Speaker 1 (00:00):
You are listening to the Dan Patrick Show on Fox
Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
We'll talk about the college football playoffs. The bookmakers don't
think these are going to be competitive games this according
to DraftKings this morning, Indiana against Notre Dame. At Notre Dame,
Indiana's getting seven and a half, smu is getting nine
at Penn State, Clemson getting eleven at Texas, and then
Tennessee getting seven and a half against Ohio State. By
(00:27):
the way, odds to win the national title, we have
co favorites to win the national title. Oregon and Texas
are your co favorites this morning, followed by Georgia, Ohio State,
and then Penn State. If I would have said to
you in September, Hey, Arizona State's going to be in,
(00:50):
Clemson's going to be in, smu is going to be in,
Boise State's going to be in. Indiana's going to be in,
you'd go wait, basketball, no Footballson got roughed up early.
Remember that Georgia roughed them up and then we moved
on from Clemson. Well, all you have to do is
win your conference. I mean, I don't know if Clemson's
any good, but they won their conference. So they're in.
(01:14):
SMU survived and I say survived so they could get
in because they scored seventeen points in the fourth quarter.
If they do not score those seventeen, if they score seven,
I don't think they're in the playoffs, and I will
sit corrected. I didn't think the committee was going to
leave Alabama out, and I'm not alone in that, but
it was an interesting conversation they had to have with
(01:38):
Alabama didn't get in. Why didn't they get in? They
talk about strength to schedule. Well, when you get embarrassed,
you got embarrassed against Vandy, you got embarrassed against Oklahoma,
just win. That's what this is all about. Arizona State,
I think was picked for last in the Big twelve.
They're good team. They roughed up Iowa State, Boise State
(01:59):
gets a bar Indiana in at Notre Dame. But we're
going to be talking about this and I think we
had to go through this process for one year now.
I think they're going to tweak what you have to
do where the seedings are first round by this is
where you just say, okay, let's see how this plays out.
(02:20):
Let's see where some of the sensitive points are that
we can correct. And I still maintain if you're going
to do twelve teams, you win your conference, you get in.
But that doesn't mean that you get a first round
by Boise State shouldn't get a first round by Arizona State,
shouldn't get a first round by I think it should
(02:43):
be when your conference. Now we start to seed this,
that's what happens with the basketball tournament. You're not guaranteed
a number one seed because you win the ACC or
the SEC. And I think that's what they need to do.
Is Boise State, I'm glad they're in, Arizona State, I'm
glad they're in. But then after that, I think you
(03:04):
got to be fair to strength of schedule. And that's
where I think that if you go with rankings, then
I think you get a truer sense of how good
teams are, what they did during the course of a year,
and if you had two losses, maybe three, what was
your strength of schedule? This is what I worry about.
And you already have athletic directors talking about this, Well,
(03:26):
we're going to really look at you out of conference
scheduling because there is there's no reason to do something
out of conference and run the risk of losing. If
you lose more than two games, you're not getting in
or it's really going to be difficult. Clemson didn't play anybody.
Clemson won the ACC that's all you have to do.
(03:48):
Arizona State, just win your conference, Boise State when you're in.
But then after that, I think you need to have
receding or seating. I can't be giving these schools of
first round by I don't think that's fair to the
other conferences and the strength of schedule that they may have.
You know, it's gonna be tweaked, it's not perfect, and
(04:10):
maybe eventually we get to the what are we doing?
Why don't we just make this a pro model? And
there's gonna be a certain number of schools that are
going to play, and there'll be schools maybe get relegated,
whatever you want to do with it. We're heading that way.
It's almost like when we had one versus two and
then we said, how about two more teams? Is that
(04:30):
a lot? And then all of a sudden, you know,
we had co National champs a long long time ago.
I mean, Chap, can you imagine if we had co
National champs? Now? Hey, Georgia Tech and Colorado or co
National champs. Huh, but we had that. There's so much
more attached to this, so many more people, so much
(04:53):
more money attached to this. And that's why I think
they'll get around to tweaking this a little bit more,
and next year you'll probably have something along the lines
of what I've been talking about. I have somebody who
is close to the committee, and they have told me
that this, of course is a topic of conversation whether
it gets enacted next year, because I was told, hey,
(05:15):
fourteen maybe next year, but probably going to be the
following season where you'll have fourteen schools instead of twelve.
Let's see how this plays out. It looks fun, it
sounds fun. Would I have liked Alabama in South Bend? Yes,
I would have. That would have been great. Tennessee. I
(05:36):
love that against Ohio State. I mean there's matchups where
you go all right, like Clemson's in, you know, and
you get Texas, but there's going it almost feels like
Oregon would have been better off losing the Big Ten
title game. Get I didn't think that they treated Oregon
fairly there. And Penn State they look pretty good. They
(05:56):
look pretty good. That's the first time where I go, okay, competitive,
neutral field, and maybe they will be a tough out,
but I think the first round by bothers people probably
more than anything else involved in this because you're looking
at Boise State in Arizona State and you're going, really yeah,
but that's the system this year, all right? Eight seven
(06:19):
seven three DP show email address Dpadanpatrick dot com, Twitter
handle a DP show. Good morning. If you're watching on Peacock,
thank you for downloading the app and our radio affiliates
around the country as well. Poll question Seaton, what are
you thinking about today? Uh?
Speaker 3 (06:34):
Well, we'll probably start with who had the best weekend?
Who had the worst weekend? It's one of our favorites
on Monday. Okay, you're gonna start positive. Yeah, okay, okay,
how about Pooka Nakua. Yeah he had a great weekend.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
Yeah he did. He just he's different, Like they're receivers
that are fast, they are ones that are quick. He
just is tough to bring down.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
That catch you out on the sideline was unbelievable.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
Yeah, it's almost when you watch and you're going and
you know, Cooper Cup has been unbelievable. But Phuka Nakua
that's the guy. He's the guy, and you watch him
and you go, he's not fast, he's just physical, and
all of a sudden, you know, you're pulling in twelve
catches all of a sudden, you know. I mean, Buffalo
(07:22):
was back and forth with this, and they realized, hey,
do we have any defense here? Because that's what the
Rams have offense. They have a whole lot of offense.
But I loved what I saw with Josh Allen. I mean,
when you throw for three and you run for three
that's never been done before and no sacks. Here is
(07:43):
Sean McVay, the Rams coach, talking about the greatness of
Josh Allen.
Speaker 4 (07:47):
That's an excellent team. I mean, do you see Josh
Allen is an alien. Some of the stuff that he
can do and the things that he can create. We
knew he was capable of that.
Speaker 5 (07:55):
He's shown that.
Speaker 4 (07:56):
It's why he is, you know, as well respected and
regarded in this league as he is. It's all deserved
and earned. But our guys found a way to just
make enough plays to be able to come out on top.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
Yeah they did. It was fun. That was back and forth.
Really enjoyed that. All right, So you have Pooka Nakua,
who else you.
Speaker 5 (08:15):
And you know what else too? With Pooka.
Speaker 3 (08:16):
He he's been hurt a lot this year, but he's
clearly a real deal or like a real dealer, you know,
in that they don't the whole Well, you get a
little bit of tape on this guy, you figure out
how to nobody's figured that out.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
Yet, it's true, you know. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (08:34):
How about you know who had a pretty good weekend,
believe it or not. What about Aaron Rodgers?
Speaker 2 (08:40):
Okay, I'm listening.
Speaker 3 (08:44):
He actually he did a couple of things that you
were like, hey, there we go.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
You mean the things he's supposed to do. Well, Yes,
he threw for three hundred yards okay, and they lost.
They did, They did lose, but it's a close game.
This is why you have Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 3 (09:05):
You can't blame this one on him. That feels like
a win. You can't blame this one on Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
Is he is he blaming everybody else? It's like, you
can't you can't blame me? Yeah? Uh, you know who
had a good weekend and he lost and he lost
the previous week and he lost the previous week. Bryce Young,
Oh yeah, right, Seaton was saying, Carolina, you gotta feel
(09:36):
pretty good about that. Bryce Young looks comfortable. They almost
knock off the Chiefs, They almost knocked off the Eagles,
and it felt like they had a chance. And that's
a win in my book, especially where they've been.
Speaker 3 (09:51):
Dave can Alis, you're the head coach there, You're like, hey,
it started out abysmal. It started out worse than we
could have possibly imagined. But it's turned around. Your competitive
You have a good weekend, a competitive weekend against a
clear Super Bowl contender.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
Yeah, that works. Yeah. And then and then you did
it against the Chiefs where you had a chance.
Speaker 6 (10:10):
Yeah, yes, Pauline, I'll throw in Rock Purty twenty of
twenty five, three twenty five, two touchdowns, almost a perfect
quarterback rating. They smoked the Bears. He's looking at a
contract in this offseason.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
I know they're I thought, maybe you do that Baker
Mayfield kind of contract.
Speaker 5 (10:26):
Yea.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
And the insiders he and Rapoport was saying, no, no,
full boat that they're looking at a full boat, full
boat for Rock Purdy. How about Sam Donald? Sam Donald
five touchdown passes. All he does is when I like
how the Vikings everybody's going Vikings are geniuses. They got
(10:48):
Sam Darnald, Well, are they really brilliant?
Speaker 7 (10:51):
Hey?
Speaker 2 (10:52):
They you're not getting credit for Sam Donald, you're not.
You drafted JJ McCarthy. Kirk d Cousins got rid of him,
and Sam Donald was going to be a backup. Now
he's played well, But I don't know if I can
go man that organization. They're two steps ahead of everybody else.
(11:14):
I don't think you were planning on this. But Sam
Darnald he's been great at times, he's been great, and
Kirk d Cousins.
Speaker 5 (11:23):
Has not.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
He is not. And you know I do like Kirk
d Cousins, but this isn't personal when I say they
should bench him. I would like to see Michael Pennix Junior,
the third get a chance go in there. He can't
be worse. It's it'd be almost impossible to be worse.
And I would put him in there and maybe you
(11:47):
see something and let's say he struggles. Okay, at least
he got a taste this year to get ready for
next year. Yes boy.
Speaker 6 (11:55):
A month ago, kirk Cousins had just finished winning five
of six games his last time. Two games were on
National TV to end October, they beat Tampa and beat Dallas.
He had four touchdowns and then three touchdowns the next week,
no picks. In the last four weeks, he's thrown eight
interceptions and no touchdowns. He undid it in a month.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
The Falcons are the first team in NFL history to
have a four game span where they didn't have a
passing touchdown. They threw over at least eight interceptions while
allowing at least eight passing touchdowns and getting zero interceptions.
Who stand of a day? Stantaa day? Start out of
(12:38):
a day? Stant outa day.
Speaker 4 (12:41):
This is the Stele of the Day.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
Brought ubon Panini America. By the way, congratulations to the Jets.
They're officially eliminated and they have broken a tie with
the Buffalo Sabers for the longest active playoff drought across
all four May sports leagues. I'm watching I'm going and
(13:12):
a friend of mine is a Dolphin fan. He goes,
we can't lose to the Jets. I said, you're not.
He goes, how can you say that? I said, you're
not going to lose to the Jets. I've seen this movie.
I know how this plays out.

Speaker 2 (13:38):
The Mets have shelled out seven hundred and sixty five
million dollars for Juan Soda. I don't know if it
takes talent, Like when somebody says, wow, okay, congratulate that.
I think their owner Steve Cohen said, look, I'm going
to pay more than anybody else. And that's music to
Scott Boris's hears. That's all we want. It's like, is
(14:00):
this the right place for my guy or the right
amount of money for my guy? And it's the right
amount of money for his guy. So Wan Soto is
going to the Mets seven hundred and sixty five million
dollars for fifteen years. Congratulations? I think seven hundred and
sixty five Yes, Marman.
Speaker 8 (14:21):
I was just ready to applaud him. Oh you were
his parents, his siblings.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
What's life going to be like in sports in the
year twenty forty? Wow, what's it going to be like?
So when this contract is up by Juan Soto, twenty
forty guys are going to get a billion. Who's getting
a billion dollars baseball players billion, I would think, because
(14:50):
you already got up to seven hundred now seven sixty five,
seven sixty five. Do I hear seven eighty seven eighty
seven eighty seven eighty Do I hear eight? One hundred
million dollars? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (14:59):
Seed crazy is that the person who's going to get
a billion dollars is probably like three or four years
old right now.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
Well, you're going to have one hundred million dollar a
year basketball player. That's going to happen. First, football players,
quarterbacks are probably going to get in the next five years.
Maybe you get to seventy five million, I'm guessing. But basketball,
the NBA, it just do the math, and I still
(15:27):
think Shay Gilgis, Alexander or Luca don Chick are going
to be the first one hundred million dollar a year
basketball players. Baseball we're getting close to, like not necessarily
how much you make per season, but it's how much
you make the totality of that contract. Eight seven seven
(15:47):
to three DP show email address dpat Danpatrick dot com,
Twitter handle a DP show. The Chiefs continue to do it.
I don't think they're a great team, but they're great
at winning. They know to do when to do it,
and there's a certain calm that you have. There's certain athletes,
certain teams, certain coaches that they prepare for this. They're good.
(16:13):
They're just good at being able to kind of like
block everything out. And look at the last play with
Mahomes and Kelsey. They've been doing this a long time.
Nothing fancy about it. It's just Mahomes has this ability
to make a subtle move when he feels pressure, subtle move,
(16:33):
get out of the way, He finds Kelsey and then
you kick a field goal. Here's Andy Reid after the game.
Speaker 9 (16:42):
I have trust in Matthew, so I was good with
where we were. Percentages are pretty high. I know we've
won a game in that same situation on the opposite end,
so I get it. But he's he's a solid kicker,
so I wasn't too worried about it.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
Yeah, you just you have my Homes. You just start there.
Nobody has whom Josh Allen was wonderful against the Rams, incredible,
But this Kansas City defense is good and they keep
you in the game and then when it comes down
to the final two minutes, as we saw with Brady,
(17:21):
as you saw at times with Montana, it was like, oh,
you're in trouble. And that's the feeling. I can't imagine
what that that's like for the defense when they're going, God,
you want your offense, just score touchdown, just score, make
it tough. Now they have a chance. And then you
go out there and you know he's just looking for
(17:42):
one little moment. Then he got it and they won again.
And it's not by accident. I mean they've done this,
they continue to do this, and the game has turned
into they're all one score games. It feels like ninety
nine games have been decided by six points or less.
That's the most through Week fourteen in NFL history. Yeah,
(18:04):
they continue to set that record every single week. These
games come down to one score. And that's why one moment,
one mistake, and then you're done, and the great teams
take advantage. They seize that moment, They embrace that moment,
They love that moment.
Speaker 8 (18:22):
Yes, Mark, if you're a Chargers fan, did you feel
good about that yesterday? Like now going if we make
the playoffs, we can really make some noise when we
get in there.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
I thought they were going to win the game. Prior
to the start, I thought they're going to win this game,
and you have your moment there. But the Charger's got
to get to that point where they can win these
games where Justin Herbert says, I got it, Jim Harball says, hey,
we got this. They had their opportunity and there's still
(18:54):
a dangerous team. It's kind of interesting, though, how Justin
Herbert's being used. Look at some of these quarterbacks. The
Bills don't want Josh Allen throwing the ball thirty five times.
They's so much better when he does it. Jalen Hurts
with the Eagles, he didn't really do much damage. Justin Herbert,
(19:17):
he doesn't you know he's going to. He threw a
lot more than I thought he was going to. But
you kind of want to get that balance. We're seeing
these offenses want to be a little more balanced now.
I don't know if they're going to be like that
in the playoffs, but they do look for balance.
Speaker 5 (19:32):
Here.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
The Ravens run the ball. You know all these teams,
the Eagles are probably a run first team. Now, Buffalo
runs the ball really well, Like this is what teams
want to get. Give me balance here a little bit
or maybe it's sixty forty because it wasn't that long
ago when it was probably eighty twenty passing to running
(19:54):
and your running back was a guy who caught passes.
Speaker 6 (19:56):
Yes, Paulin two years ago, Justin Herbert had six hundred
ninety nine passing attempts. This year, he's on pace for
five hundred and thirty the same number of games.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
Yeah, they want that because that means that you can
control the clock, you are probably ahead in the game.
And I think that's really the important part of all
of this. You're getting towards the postseason. Now, can you
do what you've done in the postseason? And with Kansas City,
as much as they're not a great team, but having
(20:25):
that ability to win who else game on the line?
What other team do you go they can be as
good as Kansas City? And the answer is nobody, truly nobody.
Can I trust Jalen Hurts in that moment, He's going
to make that big play. Josh Allen is going to
make that big play. Justin Herbert, Jordan Love, Jared Goff.
(20:50):
There's one Mahomes that's it because he has shown that
he can do that. These other players, you know, Jared
Goff has gotten to a Super Bowl, an NFC titled game.
Jordan love Is played well last year in the postseason.
Josh Allen, We've seen him play well up until he
doesn't play well. You know, Joe Burrow's not going to
be in the playoffs. Tua, by the way, is playing
(21:13):
really well. I watch a lot of that game with
the Jets, and he looks really it's gonna sound like
it's not a compliment. He looks efficient, like there's just
an efficiency there and spreading the wealth around. Russell Wilson
Junior the third played well. Although I'm watching and and uh,
(21:35):
Jamis throws a touchdown pass and I'm like okay. And
Nate Burrelson comes on to give the update from CBS.
He's like, you know something about Jamis is must see TV,
just like Jerry Springer. And speaking of Jerry, Jerry Judy
with a touchdown, I go, okay. I think now let
(21:58):
me see the next time he gets the ball, because
I can pretty much guarantee James Winston's going to throw
an interception and bingo, bango, bongo, there you go. He
had two interceptions and two touchdown passes.
Speaker 5 (22:11):
One for me one.
Speaker 2 (22:15):
He's a share, he's a care yes he is.
Speaker 8 (22:17):
Yes, Marvin, so he still hasn't been delivered from those
pick sixties.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
No he is not, No, he is not.
Speaker 6 (22:23):
He has fall going back to Mahomes and winning the MVP.
It's if he ever wins it again, it probably won't
be Stats two years ago he had forty one touchdowns.
Last year in sixteen games, twenty seven touchdowns, fourteen picks
for him, that's below average. This year he's on pace
for twenty seven touchdowns and fourteen picks.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
Yeah, yeah, I think those days are gone of you know,
these guys throwing forty touchdown passes. And I go back,
you know, year two he threw fifty touchdown passes. Second
year in the league, first year starting, fifty touchdown passes.
I mean that's like Dan Marino his second year. They
(23:03):
went to the Super Bowl. All right, How about some
phone calls? Best and worst of the weekend Vince in Austin, Vince, welcome.
Speaker 10 (23:11):
Back, Good morning, guys, Happy Monday. This one two thirty
at Fluffy two thirty, ah, worst of the weekend at
Texas Long Ones. Not only did we come up short
Saturday at the SEC Championship game, we turn around and
got to work here you go. Marvin got worked by
(23:33):
the two time defending champion Yukon hostans. Oh my gosh,
never underestimate the heart of a champion.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
Vince, Vince, you have to do a pie to the face.
Speaker 10 (23:44):
Yeah, did we bett?
Speaker 1 (23:46):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (23:47):
No, Vince, Oh wow.
Speaker 10 (23:52):
Humble pie right now?
Speaker 2 (23:53):
You called out Marvin.
Speaker 8 (23:56):
Now, not a humble pie.
Speaker 2 (23:58):
Cherry pie. Well, Vince, Vince.
Speaker 10 (24:02):
I watched that because across the street neighbor is hingle.
Mom said dancer Dicabaret her stage name with cherry pie.
So we don't watch how guys, all.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
Right, you know a lot about his neighbor. Yeah, cherry pie,
all right? Maybe a blueberry pie, fretzy, don't google cherry
pie in Austin.
Speaker 8 (24:23):
I did that once before I had to bring my
computer into the show.
Speaker 2 (24:26):
Yeah, yeah, don't do that, Vince. I think you should
do a blueberry pie.
Speaker 10 (24:30):
I'm allergic. Googbery's got you there. My favorite is key
lime or lemon meringue.
Speaker 2 (24:36):
You can do that too, but the lemon will burn
a little bit there, just saying, but you you, oh Marvin,
that you called him out, and I'm glad you called
in to deliver.
Speaker 3 (24:47):
Yes, s Yeah, you want to be careful with the
citrus pies. Yeah, don't leave them on too long they burn.
Speaker 2 (24:51):
Yes, yes, and maybe you can get Cherry Pie to
come over and smash you with a pie.
Speaker 10 (24:55):
Vince, this is a fan the show guys, come on.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
Thank you, Ben Cherry Pie. H Randy and Idaho, Hi, Randy.
What's on your mind today?
Speaker 7 (25:13):
That's and worse for the weekend? That ram Bill game
very exciting. Worse the officiating in the ram Bill game.
They lost. They lost eleven seconds. There was an offensive
PI in the first half that was atrocious and if
anyone can explain to me how that wasn't. Holding by
Cooper Cup on the Rams final touchdown is beyond me.
(25:34):
I'm a high school football official and holding a lot
of times is positioning. Cooper Cup gets lazy and he
wraps his arms both arms around the defender out in
front of the officials at the point of attack. That's holding.
Bad officiating in that.
Speaker 2 (25:51):
Game, Randy, what's it like to deal with high school parents?
Speaker 7 (25:59):
It almost makes you I want to officiate. The lower
you go, the worse. It is like junior high parents
standing on the sidelines screaming and they have no idea
what they're talking about and that's why we have a
shortage officials nationwide.
Speaker 2 (26:14):
What's the worst it ever got?
Speaker 7 (26:18):
We got escorted out of a Rivalry games parking lot
by police. And I think it was like a thirty
two point game, so I guess we had a big
outcome or a big impact on the outcome. The team
lost by thirty two points, but parents wanted to kill us.
Speaker 2 (26:39):
Well, why did you want to be an official to
begin with?
Speaker 7 (26:47):
It's kind of a bug. I did baseball for about
thirty five years and I got into football about twenty
five years ago. And if you do it, it's it's addictive.
The blast that you work with some good guys, The
atmosphere is fun, and you kind of have to go
back to, Hey, maybe we're helping use sports a little
(27:10):
bit by doing this.
Speaker 2 (27:11):
Well you are, and thanks for doing it, and thanks
for calling in, Randy. It's tough. I remember doing little
league baseball and then I did Legion ball and I
was an umpire and you would have parents stand right
right on the fence. They'd be yelling right behind you.
(27:32):
The batting cage, batting area, they'd be right there and
they would be pressed up against that. They'd be yelling
at you, and they would be sitting that's a ball
How can you call that? You know? Like it was
I had to run somebody one time and I said,
you're out of here. He said, says who, And I
(27:53):
said me And he goes, what are you going to
do about it? I said, I'm going to forfeit the
go ahead. So I said, all right, I'm gonna and
the guy goes, all right, all right, I'll leave. All right,
I'll leave. So he goes down first baseline and he's
just outside of the fence and I can still hear
(28:16):
him because he didn't he even said, you're kicking me
out of the ballpark, right? I said yes, And so
he just went to the outskirts and was still yelling.
And I'm thinking, I'm getting paid, like I don't know,
four dollars an hour. You know, it's just not worth it.
It's not. And having a father who used to yell
(28:40):
at officials during my basketball games, I understand it. It's tough,
thankless job. And the fact that you have to be
escorted by police out of a parking lot. They should
not let parents go. They should say we're going to
make the game available for you to watch it. The
(29:00):
kids are usually fine. It's the parents. Yeah, PAULI.
Speaker 6 (29:04):
I went to youth game a couple months ago and
this PA announcer is welcome to blank blank whatever. Please
be courteous to officials. Blah blah blah, do not heckle
the players. And if you did play professional basketball, then
you can tell the refs what they're doing.
Speaker 2 (29:16):
Please stand up.
Speaker 6 (29:16):
If you played in the NBA, nobody stands up and
everyone left. It's pretty snarky.

Check out David Pollock College Football on YouTube. Also David's
new children's book, The Won't Quit Kid, now available online
at Bravebooks dot com. Former All American at Georgia, formerly
of ESPN's College Game Day, kind enough to join us again, David,
Good to see you. When the final rankings came out,
(29:52):
the playoff matchups came out, you thought, what, uh.
Speaker 11 (29:57):
Is Oregon the number one seed or Georgia. That's the
first thing when you saw the finalized bracket was man,
Oregon's got a tough row a hoe for a team
that was undefeated, that looked like the best team all
year long, and you look at their side, and if
I'm starting to look at teams that I think have
the talent to get hot and to win this thing,
Ohio State, Tennessee, Texas all on their side. And so
(30:22):
if I'm Oregon, I probably was a little bit frustrated
from that. And then obviously the SMU Bama debate being settled,
going to SMU.
Speaker 2 (30:29):
Okay, what did you think about that decision?
Speaker 11 (30:32):
Well, here's the thing, man, I get a little bit frustrated.
And I know Bama fans are great fans, and they
should be great fans.
Speaker 5 (30:39):
They've had a lot to cheer about.
Speaker 11 (30:40):
And I do understand how you point to the wins
and you say we have better wins than SMU, But
we also have to point to the losses. And we
got to realize that you got two losses to six
and six teams, and you got beat by twenty one
to a six and six team. And so while I
do understand that they played better COMPETI got more wins.
(31:01):
Also to understand that they got dominated by a poor
team late in the season. They were very up and
down throughout the season without a lack of consistency, and
SMU was really consistent and then lost in a championship game.
And the committee also showed us two the way they
ranked people, like they did not hurt anybody for playing
in a championship game. They have in years past. This
(31:22):
year you could tell Texas didn't get hurt. They still
got a huge ranking. They still got the.
Speaker 5 (31:27):
Three seed overall, so Penn State. Same thing.
Speaker 11 (31:30):
They didn't drop people off the face of the earth
because of a conference championship loss.
Speaker 2 (31:34):
What would you tweak going into next season?
Speaker 11 (31:38):
Dan, It makes my head hurt when I see the
rankings and then the seatings being different, Like I just
needed to all be one.
Speaker 5 (31:46):
I don't need all of this number of stuff. I'm
not that bright. I don't want to think that hard.
I think the.
Speaker 11 (31:53):
Best team should be on the they should be seated
one through twelve if we're going to stay at twelve
and seed in one through twelve and give them the
best matchup and the best path going forward. But the seedings,
with the rankings, you know, it's just frustrating. I think
everybody would get away with or do away with the
preseason stuff. Probably more and more because we have preconceived
(32:14):
notions going into the season that don't turn out to
be true with the ranked wins, sometimes that we're very fraudulent,
but also will.
Speaker 5 (32:22):
Change one other thing.
Speaker 11 (32:22):
Dan like, I need more interconference matchups, so I need
to get rid of some of these cupcakes, and I
need the ACC to play Every team in the ACC
needs to.
Speaker 5 (32:33):
Play one team in the SEC.
Speaker 11 (32:35):
Every team in the AEC needs to play one team
in the Big ten, Every team in the ACC needs
to play one team.
Speaker 5 (32:39):
In the Big twelve.
Speaker 11 (32:40):
So now when we're doing this crossover game and this
strength of schedule game and who would beat who game,
we have more information and more data points that go
into it that can help us make more informed decisions.
Speaker 2 (32:53):
I've been suggesting since this format started is if you
win your conference, you're in. I'm fine with that. It's
like the NCAA Tournament with March Madness. If you win
the SEC, that doesn't mean you're number one seed. You
just get in the tournament. You're gonna have a pretty
high seed. So Boise State winning its conference or Arizona
State winning their conferences, you're in. That doesn't mean you
(33:16):
get a first round by let's be fair to everybody.
Have Vegas give you their odds, and then once you're
in and then we seed you. We have one through twelve,
and then you have your matchup. So whoever is won.
If you have Oregon at one and you have Clemson
at twelve, that's your first round matchup, or they get
(33:36):
a buy for the first four you know seed, you know,
first four ranked teams. I'm okay with all of that.
I don't think it's that difficult to figure this out
moving forward.
Speaker 11 (33:47):
We're gonna make everything difficult, that's what That's what we're
gonna do. I mean, we even made the head to
head difficult, Like you know, when you're starting to diagnose
you know, Bama, South Carolina, Ole Miss, and you're starting
to do that game between those three we were talking
and like everybody's banging the drum for South Carolina. They
had a great season, Dan, an awesome season, but you
lost the Bowl teams like that's part of the criteria.
Speaker 5 (34:10):
The criteria very much stipulates its.
Speaker 11 (34:12):
Head to head and then common opponents, which when you
went with Bama and ole Miss, they had a lot
of common opponents and ole Miss quite honestly fared better
against them. But yeah, I think the committee maybe a
little more transparency there.
Speaker 5 (34:25):
I think you would take that too, Dan, wouldn't you?
Speaker 2 (34:26):
I would? But college football loves a mess, though, David. Yeah,
if this was clean and there's no debate, like they
want this to be debated, they're okay with being criticized.
We were not allowed to see what goes on in
those meetings.
Speaker 5 (34:41):
So but at least we're debating.
Speaker 11 (34:43):
At least we're debating twelve, the twelfth of thirteen, fourteenth
team versus four, five and six, and then FSU was
undefeated getting left out, So that makes you feel a
heck of a lot better. You're leaving out a team
that's going to bang their chest they got three losses, Like,
that's not We're not feeling sorry for anybody with three laws.
Speaker 2 (35:00):
He's David Pollack, the former All American linebacker Georgia used
to be with ESPN's College Game Day. You can see
David Pollack college Football on YouTube. How many teams can
win the national title?
Speaker 11 (35:13):
Man, that's a great question. I think I would go
with confidently. I would go with four. I think there's
four teams that could win it.
Speaker 5 (35:24):
Actually, i'd go with five.
Speaker 11 (35:25):
Because I and I know people are going to say
this to me, like Notre Dame's never done anything, and
they're going to push back. But I just I like
the dominance that I've seen from Notre Dame. I like
the attitude. I think they know exactly who they are,
which I think there's a lot of teams in here
that we don't really know who they are.
Speaker 5 (35:41):
So the one side, I'll go Georgia and Notre Dame.
Speaker 11 (35:45):
On the other side, again, this is why the brackets harder,
I'll go Oregon. I think Tennessee could win it. I
think Ohio State could win it. And I'm not there
on Texas just because of their offense, but I think
with their defense, with their defense being so elite, I
think it'll keep it in it. But offense has been
so I mean, it's so strange to have a start
team that's not great on offense.
Speaker 5 (36:04):
But I guess that's six four up top, two down low.
Speaker 2 (36:09):
Okay, should it be held against Georgia that Carson Beck
got injured and now now granted his backup is a
five star recruit, but we did this to Florida State.
I've already heard from Florida State fans, Are you going
to penalize Georgia now it's twelve teams, if it's four,
(36:29):
I don't know if Georgia's in Like, I don't know
how these things would have played out like that, But
did the committee penalize Georgia in any way that they
may not have their best quarterback going forward?
Speaker 11 (36:41):
I think that the difference between FSU and Georgia to
me is Georgia clearly looked better with their backup quarterback.
Speaker 5 (36:47):
FSU looked like a train wreck on offense.
Speaker 11 (36:50):
So that that's where I would say FSU's defense still
looked elite. They still won the ACC they were still great.
Georgia's defense still looked elite, But like I could, I
would argue I watching that game, the second half, Georgia's
offense went like this as opposed to off a cliff
with FSU.
Speaker 5 (37:06):
So I think that probably goes into it as well.
Speaker 2 (37:08):
And I know you played defense and watching these games
this weekend, like the NFL was violent, it's not as
violent as college football. It's just not. I mean, it
feels like they let you play a little bit more,
you get away. I know they have targeting, but damn
that Texas game. I mean, holy smokes, David.
Speaker 11 (37:30):
That that hit near the goal line was outstanding too.
I mean, like, listen, I don't care. We can debate
whether that's targeting. Dan, Like, it's overtime and you are
trying to score inside of my five, I'm taking your
lid off. I'm doing whatever is necessary to keep you
out of my end zone. But I think the biggest
difference when I was in it, man, like, the passion
(37:53):
and adrenaline and the hatred is a little bit stronger
at the college level. When I was in the NFL,
I remember being around piles and the kind of like
holding you up, like, hey, don't get tangled up, don't
get in the pile.
Speaker 5 (38:03):
I'm like, what what so I think it is? It
is definitely a different game.
Speaker 11 (38:09):
And listen, everybody can plan Dan when we went to
when we talked about nil and we talked about transfer
portal and everybody got upset, and I get it.
Speaker 5 (38:17):
But because of that, we.
Speaker 11 (38:18):
Have more parody in the game of college football than
we've ever had. Nobody's going anymore to sit behind at
big time schools and be developed. They're going to get
a paycheck, and so the talent is spread out more,
the dominance of the teams are aren't as big as
they used to be, and so I think it's even
more intense every week and more hatred than some of
the rivalries obviously being there every single year.
Speaker 2 (38:41):
What if Ohio State loses to Tennessee. Oh boy.
Speaker 11 (38:47):
You know, it's interesting to hear Kirk on the broadcast
the other day talk about, you know, the Ohio State
and if if they start slow, the fans jumping on
top of them and booing, and there's just it's just
crazy with the Ryan Day because forty seven and one
in the Big ten, forty seven in one, but one
in four versus Michigan, and that has just been absolutely
(39:08):
his kryptonite and he's had no answer for it. And
even Michigan and Dan it's not hardball because he's gone, Like,
it's not all those players that got drafted because he's gone.
It's not Connor Stallions because he's gone. Like it's it's
running out of things on the other side that continue
to beat you. So if I'm an Ohio State fan,
I get the frustration. I know he's been great, but yeah,
(39:31):
first round lost to Tennessee, which could happen because Tennessee's
a really really good football team.
Speaker 5 (39:36):
I don't know what the heck it looks like in Columbus.
Speaker 2 (39:39):
How rough was the year for Calin de bor at Alabama?
Speaker 11 (39:44):
You know, it's interesting because if we're gonna be fair,
and I always want to be fair, there's so many
players that left, like this is not the same team
Nick Saban had from a talent standpoint, like guys took
off left and right once they found out that Nick
Saban was leaving was retiring, So his talent isn't as
great as it was. But I think the inconsistencies in
(40:05):
the up and down, and I think what you thought
with Kaylyn de Boor you got was an offensive genius
who would.
Speaker 5 (40:10):
Score a bunch of points.
Speaker 11 (40:11):
So to have them score, you know, the second last
game of the season against Oklahoma, to score three points
and get beat by twenty one, like, that's not acceptable
if you're a Bama fan. Not going to the playoff
is one thing, but losing to Vandy, losing to Oklahoma, penalties, palooza, offense,
not taking off like you should. So I think there's
gonna be frustration. I think this helps recruiting from an
(40:33):
other standpoint because the negative recruiting is going to pile
on like crazy. So I definitely don't think he came in.
I'm not gonna give him an a. I don't think
he failed either. But you know, somewhere in there was
a c because it was a kind of a it's
kind of a blow average season for Alabama.
Speaker 2 (40:48):
He gets one of these it's one of these what seasons?
Speaker 11 (40:54):
Uh yeah, maybe two at the very most too. But yeah, yeah,
you're right because this is not Alabama, Like, this is
not their standard and who they are, So yeah, there is.
It's not going to be a long leash for an
Alabama coach that has a lot of talent, a lot
of resources in the history of that program.
Speaker 2 (41:13):
Good to talk to you as always, David, Thanks for
joining us.
Speaker 5 (41:16):
Appreciate you, big dog.

Sports Radio.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
We'll talk about the college football playoffs. The bookmakers don't
think these are going to be competitive games this according
to DraftKings this morning, Indiana against Notre Dame. At Notre Dame,
Indiana's getting seven and a half, smu is getting nine
at Penn State, Clemson getting eleven at Texas, and then
Tennessee getting seven and a half against Ohio State. By
(00:27):
the way, odds to win the national title, we have
co favorites to win the national title. Oregon and Texas
are your co favorites this morning, followed by Georgia, Ohio State,
and then Penn State. If I would have said to
you in September, Hey, Arizona State's going to be in,
(00:50):
Clemson's going to be in, smu is going to be in,
Boise State's going to be in. Indiana's going to be in,
you'd go wait, basketball, no Footballson got roughed up early.
Remember that Georgia roughed them up and then we moved
on from Clemson. Well, all you have to do is
win your conference. I mean, I don't know if Clemson's
any good, but they won their conference. So they're in.
(01:14):
SMU survived and I say survived so they could get
in because they scored seventeen points in the fourth quarter.
If they do not score those seventeen, if they score seven,
I don't think they're in the playoffs, and I will
sit corrected. I didn't think the committee was going to
leave Alabama out, and I'm not alone in that, but
it was an interesting conversation they had to have with
(01:38):
Alabama didn't get in. Why didn't they get in? They
talk about strength to schedule. Well, when you get embarrassed,
you got embarrassed against Vandy, you got embarrassed against Oklahoma,
just win. That's what this is all about. Arizona State,
I think was picked for last in the Big twelve.
They're good team. They roughed up Iowa State, Boise State
(01:59):
gets a bar Indiana in at Notre Dame. But we're
going to be talking about this and I think we
had to go through this process for one year now.
I think they're going to tweak what you have to
do where the seedings are first round by this is
where you just say, okay, let's see how this plays out.
(02:20):
Let's see where some of the sensitive points are that
we can correct. And I still maintain if you're going
to do twelve teams, you win your conference, you get in.
But that doesn't mean that you get a first round
by Boise State shouldn't get a first round by Arizona State,
shouldn't get a first round by I think it should
(02:43):
be when your conference. Now we start to seed this,
that's what happens with the basketball tournament. You're not guaranteed
a number one seed because you win the ACC or
the SEC. And I think that's what they need to do.
Is Boise State, I'm glad they're in, Arizona State, I'm
glad they're in. But then after that, I think you
(03:04):
got to be fair to strength of schedule. And that's
where I think that if you go with rankings, then
I think you get a truer sense of how good
teams are, what they did during the course of a year,
and if you had two losses, maybe three, what was
your strength of schedule? This is what I worry about.
And you already have athletic directors talking about this, Well,
(03:26):
we're going to really look at you out of conference
scheduling because there is there's no reason to do something
out of conference and run the risk of losing. If
you lose more than two games, you're not getting in
or it's really going to be difficult. Clemson didn't play anybody.
Clemson won the ACC that's all you have to do.
(03:48):
Arizona State, just win your conference, Boise State when you're in.
But then after that, I think you need to have
receding or seating. I can't be giving these schools of
first round by I don't think that's fair to the
other conferences and the strength of schedule that they may have.
You know, it's gonna be tweaked, it's not perfect, and
(04:10):
maybe eventually we get to the what are we doing?
Why don't we just make this a pro model? And
there's gonna be a certain number of schools that are
going to play, and there'll be schools maybe get relegated,
whatever you want to do with it. We're heading that way.
It's almost like when we had one versus two and
then we said, how about two more teams? Is that
(04:30):
a lot? And then all of a sudden, you know,
we had co National champs a long long time ago.
I mean, Chap, can you imagine if we had co
National champs? Now? Hey, Georgia Tech and Colorado or co
National champs. Huh, but we had that. There's so much
more attached to this, so many more people, so much
(04:53):
more money attached to this. And that's why I think
they'll get around to tweaking this a little bit more,
and next year you'll probably have something along the lines
of what I've been talking about. I have somebody who
is close to the committee, and they have told me
that this, of course is a topic of conversation whether
it gets enacted next year, because I was told, hey,
(05:15):
fourteen maybe next year, but probably going to be the
following season where you'll have fourteen schools instead of twelve.
Let's see how this plays out. It looks fun, it
sounds fun. Would I have liked Alabama in South Bend? Yes,
I would have. That would have been great. Tennessee. I
(05:36):
love that against Ohio State. I mean there's matchups where
you go all right, like Clemson's in, you know, and
you get Texas, but there's going it almost feels like
Oregon would have been better off losing the Big Ten
title game. Get I didn't think that they treated Oregon
fairly there. And Penn State they look pretty good. They
(05:56):
look pretty good. That's the first time where I go, okay, competitive,
neutral field, and maybe they will be a tough out,
but I think the first round by bothers people probably
more than anything else involved in this because you're looking
at Boise State in Arizona State and you're going, really yeah,
but that's the system this year, all right? Eight seven

thank you for downloading the app and our radio affiliates
around the country as well. Poll question Seaton, what are
you thinking about today? Uh?
Speaker 3 (06:34):
Well, we'll probably start with who had the best weekend?
Who had the worst weekend? It's one of our favorites
on Monday. Okay, you're gonna start positive. Yeah, okay, okay,
how about Pooka Nakua. Yeah he had a great weekend.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
Yeah he did. He just he's different, Like they're receivers
that are fast, they are ones that are quick. He
just is tough to bring down.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
That catch you out on the sideline was unbelievable.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
Yeah, it's almost when you watch and you're going and
you know, Cooper Cup has been unbelievable. But Phuka Nakua
that's the guy. He's the guy, and you watch him
and you go, he's not fast, he's just physical, and
all of a sudden, you know, you're pulling in twelve
catches all of a sudden, you know. I mean, Buffalo
(07:22):
was back and forth with this, and they realized, hey,
do we have any defense here? Because that's what the
Rams have offense. They have a whole lot of offense.
But I loved what I saw with Josh Allen. I mean,
when you throw for three and you run for three
that's never been done before and no sacks. Here is
(07:43):
Sean McVay, the Rams coach, talking about the greatness of
Josh Allen.
Speaker 4 (07:47):
That's an excellent team. I mean, do you see Josh
Allen is an alien. Some of the stuff that he
can do and the things that he can create. We
knew he was capable of that.
Speaker 5 (07:55):
He's shown that.
Speaker 4 (07:56):
It's why he is, you know, as well respected and
regarded in this league as he is. It's all deserved
and earned. But our guys found a way to just
make enough plays to be able to come out on top.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
Yeah they did. It was fun. That was back and forth.
Really enjoyed that. All right, So you have Pooka Nakua,
who else you.
Speaker 5 (08:15):
And you know what else too? With Pooka.
Speaker 3 (08:16):
He he's been hurt a lot this year, but he's
clearly a real deal or like a real dealer, you know,
in that they don't the whole Well, you get a
little bit of tape on this guy, you figure out
how to nobody's figured that out.
Speaker 2 (08:29):
Yet, it's true, you know. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (08:34):
How about you know who had a pretty good weekend,
believe it or not. What about Aaron Rodgers?
Speaker 2 (08:40):
Okay, I'm listening.
Speaker 3 (08:44):
He actually he did a couple of things that you
were like, hey, there we go.
Speaker 2 (08:49):
You mean the things he's supposed to do. Well, Yes,
he threw for three hundred yards okay, and they lost.
They did, They did lose, but it's a close game.
This is why you have Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 3 (09:05):
You can't blame this one on him. That feels like
a win. You can't blame this one on Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
Is he is he blaming everybody else? It's like, you
can't you can't blame me? Yeah? Uh, you know who
had a good weekend and he lost and he lost
the previous week and he lost the previous week. Bryce Young,
Oh yeah, right, Seaton was saying, Carolina, you gotta feel
(09:36):
pretty good about that. Bryce Young looks comfortable. They almost
knock off the Chiefs, They almost knocked off the Eagles,
and it felt like they had a chance. And that's
a win in my book, especially where they've been.
Speaker 3 (09:51):
Dave can Alis, you're the head coach there, You're like, hey,
it started out abysmal. It started out worse than we
could have possibly imagined. But it's turned around. Your competitive
You have a good weekend, a competitive weekend against a
clear Super Bowl contender.
Speaker 2 (10:05):
Yeah, that works. Yeah. And then and then you did
it against the Chiefs where you had a chance.
Speaker 6 (10:10):
Yeah, yes, Pauline, I'll throw in Rock Purty twenty of
twenty five, three twenty five, two touchdowns, almost a perfect
quarterback rating. They smoked the Bears. He's looking at a
contract in this offseason.
Speaker 2 (10:22):
I know they're I thought, maybe you do that Baker
Mayfield kind of contract.
Speaker 5 (10:26):
Yea.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
And the insiders he and Rapoport was saying, no, no,
full boat that they're looking at a full boat, full
boat for Rock Purdy. How about Sam Donald? Sam Donald
five touchdown passes. All he does is when I like
how the Vikings everybody's going Vikings are geniuses. They got
(10:48):
Sam Darnald, Well, are they really brilliant?
Speaker 7 (10:51):
Hey?
Speaker 2 (10:52):
They you're not getting credit for Sam Donald, you're not.
You drafted JJ McCarthy. Kirk d Cousins got rid of him,
and Sam Donald was going to be a backup. Now
he's played well, But I don't know if I can
go man that organization. They're two steps ahead of everybody else.
(11:14):
I don't think you were planning on this. But Sam
Darnald he's been great at times, he's been great, and
Kirk d Cousins.
Speaker 5 (11:23):
Has not.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
He is not. And you know I do like Kirk
d Cousins, but this isn't personal when I say they
should bench him. I would like to see Michael Pennix Junior,
the third get a chance go in there. He can't
be worse. It's it'd be almost impossible to be worse.
And I would put him in there and maybe you
(11:47):
see something and let's say he struggles. Okay, at least
he got a taste this year to get ready for
next year. Yes boy.
Speaker 6 (11:55):
A month ago, kirk Cousins had just finished winning five
of six games his last time. Two games were on
National TV to end October, they beat Tampa and beat Dallas.
He had four touchdowns and then three touchdowns the next week,
no picks. In the last four weeks, he's thrown eight
interceptions and no touchdowns. He undid it in a month.
Speaker 2 (12:13):
The Falcons are the first team in NFL history to
have a four game span where they didn't have a
passing touchdown. They threw over at least eight interceptions while
allowing at least eight passing touchdowns and getting zero interceptions.

Speaker 2 (12:46):
Brought ubon Panini America. By the way, congratulations to the Jets.
They're officially eliminated and they have broken a tie with
the Buffalo Sabers for the longest active playoff drought across
all four May sports leagues. I'm watching I'm going and
(13:12):
a friend of mine is a Dolphin fan. He goes,
we can't lose to the Jets. I said, you're not.
He goes, how can you say that? I said, you're
not going to lose to the Jets. I've seen this movie.
I know how this plays out.

The Mets have shelled out seven hundred and sixty five
million dollars for Juan Soda. I don't know if it
takes talent, Like when somebody says, wow, okay, congratulate that.
I think their owner Steve Cohen said, look, I'm going
to pay more than anybody else. And that's music to
Scott Boris's hears. That's all we want. It's like, is
(14:00):
this the right place for my guy or the right
amount of money for my guy? And it's the right
amount of money for his guy. So Wan Soto is
going to the Mets seven hundred and sixty five million
dollars for fifteen years. Congratulations? I think seven hundred and
sixty five Yes, Marman.
Speaker 8 (14:21):
I was just ready to applaud him. Oh you were
his parents, his siblings.
Speaker 2 (14:26):
What's life going to be like in sports in the
year twenty forty? Wow, what's it going to be like?
So when this contract is up by Juan Soto, twenty
forty guys are going to get a billion. Who's getting
a billion dollars baseball players billion, I would think, because
(14:50):
you already got up to seven hundred now seven sixty five,
seven sixty five. Do I hear seven eighty seven eighty
seven eighty seven eighty Do I hear eight? One hundred
million dollars? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (14:59):
Seed crazy is that the person who's going to get
a billion dollars is probably like three or four years
old right now.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
Well, you're going to have one hundred million dollar a
year basketball player. That's going to happen. First, football players,
quarterbacks are probably going to get in the next five years.
Maybe you get to seventy five million, I'm guessing. But basketball,
the NBA, it just do the math, and I still
(15:27):
think Shay Gilgis, Alexander or Luca don Chick are going
to be the first one hundred million dollar a year
basketball players. Baseball we're getting close to, like not necessarily
how much you make per season, but it's how much
you make the totality of that contract. Eight seven seven
(15:47):
to three DP show email address dpat Danpatrick dot com,
Twitter handle a DP show. The Chiefs continue to do it.
I don't think they're a great team, but they're great
at winning. They know to do when to do it,
and there's a certain calm that you have. There's certain athletes,
certain teams, certain coaches that they prepare for this. They're good.
(16:13):
They're just good at being able to kind of like
block everything out. And look at the last play with
Mahomes and Kelsey. They've been doing this a long time.
Nothing fancy about it. It's just Mahomes has this ability
to make a subtle move when he feels pressure, subtle move,
(16:33):
get out of the way, He finds Kelsey and then
you kick a field goal. Here's Andy Reid after the game.
Speaker 9 (16:42):
I have trust in Matthew, so I was good with
where we were. Percentages are pretty high. I know we've
won a game in that same situation on the opposite end,
so I get it. But he's he's a solid kicker,
so I wasn't too worried about it.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
Yeah, you just you have my Homes. You just start there.
Nobody has whom Josh Allen was wonderful against the Rams, incredible,
But this Kansas City defense is good and they keep
you in the game and then when it comes down
to the final two minutes, as we saw with Brady,
(17:21):
as you saw at times with Montana, it was like, oh,
you're in trouble. And that's the feeling. I can't imagine
what that that's like for the defense when they're going, God,
you want your offense, just score touchdown, just score, make
it tough. Now they have a chance. And then you
go out there and you know he's just looking for
(17:42):
one little moment. Then he got it and they won again.
And it's not by accident. I mean they've done this,
they continue to do this, and the game has turned
into they're all one score games. It feels like ninety
nine games have been decided by six points or less.
That's the most through Week fourteen in NFL history. Yeah,
(18:04):
they continue to set that record every single week. These
games come down to one score. And that's why one moment,
one mistake, and then you're done, and the great teams
take advantage. They seize that moment, They embrace that moment,
They love that moment.
Speaker 8 (18:22):
Yes, Mark, if you're a Chargers fan, did you feel
good about that yesterday? Like now going if we make
the playoffs, we can really make some noise when we
get in there.
Speaker 2 (18:31):
I thought they were going to win the game. Prior
to the start, I thought they're going to win this game,
and you have your moment there. But the Charger's got
to get to that point where they can win these
games where Justin Herbert says, I got it, Jim Harball says, hey,
we got this. They had their opportunity and there's still
(18:54):
a dangerous team. It's kind of interesting, though, how Justin
Herbert's being used. Look at some of these quarterbacks. The
Bills don't want Josh Allen throwing the ball thirty five times.
They's so much better when he does it. Jalen Hurts
with the Eagles, he didn't really do much damage. Justin Herbert,
(19:17):
he doesn't you know he's going to. He threw a
lot more than I thought he was going to. But
you kind of want to get that balance. We're seeing
these offenses want to be a little more balanced now.
I don't know if they're going to be like that
in the playoffs, but they do look for balance.
Speaker 5 (19:32):
Here.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
The Ravens run the ball. You know all these teams,
the Eagles are probably a run first team. Now, Buffalo
runs the ball really well, Like this is what teams
want to get. Give me balance here a little bit
or maybe it's sixty forty because it wasn't that long
ago when it was probably eighty twenty passing to running
(19:54):
and your running back was a guy who caught passes.
Speaker 6 (19:56):
Yes, Paulin two years ago, Justin Herbert had six hundred
ninety nine passing attempts. This year, he's on pace for
five hundred and thirty the same number of games.
Speaker 2 (20:04):
Yeah, they want that because that means that you can
control the clock, you are probably ahead in the game.
And I think that's really the important part of all
of this. You're getting towards the postseason. Now, can you
do what you've done in the postseason? And with Kansas City,
as much as they're not a great team, but having
(20:25):
that ability to win who else game on the line?
What other team do you go they can be as
good as Kansas City? And the answer is nobody, truly nobody.
Can I trust Jalen Hurts in that moment, He's going
to make that big play. Josh Allen is going to
make that big play. Justin Herbert, Jordan Love, Jared Goff.
(20:50):
There's one Mahomes that's it because he has shown that
he can do that. These other players, you know, Jared
Goff has gotten to a Super Bowl, an NFC titled game.
Jordan love Is played well last year in the postseason.
Josh Allen, We've seen him play well up until he
doesn't play well. You know, Joe Burrow's not going to
be in the playoffs. Tua, by the way, is playing
(21:13):
really well. I watch a lot of that game with
the Jets, and he looks really it's gonna sound like
it's not a compliment. He looks efficient, like there's just
an efficiency there and spreading the wealth around. Russell Wilson
Junior the third played well. Although I'm watching and and uh,
(21:35):
Jamis throws a touchdown pass and I'm like okay. And
Nate Burrelson comes on to give the update from CBS.
He's like, you know something about Jamis is must see TV,
just like Jerry Springer. And speaking of Jerry, Jerry Judy
with a touchdown, I go, okay. I think now let
(21:58):
me see the next time he gets the ball, because
I can pretty much guarantee James Winston's going to throw
an interception and bingo, bango, bongo, there you go. He
had two interceptions and two touchdown passes.
Speaker 5 (22:11):
One for me one.
Speaker 2 (22:15):
He's a share, he's a care yes he is.
Speaker 8 (22:17):
Yes, Marvin, so he still hasn't been delivered from those
pick sixties.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
No he is not, No, he is not.
Speaker 6 (22:23):
He has fall going back to Mahomes and winning the MVP.
It's if he ever wins it again, it probably won't
be Stats two years ago he had forty one touchdowns.
Last year in sixteen games, twenty seven touchdowns, fourteen picks
for him, that's below average. This year he's on pace
for twenty seven touchdowns and fourteen picks.
Speaker 2 (22:41):
Yeah, yeah, I think those days are gone of you know,
these guys throwing forty touchdown passes. And I go back,
you know, year two he threw fifty touchdown passes. Second
year in the league, first year starting, fifty touchdown passes.
I mean that's like Dan Marino his second year. They
(23:03):
went to the Super Bowl. All right, How about some
phone calls? Best and worst of the weekend Vince in Austin, Vince, welcome.
Speaker 10 (23:11):
Back, Good morning, guys, Happy Monday. This one two thirty
at Fluffy two thirty, ah, worst of the weekend at
Texas Long Ones. Not only did we come up short
Saturday at the SEC Championship game, we turn around and
got to work here you go. Marvin got worked by
(23:33):
the two time defending champion Yukon hostans. Oh my gosh,
never underestimate the heart of a champion.
Speaker 2 (23:40):
Vince, Vince, you have to do a pie to the face.
Speaker 10 (23:44):
Yeah, did we bett?
Speaker 1 (23:46):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (23:47):
No, Vince, Oh wow.
Speaker 10 (23:52):
Humble pie right now?
Speaker 2 (23:53):
You called out Marvin.
Speaker 8 (23:56):
Now, not a humble pie.
Speaker 2 (23:58):
Cherry pie. Well, Vince, Vince.
Speaker 10 (24:02):
I watched that because across the street neighbor is hingle.
Mom said dancer Dicabaret her stage name with cherry pie.
So we don't watch how guys, all.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
Right, you know a lot about his neighbor. Yeah, cherry pie,
all right? Maybe a blueberry pie, fretzy, don't google cherry
pie in Austin.
Speaker 8 (24:23):
I did that once before I had to bring my
computer into the show.
Speaker 2 (24:26):
Yeah, yeah, don't do that, Vince. I think you should
do a blueberry pie.
Speaker 10 (24:30):
I'm allergic. Googbery's got you there. My favorite is key
lime or lemon meringue.
Speaker 2 (24:36):
You can do that too, but the lemon will burn
a little bit there, just saying, but you you, oh Marvin,
that you called him out, and I'm glad you called
in to deliver.
Speaker 3 (24:47):
Yes, s Yeah, you want to be careful with the
citrus pies. Yeah, don't leave them on too long they burn.
Speaker 2 (24:51):
Yes, yes, and maybe you can get Cherry Pie to
come over and smash you with a pie.
Speaker 10 (24:55):
Vince, this is a fan the show guys, come on.
Speaker 2 (25:01):
Thank you, Ben Cherry Pie. H Randy and Idaho, Hi, Randy.
What's on your mind today?
Speaker 7 (25:13):
That's and worse for the weekend? That ram Bill game
very exciting. Worse the officiating in the ram Bill game.
They lost. They lost eleven seconds. There was an offensive
PI in the first half that was atrocious and if
anyone can explain to me how that wasn't. Holding by
Cooper Cup on the Rams final touchdown is beyond me.
(25:34):
I'm a high school football official and holding a lot
of times is positioning. Cooper Cup gets lazy and he
wraps his arms both arms around the defender out in
front of the officials at the point of attack. That's holding.
Bad officiating in that.
Speaker 2 (25:51):
Game, Randy, what's it like to deal with high school parents?
Speaker 7 (25:59):
It almost makes you I want to officiate. The lower
you go, the worse. It is like junior high parents
standing on the sidelines screaming and they have no idea
what they're talking about and that's why we have a
shortage officials nationwide.
Speaker 2 (26:14):
What's the worst it ever got?
Speaker 7 (26:18):
We got escorted out of a Rivalry games parking lot
by police. And I think it was like a thirty
two point game, so I guess we had a big
outcome or a big impact on the outcome. The team
lost by thirty two points, but parents wanted to kill us.
Speaker 2 (26:39):
Well, why did you want to be an official to
begin with?
Speaker 7 (26:47):
It's kind of a bug. I did baseball for about
thirty five years and I got into football about twenty
five years ago. And if you do it, it's it's addictive.
The blast that you work with some good guys, The
atmosphere is fun, and you kind of have to go
back to, Hey, maybe we're helping use sports a little
(27:10):
bit by doing this.
Speaker 2 (27:11):
Well you are, and thanks for doing it, and thanks
for calling in, Randy. It's tough. I remember doing little
league baseball and then I did Legion ball and I
was an umpire and you would have parents stand right
right on the fence. They'd be yelling right behind you.
(27:32):
The batting cage, batting area, they'd be right there and
they would be pressed up against that. They'd be yelling
at you, and they would be sitting that's a ball
How can you call that? You know? Like it was
I had to run somebody one time and I said,
you're out of here. He said, says who, And I
(27:53):
said me And he goes, what are you going to
do about it? I said, I'm going to forfeit the
go ahead. So I said, all right, I'm gonna and
the guy goes, all right, all right, I'll leave. All right,
I'll leave. So he goes down first baseline and he's
just outside of the fence and I can still hear
(28:16):
him because he didn't he even said, you're kicking me
out of the ballpark, right? I said yes, And so
he just went to the outskirts and was still yelling.
And I'm thinking, I'm getting paid, like I don't know,
four dollars an hour. You know, it's just not worth it.
It's not. And having a father who used to yell
(28:40):
at officials during my basketball games, I understand it. It's tough,
thankless job. And the fact that you have to be
escorted by police out of a parking lot. They should
not let parents go. They should say we're going to
make the game available for you to watch it. The
(29:00):
kids are usually fine. It's the parents. Yeah, PAULI.
Speaker 6 (29:04):
I went to youth game a couple months ago and
this PA announcer is welcome to blank blank whatever. Please
be courteous to officials. Blah blah blah, do not heckle
the players. And if you did play professional basketball, then
you can tell the refs what they're doing.
Speaker 2 (29:16):
Please stand up.
Speaker 6 (29:16):
If you played in the NBA, nobody stands up and
everyone left. It's pretty snarky.

new children's book, The Won't Quit Kid, now available online
at Bravebooks dot com. Former All American at Georgia, formerly
of ESPN's College Game Day, kind enough to join us again, David,
Good to see you. When the final rankings came out,
(29:52):
the playoff matchups came out, you thought, what, uh.
Speaker 11 (29:57):
Is Oregon the number one seed or Georgia. That's the
first thing when you saw the finalized bracket was man,
Oregon's got a tough row a hoe for a team
that was undefeated, that looked like the best team all
year long, and you look at their side, and if
I'm starting to look at teams that I think have
the talent to get hot and to win this thing,
Ohio State, Tennessee, Texas all on their side. And so
(30:22):
if I'm Oregon, I probably was a little bit frustrated
from that. And then obviously the SMU Bama debate being settled,
going to SMU.
Speaker 2 (30:29):
Okay, what did you think about that decision?
Speaker 11 (30:32):
Well, here's the thing, man, I get a little bit frustrated.
And I know Bama fans are great fans, and they
should be great fans.
Speaker 5 (30:39):
They've had a lot to cheer about.
Speaker 11 (30:40):
And I do understand how you point to the wins
and you say we have better wins than SMU, But
we also have to point to the losses. And we
got to realize that you got two losses to six
and six teams, and you got beat by twenty one
to a six and six team. And so while I
do understand that they played better COMPETI got more wins.
(31:01):
Also to understand that they got dominated by a poor
team late in the season. They were very up and
down throughout the season without a lack of consistency, and
SMU was really consistent and then lost in a championship game.
And the committee also showed us two the way they
ranked people, like they did not hurt anybody for playing
in a championship game. They have in years past. This
(31:22):
year you could tell Texas didn't get hurt. They still
got a huge ranking. They still got the.
Speaker 5 (31:27):
Three seed overall, so Penn State. Same thing.
Speaker 11 (31:30):
They didn't drop people off the face of the earth
because of a conference championship loss.
Speaker 2 (31:34):
What would you tweak going into next season?
Speaker 11 (31:38):
Dan, It makes my head hurt when I see the
rankings and then the seatings being different, Like I just
needed to all be one.
Speaker 5 (31:46):
I don't need all of this number of stuff. I'm
not that bright. I don't want to think that hard.
I think the.
Speaker 11 (31:53):
Best team should be on the they should be seated
one through twelve if we're going to stay at twelve
and seed in one through twelve and give them the
best matchup and the best path going forward. But the seedings,
with the rankings, you know, it's just frustrating. I think
everybody would get away with or do away with the
preseason stuff. Probably more and more because we have preconceived
(32:14):
notions going into the season that don't turn out to
be true with the ranked wins, sometimes that we're very fraudulent,
but also will.
Speaker 5 (32:22):
Change one other thing.
Speaker 11 (32:22):
Dan like, I need more interconference matchups, so I need
to get rid of some of these cupcakes, and I
need the ACC to play Every team in the ACC
needs to.
Speaker 5 (32:33):
Play one team in the SEC.
Speaker 11 (32:35):
Every team in the AEC needs to play one team
in the Big ten, Every team in the ACC needs
to play one team.
Speaker 5 (32:39):
In the Big twelve.
Speaker 11 (32:40):
So now when we're doing this crossover game and this
strength of schedule game and who would beat who game,
we have more information and more data points that go
into it that can help us make more informed decisions.
Speaker 2 (32:53):
I've been suggesting since this format started is if you
win your conference, you're in. I'm fine with that. It's
like the NCAA Tournament with March Madness. If you win
the SEC, that doesn't mean you're number one seed. You
just get in the tournament. You're gonna have a pretty
high seed. So Boise State winning its conference or Arizona
State winning their conferences, you're in. That doesn't mean you
(33:16):
get a first round by let's be fair to everybody.
Have Vegas give you their odds, and then once you're
in and then we seed you. We have one through twelve,
and then you have your matchup. So whoever is won.
If you have Oregon at one and you have Clemson
at twelve, that's your first round matchup, or they get
(33:36):
a buy for the first four you know seed, you know,
first four ranked teams. I'm okay with all of that.
I don't think it's that difficult to figure this out
moving forward.
Speaker 11 (33:47):
We're gonna make everything difficult, that's what That's what we're
gonna do. I mean, we even made the head to
head difficult, Like you know, when you're starting to diagnose
you know, Bama, South Carolina, Ole Miss, and you're starting
to do that game between those three we were talking
and like everybody's banging the drum for South Carolina. They
had a great season, Dan, an awesome season, but you
lost the Bowl teams like that's part of the criteria.
Speaker 5 (34:10):
The criteria very much stipulates its.
Speaker 11 (34:12):
Head to head and then common opponents, which when you
went with Bama and ole Miss, they had a lot
of common opponents and ole Miss quite honestly fared better
against them. But yeah, I think the committee maybe a
little more transparency there.
Speaker 5 (34:25):
I think you would take that too, Dan, wouldn't you?
Speaker 2 (34:26):
I would? But college football loves a mess, though, David. Yeah,
if this was clean and there's no debate, like they
want this to be debated, they're okay with being criticized.
We were not allowed to see what goes on in
those meetings.
Speaker 5 (34:41):
So but at least we're debating.
Speaker 11 (34:43):
At least we're debating twelve, the twelfth of thirteen, fourteenth
team versus four, five and six, and then FSU was
undefeated getting left out, So that makes you feel a
heck of a lot better. You're leaving out a team
that's going to bang their chest they got three losses, Like,
that's not We're not feeling sorry for anybody with three laws.
Speaker 2 (35:00):
He's David Pollack, the former All American linebacker Georgia used
to be with ESPN's College Game Day. You can see
David Pollack college Football on YouTube. How many teams can
win the national title?
Speaker 11 (35:13):
Man, that's a great question. I think I would go
with confidently. I would go with four. I think there's
four teams that could win it.
Speaker 5 (35:24):
Actually, i'd go with five.
Speaker 11 (35:25):
Because I and I know people are going to say
this to me, like Notre Dame's never done anything, and
they're going to push back. But I just I like
the dominance that I've seen from Notre Dame. I like
the attitude. I think they know exactly who they are,
which I think there's a lot of teams in here
that we don't really know who they are.
Speaker 5 (35:41):
So the one side, I'll go Georgia and Notre Dame.
Speaker 11 (35:45):
On the other side, again, this is why the brackets harder,
I'll go Oregon. I think Tennessee could win it. I
think Ohio State could win it. And I'm not there
on Texas just because of their offense, but I think
with their defense, with their defense being so elite, I
think it'll keep it in it. But offense has been
so I mean, it's so strange to have a start
team that's not great on offense.
Speaker 5 (36:04):
But I guess that's six four up top, two down low.
Speaker 2 (36:09):
Okay, should it be held against Georgia that Carson Beck
got injured and now now granted his backup is a
five star recruit, but we did this to Florida State.
I've already heard from Florida State fans, Are you going
to penalize Georgia now it's twelve teams, if it's four,
(36:29):
I don't know if Georgia's in Like, I don't know
how these things would have played out like that, But
did the committee penalize Georgia in any way that they
may not have their best quarterback going forward?
Speaker 11 (36:41):
I think that the difference between FSU and Georgia to
me is Georgia clearly looked better with their backup quarterback.
Speaker 5 (36:47):
FSU looked like a train wreck on offense.
Speaker 11 (36:50):
So that that's where I would say FSU's defense still
looked elite. They still won the ACC they were still great.
Georgia's defense still looked elite, But like I could, I
would argue I watching that game, the second half, Georgia's
offense went like this as opposed to off a cliff
with FSU.
Speaker 5 (37:06):
So I think that probably goes into it as well.
Speaker 2 (37:08):
And I know you played defense and watching these games
this weekend, like the NFL was violent, it's not as
violent as college football. It's just not. I mean, it
feels like they let you play a little bit more,
you get away. I know they have targeting, but damn
that Texas game. I mean, holy smokes, David.
Speaker 11 (37:30):
That that hit near the goal line was outstanding too.
I mean, like, listen, I don't care. We can debate
whether that's targeting. Dan, Like, it's overtime and you are
trying to score inside of my five, I'm taking your
lid off. I'm doing whatever is necessary to keep you
out of my end zone. But I think the biggest
difference when I was in it, man, like, the passion
(37:53):
and adrenaline and the hatred is a little bit stronger
at the college level. When I was in the NFL,
I remember being around piles and the kind of like
holding you up, like, hey, don't get tangled up, don't
get in the pile.
Speaker 5 (38:03):
I'm like, what what so I think it is? It
is definitely a different game.
Speaker 11 (38:09):
And listen, everybody can plan Dan when we went to
when we talked about nil and we talked about transfer
portal and everybody got upset, and I get it.
Speaker 5 (38:17):
But because of that, we.
Speaker 11 (38:18):
Have more parody in the game of college football than
we've ever had. Nobody's going anymore to sit behind at
big time schools and be developed. They're going to get
a paycheck, and so the talent is spread out more,
the dominance of the teams are aren't as big as
they used to be, and so I think it's even
more intense every week and more hatred than some of
the rivalries obviously being there every single year.
Speaker 2 (38:41):
What if Ohio State loses to Tennessee. Oh boy.
Speaker 11 (38:47):
You know, it's interesting to hear Kirk on the broadcast
the other day talk about, you know, the Ohio State
and if if they start slow, the fans jumping on
top of them and booing, and there's just it's just
crazy with the Ryan Day because forty seven and one
in the Big ten, forty seven in one, but one
in four versus Michigan, and that has just been absolutely
(39:08):
his kryptonite and he's had no answer for it. And
even Michigan and Dan it's not hardball because he's gone, Like,
it's not all those players that got drafted because he's gone.
It's not Connor Stallions because he's gone. Like it's it's
running out of things on the other side that continue
to beat you. So if I'm an Ohio State fan,
I get the frustration. I know he's been great, but yeah,
(39:31):
first round lost to Tennessee, which could happen because Tennessee's
a really really good football team.
Speaker 5 (39:36):
I don't know what the heck it looks like in Columbus.
Speaker 2 (39:39):
How rough was the year for Calin de bor at Alabama?
Speaker 11 (39:44):
You know, it's interesting because if we're gonna be fair,
and I always want to be fair, there's so many
players that left, like this is not the same team
Nick Saban had from a talent standpoint, like guys took
off left and right once they found out that Nick
Saban was leaving was retiring, So his talent isn't as
great as it was. But I think the inconsistencies in
(40:05):
the up and down, and I think what you thought
with Kaylyn de Boor you got was an offensive genius
who would.
Speaker 5 (40:10):
Score a bunch of points.
Speaker 11 (40:11):
So to have them score, you know, the second last
game of the season against Oklahoma, to score three points
and get beat by twenty one, like, that's not acceptable
if you're a Bama fan. Not going to the playoff
is one thing, but losing to Vandy, losing to Oklahoma, penalties, palooza, offense,
not taking off like you should. So I think there's
gonna be frustration. I think this helps recruiting from an
(40:33):
other standpoint because the negative recruiting is going to pile
on like crazy. So I definitely don't think he came in.
I'm not gonna give him an a. I don't think
he failed either. But you know, somewhere in there was
a c because it was a kind of a it's
kind of a blow average season for Alabama.
Speaker 2 (40:48):
He gets one of these it's one of these what seasons?
Speaker 11 (40:54):
Uh yeah, maybe two at the very most too. But yeah, yeah,
you're right because this is not Alabama, Like, this is
not their standard and who they are, So yeah, there is.
It's not going to be a long leash for an
Alabama coach that has a lot of talent, a lot
of resources in the history of that program.
