Emergency Reaction to CFP Rankings
00:00:01
Speaker
In today's trouble with the snap, we will be hosting a emergency podcast, giving our initial reactions to the college football playoff rankings release. Roll the intro. Next statement. And in 2003, the Tigers captured the BCF. He's going to try and run for it.
00:00:32
Speaker
Snap that shocked Cam Rising. Now he breaks it down and rolls out, Rising. Step out and gets absolutely demolished. Arch, I don't want to alarm you. He has trouble with the Snap and the ball is free. It's picked up by Michigan State State on what sticks and then he scores on the last play of the game. Unbelievable.
00:00:59
Speaker
Hello, everybody.
Introducing the Hosts
00:01:00
Speaker
Welcome back to Trouble with the Snap. My name is Colton Deutsch. As always, I am joined by the Renaissance man and the king of college station, Will Shemansky, on this special emergency episode. Will, how's it going today? I'm doing well. How are you doing, Colton? I'm doing pretty well. I'm pretty excited about some big news. UT volleyball is advancing to the next round of the tournament. Absolutely. That's the best news that came out of Austin today, isn't it?
00:01:29
Speaker
Yeah, look, I mean, we talked about it. Well, I know you've been really good on locks of the week up to this point, but you did bet against the Longhorns. I was drinking the maroon Kool-Aid. It happens to the best of us. Look, it's fair. I mean, we try and keep it classy on this show with us being kind of a rivalry, but I'm definitely going to kind of bask in the glory of this.
00:01:50
Speaker
Texas volleyball victory over the Aggies. I hope you know, yeah, it's okay Yeah, I mean y'all won you earned it clearly I mean no questions asked you you were just the better team and it is what it is Although we did steal the first set. We were feeling good for a moment there Yeah, I mean something you can really build off of I think so we'll see I yeah the middle did not watch much of the game but I Mean sounds like
00:02:17
Speaker
I mean, I'll just say that Aggie Volleyball was able to make the dance for the first time in four years with the first year head coach and Jamie Moyer. So that's a pretty impressive turnaround. So I'm expecting some big and exciting things coming out of Rio Arena for the Vols to come.
00:02:32
Speaker
But in the other news, I'm sure you probably saw or didn't see yet, I don't know.
Controversy: Texas In, Florida State Out
00:02:38
Speaker
The college football playoff rankings came out about an hour, hour and a half ago, give or take. And the first top two, of course, was pretty locked in, but the final two,
00:02:52
Speaker
the three and four spots were pretty much up for grabs between a handful of teams. And ultimately, it was your Texas Longhorns that came down with one and Alabama that came down with the four spot over an undefeated conference champion for the state Seminoles team. So Colton, just what are your initial reactions? What are your thoughts? How's your excitement, of course, with the Longhorns making it? Just how are you feeling about all this right now?
00:03:19
Speaker
Yeah I mean obviously I'm really excited being a Longhorn fan my entire life. It's kind of when I was younger it definitely started out kind of in the glory days and then yeah kind of 13 years of wandering around in the desert so this year has been a lot of fun and I'm very excited to get to be in the playoffs.
00:03:38
Speaker
Yeah, as far as kind of the whole rankings go, I mean, like you said, I think Michigan and Washington there was the pretty obvious one and two. And especially after Texas winning the big 12 and Alabama beating.
00:03:50
Speaker
Georgia, I think it was only right that Texas was probably going to be locked into the playoff considering that if it was between UT and Bama, Texas would have to get the nod considering that they did have the head-to-head win over Alabama and Tuscaloosa. So really kind of as far as the four spot goes, it was pretty clearly in my opinion down between Florida State and Alabama. And honestly,
00:04:13
Speaker
As a cultural fan that watches the games, I'm happy Bama's in. I think that's a better matchup than Florida State would have been against Michigan. But I just really don't feel right about a 13 and 0 ACC champion Florida State being left out, even with Jordan Travis breaking his leg. So I don't know. I just think it's, I feel really bad for the Seminole fans. And I understand if people say it's the four best teams, I get it. Florida State without Jordan Travis is not one of the four best teams.
00:04:44
Speaker
But look, injuries are a part of the game. They won all their games. Bama didn't. So I think I would have had Florida State in there. But what are your initial thoughts? Yeah, no, I agree with everything you just said. Michigan and Washington, both undefeated, both conference champions, clearly that was strong enough to get through to the 1-2, no questions asked. They've just been that good and that consistent throughout the entire season.
00:05:13
Speaker
As for Texas, as much as it pains me to say as an Aggie, I totally understand. I get why they earned it. They deserve it as well. And then that four spot, it's just absolutely crazy.
The 'Eye Test': Subjectivity in Playoff Selection
00:05:29
Speaker
So I agree with what you just said a moment there. I think Alabama as of right now and pretty much between what we saw yesterday from Alabama and Florida State in their conference championship games, there's no doubt in my mind that the Crimson Tide will give a better matchup to the number one overall team in the country in Michigan than Florida State. However, just considering the entire body of work the entire season up to this point,
00:05:52
Speaker
It's just such a head-scratching decision in my opinion for the committee to leave out an undefeated Power Five Conference champion Florida State.
00:06:03
Speaker
I get it, but at the same time I don't want to get it. It's just such a hard pill to swallow and I'm not even a Florida State fan. I don't even have ties to that school, but I feel so bad for them because injuries are a part of the game and there's nothing you can do about it. But just the way that they got shafted in the end, it does not sit right with me.
00:06:29
Speaker
it just doesn't feel good for college football as a whole, you know? I mean, at this point, it's kind of like, what's the point of even playing games anymore? Somewhat, because they clearly won all their tests, no matter how big or how close of a score it was. But at the end of the day, that didn't matter. And it's just such a bummer for them. And I feel really pissed. And I just
00:06:53
Speaker
I just feel bummed out for him and there's nothing you can do about it anymore except for just grind your gears, I guess, but here we are. Yeah. I mean, I think we're definitely on the same page here. It's just, it's really hard because I just think there's so much of what the committee does is kind of opinionated. Like, you know, when you talk about style points and the eye test, it's, it's very subjective. And I don't think that anyone would disagree.
00:07:23
Speaker
that Alabama is playing better right now than Florida State. But at a certain point, when you talk about resumes, and that's why Texas is in, because a resume. Texas has looked good, but there are other 12 and one teams like Alabama, but Texas has the resume. That's why they are ahead of them. And I think the problem is that when you look at resumes, when you look at top 25 wins during the schedule, those are all facts. Those are all things that you can see and you can point to. The eye test is just opinionated. And look, I mean, with Florida State,
00:07:53
Speaker
They were an underdog in yesterday's game. They were, I believe, one and a half point dog before kickoff. And I mean, look, like you said, injuries are a part of the game. If you're a great team, you find ways to win. You look at a lot of the teams in the playoff this year and I'll point to Texas, Texas lost, Quinn Ewers. They found a way to win games without him. It might've not been pretty, but they found a way Florida state. They were dealt a bad hand. Jordan Travis got hurt in a game that they were down to against an FCS team.
00:08:23
Speaker
They come back, win that game. They play Florida on the road, back up quarterback, first start. They get down. They find a way to come back and win that game by two scores. Then you go play Louisville with a third string freshman quarterback who's never started. Louisville's won 10 games this year. They are a favorite. You find a way to win. I just think, and not to mention Florida State played LSU at a conference. People could say, oh, well,
00:08:50
Speaker
You know, what maybe, maybe LSU didn't meet expectations that, you know, they went nine and three, but Florida state killed them. So look, I, like I said, as far as being a football fan, Alabama, Michigan will probably be a fantastic game, but I really feel for the Seminole fans. And I just, I don't think it's right. I think if you lose a game, then you're kind of, you don't control your own destiny, right? Bama lost the game.
00:09:18
Speaker
And I don't know, I think if you went out, if you're undefeated in a power five conference, you deserve to be in. I totally agree. I absolutely agree. And I cannot tell you just how sick and tired I am of hearing the word I test be thrown around whenever comparing college football teams for playoff spots. I get it. I totally understand why it's a thing. It makes total sense. But at the same time,
00:09:42
Speaker
I'm just sick and tired of people going on and saying, oh well, this team passes the eye test even though they have a worse record or their body of work isn't as good as this other team. But since they pass the eye test, I'm going to put them in now, so on and so forth. And that's exactly what happened with Bama. I mean, to be fair, Bama does have
00:10:00
Speaker
yesterday they pulled off probably the not probably it is uh the best overall team win in college football this season was yesterday when they beat Georgia and snapped that 29 game one streak um but just just in general just that whole eye test kind of concept um
00:10:18
Speaker
I'm just I'm so sick of it and I don't know if you saw the clips whatnot from a booger McFarland earlier today during the CFP show he was saying that he truly cares about like the the concrete set in stone numbers and records whatnot over the eye test he was calling like a beauty pageant things like that
00:10:35
Speaker
Um, and I completely agree with what he was saying. I mean, I, I don't, I'm not a fan of the whole, I test beauty pageant crap. I, I'm a fan of actual proven work and proven records and clearly Florida state at the end of the day, had a better record overall than Alabama did this season. Um, I mean, I don't want to come on here and sound like I'm bashing Alabama at all. I mean, they're a great team and.
00:10:56
Speaker
without a doubt, one of the top four in the country, in my opinion. But at the same time, if the committee were to do what was right, you just can't leave Florida State out. You just can't. And the other thing with Alabama is, and like we've been saying, I think them has definitely a chance to win two more games and be national champions. But
00:11:19
Speaker
I mean, look, people are saying, look, I mean, Alabama is so much clearly better than Florida State, which they probably are. I mean, I think they definitely are, actually, now that Jordan Travis is out. But, look, I mean, Alabama needed a miracle to beat Auburn. They lost to Texas, obviously, South Florida. They did not look good against. They had a tight game against A&M and Tennessee. So it's not like Bama has just, and Arkansas as well. So it's not like Bama has been dominating everybody, right? And so, I don't know.
00:11:50
Speaker
I get it. They win the SEC, they're 12 and one. They are a very good team, but I just think because at a certain point, why are we playing the games?
00:12:01
Speaker
Yeah, I totally agree.
The Value of Games in CFP Selections
00:12:03
Speaker
It's just like, what's the point of, you know, playing, playing all these games and, you know, you winning every single one of them and especially like tough, like how you open up the season against LSU with a tough non-conference opponent. Like clearly that doesn't matter anymore. It's just, it's just such a mind boggling decision, but I don't know.
00:12:22
Speaker
And I guess I could look at me and let's say what if Georgia would have won yesterday, but I don't know Carson back broke his leg.
00:12:33
Speaker
Yeah, I don't know. I still think just because Georgia and if they would have won, that would have extended their win streak to 30 games. And clearly Georgia is just an absolute wagon. So I still think they would have gotten in, no question. They probably wouldn't have been the number one team. Well, actually, I don't know. The committee, as we all know, people love to claim SEC bias. So they very well could have been the number one team that they won yesterday.
00:12:58
Speaker
But either way, even if someone like Carson Beck would have hypothetically broken his leg in a win yesterday, Georgia would have still been in no question. The thing that sucks too is if you watch, looking back at the Florida State Louisville game last night, Florida State's defense was playing out of their minds. Their defense truly was playing like a college football playoff defense should be playing at this point in the season. No questions asked. And I get it, everyone points to the Jordan Travis injury. That clearly is their Achilles heel this season.
00:13:29
Speaker
you know Jordan Travis went on Twitter as soon as this news broke about an hour and a half ago and said that he wish he would have actually broke his leg sooner just so everyone could have seen just how good this team is without one player and quite honestly I agree with that you look at those two
00:13:48
Speaker
Stud wide receivers they had that have been producing all year. I don't care who's throwing the ball to them They're still gonna produce and then obviously as I was just saying that defense was just lights out incredible last night So it's it's just crazy to me it really is No, and I think you brought up a great point and look, I mean
00:14:07
Speaker
Styles make fights and if you're floristate That's the exact type of game that you wanted to play last night And if you're a great team you make like you're kind of able to dictate the way that that your opponent plays in floristate having a Freshman third string quarterback playing their first game. I mean they did not want to get into shoot out with the Cardinals The defense stepped up dominated and a wildcat quarterback at times making plays and so yeah, I mean it's
00:14:37
Speaker
It is really unfortunate for the Knowles, and it's just kind of tough too, because there's not really any even type of scheduling in college football. I mean, it's not Florida State's fault that LSU lost three games. What if LSU was 11 and one, right? I mean, it's, I mean, as you did all you could, I mean, you scheduled a tough non-conference opponent, you dominated them, and then you win your power conference.
00:15:04
Speaker
So it's just it's messed up. All right. I feel like we've explained for a stay quite a bit. Do you want to talk about the other three teams that made the playoff?
00:15:14
Speaker
Yeah, I mean, I kind of wanted to ask you this. I think this is one of the better playoff fields, if not the best. Absolutely. I think every team has a legitimate chance of winning this whole thing. Absolutely. And this this playoff field being so great is just a true testament to how good and how many good teams there were in college football this year. Because without that depth, you know, there wasn't like
00:15:39
Speaker
At any point, there wasn't necessarily a team. You're like, oh, that's a true juggernaut, just plowing through people. I mean, maybe Michigan, of course. But in years past,
Playoff Matchup Previews: Michigan-Alabama & Texas-Washington
00:15:47
Speaker
we look at teams like Georgia, we're like, oh, they're the heavy favorites to win it all. A couple of years before that, or it sprinkled in between, they were like, oh, Alabama, heavy favorites to win it all. Every now and then, you have Ohio State as number one, so on and so forth. They're like, oh, they're the heavy favorite.
00:16:00
Speaker
This year, there wasn't really like that heavy style favorite that we're so used to or what we've seen so much in the past. I mean, yeah, you could say Georgia because they were ranked number one for so long, but clearly they're not even in the playoff anymore. So, yeah, I mean, this year has just been awesome. It really has been because it feels like as I was just explaining a second ago, the playing field has been wide open.
00:16:22
Speaker
And clearly Michigan, Washington, Texas, and apparently Alabama were all able to seize the most of their opportunities and have the ultimate shot to win the college football's biggest prize. No, I mean, I'm fired up. I mean, I think when you look initially at Michigan and Alabama, you have two awesome defenses, just going at it. And just curious, I mean, is this Michigan D-line going to be able to contain Jalen Bilrow?
00:16:52
Speaker
I don't think that, that Milra was fantastic by any means against Georgia, but he found a way to get it done against a great defense. And I don't know. I mean, is Alabama going to be the team that can stop Michigan on the ground? Are they going to make Michigan and JJ McCarthy kind of toss the ball around a little bit more and then looking at Texas, Washington, the remount to the Alamo bowl last year. I think this game could be a lot of fun. This is two offenses that have been really, really clicking and.
00:17:20
Speaker
I don't know if the Texas defense has faced a team as balanced as Washington is all year. And I don't know that Washington has faced a defensive line like Texas is this year. So I think you have two semifinal matchups that could be instant classics.
00:17:33
Speaker
So my initial reaction to these two semifinals, I think Michigan-Alabama would just be like a classic Big Ten style slugfest, you know, like 24-17, something like that. And I think the Texas-Washington game will be the exact opposite. I think that it will be a ton of points scored between
00:17:52
Speaker
just because of how good both offenses are. I realize that Texas defense is stout, one of the best ones in the country. And Washington's defense, while they've certainly been kind of spotty at times, clearly they're still good enough to help lead their team to an undefeated season. I just think that the Texas Washington game will, shoot, I feel like both teams could easily score like 60 points in this game.
00:18:14
Speaker
when it's all said and done. That's not going to happen, but that's just how I feel about this, if that makes sense. I just think the offense will just reign supreme in this game, no questions asked. Yeah, and it's funny because going to the Al-Mobile last year, obviously, Texas had a couple guys sitting out, like Bijon Robinson and Roshan Johnson, but I kind of felt that way about this game last year, and it didn't really end up being that.
00:18:38
Speaker
But I'm definitely with you this year. I mean, I think Texas is better offensively this year, clearly. And I think that Washington is better as well, just with a whole other year of all those guys playing together. So I think it could be a lot of fun. And yeah, I think I'm with you on the Michigan-Alabama game, too. I mean, I think that is going to be a real defensive battle and might just come down to whichever quarterback can make the most plays.
00:19:07
Speaker
I'm incredibly excited to watch that Michigan, Alabama game. It will truly just a clash of titans. That's exactly what it is. Clash of blue bloods, if you will. In the Rose Bowl, nonetheless.
00:19:20
Speaker
the granddaddy of them all, I believe. Um, is it the granddaddy or is it, uh, it's a granddaddy mall. Yeah. Okay. Just making sure I got that right. Uh, I apologize, but, um, yeah, I, uh, I, I'm just so, so excited to watch that game and I'm actually kind of pissed that I got to wait till the end of the month. I mean, December just started and I got to wait till right around new year's to watch these games. So that's, that kind of sucks, but it is what it is. Yeah. I mean, it's going to be awesome. And the one thing is.
Agreement on Top Four Teams
00:19:47
Speaker
We obviously talked a lot about Florida State. I do think that Florida State should have been in, but as far as the four best teams, I do think the committee got it right. Yeah. And I think that that leads to some really awesome playoff matchups. Yeah. No, I, um, I think they got it right as well. Um,
00:20:08
Speaker
Just no matter how much it sucks. It just it sucks so much, but I do think they got it right as well. And that's that's pretty much all I'll say about that. The way that the committee drags it out is so funny. It's such a TV thing. I mean, they do one, two and three. And then instead of four, they they go to six, six, six and then they'll do four. Yeah, it's.
00:20:32
Speaker
it's crazy yeah dude it's like watching like it's like a netflix show it feels like it's it feels scripted for like part of it you know and they know that we're all gonna watch it so i have to i have to uh ask a question though because reese davis brought it up at the beginning of the broadcast he said the guy who punches in like all the computer graphics for tv is the first person in the entire country to know the rankings how much power do you think that dude had in that moment when all those rankings came through and he had to punch him in the computer
00:20:59
Speaker
That's so funny that he's the guy. He's probably some tech nerd that's just so excited. He doesn't even watch football. Yeah, he doesn't even know who Alabama is. He just sees the logo. Just for that two to five minutes or however long it is, he truly is the most powerful man in America. I'd probably say he's more powerful than Joe Biden in that little moment, like the president of the United States. That dude's got it.
00:21:27
Speaker
I mean, because in a way the president still kind of has to answer to certain people, right? Yeah, exactly. And I mean, this guy, this guy does whatever he wants. Yeah. I mean, just that, just that, um, that feeling like that power trip that he must have for that little instant moment must just be incredible. Yeah. I, uh, I have a question as well. Cause I think, and this is not to say that, look, Michigan's a really good team. I don't think that they're scared of anybody, but.
00:21:55
Speaker
Their reaction when finding out they were playing Alabama instead of Florida State was pretty eye opening to me because it's pretty funny too. Yeah. I mean, look, Florida State is a much easier matchup without Jordan Travis clearly than, than a fully healthy Alabama. So more of your kind of initial reactions. Cause that was, that was pretty interesting to me whenever I saw that.
00:22:15
Speaker
I thought it was hilarious one. That was my like true initial reaction. I saw it and, you know, they show like the Alabama logo pops up on the TV screen and you just hear all the groans and moans and kind of like the, Oh, yeah. I mean, there was this audible gasp that you could kind of make out from the video. And I saw a couple of players doing a little surrender Cobra with the hands on the head. Yeah, I did. It was funny.
00:22:39
Speaker
So I think my initial reaction to that, well, one, I could explain that. But once I collected my thoughts and all that, they certainly, I think Michigan certainly thought they would have a bit of an easier time because they thought they were going to match up at Florida State. And to be fair, I thought they did as well. I think you also agree with me at least last night, thinking that it was Florida State and that four spot.
00:23:06
Speaker
And so going into today, they're probably like, yeah, we're certainly going to be the number one team in the country playing the number four team, most likely be Florida State, this, that, no big deal. And then, of course, how the committee does, it feels like year in and year out, they decide to just throw a curve ball and be like, surprise, here's Alabama. And so
00:23:27
Speaker
I don't necessarily think it through like a complete wrench into Michigan's plans because they are still that damn good of a football team. But yeah, I'm right there with you. The reaction just kind of speaks for itself a little bit.
Georgia's Surprising Playoff Absence
00:23:41
Speaker
I don't necessarily think that they're scared considering how good they are and how solid they've been the entire season. But I certainly would feel a little bit more uneasy about playing Alabama than someone like Florida State. No questions asked.
00:23:56
Speaker
Another thing, would you have given any consideration to putting Washington at one? That's a good question. Probably not. I don't think so. Just because of, quite honestly, in my opinion, that comes down to the final game of the season when Michigan beat Ohio State, who at the time was a top four team in the country looking for a playoff spot.
00:24:23
Speaker
I think that just Michigan's overall track record as well going undefeated in the Big 10 like that compared to the Pac-12. I get it. The Pac-12 was incredibly strong this year. But at times, Washington certainly struggled with games they probably should have won. OK, they went undefeated.
00:24:38
Speaker
And the games that they won, they certainly struggled, most notably against Arizona State at home. That was kind of eye opening. I get it. Michigan struggled on the road towards the very end of the season. But I just think when you look at the whole complete body of work in the entire season up to this point, yeah, I think Michigan was certainly the number one team. Yeah, that is very fair. And I don't want to harp on the committee too much, because I know that we talked a lot about Florida State.
00:25:08
Speaker
I once again, I think it's so dumb that Ohio State was even ranked ahead of Alabama and Texas last week because they weren't even in the conversation. So that's just kind of... I think that it's really dumb that the committee had Ohio State
00:25:29
Speaker
over Texas and Alabama last week because they weren't even in the conversation. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. No, I got you. Um, how did you, uh, how'd you feel about Oregon? I guess being up in front of Texas as well, like going into last week. I thought it was, I thought it was dumb that they were ahead of Texas going into last week, but I also understood and accepted that if they had been Washington, they did deserve to get in.
00:25:56
Speaker
So going into this week, I was really just under the impression that Texas needs to win and have either Florida state lose or have Alabama win. Yeah. Luckily that's me. The Longhorns have that fall through for them.
00:26:09
Speaker
So I have a question because we could play the hypothetical game all day. We really can about certain scenarios, things like that. So in a hypothetical scenario, in the Pac-12 championship, say Oregon just narrowly went on to defeat Washington, right? Say Oregon won that championship, then Georgia would have beaten Alabama, things like that in the SEC Championship. Was Texas still strong enough at that point to maybe sneak into a spot there?
00:26:38
Speaker
Like the four spot. Do you see what I'm saying? So in that scenario, is it between Texas and Washington?
00:26:44
Speaker
Yeah, so in this scenario, Texas would have still won the Big 12 championship. But let's just say, hypothetically, if Oregon would have narrowly defeated Washington and Georgia would have taken care of business against Alabama, do you still think Texas would have snuck into a four spot? I know they're the three spot now, but do you think in that scenario, they still would have? Yeah.
00:27:13
Speaker
I think in that scenario, I think Texas would still have to get in because if you're looking at a 12 and one conference champion versus a 12 and one non-conference champion, I just think that you have to go with the conference champion. And I kind of want to go back to what you mentioned about Georgia earlier and them dropping because obviously I think we both agreed that they shouldn't be in the playoff. It's just so crazy because I think any other year, if Georgia loses like they did yesterday, they're still in the field 100%. This is just not the year to go 12 and one and not win your conference.
00:27:43
Speaker
I couldn't agree more. And that's the thing, too, is that it's kind of bizarre, because the past few CFPs, Georgia's been there. And clearly, they're the back-to-back reigning champions. I mean, that won't last anymore at the conclusion of this college football playoff. But it's just kind of weird to not see them there. Yeah, and I think
00:28:07
Speaker
neither of us thought they were gonna get in, but still seeing them outside of the top four, just seeing that big G not in there.
00:28:16
Speaker
It's pretty wild considering the last two years. Absolutely. So it's, well, currently at the time of recording, it's 147. So we won't know the full top 25 for a little less than an hour. So I guess we'll break that down in certain bowl games, whatnot in the next episode, no question. Do you have any more final thoughts, sayings, questions before we close out?
00:28:44
Speaker
I think that's it. I mean, I'm just obviously sad that regular season and championships are over, but I think this is a really good top four for the last year of this kind of iteration of this playoff semi-final deal. So I think people should really enjoy all these games, even though I do think Florida State should have been in, which I'll stop harping on.
00:29:10
Speaker
Yeah, I think this is a really, really fun playoff deal. How about you? I absolutely agree. I mean, this is probably the most, as I was saying earlier, these past few years, we've kind of just grown used to seeing one team just be a true juggernaut. And everyone is just trying to compete at the same level as them. The past few years has been Georgia. It's been Alabama in the past.
00:29:37
Speaker
Um, just things like that. And so you don't really have that this year. Um, it's, it's as wide open as it's probably been since the CFP started 10 seasons ago. Um, I really think that, uh, out of Michigan, Washington, Texas and Alabama, like any of those four teams could easily win this. It's just ultimately comes down to who makes the, makes the big plays and the big situations. Um,
00:30:01
Speaker
But yeah, this is as wide open as it's been and it'll be a lot of fun to watch. So I'm really excited to get these games going.
Conclusion and Call to Action
00:30:08
Speaker
Shoot, about three and a half more weeks.
00:30:14
