manhattan. Like you said, beef doesn't
count as a conference game because of everything that was
scheduled before conference re alignment. Arizona has one of the

(29:22):
best wide receivers in the country in Teterero McMillan. Know
if a feed of their quarterback came on big last
year as well. Avery Johnson, the quarterback at K State,
probably the reason why Will Howard is now at Ohio State.
Case State needed to play him because of all the
nil money involved. Case State coming off a road win
at Tulane. They just got it out. As we mentioned earlier, Arizona,

(29:45):
you know, a decent start to the season as well.
I'll leave this open to you guys. Where do you
see this game going and how fun can it be
between these two contenders in the Big twelve.

Speaker 4 (29:59):
I'll go first.

Speaker 3 (30:01):
I was looking into this one a little bit because
that seven number kind of jumped out to me, I
was like, why, why is that?

Speaker 4 (30:07):
I looked it up. Since Chris Kleiman took.

Speaker 3 (30:09):
Over at Kansas State, he's the second best coach in
the country against the spread.

Speaker 4 (30:14):
That really surprised me. Thirty nine to twenty three and two.

Speaker 3 (30:18):
He's twenty three, twelve and two against the spread as
a favorite, in seventeen.

Speaker 4 (30:22):
And eight against the spread as a home favorite. So
pretty good.

Speaker 3 (30:25):
I guess, you know, beating the market coaches are the
Vegas hasn't been able to kind of get on it.
And right when I saw that, I was like, Arizona
is a seven point dog. I think the defense is
a little bit where he saw. I know, last week
they held Northern Arizona to only ten points, but the
week before was thirty nine against against New Mexico who
is probably going to be a one win team this
year if they're lucky. So the defense might be a

(30:47):
little bit concerning. And I think the style of play
that we have seen from Kansas State, as I was
saying earlier, play a little bit of a boring style
of football. But I think they might be able to
push Arizona around at the line of scrimmage. Game at
Kansas State it seems like a trap line on paper.
It's like, why is Arizona a touchdown over a touchdown favorite?

Speaker 1 (31:05):
Now?

Speaker 3 (31:06):
But I think that I'm not going to fall for
the trap I flipped to Kansas State. But I also
think this could be a fun kind of shootout game
as well, like a forty to thirty type game by
the end of it, maybe even you know, close at halftime,
but Kansas State kind of grinds it out towards the end.

Speaker 1 (31:24):
I think this is a game where coaching comes into
play big time. Chris climb at Kansas State one of
the I don't know if if underrated is the right word,
Maybe not one of the Yeah, I guess underrated, right
because no other people.

Speaker 4 (31:36):
Not talked about much?

Speaker 1 (31:37):
Yeah, exactly all right, don't pay attention to what his
resume is from North Dakota State and then moving into
the FBS. I think this is a game where Arizona
I think is the best individual player in McMillan at
wide receiver, but I think the coaching advantage from from
Climbing to Brennan at Arizona. This is the first true
road game in charge of Arizona. I know he was

(31:59):
at San Jose State in one a handful of games there,
but it's a different level. Stepping up to Friday Night
in Manhattan going to be an incredible crowd. I think
this is a game where we're coaching really matters, and
I think the team, the best team is Kansas State.
The best individual is McMillan on Arizona, but I think
Kansas State schemes up a lot to shut him down.

Speaker 2 (32:20):
Yeah, I'm on an island here with Arizona. I love
Kansas State. I love Chris Climban, So it's not mainly
really fading Kansas State. I think these teams are even
coming into the year. I have him both at ten
and two. I did have Kansas State winning this game
in the preseason, but I watched that two lane game,
and I don't want to overreact about the Kansas State
two lane game and say because I don't think two

(32:41):
lane's a bad team, but just matchup wise. Mackai Hughes,
Tulane's running back twenty one carries one hundred and twenty
eight yards, ripped off a couple long explosive plays six
point one yards to carry Darian Mensa, tu Lane's quarterback
three hundred and forty two yards, like eleven point eight
arth per attempt to touchdowns. There, they had a receiver,

(33:02):
one receiver for one hundred and twenty eight yards, another
receiver for ninety seven yards. It just feels like matchup wise,
if there's something you can pick apart with this uh,
with this Kansas State team, it's the passing defense. And
I think just matchup wise, there might be no worse
big twelve kind of quarterback receiver duo to go up
against with that problem than Fefida McMillan. I think all

(33:22):
the attention goes to McMillan, but I don't think we
talk enough about how good Forefeita is and kind of
how different that program has been since he took over.
Last week, it felt like they kind of they like
didn't even play. I was reading that McMillan like didn't
play as many snaps, and I don't know if they
were kind of just getting him ready for they have
a Friday game instead of a Saturday. They were playing

(33:43):
Northern Arizona, and you know, they was never really in question.
They won twenty two ten, but of a weird game,
but I think that that was probably they're running back.
They were able to run the ball in that game,
but their passing game was a little bit wonky. I
think there. I think this is probably a good spot
to bet the over and a good spot to root
for some points here either way. That you kind of
bet a side.

Speaker 1 (34:03):
Interesting because my ink thing would be towards the under, but.

Speaker 2 (34:07):
That like fifty five and a half and I was
up to like fifty eight and a half.

Speaker 1 (34:10):
Fifty eight and a half right now, Yeah, I would
believe it'll be interesting to see how that line swings
and if we get that point back in case its
favorite get within a touchdown, because that I think that
would be a nice little sweet spot. But it will
be interesting to see That game is in the spotlight.
And weirdly enough, Boston College at Missouri is a top
twenty five game. I don't think it will look like one, though. Guys.

(34:35):
Missouri's defense has been absolutely incredible these first two weeks.
I don't believe they've given up a single point. The
spread is now up to seventeen points, the over under
is fifty four. Look, I've made a lot of money
betting on Thomas Castianos and the Golden Eagles up there,
but man, this feels like BC's going in there for

(34:57):
just a whopping in Colombia.

Speaker 4 (35:00):
I like the under in this game.

Speaker 3 (35:02):
It goes back to what you're saying, Joe about the
defense at the beginning. But they have played Mary State
in Buffalo the first two games, so how much really
does it say? But I go back to too, if the
defense is legit, you look at what Boston College wants
to do with the personnel that they have, led by Cassianos.

Speaker 4 (35:19):
This is a run first team.

Speaker 3 (35:20):
I think they try to keep the ball on the
ground as much as they can to keep that offense
that you know Missouri can go off for fifty points
on a given night with Brady Cook and Luther Burden.
We see at the receiver as well, had a really
good game last week. I think thirteen catches for about
a buck fifty. So Boston College is going to try
and do everything they can to keep that explosive Missouri
offense off the field. And I think they're going to run, run, run,

(35:43):
try and keep this as slow paced as possible. I
think the under is a good player. I could see
it being like a thirty to seventeen type game where
Missouri winds up winning at the end.

Speaker 1 (35:53):
You can tell the networks didn't think this was going
to be a game. Becau's a twelve forty five kick
on the SEC network. But I think everything that rings
true about Missouri from last year with theo Weiz and
Luther Burden and Brady Cook at quarterback, I think that's
the difference maker. I would not be afraid to take
Missouri up to twenty one points, to be honest with you. Look,

(36:15):
I agree with you. That's how Boston College is going
to approach the game. They're going to try and elongate
their drives and take the clocket and burn it and
take the ball out of Missouri's hands. But Missouri's playmakers
are so dynamic and look, yeah, it's two bad opponents,
but for Missouri to not only be up for those games,

(36:38):
but hold those two teams to zero points and kind
of be focused in those games, because how many of
these these teams, these big name programs, just haven't shown
up in week one oor week two against lesser opposition.
This is you know, Missouri's done the kind of the
same thing that Ole miss has done. They've shown up,
They've handled their business, and by the fourth quarter, you know,

(36:59):
everybody is just laughing and joking on the sidelines. I
think Missouri's defense is the real deal. Not gonna say
they'll shut out Boston College, I do. I do think
the Unders in play here just because if this game's
over in the third quarter. I don't think Missouri risks
their their top guys. But yeah, I think Missouri vote
racism in this one.

Speaker 2 (37:19):
I've gotten nothing here. I probably lean towards Missouri, but
I hard to get a read on Boston College without
knowing kind of what Florida State is. I think we
do know what they are, so yeah.

Speaker 1 (37:31):
I think with Boston College, you at least know they
have an identity. Yeah, I think with Bill O'Brien at
a head coach, he's, yes, he's a first year head
coach at BC, but he's been there on the block.
You know what he's gonna do. So I think with that,
we at least know what Boston College is going to
try and do. Whether they're successful or not, it's much different.
And I think Missouri is in a far higher class

(37:54):
than than Florida State even going into the season. Forget
what Florida State has done now, but I think, you know,
at least I was very high on Missouri, and look,
Missouri's got bigger fish to fry, like. I mean, look,
they've got Alabama in October. If they got Oklahoma. That
Vanderbilt game next week might end up being fascinating with
the way that Diego Pap has got them playing right now.

(38:17):
But it is a weird But I think it's a
false kind of top twenty five game where Boston College
is in there because they're a big win over Florida State,
But in reality, I don't think Boston College is the
top twenty five team.

Speaker 4 (38:30):
Yeah big wy Yeah right.

Speaker 1 (38:34):
We look back on it and in the context of
the season back in November, and these aren't actually big wins.
It's it's fascinating to see how these things flip.

Speaker 3 (38:42):
I think I saw their win total now Flora State
six and a half, which.

Speaker 4 (38:46):
Is really Yeah.

Speaker 1 (38:49):
So those are the two rank games, but there's still
some there's some fascinating games on the schedule itself. Alabama
going to Wisconsin will kind of rapid fire through some
of these second tier games. Bama going to Camp Randa
a fifteen and a half point favorite. I guess the
question here is it's not what Alabama can do, is

(39:10):
what can Tyler Van Dyke in Wisconsin do to even
make this look remotely like a game.

Speaker 3 (39:17):
Yeah, I had this circle like as a potential loss
coming into the season. Throughout the off season for Alabama,
I was a little bit higher on Wisconsin then I
ultimately should have been. They've looked to be quite frank
terrible through two weeks Western Michigan I think it was
Week one in South Dakota last week. They haven't been
able to do much at all, And I think it
kind of goes back to why the hell did Luke

(39:39):
Fickle bring this offensive system to Wisconsin. Why didn't you
just stick with what Wisconsin does, and that's run the
football and have great offensive linemen up front. They try
and bring in this spread air a type thing with Longo,
and it hasn't worked it all so far. And I
think if you're gonna do that against Alabama, you better
have success because they could get ugly quick. I know
last week was kind of a dog for against USF,

(40:00):
but Bama scored three touchdowns in the last five point.

Speaker 4 (40:03):
Fifty of that game.

Speaker 3 (40:04):
Like with the Boor calling the plays with Williams, he's
a great at receiver. Milroe can be an explosive player
through the air or on the ground. If if Wisconsin
goes out there and has a couple of three and
outs within you know, thirty seconds of playclock, Alabama could.

Speaker 4 (40:20):
Be up three touchdowns by the end of the first quarter.

Speaker 3 (40:22):
I think this one could get really ugly if if
Wisconsin's not converting early and often, because Alabama can take
the top ball for a lot.

Speaker 1 (40:28):
This is a game where if Alabama had Monty Ball,
Ron Dain, you know, you name your Wisconsin running backs
of the past, they had what they would have a shot.
But I think in terms of matchup wise, man, this
is this is a tough one because the one thing
you want to do against Bama is run the ball,
kind of like similar to what BC would want to

(40:49):
do at Missouri. It is. It is very fascinating. I
don't think the Wisconsin that we see in its current
form as any shot at this Let's.

Speaker 2 (40:59):
Talk of State. Go back to Jonathan Taylor. Ain't walking
through that door.

Speaker 1 (41:03):
Oh we could name Wisconsin running backs all night. Let's
talk about Florida State really quick. There's six and a
half point favored against Memphis, who is one of the
best group of five teams. This spread I believe was
up to like seventeen eighteen before Florida State collapsed in

(41:25):
the first two weeks. What do we make of this game?
Let's saying have a pick, but it is that a
fair line given how much Florida State has struggled.

Speaker 2 (41:36):
Yeah, I think that it should be even lower. To
be quite honest, I think Memphis is gonna win out right, Like,
I think Memphis is just as good as Boston College
and Georgia Tech and come to make the playoff, and
they were I picked Liberty, but they were the team
that when I was going through the group of five,
I picked Liberty because they have such a cupcake schedule.
I think it's gonna be.

Speaker 1 (41:56):
The race to college football.

Speaker 2 (41:59):
But Memphis is the team we should kind of be
rooting for. I think as the team to get in
with Hennigan there, and I think they've got an explosive
passing attack. He's already has four and just seventy yards
on the year, And I think Hennigan is going to
be a guy who terrorizes Florida State's defense, which has
shown they have no pass rush. So I don't know

(42:20):
what Florida State. These guys, they have all these five stars,
all these prospects, and they look horrible. So I don't
think that if they're going to turn the switch on.
I think this team just never is going to gel.
I'm taking Memphis plus six and a half, so I
think there's a chance that it's game. If this game
was played in a month, it would be like a
pick them.

Speaker 1 (42:38):
I think if this game is at a neutral site,
I mean I would, I'd definitely be Olliver Memphid. I
think Seth Hennikans the better quarterback in this game than
than DJ, and I think that's not even I don't
think that's a crazy take to have at this point.
I mean, he's He's had a fantastic college career. Let's
talk about a few more Texas A and M in Florida.

(42:58):
It feels like this is the last time I'm going
to talk about both of these teams all season. With
how deep DSc is, what do you make of this game?

Speaker 3 (43:07):
I think, big picture wise for Florida, if Billy Napier
wants to keep his job, he needs to start DJ
Lagway in this game. Like, really, at this point, what
are you getting out of Graham Mertz?

Speaker 1 (43:17):
You have no.

Speaker 4 (43:17):
Loyalty to him?

Speaker 3 (43:18):
Besides one year of him being your starting quarterback, like
he's been a guy there for four years. Go put
the guy who is a five star freshman just went
out there at four hundred fifty yards and three touchdowns
in his debut. I don't care that it was against Samford.
I turned on and watched him throw the ball. He
was making NFL throws. And it's a scenario two where
if you go six and six this year with DJ

(43:40):
Lagway starting, administration could look at you and be like,
all right, we'll give you another year as long as
he stays, as long as he doesn't hit the portal
or whatever. And DJ Lagway is coming back next year,
We'll give you another year. If you go six and
six with Graham Mertz, you're out of a job probably,
and you're probably not even going six and six. So
I think this is a big, big game for Florida.
That's not beating around the bush there. But they already

(44:03):
reported that. Billiy Napier said both quarterbacks are going to play.
If DJ Lagway is playing less than Graham Mertz, it's
a colossal failure.

Speaker 4 (44:11):
And I'm with Mark with the Marcus Freeman thing.

Speaker 3 (44:13):
Billiy Napier should be fired in the locker room after
the game if they lose that game and Graham Mertz
as a starter.

Speaker 1 (44:19):
Yeah, I think that's a fair take. Is there one
game we'll finish up with this? Is there one game
on the schedule completely let's do the off the radar
one that you have your eyes on from a betting
perspective in Week three, Yeah, I would.

Speaker 2 (44:39):
Look at a big twelve game UCF and TCU. I've
actually got two plays on it. I like the over.
I think that's probably my favorite, my favorite bet in
the game, it would be the over. Both defenses have
not necessarily been the most impressive. I guess you see,
it's been fine. They played absolute cupcakes. UCF is not
supposed to have a good defense whatsoever coming into this year,

(45:02):
not a lot of talent or returning starters there. But
TCU gave up twenty seven to Stanford and watching that
it felt like it could have been more, to be
quite honest, So a couple kind of settle for field
goal situations there, and both teams have kind of exciting
pieces where at quarterback, TCU Loki might have one of
the best quarterbacks in the country in Josh Hoover. He's
already got one hundred and twenty passing yards. He's really

(45:24):
fun to watch, a really, really good quarterback. But the
reason I'm kind of backing UCF is TCU's run defense
has been horrible dating back to last year. You seef
might have one of the best running backs in the
country in r J. Harvey. He is an absolute stud.
This is not real analysis, but I guess now that
we have college football twenty four back in our lives,

(45:47):
I know he was ranked as like a top five
running back by the EA sports people coming into the year,
and I was like, oh, let me look into this
guy because I didn't know much about him in the offseason,
and then you know, checking out what he's done so far.
He's only averaging eight point nine yards per carry on
the ground so with six touchdowns. So I think he's
the reason I'm siding with UCF as a side on

(46:08):
the game. But I like the over. I think it's
gonna be a fun shoot him out game.

Speaker 1 (46:12):
UCFTCU without any analysis. That just sounds like a fun,
like thirty five to thirty type game.

Speaker 2 (46:18):
Yeah, I think it's gonna be like it could be
like forty five forty one.

Speaker 1 (46:21):
Potentially, I would have absolutely no problem with that. But
if you're under the radar game in game in week three.

Speaker 4 (46:28):
You want something really gross.

Speaker 1 (46:30):
Give it to me, because I got I did something
even more gross.

Speaker 3 (46:34):
Well, I'm hoping that it's the same Coastal Carolina minus
eighteen down at Lincoln Financial Field against those Temple Ows.

Speaker 4 (46:42):
I'm back in the Shannon Clears on this one.

Speaker 3 (46:44):
The worst team in college football now, according to the
Power Rankings is those Temple Ows.

Speaker 4 (46:50):
There might be.

Speaker 3 (46:51):
Nine people in Lincoln Financial Field Saturday afternoon for that game.

Speaker 1 (46:55):
But does Coastal have a large following?

Speaker 3 (46:58):
Cos was one of those schools that it gets like
a lot of like random people from like Pa, like
people from my high school.

Speaker 1 (47:05):
Yeah, one of the flights like from Myrtle Beach up
to Philly this.

Speaker 3 (47:09):
Time, no existent, I would say, unless you're coming back
from like a bachelor party mega bus. I think just
faye Temple the rest of the year and you'll make money.
Coastal minus eighteen.

Speaker 1 (47:20):
All right, So mine's even more gross. There's a team
in the Group of five level that ted my attention,
that's been incredibly better than expectations, or at least what
everybody was writing about them. It's Nevada. I will ride
with Nevada plus sixteen and a half at Minnesota. Look,

(47:41):
nothing about the Golden Gophers really me against North Carolina
wasn't really a fan in the opener, and I don't
think they have the overpowering offense to put them away.
And look, Nevada, Nevada's been frisky. They're one and two,
but they played really a really really tight game against SMU.
They played Georgia Southern to the twenty seventeen game, and
they beat Troy on the road. Look, it's obviously a

(48:01):
step up in talent to the Big Ten, but Nevada
is frisky. I will give them that. They've got three
games under there.

Speaker 2 (48:11):
Cot now, I think we might have lost Tansey there.

Speaker 4 (48:15):
I like the under in that game under forty three
and a half.

Speaker 1 (48:20):
Yeah, there's there's a Gopher hack hacking my uh PJA
wires here, Yeah, PJ flex throwing the boat right over
my wires. Yeah, Nevada. Look there, they've played some really
tight games so far. I just don't think Minnesota is
it is worthy of being a seventeen point favorite over
anybody right now?

Speaker 2 (48:40):
Can I can I throw a shout out for an
ugly big ten game in here a little Indiana U
C l A action.

Speaker 1 (48:46):
Oh, I can't believe. I can't believe that's the primetime
game like that, like that is, how that is, how disgusting.
Week three is Game day is going to LSU South
Carolina game. We didn't even mention. I think we're all.
I think we were all in Kentucky last week and
how they know showed against South Carolina, So we're not
even talking about the game. Cocks Indiana Ucla is the
primetime game on NBC. That's disgusting. And I think what

(49:10):
Georgia Kentucky is and what Mark stoops always loses those
games big, So it's not like there's a ton of
expectation for the top teams.

Speaker 2 (49:18):
In Week three, UCLA's running backs had thirteen carries for
twenty three yards against the Hawaii.

Speaker 1 (49:25):
It's still glad that the Rainbows didn't pull that off.

Speaker 2 (49:27):
Their quarterback went nineteen for thirty eight with two picks.
Ethan Garber's like, and I think we've seen enough to
know Ethan Garber stinks. I think there's a chance Indiana
boat races UCLA.

Speaker 1 (49:39):
I think we talked about coaching in that case date game.
I think coaching might matter here with Signetti coach Siggs.
He's gonna get his team fired up for a road trip.
He's gonna pull the underdog card even though they're favored. Yeah,
I think I think Indiana actually is a pretty decent
play in that game.

Speaker 2 (49:55):
It could Indiana. I can't believe I'm gonna.

Speaker 1 (49:58):
Bring no, no, no, I can't, we can't.

Speaker 2 (49:59):
Fin Could Indiana be a sneaky team? We look up
in a couple of weeks and they're on the field like.

Speaker 4 (50:05):
They play with your Syracuse Orange.

Speaker 2 (50:08):
You see, Wait, what's that? What's up with Syracuse?

Speaker 4 (50:10):
I said, same with your Syracuse Orange.

Speaker 2 (50:13):
Whatever, Georgia tninks. We'll see. I think I'm probably wrong
on Syracuse. They're probably better than I thought they were.

Speaker 1 (50:18):
That could Indiana. Could Indiana Nebraska be a battle of
undefeated teams?

Speaker 4 (50:24):
Oh Man, Ohio State.

Speaker 2 (50:27):
Yeah, well I think Nebraska takes them down. But yeah,
I kind of love that. I'll come down to that
Indiana Northwestern game at that training facility in Illinois, but it.

Speaker 1 (50:38):
Looks very nice. I actually would.

Speaker 2 (50:40):
Yeah, they should stop building the new one.

Speaker 1 (50:42):
In incept In September and October. I would I would
like to go to a game there in November with
the breeze coming off the lake. Absolutely not.

Speaker 2 (50:51):
It's a shame they play Michigan and Ohio State. You
could make a case for a fun year here for
coach six. I'm probably going way too far. They have
anyone yet, but yeah, I'll throw it out there.

Speaker 1 (51:02):
I mean, look, they've scored over one hundred points in
two in two weeks.

Speaker 4 (51:06):
He said it best. Googled me. I win.

Speaker 2 (51:09):
I I think he's fun.

Speaker 1 (51:11):
I like, look if they if they beat UCLA, and
if they beat and they have Charlotte and marilyand at home,
so if they go five and oh and go in
September at five and oh, they'll be one of those
like feel good stories at like the ten am window
of college game Day where they're like, oh, Kurt Signetti,
he just did this at JMU in the end of

(51:33):
their pesky and then they finished seven and five, seven
and six, And does he.

Speaker 2 (51:36):
Kind of look like Tom Crean? Kurt Signetti, I wanted
to get a good picture of him. If I couldn't
picture him, I think he kind of looks like Tom Crean. No,
I'm kind of getting some Tom he's giving Tom Crean
in these Google images that I'm seeing here. I had
to bring it up.

Speaker 1 (51:54):
Tom Crean not a good basketball.

Speaker 2 (51:56):
Coach, one of the worst of all times.

Speaker 1 (51:59):
And at least at Georgia. He ruined himself by going
to Georgia because nobody talks about Anthony Edwards at Georgia.

Speaker 4 (52:07):
You're absolutely right.

Speaker 2 (52:08):
I forgot about that.

Speaker 1 (52:10):
So that will do it for Week three. Look, it's
a sloppy sleep, but this is where we find the winners.
All three of us will be tweeting out winners throughout
the week as well. We appreciate everybody joining us here
on the College Football Betting Preview. We'll be back next
week at eight pm Tuesday night for hopefully a much
better set of games in Week four.
