(upbeat music) (upbeat music) - Unprecedented energy in the building here on this Sunday night November 8th, the year of our Lord, 2026 Jampec, high atop an anticipatory downtown Nashville, Tennessee. We're live as live can be. Do you see this, Jesse? We're three subscribers away from 600K. We almost hit it right on the dot at the top of the hour, so if two of you out there now, you could find it in your heart to hit the subscribe button. Boom, we can go right past. We did it, we did it. Shut up everyone, I have something I'd like to read. This show is not built on internal joy, excuse me. It is built on internal joy, not external applause. This win is for our staff members. The workers here, the leaders, the admin, all of the people inside these walls. I said before this show, I'm the right person for this show. Okay, and as long as these people know that, that's all I care about. I appreciate being part of this university, Pate State University, and all it does. I appreciate our kids, Bradley, Pres, Mitch, even Jesse. And I'm gonna continue to fight on 'cause that's what being afraid is all about. Adios. Thank you. Week 10. What a week it was. This show's not all about subscribers. After all, it's about college football. I looked at yesterday and I said, I think I learned some things yesterday. I think I know some things now. I'm gonna talk about that. We got a jam-packed show. We've got the AP poll to react to. We have got college football playoff predictions that I need to overhaul. I mean, what do I, I can't have Ohio State anywhere near this thing? I'm more likely to have Oregon near this thing than I am Ohio State now. Is Georgia the preemptive favorite to win it all? Is Notre Dame gonna get a first round by Jesse? These are the questions the public is asking. All of that plus a first for the Sarah McLaughlin Special on the show tonight. I was conflicted. I could not decide. So frankly, sometimes, I don't know what the plural of Sarah McLaughlin Special is, but we're gonna figure that out during this show tonight. They're watching us in Albany, Georgia. Outsiders call it Albany. Tucson, Arizona. Mount Lebanon, Pennsylvania. Mill Creek, Utah. I wrote sub, but I don't need to say it anymore. We hit 600,000. No, we're not gonna be like Georgia. Going to Ole Miss yesterday. We gotta be like Kirby afterwards. We can't get complacent. You know what happens. Humility is only one week away. So the road to 700 K begins now. But in the meantime, Jesse has to decide. Piercing tattoo, humiliation, ritual, live on air. What is he gonna do? 'Cause we have to deliver. We as a people have to decide what celebration we want. Now that we hit 600 K. Oh, so happy. What a way to start the show. Noted name beat Miami last night. 31 to 24. The game was presented by Jimmy John's. The pickle which available right now. JimmyJohn's.com, Jimmy John's out. Prez, you had one the other night. Did you, you know, you just had a pickle key chain that Jimmy John's gave away. Anyway, great live show we had Friday night in South Bend. So I'm gonna give this game three and a half chalai. Do you realize what we were close to? I didn't see anyone say this. I was thinking it though. So back in 1988, right? Yeah, back in 1988, that was the Catholics Convex game. That was when Miami goes up there. Jimmy Johnson versus Lou Holtz. And Miami's down 31, 24. And they score. And then Jimmy Johnson decides to go for two. And they don't get it. And they lose 31 to 30. And there we were last night. It's 31, 24. It's the same two teams. It's the same building. Only problem is Miami didn't have enough time to drive and try and win the game. So good on Notre Dame for locking it down. But I'll always have to ask myself. Self, if Mario had the opportunity, was he gonna pull the Jimmy Johnson and go for two? 'Cause you know, you are allowed over time these days, whereas you would have had to settle for the tie back then. So that was 38 years ago. No such luck last night. Notre Dame just wins the game in regulation. And the importance of pressure was the difference in the game. The pressure that was on Darian Mensa pretty much all night. He was a per PFF, okay, so not our staff, per PFF. Notre Dame pressured him on 34 of 43 dropbacks. So he was under constant duress all night. Car, conversely, was pressured 12 times on his 40 dropbacks. So Miami had no sacks in this game. They have lost the last seven, by the way, in which they had zero sacks. So this was a CJ Car game. I assumed it was gonna be regardless of where the Darian Mensa had Malachite Tony to throw the ball to, 'cause I remember coming out of the Brigham Young game. I said going into this one. I'm kinda leanin' Notre Dame to win the game, 'cause I'm kinda leanin' on them say, and we're gonna win it or lose it with this guy. This guy being CJ Car, and now the Heisman Trophy favorite at the moment. That's a long way from being decided, but he is who I thought he was. He was 29 of 40 last night for 3.19, 3 touchdowns, no picks. That's a season high in yardage, okay? That's what I wanted to be sayin' about him. Coming out of this game was he played his best game in the biggest game, which is really hard to do. It sounds good, it's bumper sticker type stuff, but it's actually rare, 'cause it takes a special kind of person when the competition level ramps up to actually ramp up their level of production. But as good a night as this was for Notre Dame, you know, it was a great night, by the way, what a spectacle. I wish we could have been there. They had a little reversal on the field credential policy at the 11th hour, which sucked, didn't like that at all, but whoever makes that call is whoever makes that call. So we came home, we weren't even up there for the game. But man, for the people who were there, it looked pretty incredible. This was actually a great night for Miami too, though. It's a great night for college football, anytime you play these big, it's always an out of conference game from Notre Dame, but these big cross-sectional kinds of games, these rivalry games, it's always a win. I thought it was a pretty big win for Miami too. What's the goal here for Miami? Their goal is not to win a regular season game, or to even win the ACC. Their goal is to get back to the national title game and win it. Now you're gonna need Malachi Tony to do that, and we think that they're gonna get Malachi Tony back. So let's assume you get him back down the road. In the meantime, if you've been thrown into the fire and seen the likes of Cooper Barcai, put up 10 catches for 92 and two, and seen Elijah Lofton put seven for 113 and one on the board, and you've tasted your own blood in the process, and you lose on the road by seven, as your minus two turnovers, does that help you or hurt you in that cause? 'Cause I would argue unless you lose another game, it helps you tremendously to be that kind of battle tested, and to know once we get Tony back, that we got two other dudes now, that it makes that past game that much more difficult to deal with, and if I'm a Miami fan, and I picked him to win the national title, so I kind of am thinking about it from the Miami perspective here, I love it. I'm fine with it. I still think they're gonna win the national title. So I mean, they got down big last night, so you have to show the resolve to get back in the game. You have to have guys step up against one of the best defenses in the country on the road, without your best player, one of the best players in the country. I'm okay with it. Luzin's not the worst thing in the world. This is not the BCS era. It's not Luz1 and you're out. So Miami's fine here, but Notre Dame's floor, I think, has been established. Unless they lose, and I doubt they will, although I'm not gonna be one who overlooks the SMU game, I think like Notre Dame's winning out the rest of the way, I kind of want to know, and the only thing I really want to know about them now is are they like fifth Tuesday night or are they eighth Tuesday night? Because then I get the question answered of whether they can technically afford to lose to SMU, which I have a sneaking suspicion they can at this point, but you also got to start asking yourself a question that I'm going to talk about later when we're talking about playoff predictions, I'm not sure that America has come to face the possibility of Notre Dame having a first round by yet, because I floated it to the staff earlier today, and there was a pause from at least one staffer who shall remain nameless, and then Mitch started shaking his, excuse me, I don't want to name names. That person started shaking his head, and I'm like, yeah, that's the rule this year. It's not the conference champs, it's just whoever the top four is, that's who gets the first round by. Now, if Georgia gets the first round by, it's probably because they just went to the SEC championship game and won it, so they played a 13th game. Notre Dame could play 12 games, not play a 13th, so rest that weekend, and then rest another weekend. If you don't like it, call your local congressman, better yet, call your local commissioner, because they're the ones who agreed on it. Miami is not done yet, okay? So, they are an overwhelming favorite to make the playoff, they're an overwhelming favorite to do everything. Look, they played a great game last night, but they lost the game. They also got taken to overtime against Florida State. They also got taken to the wire against North Carolina. This is not a team that played a good team last night in lost, but is otherwise gone scorched earth. So, they've got to improve their level of play still, but there's still a lot of work to do on the back end of this, to where I am not automatically looking past Duke. They're a 13 and a half point favorite, not a 33 and a half point favorite against them this weekend. They got Virginia Tech coming in. They got Boston College. They don't leave home again until the ACC Championship game. They should win all those games. They are, like I said, an overwhelming favorite to win the ACC. They would theoretically face wake forest in a rematch, but this was awesome to watch, man. Great scene, great environment up there, like three-fourths of the country's celebrities were at that game, congrats to Notre Dame, kind of put to rest at least for the time being. This ridiculous, I'll stop short. It's not a ridiculous talking point to say they hadn't beaten anyone. It was a ridiculous talking point to suggest they couldn't or that they were vastly overrated. No, they weren't. No, they weren't. No, they weren't. No, they were a really good team. They could win the whole thing this year. And anyone who said otherwise probably just hates Notre Dame. So, we don't hate Notre Dame around here, so we didn't say that. That was where we went Friday, our show up there, Friday. Let me buy the way, give a massive hat tip. There was someone administratively way up the chain at Notre Dame that yanked a bunch of people's field credentials at the 11th hour, so whoever did that, I'm not all that pleased with. Everybody else at Notre Dame, including most of the people we normally deal with there. I don't put that on their play and the fan base there. It was rain in Friday when we went up there to do our ESPN show. At various points it was pouring down rain Jesse, so like I'll just give you a little inside baseball. We're sitting over there. It's in a big room, who's in there? Compton's in there, Taylor's in there, Nick Saban's randomly sitting in there. He was eating his lunch, but we were about to go out and do our show. We were scared nobody was going to be there because it was pouring down rain and it was miserable and by our standards it was cold, by their standards half of more wearing shorts. And we went out there and people just showed up to watch our show in the rain. There was no cover for them. And so I appreciate it. We appreciated it. We looked at each other with like five minutes to go until airtime and we said, "Yeah, this is not going to be a problem." And then the crowd just continued to build. We stayed afterwards and took pictures and then we went across town and had a live show that night, sold that out too. So man, huge, huge appreciation. That is my favorite place to go. I've said that for a long time. Noter names my favorite campus. It's my favorite stadium to go to. So huge, huge hat tip for our friends up there. Probably going to see them in the post season, I would imagine. So where are we going this week? Where are we headed? It's a different looking board this week. So we had to make a decision and I knew as soon as we revealed where we were going to go, someone was going to say this tour goes nowhere but the SEC, even though the last two weeks we've been outside the SEC, but we're going to be in the SEC this week. Going back to the old home state, Jesse, the week 11 don't tread on Saturday tour takes us down the road to good ways to Athens, Georgia. I think it's a 330 kickoff from Missouri at Georgia. We'll also be there Friday, busing and paying on campus. Is it Myers Quad? I believe that's the name is right down from Buttsamarich, right down from the facility because I drive by it all the time when I'm going over there. So we'll be there Friday, two to three Eastern ESPN show. I expect millions and millions of people there. And in Saturday, we will be on the sideline for that one. Of that, I am fairly certain. Looking forward to that noted, I mean, not noted in Missouri, back against the wall. This is do or die for them. George, I mean, while coming off that huge win, we're going to talk about in a second, but that's not what you're interested in tonight. What you're interested in tonight is at paintstatematerial.com. The shirts are there. Georgia themed don't tread on Saturday shirts are there. They will commemorate this trip, this trip only and we have not been able to go to Athens this year. We didn't know if we were going to be able to, but we can and there you go. Let's get back into this. Oh, by the way, I needed to flip my screen around here, thank you. Jesse, can you believe we started the show like that? For those of you just tuning in, we hit 600,000 subs right as we started the show. And we didn't plan it that way. I don't know how we could have timed it up any better. And it was the biggest week of the year. So it's like the reaction show for the biggest Saturday of the year and we hit 600k subs. It's amazing. Pure, pure, unadulterated cinema to start the show. We got to clip that. Send it off to festivals and stuff like that, film festivals. If there's a million times more digital intelligence than there is biological intelligence, it's hard to imagine humans being in control in that scenario. I'm Walter Isaacson, host of the new podcast, The Builders. Right now, we're living through an AI arms race. So I went directly to the people shaping that future. Elon Musk, Derio Amade, Alex Carr, Fefe Lee, Palmer Lucky, because I wanted to understand what the most consequential builders believe, what they feel, and where they think this is all headed. Silicon Valley is always saying the cliché thing about the way to predict the future is to create it, well, yeah, it's up to us. But when you say us, who's us, is it 400 people that you know in Silicon Valley? Is it me down here in New Orleans? They're brilliant, controversial, and they're already shaping the future. The question is, who's imagination do we want to live in? This is going to determine the fate of nations and economies and the future of humanity. Listen to The Builders, on the IHOT Radio app Apple Podcast, or ever get your podcasts. First thing I hate about Ulysses is they never actually tell the Turks. I'm Dave, and I've been a **** for my life. In October 2021, my brother, David, was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. A year later, he convinced me to make a podcast with him. This podcast. Okay, so here we go. We didn't know what we were doing, so we just started recording. We discussed cancer since the radiation I lost about 10 more pounds. We fought. Yeah, pisses me off. And we talked openly about the fact that David was going to die. I am afraid of being forgotten. My brother, David, is the story of the last chapter of my brother's life. It's weird and messy and vulnerable, and I'm going to share all of it with you. It's a constant back and forth battle about how do I not just be alive, but I should live. Listen to my brother, David, on the IHOT Radio app Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. The Big Tech podcast from Bloomberg News is your home for reliable data-driven journalism. Are we at a crisis moment when it comes to bond yields? In the US, no. In the case of France, very imminent signs of a potential crisis. Because when you want to understand the forces moving markets, shaping governments, and driving the global economy, you go to the experts. I don't think I have ever in my journalistic career confronted a journalistic subject that was genuinely secretive the way Jane Street was. When Zelensky was on the phone with the president, the president just kept saying diesel, diesel, diesel. Markets, politics, award-winning investigations, plus the unexpected industries, quietly changing the world. Most of a billion dollars worth of Romantic books were sold in the US last year. We're just like swinging between fear and greed every day based on the latest headline, you know. Where are we today? My place fear I play greed. Think of it as the NBA you don't have to pay for. Listen to the Big Tech, wherever you get your podcasts. Alabama just kind of went and handled LSU last night in the end. I would give this three-challie, which we normally don't give 31 to 13 finals, but this was a really close game in the fourth quarter. Caitlin DeBourne moves to 11 and three versus AP Top 20. five teams on the road. He's pretty good. That just turns out he's pretty good. Uh, they got guys back. So you know, it's kind of tough. The context you talk about this sport in because like we all know how good teams are towards the beginning of the year when they're all healthy. There's our boy Rico Scott going off again when his when his numbers called. So we saw Bama towards the beginning of the year when they were fully healthy and they look like an offensive machine defensively. They're pretty good too. Opportunistic at the very least. And then they got guys banged up and then they didn't look so good. And they go to Tennessee and they're they're hollow and they get completely demolished. And you're trying to play this game in your in your mind of how much did injuries factor in there? Well, I am going to suggest it doesn't matter because everyone is some degree of beat up. So if you lose, you lose. But as far as it relates to now and moving forward, they got Ryan Williams back for last night. They got racing Delgady, the center back for last night. Terence Green. They just see him on the first snap of the game, knock someone backwards. So they got guys back. Xavier and Brown tried to go. Uh, they ended up taking him out of the game, but that's their best corner that is starting to come back. They looked different. Now they still had a fight on their hands last night, but at least they were equipped to win this one. So the box score I really think lies to you about this game. And sometimes you have teams go up and down the field and they're all kind of like self-inflicted wounds and stuff or they like cough up the ball, but it's not contested. That's not the way this game played out. LSU outgained Alabama 457 to 285. A lot of times it means that's a misleading final if the other team wins the game. I think this final is very indicative of the way the game was played only because I think Kane won back in that defensive stab did exactly what they wanted to do. It's kind of tough for a Bama fan to watch that because I know back in the day, you guys grew accustomed to watching Kirby smart and Nick Saban defenses. Jeremy prude it. Like when those guys were coordinators there, they contested every blade of grass on the field. They did not give up a free inch of space on the field. That's just not the way they play right now. They play what you would call a bend, but don't break style of defense. It's not that they want to give up yardage, but they understand that area down there inside the 30 inside the 20 inside the 10. That's the premium area. That's the premium real estate. That's when we're going to bow our neck. And yesterday, LSU goes up and down the field. They have eight drives into Alabama territory. And they total 13 points. That's the paper popper step. I mean, over and over and over again, that Bama defensive staff, they're just comfortable, not giving up a ton of huge explosive plays, not a ton of explosive passes here. It was just five yard pass, 10 yard pass, and it can be aggravating when you're watching it. I know it can, but the end result is exactly what it's designed to be. We don't think you can beat us in the red zone. And they were right because LSU didn't beat him in the red zone. But even then there were long periods of offensive drought in this game for Alabama. And I thought the way it turned last night perfectly encapsulates how that team, like if you don't have a consistent ground game, you don't win big time college football games sustaining 13 and 14 play drives. You don't wear the opposition down methodically over four quarters. That's not how Alabama is built to win games. What they're built to do is what they did yesterday. 244 to go in the third quarter. LSU leads this game 13 to 10 with six and a half minutes to go in the fourth quarter. The game's over. Tiger stadiums emptied out. Alabama's up 31-13. The way they win games is like the Raptor in Jurassic Park. All of a sudden their nose pops out of the brush and you're dead before you even knew they were there. And it's like boom, boom, boom, it's over. And you're looking around saying like what happened? You could have taken a phone call from your mom last night if you're an LSU fan and walked back to the TV 12 minutes later and you're like, how could this possibly have happened just like Assassin's work. That's kind of how it works with them. It's not even the first time they've done it this year. Jesse, that Kentucky game kind of went that way earlier this year. The South Carolina game had vibes like that. It's just that this one was on the road and this one was when people were doubting them. I didn't think they'd win this game. I had to see that to believe it. So I saw it. Now I believe it. LSU's got to win some big games. When they hired Lane Kiffin, it was their number one candidate. So LSU sought out or LSU set out to hire Lane Kiffin and they hired Lane Kiffin and they spared no expense and they spared no expense in this roster. And I think somewhere along the way, you can convince yourself, if we just throw a lot of money at something, we can expect 130% of what someone has been. We can expect 150% of what someone has been. Lane Kiffin has been winless against Alabama to this point as a head coach and after last night, he's still winless to this point in his career as a head coach. The difference is he's being given a whole lot more and the expectations a lot higher now. And they got to win big games eventually. This is not one of those dumb conversations, hot seat conversations, not that stuff at all. I'm just saying that's kind of that's kind of the trade off here. You're going to be given every possible resource and you got to get the job done. I think the world of his staff, Charlie Wise, Blake Baker, those dudes are really good, but you got put in some high leverage spots last night. And the other side, when those coaches were put in high leverage spots, did you see what Alabama looked like when they got in the red zone? Did you see how wide open forward was? Ryan Williams could have walked in the end so they had two different touchdowns down there where guys could literally just walk in the end zone. You get down there, not quite in the red zone, but you get in their territory eight times and do virtually nothing with it. That's coaching man. That's just that's that's getting worked as a staff. So looking ahead, I saw some debate today about how alive or not LSU is. If they went out, Jesse, do you think they're in the playoff? I firmly think they're in the playoff if they went out. Mind you, them winning out means beating Texas and going on the road and beating Tennessee. So it's a lot of easier done than said or a lot easier said than done. But if they do that, they'll have multiple wins to hang their hat on. They don't have that right now. Their best win is at Auburn. Is it Texas saying them? It's if we're having to ask questions like that, points made. So they'll get their wins or else they won't be in this thing and you will have yet another team that spent over 40 million dollars on a roster and not done anything. On the other side, the one other point I want to make is Keel and Russell stat line here. It is not going to wow anyone. It's a good stat line at 17 of 24 206. But I'm going to keep pointing out the same thing. I did a little mini reaction video on this game last night and it's on the channel. Did a ton of numbers, by the way. So a lot of people were interested in this game. But I said that in that video and I'll reiterate it here. Keel and Russell was a stud in this game because of what he prevented. Remember when they went to Tennessee, the damn broke and he got sacked multiple times and they couldn't function offensively. In that place yesterday, everybody's tough as Neelan. That opponent can be everybody's tough as Neelan. Those defensive statistics did not bode well. That matchup did not bode well on paper for Alabama. I want you to watch the first scoring drive when you have time. You go back and watch that first touchdown drive, Alabama has. There's a bad snap on third down that could have wrecked that entire thing and he saves it, converts for a first down. He's got three runners multiple times on that drive in his face. Like LSU pressured him a lot throughout the night and he's got the escape ability. He ends up making a couple of huge throws down the stretch, but there was so much work he did last night on a bad ankle to only have put up 206 yards and what do you have on the ground, 25 yards on the ground. I'm just saying so much of what he did is not quantifiable. So it was a great game for him. Alabama is probably going to make the playoff now. They're firmly in the mix to go to the SEC championship game. Like they're odds to make the playoff minus 10,000. I didn't know is that high. So yeah, the question's going to be how healthy can they get? And then you know, the guys they have now, do they stay healthy? And are they a team that can peak at the right time? Because it's very obvious. We've seen it twice this year. Last night in flashes earlier this year in bunches, when they're healthy, they're good is as good as anyone. They could beat anyone. They've got to sustain it. That's really the only question with Alabama. Let's move on. Oh man, we're going to talk about this game. You're going to have to excuse my face here. It was an uncomfortable game to watch. Georgia just ended it all for Ole Miss 42 to seven was the final score. We give this game one chalai. I mean, cause it did technically happened. What are you saying? We thought it was going to be a four. Yeah. Yeah. We set the over under chalai on this game at four. And instead Ole Miss is season pretty much ends, although Fandall disagrees with that. Like the odds market still has a very good good path for Ole Miss to make the playoffs. I don't see that. I hope I'm wrong. I got nothing against Ole Miss. I just have no idea how that happens moving forward 'cause it's not just that they have three losses. This is a blowout loss. The Texas, what was the Texas final, Jesse? 34-20, I can't even see it 'cause it formats it off the screen. Okay, so it's one blowout loss. Look, they may not be done losing. There are two and a half point. It's a two and a half point number either way with Oklahoma this weekend. So the chambler's hype, I mean, that bubble burst. Any reason to watch past half time of this game was ended. So many things were ended last night. There are not many constants in this world. People always say death in Texas. Like, me and my users tell me the most dependable people are more trustworthy than time itself, 'cause even the clock changes twice a year. Kirby smart just doesn't change. The one time he changed was two years ago. They couldn't run the ball. Two years ago they were in the 100s in rushing numbers. And I remember being around them the following spring. And it was like, they were either going to get that right or die trying. There was no in between. And since then, they've run the ball again. You watched that defense last night, man. That defense was on fire last night. And now, so out of all these games that felt unpredictable going into the weekend, this one felt predictable, and we were right about it. 'Cause there were so many things I was confident in. The first was, I didn't know without a ground game what Ole Miss was gonna be able to put together and the answer was nothing. That's assault. If you're listening on podcasts, don't go watch the video. Or if you do, I mean, make sure your kids are in bed. This is terrible. So the confidence came in the fact that you kind of thought, "George, if they get their ground game going, which we expected them to, there won't be much resistance Ole Miss can put up." George had nearly 300 yards on the ground in this game. They threw the ball 15 times the whole night. Now, I don't even know that that was necessary, mainly out of boredom. But other than, you know, the occasional pass, and by the way, stocked and threw it 15 times, it still had 186 through the air. So honestly, Ole Miss is lucky it was only 42. It's what I'm trying to say, because if they had they chosen to, had they really sought an embarrassment, it's 50, it's 60, it's kind of just doing whatever you want to do. This, this stat right here, paper popper of the show, Georgia had seven different players with a run of at least 13 yards, seven, seven different players. What this season? No, last night in this game, they made Trinidad Shambles irrelevant. But think about how that's juxtaposed to last year when they faced him in the sugar bowl, and he's a nightmare against them. And then you fast forward less than a calendar year, and they just splatter him all over Oxford. It was tough. They're the best team I've seen. At their best, so far, like last night, in other words, that looks like the best team in the country. Defenses become an elite unit. They can stretch the field. The criticism, including sometimes with Georgia fans, that they want to throw at Mike Bobo, or maybe at Gunner Stockton, is he'll be a little hesitant, which is valid. But I'm talking about potential. They have the potential to stretch the field. They don't have superstar wide receivers. But Taylor had another big one last night, like they've got the ability to do that. Even at the tight end position, you saw him do it against Bama. They've got the ability to do that. The run games there, though. All the stuff that you need, all the ingredients for consistency, they've got it. They need to stay healthy. They need to respect the margins in this game, because I know last night it looked like they're a super team. They're not. There is no super team in the sport right now. That group lost to Auburn a few weeks ago. So Kirby always loves to say humility is a week away. Very true. They're in a stretch right now. It may not seem like it, based on the last two weeks results, but they're in the toughest stretch of their season right now. And it's about halfway over. They got Missouri in total desperation mode coming to town this week. And then they got to go to Columbia, South Carolina. You're facing two really dynamic quarterbacks. You're facing two teams with their lives on the line, competitively, at least. So they got to sustain that. But with Ole Miss, I know now that the season, it's not over. Not saying seasons over. I'm saying you're probably on the outside looking in from a playoff perspective. Some of the whispers began about the decision they made last year. And they really shouldn't be, because I don't think they had any other choice than to do what they did with Pete. So Pete Golding elevated to head coach. They go to the playoffs. They are close to going into the national title game. That was very much like riding a sugar high, riding the chamblest effect. They were running the ball really good. They had some good defensive players. Then the sugar high wears off. And you were going to find out the difference between that, sugar high and sustainability. Because this year and moving forward, it was going to be none of the residual effect of getting a head start last year and then you take over. It's just your team now. It's your program now. Here they are. Not a bad team at all, but there's obviously a gap between them and the upper echelon of the conference this year. What are they moving forward? I'm talking like the seasons over. Again, it's not over, but I'm just saying it's natural to start thinking that way now with all miss. Then again, Jesse, we were asking that about Oregon a couple of weeks ago. And someone's asking in the live chat, as we speak, does Oregon get in with three losses? So no one season is over right now. Well, no one in this conversation seasons over yet. You can go to Loveable right now and create a prediction machine to get answer all of those questions for you. We partner with Loveable and we got some feedback. Jesse, did you see the feedback when we did the JP poll the other night? People want us to make the helmets bigger and want us to make the logos bigger. It's our fault. It's not Loveable's fault. Loveable built exactly what we told them to build. So the fun part of that is you can go to Loveable and you could take any idea over there. You could take any concept over there. It doesn't have to be just college football, could be anything and you could build it right there. I mean, and they run that thing on the back end. It's great. We have several in-house products that will probably end up making public that we built with Loveable. But if you've ever found yourself out there asking, "Self, why does this not exist? Why does that not exist?" Well, it's because you haven't gone to Loveable.com and made it exist yet. And I think you guys will be shocked at how easy that is. Trust me. We did it. It's not that difficult. Elon Musk, Derio Amade, Alex Carr, Feifei Lee, Palmer Lucky, because I wanted to understand what the most consequential Builders believe, what they feel, and where they think this is all headed. Silicon Valley is always saying the cliché thing about the way to predict the future is to create it. Well, yeah, it's up to us. But when you say us, who's us? Is it 400 people that you know in Silicon Valley? Listen to The Builders, on the iHeart Radio app Apple Podcast, or ever get your podcasts. I'm Dave, and I've been in for my life. On October 2021, my brother David was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. This podcast. Okay, so here we go. We fought. Yeah, pisses me off. My brother David is the story of the last chapter of my brother's life. The constant back and forth battle about how do I, how do I not just be alive, but actually live. Listen to my brother David on the iHeart Radio app Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. It really drives the global economy. The big take podcast from Bloomberg News goes beyond the headlines to bring you reliable data driven reporting. To borrow a phrase here shamelessly, how does the US make treasuries great again? It's a big challenge. China is not putting it saving into the US treasurer market anymore. The US debt is blowing up, and AI is just absorbing capital from around the world. We follow the money, the power, and the policies. I have ever in my journalistic career confronted a journalistic subject that was genuinely secretive the way Jane Street was. One major story. 15 minutes, every weekday. - So the previous game in the series, Grand Theft Out of Five, has sold 230 million copies. - The population of a small country. - It is, it is the bigger than a lot of small countries. - We're just like swinging between fear and greed every day based on the latest headline, you know. - Where are we today? - My plays fear I play greed. (laughing) - Listen to the big take, wherever you get your podcasts. - We continue. - I'm just looking at my phone, I'm sorry, there was a pregnant pause there. A ton of Southern Miss propaganda on my phone right now, yeah. And that's with me knowing what I'm about to say at the end of the show. Like if you guys only knew what's written on this piece of paper, I don't know how I get myself in these messes. Tennessee ended up running away from Kentucky last night, 34 to 6, two chalai, 'cause it was a close game. In the fourth quarter, this was a one possession game. So two chalai, Neelan Stadium is like an amusement park but like a scary one. They keep playing haunted Rocky Top and it's effective 'cause you can hear that through the TV broadcast. And if you don't know what you're watching, you think you're kind of watching a movie. Plus they had the laser show there last night and I just, it's Bill Martin's work. He's only one man, but since I don't know all the game day operations people there, I just give Bill Martin full credit for every single spectacle piece that you see from the Tennessee game day production and oh by the way, they got a really good football team too. That helps 'cause we've seen a bunch of times what happens when you invest in game day production and the team sucks. You just got like 30,000 fans in a half empty building, watching fireworks for no reason. That is not Tennessee right now. So they have back to back went, this is a paper popper. Tennessee back to back top 10 wins at home for the first time since 1998. Mitch, do you remember what Tennessee did in 1998? Does anyone recall? It seems like a pretty notable year. I got into it last week on Twitter with a guy and that's a specific as I like to get 'cause I had the following take last week. My take was Kentucky belongs in the top five of any pole that's merit based, not power ratings. They belong in the top five of the playoff or the AP and all that, but I also thought Tennessee was gonna win this game and cover. And I said, I think Tennessee's gonna win a cover 'cause I don't think you can keep counting on turnovers 'cause I don't think that that's a predictive step. So this guy, Lee, is his name, he said the following. Well you say Kentucky's good and deserves credit for turnover margin, but now it's just unpredictable luck. You can say bad bounces are luck, but when a quarterback's thrown one pick all year and the defense takes the ball away and every way possible, we can and we got it, it doesn't luck. My opinion is there are teams that are better at forcing turnovers than others, but in this was my reply to him. I said, crediting someone for forcing turnovers while picking a game on the basis that the stat itself isn't predictive, is not talking out of both sides of my mouth. It's acknowledging how the sport works. So here's what history has told us about turnovers. It is a luck based sport. Even though forcing turnovers is coachable from a predictive standpoint, it is luck based. You cannot start counting on forcing turnovers. Well guess what happened last night? The well ran dry on turnover luck and in fact Kentucky was minus three turnovers plus they had two turnovers on downs, plus they muft upon. And you see the final score on the bottom of the screen? That's how important possessing the ball is. 34 to six ends up being the final. Bishop was a stud for Tennessee. He has been all year. It's his fifth straight, 100 plus yard rushing game. They had four more sacks. They had eight tackles for loss. Tennessee at home is a nightmare to deal with this year. That's just the last place you want to go into right now. Did you notice if you watched this game, I knew there was a lot going on last night, but if you watched this game, phase on Brandon, starting to try and define more and more how they're using him. And you kind of get the feel, Hyple is looked at the situation and understands the ceiling of this team is playoff. And if we get in the playoff, we want to win the national title. That's our goal. There's a skill set he has that while it may not be good enough to make him our starting quarterback right now, we've got to take advantage of. And I give him full credit. I give that staff full credit. It's been a phenomenal coaching job by Josh Hyple because he is very, very good at working to the strengths of a team. Now, if you look at the way they're running this year's team versus the way he's run teams in the past, teams in the past has been pinball on grass. It's been a snap every 13 seconds. They're not running hardly any tempo at all right now. They're running the ball. They're leaning on defense. He is bringing a quarterback along that was not the quarterback they named as the starter. So it's just these very malleable, which is a hallmark of the best coaches in the country. But they're working to the strengths of that team right now, Kentucky. There is good news. It's not all bad. I know it looked all bad last night. It's not all bad. Good news, point one. You don't have to play Neil and Stadium anymore this year. You're done with that. Good news, point two. It was a one-possession game in the fourth quarter. Final score may not make it feel that way, but this was a one-possession game. This is closer later than that final score looks. Good point number three. You know why it happened. They didn't box score you to death. You were winlin' like 20, 30 yards. Total yardage was there. It's just turnovers are going to kill you. You've got to win turnover. You certainly can't be losing it, at least force even in that stack category. But you know what cost you games and you know what's one you games. And fourthly, you've got Florida this weekend and they're reeling. You go to Missouri the week after, Missouri could be coming off back to back losses and could have just had their playoff hopes dashed. So you never know what state they're going to be in. And then you close the season against Louisville. You win every one of those games. You'll be in the playoff if you do that. So your fate and Tennessee, for that matter, both teams' fates are still very much in their hands. So there's a reason to be excited for Tennessee. There's no reason to be overly down here. If you're Kentucky, you got jerked back to Earth, you know exactly why. Go fix it. Go fix it. Let's continue. Ohio State and Michigan are disasters. I can't believe what I watched yesterday. The same day, Ohio State gets beat at home by Oregon, 41-28. Michigan gets beat by Michigan State, 15 to 6. And neither game was as close as those scores indicate. Michigan State was up 15 to nothing in the big house with two minutes to go in the game. Michigan State didn't score turnover yesterday. Two in six beat to death Michigan State came in your building and beat you convincingly with no touchdown. And then in Columbus, Ohio State gets up 14-0 early. And truthfully, since it was such a jam-packed day, a lot of people looked at that game, knew that Ohio State started hot and probably removed it from their main screen. And then you look back and Oregon's up 38 to 14. You do the numbers quick and you realize, wait a second. So if they were up 14-0, and that's 38-14, that means Dylan Ryola and Oregon just went 38-0 run in our building. How do you even explain this? Like there are deep, deep fundamental issues with both these programs right now. Michigan's as far worse to be very clear than Ohio State. The difference is Ohio State's expectation was way higher than Michigan this year. But first things first, Michigan's got to end this. Michigan is in the middle of a failed experiment with Kyle Winningham. It is so blatantly obvious. Utah is better off after he's left. Utah knew what they were doing. Let's just not rewrite history here. Utah said goodbye to Kyle Winningham before he was ready to say goodbye. Because they knew they had their head coach of the future in Morgan Scali already on the staff. Spoiler alert, Utah is in the National Championship conversation right now, and conversely, Michigan has no clue what it's doing. It's like elevator music between the ears. No one's home. No one has any idea. In fact, that's a lie. People do have an idea. It wasn't a good hire. You don't need to wait two or three more years to see how it works out. This is not some young up-and-coming head coach who has too much on his plate right now. This is not a guy drinking from a fire hose. This is a guy that is decades into a coaching career that had wound to an end at his old place. And it's easy for me to say this now. So I'm not doing the Monday morning quarterbacking. It turns out did not really warrant the opportunity he got at the new place, but you gave it to him. You can't go back in time and change that. You fired Jason Bett today, the offensive coordinator, who somehow is owed $10 million. Coordinator, owed $10 million not to coach. That's like money is still not real in this sport. But in no world does this work out. And people who watch this show always criticize me, 'cause I'll never call out coaches. So you're right, I rarely call them out like this, but to look at how dead in the water Michigan is as a program right now. And to know it's going nowhere, you got a multi-million dollar quarterback on your roster in Bryce Underwood, and he's not doing anything, you're just staring at me. Why? Oh, the mic. You need to come up with a hand gesture for that. The push, that's it. Don't do it so aggressively, please. Anyway, Michigan's just kind of, it's past their expiration date. I don't know how else to describe it. It's like if you have produce that's past its expiration date, you don't wait for it to come back around. This isn't going to work. So it's not my money. I know there's a buyout included here. It's not my money. So you guys can stick with him if you want to, but on the Ohio State side, quarterback goes down in Julian Sey, and then the entire team implodes, which has been way more shocking to watch. It's not the craziest thing in the world to think that Michigan with an unproven quarterback doesn't work out coach who's up there in years and gets run off from his old spot. It turns out it's not cut out to be the head coach of Michigan. That's not the most shocking thing. It is shocking that Ryan Day and a pair of NFL coordinators are having circles run around them and they have no answers. That's crazy. And yet that's exactly where we are right now. So I wake up every Sunday morning and I've got to come up with a ceramic lockling special. It's part of my duties and responsibilities. And I couldn't do it today 'cause every time I looked at Ohio State, I'm like, "What about Michigan?" And then every time I looked at Michigan, I'm like, "What about Ohio State?" So cue it up, get ready. For the first time in history, we have two ceramic lockling specials presented by courtyard. It's Ohio State and it's Michigan. This brings me no joy. Ohio State has dropped to six and five in their last 11 games. But then on the other hand, Michigan needed garbage time to score at all against two and six beat-to-death dead in the water Michigan State. But on the other hand, West Coast teams have now hung 70 plus on Ohio State the past two weeks. But then on the other hand, Michigan just suffered their first loss without allowing a touchdown since 1985. But then on the other hand, Oregon averaged starting field position yesterday at their own 43-yard line. Jesse, that's nearly mid-field. We ran the numbers. But then on the other hand, Michigan state just took home Paul Bunyan's axe. For the first time since 2021, and Kyle Winningham has no idea what Paul Bunyan's axe even is 'cause he doesn't care about traditions up there. He hasn't even bothered to learn what they mean. But then on the other hand, this is the first November with Ohio State out of the top 20 since 2011, 2011 sucked for Ohio State. But then on the other hand, and this is the dramatic conclusion under this all, mark your calendars. November 28th, these two teams play each other, kick off scheduled for high noon, but the game will be played and complete and total darkness. Ohio State and Michigan, the first ever co-Cerema Glockland Special. The good news, if there is good news to be had, and I'm not sure that there is, is that we partner with courtyard to give away something at least to fans of these universities. And so Garrett Mallory with Ohio State, you're a winner, and Daniel Doolock with Michigan, you're a winner. We'll be in touch. People are gonna go to the Fire Ryan Day thing, not me, but I think it's blatantly obvious. They're gonna be huge overhalls that have to be made there. Here's what I always wonder in times like these and you're never gonna know it. I really wonder, not what I think is wrong, not what fans think is wrong. I wish you could get truth serum in a coach, Ryan Day in this case, and he would just have to admit what he thinks is wrong. 'Cause no one has a better viewpoint on a program than they had coached the program. Like, where does he think he's gone wrong? What does he think is their biggest to kill his heel? How close does it align with just what the overall narratives are? Outside of the Woody Hayes building up there is about Ohio State? But with Michigan, it's way different. Michigan's just dead in the water. Ohio State's not dead in the water. Ohio State has a head coach, this one national championships, or a national championship in the past three or four years, they just gotta make changes internally. But at Michigan, the changes have to be wholesale. And I don't know if you're gonna do it now, or you're gonna do it later, but Jesse, how far do you think we'd have to search for someone who believes if you just give Kyle Wittingham enough time, it'll get turned around. I don't know a single person. And I know some Michigan people who will go to the ends of the earth to defend the block M. And even their life. No, man, this is not it. And it'd be one thing. It'd be one thing if you had a guy that was fighting to embrace Michigan. And he had gone out of his way, you know, 'cause you're paying him $8 million a year to immerse himself in Michigan culture. I've never seen someone more disinterested in embracing anything about the traditions of a university. Then Kyle Wittingham seems to be with Michigan. It's the wildest thing. I have no idea how that works out because it doesn't. You hungry, Jesse? I got factor meals. We actually got them in the fridge right now. So I know a lot of you have jobs. A lot of you have busy, busy lives. You got responsibilities and you may be thinking to yourself, I've got to eat crap because I've got too much to do and I don't have time for home-cooked meals. Well, you may be right that you don't have time for home-cooked meals in the traditional sense. But this is the year of our Lord, 2026. So a home-cooked meal is like two or three minutes away with factor. So eat real. Because we do, we got them in the fridge right now. Go to factor meals.com/pate50off. That's paid 500FF. And use that code to get 50% off. One free breakfast per box for one year. While supplies last, that's all the way through this year. Literally, new year's eve of this year. So paid 50 off at factor meals.com. Paid 50 off factor meals.com. Listen, here's what you really want to know. Is the food good? Yes, it's good. We eat them all the time here. It's very, very good. So you don't have to skimp on quality just to have a meal ready in two or three minutes. Many, many more winners and losers from yesterday. Utah. A holy war, victorious home field performance 28 to 20. Jesse, I had no idea where that sentence was going where I started it. Sometimes I just start sentences and I just hope to figure him out on the way down. It's the Michael Scott School of Broadcast. What a spectacle this was. 10 a.m. local kickoff out there. It was a game of runs. That's for sure 14 0 Utah's up early. Then Brigham Young goes on a 20 0 run. And then Utah, I think hung the final 14, right? Yeah, that's how the math worked out there. Very, very, very easy to see where the difference in this game was. Devin Damper, four total touchdowns, no turnovers. And Bear Botmire did not see an interception he wouldn't throw yesterday. And as bad as the four total interceptions, look. I mean, Jesse, would it be fair to say, he's lucky he only threw four picks. There were other pickable passes. Tough to say. Brigham Young also penalized a lot, 11 for 80 yards. That's how that's home field. That's what going on the road does in this sport. But you know what? I looked at them yesterday and I still see something there. Like I remember the Notre Dame game. So I still know it's there. It's there. You gotta value possessing the football a whole lot more. But it's there. And those two teams could meet again in Dallas in the big 12 championship game. They could meet again. I still think Brigham Young can win that thing. If they meet again, the difference is they've put themselves behind the eight ball a little bit. Not so much with that game, but losing that UCF game. And then this one has put them behind the eight ball. South Carolina, oh, let me tell you. I had to hide the whale breach. I know a lot of you did not watch this game. But that's okay because I did. South Carolina beat Texas A&M 17 to nine. And covered. Lenora Sellers is an American hero. Lenora Sellers is a superhero. So Lenora Sellers at one point yesterday leaves the game his legs basically fallen off at that point. And he goes and gets the X-rays done. And then he comes back and look at that. Dragging a bloody stump of a foot across the goal line to put it away for South Carolina. And then he had, look at that. You know that that's not dramatized. You know he's feeling every bit of that. He's not an actor. He's a football player. He's a warrior. That's what he is. He's a hero. Lenora Sellers is a hero. It was heroic to me. JP Hovey at one point yesterday. Friend of the program is reported to have texted producer Jesse and said Lenora Sellers is going to come back in this game. He has. has to. So there's really no evidence that he was going to come back in. It's just either either Lenore's comes back in or it's over for us. He has to. It's kind of like when you know the ending of a movie and you know the hero lives. And then you see the hero in a big, big predicament halfway through the movie and you look and say, "Well, I don't know how this is going to happen, but he's going to survive." He has to. It's like JP and to a certain degree myself. We knew South Carolina was going to win the game. It's November, guys. We know they're going to win the game. So we know Lenore's is going to come back in. He has to. Texas A&M somehow had 457 yards and nine points. That's hard to do. That is really hard to do. 206 rushing yards. Nine points. South Carolina is still alive. Texas A&M is not. And that's the way we exit this game. Two, four, six, seven. South Carolina has the seventh best odds in the SEC to make the playoff right now and trending up. But there's a wide gap between them and the field. But still, they're trending up. UCLA disposed of Minnesota yesterday. They needed explosive plays. They got explosive plays. They had six passes that total. I can't believe this is real. They had six passes that total 285 yards. Two of those were 75 yard touchdowns on back-to-back plays to the same guy. And that was pretty much the story of this game. Minnesota never led. It was close, but Minnesota never led. And so UCLA exits this game and they got Illinois at Michigan USC. I am going to talk about it later in my playoff predictions because I'm going to update them. But I really wonder every, it seemed like the whole world was on Minnesota here. That's the reason I wouldn't pick Minnesota because I was scared because everyone else was. I didn't go as far as to bet UCLA, but I wasn't picking Minnesota. Everyone else did. Is there a time coming where they cool off? Like do they cool off at the wrong time or are they just rolling now and they're going to keep rolling? It's not new for some of these guys, some of these guys were at JMU last year. Some of these guys, including the staff went to playoffs last year. So it's not, it's not some foreign concept that they could be in the playoff, huh? Oklahoma beat Florida. OU 23 Florida 7. I have been very quietly monitoring a situation in the college football streets. I am calling it the OU Circle of Destiny. So far this year, as you see on the slider on your screen, we're deep enough into the season where I'm comfortable talking about this. Oklahoma's win-loss record sounds like this. Win-loss-win-loss-win-loss-win-loss-win. Which begs the question, can they do it? Can they finish the pattern? They do need to lose to Ole Miss this weekend, okay? Concessions do have to be made. Then you get to beat Texas A&M. Then you need to go lose to Missouri. You don't have to, okay? If you want to ruin the pattern, if you want to screw it up for everyone, we're having a lot of fun with it right now. It would lead to a six and six record. That's not ideal. But Oklahoma and the Circle of Slash cycle of Destiny is very much alive right now. This is a pretty wild stat. So they fired bin orbuckle. That's not the stat. The stat's coming. They fired bin orbuckle. They often took it into coordinator. Jason Witten, that Jason Witten, took over as interim offensive coordinator. And yesterday was the first time since joining the SEC that Oklahoma has scored on its opening two possessions. In conference play, Jesse, or period? Just period? Are we? That's not great. They've almost been in the league three years. They haven't scored on back-to-back possession. That's crazy. Florida is officially out of the playoff hunt now. As of yesterday, Florida was ranked. Although I guess if we fast forward a year and we have a 2014 playoff, Florida is still technically alive. You know, because really what we need to see is that team playing "meaningful games." Texas Tech needed 50 plus to win last night at home. And they got it. They beat West Virginia 53 to 48. A lot of you were in bed by this time. I was not, because I choose not to sleep on Saturday. And there was a point in the fourth quarter of this game where if you looked at Fandall, the live total was 112.5. And I took the under. So I'm happy to, I'm happy to announce right here that under 112 and a half points hit in this game. What do you say right now? You just win by any means necessary if your Texas Tech Hawkins threw for over 300 on them. Michael Hawkins threw for over 300. If they went out, they're in the big 12 title game. But it's going to be tough because they go to Oklahoma State, they being Texas Tech. They go to Oklahoma State this week. They go to Baylor and they got TCU. If I had to guess right now, this is for Joey. I would guess that they don't go on the feet of the rest of the way, but it's totally in their hands. And then it would be them meeting presumably you tall in the big 12 title game. But yeah, it's just, it's, it's a team that in many ways feels like a shell of itself from last year. But then again, we're saying that about Indiana too. And Indiana still squirrely in the mix for everything. I did not get to watch Iowa and Northwestern live. Producer Jesse did though. Aden Chow's was out. And that's basically what you need to know about this game. Iowa got up early and they also held Northwestern to one of 11 on third down ball game. Except that now we start to wrestle our papers a little bit, Jesse. And we start to realize, uh oh, I was only got two losses. Uh oh, they've only got Purdue, Illinois and Nebraska left. Is it going to come down to Nebraska? Is there going to be some three lost team in the SEC counting on Will Compton and the Nebraska corn huskers to knock Iowa out of the playoff? Cause it feels like that's what it's going to come down to. Texas, Missouri, 34 to 20. Steve Sarkieson was right. Sark was in his post game press conference yesterday. And he said, not many people thought we could win this game. Well, they could. I thought they could. I did not think they would. I thought Missouri was going to win this game. And then Arch went out and had the best game he's had all year. And he was 28 of 38 through for nearly 300, three touchdowns, no picks. And you know what they didn't have, Jesse? They did not have a cap buster pass. They did not have a single pass of 40 plus yards, which we talked about last week as being the secret tool that's kept them in these games and winning these games. Full credit to Texas full stop. Okay. Period on the end of that sentence. New paragraph officiating was dreadfully bad in this game. And it was disproportionately tilted against Missouri. I believe it fundamentally changed the outcome of this game. Although I can't prove it cost Missouri the game because there's no way to quantify that. But it was a shame to watch the way some of those calls went down. And it's like you're watching drink on the sideline. He can't do anything. You just have to maintain your composure. And even in the post game press conference, the great irony is, I guess it's not ironic. You get paid millions of dollars. So this is part of the trade off. They get to suck it their job. They get to cost you to fail at your job, which is winning games. And then you can't tell the truth about them in the post game press conference because even though they themselves are not ever going to have to give a public account for their failures, you can't call their failures out. Even though it caused you to fail, have I basically summed up the long and short of SEC officiating in this game yesterday? Missouri though was three of 16 on third down. So it was not officiating alone that cost you the game if it did. Texas out executed you. And that's why you lost. I did not miss Friday night. I know that we were out and about in South Bend Friday night, but oh, I found a TV screen. And I saw Illinois beat Nebraska 24 to 13. This was bad guys. We were at our live show in South Bend before this game kicked off. And I had a little Compton on my on my set on my stage. I was the last person to see him before. I mean, he's still scientifically alive. But that's about it because I saw him the next morning. And the lights were on. The eyes were open, but no one was home. He was doing the thing where he sits there with his mouth open hoodie on and up. And he just stared off into the distance. And you know how sometimes when you talk to someone, Bradley, give me camera too right quick. Like sometimes when you talk to someone, it's supposed to look like this. When you talk to will Compton after Illinois has taken Nebraska's soul, his eyes kind of do this right here. And he's technically talking to you, but his eyes are far far away. What do you do? What do you do? Matt rule is 2 and 11 in November now. I don't know what you do. You're paying him millions and millions of dollars. We don't have that stat, right? Jesse, we don't have a graphic for the highest paid coaches in college football. But it's crazy because that thing was floating around yesterday. And it's basically a who's who of coaching right now and Matt rule. So what do you do? I don't know. I'll tell you what you can do. You can just suck it up and go support him anyway. Or if you don't want to go to a Nebraska game, maybe you want to go to Athens this week. That's where we're going to be. Missouri and Georgia in town. Wherever you're going.

It's out And I don't know if these people are deciding to go with what they think the AP is gonna be I know we're presented by Ram the AP poll segment always is Sometimes happy sometimes sad sometimes agreeable sometimes not I got your feedback and so let's dive into this No time to waste Alabama Tennessee as you could clearly see on the graphic Bradley just showed you there Bama still ahead of Tennessee Bama 7 Tennessee 9 and a lot of you said what real world said here He said Tennessee beating the crap out of Bama three weeks ago and then having the same record But ranked below them is an interesting choice Now Jesse what we know is the playoff committee they have guidelines They at least claim to have a code they're living by in that room whether they do or not entirely different conversation Which we'll have Tuesday night, but I don't even know that the AP says they frankly care about head-to-head And even if they do say it is it reflected of course it's not so at least the AP the other day or the CFP the other day had the good sense to Separate them so like that's the big question going into Tuesday night's rankings If this were if this were what the playoff committee was looking at in their rough draft where let's say Bama 7 and Tennessee's nine well certainly they're close enough to where they're in the same pod to where the head-to-head comes into play, right? So Tennessee should be over Alabama now you may say to yourself well What about Texas and that's kind of where it gets a little muddy in principle or in theory? Let's see Texas right here is between Alabama and Tennessee Let's just say for the sake of argument. That's how the playoff committee sees it Tuesday night Well, Texas has a head-to-head win over Tennessee So is the proper way to do it to take Texas and Tennessee and bump them both up and then drop Bama to nine And then think about how weird that is if you had Alabama ranked somewhere and then they beat LSU on the road Convincingly and then they dropped Although technically they would say that's not how that's happened What's happened is we wipe the slate clean every week and then we re-rank every week But still no one thinks like that everyone thinks about rising and falling the green arrow up the red arrow down So I got I got no problem if you want to go with the head-to-head thing I don't know if the if they're gonna be as close as they are here in the rankings Tuesday night They should be close for all the for all the talk about Bama be in number five Remember what the main bullet point was Jesse. It was well We got to put Bama that high they blew out number six Kentucky on the road Close Kentucky was number six at the time Well, Tennessee just played number six Kentucky and they handled them pretty thoroughly So all the bump Alabama got prior to last week Tennessee and theory should be getting here Excited waiting with baited breath to see how the committee sees it Tuesday night But don't forget Texas is in that mix So if you can't just go blind head-to-head Alabama Tennessee you got to triangulate it So you get Texas in there too Texas Bama haven't played Texas Tennessee have what about Ohio State look at the box guys at 21 Chad hey Chad he said Ohio State's way overrated Okay, first off way overrated. I don't know about that But anyway, he continues he said Ohio State feels like a team who lacks any sense of desire to be playing football let alone win While I cannot totally disagree with the second and third part of that submission there the first part is way overrated Now here's what you have to do you have to practice some discipline Chad You can't just look at Ohio State and judge them based on the Ohio State scale Yes, by Ohio State standards Ohio State is in the mud right now. They're in the ditch. They're over there barely breathing But you don't judge Ohio State based on Ohio State standard you judge them based on the other teams out there right now And you have to calibrate it properly. So when you're ranking these teams Ohio State being at 21 I think sounds pretty right their losses are at Texas at USC in Oregon. There's Texas at eight Oregon's at 18 and USC's at 15. They've got three losses against top 20 teams and by the way They've got a win on the road at number six. They've got a win. I was not even in here yet. Jesse. We got to get Iowa ranked Six I missed it completely. So they've got wins at 16 and They've got a win at number six. So you can't just say mom. They suck. Yes, they're falling well short of expectation But man 21's low enough. They dropped 10 spots 21's plenty low enough. I think we can't judge Ohio State by a loan scale next up It's crept back in the allegation my favorite allegation of the year is crept back in Kangarooobick's cube is this guy's name? Good choice there. He said if Georgia be in number one over you talk Doesn't prove to you that there's SEC bias. I don't know what will Well, I conducted an investigation on this today and I concluded that yes, there is SEC bias and Here's about the long and short of it. The SEC's the best conference in the country this year It's probably not all that close and Georgia being the best team in that conference is getting a lot of credit That's it Jesse. That was the investigation. It's a one-pager just very very quick one-page brief Georgia's better than Utah. I would put Georgia ahead of Utah. I just can't bring myself to have a problem with this And by the way, Utah's number two in the country So I don't really think this is anything to get all that upset about I don't here's what I'm trying to say Not everything that you personally don't like is the result of a conspiracy or a bias or some agenda Sometimes things just are so Georgia's ranked over Utah because A lot of people just think Georgia is better than Utah and Georgia has a better resume than Utah. I think Georgia has a better resume than Utah. I'd put Georgia ahead of Utah. I wouldn't fight you if you had Utah ahead of Georgia, but I wouldn't personally have them above Georgia because Georgia's got winds at Bama and at Ole Miss and I think that's better than anything Utah has done. Utah's best win came yesterday. They are going to get a ton of credit for it. They should get a ton of credit for it. But going into Tuscaloosa, even if you want to discount the win at Ole Miss and I don't know that that's fair, but even if you want to discount that, Bama going in Alabama or Georgia going in Alabama is a really, really big deal. They've got the loss, of course, which Utah doesn't have. If we want to go straight up, winds and losses and we want to rank teams like pro sports, okay, that's not proof of SEC bias. By the way, SEC bias clearly exists. Sometimes it's warranted. In this case, I just think it's warranted. The SEC is a conference in out of conference place 10 and 2 this year, the big 12, 6 and 7. That also probably enhances the case for Georgia there. I don't even care about that part, but I know a lot of people when they're trying to come down to figuring out whether I'm going to put this team from this conference over that team from another conference, they go out of conference, head to head records and stuff like that. So, if you're interested in that sort of thing, even there, the SEC has the edge this year. Next up, Wake Forest, according to many, including Blaze Cuts, quote, "I know Wake just played Marimack this weekend. Boy, did they." That was my words, not his. He said, "These rankings are relevant, but tech being ahead of Wake Forest is pretty dumb." I thought I agreed with it, Jesse. When I first read it, I said, "Man, you're right, because I'm looking for reasons to boost Wake Forest." So, Wake is still not top 10. Their only loss is to Miami, pretty competitive game, a few weeks back. They would chipper to Marimack. More importantly, they would chipper to Virginia the week before. In fact, a lot of would chipper in lately. There's just a red spray all across the backyard of Jake Dickert, every team thrown in the wood chipper. Tech has two better wins than Wake does right now. It's not Wake Forest fault. They're playing who they have on their schedule, but Texas Tech beat Utah in Arizona, or beat Houston in Arizona. It's just better than whatever Wake's had the opportunity to do. Now, the reason I say it that way is because I would really like to see Wake get those opportunities because I think they've come through. The reason I believe that is they're not squeaking past teams. They're blowing people's doors off. That's what a good team does when they play inferior competition. Unfortunately, the way the schedule got dealt this year, Wake doesn't have a lot of opportunities, and then they do play SMU this weekend, so that's a good one. I know the profile of SMU isn't quite to the degree it was before the Syracuse lost, but that'll still be an opportunity for them. I want to agree with you, I just have trouble putting my red stamp of full endorsement on it. And lastly, Peggy said, "Do the AP voters know Oregon beat 15 and 17?" Maybe? Maybe not. So Oregon's 18 right now. Yes, they beat 15, USC in their own building. And then, when you start to ask yourself, how is the committee judging Oregon? I think that's going to be an interesting case study, committee AP voters, because I think that logic sometimes overlaps, sometimes it doesn't, but it's worth talking about. So Tuesday night, we'll see what Oregon is after they just dusted Ohio State. How far do they jump? There were 23 last week in the playoff rankings. If they jump up, maybe a couple spots more than people expected, and we start hearing the committee say stuff like, you know, this team with Dylan Ryola is a different team. They're starting to get hot at the right time. They're starting to find themselves. We think they're a different team now than they were blah, blah, blah. And if they start to traffic in that kind of language, be careful, because if they do, that means Oregon's ceiling is a little bit higher than people thought. And Oregon still has Michigan at Michigan State and Washington. I've got them winning all three of those games. So I don't think Oregon's done losing. So I think they're going to be a nine and three team that have to have some things happen for them to go to the big 10 title game. I still think that have to have some stuff happen to go to the playoff. However, it's out of the inner realm of possibility, but it's not beyond the outer realm of possibility that Oregon is still in that conversation. So to draw it back to the point that was just made there, Oregon's played number 17 already. Okay, if Boise keeps winning, that does nothing but boost Oregon's resume further. And if USC keeps winning, that does nothing but boost Oregon's resume further. The question that you start to ask is, well, if USC's already ahead of Oregon, Oregon needs a team ahead of them to keep winning, but how does Oregon at any point jump that team? I don't know. I just think you figure out that bridge when you come to it. But I'm interested, Oregon's 18 here, really want to see where the committee has them and relation to where the AP has them. You know, I was mixing in a fair amount of playoff talk there. I think I got to update my playoff predictions. I have my master playoff predictions. I can't come off of those. I'm just married to those from the preseason, but in the interest of actually figuring out how this is really going to work out, I'm trying to update this every week. It's difficult/impossible to do because Ohio State just changed a lot because a couple of weeks ago, I was at the opinion, Ohio State is not going to make the playoff. But then like mathematically, they still had the best odds. So you kept them on the periphery of the bracket, but they're out of it now. They're done. And so you got to ask yourself about Ohio State. You got to ask yourself, is there a team that's just going to get Red Hot? Probably like a top 10 roster type team? Are they going to get Red Hot in November? Texas could be that. Alabama could be that. Then you got to ask yourself, okay, if Oregon just goes on a little bit of a tear here that started a couple of weeks ago and they end the season hot, does Oregon have an outside shot? Southern cowl. That's another team. I rode off. What if they go to Indiana and win this weekend? That kind of shakes everything up. And figuring out if UCLA is going to drop a game like the most likely path. I still think this, as I'm trying to figure out the bracket here, is I've got UCLA in the big tent title game. But I do think they're going to lose a regular season game somewhere, maybe the USC game. So like I'm trying to imagine if the committee watches them lose to USC, but they still go to Indy. And then they lose to Indiana in the big tent title game. Their last two games are losses to end the season, but those are their only losses. I don't think 11 and 1 UCLA going into the conference title game would be any lower than, I don't know, like five, six, seven somewhere in there. So I don't think they're going to drop out if they lose a conference title game, no more than Alabama dropped out last year. But I'm trying to figure out where the committee would place them. If they lose one regular season, one conference title game, I still believe in Indiana. I still believe obviously in Georgia, everyone believes in Georgia right now. The big 12s tough because I'll tell you, I'm not showing you the rankings quite yet. I'm going to show them to you just a second. But I got the big 12 being a one bid league at the moment. And like last week and two weeks ago, I was trying to paint the picture for three bids. And it's still technically there, but it's getting a little, a little muddier as the weeks go on. Jesse, what happens if Iowa finishes 10 and 2? I think they're going to be in. I am soft on that immunity right now, but it's a soft yes. It's a lower case. Yes. For Iowa, Wake Forest, we already talked about this, but we're going to have to keep talking about it, especially if Wake goes to SMU and wins this week. That's their highest hurdle remaining, right? Like clearly, that's their toughest game remaining. If Wake goes to SMU and wins, you're going to have to start asking yourself, what happens? If they're done losing in the regular season, they're only lost as to Miami, they're 11 and 1. Then they go to Charlotte and they get beat by Miami again. And that's their resume. Kind of like Brigham Young last year. They go to Texas Tech and lose and that's their only loss. Then they play Tech again in the conference title game and they lose again. Committee dropped them out. Would the committee do that to Wake Forest this year? Where would Wake go into conference championship Saturday ranked? Would they be ranked 10th or 11th where you know the committee's got the rug under them. They're just ready to yank it or could some craziness happen and Wake goes into that Saturday ranked like 8th because does this very tough to be dropping a team for spots over a conference title loss? It's Kentucky fading like are some of these teams fading. So here's the best I can do right now on guessing how these rankings are going to shake out. I am going to go with Georgia to when the SEC have been on that for a few weeks. Guess I don't have them losing another game right now. So I put them at one, same with Indiana, got them not losing another game. So Indiana is two, Georgia's one. Give me Utah as the big 12 champ right now, Utah also done losing. So Utah's third, Notre Dame's done losing, I have got them fourth. So correct me if I'm wrong, Jesse. rules. this year is that the top four seeds get the buys no matter what. It's not just conference champs. So we have a world here where Notre Dame does not play a conference title game and Notre Dame secures a top four seed therefore they get a first round buy. Now Mitch is shaking his head because Mitch it just kind of dawned on you didn't it even though you knew the rule but you hadn't really thought it through. I don't think a lot of America has thought it through either. But Notre Dame if they're top four seed and if they're done losing they probably will be a top four seed that's my guess. Notre Dame is going to give them a first round buy. Go ahead and come to terms with that or maybe the committee sees it differently. After all they did have them all the way down at 11 last week. Jesse maybe that was the calculus. Maybe they had him so far down not just to make sure they fell out of the playoff if they lost but to make sure if they won they didn't vault up so high that they get a first round buy. Now that would be a conspiracy. Okay number five I wrestled with this. This is where I'd have ACC chant Miami. If Notre Dame's ahead of them the head to head theoretically prevents Miami from being vaulted above Notre Dame here unless we'll end securing a first round buy unless you just drop like Utah all the way out to six or five or something like that. So I've got Georgia Indiana Utah Notre Dame is the four top seeds. Therefore the first round buys Miami is my team at five. Bama is at six. I've got Texas at seven. UCLA is at eight. Now in this scenario that is an 11 and two UCLA. I got LSU at nine. So LSU cannot lose anymore. LSU's got to run the table. So they're going to have to beat Texas. They're going to have to go to Neeland and win and who do they have Arkansas. I think it is to close the season something like that. So this would be a three lost Texas at seven two loss UCLA at eight of three loss LSU at nine. I've got Tennessee in the playoffs at nine and three as the ten seed. I have got Iowa at ten and two is the 11 seed and Jason Ackon New Mexico because you can't just say the team you have to say Jason Ackon New Mexico at 12. So before we show the bracket to make sure I counted this Jesse that would be three three lost teams from the SEC in this playoff. That yeah I think that's how it would fall right now. Now I am pretty confident that if the schedule worked out that way. So in if Texas does finish nine and three and LSU does and Tennessee does I think they're all in. The question is does the schedule work out that way or does LSU like lose to Texas Saturday to incur their fourth loss but then they go to Tennessee and then it does the bumper cars go the wrong way for the SEC in other words. But if it shakes out like that I think all those teams are in there and of course you're going to have people who say no three lost teams belong in the playoff brother. You sacrifice the ability to have that stance the moment you expanded this to 12. So I don't even want to hear that because you know where I stood on this a long time ago. Okay here's what that bracket would look like right now. Some saucy matchups here LSU goes to UCLA in round one. New Mexico is headed to Miami. So that's really what we need to see is we need to see Jason Ack turn loose down there in I mean it it's coral gables but it's not because that's not where they would play the game but really he would just be in the entire 305 down there. That's that's where he would be in the 305 bowl. Texas hosts Tennessee Iowa goes to Tuscaloosa. Give me LSU over UCLA. Give me Miami over New Mexico. Bama over Iowa Texas over Tennessee. So the bracket would fill out as such we would have a couple of really really interesting matchups here. So LSU and Georgia would play in the quarter finals. We would have a rematch of last night. We would have Notre Dame Miami in the quarters and I've got Miami winning that rematch with Malachi Tony. I've got Georgia over LSU on the other side. I've got Texas beating Indiana. I've got Alabama beating Utah and here's how quickly this is shifted for me. Just a week ago I had one SEC team in the semis. Now I got three out of the four as SEC teams. I got Georgia versus Miami with Miami winning. I've got Texas versus Alabama with Texas winning and I'm still taking Miami to win the national title. It's just over Texas now. I think it's bold of me to believe in Steve Sarkiesian like this but he talked to me yesterday through the media. Sark sent a message through the media and he said no one expected us to win this game yesterday at Missouri. I didn't. I didn't expect him to win. So in this in this world here where Texas doesn't lose another well it loses one more game but they're in the playoff. I think they're just I got to count on them getting hot at the right time. That's kind of what I'm counting on. So a hot Texas is going to be really hard to beat but give me Miami still winning the national championship. That's where I am right now.

Horrible day for the Ramanoodle Express yesterday. Horrible. And what do we do when we got to get right? What do we do when they're when losing is not an option? What do we do? We go to the Ramanoodle Express and we bet Southern Mississippi. That's all you can do. That's what I'm told. That's what people very close to me. That's what people in my own home are telling me when in doubt go with the eggs. So let me stress as emphatically as I can if this goes right good for us. If this goes wrong there will be no more Savannah State in the live chat. Maybe in my life. I don't know. But Southern Miss plus 17 and a half is apparently the play. Now, Pres, you were with Savannah State and I a couple of weeks ago. When she made a power play to try and get the don't tread on Saturday tour to go to Hattiesburg on a Thursday when we host a show for the James Madison Southern Miss game. In her words it would be the best decision that we could ever make. You remember this. You were in the backseat and you were kind of agreeing because you want to go see JMU. Since then Billy's lost two games so you lost interest and they got drug. Southern Miss got drug the other night, right? And I did not hear a word about it. I don't want to claim front runner. I don't want to throw that term out. That's hateful. But we are going to the well with Southern Miss. That's who we're counting on to pull us out of the ditch. Southern Miss plus 17 and a half. Great night. Great weekend. And now we're in the November stretch. So the air is then one fall step and that could be it. You could fall off the tightrope. You could be street pizza. Ten floors below. So let's all be careful. Let's be focused. And let's have a great month here. We'll be back Tuesday night until then for Director Bradley, producer Jesse M. Josh Payt. Take care.
