Speaker 1 (00:00):
This is Skyline Chili sincey three to sixty about Cincinnati
from Cincinnati, sponsored in part by Skyline Chile. Stop by
Skyline Chili for a three way or cheese coney today.
Feeling good, It's Skyline time. This is ESPN fifteen thirty
Cincinnati Sports Station.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
All Right, welcome in, Happy Wednesday, Happy Thanksgiving Eve. I'm
gonna talk fast because we only got a few minutes
with you today thanks to our friends at Skyline Chili.
Also thank you to our friends at Cincy Shirts and
Penn Stations. We're not gonna be able to get to
them today. Why Austin, because the Norse are getting ready
to tip off in just a few minutes.
Speaker 3 (00:36):
We got a long way to go and a short
time to get here.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
Yeah, we ain't got a lot of time here. Look,
Nku tips off in at one o'clock, which means their
pregame show starts at twelve thirty, So we're only here
for a half hour to day. So we're gonna open
the show. We're gonna do a pick them because it's
my last show of the week, and after that you're
off the hook. We're done, done until after Thanksgiving. We
don't have much time today. But what I can can't
(01:00):
tell you.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
I don't know much tone. But I do know one
thing for certain. It's a bad day to be Chris Mack.
Bad day to be bad day to be Chris Mack. Well,
you know, I got to say.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
What's understood ain't got to be explained period. I heard.
Speaker 3 (01:15):
I heard Tom Horan, our sales guy. He said he
was playing Wheezy earlier today. He was playing that song. Yep,
he said. Joe Mixon inspired him. Man preach, big stepping,
go crazy, Jo d preach.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
Here's what we got coming up. Tipping off right now,
Louisville at Indiana, let's go. It's only a two and
a half point spread. That tells me Pat Kelsey's doing
a pretty good job already yet at Louisville. Also later
on today, get this, Austin Dayton is playing Yukon in
(01:45):
the seventh place game of the Maui Invitational.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
It's amazing that Dan Hurley has made it this fuss
seventh place. I can't believe he's still with us, based
on the reactions we've seen from him over the last
couple of days in Mallie. To pick himself up off
the floor again, yesd Yeah, yeah, I really worry about him.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
Xavier takes on Michigan tonight, Okay, or as Ohio State
people would say Michigan tonight.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
We don't say it like that normally, just say the
Wolverines or that team up.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
North, gotcha. That's at eight thirty. Alabama State takes on Cincinnati.
You heard West Miller yesterday and overlooking anybody.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
No, you shouldn't. Good clean ball club.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
Yeah, over the weekend.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
I don't know anything about him.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
TCU travels to Nipper to take on the Bearcats Michigan
Ohio State this weekend. Sorry, the Wolverines out Ohio State
this weekend.
Speaker 3 (02:34):
You don't got to do that.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
You'll just be you, Okay. Steelers Bengals this week on Sunday.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
Those two games got me a little high strung. Yeah,
I'm a little irritable.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
I mean, that's kind of everything that we have going on. Yeah,
that's kind of setting the stage for everything that you
need to know. Kansas in a fantastic game last night,
comes out on top against Duke. We mentioned Dan hurt
tough two days at the Malley Invitational. But what I
wanted to dive into because we have a couple of minutes.
(03:06):
Here Austin is the college football playoff rankings that were
released last night. Now, the top four have remained the
same from a first round by standpoint, Oregon, Texas, Miami,
Boise State, Arizona State has entered the top twelve at
(03:27):
number twelve. Georgia is in SMU is in at number ten.
Indiana is the eleven seed, which means on the outside
looking in Clemson and Alabama. One thing I saw last night,
I'm like, they haven't shut the door on Alabama completely,
which worries me. They never will, right, Clemson, Bama, Texas,
(03:48):
A and M and BYU are the first four out.
But the overall takeaway, and I saw this everywhere last night,
and it's what immediately jumped out to me, is that
there will be a Big Ten tie game played. And
in all, I would say, unless something crazy happens, Ohio
(04:08):
State and Oregon are playing in that Big Ten title game.
What throws me off if you look at the way
the bracket projection is set up, Oregon is the number
one overall seed would take on the winner of Tennessee
and Georgia, whereas Ohio State, who is the second best
(04:29):
team in the country. But the five seed as of
right now would take on Arizona State, who has to
come to the Shoe, and then Boise State. This is
the flaw, This is the problem, Austin, because I know
that you want to win every game, right, you gotta
win whenever you step on the field. But there's a
(04:51):
legitimate argument that the path to a national championship is
easier as the five seed than it is is the
one seed, right, And that's an issue.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
Like I almost see Oregon could view the Big Ten
Championship game as like an NFL team in Week eighteen, Right,
you know, a team it's already got the bye locked
up or whatever it might be. Oregon, it does not
it will not matter to them whether or not they
have a bye, right or if they lose the Big
Ten Championship, because the easier schedule is them losing the
(05:27):
Big Ten Championship. So they could essentially view the Big
Ten Championship as a bye week, as a rest week,
as a depth week, and no big deal if we win,
no big deal. If we lose, we're gonna go to
the playoffs, and we'd rather host Arizona State and then
go to Boise State. Then we would have to wait
(05:47):
around a week to see whether or not Tennessee or
Georgia's coming to our.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
Play Right, the winner at all of this is Texas
and Miami. Yeah, who would I mean? Miami in this
projection would wait around for the winner of Indiana and
Penn State.
Speaker 3 (06:02):
Sign them up.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
Texas is waiting the winner of SMU and Notre Dame,
and then essentially the winners of those games get to
play to go to the national title. When the powerhouse Tennessee, Georgia,
Ohio State, Oregon are all in top half of the bracket, yeah,
it makes look I'm for the twelve team, but the
way this bracket shapes up is a legitimate problem.
Speaker 3 (06:27):
This is why I said from the very beginning, automatic
buys are stupid. Automatic bids in and of themselves are stupid.
I do not think that because you won your conference
you should get into the college football Playoff. Not every
conference is built the same, not every conference is governed
the same. There are no rules in college football that
(06:48):
make anything fair, so there shouldn't be in the college
football playoff that make anything fair. They should put the
twelve best teams in the playoff, no matter what I
don't care about conference. I don't care about money, I
don't care about nil. Who are the twelve best teams? That,
at the core is what the College Football Playoff Committee
is all about. And especially if you are going to
(07:10):
do automatic bids, that's fine. Do not give automatic buys.
Do it like you did the last several years, and
the committee picks which four are the best four and
those four teams, based on their resume, have earned a buy,
not by winning a bad conference. Essentially, you cannot tell
me that the SEC and the Big Twelve are the same.
(07:32):
You can't tell me that the SEC and the Big
Ten are the same. They're not. Like, there has to
be something that rewards the best teams and not just
the conference champions. Yea, and I think the easiest way
to do this would be to reset it after the
first round. Oregon would then get the most favorable matchup
(07:53):
because they earned the number one seed if they win
the Big Ten championship and so on or however the
committee season.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
Let me bounce one thing on the Big Twelve, flirting
with disaster a little bit. The rules of the twelve
team guarantee playoff bids for the five highest ranked conference
champions period. That does not mean it's a guarantee for
the Power four conference champions. So in theory, all five
conference champions could be from the Group of five. The
reality this year, Austin is the Big Twelve. The champion
(08:21):
should and probably will be in, but it would be
stunning if they were left out. But the league's not
doing itself any favors. Arizona State is number sixteen overall
in the rankings, just a step above number seventeen twu Lane.
So if the Big twelve champion has three losses and
a two loss Tulane runs the table and finishes as
a two loss AAC champion, Yeah, they're in. That could
(08:42):
get interesting for the Big Twelve, who's not done themselves
many favors. It seems like madness all around. Speaking of
the Big Twelve, Dion did say that this is not
the last game Shador and Travis Hunter are playing, making
it seem like regardless of where they're out there going
to play in the Bowl game, which okay, I like
to see players playing bowl games more than what they're doing. Right.
Speaker 3 (09:02):
Again, paid a lot of money to play for that game.
So but by the way, did you see the video
I know, we only have like a minute here, Dave
Portnoy about how involved in the Bryce Underwood flip to Michigan.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
Yep, you got the second richest man in the world. Now.
Speaker 3 (09:18):
Now that is so. That stuff has been happening for
a long time. But to see it open and just
like out in the open like that, it makes me
feel icky.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
They had one call to see how much money they
could essentially guarantee, uh huh. Then they got in a
call with Underwood, right the donors, and Tom Brady jumped on.
Speaker 3 (09:37):
Yeah. Next thing, you know, he's got a barstool collab
coming up on and he's getting twelve million dollars from
three of the richest people in the country.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
Unbelievable.
Speaker 3 (09:46):
And I saw a tweet this morning, like you know
how we talked about the live golf and the impact
of Saudi Arabia and that type of money sports. Yeah,
wait till, wait till there's a Saudi Arabia person that
comes from a ton of money that loves sports in
the United States, loves college sports, and.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
He's a huge Temple thing.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
He could be Temple, he could be Cincinnati, he could
be anybody. Okay, And it's like Okay, well, how does
that start to change the game. It is a slippery slope.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
We try to change the game every day here on six.
Speaker 3 (10:16):
What a tangled web we weave.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
And while we only have one more segment with you today,
we'll go out in a big way as Austin went
a big way last time, and covering the gap and
now extending his lead in our pick him segment.
Speaker 3 (10:27):
Yeah, well we didn't have a pick him last week.
You got Scared.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
Monster week two weeks ago. Austin is well ahead right now.
We'll make some picks when we get back to finish
up today's edition of Sincey three to sixty, because then
KU basketball is coming up.
Speaker 3 (10:39):
Nor's up.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
It's on ESPN fifteen thirty.
Speaker 3 (10:41):
Cincinnatt Stage waste of Jim Kelch and Rick Browy on
ESPN fifteen thirty.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
All right, here we go, Welcome back Cincy three to
sixty thanks to Skyline Chili. Oh yeah, we got about
twelve minutes to get through twenty games.
Speaker 3 (10:56):
We can do that, all right, We've done better.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
All right, let's start in the High School Slate State
Championship Semifinals. Molar after beating Sanax takes on Centerville No.
Surprise here men of Molar, right through those doors. Gimme Moler.
Speaker 3 (11:11):
Some people are wondering if this will be a Herb
Street revenge game.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
Oh good one.
Speaker 3 (11:15):
You know he is a Centerville elk. That's right, and
Moler just beat his son last week. I'll take Moler.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
Okay. How about Anderson versus Sunbury Big Walnut, right, might
be my favorite school we've ever done here.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
Listen. I don't like to pick against local teams. But
if there's if that's a real place, Sunbury Big Walnut, yep,
I can't not pick them.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
Okay, I'm gonna take Anderson.
Speaker 3 (11:40):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
They came up short last year in this game. They
won't do it this time. By the way, Sunbury Big Walnut,
I just want to say as many time as possible. Sure,
they just beat Masalon last week.
Speaker 3 (11:49):
Masilin, Masilin not how about Masolin's my favorite school in
Ohio not named Sydney.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
How about Taft against Indian Valley, you got.
Speaker 3 (11:59):
I feel like there's four thousand Indian Valleys in the
state of Ohio. I'm gonna take Taft.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
Okay, in this one, I'm taking Indian Valley because I
feel like I don't know which one it is, but
whatever one is playing, I think they beat Taft Beechwood
in Northern Kentucky against Lexington Christian It is wash Rent's
repeat for me and these men from Beechwood. I don't
know how they do it. Jordan Franks remember him, Felipe
Franks's brother, Jordan fran Franks played a little bit with
(12:25):
the Bengals. He's on the staff at Beachwood. Oh really, Yeah,
he's doing good thing. He's good things. Yeah, number eighty packers.
For a second, he's coaching at Beechwood. I think I
think he's got these guys ready. I like Beechwood.
Speaker 3 (12:38):
I'll take Beachwood as well.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
How about this last week, covecath with one of the
biggest upsets as I read it, in the last decade
in high school sports. Yeah, Boyle County was that good.
Cove caf took care of Boyle, shocked the world. Can
they go to Franklin County and shock the world again?
Speaker 3 (12:56):
Yeah, Franklin County is a lot better than Boyle. I'll
take Franklin.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
Yeah, I got go Franklin as well. They had their
moment last week and uh lux run out that ends
till the cuffcaff. I'm sorry, done end tonight. It's Friday,
so enjoy the next couple of days. Cuffcaf all right,
college hoops again. Mention this just a few minutes ago, Austin.
This is an seventh and eighth place game in the
Maui Invitational, Yukon versus Dayton. I viewed Dayton completely different
(13:22):
than I did a week ago on the UC Bearcat schedule,
because they took North Carolina the wire and last night
took Iowa State to the wire. Fell apart just a
little bit late. They're gonna get twelve and a half
today against Yukon. What do you got?
Speaker 3 (13:35):
I think Dayton's got some good momentum. I think Yukon
is unhappy and Dan Hurley is probably trying to kill
those kids the way he's making him work after a
couple of losses. You know, Hawaii the Island time getting
to him.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
I'll take Dayton, okay, I'll I'll go opposite with the Huskers,
just because I think they are going to respond in
a big way, and I think Dayton's got to be
worn down a little bit from the last two nights.
Speaking of a team that's making a nice little run
at the Malley Invitational. How about Memphis winners over Yukon
winners over Michigan State, Austin de Memphis Tiger Penny Penny Hardaway. Yeah,
(14:13):
got these guys playing well. This is the championship game
of the Malley Invitational. They got to do against the
number four ranked team in the country, Auburn, who's playing
at a high level. Auburn's going to be favored by
eight and a half in this one. I am going
to take Bruce Pearl's bunch. Give me Auburn.
Speaker 3 (14:26):
You know, I got a text late last night that
said Bruce Pearl with a beard is a doppelganger for
Chad Brindle, and Chad Brindle's been acting ridiculous on Twitter.
So I'll take Memphis.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
How about the team up North versus Xavier tonight?
Speaker 3 (14:43):
Thank you man, thank you for the respect.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
Xavier getting a point and a half. That's so disrespectful.
We keep it right down the middle with all local
teams on this show. NKU, Dayton, Cincinnati, Louisville, Xavier. Give
me the Xavier Musketeers tonight against Michigan.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
And I know one thing for sir, Xavier doesn't have
football and a lot of Xavier basketball fans or Ohio
State football fans. You be damned if I'm picking anybody
but Xavier in this game. I got Xavier up to
eleven and a half to cover man.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
What about thirty and a half? You see?
Speaker 3 (15:14):
Seems too much. It's way too much. That seems too much.
And I think I think they could win by twenty nine. Yes,
thirty seems like a lot that thirty. I was shocked.
I'm gonna take Alabama State plus thirty and a half. Okay, yeah,
me too. We're on the same page the day before Thanksgiving. Yeah,
maybe it's a good team. Maybe a sleepy home game.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
If they're being good teams by thirty.
Speaker 3 (15:34):
One, students aren't on campus look out. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
Okay. College football proved me wrong. College football South Carolina
boom boom at clembson boom. South Carolina is a bad
call away against LSU from probably being in the twelve.
That's a good football team of South Carolina. They go
to Death Valley. They're at Clemson. Clemson's favored by two
and a half. What do you think?
Speaker 3 (15:56):
Yeah, I don't feel like Clemson's good.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
I don't either.
Speaker 3 (16:00):
Keep saying that, and yet they keep kind of hanging
around two and a half at home, though. I feel
like that's a good enough number for them to cover.
So I will take Clemson to cover, but I don't
really believe it.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
I'm gonna take because you don't really believe it. South Carolina, Okay,
just because of how good they've played. I mean, they
have went toe to toe with everyone on their schedule.
I like South Carolina in this one. There's a lot
of people wanting anarchy, wanting madness with the college football
playoff that would ensue if all of a sudden, Texas
also becomes a two loss set team. They go to
(16:32):
Texas A and M A and M a terrible loss
against Auburn last week, Texas has to lay five. I'm
comfortable with Texas lane five in this game. I'll take
the long Horns.
Speaker 3 (16:41):
You know, I originally did take Texas, but I'm changing
my mind.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
Okay, well because of Mike Elcho, I.
Speaker 3 (16:48):
Am changing my I don't like Mike Elko. He wears
those hoodies that don't fit him.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
Yep.
Speaker 3 (16:53):
Kyle Field though, Okay, plus five. I'll take the Aggies
to keep it close. Now, this do and remembrance of
Johnny football.
Speaker 2 (17:03):
I think this game is going to be phenomenal. It's
for Iowa State a chance to enter themselves into the
Big Ten Big Twelve title game. Kansas State cannot get there.
But what I learned last week Austin and Manhattan is
that there is a legit hate between Kansas State and
Iowa State. I didn't know it was this big of
a hatred between these two. I think Kansas State, with
(17:25):
Avery Johnson at quarterback, is the better team, even though
it's at Iowa State. I watched these two teams the
last two weeks. I think Kansas State's better. I'll take
them interesting against Iowa State.
Speaker 3 (17:35):
I'll take Iowa State. You know, the one of the
nastiest rivals, rivalries nobody talks about is Kansas and Missouri. Yeah,
have you ever heard of like the song that the
people at Missouri, the poem that people at It's like
God a hate kuh and then it goes into just terrible,
terrible things about Kansas and the University of Kansas. So
(17:55):
we're sleeping on rivalries in that part of the country. Apparently,
I'll take Iowa State cycle a half at you know,
my buddy went to the UC Iowa State game. He said,
cute little stadium. I'll take Iowa State.
Speaker 2 (18:08):
I'll let you introduce and make the first pick of
this next game.
Speaker 3 (18:11):
This is what football is all about.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
This whoa, whoa wha we're doing We're not doing TCU
since Notati yet, We're going to do that.
Speaker 3 (18:19):
This h State game first, is what rivalries are, okay
of It does not matter the records, it does not
matter the history. What matters is what happens at noon
at the Horseshoe in Columbus, Ohio. One of the oldest
rivalries in sports. And finally, just finally, it seems like
Ryan Day is starting to take this thing seriously. He's
(18:41):
starting to turn into a freak, a mastermind. He's been
bullied into taking this seriously, and it feels like we're
seeing a transformation now. When I saw this number, the
Ohio State Buckeyes favored by twenty one at home against
the Wolverines, my eyes bulled from my forehead. I could
(19:02):
not believe it. Twenty one point favorites. I'll take Ohio State.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
Yeah for me, this is easy Ohio State. You know
why because it's the last time in a long time
that we'll say that. Because of Larry Ellison and his
net worth of two hundred and thirty two point six
billion dollars. He is now on board at Michigan. And
this lady named Joelyn joe wife, Yeah, his wife.
Speaker 3 (19:30):
And Dave Fortnoy and Tom Brady.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
Yeah, she graduated from Michigan. He graduated from Illinois. Illinois's
got to be like, wait a second, how do we
get lost here? Yeah, two hundred and thirty two point
six billion dollars, They will have unlimited funds. All she
wants is to see Michigan win multiple national titles. It's
not happening this year. They know it. Ohio State knows it.
And I don't know how many days it's been since
(19:54):
Ohio State won this game, but there's a lot of
Ohio State out there that remembers these last couple of
years have been. I think this is an absolute bloodbath.
I think Ohio State maybe gives up a field goal
in this game. It's gonna be ugly. Buck Guy's cover
love it. TCU at Cincinnati, Thank you for the respect man,
(20:14):
tc you at Cincinnati. Don't you ever ever make the
Bearcats a home dog at night? Nip at night? And
they're getting three with ball eligibillity on the line. Watch
Scott Saderfield rally these troops on Saturday night. Watch the
Bearcats take care of business. Give me the Bearcats and
Corey Kiner to run for about two hundred on Saturday.
Speaker 3 (20:33):
Night TCU comfortably.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
You're sick. You're sick. That's a Texas team. They're gonna
be playing. It's gonna be twenty eight degrees in the
third quarter, and Kiner's just gonna be getting started. Bearcats cover.
Let's go to the NFL. We got three minutes here, Yeah,
Dolphins at Packers. Packers only got to lay three and
a half. This game's at Lambeau. I don't know exactly
(20:55):
the temperature. I know it's gonna be cold. Give me
the Packers.
Speaker 3 (20:57):
It's gonna be around twenty. I think this will be ugly.
Green Bay blows them out.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
Love it. Colts at Patriots, Now, this is one of
those lines. I looked at Austin and said, hu huh, Yeah,
Colts at Patriots. It's not even a field goal spread.
It's two and a half. What do you think?
Speaker 3 (21:11):
Yeah, don't forget a couple of years ago when Josh
McDaniels bailed on the Indianapolis Colts, and Chris Ballard said,
the rivalry is back off. Yes, this is a rivalry
and they're in New England. I'll take the Patriots to
cover two and a half.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
I'll take the Colts because if they don't win, I'll
be happy because that helps the Bengals. Brown's at Broncos.
You made a scenario this week Austin where all the
AFC North teams got in the playoffs.
Speaker 3 (21:33):
Possible.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
I would imagine that scenario only stays active if the
Browns take care of business in Debret Denvers looks so good.
They look like world beaters lately. There's no way they
slip up against Jamis Winston.
Speaker 3 (21:44):
Right, I don't think so. I think the Broncos cover
five and a half.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
I do too, Okay, I hate that I do, but
I do. I'm very intrigued in this game. Eagles Ravens,
what do you like in this one? And why? Because
both these teams are playing exceptionally well. On Smith didn't
play in the last game. He's gonna need to play
if they want to slow down Saquon Barkley at all.
Speaker 3 (22:04):
As far as I'm concerned, one of these teams is
about one tier above the other. Like the Eagles are
just a better football team, Okay, especially when it comes
to their defense. I like Philly in this.
Speaker 2 (22:16):
I'm gonna take Baltimore in this because it's in Baltimore,
and because Philly has been so good. I don't think
they can sustain that throughout the remainder of the season.
I mean, Philly has won now what seven games in
a row since that loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
After the Ravens are gonna play the Panthers, They're gonna
play the Steelers. They'll get right back on track. But
(22:38):
for Sunday, give me the Baltimore Ravens in this one.
They are calling for what could be incredible amounts of
snow and wind in Buffalo for the forty nine Ers
and Bills. You want to know how far the forty
nine ers have fallen. They're getting a touchdown, a full
touchdown in Buffalo. Does that make a difference.
Speaker 3 (22:55):
Sunday night football in Orchard Park, New York. The Niners
are way too good to be touchdown underdogs. I'll take
them to cover.
Speaker 2 (23:04):
I'm with you as well. I think Buffalo wins, But
you're giving me seven points with San Francisco. I'll take
all seven. The Steelers get three points. Coming into pay
Corpse Stadium on Sunday, it is a win or literally
go home for the Cincinnati Bengals. They got to bond
in LA, they got a bye week, and after the
(23:25):
bye week, the ping pong tables were reinstated at pay
Corpse Stadium. This team's had a long time to think
about all the problems they have. Here's what I know.
They have Joe Burrow, they have Jamar Chase, and the
Pittsburgh offense isn't going anywhere anytime fast. Give me the Bengals.
Hooday hooday hooday to win and cover on Sunday.
Speaker 3 (23:44):
There's no reason why the Bengals should be favored, but
they are. And you know what, football is better when
you believe. As long as there is delusion, there is hope.
Give me the Bengals.
Speaker 2 (23:55):
I love that. And speaking of hope, we hope you,
our listener is a fantastic, happy, safe Thanksgiving. Enjoy the
holiday for you. Yes, so grateful, so thankful for everything
that you guys continue to do for us by listening
each and every day. NKU basketball is coming up next

sixty thanks to Skyline Chili on ESPN fifteen thirty Cincinnati
Sports station
This is Skyline Chili sincey three to sixty about Cincinnati

Skyline Chili for a three way or cheese coney today.
Feeling good, It's Skyline time. This is ESPN fifteen thirty
Cincinnati Sports Station.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
All Right, welcome in, Happy Wednesday, Happy Thanksgiving Eve. I'm
gonna talk fast because we only got a few minutes
with you today thanks to our friends at Skyline Chili.
Also thank you to our friends at Cincy Shirts and
Penn Stations. We're not gonna be able to get to
them today. Why Austin, because the Norse are getting ready
to tip off in just a few minutes.
Speaker 3 (00:36):
We got a long way to go and a short
time to get here.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
Yeah, we ain't got a lot of time here. Look,
Nku tips off in at one o'clock, which means their
pregame show starts at twelve thirty, So we're only here
for a half hour to day. So we're gonna open
the show. We're gonna do a pick them because it's
my last show of the week, and after that you're
off the hook. We're done, done until after Thanksgiving. We
don't have much time today. But what I can can't
(01:00):
tell you.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
I don't know much tone. But I do know one
thing for certain. It's a bad day to be Chris Mack.
Bad day to be bad day to be Chris Mack. Well,
you know, I got to say.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
What's understood ain't got to be explained period. I heard.
Speaker 3 (01:15):
I heard Tom Horan, our sales guy. He said he
was playing Wheezy earlier today. He was playing that song. Yep,
he said. Joe Mixon inspired him. Man preach, big stepping,
go crazy, Jo d preach.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
Here's what we got coming up. Tipping off right now,
Louisville at Indiana, let's go. It's only a two and
a half point spread. That tells me Pat Kelsey's doing
a pretty good job already yet at Louisville. Also later
on today, get this, Austin Dayton is playing Yukon in
(01:45):
the seventh place game of the Maui Invitational.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
It's amazing that Dan Hurley has made it this fuss
seventh place. I can't believe he's still with us, based
on the reactions we've seen from him over the last
couple of days in Mallie. To pick himself up off
the floor again, yesd Yeah, yeah, I really worry about him.
Speaker 2 (02:04):
Xavier takes on Michigan tonight, Okay, or as Ohio State
people would say Michigan tonight.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
We don't say it like that normally, just say the
Wolverines or that team up.
Speaker 2 (02:13):
North, gotcha. That's at eight thirty. Alabama State takes on Cincinnati.
You heard West Miller yesterday and overlooking anybody.
Speaker 3 (02:21):
No, you shouldn't. Good clean ball club.
Speaker 2 (02:25):
Yeah, over the weekend.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
I don't know anything about him.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
TCU travels to Nipper to take on the Bearcats Michigan
Ohio State this weekend. Sorry, the Wolverines out Ohio State
this weekend.
Speaker 3 (02:34):
You don't got to do that.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
You'll just be you, Okay. Steelers Bengals this week on Sunday.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
Those two games got me a little high strung. Yeah,
I'm a little irritable.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
I mean, that's kind of everything that we have going on. Yeah,
that's kind of setting the stage for everything that you
need to know. Kansas in a fantastic game last night,
comes out on top against Duke. We mentioned Dan hurt
tough two days at the Malley Invitational. But what I
wanted to dive into because we have a couple of minutes.
(03:06):
Here Austin is the college football playoff rankings that were
released last night. Now, the top four have remained the
same from a first round by standpoint, Oregon, Texas, Miami,
Boise State, Arizona State has entered the top twelve at
(03:27):
number twelve. Georgia is in SMU is in at number ten.
Indiana is the eleven seed, which means on the outside
looking in Clemson and Alabama. One thing I saw last night,
I'm like, they haven't shut the door on Alabama completely,
which worries me. They never will, right, Clemson, Bama, Texas,
(03:48):
A and M and BYU are the first four out.
But the overall takeaway, and I saw this everywhere last night,
and it's what immediately jumped out to me, is that
there will be a Big Ten tie game played. And
in all, I would say, unless something crazy happens, Ohio
(04:08):
State and Oregon are playing in that Big Ten title game.
What throws me off if you look at the way
the bracket projection is set up, Oregon is the number
one overall seed would take on the winner of Tennessee
and Georgia, whereas Ohio State, who is the second best
(04:29):
team in the country. But the five seed as of
right now would take on Arizona State, who has to
come to the Shoe, and then Boise State. This is
the flaw, This is the problem, Austin, because I know
that you want to win every game, right, you gotta
win whenever you step on the field. But there's a
(04:51):
legitimate argument that the path to a national championship is
easier as the five seed than it is is the
one seed, right, And that's an issue.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
Like I almost see Oregon could view the Big Ten
Championship game as like an NFL team in Week eighteen, Right,
you know, a team it's already got the bye locked
up or whatever it might be. Oregon, it does not
it will not matter to them whether or not they
have a bye, right or if they lose the Big
Ten Championship, because the easier schedule is them losing the
(05:27):
Big Ten Championship. So they could essentially view the Big
Ten Championship as a bye week, as a rest week,
as a depth week, and no big deal if we win,
no big deal. If we lose, we're gonna go to
the playoffs, and we'd rather host Arizona State and then
go to Boise State. Then we would have to wait
(05:47):
around a week to see whether or not Tennessee or
Georgia's coming to our.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
Play Right, the winner at all of this is Texas
and Miami. Yeah, who would I mean? Miami in this
projection would wait around for the winner of Indiana and
Penn State.
Speaker 3 (06:02):
Sign them up.
Speaker 2 (06:04):
Texas is waiting the winner of SMU and Notre Dame,
and then essentially the winners of those games get to
play to go to the national title. When the powerhouse Tennessee, Georgia,
Ohio State, Oregon are all in top half of the bracket, yeah,
it makes look I'm for the twelve team, but the
way this bracket shapes up is a legitimate problem.
Speaker 3 (06:27):
This is why I said from the very beginning, automatic
buys are stupid. Automatic bids in and of themselves are stupid.
I do not think that because you won your conference
you should get into the college football Playoff. Not every
conference is built the same, not every conference is governed
the same. There are no rules in college football that
(06:48):
make anything fair, so there shouldn't be in the college
football playoff that make anything fair. They should put the
twelve best teams in the playoff, no matter what I
don't care about conference. I don't care about money, I
don't care about nil. Who are the twelve best teams? That,
at the core is what the College Football Playoff Committee
is all about. And especially if you are going to
(07:10):
do automatic bids, that's fine. Do not give automatic buys.
Do it like you did the last several years, and
the committee picks which four are the best four and
those four teams, based on their resume, have earned a buy,
not by winning a bad conference. Essentially, you cannot tell
me that the SEC and the Big Twelve are the same.
(07:32):
You can't tell me that the SEC and the Big
Ten are the same. They're not. Like, there has to
be something that rewards the best teams and not just
the conference champions. Yea, and I think the easiest way
to do this would be to reset it after the
first round. Oregon would then get the most favorable matchup
(07:53):
because they earned the number one seed if they win
the Big Ten championship and so on or however the
committee season.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
Let me bounce one thing on the Big Twelve, flirting
with disaster a little bit. The rules of the twelve
team guarantee playoff bids for the five highest ranked conference
champions period. That does not mean it's a guarantee for
the Power four conference champions. So in theory, all five
conference champions could be from the Group of five. The
reality this year, Austin is the Big Twelve. The champion
(08:21):
should and probably will be in, but it would be
stunning if they were left out. But the league's not
doing itself any favors. Arizona State is number sixteen overall
in the rankings, just a step above number seventeen twu Lane.
So if the Big twelve champion has three losses and
a two loss Tulane runs the table and finishes as
a two loss AAC champion, Yeah, they're in. That could
(08:42):
get interesting for the Big Twelve, who's not done themselves
many favors. It seems like madness all around. Speaking of
the Big Twelve, Dion did say that this is not
the last game Shador and Travis Hunter are playing, making
it seem like regardless of where they're out there going
to play in the Bowl game, which okay, I like
to see players playing bowl games more than what they're doing. Right.
Speaker 3 (09:02):
Again, paid a lot of money to play for that game.
So but by the way, did you see the video
I know, we only have like a minute here, Dave
Portnoy about how involved in the Bryce Underwood flip to Michigan.
Speaker 2 (09:15):
Yep, you got the second richest man in the world. Now.
Speaker 3 (09:18):
Now that is so. That stuff has been happening for
a long time. But to see it open and just
like out in the open like that, it makes me
feel icky.
Speaker 2 (09:28):
They had one call to see how much money they
could essentially guarantee, uh huh. Then they got in a
call with Underwood, right the donors, and Tom Brady jumped on.
Speaker 3 (09:37):
Yeah. Next thing, you know, he's got a barstool collab
coming up on and he's getting twelve million dollars from
three of the richest people in the country.
Speaker 2 (09:45):
Unbelievable.
Speaker 3 (09:46):
And I saw a tweet this morning, like you know
how we talked about the live golf and the impact
of Saudi Arabia and that type of money sports. Yeah,
wait till, wait till there's a Saudi Arabia person that
comes from a ton of money that loves sports in
the United States, loves college sports, and.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
He's a huge Temple thing.
Speaker 3 (10:05):
He could be Temple, he could be Cincinnati, he could
be anybody. Okay, And it's like Okay, well, how does
that start to change the game. It is a slippery slope.
Speaker 2 (10:14):
We try to change the game every day here on six.
Speaker 3 (10:16):
What a tangled web we weave.
Speaker 2 (10:18):
And while we only have one more segment with you today,
we'll go out in a big way as Austin went
a big way last time, and covering the gap and
now extending his lead in our pick him segment.
Speaker 3 (10:27):
Yeah, well we didn't have a pick him last week.
You got Scared.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
Monster week two weeks ago. Austin is well ahead right now.
We'll make some picks when we get back to finish
up today's edition of Sincey three to sixty, because then
KU basketball is coming up.
Speaker 3 (10:39):
Nor's up.
Speaker 2 (10:40):
It's on ESPN fifteen thirty.
Speaker 3 (10:41):
Cincinnatt Stage waste of Jim Kelch and Rick Browy on
ESPN fifteen thirty.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
All right, here we go, Welcome back Cincy three to
sixty thanks to Skyline Chili. Oh yeah, we got about
twelve minutes to get through twenty games.
Speaker 3 (10:56):
We can do that, all right, We've done better.
Speaker 2 (10:58):
All right, let's start in the High School Slate State
Championship Semifinals. Molar after beating Sanax takes on Centerville No.
Surprise here men of Molar, right through those doors. Gimme Moler.
Speaker 3 (11:11):
Some people are wondering if this will be a Herb
Street revenge game.
Speaker 2 (11:14):
Oh good one.
Speaker 3 (11:15):
You know he is a Centerville elk. That's right, and
Moler just beat his son last week. I'll take Moler.
Speaker 2 (11:22):
Okay. How about Anderson versus Sunbury Big Walnut, right, might
be my favorite school we've ever done here.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
Listen. I don't like to pick against local teams. But
if there's if that's a real place, Sunbury Big Walnut, yep,
I can't not pick them.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
Okay, I'm gonna take Anderson.
Speaker 3 (11:40):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
They came up short last year in this game. They
won't do it this time. By the way, Sunbury Big Walnut,
I just want to say as many time as possible. Sure,
they just beat Masalon last week.
Speaker 3 (11:49):
Masilin, Masilin not how about Masolin's my favorite school in
Ohio not named Sydney.
Speaker 2 (11:54):
How about Taft against Indian Valley, you got.
Speaker 3 (11:59):
I feel like there's four thousand Indian Valleys in the
state of Ohio. I'm gonna take Taft.
Speaker 2 (12:04):
Okay, in this one, I'm taking Indian Valley because I
feel like I don't know which one it is, but
whatever one is playing, I think they beat Taft Beechwood
in Northern Kentucky against Lexington Christian It is wash Rent's
repeat for me and these men from Beechwood. I don't
know how they do it. Jordan Franks remember him, Felipe
Franks's brother, Jordan fran Franks played a little bit with
(12:25):
the Bengals. He's on the staff at Beachwood. Oh really, Yeah,
he's doing good thing. He's good things. Yeah, number eighty packers.
For a second, he's coaching at Beechwood. I think I
think he's got these guys ready. I like Beechwood.
Speaker 3 (12:38):
I'll take Beachwood as well.
Speaker 2 (12:39):
How about this last week, covecath with one of the
biggest upsets as I read it, in the last decade
in high school sports. Yeah, Boyle County was that good.
Cove caf took care of Boyle, shocked the world. Can
they go to Franklin County and shock the world again?
Speaker 3 (12:56):
Yeah, Franklin County is a lot better than Boyle. I'll
take Franklin.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
Yeah, I got go Franklin as well. They had their
moment last week and uh lux run out that ends
till the cuffcaff. I'm sorry, done end tonight. It's Friday,
so enjoy the next couple of days. Cuffcaf all right,
college hoops again. Mention this just a few minutes ago, Austin.
This is an seventh and eighth place game in the
Maui Invitational, Yukon versus Dayton. I viewed Dayton completely different
(13:22):
than I did a week ago on the UC Bearcat schedule,
because they took North Carolina the wire and last night
took Iowa State to the wire. Fell apart just a
little bit late. They're gonna get twelve and a half
today against Yukon. What do you got?
Speaker 3 (13:35):
I think Dayton's got some good momentum. I think Yukon
is unhappy and Dan Hurley is probably trying to kill
those kids the way he's making him work after a
couple of losses. You know, Hawaii the Island time getting
to him.
Speaker 2 (13:48):
I'll take Dayton, okay, I'll I'll go opposite with the Huskers,
just because I think they are going to respond in
a big way, and I think Dayton's got to be
worn down a little bit from the last two nights.
Speaking of a team that's making a nice little run
at the Malley Invitational. How about Memphis winners over Yukon
winners over Michigan State, Austin de Memphis Tiger Penny Penny Hardaway. Yeah,
(14:13):
got these guys playing well. This is the championship game
of the Malley Invitational. They got to do against the
number four ranked team in the country, Auburn, who's playing
at a high level. Auburn's going to be favored by
eight and a half in this one. I am going
to take Bruce Pearl's bunch. Give me Auburn.
Speaker 3 (14:26):
You know, I got a text late last night that
said Bruce Pearl with a beard is a doppelganger for
Chad Brindle, and Chad Brindle's been acting ridiculous on Twitter.
So I'll take Memphis.
Speaker 2 (14:40):
How about the team up North versus Xavier tonight?
Speaker 3 (14:43):
Thank you man, thank you for the respect.
Speaker 2 (14:44):
Xavier getting a point and a half. That's so disrespectful.
We keep it right down the middle with all local
teams on this show. NKU, Dayton, Cincinnati, Louisville, Xavier. Give
me the Xavier Musketeers tonight against Michigan.
Speaker 3 (15:00):
And I know one thing for sir, Xavier doesn't have
football and a lot of Xavier basketball fans or Ohio
State football fans. You be damned if I'm picking anybody
but Xavier in this game. I got Xavier up to
eleven and a half to cover man.
Speaker 2 (15:11):
What about thirty and a half? You see?
Speaker 3 (15:14):
Seems too much. It's way too much. That seems too much.
And I think I think they could win by twenty nine. Yes,
thirty seems like a lot that thirty. I was shocked.
I'm gonna take Alabama State plus thirty and a half. Okay, yeah,
me too. We're on the same page the day before Thanksgiving. Yeah,
maybe it's a good team. Maybe a sleepy home game.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
If they're being good teams by thirty.
Speaker 3 (15:34):
One, students aren't on campus look out. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
Okay. College football proved me wrong. College football South Carolina
boom boom at clembson boom. South Carolina is a bad
call away against LSU from probably being in the twelve.
That's a good football team of South Carolina. They go
to Death Valley. They're at Clemson. Clemson's favored by two
and a half. What do you think?
Speaker 3 (15:56):
Yeah, I don't feel like Clemson's good.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
I don't either.
Speaker 3 (16:00):
Keep saying that, and yet they keep kind of hanging
around two and a half at home, though. I feel
like that's a good enough number for them to cover.
So I will take Clemson to cover, but I don't
really believe it.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
I'm gonna take because you don't really believe it. South Carolina, Okay,
just because of how good they've played. I mean, they
have went toe to toe with everyone on their schedule.
I like South Carolina in this one. There's a lot
of people wanting anarchy, wanting madness with the college football
playoff that would ensue if all of a sudden, Texas
also becomes a two loss set team. They go to
(16:32):
Texas A and M A and M a terrible loss
against Auburn last week, Texas has to lay five. I'm
comfortable with Texas lane five in this game. I'll take
the long Horns.
Speaker 3 (16:41):
You know, I originally did take Texas, but I'm changing
my mind.
Speaker 2 (16:45):
Okay, well because of Mike Elcho, I.
Speaker 3 (16:48):
Am changing my I don't like Mike Elko. He wears
those hoodies that don't fit him.
Speaker 2 (16:52):
Yep.
Speaker 3 (16:53):
Kyle Field though, Okay, plus five. I'll take the Aggies
to keep it close. Now, this do and remembrance of
Johnny football.
Speaker 2 (17:03):
I think this game is going to be phenomenal. It's
for Iowa State a chance to enter themselves into the
Big Ten Big Twelve title game. Kansas State cannot get there.
But what I learned last week Austin and Manhattan is
that there is a legit hate between Kansas State and
Iowa State. I didn't know it was this big of
a hatred between these two. I think Kansas State, with
(17:25):
Avery Johnson at quarterback, is the better team, even though
it's at Iowa State. I watched these two teams the
last two weeks. I think Kansas State's better. I'll take
them interesting against Iowa State.
Speaker 3 (17:35):
I'll take Iowa State. You know, the one of the
nastiest rivals, rivalries nobody talks about is Kansas and Missouri. Yeah,
have you ever heard of like the song that the
people at Missouri, the poem that people at It's like
God a hate kuh and then it goes into just terrible,
terrible things about Kansas and the University of Kansas. So
(17:55):
we're sleeping on rivalries in that part of the country. Apparently,
I'll take Iowa State cycle a half at you know,
my buddy went to the UC Iowa State game. He said,
cute little stadium. I'll take Iowa State.
Speaker 2 (18:08):
I'll let you introduce and make the first pick of
this next game.
Speaker 3 (18:11):
This is what football is all about.
Speaker 2 (18:14):
This whoa, whoa wha we're doing We're not doing TCU
since Notati yet, We're going to do that.
Speaker 3 (18:19):
This h State game first, is what rivalries are, okay
of It does not matter the records, it does not
matter the history. What matters is what happens at noon
at the Horseshoe in Columbus, Ohio. One of the oldest
rivalries in sports. And finally, just finally, it seems like
Ryan Day is starting to take this thing seriously. He's
(18:41):
starting to turn into a freak, a mastermind. He's been
bullied into taking this seriously, and it feels like we're
seeing a transformation now. When I saw this number, the
Ohio State Buckeyes favored by twenty one at home against
the Wolverines, my eyes bulled from my forehead. I could
(19:02):
not believe it. Twenty one point favorites. I'll take Ohio State.
Speaker 2 (19:07):
Yeah for me, this is easy Ohio State. You know
why because it's the last time in a long time
that we'll say that. Because of Larry Ellison and his
net worth of two hundred and thirty two point six
billion dollars. He is now on board at Michigan. And
this lady named Joelyn joe wife, Yeah, his wife.
Speaker 3 (19:30):
And Dave Fortnoy and Tom Brady.
Speaker 2 (19:32):
Yeah, she graduated from Michigan. He graduated from Illinois. Illinois's
got to be like, wait a second, how do we
get lost here? Yeah, two hundred and thirty two point
six billion dollars, They will have unlimited funds. All she
wants is to see Michigan win multiple national titles. It's
not happening this year. They know it. Ohio State knows it.
And I don't know how many days it's been since
(19:54):
Ohio State won this game, but there's a lot of
Ohio State out there that remembers these last couple of
years have been. I think this is an absolute bloodbath.
I think Ohio State maybe gives up a field goal
in this game. It's gonna be ugly. Buck Guy's cover
love it. TCU at Cincinnati, Thank you for the respect man,
(20:14):
tc you at Cincinnati. Don't you ever ever make the
Bearcats a home dog at night? Nip at night? And
they're getting three with ball eligibillity on the line. Watch
Scott Saderfield rally these troops on Saturday night. Watch the
Bearcats take care of business. Give me the Bearcats and
Corey Kiner to run for about two hundred on Saturday.
Speaker 3 (20:33):
Night TCU comfortably.
Speaker 2 (20:35):
You're sick. You're sick. That's a Texas team. They're gonna
be playing. It's gonna be twenty eight degrees in the
third quarter, and Kiner's just gonna be getting started. Bearcats cover.
Let's go to the NFL. We got three minutes here, Yeah,
Dolphins at Packers. Packers only got to lay three and
a half. This game's at Lambeau. I don't know exactly
(20:55):
the temperature. I know it's gonna be cold. Give me
the Packers.
Speaker 3 (20:57):
It's gonna be around twenty. I think this will be ugly.
Green Bay blows them out.
Speaker 2 (21:00):
Love it. Colts at Patriots, Now, this is one of
those lines. I looked at Austin and said, hu huh, Yeah,
Colts at Patriots. It's not even a field goal spread.
It's two and a half. What do you think?
Speaker 3 (21:11):
Yeah, don't forget a couple of years ago when Josh
McDaniels bailed on the Indianapolis Colts, and Chris Ballard said,
the rivalry is back off. Yes, this is a rivalry
and they're in New England. I'll take the Patriots to
cover two and a half.
Speaker 2 (21:23):
I'll take the Colts because if they don't win, I'll
be happy because that helps the Bengals. Brown's at Broncos.
You made a scenario this week Austin where all the
AFC North teams got in the playoffs.
Speaker 3 (21:33):
Possible.
Speaker 2 (21:33):
I would imagine that scenario only stays active if the
Browns take care of business in Debret Denvers looks so good.
They look like world beaters lately. There's no way they
slip up against Jamis Winston.
Speaker 3 (21:44):
Right, I don't think so. I think the Broncos cover
five and a half.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
I do too, Okay, I hate that I do, but
I do. I'm very intrigued in this game. Eagles Ravens,
what do you like in this one? And why? Because
both these teams are playing exceptionally well. On Smith didn't
play in the last game. He's gonna need to play
if they want to slow down Saquon Barkley at all.
Speaker 3 (22:04):
As far as I'm concerned, one of these teams is
about one tier above the other. Like the Eagles are
just a better football team, Okay, especially when it comes
to their defense. I like Philly in this.
Speaker 2 (22:16):
I'm gonna take Baltimore in this because it's in Baltimore,
and because Philly has been so good. I don't think
they can sustain that throughout the remainder of the season.
I mean, Philly has won now what seven games in
a row since that loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
After the Ravens are gonna play the Panthers, They're gonna
play the Steelers. They'll get right back on track. But
(22:38):
for Sunday, give me the Baltimore Ravens in this one.
They are calling for what could be incredible amounts of
snow and wind in Buffalo for the forty nine Ers
and Bills. You want to know how far the forty
nine ers have fallen. They're getting a touchdown, a full
touchdown in Buffalo. Does that make a difference.
Speaker 3 (22:55):
Sunday night football in Orchard Park, New York. The Niners
are way too good to be touchdown underdogs. I'll take
them to cover.
Speaker 2 (23:04):
