Episode Transcript
[00:00:04] Speaker A: All right, we're back for the second half. Hopefully not as long. We are gonna make this short and sweet because I am crashing as we speak.
I need Santa to bring me some uppers for Christmas. That's all I need. So Santa, if you're hearing, get me some coffee.
Whatever, you know, whatever you think is appropriate in my stocking. But we're gonna go over some college football games here because the playoffs do start tomorrow.
[00:00:38] Speaker B: Tomorrow?
[00:00:39] Speaker A: We should record this on Wednesday. There's no way I can get this out in time unless.
All right, so tomorrow, Alabama, Oklahoma.
It would have been nice of you to put the seeds here, you know, and the rankings.
[00:00:53] Speaker B: Eight, nine. Eight, nine. Cool.
[00:00:56] Speaker A: Who's eight? Oklahoma.
[00:00:58] Speaker B: That's correct.
[00:00:59] Speaker A: All right. Alabama one point. That's it.
[00:01:02] Speaker B: That's it. Rome.
[00:01:04] Speaker A: That's a pick. Them 41 over under. A little low, don't you think?
[00:01:10] Speaker B: Oklahoma's got a great defense.
[00:01:12] Speaker A: They do. They do.
By the way, real quick, what'd you guys think of the Heisman ceremony? I didn't even know it was happening. I totally forgot about it. This has been like one of the most underwhelming Heisman races in recent memory. And as much as like props like, you know, Mendoza, well, just deserving I guess. I feel like he won it because his team beat out the number one team in the country. He didn't play lights out, but more like a numbers guy playing the system.
[00:01:39] Speaker B: So who would you give him the Heisman to Rome?
[00:01:41] Speaker A: I would have given to the Nordames big man. That's just declare for the draft. I thought he was the most deserving player in college football this year. I would have liked him to see see him to come back so they can try to buy for national championships. And they got ripped off this year.
Although I did not think that they're the fifth best team in the country. Even though that's what the odds said. I did like them to make some noise and I think we. When we talked about at the beginning of the year, it was them I think I picked. Ole Miss was not anticipating Lane Kiff in the leave.
And then we had like somebody else. I. I don't remember have to go back on the pod, but.
And then Pavia.
Pavia is really interesting. Him cussing out the Heisman voters and all that stuff.
[00:02:22] Speaker B: I mean that's the only thing that's interesting about the whole Heisman thing. I think that's what you're getting to wrong because I did not see the ceremony. I just gave the middle finger to everybody.
[00:02:31] Speaker A: I Saw a clip. Yeah. And he's just looking a little too blingy, you know, looking like he's going to like some mafia nightclub. Like too many podcasts with like that one guy and, and doing the media rounds. I don't know.
I think the Heisman got it right though. At least picking Mendoza over Pavia.
But any thoughts on the Heisman?
[00:02:53] Speaker B: No.
I don't know.
[00:02:55] Speaker C: You said it was the most. What did you say on. You didn't know it was happening uninspiring? I mean, honestly, I haven't watched the Heisman thing in like 20 years, so. I mean, this ain't the good old days of the, the usc, you know, Texas time. Time when you had.
[00:03:08] Speaker A: That was a good old dance, huh?
[00:03:10] Speaker C: And bush and heliner and all that type of stuff. I mean, it's a foregone conclusion. The Heisman's decided on, hey, it's the best, best quarterback on the best team in the country and then boom, that's your Heisman winner. Like it's, it's not much more than that for the most part, beside what we get. Last year was probably one of the few exceptions where they gave it to Travis Hunter.
[00:03:27] Speaker A: But I forgot who won it last year already.
[00:03:31] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah, Hunter won it. Yeah, yeah.
[00:03:34] Speaker C: And I'll. And I'll be like. And I'll be. You talked about.
And I'll just say because I think Jeremiah Love was a worthy candidate too. But I had a, I had a friend who's a, you know, obviously a hater of my teams and stuff going like. If you compared Jeremiah Love stats versus Mama blanket on Boise State running back from last year.
[00:03:54] Speaker A: Oh, Jesse.
[00:03:55] Speaker C: Yeah, Genti stats were like crazy compared to Jeremiah Love stats and like. And he didn't win the Heisman.
[00:04:00] Speaker A: So just, you know, just, just years are different.
[00:04:03] Speaker B: Well, I mean, different genty would have won any other year except Hunter was just a two way player that was a basically good to start player on both sides of the ball. And college football hasn't had that a player like him really ever. At least maybe not since what, the 50s or 60s? So.
[00:04:21] Speaker A: Yeah. Yeah. All right, cool. I guess we'll move on. Alabama, Oklahoma. Aaron, break it down for us.
[00:04:28] Speaker B: Yeah, this is a rematch from a game of what about five weeks ago, which Oklahoma went into Alabama and won outright.
I like Oklahoma here.
Minus one to beat Alabama again. I mean, killing DeBoer obviously, if he loses his game, maybe the seat gets hotter. Maybe it feels a lot better and cooler going to Michigan. I know he's kind of denied Wanting to leave. But, you know, Alabama's a tough job. It's a tough gig. And if you lose this game, you know the fans are going to want you gone and they're going to welcome you open arms and they got a lot of money in Michigan and you've got nothing associated with what's going on over there. So I think Kellen De Boer, he's got an exit if he loses this game. Brit Venables, Oklahoma. That defense, I think, is a difference. I think they show up again, pit pressure on Simpson, Ty Simpson. I like the Sooners to advance, get to the second round and play Heisman winner Mendoza.
[00:05:23] Speaker A: Wow.
Jay.
[00:05:26] Speaker C: Yeah, the, the conversation around Galen De Boer and that Michigan job, you know, it just, it, I don't know. There's a lot, there's something there. You know, it's probably, I don't know, it seems like it. I mean, it could be just Aaron sounds like Jimmy Sexton working the phones or whatever to try to get him another raise. But yeah, Bama just, it's, it's tough for me to take out that SEC championship game out of the memory and how they look versus Georgia and overall.
[00:05:53] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:05:53] Speaker C: And overall down the stretch, you think of how their season started. Terrible. And it ended terrible. And they're in the playoff because they had a really good, successful run on, on, on a very tough schedule. And Bama was very impressive during that, that middle parts of the year. But, you know, Oklahoma just seemed to be like they were just lying in the weeds kind of, you know, you know, throughout the season, weren't really talked about because you had Texas A M, you had Georgia, and, you know, Ole Miss was making this run, you know, this drama with Lane Kiffin, and Oklahoma just kind of, you know, was quiet right there, you know, getting in the tournament. I, I, I'm with Aaron on this one. I take Oklahoma too.
[00:06:26] Speaker A: Yeah. I think we were all shocked with how good Oklahoma's quarterback played in beginning of the year. Then he gets hurt. He's supposed to be out for at least minimum five games. Comes back after two games. Right.
Looks like against Texas, which boosts up Texas profile. But then they kind of rebound nicely. They're kind of looking like the way they started the season off as like a. They're gonna have a really good team next year. Oklahoma is going to be a team, team to be reckoned with.
Alabama, tough beginning. You're right. Kind of stumbling towards the end. But to go through that gauntlet in the middle of the season, no one else had. They just had to peak too early, like that was like their championship. And unfortunately, you kind of need that to happen at the end of the season, not in the middle. I think that took a lot out of them just. Just to make it out of that, what, six, seven game stretch of five ranked teams having some pretty big wins, inking out stuff at home and on the road.
Any other team would have faltered, but yeah, Oklahoma, why not?
[00:07:23] Speaker B: I think you guys make a good case of the schedule. I mean, Alabama went through that gauntlet, but Oklahoma had a tough stretch too. What they had Texas, Alabama, Tennessee.
They went through that stretch, won those games outside of the Texas one material should not have been playing. He looked terrible in that game, really. Oklahoma, at a healthy units, only lost one game all year to lane kiffin and ole Miss.
So in bama, like Jason said, they just look beat up, they look tired. And then they had to go play in the sec game and get beat up. I know they've had two weeks, so maybe they're a little refreshed. I think Oklahoma. I think Bama starts strong and then fades and Oklahoma ends up catching them in the end to win this game.
[00:08:02] Speaker A: Yeah, fun stuff. Saturday games, we got three.
Any other bowl games that you liked or.
[00:08:09] Speaker B: No, I just went over the playoff games. Rome.
[00:08:12] Speaker A: All right, that's fair. That's fair, man. I. I know there was a bowl game on. On the other day and I just, you know, we used to be a proper country, man. I was like looking at the old logos of the bowl games. The fiesta bowl I've been to a few times for some other competitions as well. You know, all the logos, the gear, good stuff.
Now just everything's just playoff bull fodder. You know, just chuck it all.
Miami, Texas a. M. That was my rant for the day. Texas A and m favored by three points over under 48.
What's up with this?
[00:08:46] Speaker B: Yeah, you got the seven seed a M versus 10, Miami here. Rome, you know, the. I mean, these first two games, the Friday night one and Saturday morning, these are really the intriguing games Saturday as far as the playoffs concerned. We got a couple in the afternoon, but, you know, our attention I think would be more towards the NFL side of that Saturday afternoon slate of games.
[00:09:07] Speaker A: Oh, yeah, yeah, your guys came.
[00:09:08] Speaker B: Yeah, yeah. But you know, Miami, you know, did they deserve to get in the playoff? How are they going to show up? I mean, now they get a common opponent in Notre Dame and once they get Texas a M, differences are going on the field on the road.
Kyle Field here, gonna be110,000 screaming fans. I saw where Nick Saban said they, you know, sound is, you know, they add sound to the stadium there to make it sound louder than what it is.
But I think A and M's ready to ball out two teams very similar.
But A and M coming off that loss against Texas, I think with Marcel Reed, the versatility they get from him at quarterback and movement will be the difference. I think Carson Beck's going to struggle here on the road. I like A and M to win. I like him to win by at least a touchdown or more here.
[00:09:54] Speaker A: A&M's really interesting because they kind of had some bad games down the stretch as well going into the playoffs. A little tumble Miami, I don't know.
I don't know, Jason.
[00:10:08] Speaker C: Yeah, I just think, I mean, A M didn't have the toughest SEC schedule. I mean, Miami, I was high in the beginning of the year. You look from a talent perspective, they, they had one of the more talented teams in the acc, but you know, they, for all the playoff talk, they did have losses against some teams. Let you know, compared to A and M are a little bit more inferior opponents in the SEC that aren' kind of on this stage. And these are the games, I think early in the playoffs, these home field advantages, you know, I think really kind of come into play. You know, it's tough to win college games on the road during the regular season. I think we saw, you know, last year and what that home field advantage was for like Notre Dame and some of those other schools in the early rounds. But I think, you know, Texas A and M is always really vaunted. They got the 12th man thing going on there. I think this will be a huge, you know, big atmosphere that it's just going to be a lot for Miami. I think, you know, turnover, as you mentioned, Carson back, like, he, he's had some turnovers that were just been, you know, questionable throughout the season. I, I don't know if Miami can keep up with it. I take Texas A and M as well.
[00:11:07] Speaker A: We got Tulane and Ole Miss 46 and a half over under Tulane, heavy under dogs.
There was just some drama recently with the coach, but I didn't get a chance to catch up. Do you guys have like the scoop on that with Tane's head coach?
[00:11:27] Speaker B: Well, the one going to Florida.
[00:11:28] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:11:30] Speaker B: No.
[00:11:30] Speaker A: Okay, never mind.
Heard there's like, there's like a little discourse as well with him still coaching, even though Florida wants him there right away.
[00:11:38] Speaker B: But, well, he's, he's. He's coming. He's. He's coming. He's coming Saturday afternoon or Sunday morning because Tulane's done. I mean, Ole Miss. This is the third matchup in like, the last, what, 15 months between these two teams. I think Mississippi is just going to roll them.
I mean, Tulane's got nothing to play for. They made the playoff. Their coaches already out the door going to Florida, Mississippi. I think it's got a lot to prove. This is a game. They get a big win, show out without Lane Kiffin that they are still the team. Great matchup for them. They already beat Tulane. I believe it was like 48, 13 earlier in the year. I like Mississippi. Ole Miss to win and cover the 17 and a half year at home.
[00:12:18] Speaker A: Damn.
[00:12:20] Speaker C: Yeah. I mean, they already played this year. 45, 10, the beginning of the season.
Yeah. I mean, so. And they've already blown them out. I mean, any of anybody else playing Ole Miss, you'd think, like, oh, they lose their coach and things, but, you know, Tulane, same thing. Their coach is there, but even this is an entire transitional thing. The guy's probably already working on his recruiting stuff for, for his next gig. I mean, just.
[00:12:41] Speaker B: I.
[00:12:42] Speaker C: It's. It's just a weird.
This, this is the thing with the college football. We want to, you know, have the parody and bring these group of five, but this is an utter waste of a game.
[00:12:52] Speaker A: Utter waste. And I feel like. I think we talked about it. They could at least like, change some of these seatings around. Dude, we. We really didn't need to see a third iteration of Tulane versus Ole Miss, even without Lane Kiffin.
So I don't know. All right, James Madison plus 21 against Oregon Saturday night.
[00:13:13] Speaker B: Yes.
[00:13:14] Speaker A: Lovely.
I might cash this game. I'm really curious how James Madison does.
How about you?
[00:13:21] Speaker B: I think James Madison's gonna be down 21 points in the first quarter. Rome. All right, so I am taking Oregon -21. And I like Oregon to route win this game by double that spread. I think they were going to win by at least.
At least 35 points. Oregon wins. I think Oregon's getting healthy at the right time, setting up a great matchup. The next, you know, timeout against Texas Tech, Oregon rolls here at Austin Stadium.
[00:13:50] Speaker A: See, I hope that doesn't happen because it kind of defeats or kind of, you know, demerits the playoff a little bit. I want James Madison to be competitive.
[00:13:58] Speaker B: It'd be great if we get a good game, but I don't think James Madison is going to do what Boise State did last year. On the regular season and make this a game. We'll see. I mean, James Madison really their only tough opponent, you know, was Louisville. They lost that game by two scores earlier in the year.
So. But Oregon, you know, the only thing that worries me out Oregon, you know, we're talking about both their coordinators are gone or they're there, but they've took jobs somewhere else. One at Cal, up there in Berkeley, reviewer at Rome and the other guy as Will Stein is going to be the new coach at Kentucky.
But I. I just think Dan Lanning's gonna have these guys focus after what happened last year in their only playoff game against Ohio State in which they got blown out. I think Oregon's prepared, they're rested, they're healthy. They should route James Madison here. This would be my lock of the week as far as college football goes.
[00:14:49] Speaker A: Lock of the week.
[00:14:50] Speaker B: Love it.
[00:14:51] Speaker A: Jason.
[00:14:52] Speaker C: Yeah, I got a similar feeling on this game. It's almost like the committee or. I mean this will probably be the last, definitely the last time I think we get to group of five schools entering the playoff because I think they got like the power four got an auto bids next year for their four championships now. So we don't have this again. And then Notre Dame's got their little stipulation too. And so I don't know, it's almost like we're start legislating the. Get this. They started like they say we tried to include the group of five, but literally it's just a different game and we'll eventually be playing these guys out of the tournament. Like you have two massive blowouts probably in this game. I think Oregon blows James Madison out unfortunately too.
[00:15:29] Speaker A: What I would like to see eventually.
[00:15:30] Speaker B: With the playoffs, like and James Madison's coaches going to UCLA as well. Rome. So you got a lot of coaches that are already out the door.
[00:15:37] Speaker A: And I'm actually looking forward to that hire, man. So looking forward to it.
[00:15:40] Speaker B: Yeah, I think it's a good hire.
[00:15:43] Speaker A: Bruins up.
I would like to see in the playoff eventually where 16 teams, you have like your conference championships. Like you have your.
Everything's locked in. I wrote it down on a piece of paper one time and I. And I can't find it. But we should come up with like a. With like a scenario. But there's at least like two or three, like at large, like group of five or it could be like the fifth team from the sec, whatever it is.
But you really truly try to encapsulate, you know, maybe a wild card or two. But you try to capture as much of like the 12 best teams in the country as possible. I think that that's pretty fair. It gives some of the schools a chance to make what they make guaranteed in the first round. 10 million dollar bonus from the TVs or is it 20 million? I can't remember something like that.
[00:16:29] Speaker C: Rome. But I think if you get, if you get into what you're saying, this was the same conversation of going this to 12. Like if we get to. They had no chance of getting in the four. Okay, now we're giving them the chance because we go to 12.
[00:16:38] Speaker A: I know, I know.
[00:16:40] Speaker C: I think no matter what, you're going to be complaining about this. I mean, the playoffs, one thing, the bigger thing is the regular season schedules for some of these teams too.
[00:16:47] Speaker A: There's just no point of having conference championships. They were going to have six people for the SEC playing in it. You know, just get rid of it all.
[00:16:54] Speaker C: Yeah, I mean that's been long take, I'll say that forever. It's a lot of people saying the conference championship game is just a waste of time. You just need to straight up, you know, you put your schedule out there. That's where it is. They're looking at resumes. There's no just bonus game for conference championships. It's like, it's just, you go right into the playoff at that point, you know, in that, in that week versus what we're doing. If you're going to whittle things down. But I'm sure they'll get there. You know, you got to think of where we've been in the last 20 years, from the BCS down to the four teams now to the 12 teams and it just get iteration over iteration. I think that the college conference expansion, we'll talk more of that will be the, the key because eventually you're going to start adding more teams. As Aaron and I have talked about with, you know, we start taking away stuff for the SEC and then maybe then you're down to three conferences basically.
[00:17:44] Speaker B: Yeah, I mean we all know, I mean the ACC is going to break apart or at least the big teams in there being Clemson.
Go ahead. Okay. Yeah. So like I said, clips clicked on.
[00:17:54] Speaker A: The wrong Twitter link.
[00:17:55] Speaker B: Yeah, Clemson, yeah, obviously Rome. I don't know what you're watching over there, but we'll be off in a few minutes and get back to that. But you know, Clemson, Florida State, Miami, like Duke, North Carolina, all those teams are going to get out of the ACC here pretty soon. And given how the ACC's really just botched the whole conference championship, pinning Duke in. I mean, it just makes more sense to get out of it now than ever. They can't even get something that simple that would have had Miami already in the playoff, would have had Notre Dame, and we would not have to watch James Madison be down 350 midway through the second quarter, which we're going to see Saturday night.
You know, conference championship games agree, they can go away, but you know, commissioners and everybody going to have to agree to that because right now it's just funneling money to neutral sites. So they're going to have to, you know, figure out how they're going to do that.
And like I, you know, maybe like you said Rome, maybe instead of having conference championship games, we add in wild card championship playoff games for teams to get into the field of 12 or 6 16th, that'd be more entertaining, but we'll see how it goes. I mean, college football landscape is changing year to year. It's getting wild. Nil, conference expansion. Do we get a super league?
Like Jason said, we're probably going to have just three power leagues. And then is it going to be group of six, group of nobodies? I don't know. We'll find out.
[00:19:11] Speaker A: You know, Koshal is kind of perfect, like to model it after like the premier leagues, you know, like regulation, all that stuff. There's always changeover. But you can go on like a little run, climb up the ranks, go for a championship. You suck for a few years, you get demoted. Like, let's say like Alabama, right? They went through like a 20 year run where they just sucked. They would have to start all over from the beginning, you know, with Saban. But to see that kind of happening, like, I feel like out of all the sports, college football is perfect to kind of copy that model of what the European leagues are doing.
[00:19:44] Speaker C: I've always thought, I've always thought baseball could do it too.
[00:19:47] Speaker A: But baseball, why baseball?
[00:19:50] Speaker C: I mean, you have the same minor league, you know, situation the way, if you look at the way European soccer team, it's like small, you know, small, you know, ballparks like that. But I don't think that will ever happen in American sports because there's no tradition in it. And it is about money.
If anything. You had the super league in soccer a while back of, of just. They want the guaranteed money. They don't want anyone else having the shot. I have my brand. This is my brand. I'm not doing that. You'll get the same from these college stuff, like Alabama and these schools ain't sharing money to give James Madison a chance to play their way up. To get. To get to plays.
[00:20:27] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah.
[00:20:29] Speaker B: I mean, they're not, they're not. Yeah, they're not going to share nil revenue. But if you have boosters that are willing, you know, I mean, I'm sure James Madison has a booster out there that's worth 100 plus million somewhere that could donate 5 million here and there.
[00:20:44] Speaker C: Yeah, it's a good thought. Rome. I like relegation. I'm like, I'm not the biggest soccer fan, but, like, soccer's overall structure I think is great.
[00:20:51] Speaker A: Cool.
[00:20:52] Speaker C: It is cool. I think it's good. But I mean. But then again, that is about money too, because if you look at some of the top teams in the English Premier League, it's, hey, who got bought by like, you know, the Qatari government or something like that. And then like, you just have all of these wealthy investors that took this team for no history and now they're on the top of the epl.
[00:21:12] Speaker A: Oh, every time there's a team that gets, you know, deregulated, like, there's always like a lawsuit, you know, coming after it. There was a team that was supposed to move up this past year and they can't because of like some lawsuits happening. It's kind of bullshit. But.
[00:21:24] Speaker B: Well, that's why, that's why you have to put a group of five team in the playoffs because of litigation and lawsuits they would get, they get sued. If you basically said you were a small nobody, you don't deserve to play with the big boys. Okay, well, I'll just sue you.
[00:21:39] Speaker A: I think Joe Clatt said that on, on the radio is straight out and kind of caught everyone by guard, off guard with that.
[00:21:45] Speaker C: It's, it's just real because you're thinking about, you know, there's a lot of antitrust liar stuff, exemptions with the government and stuff. And yeah, you'll get lawsuits. And you know, you think about like some of the competition stuff with some of the leagues or they get exceptions of the monopoly stuff, you know, know, it's all, it's all legally stuff that you're getting to these points.
[00:22:05] Speaker B: Yeah, I think eventually, I mean, I, I would say this Boise State obviously got into the playoff last year, but I thought Boise State was a worthy top 12 team regardless if they were power 5 or group of 5. I thought they were a top 12 college team last year.
[00:22:19] Speaker A: Agree.
[00:22:20] Speaker B: Rome, like your point, saying, like, I want the 12 best in. If it is a group of five and they have two or three, then great. But this year I don't think any of the group of five belongs in the top 12. If we were just doing the top 12 college football teams.
[00:22:33] Speaker A: Well, yeah, well that's, that's what I think. You know, there's just like already like four, you know, at large and just have the rules there, you know, like, however that, that looks like it could kind of change from year to year because it could be Boise State and, and another team, you know, it could be more. I, I don't know.
[00:22:50] Speaker C: It'll just be tough to get the resume like you're gonna need. Like you look at Boise's resume, like they took the number one team in the nation that went undefeated to the limit and then they went, they won all the remaining games like they had the strong resume that they competed in that thing. So like it'll be tough to replicate that resume on like somebody else because that, that loss to Oregon kept Boise State and even remember they had some close games in the Mountain west that people would have been shrugging their fingers like they would have lost. It would have been, it would have been more questions about that resume. So I mean that's, there was a little bit of a lightning in bottle with Boise State that, you know, like Tulane got two losses and you know where James Madison was at. Like you, these group of five things won't be as clear cut as Boise State was the entire season last year.
[00:23:34] Speaker B: Yeah, the issue too, like Jason touched on is scheduling. Like do you want to go out and play a group of five team knowing that their schedule, conference wise is weak and yours is tough? Like if you're Alabama, would you want to go play at James Madison? Or if you pit Citadel on your schedule and beat him by 50 knowing you have to play Georgia, Texas, Texas A and M, Oklahoma all in a five week stretch? Like playing James Madison and then having to pay them money to play them?
It makes no sense.
[00:24:05] Speaker C: I'll say. Rome, you mentioned another rule saying my thing is that it should be, it should be not allowed that FBS schools should be able to schedule anything below the fbs.
[00:24:15] Speaker A: I agree.
[00:24:16] Speaker C: You shouldn't be able to play Georgia East, Southwest, Eastern Georgia State or whatever like that. Like you know that that should be because the SEC schools get, get away with that like way too much with their three, all their three non conferences.
[00:24:28] Speaker B: I believe, I believe that's gone now since these conferences are going to nine games. So I believe all that FBS is down is done now.
[00:24:36] Speaker A: I'll believe when I see it.
[00:24:37] Speaker C: I don't know, man. I feel like they got, they got nine games and now it'll be two. It'll still be two teams still on that stuff. So I, I just, I know.
[00:24:44] Speaker B: I think the Big Ten, you schedule with the nine conference schedule, three power conference or group of five teams. So there. I think at least the Big Ten has gotten rid of it. The sec.
We'll see.
[00:24:58] Speaker A: SEC likes. Good cupcake, dude.
[00:25:00] Speaker B: I mean look at Florida State's got a couple next year on this schedule. So I already got two wins I marked down.
[00:25:06] Speaker C: I mean, I'll, I'll, I, I don't never say Notre Dame's got the toughest schedule in there, but they only schedule FBS schools. Like they aren't scheduling any of these ses. But they might be after this year. They may have to because no one wants to play Notre Dame apparently now. So.
[00:25:20] Speaker A: Yeah.
Who is that team that beat them last year?
[00:25:24] Speaker C: Northern Illinois.
[00:25:26] Speaker A: There you go.
[00:25:26] Speaker C: Okay, but they're fbs. They're in the Mac, man. They're doing action.
[00:25:31] Speaker A: That's right. I, I just never keep up with the maxion these Tuesday nights.
[00:25:36] Speaker B: That's not Tuesday nights on espn. Remember the Mac used to always be on Tuesday nights.
[00:25:40] Speaker A: Yeah.
Final comments for the playoffs, I think.
[00:25:44] Speaker C: Atmosphere wise, these are, these are the games you're kind of excited for. I mean, I think I get probably that Texas A M game will be. Will be pretty interesting just, you know, at what Kyle Field would be like.
You know, thinking back to what last year at Notre Dame and, and I think that Ohio State, Tennessee game and how cool that was. So I think it's going to be a good round, at least for two of those games. Unfortunately for Tulane and James Madison and I don't think it's going to be the best showing. But looking forward to the other two.
[00:26:15] Speaker B: Yeah, I agree. Friday night, Norman, Oklahoma going to be wild. Then 9am Saturday, Kyle Field at the College Station there in Texas going to be a great game. I believe.
Again I'm writing of all home teams to get a clean sweep and if they do, I think the second round of this playoff for the matchups that are out there. But it comes true. We're gonna have some good second round matchups.
[00:26:38] Speaker A: Nice. Looking forward to it. That's it.
[00:26:40] Speaker B: That's it.
All right.
[00:26:44] Speaker A: Looking forward to recapping it.
I was gonna say something else, but I totally forgot.
I don't know if I should have coffee or just take a quick nap right now.
[00:26:54] Speaker B: I think you should just go to bed. Rome if you're complaining about four hours of sleep only it's called showers and call it a night. And then you can start fresh at.
[00:27:02] Speaker A: Like 7am it's been too many four hour nights.
Starting to catch up. All right, cool. That'll do it. For the source of the sofa.
I'll try to push out at least this college football section right away on YouTube and everything. All together before the weekend.
Catch us next time we're out.
