A
You'Re not showing a whole lot of personality because you have the veil of football in front of your face you.
C
Allow the player and the people we have on the bus to kind of control their story and find ways to celebrate them and their success we have somebody very close to us we had a massive milestone last night live in front of the world and it was josh pate with the goal of getting to five hundred k subscribers he hit it live last night during his show and we have found a way to celebrate the boy bring out the balloons.
A
Bring out the balloons look at that.
That is special man that kind of.
B
Says five hundred k that's amazing dude possibly the nicest thing anyone's ever done for me the i do balloon is hilarious is this lead based paint anchoring.
A
The balloons has to be we know you're an old school guy there's a.
C
Couple zeros in there the five hundred.
B
K there we go yeah because that's just fifty which you still respect it but five hundred a little bit better hey hoops to the thunk it hoops.
A
To the thunk it very quickly i was told to pass along the message.
C
That the ring the i do is.
A
You accepting the role of commissioner of.
B
College football so that's official now it's official it's official we have the power on this show we have the power.
A
We don't have the power on the show you have the power on the show we have the power we because we are your right hand men right and left hand men also have the power on the show that's what the foxhole is all about you come in you go you do as you please but as long as you're in it at the right time you're the guy.
C
I tell you what it's starting to it's starting to seep in there a little bit more coach coach mcguire headed.
B
To the big twelve championship game but what's on his mind future commissioner of.
C
College future commissioner of college hey did.
A
You text him about that like how did no he just randomly was in a press conference and was like let me just shout out josh paper yeah.
B
Like his sid hit me up and said joey just said this which to me means you guys are just sitting around you know between practice out there and he said that it wasn't until an hour later one of my buddies said hey cool shout out in mcguire's press conference and i said say what now and then i go and watch and i'm just clapping in my car at the ymca i just took the caffeine water elbows are getting a little itchy adrenaline's flowing and yeah so first coach but probably not the last coach like now it's you don't want to be first but you don't want to be third so like who's going to be second to publicly use their platform to do the responsible thing yeah and.
A
The big thing is is they're probably going to win the big twelve championship so now you have the big twelve championship winner claiming josh pate is the commissioner of college football now we need legit just two more dominoes to fall big ten at sec that's it we get those that you've done just completely.
B
Dismissed the acc yeah not even there.
A
At this point i mean based on this college football bracket right are we all kind of dismissing the acc i.
C
Am you were done this year you.
A
Denounced the acc for twenty twenty five.
C
Season i don't denounce i think the only resume that's worth talking about is.
A
Miami'S but even then is it worth talking about because my thing my whole.
C
Thing last night did you watch his.
A
Show last night i watched part of it but my daughter she was on a swing she hit the back of her head it's a whole story wow well the one clan's not having a good time on half of november because.
C
He'S on he's on his platform saying miami has to be in over notre.
B
Dame over notre dame notre dame there.
A
Are photos oh yeah notre dame notre dame beat oh sorry miami beat notre dame so yes i agree with you.
B
Careful it's not that simple it's not as simple as i'm speaking sarcastically of course you're right because you know you play the game on the field and you're thinking to yourself hey man if the resumes are like remotely comparable and we've played shouldn't i get the edge and then the notre dame calculator heads come in and like whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa there's so much more you need to know and you would sit there and listen to all that it would take like an hour and then you would go well that just made my head spin but still they played on the same field right yes and august obviously they're comparable because they're ranked right next to each other right they would just sit there with their mouth open and you would say okay miami over notre dame really people overthink the room on this stuff because they have too much time to sit around and think it really doesn't have to be that complicated it can be if we didn't play but if you and i played and then our resumes look similar like what a disservice to head to head results to try and speak over them like one of the big talking points i get it if i were a notre dame fan i'd be fighting to get my team in i understand that yeah one of the talking points has been well yeah head to head does matter it is a data point but it's not the only data point the committee needs to look at everything they are but the data points don't have to be weighted equally like if i got a head to head result and i beat you on the field and then everything else is kind of shades of gray the most common sense viewpoint in the world like my sister could walk in and say okay well let's just put the head to head winner over the head to head loser it really is that simple yeah that's why she wins the march madness bracket every year she doesn't overthink the room and in this case you don't have to overthink the room on this you got a result on the field and you should honor it well.
C
The way it started is what is it notre dame comes out at eight miami's at eighteen like i'm with you when when notre dame started zero two you look at the rest of their schedule and the majority of college football fans is like notre dame's out there's no way we all know that they're probably going to sneak in somehow but there's no way they start off zero two against miami who was ranked eight at the time and then you lose.
B
To texas a and m and we.
C
Talked about it who's in it again collectively four points of these two teams and you're sitting there and you look at miami and you are fired up for miami because they were a top three team at one point and all miami has to do is handle their simple acc schedule and could lose a game yes and could lose one game but they lost two games like if.
A
You look at miami smu in louisville.
C
Yeah it's like you go look at miami like just go handle your acc schedule which is the worst power four conference this year they played against their when they played cross conference against big twelve teams acc went one in six versus big twelve teams like by far and away the acc is the worst conference this year of the power four and all you got to do is go handle your acc schedule not including a schedule that doesn't include virginia nor duke who's both in the acc championship georgia tech who is like a front runner in the acc until they kind of pissed down their leg there at the end but those three teams were on their schedule it was smu pitt and louisville and they lost to smu and louisville and their overtime which one came first was it it was louisville first and then they lost to smu and they lose right there at the end of october or right at the beginning of november to smu and ot after losing to a very average louisville team in the acc to where when you lost the first one you went from three ranking down to ten not that bad of a drop but then when you lose to smu who was six and three at the time in the acc who lost a baylor who had lost the tcu who had had some crossover against other conferences you lose the smu and then you drop to what was it like eighteen twenty like notre dame after they lost their first two weeks they dropped all the way to twenty four and it's not like they were making leapfrogs bounds up to the top ten like incrementally they climbed throughout the rest of the season because they skunked everybody that they were playing a heavier acc schedule i believe there.
A
Was a stat as well notre dame was the first team in the modern era to go start zero two and still be in the top twenty five is that a correct stat possibly i wouldn't know so i think they started.
C
Yeah i believe they dropped all the way to twenty four but again you look at miami who is a good football team i wanted like when miami started off the way they did it's like it would be great miami make this run but when they get in these moments and miami becomes miami and carson beck becomes carson beck they lost two games in a very average acc schedule that they should have easily been able to handle and they hurt their self doing that to where then when the college football playoff rankings open up on day one and you could say that's where it sucked that's where it was kind of tough for miami to get in the conversation but miami started at eighteen when the cfp rankings came out after again their second loss to smu so coming off a loss they get ranked at eighteen notre dame gets ranked in the top ten so you're incrementally putting them closer together to where now they can be side by side but you kind of the whole system gets messed up if you're sitting there and it's like you just make a decision hey we're going to put miami in over notre dame like i agree miami has this head to head win but the head to head win the only playoff caliber team miami has faced is notre dame and it came at the very end of august against a freshman quarterback who had his first career start at home on your home turf in miami and you beat him by three it came down to the last three minutes of the game so the way notre dame's played the progress that they made the way that they've been beating every team by double digits carr has clearly gotten better offensive lines gotten better defense has been much better and opportunistic down the stretch their back half a ball and jeremiah love since that since that third week he's looked like this heisman winner or this heisman candidate that we all you know you bet it on to be the heisman guy before the season but he is clearly debatably arguably the best player in college football and they have momentum with marcus freeman a coach who again they lost in northern illinois last year early but where did they end up at the end of the year the national championship so we're sitting here looking at the college football playoffs and who would have the best chance to go get a national title it's it's kind of hard for me to say yeah miami should very easily without a doubt no debate should be in over notre dame versus because of what miami did to themselves during the season in an acc schedule and the acc sucks this year yeah.
B
My my retort to that is i would pick notre dame to beat miami today i was just so so like no one needs to convince me they think notre dame is the better team.
C
Favored by five and a half yeah.
B
Like i'm telling you this is a guy i'm a guy who believes miami should be over notre dame and i'm going to grant you several points the acc sucks this year check it's inexcusable miami lost those two games no excuse for it check i think notre dame's a better team than miami check all right so the first two points those are already baked into my opinion they were already baked in even going into this weekend or this this last yet last night when the rankings were released you knew the acc not you the committee knew the acc sucked the committee knew that miami had two losses all that's already baked into the pie going into last night and they're ranked within one spot of each other right okay so that's the current state of affairs then the other part of it is all right the eyeball test which i think has carried the day for notre dame so far like i truly believe what's what's happened is they have gotten those people in that room and there are enough people who just flat out say what all three of us just said we kind of just think notre dame's the better team to where that's carried today that's see sawed heavier than the head to head result has see sawed the difference in me i think in a lot of people on that committee is i don't care about the eyeball test that includes my eyeball test cause we've done this show every week this year right have any of us gone close to perfect have we even.
A
Had we all did last week four.
C
And one you came close to a.
B
Perfect week last week but even you went four and one right which means no one's football acumen no one's predictive nature is flawless so if you could ever screw up judging a game predictably why would i value your eyeball test or my eyeball test when we've got critical data and metrics that we predefined that are on a piece of paper now you're right that they can't play this weekend neither of those teams can play this weekend so look none of this is logic we're applying logic to an illogical situation already because that's just the nature of the college football structure.
C
Of the playoff is better but i.
B
Understand someone driving around right now or someone just hanging out and they're watching the show and they're thinking all right even having said all that word salad if both of these teams are ranked where they are neither of them play this weekend how could one ever jump the other one and the answer is it shouldn't happen the answer part b is miami should have already been ahead of notre dame in my opinion but part c is i think it can still happen because of the acc doomsday scenario that we have telegraphed on this show for like a month we've been talking about this as a possibility but we're here now seven and five duke could win the acc saturday i hope so and if they do they're not going to the playoff because they won't be one of the five highest ranked conference champs so you'll have the sec's champ the big ten's champ the big twelve's champ you'll get two g five s in there and then it'll just be up to seven more spots for at large teams and i believe if brigham young loses that big twelve championship game i think they would remove themselves from being the last remaining team between notre dame and miami and i think that would just put notre dame and miami head to head on selection sunday and the committee would have to look at that if duke wins the acc championship game the committee would have to look at that and say well we either put miami in or we don't put an acc team in and i don't really care like you're right the acc's hot garbage it's terrible this year this system was not built to lock out power four conferences it was not built to exclude an entire power conference at the expense of having multiple g five teams in just not the way it was built it's an atm and it's built to spit money a certain way it's unpopular to say but that's the reality of it i think that committee could take another hard look at notre dame miami given light of that new situation and at the eleventh hour jump miami and if you think that's impossible hunter jurecheck has largely been a train wreck the playoff committee chair when he explains this stuff but one thing rhys davis pinned him down on last night is could idle teams move could there be movement between idle teams the final conference championship weekend and he said yes they can move he refused to say that the rankings for teams that aren't playing this weekend are fixed so they moved bama up ahead of notre dame last night so notre dame got one spot closer to miami if brigham young loses and they're nearly a two touchdown underdog if they lose that's the last remaining team between notre dame and miami at which point on selection sunday those two will be right next to each other and you're telling me that the head to head result with teams that comparable is not going to push miami over the finish line i believe.
C
It would it could i mean how much is like money and ratings and.
B
That should that doesn't matter you're telling.
C
Me that matters you don't think any of the money matters that's original brand like notre dame out of the keep it a brand like notre dame out of the playoff when they started at eight like their system yeah their system notre dame started at eight they've been in the playoff the whole time and you're going to say the way that they've been beating everybody handedly that they're slowly just going to trickle out and then they're just going to be out of the college football playoff remember this.
B
This past weekend it's not like nothing happened this past weekend okay notre dame's demolition of pitt a few weeks ago that was a really big talking point like that really boosted notre dame's resume remember that's a ranked versus ranky didn't.
A
Care about that game though yeah dude.
B
Game days up there like that's that's all well and good and you go beat him i think thirty seven to fifteen or something like that all right so the committee really said man that's that's great for notre dame which it was miami just went and beat the same pit team in the same building by moore i didn't even hear anyone mention it last night it's almost like it didn't even happen so i'm not saying that should be i mean you.
C
Know miami has the data they were up like it's like i want to say they were up and they're still throwing the ball deep in the dude.
B
Did you watch notre dame trying to.
C
Get trying to get this point at.
A
This point in the season you need to make that point if you're miami like sitting where they're sitting at notre.
B
Dame did the same thing against stanford they should you got to run it up it's not disrespectful to the game it's respecting the system or acknowledging the system i just think it would be.
C
Bizarre again notre dame being ranked eight it would the way that they've mopped everybody throughout the rest of the year since these rankings come out weekly that they've just crept out and now they're out of the college football yeah it'd.
B
Be inexcusable to try and explain it because there will be no explanation and your sin was you probably had miami too low to begin with like bumping them down to fifteen would be okay because you could still make the argument if notre dame's eight in miami's fifteen on that tuesday night you could say the head to head doesn't matter yet cause they're not close enough they're not in the same comparative pool we haven't had the chance to apply the head to head and then when miami creeps up closer finally like the light clicks on and you're in the same comparative pool and the head to head matters and that's when miami jumps notre dame they didn't do that so if my theory is correct they're going to have to do it after both of their seasons have already been completed for over a week and then imagine trying to.
C
Explain that i know and too it's like across the college football landscape fans players coaches everybody when is the best time to lose early early in the year yeah and notre dame they get collectively four points to a good a and m team a good miami team.
A
They have one and they've done nothing.
C
But take care of business since whereas like i'm rooting for miami but you lose those two games in the acc bro and then i'm wanting to watch both teams like in the college football playoff i want to believe in the talent and crystal ball which by the way you know paid's had crystal ball like he's tight in he's tied in.
A
With crystal ball he's got the numbers he's got the numbers you need to have to be tied into the crystal.
C
Ball yeah i don't see a photo with freeman post game to where they're kind of talking shop a little bit yeah yeah yeah but it's like i just think a coach freeman like it's like carson beck carlson beck like him in the big moment on the big stage do we really think miami's going to do some damage based on what.
A
We'Ve seen based on his season in the biggest moment the biggest stage he actually did answer that question it's when the they went behind the closed doors and they had to play the shitty acc schedule they're like i know a couple times because the biggest was notre dame in the beginning of the year and ever had the questions of carson beckham was it carson beck problem or was george the problem carson beck and carson beck came out there and lit.
B
Up notre dame he became the heisman favorite for a little while yeah and.
C
Then crazy then you play louisville on cj carr those four picks against louisville.
B
Well hey so you want to play the game that's what i'm saying that's.
A
That will that's in a different room that's the lights are off that's like.
B
That'S practice field right that's practice field.
A
That'S not stadium we're talking about the lights are on it is week zero week one and we're all so excited look at this matchup we have this resurgence of a rivalry between miami and notre dame and these two guys coming out of it a freshman and carson beck who's trying to resurrect his career like last year was a heisman i think he was a front runner last year right yeah he comes into miami and dices up notre dame while everybody's watching and then nobody's watching and he fucks up it's like does that really matter that much so you put him back on the big stage and we've already had him on the big stage is he not just going to do it again because i'm willing to say i think if we sat here we went notre dame miami if notre dame or sorry miami can find their way to get up in a game those defensive ends eat that offensive line yet again because that's not just hey the offensive line's gotten better look how much better look at the talent they've played against yeah and then it's like you're going to sleep if you're the left tackle and right tackle and you're dreaming about those guys you're like oh shit i got to see them again i thought they were a thing of the past i thought i never could touch them again now all of a sudden you're going to see them in a neutral field where the same shit is.
B
Going to happen can i also say one thing all right the louisville smu losses i don't have to try and defend that to make miami's case like i think i can bake those losses into the pie and still make the pie presentable enough people talk about all unranked losses like they're the same thing like you could lose to akron who's number one hundred thirty or lose to louisville who's number twenty eight people just talk about them like they're the same losses they're not the same losses like louisville and smu are not elite teams they're not terrible teams they're just okay teams yeah so when you lose to them yeah like it ought to have the impact on your resume that losing to an okay team would have both of them it's not we lost to like ungodly terrible teams we were four touchdown favorites or anything like that and the other thing is what i'm about to say i don't believe should matter but the committee uses it all the time so i could weaponize their logic against them you want to start talking about specific injuries and and what teams were at one point well isaac brown who's the best player on louisville's team tailback was still healthy when they played miami then he got hurt and they fell off down the stretch which makes their record look worse they were ranked when miami played them and they were probably a ranked caliber team when miami played them again i don't believe in this logic i'm just saying since the committee disingenuously uses this kind of logic i feel free to use it so.
A
You'Re saying that the committee used the logic of when these teams played they were ranked there for here's what the.
B
Committee does the committee does not actually decide the rankings a computer does the committee then slaps their name on it and they go on tv and like reverse engineer logic to excuse away or explain rankings that they themselves are not responsible for and the reason i know that to be true is because we're in coaching season right now so we're in coaching search mode and florida and auburn and lsu and ole miss penn state like they've all been wrapped up in this stuff you can go on twitter every ten minutes and hit refresh and get new leaked information about coaching search isn't the best and you just sit there and wonder like wow so much of this information comes out and these athletic directors they're involved in that process and all the information leaks yet you're putting athletic directors in a room to decide the rankings and no information about the process ever leaks do you ever wonder how that's strange and how information from something that should be way more highly classified does leak like a coaching search but when it comes to twelve or thirteen of you in a room where you're allegedly hot like hot headedly debating the rankings dude on tv last night said man the notre dame alabama debate was intense the fourth down oh dude it was so intense why don't those details ever come out no details ever come out it's cause they're lying to you and a computer spits that stuff out and and then they just kind of slapped their name on the side of it and then they have to go on tv and try and explain the rankings process but they didn't really take part in it that's how you get this garbage like well you know alabama they were up seventeen to nothing at one point versus auburn yeah but they were also tied at one point versus auburn later in the game yeah they ran the ball okay plus it's a rivalry game boy that that coordinator really made a ballsy call on fourth down these are not data points this is just minutiae this is stuff you say it's like when your mom just was too tired to take you to the park when you were growing up and she said mommy's got a lot of stuff to do tonight she didn't have anything to do she just didn't want to take you to the park she could have just told you we're not going to the park because i don't feel like it the committee could just say these are the rankings because we say these are the rankings but instead it's so much stuff that doesn't matter that shouldn't matter it's so incongruent logically you could take whatever he said last night about alabama and i could twist that frame of logic to excuse away anything i could put texas at number seven but somehow some way using the bent logic that hunter jureczyk and not just him but like all of the committee chairs have used in the past so to say i have a little bit of an issue with the process would be accurate yeah.
C
I think if miami gets in just more of a case where the power of the future college football commissioner would be alive and well miami all of a sudden gets in after he releases his clip and stance on miami getting.
B
In over notre dame hey i'm not a notre dame should join a conference guy i don't care what they do i agree i'd fine with them either way however this is one of the first times they may have to pay a price for not being in a conference if they were in a conference title game saturday we're probably in because i think alabama's in regardless because they're playing in a conference title game notre dame would probably be in regardless miami would probably have to sit at home because you'd be sitting here talking about notre dame earning the right to play in the game you get that extra data point like win a conference and you're in of course but i think even losing a conference title game especially a big one like the big ten or the sec that earned you a little bit of a bump in the committee's mind yeah i think last year.
A
When the or whenever the twelve team playoff came out it was like hey this five and six slot that's kind of notre dame's forever right because they get to live in this independent world but one thing you brought up with the committee and using old games when teams were ranked so like a team played a team that was ranked at that time now they're no longer ranked that's a reason why this team should be bumped up higher if that is logic that the committee is using why isn't vanderbilt in then because they don't apply it evenly but that yeah because the logic that the committee would have just said then vanderbilt has four top twenty five wins and one top ten yep and they're ten and two that's.
B
Cause they selectively apply it yeah and.
A
So i'm looking at the thing last night and i understand the miami notre dame argument that's not near as interesting to me as like why is vanderbilt sitting behind texas and everybody's answer is well texas beat vanderbilt but texas is nine and three right vanderbilt is ten and two in a conference that you've said is the most stacked middle pack conference of all time or at this.
C
Point yeah i do think the sec.
A
Has the most depth they have the most depth they've gone through the sec they've won the sec they beat missouri when missouri was ranked and college game day was there they beat south carolina when they were eleventh in the entire country at that time it was going off of the skill players they had coming back and the run they had last year and so at that point i think we all viewed south carolina as a possible contender in the sec so why is vanderbilt being hurt and put at fourteen when i think they should be in and i think it's not in so much of the miami and notre dame argument it's more of like that's where this g five thing i keep coming back to it and i'm like these guys yeah no matter.
C
What i'd love to see all these teams just be in a playoff so you can watch a play you put.
A
Vanderbilt against the tulane of the north texas or all these other g five teams it's like put them in their.
B
Conference just put vandy in their leagues yeah you don't have to have them head to head for all that for all i care put vandy in the acc like vandy's running the acc right now and they're a top four lock.
A
Yeah top four they're they're undefeated eleven.
B
And one probably do the same thing in the big twelve to be honest this year probably it's them and texas tech in the big twelve by a fairly good margin yeah i mean yeah.
A
Texas tech to me is just there's texas tech and then there's the rest of the league gap and everybody else.
C
The hard part is when you're sitting there arguing like texas vandy texas did beat vandy vandy was coming back but that could have easily been a blowout by texas they also lost to alabama.
A
The logic of it could have been a blowout like we're not we're sitting there and texas goes as this big lead everyone's like vandy cannot come from behind they're not built that way the first quarter there's tweets going out saying this game is over that was fun it was cool to it was exciting to talk about vandy for a little bit vandy comes back and at one point we're sitting there watching an onside kick for them to kind of recover but yo they might actually do this.
B
Judge the football game for the four quarters that it is right you have.
A
To judge the entire game because you can't just say hey they went out to this massively and it wasn't alabama.
B
Up seventeen yeah that's how dumb it is to say well they were up.
C
Seventeen the same thing against mississippi state coming back from and then texas they.
A
Run the wire with kentucky and mississippi state like you're saying it's like well if that's a factor then we should put that in also if with the.
C
Depths the depth of the sec conference because i do think it is the deepest conference this year now at the end of the year you look at vanderbilt's resume they beat one one top half sec team only one team in the top eight and it was mizzou with zollers a third string quarterback everybody else when they had their shot against bama and texas they lost so if you're sitting there looking at all the sec teams because how many how many are in there right now four.
Alabama.
B
Georgia ole miss oklahoma yeah four four.
C
Alabama yeah so you got four teams in there couldn't that same logic be.
A
Said about a and m yeah but.
C
A and m has one loss so when we're sitting there picking the game last week and you're kind of looking at who a and m's face all their wins have been against bottom half teams they're finally playing a top half team in the sec but a and m was undefeated now it's like you have the entire resume of vanderbilt and if you're putting it against miami notre dame and then texas is in the conversation if you just look at vanderbilt as a whole as a ten and two team because i think it sucks a ten and two sec team is going to be on the outside they're going to get screwed they're not going to get in the college football playoff but if you do look at their resume as a whole they beat one top half sec team and it was missouri and it was zollers as a.
B
Third string see you're never going to you're never going to sell me on the fact that going to neyland stadium and beating tennessee last week is not a top half sec win that is a that's a big time win tennessee.
C
They ended up in the bottom half.
A
That'S just will and i are arguing the same points a different way the same way you were saying you could you could misconstrue everything the guy said to put texas at seven you're saying look at their look at their wins they only had one top twenty five win and it was missouri blah blah or one top ten win no not.
C
Not yeah yeah but i see what.
A
You'Re saying i'm looking at the schedule of where do we sit in week one where we had south carolina missouri all these other teams were sitting in top fifteen or above top twenty and above and they played those teams when they were ranked in that position because at the time the whole world viewed them as that way i personally think there needs to be more weight put on that like you look at a south carolina win now no disrespect jp but it doesn't hold a whole lot of weight back then when it play when they played it was a massive.
B
This is like the oregon eleven south.
A
Carolina versus vanderbilt their first true test are they really going to get it done are they really contenders in the sec they won that game everyone's like holy shit vanderbilt man look at them now south carolina had the things that happened to them injuries happened throughout the season the running back from louisville but i look at how did everything start how did everybody kind of view these teams from a top twenty five standpoint and when they played when they played did they have a number next to their name if they did that counts.
B
For something extremely holistically i've always been a huge proponent of what you're saying of defining the value of a game and a win or loss at the.
A
Time it happens absolutely because if injury.
B
Go ahead but also how can i how do i not know that the vandy result started the precipitous decline of south carolina season like i can't prove that but you can't prove it didn't happen yeah so i may be like i'm being punished my strength of schedule could be getting punished because i beat teams just like oregon oregon goes and beats penn state penn state falls off a cliff well penn state's not falling off a cliff if the oregon loss.
A
Doesn'T happen they still have a top.
B
Twenty five roster yes it's evidence of how they played against indiana but oregon's getting punished because of what they did to penn state so like with exceptions i'm always going to say there are exceptions to this rule with a few exceptions i've always been a fan of defining that and that does mean that you may play south carolina in week four and i may play him in week eleven and we both beat him by the same score but you get more credit for it than i do that may mean that i think that's okay it could mean that right because.
A
Things happen things take place that's what makes football so amazing the thing that starts in week one is never the same in week fourteen that's what makes.
B
It awesome i think we solved everything.
A
I don't think we solve we we're just talking circles talking circles i know we don't get to this game the.
C
Last it's going to be nuts we get the two g five scenario in.
A
I kind of hope it happens a.
B
Couple of seventeen plus points just so.
A
We can all be mad yeah at.
C
The end of the day we're just we're just angry that these that these teams were arguing about arguing for like just handle your business right when you're expected to handle your business because if.
A
This happens we have the g five teams in and and the option for us to fly even with josh and go to oregon versus some g five team just to watch oregon mop them i'm going to be sitting in our room being like guys we got to go to oregon to watch this bloodbath get with the atlantic have a little good time and just sip some wine.
B
Probably in the second half yeah probably.
A
Leave yeah at halftime but that was.
B
Great great playoff game you're really trending right now towards having two first round games really if you think about it yeah look at all the projections you've got two you got like notre dame texas a and m you got oklahoma bama and then you've got two games where the spread will be close to three touchdowns which is insane yeah smu.
A
Penn state from last year teams at home last thing before we get in this board then we'll go quickly but penn state coaching search are we still am i still waiting on a call.
C
Hey and congrats to byu i know.
A
We'Re keeping their boy there sure i mean that's big for byu keeping their.
C
Guy in there just from my understanding of the timeline and everything else shout out liam bluntman i was following very.
A
Closely yeah dude he seemed like he had a little dialed in a little.
C
Bit it seemed like it was right there they were at the goal line with getting him to penn state and then byu gets their boy they push the team meeting they're all at his house they're all talking into it money's coming elsewhere from these companies what is.
B
It crumble yes crumble cookies crumble cookies.
C
Crumble cookies crumble byu for byu like big dogs coming in the room with the blessing of the church coming in the room throwing out massive contracts with.
B
The blessing of the church yeah with.
C
The blessing of the church he went.
B
Crumble cookies went more american primeval on pen yeah than american primeval itself then.
A
Literally crumble cookies stock after that if you watch american primeval and then you look at crumble cookies you're gonna be.
B
Like that's like the modern day version.
A
Yeah exactly they're scalped they scalp penn.
B
State spoiler alert but yeah yeah yeah.
C
Yeah do you have any clue what's.
B
Going on with penn state they don't how could i they don't i've spoken my piece on matt campbell apparently they're not targeting him but then again they don't know who they are targeting it.
C
Was brian hartline at one point in time but which by the way from the public maybe not from the that would have been easy ucf now it's.
B
A real dereliction of duty i think by the athletic director up there i don't know if he's going to have his job much longer and you guys have never heard me call for someone's job because i don't really do that but i don't know how like this is a really it's not an elite job it's not michigan it's not ohio state it's not oregon but dude this is still the penn state job you can't convince me that this thing's been turned down this much just because the job's not good it's because of who's running the coaching search and if you can't run a successful football coaching search number one you don't deserve your job as an ad number two don't fire your playoff caliber coach before you have a pretty good idea of who you could go get to replace yeah so to answer your question yeah keep your phone close the call could come you've got experience in the big ten i.
A
Do you know i would you know several coaches immediately and no way i'll be a nittany line oh so you're out to my boy mitch no but you're out i'm out no amount of.
B
Money and then that story hasn't been.
A
Told publicly yep i have declined the penn state job i haven't heard anything from my sources what's going on or if my source even has a job anymore yeah low key though mitch fuck.
C
Your source right hey is everything good up north.
A
I i really don't know at this point me saying anything would just be feeding into twitter sphere there you go there's allegations there's allegedly a lot of allegedly is being thrown around in the michigan world right now it's more exciting to look at and just if you just separate if i separate myself from being an alumni someone that played there and i can just sit back and kind of watch the chaos in the shoes that you kind of do that's where i find more enjoyment if i go i'm like this does not seem it seems more scary than.

B
Strategy that's the strategy six and a.
F
Half.
A
Yeah i'll take the whiskers i got whispers over here take the over give me the over and that's the kind of stuff you're getting on the show the hard hitting facts i don't care about this game at all so.
C
It doesn't leave us i know i know clump is excited about this he when he posted the games he's like we finally get to talk about drew mestamaker drew mestemaker better than zollers yeah better than zoller you know you know.
A
Will didn't care too much because he's looking at his phone about it three.
C
Eight hundred yards he would have just perceptions never started a game at quarterback.
B
In high school oh yeah yeah i remember that dude he was not a.
F
Starting quarterback on his high school football.
B
Team and now he is one of.
C
And now he's a freshman.
Starting quarterback for north texas yep he's a red shirt freshman yes that's amazing i think.
B
He played in their bowl game last year i think is how that worked because kublick that's team five baby yeah i remember this g five baby i.
A
Didn'T listen to anything i saw a group text from darlovsky and i so.
C
Drew drew messamaker didn't play quarterback at all in high school he was a backup and now he's a starting quarterback a redshirt freshman he's a freshman for north texas and so i'm saying that's g five baby he's been slinging the rock i'm saying good for him that's pretty crazy he didn't play quarterback in high school didn't play quarterback shows up.
A
To north texas and they're like hey retrofree we don't this is chad powers we don't got a quarterback we need a guy and he's just like i can throw it a little bit like you he is chad powers this guy is chad powers all this is telling.
B
Me is i could have played quarterback.
C
At a group power five or a.
B
Group of five school you know your.
A
Problem is mitch keep talking to him you matured too late wow i feel it no no that's not even like.
C
If you missed the money window if.
A
You were you now at like seventeen eighteen buddy you're g five yeah you're g five and you're mad at me watching the locker room be like this don't respect us one hundred and you're right yeah you're right in the figurative imaginative thought process you are correct give.
C
Me the over.
Give me the over i won't go to safari to type in the search bar i'll just click on the espn app and just see what scores are for the games and.
A
If i even see too i'll go on the espn that's what i do too i have espn app too top twenty five only two lane alabama georgia.
C
Oh shit oh hang on twenty twenty.
A
Five that's happened so many times to me dude me and technology huh break.
C
This one down for us brother don't.
B
Don'T break it down i really did pull in this i'd rather spend more.
A
Time talking about the penn state coaching.
B
Service yeah we're good so this is going to be really quick time me twenty seconds i pulled in this morning and thought to myself both coaches are on the way out i think that disproportionately impacts defensive staffs and therefore i don't think there's a total high enough where i wouldn't take the over and i did not know that you guys were going with the over but i will take the over with you so it's an overtrain i have a live show friday night in the middle of this game there's zero chance i can watch it either so i'll just have.
A
If you didn't have a lot you would watch it yeah yeah you yeah.
C
Yeah yeah you twenty one seconds so.
B
That went over therefore the total goes.
A
Over there we go yeah yeah also speaking of driving into places thoughts and prayers with kathleen onward duke virginia virginia.
C
Favored in this game by three and a half points there's duke again just keeping the line close like they have all year long the over under on this game fifty seven and a half the acc championship which we've already talked.
A
About that power four power not power four it was a power three and they're kind of puttering in the distance.
B
Power two and a half yeah yeah you know this game happened this this game was a blowout already a few weeks ago like a few weeks ago virginia played duke virginia was virginia lost the turnover battle and still blew them out the fact that this number is what it is blows my mind then i pull up the model the other day and the model has duke winning the game outright and the model is for the life of me like i don't i don't get it i don't know i don't know i don't know but i'm taking duke to win the game so the acc doomsday scenario not only is it me sort of wish casting the model backs me up on this as duke winning outright is it.
C
Three and a half yes three and.
B
A half yeah i'm taking money line i'm taking duke give me the line taking money lines take duke plus points but i will take duke to win the game outright as well i have.
C
I'Ll do moneyline.
Give me duke moneyline.
A
On this show i've brought up duke on two separate occasions they were favored against illinois and one other time as my i took illinois as my dog and georgia tech i was right both of those times betting against duke this is my first time betting for duke i'm taking duke plus the points i'll be sprinkling that money line though but for the sake of the show and my standings and me being scared i'll just take i'll just take duke plus three and a half hey hard hitting on those first two games boys huh.
C
Hard to beat a team twice hard.
A
To beat a team twice hard to beat a team twice michelob ultra right superior's worth playing for we've been doing the swap pursuit thing it started to be like it started to be fun now it's getting serious what's the record right now mitch or klump is it's eight seven i'm leading eight to seven so this is an opportunity for me to get up two or will they even sell are you prepared yeah.
C
Rock paper scissors shoot rock paper scissors shoot.

A
Next game american primeval byu kept their coach versus texas tech who want josh pate to be the commissioner of college football texas tech favored by one hundred twelve according to my sheet do you guys have the same thing what oh.
B
It probably means twelve and a half.
A
Yeah no no way they're favored by one hundred and twelve according to the.
C
Sheet so texas tech favored by twelve and a half he odds on that minus one hundred twelve oof twelve and a half yeah yeah twelve and a half byu got the plus one got.
A
You and then the total points that game was forty nine and a half american primeval it always comes back to that this team has been on our show more than i think any of.
B
Us expected we are a byu show.
A
We have become a byu show now i'm not going as far as crumble.
B
Cookie yeah we grossly mischaracterize everything about the program everything about the culture everything about the church but you know we.
A
Are yeah we do nothing but the blessing of the church nasty work on on that and i'm going to continue to do it joey mcguire that high flying offense that incredible defense what is it rodriguez the linebacker jacob rodriguez jacob.
C
Rodriguez through pick last week probably why.
A
He'S out of the heisman race yeah i'm going to take i'll take them minus twelve and a half this is going to be a three touchdown blowout win this is putting this is the before like when i was at michigan the first couple of years with rich rodriguez every friday night we do our team meetings we have our meal we have clam chowder that had this historic like famous clam chowder that all the players would come back to get you can only get it when you're a player at the campus inn then after that we would sit and watch a movie it'd be gladiator friday night lights those types of things before this game texas tech is playing the entire series of american primeval and they win this game by twenty eight points or they're.
B
Terrified and no they don't even show.
A
Up two options i'm going to take the one where they bow up fight.
C
Or flight byu got a better shot this time around could we see some.
B
More chaos model loves brigham young i have no idea why i have no idea why where's the model at on byu it has texas tech winning by eight like it thinks it's a huge cover probability edge for brigham young this.
A
Is one that you look at and you're like oh i bet this game.
B
I wouldn't i don't i don't agree with the model that means i just don't bet it okay a swing like.
C
That that's like that's like ramen noodle.
B
Express yeah it would be how do you flip so brigham young's got to flip something that happened the first time around they had sixty rushing yards total first time around they were minus three turnovers brigham young's got to run the ball they got to win turnover battle that's how they've done it all year i do think they're playing their best ball like i really really respect what they did to utah but what they did to cincinnati was more impressive what they did to tcu at home to me was more impressive and they just.
C
Got incredible news they sure did reaction when their coaches stay in so you.
B
Got to ride that that revenge wave you got to ride the our coaches staying wave boys we win we're in you can't so these are the paper poppers texas tech in the first half their top three points per game first half top two pass yards per game first half number one in explosive passes in the first half they did that against them last time too but the thing about it is for everyone who tries to find a way for brigham young to win this game like oh man if they just even up the turnover battle texas tech settled for five field goals in this thing too three of them were inside the red zone so i look at twenty nine to seven the first time around i was at that game just not a close game not really a competitive game but i was thinking to myself leaving this actually could have been so much worse so for every like progression to the mean that you expect from brigham young there's also still a little catapult opportunity for texas tech to play their best ball they didn't even play their best ball that day i have i don't i don't know what the models see so i'm going to take texas tech i'll actually lay the points with the.
C
Blessing of the church i'm going to go byu wow really yes he hasn't.
A
Seen american primeval no he hasn't no.
B
Still in the queue i haven't seen.
A
Animal house either that by the way was a serious problem for the whole entire thing we know which has become.
C
A very serious issue yeah yeah we.
A
Did a thing i are we allowed to say what it was fanduel we did we shot a fanduel commercial they're.
C
Updating the commercial with fanduel we got to do some fun stuff yesterday in the shop production set up everything here it always comes back and we were.
A
Doing a bit and will had to wear a shirt that said college football right or playoff football something like that and it was a scene from bluto and animal house of him trying to charge up the boys to take down the school after they get expelled and the director is trying to explain to him and i got to stop the director i'm like hey will do you know what he's trying to reference right now and he just has the same look he has on his face right here but his mouth was just a.
C
Little bit more yeah you know what that shirt represents big state.
And i.
A
Go guys he hasn't seen animal house the whole production crew stops in their tracks mouths wide open the director goes and types in youtube the scene so will can watch it to get some sort of inspiration to understand kind of.
C
What we're doing before this commercial he goes have you looked at the script at all i was like no he's like all right this this shouldn't be too bad and then they explained the whole blue like the bluto animal the scene of everything and i'm kind of.
A
Just standing there yeah was it over when the germans bombed pearl harbor at that scene right there and i kind.
C
Of just let's go yeah yeah i gotcha that's good the joke about that is x y and z yeah yeah.
A
The joke but the yeah japan bomb pearl harbor was the joke so things.
C
And i'm kind of just standing there oh yeah so this ain't penn state.
A
Yeah so we had to sit there for through a six minute youtube video of all of us kind of just waiting looking at our phones awkwardly while will watches a youtube video for him to get the premise of what this commercial is going to be and then hey you killed you killed it after that dude i thought you were phenomenal to see yeah he had to be bluto and that was a lot of.
B
Dialogue for him can i be honest go ahead i have absolutely no clue what we were talking about absolutely no idea have you seen animal house i've seen it i have no idea where we were before that came up somehow.
C
With the blessing of the church i'm going byu plus twelve and a half.
B
Yeah yeah the house is in eugene.
A
I got a thing yeah oh tell.
C
Them about that will that's what i'm saying it always comes back to animal house we're out there at oregon and taylor's like oh this is the place this is where it was shot he's like will do you know what we're talking about i was like no it's like animal house yeah they go this scene was here will do you know what i'm talking about no no i.
A
Made will jp me jp and garrett we had maybe the best walk of all time huh like got around those trees that was incredible we're going this walk will meets up with us and i essentially make all of us walk to this area where a scene was shot at animal house on the steps and i go hey boys look at it garrett's in awe he's obviously moved jp's in awe it's like they're taking photos this is awesome and i'm like will you get it just like where.
B
Are we at no we meeting somebody.
A
It'S like taking someone to the it's like taking someone to the grand canyon them just being like oh it's a hole and you're like all right it's supposed to be beautiful is this the business school right yeah and then obviously the fraternity but no clue where we.
C
Were before that no idea how we.
B
Got there either what's the chaos that.
F
Like that would happen if byu were.
B
To win this game oh don't say that it'd be bad this is notre dame's worst nightmare both like pretty much.
C
Everybody in the like i know we.
B
Talked about miami notre dame earlier today but even if miami doesn't jump notre dame we are sitting less than twenty four hours removed from the committee bumping alabama up above notre dame to me that signifies bama's not dropping no matter what happens saturday nor should they so notre dame sitting there at number ten if brigham young loses like they're you know allegedly supposed to do and miami doesn't jump notre dame like notre dame's good they're in but if brigham young wins they're not taking texas tech out so two g five s and two big twelve s would be in at that point well the two g five s is contingent on the acc doomsday don't concern yourself with the g five the point is if brigham young wins this thing you got to find spots that you didn't think you needed to find and then you look at who's number ten right now because that's the cut line and it's notre dame and they probably drop out like this thing comes down to in that scenario brigham young notre dame it's not brigham young alabama it never was going to be it's brigham young notre dame i have.
C
Enough respect for the big twelve this year that i wouldn't i wouldn't see it as we got two g five and two big twelve you would see.
B
It as two g five texas tech and a big twelve is probably what you would see yeah that's what i would see yeah yeah texas tech's like.
C
An independent they've worsened their again the acc it just they gotta they gotta they gotta just cut the cord man.
B
Wow you just don't want them to.
C
Exist this year no no no no not don't exist but again it's like this conference they and you compare them against who you would relate them to is the big twelve again big twelve is six and one against the acc this year so acc is closer to the g five than they are the.

A
You think the guy who had delete his own twitter because of what you two did to him he's gonna find out or he's just giving up all.
B
Football i think it's really safe to say he's tuning into chris fowler and kirk herbstreet yeah i think it's really safe to say he's checking out the.
A
Abc feed i i see him with basic cable and i see him thumbing through old school with a clicker and then it pops espn two and it's your face and it's both of you like cut screen three pieces and the game's going in the middle and you two are talking and he just sees it for a moment yeah he's jesse and his heart rate goes to one hundred twenty just as quickly as he.
B
Can he's jesse breaking bad he's he can't keep getting away with this he screams at the air yeah yeah yeah hate it for him love it for.
C
Us though love it for the audience you want to tune in and watch watch us cover a game the sec championship from a different perspective our very first time doing it who knows how it's going to go i'm sure it'll be a little bumpy at times no doubt but this crew will figure it out right well iphone one break josh.
A
Paid call on the game going to be great yeah are we going to.
C
We'Re trying to we're trying to figure out what the wardrobe is going to be i asked that question in the production call they're like you can wear whatever you want because you know my.
A
Move is going to be probably the same jeans i'm wearing right now in a black t shirt if they're if we don't decide anything but if we want to go wranglers with some sort of sec get up in a cowboy hat which i know you hate hats.
B
Yeah well the other thing to think.
C
About is i'm trying to picture another.
B
Thing to think about i like to.
A
Fix your hand with a flannel t shirt too buttoned down to heel you.
B
Can picture me however you want i.
A
Will i do it in a lot.
B
Of ways this is an indoors game like we're indoors right now it is early december it is cold you wear the t shirt and you gotta yeah.
A
And buddy is it not freezing in here i got a hoodie on dude.
B
It is so cold when we started doing the show in week one in late august it was rough it was it was right exactly and now we're leaning forward i know we should have.
A
A little fire next time can we.
B
Build a fire why not call mike call mike yeah yeah see if we.
A
Can get a fire going yeah but.
C
Let'S pick this sec championship and see where our bias lies oh yeah yeah.
B
Yeah let's hit the game garrett would.
A
You like to speak alabama's won one what georgia's one and seven kirby is.
B
One in seven kirby is one and.
A
Seven against alabama ten of the last eleven sc champions were and will be.
B
Eleven of the last twelve because math.
A
And both these teams are in it.
B
Stats and info fair enough.
C
Yeah another big game for the tide earned our spot here it's a place we've been.
B
Before obviously as you guys just said.
C
My biggest thing with this weekend is that you guys are going to watch the tide in the sec.
And i'm not so that hurts but i'm gonna find my own way there so i will see you guys there roll time.
A
So garrett just took an opportunity to get on the mic to kind of be like you guys aren't taking me.
C
Yeah that's exactly what that was.
A
Do.
C
We do we take garrett i think we got to see what we can.
A
Do we gotta give him at least give him a ride down we have.
C
To make that effort give him a.
A
Ride down there for a good effort we talked about it yesterday i thought that was a no brainer.
No doubt and i'm bad about that is bama.
C
Going to be able to pull off two in a row here on georgia it might be like watching bama they've had a they went through a big time schedule they've earned the right to be here they're going to stay in the college football playoff unless in some world it's like fifty five to seven and they just get blown out and then you kind of have to consider hey does bama fall out of the playoff after that ass beating i see them getting in the playoff about ninety nine percent of the time but they've kind of like limped their way to this finish line the way they they've been winning their games but they haven't been winning in a fashion to where you kind of see ty simpson it.
A
Hasn'T been this it's been high and.
C
Tight but again the story with ty simpson is you're just barely missing on those deep balls is that going to continue are they going to beat georgia for a second time in a row georgia team that's been playing spicy as of late that's been putting the the foot on the gas and looking like a team that's can be in my opinion the team that would compete with ohio state for a national championship does bama beat him twice it's going to be hard to beat to beat georgia.
B
Twice so progression regression to the mean in a rematch matters a lot bama thirteen of nineteen on third down first time they played in athens georgia was like two of eight both of those teams are top thirty on third down just in general bama huge edge that day these are two huge like premier coaching staffs bama pretty huge edge that day georgia's pass rush did not get to ty simpson the entire night zero sacks and not only that didn't really even affect him all that much havoc rate been spiking for georgia these last few weeks is that their saturday the two biggest game breaking opportunities one for both teams is the wide receiver group for alabama is jeremy bernard it's isaiah horton seventeen lots of brooks has come on as of late ryan williams has been a ghost and can't really get a straight answer about where he's been the deep ball thing is huge like they barely miss him if they hit him that fundamentally changes things for alabama they let auburn break two huge explosive yards after catch plays on them last week zachariah branch is more explosive than any player auburn has so that's where it could break for georgia i also remember bama secondary sort of throttling down georgia a little bit georgia ran it for over two hundred and i expect him to have a fair amount of success running the ball again but georgia center is probably out for this game both teams badly banged up but georgia center being out how does it affect snaps how does it affect run fits flow in the run game collapse in the pocket tim keenan was injured and just coming back for this georgia game the first time around playing like a stud now and so not only is he like a two gapper type but he can also really collapse the pocket gives him a decent interior pass rush against a redshirt freshman center the injury situation is probably going to matter as much in this game as any championship game we see saturday i am fundamentally of the opinion that it's extremely hard to beat a team twice in the same year especially when that team is staffed and personneled like georgia's the model likes georgia i have literally no lean in the game so just because of the computer i'll lean georgia it's two and a half right is it still two and a half all right i'll lay those points no confidence in that pick though going to be a great.
C
Game over under forty seven and a half again again we're going to be we're going to be covering this game.
A
What are we calling the game i was having the same thought when he was breaking it down i was like dude we even pick a team do.
B
We want to do the herb street.
A
Just do we want to stay completely biased in this entire thing yeah over.
C
Forty seven and a half it's like when these two teams play unbiased when these two teams play i expect a physical football game for whatever reason when these two uniforms are out there it's going to be the sec championship i think it's going to be two physical teams going at it i like the over in this game if i had to pick and see how this game is going to unfold i picture the state of georgia everybody at home just barking at the tv because georgia's going.
A
To pull off a win i say the georgia thing too i'm going to take you took the under do the over over i'm going to take the over as well i would like to.
C
See excitement i like everyone loves rooting.
A
For points in these games we want something exciting high flying i see alabama through the air maybe making a couple of those connections that you're talking about that haven't happened as of recent georgia on the other hand i see them running the ball very effectively especially going to stockton having an extra blocker in there getting that done redshirt freshman center is a bit of alarming but i like georgia getting themselves in third manageables overall i see a lot of points having this game i'm gonna go the.
C
Over as well all right great breakdown boys and it's gonna be fun you.
B
Think that was a great breakdown just.
A
Wait till wait till saturday espn two.
C
Espn two you want to have fun.
A
With the boys game of the week true classic game of the week yeah.
C
Every saturday's got games but only one fits just right this is true classics game of the week the big ten.
A
Championship we have this episode to bring you true classic dude you can find true classic on amazon and costco sam's club and target nationwide or online at trueclassic dot com bussin listen i wear the pants every single day i got that pima t shirt on grab the shoulders your boy during gout i haven't touched a weight in over a month all right i look at myself in the mirror and i'm like what the hell is this i put the pima t shirt on it grabs a little bit more i'm like hey maybe it's not as bad as you think when the shirt's off that's because of true classic look good feel good play good.
C
Kurt signetti versus ryan day indiana ohio state ohio state favorite in this game by four and a half points the over under on this game is forty seven and a half.
A
I feel like.
C
Four and a half is light it's.
B
Very light it's extremely impressive that on a neutral field anyone can be within five points just point spread wise of ohio state but especially especially a non traditional non top ten recruiting type team like indiana like that's a such a monumental statement before the game kicks off ryan day best friend of yours now.
Shines in these moments but so does kurt signetti we saw him go on the road to oregon earlier this year like that game changed things in my mind because last year signetti and indiana went to ohio state they got blown out and they went in the playoff and they got beat by notre dame and it kind of it kind of fulfilled a lot of the preconceived ideas that they're mainly a product of an inferior schedule whatever this year they look way different to me i think they're a legitimate top five team but you don't have to wonder they went to oregon and owned oregon and then they've shined the rest of the way so if they can control somewhat the explosivity of ohio state's offense they got a shot to win the game they do have to have a little bit more balance it'll easily be the most balanced offense like the most toolboxy kind of offense that ohio state seen so far this year that doesn't mean ohio state's incapable of stopping them it just means it's a different test for ohio state but so much can go right for them they can control tempo they can be converting third downs they could be tilting field position in their favor if you're just hitting jeremiah smith for eighty if you're hitting carnell tate for sixty eight it doesn't matter because those explosives you could win time of possession two to one you could run twice as many plays as ohio state it doesn't matter it just means they're scoring quick so you got to control that to have a shot it's a real big test of will's game because both of them have looked pretty unstoppable it's the beauty of conference championship saturday i just ride with ohio state in these kind of moments until further notice as we documented last saturday morning very late in.
A
The morning yeah oh we're gonna bring.
B
That up yeah i gotta ride with ohio state and lay the points i'm.
C
Taking ohio state minus four and a half two i just dude i think this defense is so good and even if even indiana being able to move the ball they'll be able to i'm excited to watch fernando mendoza because he's kind of in a heisman spotlight right here like right now i feel like diego pavia in my opinion is the front runner the guy who should be the heisman winner this year but fernando mendoza is going to be in a huge moment this weekend against the best defense in the country in ohio state i'm excited to see if they'll be able to turn three into seven because i just believe in ohio state's defense so much they're savvy patricia he's got all those guys all these aliens playing with a higher iq they're very situationally aware they're one of the best in the red zone at keeping teams out of the end zone i just i think ohio state has too much i think they'll be able to score they'll be able to get seven compared to indiana who will be able to move the ball at times but i think they'll have to settle for three a lot so i'm taking ohio state minus.
B
Four and a half not a lot of mobility in fernando mendoza's game has to win it with his arm he threw for two hundred fifteen against oregon two hundred thirty three against iowa i'm of the opinion he has to do better than that to beat ohio state are you in agreement with that yes and if he does he probably wins.
C
The heisman if he's thrown for what three hundred and gets what two touchdowns zero interceptions i think that would be yeah i think that would be enough.
A
I know who my heisman winner is and he's out of the playoffs justice haynes yep yeah absolutely oh really no diego papa that's my heismer i was like listen the thing matt patricia is the biggest game changer that ohio state's had obviously the d coordinator goes to penn state bad bad move by him brian hartlund he gets elevated as the oc but the thing that makes mapatrushes so difficult he obviously has a lot of talent on the field every game he has a rolodex of different defenses and different coverages that he can give you that it's going to take indiana a quarter two quarters to really figure out what they're doing and then by that time it's halftime adjustments so the thing you might have figured out now matt patricia comes out in the second half with a completely different look in disguise of what's going on so he has the ability to keep an offense in a blender for all four quarters i had to lose a friend this weekend i had to watch my team who's won four in a row get brutally demolished in a completely uncompetitive game i had to watch a kid that we spent ten million dollars getting throw the ball five times in the first half would have been a different game if we married through a little more i don't know i'm not here to say but that defense is pretty impressive julian sand he's throwing routes on air and it's not his fault he is he's got the two best wide receivers and all of college football maybe jeremiah smith is the best player in all of college football i spent all last year after michigan had the biggest upset in columbus winning thirteen to ten i spent every single game of the playoff saying this is when ohio state falls they're not going to get it and they just went on a tear and at this point ma' am they're sixteen zero since the last time they play they play michigan and columbus i'll take ohio state minus four and a half.
C
And not to mention you got to see him in a little bit of adversity for a minute against michigan julian saying coming out that first series throwing a pick throwing a bad pick and.
A
Then bouncing back ohio state spent more time down in the michigan ohio state game than they did the entire football season which is just insane i think they spent one minute being down the entire year before that michigan video game michigan drives the field does really good running the ball kicks three we get an interception on the first throw of the game ryan they said in our show i'm thinking it we're about to do this shit again hold him for three it's you know after that it's.
C
Over yeah and again just talking more about coach patricia we played against a matt patricia defense where we've been sitting in that we've sat in there with variable we sat in there with any anytime you're listening to a coach speak from an offensive perspective going against a matt patricia defense it's always they take away your best weapon like your best tools that's what they focus on defensively because to your point mendoza not being very mobile in the pocket front seven is always going to think we have to stop the run in every game that happens right so when you're able to dial things in on third down and play with that level of iq that coach patricia is going to have that defense ready for that to me is where they're able to squeeze indiana.
A
A lot of those conversations too they take place when you're playing against matt patricia when he was at the patriots is if you're in an offensive meeting they're sitting there going hey this is kind of every defense that they've run this year based on our skill set this is what we think we're we're going to have to run but we won't know until the game starts of what they're coming out after the first series we can kind of make adjustments from there but expect these three or four kind of defensive schemes that matt petrus has run in the past to kind of stop our bread and butter is what we're able to do and that's where you put indiana in a massive deficit because they have to wait till after the game starts to figure out what their game plan is and that's what puts ohio state right like.
C
If somebody's highly targeted on third down you're going to assume matt petrus is going to take this away so how are we going to win on the other side in this situation and then.
A
There'S four d chess where he now he doesn't take that away and he's messed up your entire game plan so it's better just kind of a wait and see moment for them in indianapolis like hey we got to find out what they're doing and then adjust from there and that takes a lot for kirkcinetti and his staff to kind of decipher and figure out from the get go yeah ohio state man those sons of bitches good for them is it though dude the only thing that's changed for me is i i i truly.
B
Respect ryan day you lost me as a friend and gained ryan day no is that not crazy you said you love that guy nope it was sea bass and dumb and dumber he walks up to your table you threw the salt shaker at him and then he called you out and he hawked on your burger and you caved i watched.
A
That'S fucking bullshit i watched that's a bullshit no here's what happened dude i said all these crazy things and ryan day who denied us ohio state denied us what was it sunday sunday there's no time for ryan day to make it on bus with the boys ryan day also has issues with pat mcafee allegedly pat was very vocal about that ryan day in the middle season goes on pat mcafee show why fucking victory laps so what did he do when i was taking a piss and ryan nolan came up and said hey will ryan day twenty minutes at eleven thirty can you do that and will goes thumbs up yeah it's like yeah he's taking a victory lap and so what am i going to do double down hey you're still not a leader of men even though you won a national championship and you just beat michigan who's beaten you four years in a row i'm going to find something to pull out of the ether no dude i hate ohio state but my god he's proven me wrong in everything i've said he was born on third base but he's elevated his team he's still home he walked into ann arbor michigan the bakehouse in front of one hundred fifteen thousand people and smiled as he walked down the tunnel and then beat our ass so what can you say other than you gotta win with humility and lose with humility hey coach day i said a lot of bad things about you you shut my ass up congratulations.

Episode: Josh Pate Picks Conference Championship Games, Talks CFP Rankings With Will Compton & Taylor Lewan
Date: December 3, 2025
Guests: Josh Pate (college football analyst)
In this lively episode, hosts Will Compton and Taylor Lewan are joined by college football analyst Josh Pate to break down conference championship weekend and the College Football Playoff (CFP) rankings. The trio dives deep into current playoff debates, makes picks for each championship game, and unpacks the intricacies and drama behind this year’s selection process. The show is filled with classic locker room banter, inside jokes, and a major announcement: the Boys will be hosting an alternate broadcast (altcast) for the SEC Championship on ESPN2.
Debate context: Miami beat Notre Dame head-to-head but is ranked lower in CFP rankings.
“The committee could just say these are the rankings because we say so. Instead it’s so much stuff that doesn’t matter that shouldn’t matter. It’s so incongruent logically …” — Josh Pate [26:12]
“If you played South Carolina when they were ranked, it has to count for something. Define the value of a win at the time it happens.” — Josh Pate [34:18]
“Coach Day, I said a lot of bad things about you. You shut my ass up. Congratulations.” — Taylor Lewan [82:27]
The Boys bring classic, loose locker room energy with plenty of inside jokes and personal stories; Josh Pate provides thoughtful analysis, color, and humor.
