Speaker 1 (00:37):
Anchors up sales at four. Welcome to the slipcast. How
we're doing.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
Here, right, Jeff? How are you doing?
Speaker 1 (00:45):
Doing good?
Speaker 2 (00:45):
Doing good?
Speaker 1 (00:46):
Doing good? We have a lot to do today. We
have a full round of slip picks. Uh, we have
to update the the tier list. We got Austin down
in chats. He's our guest picker this week. H I
got no reason to screw around.
Speaker 3 (01:04):
Do you?
Speaker 2 (01:05):
I don't. Let's let's just get right into it.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
The first the tradition, big tradition. Now, let's get into
it all right.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
Week ten, Hurdy, Week ten here, Jared, a lot more
shake ups. Let's let's get right into it. For tierless
Ohio State five. Obviously they stay Indiana Big one.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
Or dominant big one for weak opponent.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
Mm hmm, they stay in S tire Alabama. Alabama keeps winning.
Alabama keeps winning.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
I mentioned Texas A and m keeps winning. Oh Miss
picks up a decent win yep.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
I mentioned last week, Jared. If Alabama wins, we put
him into S tire and I I hold to that.
I think Alabama has has moved their way up to
S tier. Their resume, their resume really really showcases that
so I I gotta put Alabama right now. I s
(02:17):
that I still think State overall is the better opponent,
the better team than than Alabama. But I think Alabama
is really up there.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
Austin, I agree with you that beating South Carolina does nothing.
In fact, them only beating South Carolina by a score
hurt their chances of moving into st here in my opinion.
But I was ready to move them into s tire
last week and Kyle wouldn't let me. So I think
(02:50):
they've had a really tough schedule the past month, and
they've done a really good job against that really bad schedule.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
Absolutely in Texas and them.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
All is the schedule. Who's going to challenge them either
that it's kind of I mean, it was partially the
point I think.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
I mean, they're they're on to buy this, They're on
to buy this weekend, and then they host LSU, going
to be a depleted l s U team, and then
they play Oklahoma, their yearly FCS team, and then and
then the Iron Bowl. So no very favorable for the
rest of the year for Alabama. The Aggie's Jared Yeah
(03:32):
agis with a big win in Baton Rouge forty twenty five. Yeah, Yeah,
I mean it's tough.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
LSU is necessarily a big win, but they did what
they should have done against l.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
S U in L s U at L s U
at night. That's a tough, tough place to play.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
But we also have to acknowledge that LSU kind of sucks. Sure,
we we we have them, We have them down in
CE tier, ready to move them into M tier. But
we'll talk about that later. L s U's not that
to me, Austin. We're literally talking about how l s
U is not very good, but that they beat l
(04:14):
s U the way they should have beat l s U.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
Yeah, they really turned it on that second half there. Yeah,
I I mean, what do you think do they do
you think they deserve to go up to S tier
now or stay in a tier?
Speaker 1 (04:30):
But would you say their wins are on par with
Alabama's wins?
Speaker 2 (04:34):
Yes, yes, I think because of that, I would put
them up to S tier. That's that's my mind thought.
I wanted to hear yours.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
I'm good with that. We don't have as much time
this week as we did last week to dive super
dive deep.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
These ole miss is another one. They get a they
get a good win.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
A cross another thirty times, Austin, because I'll say al
tross another thirty times.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
Yeah against Oklahoma here, So I think I think almost
still stays an eight tier good win on the road,
very favorable schedule the rest of the year. Here, I mean,
it's it's it's down to five teams, maybe six teams
(05:22):
in the SEC right now. It's yea, And I don't
think any of these teams play each other, right, I've
got none of them. None of them play each other.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
Austin says, they're supposed to be Alabama, And this is
this is the thing I have said multiple times this season.
It is not fair to hold Alabama to Nick Saban standards.
If Nick Saban's not there, they can still be a
very very very good team and not be the Alabama
(05:55):
we got used to over the past ten to fifteen years.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
Yeah, like they can still be.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
They're not absolutely mid that, they are absolutely more than that.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
All right, USF. You gotta talk about USF losing there,
they're down to gosh, would you put them down to
seat here?
Speaker 1 (06:20):
No two losses, two losses now, but only one in conference.
They can they can still win their conference. That's the
that's the definition of the bubble. To me, they can
still very realistically when they're getting to their championship game,
when they're they're.
Speaker 4 (06:35):
They're in there.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
I mean the problem the problem is Navy as far
as getting into the game. Navy is a problem.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
What we'll get to Navy here. But let's let's finish
off the obvious ones.
Speaker 4 (06:48):
Oregon, they, as Choire says, the sentence we have to
talk about USF is a victory, uh itself for you
for US.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
Sure, Oregon a not so great win against Wisconsin. Granted
it's terrible weather, but still twenty one to seven.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
I did the weather got bad later? Yeah, I'm not
taking weather as an excuse there.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (07:16):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
Georgia Miami, Notre Dame, Georgia Tech, Georgia.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
Tech BYU wins. All these teams.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
Won by U.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
Yeah yeah, b Yu. We already talked about old Miss.
All these teams won. I think they're all fine right
where they are. I have no reason eleven team teams, right,
that's eleven teams which we just don't replace the American.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
Yep, got to replace the American. I'm looking at the
list here.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
I think it's great.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
No, it's it's I think it's okay, Houston or Memphis
or two Lane or a Navy those are those are
your four right now. And I'm not gonna I'm not
gonna diewn a hill to for any of them. But
i will say Houston may have one of the well,
(08:20):
I guess Memphis to Memphis has has. Both teams had
good wins this last weekend, Houston on the road to
be Arizona State, Memphis at home beat South Florida. I mean,
who which one would you rather take, the Cougars or
the Tigers.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
The Cougars or the Tigers. What about the Green Wave?
Speaker 2 (08:46):
Yep? Oh, you tell me the case for for the
Green Wave?
Speaker 1 (08:54):
Uh, take a look at the pull up the American
standings for me?
Speaker 2 (08:59):
Sure thing? Uh, let's see.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
That is, if you die on a hill for Navy,
should you actually die on a wave? And that.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
So Navy undefeated five and in conference seven oh overall,
Tulane undefeated in conference with one loss, and Memphis seven
and one with one loss in conference.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
Tulane is undefeated in conference. Their one loss was against
Ole Miss, who is a highly thought of team. Navy,
with all due respect, the Navy ain't played nobody. I
know they're undefeated.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
Let's go ahead and just put Tulane for for for
this week. I'm I'm fine with that. We can we
can kind of move on move on here.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
So I'm not giving Alabama any credit for their win
over Wisconsin. It was not impressive. My my case all
along is that Bama had a rough start to the
season but that they've figured it out now. Sure, that's right.
So and there's a big much And this is why
I keep using if you listen to last week's episode,
(10:07):
it's why I keep using the word albatross in comparison
to Ohio State in twenty fourteen, where they weren't very
good team in September, but they figured it out all right.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
So in BT or here, Jared, we got Virginia, Texas Tech, Utah,
USF Louisville, Memphis, Oklahoma, Missouri, Navy, Arizona State. I think
Arizona State is on the outside now. I think they
will probably.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
Worry about that. Yeah. My one thing I would bring
up is we have Vanderbilt in Cincinnati. With Vanderbilt and Cincinnati,
we'd obviously have to remove a team. In Cincinnati's case,
we'd have to remove BYU in Vanderbilt's case, who would
(11:02):
you You probably have to remove Ole, miss which I
don't think is no what I would be doing at
this point. Or Georgia. I don't think i'd be removing
Georgia at this point. I like both Miami and Georgia
tech in there, so I'm not I don't feel I
don't feel it appropriate to remove either of those teams.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
I think Oklahoma, I think I think Oklahoma's pretty much done.
They just got their second loss.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
Let's let's talk about moving to Okay, So Vanderbilt Cincinnati
are going to stay in B tier. They're not going
to move up, yep. So talk about three teams who
could be removed from B tier. Oklahoma, I agree.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
With you, Oklahoma gone. I think Missouri you got to
as well too. They don't have any signature wins, they
have none. Their best ones is South Carolina and Auburn,
both both in the bottom of the SEC. They have
a combined of one win in conference.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
Right now, I mean, you're not you're not going to
get in the argument. You're not going to get any
argument from me. I agree. And the Sooners in Missouri, Yes,
Oklahoma and the Sooners that that is what I just.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
Said in Arizona State with their second loss in conference
as well too. And they need a lot of help
because all the teams they they play, I mean, they
have a very favorable schedule, but they need help to
they need help to get in because both of their
(12:49):
losses are teams that are ahead of them, which is
devastating to put right now, I agree, Okay, all right,
so that is our our S, A, B, and C.
Well and I and I think hold on, we should
add I think we should add Jared another name to
(13:10):
M tier. I think for the second year in a row.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
Was it did? Were they the ones that got out
of M tier last year?
Speaker 2 (13:17):
Yeah? They did? Was that last I'm almost I'm almost certain. Yeah,
LSU went in r M tier and then got there,
got their way out as the season went along.
Speaker 1 (13:28):
Talked about this a little tiny bit in in the
Monday episode. No, I do not think Brian Kelly is
going to Penn State. Brian Kelly was James Franklin before
James Franklin was James Franklin. Neither that You're you're out
of the frying pan and into the fire. You're you're
bringing a coach who's really good at building an A
(13:49):
program but not an S program who can't win the
big games. Brian Kelly and James Franklin are the same
person is gonna say it like that?
Speaker 2 (14:01):
All right? Tierless?
Speaker 1 (14:04):
No? No, no, not not yet. I have C plus. Okay,
should we potentially talk about USC Michigan.
Speaker 5 (14:21):
S m U.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
As as graduates, maybe Utah as graduates in the bet here?
Speaker 2 (14:28):
All right, let's let's look at Michigan Michigan play of
the four teams ahead of Michigan, they have one team
that one team ahead of them. They need they need help,
They need help right now to get in. If they
run the tables they went out, they still got they
still got like two teams ahead of them, three teams
(14:50):
ahead of them.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
Still, I agree, I don't know. So this is this
is this is more wild card. I you know, if
we sort of run with the theory that it's going
to be four SEC teams and four Big ten teams
if it does shake out that way, which is it
doesn't have to, but that's kind of how we we
(15:13):
typically go into the season thinking it's going to be
that mm hmm. We have two Big ten teams in
S tier and one Big ten team in a tier.
Speaker 5 (15:24):
Sure.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
I mean it's going to help that Oregon and Iowa
play each other. Is it this weekend? No, it's the
following weekend. Uh, So that's gonna help Michigan. They'll they'll
move up a spot if they If they continue to
win out and they be fourth, that's still they still
need help. So I don't know. I think they they
(15:49):
stay in SEA unless there's chaos ahead of them, and
then they can move up to be tier. So okay,
same thing with US.
Speaker 1 (15:59):
Yes, you say, if you make that argument for Michigan,
you'd make that same argument for USC. So that's fine.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
I think if any any Big Ten teams that would
potentially move up could be potentially Iowa just because they
only have one loss in conference. They do have their
big game against Oregon coming up here and in a
week week and a half if they win, If they win,
that like.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
Iowa very much. Quite frankly, I think both US and
Michigan are better football teams.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
Sure, sure, but looking at the schedule as a whole,
Iowa wins, wins out and Michigan upsets Ohio State, Iowa
was in, Iowa was in the Big Ten championship game.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
I I'd really have to check some tiebreakers to Yeah,
I mean I I get yeah, I mean yeah, I
mean iwa, that requires Iowa winning out. That requires Iowa
winning out and then and then beating Indiana. But then again,
(17:10):
they could still get that fourth spot. Yeah, I sure.
I just don't think Iowa can win out. I just
don't think that they're that good.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
Uh smu. I think they have still one loss in conference.
They could potentially be like Clemson last year. They have
too many losses, but they can they can find their
way in, so they can backdoor their way in. But
they play some tough games Miami this weekend and they
(17:41):
play Louisville still on their schedule here, Cow has upset,
so they can play their way in. Is the point
they can play their way in? Yeah, so right now
I still put them in see but they can play
their way in.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
If they can play their way in, that's playoff lebble.
In my opinion, it might be a one week stay
in the playoff bubble, but it's based off of the
math and the opportunity ahead of them their playoff bubble.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
Geez, I'm looking here. Even though they lost recently, they
only have one again, another team with three losses, only
one in conference. Yep, Duke, looking at Duke. The rest
of their schedule are teams that that are behind them
except for Virginia. If they win Virginia, they win this
(18:35):
weekend against Clemson, they beat Virginia, you could see Duke
in the ACC championship game, potentially.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
I'll let you make this call. I made.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
They stay in C tier.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
Okay, right now, Utah in Big twelve.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
Lavee Utah. I think Utah still hold on. Let me
go back to Utah.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
Excuse me, excuse me, excuse me. They have the same
font I just threw myself through a loop there. I'm
talking about Houston. Utah is already in B tier. By
the way, they have the same logo. Can everyone just
take a look. They have the same logo, except one
of them's in h In my defense.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
Houston has a very very favorable rest of the schedule.
West Virginia, U, c f TCU, and Baylor. You can
see them being you can see them being in the
and they had a really big twelve championship, had a
really big win last week. Yeah. The kids Arizona State, Yeah,
(19:42):
I think they're in B tier.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
Okay, Yeah, And by the way, either either Utah or Houston.
When have you changed your logo?
Speaker 2 (19:53):
Yeah? Thanks, I think TCUs TCUs on the I think
stays in c but they could place Boilers. They played
they played BYU, then Houston, then Cincinnati. This whole play spoilers,
but they're on the outside.
Speaker 1 (20:08):
This whole discussion is why the twelve team playoff actually rocks. Yes,
because conference championship games have meaning. Now maybe less so,
maybe less so in the SEC and the Big Ten,
but for all the other conferences, winning your conference all
(20:30):
of a sudden is super important. Kyle, Before the twelve
team playoff, you and I would not have ever given
two shits about the ACC standings or the Big Twelve standings,
the conference standings. Who has what? We just wouldn't have cared.
This is This is much more fun. I like this
a lot.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
You have Boise State and San Diego State from the
Mountain West. Yeah, I have them in a lot of help.
Speaker 1 (20:59):
I have them in C plus because I think they
deserve to be in C plus they're the leaders in
the Mountain West. And but I'm still you too, But
I still there in the sun in the Sun Belt.
But I still very firmly believe that the fifth champion
will come from the American.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
I would agree too.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
I think they belong in C plus, but I don't
think they belong in B because I just think, I
just I feel very confident that that that last teams
coming from the American and not the Mountain West or
the Sun Belt.
Speaker 2 (21:32):
Yep, all right, wrap it up here, s Tier. We
have Ohio State, Indiana, Alabama, Texas, A and m A Tier, Oregon, Georgia, Miami, Georgia, Tech,
Notre Dame b y u Ole, miss and the Green
Wave of two Lane. All right, we are going to

Speaker 1 (22:36):
Right, Kyle. We have some bad news, some some some
borderline upsettingly sad news. All right, I dropped four games
to you in the Sloop picks just last week.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
It's bad news.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
On on this side of the microphone, it is, yes,
all right.
Speaker 2 (22:57):
So I am now of the internet pipes.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
Yes, I am in l six games behind you. Spikes,
who was our guest picker last week, UH got four games,
which which has now put the the collective community now
three games ahead of me. You are total of six
(23:20):
games ahead of me. And I'm in. I'm in, I'm
in dead I mean, I mean, I'm in, I'm in
super last. Right now, I will say for anyone who
likes rooting against the overdogs, uh Duncan and not sun
Card won the weekly web picks last week, so sun
Card got d throned.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
I mean, I mean, I would say in our picks
here you are not dead last here for last.
Speaker 1 (23:46):
I understand that as far as the the on screen
scoreboard goes, I am dead last.
Speaker 2 (23:51):
Sure, sure, all right, let's let's go ahead and get
let's go ahead and get into it. Speaking of people
who are in last, Austin is our guest speaker for
for this week.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
Here, Hey, miss, mister mister knows it all about Alabama
and all the other teams. Isn't exactly showing he knows
it all in the slypics, is all I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (24:18):
Yeah, sure, all right, let's go. Let's go and jump
right into it here.
Speaker 3 (24:23):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
First off, we have Miami on the road to take
on s m U or s m U is a
nine and a half point underdog noon kickoff. I'll let
you start, Jared, You're gonna.
Speaker 1 (24:37):
Let me start.
Speaker 2 (24:40):
I'll let you start.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
It's so very generous of you. SMU is a fine team,
I think. But Miami is a very good team. And
I know that they they faltered on the road or
was it at home? I've actually already forgotten. Uh, but
they faltered against a lesser team. But I still think
(25:04):
that they're a very good football team. I think maybe
they might be a little bit more motivated to throw
up some style points now that they have a loss
on the record. As we were just talking about, with
the ACC standings, there is potentially not that like safe,
like it's not a guarantee they're going to the ACC
(25:25):
conference game. They might need to get in on some
style points. They're gonna need to show out and SMU
might be the victim of that. So give me Miami.
Nine and a half points is not.
Speaker 2 (25:38):
Enough, yep, I agree. Two possession or yeah, two possession
game here. I like Miami's odds. Here, I'll take Miami
on the road to cover the nine and a half points,
all right, And Austin, excuse me, sorry about that. Austin
(25:59):
sets here. Miami going away from the state of Florida
for the first time this season. Crazy stacks going into
November first, and they're finally playing a football game away
from the state of Florida.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
It's a wild stack.
Speaker 2 (26:15):
That is a wild wild stat But he has SMU
to cover. At least he has. He has scored Miami
twenty six SMU seventeen, which is a nine point. Makes
me feel.
Speaker 1 (26:29):
Florida is a pick here. Florida is a big state.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
Makes me feel better about my pick, all right. Next
next up here vander Belt on the road to take
on Texas, and Texas at home is a three and
a half point favorite, So Vegas is saying at a
neutral site, these teams are equal.
Speaker 1 (26:57):
Yeah, I guess he's what they're saying.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
I don't know, Vanderbilt just has that swag in them
right now. I know it's gonna be tough. I know
it's tough on the road here, and they've they've been
getting it done here, They've been getting it done. I mean,
you're you're handicapping Vanderbilt three and a half points. I'll
I'll take that. I'll take those points there, so I
(27:21):
at least at least get Vanderbilt to cover.
Speaker 1 (27:25):
Yeah, I agree. I think Vanderbilt has a lot of
momentum right now. I think they look really good right now.
Speaker 2 (27:39):
There is solidify Texas stays an em tier.
Speaker 1 (27:43):
Yeah, Kyle and I have already put Texas in EM
tier that, you know, so we kind of have to
back that horse, I'm kidding. And whether this is a
good thing or a bad thing is yet to be seen.
But last we heard word, arch Manning is not practicing.
He's in concussion protocol. So who's even going to be
(28:06):
the quarterback for Texas? And again, whether having arch Manning
be out's a good thing or a bad thing is
maybe up for discussion. But an unknown is an unknown.
So gimme Vanderbilt, yep.
Speaker 2 (28:20):
Any and Austin simply says, horns down Vanny with the upset.
Speaker 1 (28:28):
I mean, yeah, I guess technically per Vegas, it's an
upset per the AP, it is not correct.
Speaker 2 (28:34):
Yeah, all right. Next up here, Georgia and Florida, World's
biggest outdoor cocktail party.
Speaker 1 (28:44):
Yes it is still called that. I don't care what
anyone says.
Speaker 2 (28:48):
Florida is a seven and a half point underdog in
this matchup. It is your pick, Jared.
Speaker 1 (28:59):
Yeah, I still just don't like Georgia all that much.
And granted I don't like Florida that much either, but
it crossed the magic number for me. Had this been
six and a half, I would have gone with Georgia
at seven and a half that that was enough for me.
(29:20):
I don't I don't think Florida is super likely to
win the game, don't get me.
Speaker 3 (29:24):
Wrong, but.
Speaker 1 (29:28):
Under a score, I'll take. Under a score, george has
not been blowing teams out this year. Florida still has
a very good defense, although maybe don't look quite as
good as they did early in the season. But still
I'm gonna take unless they.
Speaker 2 (29:48):
Go up again to a good offensive team, which Georgia
is not. Florida to cover.
Speaker 1 (29:58):
I got Florida to cover.
Speaker 2 (30:04):
I think this is going to be similar to like
the Florida and Texas A and M game. Here, I
think I think George is gonna run away with this. Yep,
that half point there or that point there that does
worry me a little bit. But I'm I'll pick the
Bulldogs here. I'll picked the Bulldogs to cover. MHM. And
(30:24):
Austin says here, I've never been a big Esquire fan anyways,
So he picks Florida to upset.
Speaker 1 (30:34):
Oh boy, they're both in the They're both in the
chat right now. This is gonna get awkward. Huh, that's funny.
Speaker 2 (30:45):
Monster, all right, who you got, Jared?
Speaker 1 (30:49):
I already did that.
Speaker 2 (30:50):
Never mind, never mind. We're moving on to the next
one here, and that is Oklahoma on the road to Tennessee,
where Tennessee is a three and a half point favorite
at home, and that is not enough to scare me.
I'll pick the Volunteers to win and cover in this matchup.
Speaker 1 (31:12):
Kyle taking Keenness. See uh, I like, I'm just gonna
be real with you. I dislike both of these teams.
Sure to give. I'm gonna take the points. I'm not
picking either team, I'm picking the points.
Speaker 2 (31:34):
Okay, give me the.
Speaker 1 (31:36):
Underdog, which happens to be Oklahoma. That's I was, That's
who I was gonna pick this game. I don't care
for either of these teams.
Speaker 2 (31:45):
All right, And Austin has here, it just means more.
And he has Tennessee to cover by a lot as
his tradition. Uh, where's my thing?
Speaker 1 (32:03):
Here?
Speaker 2 (32:03):
We go?
Speaker 3 (32:03):
All right?
Speaker 2 (32:04):
Next up here we have Nebraska hosting USC night game.
Speaker 4 (32:13):
Uh, and.
Speaker 2 (32:16):
USC on the road is a six and a half
point favorite. I lost track there, But your pick here, Jared,
you got USC to cover or or yeah, I'm sorry,
do you have Nebraska covering? Or do you have USC?
Speaker 1 (32:33):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (32:33):
The minu six and a half.
Speaker 1 (32:35):
You got there? Eventually. Not a body clock issue is
this is being played at night. Also, Nebraska is not
even that far east really, so it's just it's just
time zones, just two time zones. It's being played at night,
so we're we're not worried about body clock issues in
this game. I don't think I. I just think you
(32:59):
US is the better football team right now. And again
it's that it's that magic tipping point for me, had
this been seven and a half and may have gone
with Nebraska at six and a half give me the charges.
Speaker 2 (33:24):
Yeah, I'm I think this is gonna be I think
it's gonna be a dog fight.
Speaker 1 (33:29):
I think it's a perfect for the record.
Speaker 2 (33:31):
Uh huh, yeah, it really is. I I don't feel
good about either either side. So I guess I'll pick
Nebraska here to cover the six and the six and
a half points. I mean at home at night, you
never know, I mean, especially this this late in the season.
(33:54):
I mean, why why not another another chaos in here?
Why not?
Speaker 1 (34:02):
I don't know if I counted this. I mean, I
guess for our game it counts as chaos, but I
don't think USC counts as chaos at this point.
Speaker 2 (34:10):
All right, Next up, Jared is, well, hold on, did
you get Oh yeah, Austin's boy, Yeah, Austin. Austin's pick here,
he says, corn, No corn. He has USC winning by fourteen.
Speaker 1 (34:25):
I'm pretty sure they still grow corn in California. Maybe
not southern California though.
Speaker 2 (34:30):
Yeah. All right, all right, Now we go on to
Cincinnati on the road to Utah or U Tall, the
higher ranked team is a seven and a half point
favorite at home, Yes, sir, and actually Jared, it's gone
up to eight in a half, really, but CBS locked
(34:55):
it in at seven and a half, So we are
picking seven and a half. I I'm gonna go with Cincinnati.
I mean, I what what's the hate on Cincinnati here? Like?
What is it that?
Speaker 1 (35:08):
Like?
Speaker 2 (35:09):
Was it because at Utah's big win or blowout over Colorado?
Colorado's terrible this year?
Speaker 1 (35:15):
I agree, No, I totally agree. I don't understand this
line at all.
Speaker 2 (35:22):
I like Cincinnati's offense. They sort of Be's a pretty
good quarterback. He's throwing twenty touchdowns already this season.
Speaker 1 (35:30):
I will say, I will say there is a body
clock issue here that might be that might be moving
some of the points the Bearcats. The Bearcats are kicking
off at ten to fifteen pm, yeah, ten fifteen Yeah,
starting at a football game at ten to fifteen pm.
(35:51):
That is a body clock issue.
Speaker 2 (35:54):
Yeah. I'm not sure who how that ended up that way, but.
Speaker 1 (35:58):
I mean, honestly, it's it's almost it. It's just as
egregious as forcing West Coast teams to kick off at
nine o'clock per their nine o'clock am, per their body clock.
Speaker 2 (36:10):
Yeah, I'll take Cincinnati.
Speaker 1 (36:14):
I'm taking Cincinnati as well.
Speaker 5 (36:15):
I was.
Speaker 1 (36:17):
I was all ready to not take Cincinnati because of
the body clock issue, which again might be why the
spread is what it is, because you know, I don't know.
I still think Cincinnati wins this football game. I think
(36:38):
Cincinnati wins this football game, period, let alone, giving me
a seven and a half point buffer, right.
Speaker 2 (36:50):
Right, And Austin says here, I always like Joe Royer,
real grinder, hard worker, first one in, last one out,
type of kid you would let your daughter date, played
lacrosse in high school, natural leader, your lunch, quicker than fast,
got lots of moxy, lots of moxy. Yeah he's got
(37:11):
Cincinnati big.
Speaker 1 (37:15):
All right?
Speaker 2 (37:15):
And last one here, we will we will just make
our pick says we will cover this game in Thursday's
episode and know your enemy is what we cover the
Penn State to game. But the line is twenty and
a half points for the home team at noon. Uh
it is your pick, Jared, Do you have hostate covering
(37:38):
the twenty and a half or do you think this
will be closer.
Speaker 1 (37:41):
Depending upon the casino, because depending upon the casino might
might change where the Ohio game went. So, but depending
upon the casino, Ohio State is not just undefeated this year,
but they're undefeated against the spread this year. Ohio State. Again,
(38:03):
depending upon the casino, they might have not covered against Ohio,
but depending on the casino, Ohio State is undefeated against
the spread this year. I don't think that's changing. I
I'll I'll tell you why on Thursday. We're not doing
(38:25):
the why here today.
Speaker 2 (38:29):
But I have some predictions, all right, I yeah, I
got a hot state covering here as well. Penn State's
not scoring points. They're not scoring points there. They may
score a field goal to field goals max max, Hio
(38:51):
State big.
Speaker 1 (38:53):
And who does Austin have?
Speaker 2 (38:56):
Uh he says here, feel bad for chest I think
we'll cover that. Sure, sure, yeah, yeah, he has a
honestate winning and covering. Okay, sure, all right, and real
quick here, real quick, here is our chaos theory. We
pick up team who's unranked to be a ranked team,
(39:21):
and I will go I will go first here. That way,
there's nobody complaining about me cheating.
Speaker 1 (39:28):
Well, definitely, don't look at the screen because I forgot
to hide Austin and ice picks, so they're already on
the screen. So just to look at the screen, just
don't look at the screen, close your eyes.
Speaker 2 (39:40):
I wasn't. That was not one of my two picks. Really,
that was not one of my two picks. The two
teams I'm down to, Jared Jared go away, Yeah, Florida.
So it looks like Jared and Austin picked Florida, which
would be twenty one points if they give them. But
(40:01):
I'm gosh, I'm I'm torn either between Kansas State upsetting
Texas Tech that Kansas State always has a game every
year where they upset a team.
Speaker 1 (40:16):
Kyle, I told you before we started recording that I
thought there were two very good chaos pero chaos theory picks.
Speaker 3 (40:24):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (40:25):
Obviously, I think Florida beating Georgia is one of them.
I'll tell you right now. Kansas State was not one
for me, but I don't hate it. No, no, not
be in state.
Speaker 2 (40:38):
The other one, Jared, is a night game in Raleigh
as a only a five and a half point underdog
yellow Jackets could lose their first game of the season.
Speaker 1 (40:55):
And that was that was the other one. I was
considering that, and that's the one.
Speaker 2 (41:00):
That's the one I'm going to go with a lot
of points.
Speaker 1 (41:02):
At points there do the emotes, guys, a.
Speaker 2 (41:06):
Lot of points there, give me those eighteen points.
Speaker 1 (41:11):
How we should go do the thing? Guys, I need
you to do the thing.
Speaker 2 (41:16):
Gosh, let me, let me, let me get let me
let me get back to you on Austin about it.
Let me see if we can make that happen.
Speaker 1 (41:25):
And c State and uh sorry, what's Georgia Tech currently
ranked eight?
Speaker 2 (41:32):
So that'll be eighteen points?
Speaker 1 (41:34):
Eight goes eighteen?
Speaker 2 (41:36):
Yes, all right, that's it.
Speaker 1 (41:41):
Looking for it. It's not a sticker. It got demoted
away from sticker. You have to do the emote.
Speaker 2 (41:53):
That's all, Jared.
Speaker 1 (41:54):
That is it.
Speaker 2 (41:54):
We well over time here, so we are just going
to go ahead and end it here.
Speaker 1 (42:01):

we're doing.
Speaker 2 (00:42):
Here, right, Jeff? How are you doing?
Speaker 1 (00:45):
Doing good?
Speaker 2 (00:45):
Doing good?
Speaker 1 (00:46):
Doing good? We have a lot to do today. We
have a full round of slip picks. Uh, we have
to update the the tier list. We got Austin down
in chats. He's our guest picker this week. H I
got no reason to screw around.
Speaker 3 (01:04):
Do you?
Speaker 2 (01:05):
I don't. Let's let's just get right into it.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
The first the tradition, big tradition. Now, let's get into
it all right.
Speaker 2 (01:21):
Week ten, Hurdy, Week ten here, Jared, a lot more
shake ups. Let's let's get right into it. For tierless
Ohio State five. Obviously they stay Indiana Big one.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
Or dominant big one for weak opponent.
Speaker 2 (01:38):
Mm hmm, they stay in S tire Alabama. Alabama keeps winning.
Alabama keeps winning.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
I mentioned Texas A and m keeps winning. Oh Miss
picks up a decent win yep.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
I mentioned last week, Jared. If Alabama wins, we put
him into S tire and I I hold to that.
I think Alabama has has moved their way up to
S tier. Their resume, their resume really really showcases that
so I I gotta put Alabama right now. I s
(02:17):
that I still think State overall is the better opponent,
the better team than than Alabama. But I think Alabama
is really up there.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
Austin, I agree with you that beating South Carolina does nothing.
In fact, them only beating South Carolina by a score
hurt their chances of moving into st here in my opinion.
But I was ready to move them into s tire
last week and Kyle wouldn't let me. So I think
(02:50):
they've had a really tough schedule the past month, and
they've done a really good job against that really bad schedule.
Speaker 2 (02:57):
Absolutely in Texas and them.
Speaker 1 (02:59):
All is the schedule. Who's going to challenge them either
that it's kind of I mean, it was partially the
point I think.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
I mean, they're they're on to buy this, They're on
to buy this weekend, and then they host LSU, going
to be a depleted l s U team, and then
they play Oklahoma, their yearly FCS team, and then and
then the Iron Bowl. So no very favorable for the
rest of the year for Alabama. The Aggie's Jared Yeah
(03:32):
agis with a big win in Baton Rouge forty twenty five. Yeah, Yeah,
I mean it's tough.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
LSU is necessarily a big win, but they did what
they should have done against l.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
S U in L s U at L s U
at night. That's a tough, tough place to play.
Speaker 1 (03:54):
But we also have to acknowledge that LSU kind of sucks. Sure,
we we we have them, We have them down in
CE tier, ready to move them into M tier. But
we'll talk about that later. L s U's not that
to me, Austin. We're literally talking about how l s
U is not very good, but that they beat l
(04:14):
s U the way they should have beat l s U.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
Yeah, they really turned it on that second half there. Yeah,
I I mean, what do you think do they do
you think they deserve to go up to S tier
now or stay in a tier?
Speaker 1 (04:30):
But would you say their wins are on par with
Alabama's wins?
Speaker 2 (04:34):
Yes, yes, I think because of that, I would put
them up to S tier. That's that's my mind thought.
I wanted to hear yours.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
I'm good with that. We don't have as much time
this week as we did last week to dive super
dive deep.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
These ole miss is another one. They get a they
get a good win.
Speaker 1 (04:57):
A cross another thirty times, Austin, because I'll say al
tross another thirty times.
Speaker 2 (05:01):
Yeah against Oklahoma here, So I think I think almost
still stays an eight tier good win on the road,
very favorable schedule the rest of the year. Here, I mean,
it's it's it's down to five teams, maybe six teams
(05:22):
in the SEC right now. It's yea, And I don't
think any of these teams play each other, right, I've
got none of them. None of them play each other.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
Austin says, they're supposed to be Alabama, And this is
this is the thing I have said multiple times this season.
It is not fair to hold Alabama to Nick Saban standards.
If Nick Saban's not there, they can still be a
very very very good team and not be the Alabama
(05:55):
we got used to over the past ten to fifteen years.
Speaker 2 (05:59):
Yeah, like they can still be.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
They're not absolutely mid that, they are absolutely more than that.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
All right, USF. You gotta talk about USF losing there,
they're down to gosh, would you put them down to
seat here?
Speaker 1 (06:20):
No two losses, two losses now, but only one in conference.
They can they can still win their conference. That's the
that's the definition of the bubble. To me, they can
still very realistically when they're getting to their championship game,
when they're they're.
Speaker 4 (06:35):
They're in there.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
I mean the problem the problem is Navy as far
as getting into the game. Navy is a problem.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
What we'll get to Navy here. But let's let's finish
off the obvious ones.
Speaker 4 (06:48):
Oregon, they, as Choire says, the sentence we have to
talk about USF is a victory, uh itself for you
for US.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
Sure, Oregon a not so great win against Wisconsin. Granted
it's terrible weather, but still twenty one to seven.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
I did the weather got bad later? Yeah, I'm not
taking weather as an excuse there.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (07:16):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
Georgia Miami, Notre Dame, Georgia Tech, Georgia.
Speaker 1 (07:25):
Tech BYU wins. All these teams.
Speaker 2 (07:29):
Won by U.
Speaker 1 (07:31):
Yeah yeah, b Yu. We already talked about old Miss.
All these teams won. I think they're all fine right
where they are. I have no reason eleven team teams, right,
that's eleven teams which we just don't replace the American.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
Yep, got to replace the American. I'm looking at the
list here.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
I think it's great.
Speaker 2 (07:57):
No, it's it's I think it's okay, Houston or Memphis
or two Lane or a Navy those are those are
your four right now. And I'm not gonna I'm not
gonna diewn a hill to for any of them. But
i will say Houston may have one of the well,
(08:20):
I guess Memphis to Memphis has has. Both teams had
good wins this last weekend, Houston on the road to
be Arizona State, Memphis at home beat South Florida. I mean,
who which one would you rather take, the Cougars or
the Tigers.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
The Cougars or the Tigers. What about the Green Wave?
Speaker 2 (08:46):
Yep? Oh, you tell me the case for for the
Green Wave?
Speaker 1 (08:54):
Uh, take a look at the pull up the American
standings for me?
Speaker 2 (08:59):
Sure thing? Uh, let's see.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
That is, if you die on a hill for Navy,
should you actually die on a wave? And that.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
So Navy undefeated five and in conference seven oh overall,
Tulane undefeated in conference with one loss, and Memphis seven
and one with one loss in conference.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
Tulane is undefeated in conference. Their one loss was against
Ole Miss, who is a highly thought of team. Navy,
with all due respect, the Navy ain't played nobody. I
know they're undefeated.
Speaker 2 (09:39):
Let's go ahead and just put Tulane for for for
this week. I'm I'm fine with that. We can we
can kind of move on move on here.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
So I'm not giving Alabama any credit for their win
over Wisconsin. It was not impressive. My my case all
along is that Bama had a rough start to the
season but that they've figured it out now. Sure, that's right.
So and there's a big much And this is why
I keep using if you listen to last week's episode,
(10:07):
it's why I keep using the word albatross in comparison
to Ohio State in twenty fourteen, where they weren't very
good team in September, but they figured it out all right.
Speaker 2 (10:21):
So in BT or here, Jared, we got Virginia, Texas Tech, Utah,
USF Louisville, Memphis, Oklahoma, Missouri, Navy, Arizona State. I think
Arizona State is on the outside now. I think they
will probably.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
Worry about that. Yeah. My one thing I would bring
up is we have Vanderbilt in Cincinnati. With Vanderbilt and Cincinnati,
we'd obviously have to remove a team. In Cincinnati's case,
we'd have to remove BYU in Vanderbilt's case, who would
(11:02):
you You probably have to remove Ole, miss which I
don't think is no what I would be doing at
this point. Or Georgia. I don't think i'd be removing
Georgia at this point. I like both Miami and Georgia
tech in there, so I'm not I don't feel I
don't feel it appropriate to remove either of those teams.
Speaker 2 (11:28):
I think Oklahoma, I think I think Oklahoma's pretty much done.
They just got their second loss.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
Let's let's talk about moving to Okay, So Vanderbilt Cincinnati
are going to stay in B tier. They're not going
to move up, yep. So talk about three teams who
could be removed from B tier. Oklahoma, I agree.
Speaker 2 (11:49):
With you, Oklahoma gone. I think Missouri you got to
as well too. They don't have any signature wins, they
have none. Their best ones is South Carolina and Auburn,
both both in the bottom of the SEC. They have
a combined of one win in conference.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
Right now, I mean, you're not you're not going to
get in the argument. You're not going to get any
argument from me. I agree. And the Sooners in Missouri, Yes,
Oklahoma and the Sooners that that is what I just.
Speaker 2 (12:29):
Said in Arizona State with their second loss in conference
as well too. And they need a lot of help
because all the teams they they play, I mean, they
have a very favorable schedule, but they need help to
they need help to get in because both of their
(12:49):
losses are teams that are ahead of them, which is
devastating to put right now, I agree, Okay, all right,
so that is our our S, A, B, and C.
Well and I and I think hold on, we should
add I think we should add Jared another name to
(13:10):
M tier. I think for the second year in a row.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
Was it did? Were they the ones that got out
of M tier last year?
Speaker 2 (13:17):
Yeah? They did? Was that last I'm almost I'm almost certain. Yeah,
LSU went in r M tier and then got there,
got their way out as the season went along.
Speaker 1 (13:28):
Talked about this a little tiny bit in in the
Monday episode. No, I do not think Brian Kelly is
going to Penn State. Brian Kelly was James Franklin before
James Franklin was James Franklin. Neither that You're you're out
of the frying pan and into the fire. You're you're
bringing a coach who's really good at building an A
(13:49):
program but not an S program who can't win the
big games. Brian Kelly and James Franklin are the same
person is gonna say it like that?
Speaker 2 (14:01):
All right? Tierless?
Speaker 1 (14:04):
No? No, no, not not yet. I have C plus. Okay,
should we potentially talk about USC Michigan.
Speaker 5 (14:21):
S m U.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
As as graduates, maybe Utah as graduates in the bet here?
Speaker 2 (14:28):
All right, let's let's look at Michigan Michigan play of
the four teams ahead of Michigan, they have one team
that one team ahead of them. They need they need help,
They need help right now to get in. If they
run the tables they went out, they still got they
still got like two teams ahead of them, three teams
(14:50):
ahead of them.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
Still, I agree, I don't know. So this is this
is this is more wild card. I you know, if
we sort of run with the theory that it's going
to be four SEC teams and four Big ten teams
if it does shake out that way, which is it
doesn't have to, but that's kind of how we we
(15:13):
typically go into the season thinking it's going to be
that mm hmm. We have two Big ten teams in
S tier and one Big ten team in a tier.
Speaker 5 (15:24):
Sure.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
I mean it's going to help that Oregon and Iowa
play each other. Is it this weekend? No, it's the
following weekend. Uh, So that's gonna help Michigan. They'll they'll
move up a spot if they If they continue to
win out and they be fourth, that's still they still
need help. So I don't know. I think they they
(15:49):
stay in SEA unless there's chaos ahead of them, and
then they can move up to be tier. So okay,
same thing with US.
Speaker 1 (15:59):
Yes, you say, if you make that argument for Michigan,
you'd make that same argument for USC. So that's fine.
Speaker 2 (16:05):
I think if any any Big Ten teams that would
potentially move up could be potentially Iowa just because they
only have one loss in conference. They do have their
big game against Oregon coming up here and in a
week week and a half if they win, If they win,
that like.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
Iowa very much. Quite frankly, I think both US and
Michigan are better football teams.
Speaker 2 (16:31):
Sure, sure, but looking at the schedule as a whole,
Iowa wins, wins out and Michigan upsets Ohio State, Iowa
was in, Iowa was in the Big Ten championship game.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
I I'd really have to check some tiebreakers to Yeah,
I mean I I get yeah, I mean yeah, I
mean iwa, that requires Iowa winning out. That requires Iowa
winning out and then and then beating Indiana. But then again,
(17:10):
they could still get that fourth spot. Yeah, I sure.
I just don't think Iowa can win out. I just
don't think that they're that good.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
Uh smu. I think they have still one loss in conference.
They could potentially be like Clemson last year. They have
too many losses, but they can they can find their
way in, so they can backdoor their way in. But
they play some tough games Miami this weekend and they
(17:41):
play Louisville still on their schedule here, Cow has upset,
so they can play their way in. Is the point
they can play their way in? Yeah, so right now
I still put them in see but they can play
their way in.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
If they can play their way in, that's playoff lebble.
In my opinion, it might be a one week stay
in the playoff bubble, but it's based off of the
math and the opportunity ahead of them their playoff bubble.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
Geez, I'm looking here. Even though they lost recently, they
only have one again, another team with three losses, only
one in conference. Yep, Duke, looking at Duke. The rest
of their schedule are teams that that are behind them
except for Virginia. If they win Virginia, they win this
(18:35):
weekend against Clemson, they beat Virginia, you could see Duke
in the ACC championship game, potentially.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
I'll let you make this call. I made.
Speaker 2 (18:46):
They stay in C tier.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
Okay, right now, Utah in Big twelve.
Speaker 2 (18:54):
Lavee Utah. I think Utah still hold on. Let me
go back to Utah.
Speaker 1 (19:01):
Excuse me, excuse me, excuse me. They have the same
font I just threw myself through a loop there. I'm
talking about Houston. Utah is already in B tier. By
the way, they have the same logo. Can everyone just
take a look. They have the same logo, except one
of them's in h In my defense.
Speaker 2 (19:21):
Houston has a very very favorable rest of the schedule.
West Virginia, U, c f TCU, and Baylor. You can
see them being you can see them being in the
and they had a really big twelve championship, had a
really big win last week. Yeah. The kids Arizona State, Yeah,
(19:42):
I think they're in B tier.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
Okay, Yeah, And by the way, either either Utah or Houston.
When have you changed your logo?
Speaker 2 (19:53):
Yeah? Thanks, I think TCUs TCUs on the I think
stays in c but they could place Boilers. They played
they played BYU, then Houston, then Cincinnati. This whole play spoilers,
but they're on the outside.
Speaker 1 (20:08):
This whole discussion is why the twelve team playoff actually rocks. Yes,
because conference championship games have meaning. Now maybe less so,
maybe less so in the SEC and the Big Ten,
but for all the other conferences, winning your conference all
(20:30):
of a sudden is super important. Kyle, Before the twelve
team playoff, you and I would not have ever given
two shits about the ACC standings or the Big Twelve standings,
the conference standings. Who has what? We just wouldn't have cared.
This is This is much more fun. I like this
a lot.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
You have Boise State and San Diego State from the
Mountain West. Yeah, I have them in a lot of help.
Speaker 1 (20:59):
I have them in C plus because I think they
deserve to be in C plus they're the leaders in
the Mountain West. And but I'm still you too, But
I still there in the sun in the Sun Belt.
But I still very firmly believe that the fifth champion
will come from the American.
Speaker 2 (21:16):
I would agree too.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
I think they belong in C plus, but I don't
think they belong in B because I just think, I
just I feel very confident that that that last teams
coming from the American and not the Mountain West or
the Sun Belt.
Speaker 2 (21:32):
Yep, all right, wrap it up here, s Tier. We
have Ohio State, Indiana, Alabama, Texas, A and m A Tier, Oregon, Georgia, Miami, Georgia, Tech,
Notre Dame b y u Ole, miss and the Green
Wave of two Lane. All right, we are going to

Speaker 1 (22:36):
Right, Kyle. We have some bad news, some some some
borderline upsettingly sad news. All right, I dropped four games
to you in the Sloop picks just last week.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
It's bad news.
Speaker 1 (22:52):
On on this side of the microphone, it is, yes,
all right.
Speaker 2 (22:57):
So I am now of the internet pipes.
Speaker 1 (23:00):
Yes, I am in l six games behind you. Spikes,
who was our guest picker last week, UH got four games,
which which has now put the the collective community now
three games ahead of me. You are total of six
(23:20):
games ahead of me. And I'm in. I'm in, I'm
in dead I mean, I mean, I'm in, I'm in
super last. Right now, I will say for anyone who
likes rooting against the overdogs, uh Duncan and not sun
Card won the weekly web picks last week, so sun
Card got d throned.
Speaker 2 (23:39):
I mean, I mean, I would say in our picks
here you are not dead last here for last.
Speaker 1 (23:46):
I understand that as far as the the on screen
scoreboard goes, I am dead last.
Speaker 2 (23:51):
Sure, sure, all right, let's let's go ahead and get
let's go ahead and get into it. Speaking of people
who are in last, Austin is our guest speaker for
for this week.
Speaker 1 (24:04):
Here, Hey, miss, mister mister knows it all about Alabama
and all the other teams. Isn't exactly showing he knows
it all in the slypics, is all I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (24:18):
Yeah, sure, all right, let's go. Let's go and jump
right into it here.
Speaker 3 (24:23):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (24:23):
First off, we have Miami on the road to take
on s m U or s m U is a
nine and a half point underdog noon kickoff. I'll let
you start, Jared, You're gonna.
Speaker 1 (24:37):
Let me start.
Speaker 2 (24:40):
I'll let you start.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
It's so very generous of you. SMU is a fine team,
I think. But Miami is a very good team. And
I know that they they faltered on the road or
was it at home? I've actually already forgotten. Uh, but
they faltered against a lesser team. But I still think
(25:04):
that they're a very good football team. I think maybe
they might be a little bit more motivated to throw
up some style points now that they have a loss
on the record. As we were just talking about, with
the ACC standings, there is potentially not that like safe,
like it's not a guarantee they're going to the ACC
(25:25):
conference game. They might need to get in on some
style points. They're gonna need to show out and SMU
might be the victim of that. So give me Miami.
Nine and a half points is not.
Speaker 2 (25:38):
Enough, yep, I agree. Two possession or yeah, two possession
game here. I like Miami's odds. Here, I'll take Miami
on the road to cover the nine and a half points,
all right, And Austin, excuse me, sorry about that. Austin
(25:59):
sets here. Miami going away from the state of Florida
for the first time this season. Crazy stacks going into
November first, and they're finally playing a football game away
from the state of Florida.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
It's a wild stack.
Speaker 2 (26:15):
That is a wild wild stat But he has SMU
to cover. At least he has. He has scored Miami
twenty six SMU seventeen, which is a nine point. Makes
me feel.
Speaker 1 (26:29):
Florida is a pick here. Florida is a big state.
Speaker 2 (26:33):
Makes me feel better about my pick, all right. Next
next up here vander Belt on the road to take
on Texas, and Texas at home is a three and
a half point favorite, So Vegas is saying at a
neutral site, these teams are equal.
Speaker 1 (26:57):
Yeah, I guess he's what they're saying.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
I don't know, Vanderbilt just has that swag in them
right now. I know it's gonna be tough. I know
it's tough on the road here, and they've they've been
getting it done here, They've been getting it done. I mean,
you're you're handicapping Vanderbilt three and a half points. I'll
I'll take that. I'll take those points there, so I
(27:21):
at least at least get Vanderbilt to cover.
Speaker 1 (27:25):
Yeah, I agree. I think Vanderbilt has a lot of
momentum right now. I think they look really good right now.
Speaker 2 (27:39):
There is solidify Texas stays an em tier.
Speaker 1 (27:43):
Yeah, Kyle and I have already put Texas in EM
tier that, you know, so we kind of have to
back that horse, I'm kidding. And whether this is a
good thing or a bad thing is yet to be seen.
But last we heard word, arch Manning is not practicing.
He's in concussion protocol. So who's even going to be
(28:06):
the quarterback for Texas? And again, whether having arch Manning
be out's a good thing or a bad thing is
maybe up for discussion. But an unknown is an unknown.
So gimme Vanderbilt, yep.
Speaker 2 (28:20):
Any and Austin simply says, horns down Vanny with the upset.
Speaker 1 (28:28):
I mean, yeah, I guess technically per Vegas, it's an
upset per the AP, it is not correct.
Speaker 2 (28:34):
Yeah, all right. Next up here, Georgia and Florida, World's
biggest outdoor cocktail party.
Speaker 1 (28:44):
Yes it is still called that. I don't care what
anyone says.
Speaker 2 (28:48):
Florida is a seven and a half point underdog in
this matchup. It is your pick, Jared.
Speaker 1 (28:59):
Yeah, I still just don't like Georgia all that much.
And granted I don't like Florida that much either, but
it crossed the magic number for me. Had this been
six and a half, I would have gone with Georgia
at seven and a half that that was enough for me.
(29:20):
I don't I don't think Florida is super likely to
win the game, don't get me.
Speaker 3 (29:24):
Wrong, but.
Speaker 1 (29:28):
Under a score, I'll take. Under a score, george has
not been blowing teams out this year. Florida still has
a very good defense, although maybe don't look quite as
good as they did early in the season. But still
I'm gonna take unless they.
Speaker 2 (29:48):
Go up again to a good offensive team, which Georgia
is not. Florida to cover.
Speaker 1 (29:58):
I got Florida to cover.
Speaker 2 (30:04):
I think this is going to be similar to like
the Florida and Texas A and M game. Here, I
think I think George is gonna run away with this. Yep,
that half point there or that point there that does
worry me a little bit. But I'm I'll pick the
Bulldogs here. I'll picked the Bulldogs to cover. MHM. And
(30:24):
Austin says here, I've never been a big Esquire fan anyways,
So he picks Florida to upset.
Speaker 1 (30:34):
Oh boy, they're both in the They're both in the
chat right now. This is gonna get awkward. Huh, that's funny.
Speaker 2 (30:45):
Monster, all right, who you got, Jared?
Speaker 1 (30:49):
I already did that.
Speaker 2 (30:50):
Never mind, never mind. We're moving on to the next
one here, and that is Oklahoma on the road to Tennessee,
where Tennessee is a three and a half point favorite
at home, and that is not enough to scare me.
I'll pick the Volunteers to win and cover in this matchup.
Speaker 1 (31:12):
Kyle taking Keenness. See uh, I like, I'm just gonna
be real with you. I dislike both of these teams.
Sure to give. I'm gonna take the points. I'm not
picking either team, I'm picking the points.
Speaker 2 (31:34):
Okay, give me the.
Speaker 1 (31:36):
Underdog, which happens to be Oklahoma. That's I was, That's
who I was gonna pick this game. I don't care
for either of these teams.
Speaker 2 (31:45):
All right, And Austin has here, it just means more.
And he has Tennessee to cover by a lot as
his tradition. Uh, where's my thing?
Speaker 1 (32:03):
Here?
Speaker 2 (32:03):
We go?
Speaker 3 (32:03):
All right?
Speaker 2 (32:04):
Next up here we have Nebraska hosting USC night game.
Speaker 4 (32:13):
Uh, and.
Speaker 2 (32:16):
USC on the road is a six and a half
point favorite. I lost track there, But your pick here, Jared,
you got USC to cover or or yeah, I'm sorry,
do you have Nebraska covering? Or do you have USC?
Speaker 1 (32:33):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (32:33):
The minu six and a half.
Speaker 1 (32:35):
You got there? Eventually. Not a body clock issue is
this is being played at night. Also, Nebraska is not
even that far east really, so it's just it's just
time zones, just two time zones. It's being played at night,
so we're we're not worried about body clock issues in
this game. I don't think I. I just think you
(32:59):
US is the better football team right now. And again
it's that it's that magic tipping point for me, had
this been seven and a half and may have gone
with Nebraska at six and a half give me the charges.
Speaker 2 (33:24):
Yeah, I'm I think this is gonna be I think
it's gonna be a dog fight.
Speaker 1 (33:29):
I think it's a perfect for the record.
Speaker 2 (33:31):
Uh huh, yeah, it really is. I I don't feel
good about either either side. So I guess I'll pick
Nebraska here to cover the six and the six and
a half points. I mean at home at night, you
never know, I mean, especially this this late in the season.
(33:54):
I mean, why why not another another chaos in here?
Why not?
Speaker 1 (34:02):
I don't know if I counted this. I mean, I
guess for our game it counts as chaos, but I
don't think USC counts as chaos at this point.
Speaker 2 (34:10):
All right, Next up, Jared is, well, hold on, did
you get Oh yeah, Austin's boy, Yeah, Austin. Austin's pick here,
he says, corn, No corn. He has USC winning by fourteen.
Speaker 1 (34:25):
I'm pretty sure they still grow corn in California. Maybe
not southern California though.
Speaker 2 (34:30):
Yeah. All right, all right, Now we go on to
Cincinnati on the road to Utah or U Tall, the
higher ranked team is a seven and a half point
favorite at home, Yes, sir, and actually Jared, it's gone
up to eight in a half, really, but CBS locked
(34:55):
it in at seven and a half, So we are
picking seven and a half. I I'm gonna go with Cincinnati.
I mean, I what what's the hate on Cincinnati here? Like?
What is it that?
Speaker 1 (35:08):
Like?
Speaker 2 (35:09):
Was it because at Utah's big win or blowout over Colorado?
Colorado's terrible this year?
Speaker 1 (35:15):
I agree, No, I totally agree. I don't understand this
line at all.
Speaker 2 (35:22):
I like Cincinnati's offense. They sort of Be's a pretty
good quarterback. He's throwing twenty touchdowns already this season.
Speaker 1 (35:30):
I will say, I will say there is a body
clock issue here that might be that might be moving
some of the points the Bearcats. The Bearcats are kicking
off at ten to fifteen pm, yeah, ten fifteen Yeah,
starting at a football game at ten to fifteen pm.
(35:51):
That is a body clock issue.
Speaker 2 (35:54):
Yeah. I'm not sure who how that ended up that way, but.
Speaker 1 (35:58):
I mean, honestly, it's it's almost it. It's just as
egregious as forcing West Coast teams to kick off at
nine o'clock per their nine o'clock am, per their body clock.
Speaker 2 (36:10):
Yeah, I'll take Cincinnati.
Speaker 1 (36:14):
I'm taking Cincinnati as well.
Speaker 5 (36:15):
I was.
Speaker 1 (36:17):
I was all ready to not take Cincinnati because of
the body clock issue, which again might be why the
spread is what it is, because you know, I don't know.
I still think Cincinnati wins this football game. I think
(36:38):
Cincinnati wins this football game, period, let alone, giving me
a seven and a half point buffer, right.
Speaker 2 (36:50):
Right, And Austin says here, I always like Joe Royer,
real grinder, hard worker, first one in, last one out,
type of kid you would let your daughter date, played
lacrosse in high school, natural leader, your lunch, quicker than fast,
got lots of moxy, lots of moxy. Yeah he's got
(37:11):
Cincinnati big.
Speaker 1 (37:15):
All right?
Speaker 2 (37:15):
And last one here, we will we will just make
our pick says we will cover this game in Thursday's
episode and know your enemy is what we cover the
Penn State to game. But the line is twenty and
a half points for the home team at noon. Uh
it is your pick, Jared, Do you have hostate covering
(37:38):
the twenty and a half or do you think this
will be closer.
Speaker 1 (37:41):
Depending upon the casino, because depending upon the casino might
might change where the Ohio game went. So, but depending
upon the casino, Ohio State is not just undefeated this year,
but they're undefeated against the spread this year. Ohio State. Again,
(38:03):
depending upon the casino, they might have not covered against Ohio,
but depending on the casino, Ohio State is undefeated against
the spread this year. I don't think that's changing. I
I'll I'll tell you why on Thursday. We're not doing
(38:25):
the why here today.
Speaker 2 (38:29):
But I have some predictions, all right, I yeah, I
got a hot state covering here as well. Penn State's
not scoring points. They're not scoring points there. They may
score a field goal to field goals max max, Hio
(38:51):
State big.
Speaker 1 (38:53):
And who does Austin have?
Speaker 2 (38:56):
Uh he says here, feel bad for chest I think
we'll cover that. Sure, sure, yeah, yeah, he has a
honestate winning and covering. Okay, sure, all right, and real
quick here, real quick, here is our chaos theory. We
pick up team who's unranked to be a ranked team,
(39:21):
and I will go I will go first here. That way,
there's nobody complaining about me cheating.
Speaker 1 (39:28):
Well, definitely, don't look at the screen because I forgot
to hide Austin and ice picks, so they're already on
the screen. So just to look at the screen, just
don't look at the screen, close your eyes.
Speaker 2 (39:40):
I wasn't. That was not one of my two picks. Really,
that was not one of my two picks. The two
teams I'm down to, Jared Jared go away, Yeah, Florida.
So it looks like Jared and Austin picked Florida, which
would be twenty one points if they give them. But
(40:01):
I'm gosh, I'm I'm torn either between Kansas State upsetting
Texas Tech that Kansas State always has a game every
year where they upset a team.
Speaker 1 (40:16):
Kyle, I told you before we started recording that I
thought there were two very good chaos pero chaos theory picks.
Speaker 3 (40:24):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (40:25):
Obviously, I think Florida beating Georgia is one of them.
I'll tell you right now. Kansas State was not one
for me, but I don't hate it. No, no, not
be in state.
Speaker 2 (40:38):
The other one, Jared, is a night game in Raleigh
as a only a five and a half point underdog
yellow Jackets could lose their first game of the season.
Speaker 1 (40:55):
And that was that was the other one. I was
considering that, and that's the one.
Speaker 2 (41:00):
That's the one I'm going to go with a lot
of points.
Speaker 1 (41:02):
At points there do the emotes, guys, a.
Speaker 2 (41:06):
Lot of points there, give me those eighteen points.
Speaker 1 (41:11):
How we should go do the thing? Guys, I need
you to do the thing.
Speaker 2 (41:16):
Gosh, let me, let me, let me get let me
let me get back to you on Austin about it.
Let me see if we can make that happen.
Speaker 1 (41:25):
And c State and uh sorry, what's Georgia Tech currently
ranked eight?
Speaker 2 (41:32):
So that'll be eighteen points?
Speaker 1 (41:34):
Eight goes eighteen?
Speaker 2 (41:36):
Yes, all right, that's it.
Speaker 1 (41:41):
Looking for it. It's not a sticker. It got demoted
away from sticker. You have to do the emote.
Speaker 2 (41:53):
That's all, Jared.
Speaker 1 (41:54):
That is it.
Speaker 2 (41:54):
We well over time here, so we are just going
