What an amazing season it has been. But we are now at the end, and we are going into the playoffs. Now, remember, obviously things have changed over the past few years. It went from the BCS. Then it went to a college football player for four. Now we're up to 12.
00:03:45
Speaker
So, um you know, four teams are going to have a buy. Indiana, the number one seed. Ohio State, the number two seed. Georgia, Canteen and Dirty Mojo's Georgia is the number three seed. And Texas Tech is the number four seed. They will get the buys. So we'll pick those games after we go through all of the first round. But we're going to go through the first round here.
Bracket Predictions and Betting Discussions
00:04:05
Speaker
The games here, we're going start with the two games that are most likely to not be as competitive.
00:04:11
Speaker
Oregon, number five, Oregon versus number 12, James Madison. And number six, Ole Miss versus number 11, Tulane. Then we will talk about Number eight, Oklahoma. number are number We'll talk about the other two. We'll be close. Number eight, Oklahoma. Number nine, Alabama. And number seven, Texas A&M versus number 10, Miami, the lone ACC representative. We'll go ahead and go through. We're going to give you all of our bracket predictions. You can take it and do your little ah bracket pulls and all that stuff. Just make sure you join ah good ones where they're not, you know what, I wasn't about to say something clever. I think you know where I'm going. I know where you're going.
00:04:48
Speaker
We talked about that one today. We we talked about that one. it's i know we I saw the email come in and I was like, I don't know. Maybe take 16 off the top. it would take sixteen on the top me take eight three entries off the top. All right. Right. All right.
James Madison vs. Oregon Game Analysis
00:05:07
Speaker
Let's get it going. Y'all let's talk about first. Since most of us here are from Virginia canteen. You're the lone one. Not. We will start with the Virginia team here first. So it's number five, Oregon versus ah number 12. Yes. Go ahead. Hmm. I got one thing before we start. please
00:05:23
Speaker
think I don't know if can do a wager or anything, but ah do we talk about that? Are we doing a wager by any means? Not that, you know, we're not we don't enable gambling. We're not saying you should gamble or anything like that. But ah if we do a hypothetical wager, is anyone down for that?
00:05:39
Speaker
Nothing crazy. I am down. Yeah, let's let's do it. um Let's remove that first. cause I got the other one coming up. 25 shekels. Who knows? Whatever.
00:05:50
Speaker
much yeah um so okay so What we can do is I sent some ideas in the group chat, but I think there was one where you just picked up the whole bracket. We could just do that one and all go in, you know, for the equal amounts and people will fall over peach and then just let it ride out.
00:06:06
Speaker
No, I was saying between each other, all of us, like who's to have the best one out of us? Yeah. yeah from Oh, my bad. my thought you meant like, ah you know I don't know where my head was. You're good. When you look at the group chat, though, I put two options in there that i that I had got, and they have like point systems and everything. So we can do either individual games or the whole thing is at home.
00:06:25
Speaker
Gotcha, gotcha. Okay. we've But we've agreed, so we'll decide it from there, and we'll let you all know later. all right, cool. Let's go ahead and move it in again to this first game, James Madison versus Oregon. This is Saturday night at 7.30 p.m.
00:06:40
Speaker
James Madison, a lot of people not happy with their inclusion into the CFP, specifically as we talked about on Sunday Showdown, another shameless plug, please turn in Sundays after the day games. ah Notre Dame is going to be the most mad out of that bunch There are others that had a a a quarrel, if you will, as well. But James Madison was the one they chose along with Tulane. They chose two group of six teams. And they are now going up against a very heavy hitter from the Big Ten, number five Oregon.
00:07:13
Speaker
um And I just have to say this because this is this the only team I found um in this in this first round that was ranked in the top ten offense and defense.
00:07:25
Speaker
um So Oregon is just, you know, on another level. Anyways, let's go ahead and start with you, Clubber D. are your thoughts on this game? Oh, you know, we got the underdog going against the big body school. You know, it's one of those, ah is it could be it can go either way. It can be the Colt Brennan-led Hawaii going against Georgia against Smacked. Or it can be the... um Oh, no it's it's head coach of New Orleans, ah Boise State beating Oklahoma, you know, Adrian Peterson, Kellen Moore, you know, so it can go either way. All right. But since this is the only team representing Virginia and that's where, you know, we're from, not since the days of Maven winning tough enough has someone representing JMU like they're going to represent this week.
00:08:14
Speaker
All right. Okay. I'm going JMU. What? I'm going with you. What? Coach is calling and is doing great things and they're still on top.
00:08:26
Speaker
So that that that that tutelage, that that recruiting, that that coaching, it's still there. Okay? I'm going with my upset, Jamie. You like it or love it? Damn, Daniel. Damn, Daniel. Shout out to Mason. Damn, Daniel. Damn, Daniel.
00:08:44
Speaker
Jeez Louise, what? That is crazy. The first pick of the day comes from Clubber D, and it is an upset. Oh, my goodness, what is happening? Let's go ahead and show you the bracket here so you can see what we're talking about. JMU there at the top versus Oregon.
00:09:00
Speaker
Humber Diaz picked the lowest seed in the bracket. that' saw was gonna be maybe may If you win that, that would be a great start for the for the bracket wagers. If you lose that, you will also be in some trouble. don't trust Oregon.
00:09:17
Speaker
Shout out to whoever this is. This looks like spam, actually. That's why it that's why I ignored that's why the right so that. something. Don't worry about it. Keep that moving. All right, cool. So, um again, here, when we're looking at these two teams, JMU's defense is pretty weak, right? But their offense is pretty good. Their offense averaged 46 points a game and 7.2 yards per play in its final seven games. So they were getting a lot of long plays, driving efficiently. But, again, as I mentioned,
00:09:47
Speaker
The Ducks are in the top 10 in both offense and defense, which is going to make this very hard, no matter how good your offense is, if you can't stop Oregon's offense. Dirty Mojo, what are your thoughts?
Tulane vs. Ole Miss Matchup Preview
00:10:00
Speaker
Yeah, so i like I'm not even going to hate on your pick, to be honest. that's That's a fun pick to look at. That's a fun pick to, you know, where we we love the underdog story, right? That's the classic American thing. We we we go up for the underdog.
00:10:12
Speaker
And I do not completely disagree with it. I kind of agree with it. I think that JMU can go in here and shock the world. They are putting up a lot of points. Unfortunately, their their schedule is ah a pretty weak schedule. If they were in the ACC, they wouldn't even have been in fifth place. so i mean Right. I mean, their their only loss was to Louisville. I mean, i mean Louisville actually played pretty pretty decently this year. um But for me, it goes back to Oregon. You know, Oregon had trouble. They had to beat Penn State in double overtime. When Penn State was on the ropes, they weren't no good. They did lose to Indiana, but i mean i mean it was 30-20 Indiana game.
00:10:53
Speaker
We can you know decide on that one. That was a one good one, too. But then the Iowa game was also a low-scoring game that they did win. um As far as it's concerned, depending on...
00:11:04
Speaker
the the The traditional high-powered Oregon team, if that traditional high-powered Oregon team that comes out, if you remember, i can't remember if it was last year the year before, when Liberty was the hot team and Oregon beat the shit out of Liberty. You know i'm saying? They just showed, like, look, you guys aren't ready for this this type of football yet. So is that what we're going to see? Are they going to take advantage of a a smaller team that's now becoming big? But I do like what you did say, Deanna, about recruiting.
00:11:30
Speaker
Bill Napier is going to be there. He's their new head coach, right? He is. imagine Could you imagine if JMU beats Oregon, what recruits from Virginia, from this area, from the DMV, that has decided to say, holy shit, we can go down there to JMU.
00:11:46
Speaker
He can do what we got to do. That would be a big pickup for that program. You know i'm saying? Right now, I still got Oregon winning this game just because of that powerhouse potential. But I think it's going to be a really good fucking game. It wouldn't surprise me if this game goes to overtime because JMU can score a lot of points. But if it gets out of hand, it's going to get out of hand very fast. I would see it going to overtime, but don't be surprised if it's 28-3 beginning of the second quarter, and it wouldn't surprise me at all.
00:12:13
Speaker
Yeah, I mean, I could see it either way. I would love to see JMU win, right, because obviously I don't care about Oregon and JMU's a Virginia team, so I would love to see that come true. It's just, again, as we mentioned, they will have to stop Oregon's offense and – Their defense just isn't very good. So even though, and you just mentioned this, right? We we talked about their offense. JMU scores touchdowns on 71.2% of their red zone trips and allows TDs on only 51.6%.
00:12:42
Speaker
So when they get in the red zone, at least their defense tightens up a little bit. and makes it a little harder. So that could be something. JMU also converts 47.4% of their third downs, which ranks 18th in the nation and allows opponents just 28.7, fifth. So they're very good on third and fourth down as well, kind of tightening up. So they give up big plays early and then kind of tighten up when they really need to. So that's then kind of break may or might may not be good. What do you think, Canty?
00:13:12
Speaker
ah Here's the thing about um James Madison, man. They're part of the SBC East. I think they play like Georgia georgia State, Coastal Carolina, Georgia Southern teams of that nature, that caliber. But as as Dirty Mojo just caveated, Napier is going there. He's going a great recruiter. He's going to do good on both offense and defense on both sides of the ball.
00:13:31
Speaker
Here's thing. They only lost one game. They lost to Louisville early on, and then they kept catapulting and built, and they built upon the duration of the season. But here's the thing. Here's what I got to say.
00:13:42
Speaker
Dan Lenny, Georgia boy, he came from under that Nick Saban tree. Man, it's hard to beat guys that have been cultured and have been shaped under a guy like Nick Saban. Yeah, that's true. my My thing is this, man. or Oregon, they're seeking revenge. They're going come out hot on both sides of the ball.
00:14:01
Speaker
I got to go with Oregon, man. got to go with Dan Lanning and what he has at Oregon. And he has something strong, something some solid. Yeah. It is going to require a lot of luck ah for JM. A little bit of luck and a lot of of will.
00:14:15
Speaker
um yeah That being said, JMU is good at keeping their turnovers down. So they're going to have to in this game because every possession that they give up is probably a possession that Oregon is at least going to get a field goal on.
00:14:31
Speaker
because their offense is explosive. And yes, you you mentioned old Oregon, right? They're not that, right? They're not the old Oregon that used to run up 72 points, but they are Oregon in the Big Ten who, yeah, they play close against Iowa and Washington and all these teams down the stretch, but all those teams are winning teams in the Big Ten. They have a harder schedule in the Big Ten and showed that, yeah, they struggled with Penn State. You're right when they were, you know, but they also only lost to Indiana by 10, and that was their only loss. So we're looking at all those things, you go a little back and forth. I like one thing you did say there, though, about Liberty.
00:15:06
Speaker
ah Liberty, we remember, Oregon absolutely blasted them, as Clubber D said, 45 to 6. JMU actually grades out better. than Liberty, especially on defense. But again, Oregon is an elite team. Dante Moore,
Alabama vs. Oklahoma Team Analysis
00:15:23
Speaker
I'll get into this more later. As much as I don't want to see him win because he played at UCLA and then transferred, I got to take Oregon in this one. I've got to take Oregon in this one. um I mean, I'm thinking at least 10, 14 points at least.
00:15:38
Speaker
Yeah, what is the spread in that game? give you the ah spread, it is a 47 and a half. Over under the the Oregon Ducks are projected to win by 21 and a half. Woo! I'm telling you, listen, man, it's that's ah it's a just is tough one, man, because it's it's it's either a win by a lot or is it's a close game. It's it's it's my it's my theory of To be honest with you, they want to expand this again to more teams.
00:16:06
Speaker
And you've got to have a reason to do it. And when these underdogs fight and do something, then it's going to give more of excuse. So, you know what? We need to have more underdogs in. And more money. So, this is going to either be the Oklahoma versus ah Boise State type thing, or it could be Hawaii versus Georgia.
00:16:26
Speaker
But at the same token on that one, if JMU comes in there and gets straight hammered, then next year's stuff is going to be like, bro, do we let this smaller team in? That's the opposite of that, right? Exactly. That's what I'm saying. Or that's why we have the two-lane matchup also. The two-lane matchup is similar to this one. One of those two teams got to show up.
00:16:49
Speaker
oh It has to be – I don't know if they lose, but it has to be a close game. that's Yeah, good yeah for for for them to want to keep putting them in. That's a really good point. That's a great segue, too. Let's go ahead and and move on to that game. We do have, as I mentioned, Tulane, and they are going up against Ole Miss. So Ole Miss, we know Lane Kiffin left already. We know all ah the hullabaloo, as they say. um And, you know, he's not coaching. So they've got the interim coach in there that's gonna be coaching the team. That's a lot of upheaval.
00:17:17
Speaker
Could that be an issue for them in this game? it is Saturday at 3.30 p.m. We've seen ah six rematches this season, gentlemen. In five of those instances, the loser of the first game all won the second. And I'm one of those people, and you'll hear me say this a couple times today, I'm one of those people that does agree that you don't usually beat beat teams twice, and if you're in the NFL and you do, it's definitely you don't beat them a third time in the playoffs. It's like you learn kind of thing. So with that being said, these two teams,
00:17:49
Speaker
have played already this year when Ole Miss beat Tulane back in week four. Exactly, Canteen. Thank you so much. So we're going to see this again. Again, oh I'll give you the spread first real quick so we can get that set up for everybody. But the spread is 56.5 is the over-under, and Ole Miss is favored by 17.5 points.
00:18:13
Speaker
points. um Canteen, we're going to start with you on this one. Actually, let's start with Dirty Mojo first and we'll come to well we'll come to you on the next one. What would you like to with Dirty Mojo on this one? Hey, listen, man, it might be a rematch, but are we really going to call their rematch?
00:18:28
Speaker
Ole Miss obliterated Tulane Sure, they did. right is it this isn't This isn't Georgia losing to Alabama by three points and and then they win. No, no, no, no, no. no as much as i As much as I would want to say, again, the underdog story, you want Tulane to win, Ole Miss is going to beat them. And I will say this.
00:18:49
Speaker
Trinidad Chambliss is an awesome player. That game against Tulane, he had 100 yards rushing and 300 yards passing. They got to stop Trinidad, and I don't think that they can.
00:19:03
Speaker
This is the same Ole Miss team that Georgia had to score 17 points in the third in the fourth quarter excuse me to win by, I think it was like seven points, six, seven points.
00:19:14
Speaker
So this is a scary team, and I can honestly say this. If Lane Kiffin was on that sideline along with their office coordinator, because he took off with them too, I think Ole Miss would have been probably the favorite to win this championship game. I mean, to to win the college football championship.
00:19:28
Speaker
I think that's why Lane Kiffin really, really, really wanted to coach it. Because that yeah team is a very good team. They're a phenomenal team. My question is this. Do we get a something to fight for, Ole Miss, something to prove to Lane Kiffin, like, you you shouldn't have left us? Or do we get the, woe is me, Ole Miss.
00:19:48
Speaker
Man, Lane's not here, Ole Miss. And they lose this game. So that's the part that I'm looking at. um I do – I cannot wait to watch this game because i want to see how they perform. Because if they do win this game, they got to go to Georgia.
00:20:01
Speaker
Which, like I said, they had Georgia's ass on the ropes. 17 points in the fourth quarter. Where, where i mean I mean, Canteen, you probably can agree with me. We're looking at this game, the whole game. It was back and forth. I mean, it was like... Off and 10 defense, correct.
00:20:15
Speaker
You're right. Right. So, I mean, you can take it with me. Had this been Lane Kiffin Ole Miss coming into Georgia, I would be, like, worried. I'm not even good worried, Yeah. yeah Yeah. You want to go to jump in now, Professor? Yeah, ahead. Hey, here's the thing. lost Miss forty five ten but here's the thing.
00:20:34
Speaker
Pete Golding ended up stepping in, becoming the head coach, kept some of the staff, retained all those guys, man. I think Ole Miss is going make a statement. They're good on both sides of the ball. You know, as Dirty Mojo said, the deep offensive coordinator left, all these things happening.
00:20:49
Speaker
But then I look at Tulane and what where they where where theyre where they're at, man. They play like South Florida, Memphis, East Carolina, UTS. So, Man, my whole heartburn against the whole CFP is how you how do you allow teams like this? And I don't want to go too far to deep in, but you you you miss teams like Notre Dame, but Notre Dame's not the conference.
00:21:09
Speaker
But i I will say this, man. that That's a problem. Here's the thing. If Ole Miss shows up, I think they're to put up big numbers. I think they're going to do good. And I think that Lane Kiffin is an afterthought at this point.
00:21:22
Speaker
He's an afterthought. I think that the guy they got the right guys to head coach in the seat, retain some of the staff until the season is up until until to seasonesar's over with. I think Ole Miss is going to do good. I think they're going to well, man.
00:21:34
Speaker
well what you mean I don't I'm sorry. i don't No, you're good, bro. Lane Kiffin would have been an afterthought, and he was, but you know what the media is good at doing.
00:21:44
Speaker
Right. The media is going to be talking about this, and you cannot unhear it. You know
Miami vs. Texas A&M Game Predictions
00:21:50
Speaker
what I'm saying? You're going to hear about, oh, Lane Kiffin, there's Lane Kiffin. So the coach is to have to do a really good job on keeping that shit out of their fucking locker room. Golden, yeah, yeah. Definitely. Social media, no questions, no questions. He has to do that. And if he can do that, this team is a very, very talented team. They can win it all. They can win it all.
00:22:11
Speaker
and And the thing, Dirty Mojo, I like about it is you took the defensive coordinator, put him in the head coaching position. That's why think he's going to thrive. But as as we as we go back to it, I mean, you look at JMU,
00:22:25
Speaker
JMU and Tulane. I mean, we'll talk about this at the end, I guess, Professor, but it's it's some things I got to say about that too, but we can go ahead forward though. Let's get a comment here at the bottom line sports canteen. Your brother flow tuning old miss struggle to beat Arkansas and Washington state. I mean, struggle.
00:22:43
Speaker
Okay. I mean, you're not wrong. um Every, every team is going to have tough games, but that is a, that is a, that is a fact. Now the good part about that is both of these teams have been good in one score games. Tulane was five and Oh, and as a dirty Mojo just mentioned, the only loss um that, that, Ole Miss had by one so one touch or one score was Georgia. They're five and one. both these teams are really good in close games. The problem is it ain't going to be close. that is right the The new coach is Pete Golding. He was their defensive coordinator. So their defense is just going to be as dominant. And by the way, just to let you know, they weren't as dominant as the offense. The offense is number 18 in the country. But the defense was number 40 in the country out of 132 26 or whatever So, Culver D, what are your thoughts on this game?
00:23:32
Speaker
um Just to touch on Notre Dame real quick. I know they're mentioned, but they got out the 44th strength to schedule, and they they lost the Miami game. So, tough, tough. That's what killed them.
00:23:42
Speaker
Tough dogs. Yeah, exactly. I mean, it it is what it is. But ah i'll say I'll say this. um I feel kind of like what ah what Dirty Mojo said. We're going to get the the other half of Ole Miss. Like the fans feel the venom. Everyone's pissed off that Lane just left and and took his people. So now it's time to prove that we belong and we don't need you. Okay. So I feel like sinner ah similar to another Trinity that i don't believe me, just watch because it's going to be butt whooping on Tulane. Okay. I mean, it's to belt to ass and it might be with a buckle too.
00:24:16
Speaker
Hey, hey, but professor, check this out too. You know, a lot of people haven't talked about this because it's being overshadowed. Let's not forget the Tulane coach took off too.
00:24:26
Speaker
He's the next Florida coach, but they're allowing him to coach in the playoffs. Right. that That to me is one of those things too, where I can't stand the fact that the NCAA is allowing coaches to take on another position while they're still coaching a team. I can't, we talked about this. I hope that the NCAA changes those rules and they get rid of that. You can't talk to these coaches until your season is officially done because it's ridiculous to me. But I'm interested to see what he does there for for for the Tulane game.
00:24:52
Speaker
I think Ole Miss is going to route these guys. I don't think Tulane has the firepower. They don't. You can't get 45 to 10 and then come in there. and And absolutely right, Deion. That venom is going to be there now. We can look at the committee and say, this is a pretty funny thing because I, for one, I do believe that Notre Dame should have been in the college football playoffs.
00:25:12
Speaker
I think Alabama shouldn't have been in it, but that's another story. We'll talk about that here in a few when Alabama comes. has to go with money. But i think they I think the committee set this up to have it so that they could beat a team to kind of push it in fucking Lane Kip's face. Like, look what you could have did.
00:25:30
Speaker
Because they could have been playing right now. They should have been probably playing Alabama at the 12th seed or even Notre Dame at this seed right here. But they're not. Made a good point. A team that would have given them a better fucking matchup.
00:25:42
Speaker
You may and not cut your off professor. He made a good point. It's like, how do you decipher? How do you slate this thing to be right? Right. A three, a three loss Alabama team gets in and Yeah. Yeah.
00:25:56
Speaker
And a three loss blowout in the SEC championship game. Right. Right. now one They didn't even move it down one spot. ah Ohio State lost. i We're going to get to Ohio State lost. and they move go And they moved down one. They moved down one. They moved down one spot. One to two. oh Yep. These motherfuckers got blown out and didn't move a spot. That's bullshit to me.
00:26:14
Speaker
Crazy. I'm sorry. We didn't move a spot. the Omar frozen in the snow. is that I agree, but we all we all know it's money. We all know it's money. 100%.
00:26:31
Speaker
ah that ah Got that Bermuda Triangle Internet going on right now. Amelia Earhart, he said what up to her last week. Amelia Earhart. ah got to Got the Bermuda Triangle going on. They both get mollywhopped. I agree. Look, when you come from the Sun Belt like JMU does, guantte because that's what you asked earlier, you come from American like Tulane does. Yeah, go ahead. No, he said who he said who who got mollywhopped?
00:26:55
Speaker
Oh, no, he's saying both of them are going to, Tulane and JMU. So he said that both them get molly whopped. No, he was talking about Notre Dame or what's called get molly whopped by. thought he was talking about Notre Dame. oh I don't know what he said. OK, I didn't know.
00:27:06
Speaker
So what I'm like saying is that's why you incorporate a team like Notre
First Round Highlights and Future Games
00:27:09
Speaker
Dame. But Notre Dame got to be viable and be a part of a conference because it's crazy how Notre Dame can do whatever in football but in the ACC for basketball, doesn't make any sense, fellas.
00:27:19
Speaker
It doesn't. um you can't and you can them You can't be in the cookie jar with ah you know red paint on it and not get in trouble for that. You're ruining all the other cookies. there you go something They talked to the Big Ten and the Big Ten said you're either in both or not at all. you either you you is you may maybe that make no the The Big Ten told them you're not going to be in the Big Ten for football. I'm original in my analysis. I just make them up, all right? They just sound good in my head. Oh, my God. That was literally right-handed. No, you're right, though, right? So when you're looking at...
00:27:51
Speaker
Notre Dame. They need to be in a conference. There should not be any other independent schools unless you're a military academy. That's the only reason. Navy and Air Force are in... Sure, I'm just saying... I agree you. I agree with you.
00:28:07
Speaker
yeah i'll breing I'm fine if you're putting if you put them in a conference too. I'm just saying they should be the only ones that should be allowed to. Notre Dame needs to be in a conference. It's their fault that they didn't. And because they lost to Miami in that first game, had they been in the ACC and played the same schedule as Miami, man been in hacc championship they would have been viable. look they didn't want We all know they ain't sharing that NBC money. That's all them. They got their own. but about none that but all Y'all can kick rocks and count them all the way down the street. ain't sharing none of that NBC money. ain no worry
00:28:38
Speaker
yeah And so, yeah, when we're looking at this again, everybody said it's going to blow out. I do think that Tulane will, I mean, I want to say closer, but not even closer. It's still going be a blow, but at least I think they're going to play them better this time around ah because of all the upheaval that we talked about, because of the roller coaster that the Rebels have been on with Lane Kiffin leaving, with them instituting the defensive coordinator, with you know Trinidad getting better, Trinidad Chambliss as the year has gone on. I mean, this is ah this is a team that is not excess close as as as explosive as last year, but still very, very explosive and can win and will win
00:29:16
Speaker
without playing. Yeah. All right. Cool. There you go. Let's take another look at this bracket here. We're going move you into the next game. So we are going to talk, what would y'all like to talk first, Auburn, Oklahoma, or Miami, Texas A&M? We'll
00:29:32
Speaker
Just go ahead and go Alabama, Oklahoma. Yeah, team, since you're a Georgia fan, you get to Alabama, Oklahoma, baby. So we're going to start off here. It is the number eight um Oklahoma Sooners playing at home versus number nine Alabama. Two blue blood programs here. But as of the past couple of years, had a little bit of a stumble, right? Oklahoma had a couple of down years there. Alabama last year had a retooling year, still kind of working through this year, as was mentioned by Dirty Mojo. And and and you can't see three wins, maybe shouldn't have even and been in the playoffs. um But, you know, i did I did say all season that there would be a a team with three. I just figure one of the big conferences going. So, Professor, I will caveat on what you just said, man. Three three losing teams ended up getting in. Man, you had an Alabama team that lost to Florida State.
00:30:25
Speaker
They ended up losing to Oklahoma and they ended up losing to Georgia. Another game that we talked about that we yeah was played already that we're having a rematch, right? so So Oklahoma had already beat them head up, man. 23-21. Here's the thing, man. I mean, when we look at the CFPS about money, ratings, and different things like that, but here's what I'm going to say, man.
00:30:48
Speaker
I think Oklahoma going to show up, show out at home. I like Brent Van Aples. Brent Van Aples is a product of a double swing out of Clemson.
00:30:58
Speaker
Man, alaba Alabama is kind of like on a borderline type of team for me. they're They're good on both sides of the ball, but they don't capitalize and make things happen when they need to make happen.
00:31:10
Speaker
I'm going with Oklahoma with upset. I'm going with Oklahoma with upset, and I'm going with Oklahoma with upset at home. Technically, not an upset because they're the higher seed, but yes, I do understand what you're Yeah, that's what i'm going with, man. um Just to let everybody know there to update ah them on Oklahoma Sooners have the number seven defense in the league. So their defense in the country is elite.
00:31:33
Speaker
ah But... ah John Mateer was injured for a lot of that a lot of the season when he had surgery in his thumb. The offense is only 93rd. That's ah not so great, right? and But it's the same with Alabama. When you look at Alabama, their offense is a little better, number 69 in the country, but their defense is a little worse, number 20 in the country.
00:31:53
Speaker
So um two very, very tough defenses going head-to-head here. Clubber D, what say you? Well, I think this is the going to be the game that's going to make a lot of people happy. All the Alabama haters that are mad that they were in there, I feel that they are going to be very joyous at the end of this at the outcome of this. I got Oklahoma, and it's going be that defense that's going to win them the game. Kind of like how when Georgia beat them. When Georgia beat them, that stat came out that every time they had a punch blocks, they lose the game. Yep.
00:32:24
Speaker
For some reason, I think something like that might happen in the first quarter, and that's going to set the tone for the rest of the game. i'm going to Oklahoma and all the Alabama haters are going to be happy, and all ah ah the Alabama sexuals are going to be angry.
00:32:39
Speaker
Thank And there's two Ty Simpsons that we saw this year, right? After they had that dud against Florida State, Alabama ripped off eight straight wins.
00:32:51
Speaker
Why? Because in his first 10 games, he had an 80.6 QBR, completion rate, yards per and catchable pass rate.
00:33:04
Speaker
But in his last two games, he has completely cratered and it had a 55 QBR, 51 completion rate, 3.7 yards per drop back, and 70% catchable pass rate. So his footwork and accuracy have been utterly disgusting the past few weeks, and especially, as y'all mentioned, against your Georgia Bulldogs, Dirty Mojo, in the SEC Championships. Talk to us about what you think about this.
00:33:31
Speaker
ah minus three yards rushing let's just talk start there minus three minus charity why is three yards rushing against georgia's georgia bulldogs and you can watch hey listen i'll tell you like this i'm i'm going with oklahoma here too oklahoma's defense is on fire those boys are moving all over the place they're fast they're physical and check this out the uh the two teams that they lost to were texas the red river shootout that's a big game every fucking year right i mean what what are we gonna talk there team I throw the record out out of the out of the window with that one. And then it moves to the other team that we were just talking about, Ole Miss.
00:34:03
Speaker
none After that, that Ole Miss game, they had Ole Miss. They had to go to Tennessee and win. They went to Alabama. Alabama scheduled them as their homecoming and win. they had to go They played Missouri. They played five ranked teams in a row. Then they had to finish the season against LSU.
00:34:19
Speaker
And they beat LSU. Oklahoma is a damn good team. Their offense doesn't do very much. But that defense is fast and physical. I see the same thing. I do believe in...
00:34:31
Speaker
I do believe in the and and in in the man who presses the buttons. And I do think that there are a lot of people that are saying, this fucking Alabama team should not have been in there, right? I do believe that there's going to be a lot of calls going one way to get these guys out of there because nobody's doing anything. I don't want to say that. I don't want to say that because Alabama already lost to Oklahoma, but you guys are absolutely right. The way that they finished their season against their rivals in Auburn, and like I said, you can throw the records out the window, but he played horrible.
00:35:03
Speaker
Ty Simpson played terrible that game. Against Georgia, he played terrible against them. Now you're going up against Oklahoma, who's had, what, three weeks now? to prepare Two weeks to prepare for you guys?
00:35:13
Speaker
Oklahoma's going to go in there and punch them in the mouth. And this isn't Oklahoma. This isn't Norman. This isn't this isn't in in um in Alabama like the Uscalusa. This is it. i got I got Oklahoma winning this game.
00:35:25
Speaker
I got Oklahoma winning this game by 10 points. Give me 30-20 Oklahoma. Okay, 30-20 Oklahoma. You know what? I'm with y'all, brothers. We're making it the fearsome force. We're going all agree on this because think that it's a tale of two teams. And we talked about it earlier. The quarterback situation has basically been the same except one was injured in the middle of the season. The other one just sucked for a little bit. while both of their defenses are really good. I don't know if it's going to go bad high, Dirty Mojo, just because I think it's going to little more of a defensive battle. I think it will be closer to the score of the first game, like a 24-21, 21-17 kind of thing, because I just don't trust Ty Simpson, especially after that horrible showing against Georgia in the SEC Championship, to do anything against this elite
00:36:18
Speaker
Sooners defense. The Sooners rank 16th in um i sorry that in in red and red zone opponents' TD rate. So they are very tough in the red zone.
00:36:30
Speaker
um Alabama, I mean, what are going to Kick field goals and keep up? ah Yeah, Oklahoma's offense isn't that great, but John Mateer, I'm taking over Ty Simpson all day, every day. Give me Oklahoma. Let's go 24-21 something. Is Jan Miller playing too because he didn't play against Georgia, right?
00:36:47
Speaker
What was that? He didn't play against Georgia. He didn't. No. So, I mean, yeah is he going to be healthy? Is he playing? I don't know. So, I mean, that's that's a big thing too. But, I mean, Yeah, no doubt. Yeah, yeah, definitely a big factor. We'll have to check and see what the injury report looks like on that one. But, yeah, that's ah that's a cool sweep right there. ah We all picked Oklahoma in that one.
00:37:08
Speaker
So let's move on to the next one. We have Miami versus Texas A&M. So here you got the – look, Miami again – The ACC's only representative.
00:37:24
Speaker
ACC had a down year, which did not help in their argument. be back. for wanting, to maybe you will, but I'm just saying, it didn't help in their arguments for wanting to have automatic ah entry into the college football playoffs as the Big big Ten and SEC try to move other conferences out. But ACC did get Miami in. They do have a 10-2 record. They bit did beat Notre Dame, as we talked about. Look, they're not a bad team. They just aren't good late and they make bad mistakes and they also play too slow but that all being said they have the number 26 ranked offense in the country which is good and they like Oklahoma have a very elite defense number eight in the country uh clubby what you got on this one
00:38:12
Speaker
man Miami has that kid Tony who is a that that guy he is freshman. fresh man As a freshman, like he is just something out of this world. um Obviously, I don't know about the quarterback coming from Georgia back. but um like you Like you said, a Professor, the defense is very good. Very good defense. but It's inconsistencies on offense, you know, ah how much they can give Tony the ball. And it was going to to cue in on him and take him out the game and make him not a factor, make Beck beat them. And I think that's what they'll do because think A&M is just a better team overall.
00:38:43
Speaker
So I have Miami, you know, being fighting close for probably the first, maybe the second quarter. Then it's going to a route, I think, starting in third quarter. think I got a and m Shout out, AIL, I'll start with AIL, should have put Texas over Bama. um You know, like Clubber D said, a lot of, in response, a lot of people would would would like that, but let's be completely honest, they they did not play well for a lot of the year. They struggled, especially the offense, and holding, I mean, the offense really held Arch Manning down there at the beginning of the season, especially his blocking defense. when he was pressured all the damn time. So I don't necessarily agree with that, but they should be in contention again next year. All right, cool. So looking at this, because I forgot to give the spread on this dirty mojo before I come to you. So let me give you the spread. It is a 50 and a half is the over under Texas A&M as club or DJ's pick is a three point favorite. What say you?
00:39:45
Speaker
I don't like the way Texas A&M finished against Texas. That was a very poor showing of them. um You know, they, as far as the, The kids are outside listening to the I was like, what's this?
00:39:57
Speaker
As far as that Texas game, um I mean, that showed me a lot. You know, I really wanted to see them go in there and stamp it and and and just completely obliterate Texas so that we wouldn't have had to get comments like Texas should have been in over Alabama.
00:40:09
Speaker
Because Texas is not a good team this year. and they They need to be exactly where they're at, playing, I think, Michigan in some, in what is ah che it, Cheez-It Bowl? I don't know. but um What? Cheez-It.
00:40:23
Speaker
to the But listen, listen, you Marcel Reed is going to have to step up today. Marcel Reed is going to have to step up. He's going have to do this. We do know that Beck has been there. This is the playoffs. Beck has been, you know, he was with Georgia for the last couple of years. Aside from the from them getting snubbed out of that one when they lost the Alabama in the SEC championship and missed that playoff game.
00:40:45
Speaker
He is a person that knows what he has to do. Had he not got hurt last year um in the SEC championship game, he would have carried Georgia through um the playoffs then also. man As far as that is concerned, in in my opinion, when you have that type of ah player who's been in that type of atmosphere, he can propel them. I got man um Miami winning this game.
00:41:08
Speaker
I think Miami is a better team. um A lot of people were talking about Texas A&M and m and and how you know their their their schedule. It was a big thing, especially for the Big Ten. like Look at who Texas a A&M played. They didn't play anybody in this, that, and the third. The only thing I will say is that Miami does have two losses. The one loss against SMU and then the one loss against Louisville. Remember, that game that they lost to Louisville, Louisville ended up jumping into the ranking, and Louisville was a pretty good team. They fell off towards the end of the season, but I got miami Miami winning this game.
00:41:38
Speaker
They're going to – Texas A&M is going need Marcel Reed. They're going to need the win. They're going to need a lot of people. But I don't think that they can keep up with Miami. And you're right. You're right, Deion. That fucking kid, Malachi, boy that kid is phenomenal, man. I cannot wait to see him go against Ohio State. that Him and um the sophomore receiver. Williams. Williams.
00:41:59
Speaker
Oh, that's going to be – Oh, okay. Yeah. but Watch. Miami, Ohio State next week. I got Miami winning in this game. Yes, sir. Yeah, and you yeah you met we talked earlier about the rankings of Miami, right? Really good elite defense, um you know solid offense. Texas A&M is not shabby either. Their offense is actually better number ah right at the same level, number 21 in the country. But their defense is a little worse at number 34 in the country. Still ah a really good defense, just not elite elite. But the Aggies went 11-1. They did play in the Big 12. Their lone loss was the regular season finale at rival Texas A&M.
00:42:38
Speaker
Aggies SEC. Thank you for that. You're correct. um But they're still rivals. are they you the um So that game is kind of like the Red River rivalry that you mentioned earlier, right? You kind of throw the records out because both teams are going to try to play their hardest in that game to try to get that win. You also mentioned – But Texas A&M – Texas A&M was not in that game at all, though.
00:42:59
Speaker
They just did not look good. You can say – mean, Alabama-Arbor in those games, they were in the games. The games was like – Texas A&M did not look good at all in that game. Don't care if it's the record or not. But I think you should – and I agree probably by that end of the season, you probably should have more things in order. But at the same time, I mean, I guess you could say you could have one bad loss throughout the season and it not hurts you that bad.
00:43:22
Speaker
But anyways, so – Canteen, when we are looking here at Texas A&M versus Miami, what do you have? So Miami had two losses, man. SMU, Louisville, right?
00:43:37
Speaker
So when we look at the full spectrum, man, Cristobal. I think Cristobal is head coach, right? Mario Cristobal. Yeah. Then Carson Beck, former Georgia guy, man. I mean, under the circumstances of how Carson Beck left or whatever he did, it's cool.
00:43:55
Speaker
I'm going with Miami man and I and and ah and and i like and I like my Elko I like Elko Elko Elko came out of Duke Elko Elko good dude.
00:44:05
Speaker
I think Miami gonna make a statement to catapult to catapult them to get where they need to be. Yeah. Yeah, you mentioned Mario Cristobal. He really needs this, right, after his failures. Yeah, absolutely. You know, at at his previous two stops. Both of these teams, again, we talked defenses. Reuben Bain was at one point projected to be the number one pick in the NFL draft, still projected projected to be top five ACC Defensive Player the Year, just a fucking beast. um You mentioned Carson Beck. Beck experience. what George Boy. George Boy. He has played in a lot of big games. He has that big game experience.
00:44:39
Speaker
That's great. You as well, ah Dirty Mojo talked on the Texas A&M side, Marcel Reed, right? Quarterback, the one that has gotten a lot of hype. He was also in the Heisman race there for a little bit, played really well. But really the person we need to be looking at at that from that team is their receiver, Casey Concepcion, who has just been fabulous.
00:45:01
Speaker
this season has really been the one that had, don't want to say carried, but definitely helped ah Marcel Reed reach that status where he was at. And so, yeah, I'm, I am going with you two gentlemen and I am going with Miami. I po only one i like it.
00:45:18
Speaker
I think that Miami wins this game. You know, they started the season off beating three ranked teams in a row. um So, you know, I think i think they close it out with the experience on the team, the really good defense.
00:45:31
Speaker
I think it's going to be a very close game. um We talked about the spread there. I don't know. I'd say probably 27-24 kind of game for Miami in a victory. So that's what I'm saying there. And, by the way, I did not give – ah be spreading over under for the last game. My apologies. So for everybody that wanted to know, Alabama um is a ah is a one and a half favorite on the road.
00:45:59
Speaker
um And under over is 40 and a half. So a low scoring game there is what they predicted. oh All right. we're Awesome. Well, there you go. We are through the first round. i hope y'all are enjoying so far. Make sure you hit that like button. you Thank you for tuning in. We appreciate you. Hey, my brother.
00:46:20
Speaker
Thank you for tuning in. Yes, sir, Jersey boy. We know it. Hope you're doing well. Keep your eye on Justice Fitzpatrick next year in Georgia. Oh, I love him. Yes, yes, I'm making Fitzpatrick. I love that pickup for us, man. I love that pickup for us, bro.
00:46:36
Speaker
But I wonder going to play or he's going to play safety, man. That's the only thing. What do you think? Corner. Corner. He played corner in high school, right? Nah, played corner in Georgia. Corner in Georgia. Corner. I love that pick, man. I love that pickup for us, man.
00:46:51
Speaker
All right, cool. There you go. Yes. I mean, like when you have that pedigree in there, that's awesome, bro. Yeah. When you have that pedigree ah in there, in your, in your blood, you know, you're usually going to not always we saw Michael Jordan's son, but usually you have a better chance to be. artist
00:47:11
Speaker
Or Marcus. Yeah, right. Marcus was good. He was good. I think that was more the, yeah, I think that was more like a job or a kind of situation. Oh, I loved my tech, but it's just, you know.
00:47:22
Speaker
All right, cool. Miami can do it. So that gives us our, that gives us the first round. And again, while while we're going through, we are picking the brackets. So now I'm going to show you the two brackets that I do have from Clubber D and myself.
00:47:37
Speaker
So let me move that one and put that up there. There you go. So let's show these a little early. You're going to hear our picks anyways. Oh, yeah. But, As you can see, we got some other games coming up. So depending on who was picked in the first round, gentlemen, you're going to have to move that yourself over because I'm not doing that for you. No problem. This is just to give you a a a shot at what you're going to see. All right, cool. So starting off in that first game, we all picked Oregon. so we all know Oregon. Oh, no, sorry. Climber D picked JMU. So JMU for Climber D. So you have JMU versus Texas Tech, and we have Oregon versus Texas Tech. So since you're the the lone one with JMU, we'll start with you on this one. JMU versus Texas Tech, who is your pick?
00:48:22
Speaker
Okay, first of all, I like a little little story with my stuff. First, JMU used to be in the same conferences as George Mason in the CAA. We played them in basketball all the time. This is 20-year anniversary of Laranega taking George Mason to the Final Four. This is JMU's chance to do the similar thing in the Contra football playoffs. But they won't lose against Texas Tech. They will lose against Texas Tech in a close competitive game to prove that these underdogs deserve to be there. are Okay. I'm going with Texas Tech, but I'm just saying this is the anniversary of George Mason doing the same thing. And they were same conference. That's the only connection I got. And shout out to Tony Skinner, his current coach, for the Patriots and George Mason.
00:49:03
Speaker
But I'm going with Texas Tech. They're doing this for Mahomes' new ACL. a the final four pages there you go i love that that was a great one of you all right ya the dale the snail who up the now the team manager damn right all right cool uh and since we all have oregon versus texas tech dirty mojo we'll start with you who is your pick in that I said this last week. I watched that Texas Tech-BYU game. and God almighty. That was the first game I watched Texas Tech play.
00:49:42
Speaker
And I said, yo, this team is off the fucking hook, man. Those dudes could fucking play. I like Texas Tech. I like Texas Tech beating Oregon all day long. I got to have a little bit extra time to watch, get get their guys healed up. But here's the thing.
00:49:57
Speaker
Texas Tech's lost to Arizona State. And the that's the only loss they had. And their quarterback did not play in that game. He didn't play in that game, right? good point So you look at that. That was what week. that I mean, they probably played, what, six games, seven games after that.
00:50:11
Speaker
They've only allowed one team to score more than um just what double digits against them. I see this team and I'm like, holy shit. I am looking forward to I don't want to I don't want to project.
00:50:22
Speaker
I'm looking for that high powered offense of Texas Tech winning this game. playing Indiana. I can't believe you see that. I got Texas Tech winning this game. But like I said, the only loss that they had, their quarterback did not play in that game against Arizona State, and they barely lost that game. I got Texas Tech winning this one against Oregon. I got this game being a very good, fun game to watch. I got this game 42-38.
00:50:47
Speaker
thirty eight yes Yeah, because we don't spreads on the games out that far, so I can't give you that. But thank for the score. Anyways, James Madison. That's a high-scoring game, right? and I can't wait to see that. hope it is. James Madison, by the way, just – go ahead.
00:51:01
Speaker
I like Texas Tech. I like They look good. There you go. Just let everybody know, James Madison in their yards per play rankings that we've been giving you is number 23 on offense and number four on defense. So JMU, much more elite defense than you can sometimes see on the tape.
00:51:22
Speaker
Texas A&M, on the other hand, or Texas Tech, excuse me, on the other hand, is going to be ranking at number 23 on offense and number three on defense. So two elite defenses here and and two offenses that are just around the same. Pretty good, but not great. um What do you say on this one, Canteen?
00:51:43
Speaker
So we got, who do we have on this Texas Tech versus Oregon. Yeah. Man, take on slaughter Oregon. scoer of my head often here's Here's the thing, man. I love anybody that comes out of SEC. I love Dan Lanning.
00:52:02
Speaker
But take the state, they got something different. Love taste of Texas. It's some separated offense, defense. They're different. think they're going to make a statement.
00:52:13
Speaker
What's the conference, professor? what what so What's Tech? What is Texas Tech conferences? The Big 12. Texas Tech is in the Big 12. So it's like Colorado, all those guys?
00:52:26
Speaker
Mm-hmm. I see what you're saying. They've been through all them guys. You ain't through all them.
00:52:33
Speaker
Yeah. when you say man Okay. Yeah. When, and again, when you're looking at, you know, an Oregon team, which is again, ranked number nine in offense, number six in defense, top, top 10 in both. That's again, pretty, pretty spectacular, especially coming from a big 10 where you have to play all of those better teams. Not that the big 12 doesn't have decent teams. They do, but I mean, I think we all can agree that the big 10 was the best conference in the country this year. um and when you like a big ten You said Big Ten, right?
00:53:06
Speaker
Big Ten, yes, that's correct. Yes, sir. You're great, Professor. And even though I am upset that Dante Moore transferred from UCLA, he is great, and he's been playing like a former five-star recruit. He had 24 touchdown passes, only six interceptions, completing 72.5% of his passes. And this is his first real starting year because he redshirted. He barely played in UCLA, and then he redshirted last year in Oregon. behind Bo... Who am I thinking of from Oregon?
00:53:39
Speaker
Dylan Gabriel. Dylan Gabriel. Thank you, sir. All right, cool. So when you have that and you put that all together, you have the continuity, you have Dan Lanning, as Canteen mentioned, a really good coach. I just... It's going to be a close game. I'm not saying Texas Tech is bad in any way. They wouldn't even be ranked number four. They were bad.
00:53:59
Speaker
But I just... know I just think that Oregon What Nothing. Go ahead and say it, Dirty Mojo. Go say it. Say it. no No, it's not me. It's not me. upper up let Professor, go ahead.
00:54:15
Speaker
I don't know what happened. i Maybe I'm not sure. Anyways, um so Texas Tech does have, as mentioned, a really good defense, just like – I mean, look, Jacob Rodriguez, just like Reuben Bain, is projected to be one of the top picks in the NFL draft. Big 12 defensive player of the year, led the team with 117 tackles 74 fumbles to go with four interceptions. Yeah, um isn't Texas like like in the top five, something like that, with turnovers? Like they're a turnover fucking machine defense, man. Their defense – They swarm, they hit, they intercept, they fumble. They're a really good, really, really good defensive team, man.
00:54:54
Speaker
That being said, I'm going with Oregon. i'm still It's going to be a close game. do agree. But I am going with Oregon over Texas Tech. So I'll be the lone one on that one. Float my ground.
00:55:05
Speaker
Okay. There you go. right. Cool. Let's go ahead and get to the next game. Let bring this bracket back up so I can – See what I'm working with here. So next game down is Alabama versus Oklahoma. We all picked Oklahoma. So that means we all have Oklahoma going up against Indiana.
00:55:24
Speaker
Dirty Mojo, we're going to start with you on this Look, the Indiana, i you know saying? That was a huge win that they had of Ohio State, winning in the Big Ten Championship for the first time in school history. um I look to them to to basically to get back to what they're known for doing, which is scoring a lot of points.
00:55:42
Speaker
Now, they will be going against a really, really good, like we said, the number seven defense in the country, Oklahoma. But I think that the Highland Trophy winner, Mendoza, is going to have that team back to where they need to be.
00:55:52
Speaker
i have them winning this game. Okay. I do believe I'm going to say this. I don't think that Mendoza should have won that. Probably, but never, wherever you want it. I do have them winning this game. I have this game as a similar game to the game against Oregon at 30 to 20 for, for Indiana. um I don't, i don't because Oklahoma has a ah really good defense, I don't think there'll be too much of a blowout. And like you said, we don't know what the spread is going to be, what the over-under is there or anything like that is going to be. But, um you know, we have to mention last year that all four of the bye teams came in out of the that bye they lost.
00:56:30
Speaker
So, um you know, with us picking Texas A&M winning, well, some of us did, you picked Oklahoma, I mean, Oregon. um I think that those teams will be rusty. I will say said that even with the Georgia game that we got coming up next and the Ohio State game, I think teams will be rusty ah compared to the teams that are going play tomorrow and this weekend.
00:56:47
Speaker
So even without that even with that being said, I still like Indiana to win this game 30 to 20. All right, Indiana 30-20. Look, Indiana is no joke, y'all. We know that they're a basketball school, but for some reason, this basketball school is the number one football team in the country, and it's because they played a very good game in beating Ohio State there in the Big Ten Championship. They ranked number seven on offense and yards and number 12 in defense, so almost close to top ten in both categories. So, you know, a very good team there like Oregon –
00:57:18
Speaker
They beat Oregon. They beat Penn State in a gutsy game that you talked about, Dirty Mojo. They beat Iowa in a close game. They beat Illinois. So, you know, they they went through the who's who in the Big Ten, and they've got Fernando Mendoza, who is probably going to be the number one pick in the draft for all. Raiders. I do have a question.
00:57:40
Speaker
Hold on. I do have a question real quick, Hint. Give me one second. Go ahead, bro. Are these games, um are they at the stadiums? are No, these are the – So they they're they're in a – they're not, okay.
00:57:52
Speaker
Neutral. Okay, they're neutral fields. Okay, I didn't know that. I didn't know that. Okay, all right. Yep. Yeah, it's only the the the first round, which I – you know, let's just go into this. I think that's stupid. If you want to make it so the home fans can see and you have more attendance, can bowl game attendance is down, then make it the first two rounds where you play at home. the big the biggest Correct. play too yeah Because if not, then you're letting them go play at a neutral site game. People got to pay money, travel to New Orleans, or whatever, instead of just letting them watch it at home. So if you're going to that, make the first two rounds. It would have been nice, yeah.
00:58:25
Speaker
I can see that. oh So now we're going to you, Clubber D. What are your thoughts on this game? ah i I'm going to chalk it down to coaching. I love ah Indiana's coach. you know and he made them he He basically put them where they are now. After he left JMU, put them where they are and where they're still at. I'm go ah i'm well i'm a agreeing with Dirty Mojo on this 100%. I'm going with Indiana. Obviously, I got them going all the way. don't know the score, but I'm to Indiana on this one.
00:58:54
Speaker
There you go. Canteen, what do you got? Man, I'm going to tell you something. It's all about building a brand and building a product.
00:59:07
Speaker
Indiana coach, where where where was he before he came to Indiana? GMU. damn you it it's it's it's all it's all about stepping on the stepping stone ladders building building building that's how you win professor that's how you win you start from the bottom and you get to the top but i'm not talking about drake or none of that what i'm saying is you build a brand guineana solid now some who who says somebody the quarterback going first round in the draft fernando mendoza is projected to be the time that i'm going to pick
00:59:43
Speaker
He is in some, in some box, you know, it could be, it could be him. It could be a defensive player. Like, you know, if, if for some reason, let's say Tennessee were to get the first pick, they're not drafting a quarterback. So, you know, they may pick defense or, or, or offensive line or something like that. But if it's someone like the Raiders, yeah, I would fully expect him to pick somebody like Fernando Mendoza, especially because he's, you know, in the Tom Brady build, at least like, ah you know, like.
01:00:10
Speaker
and And here's what I'll say, professor, man. Building a brand, man. I like Indiana, no doubt. No doubt. and um um'm I'm going to make it the quad vector. Look, um you know, Oklahoma, we talked about very good defense. So I think they'll at least be able to contain Indiana a little bit, but you can't, you can, you can only, what's the old adage?
01:00:32
Speaker
you You can't stop them. You can only hope to contain them. And that's what's going happen here. They'll they may contain them a little bit, but Indiana should still win this by at least 10. I agree with dirty mojo at least 10 points. Indiana should win this game.
01:00:46
Speaker
All right. Let's move it into the next one. Looking at this, we all picked Ole Miss, so that'll make this easy as well. Ole Miss versus the Georgia Bulldogs.
01:00:57
Speaker
Tanty, we haven't started with you in a while. We'll start with you, and then we'll go to Dirty Mojo. What are your thoughts on your team? Here's what I'm going to say right here, Professor. You're not going to beat Kirby.
01:01:08
Speaker
Kirby's a defensive mind. Pete Gold is a defensive mind. But Georgia has the total package to kick your ass. That's Luger. And that's what we're going to do.
01:01:20
Speaker
Georgia going beat them by at least 10 or better. OK. There you go. All right. good Dirty Mojo, this is your account as well. Listen, listen. He said Kirby Smart is a defensive coach. And he's a defensive-minded guy. He's got that daggone right.
01:01:36
Speaker
Schumann has been having those Georgia boys flying all over the field, playing tough. I know they had a little hiccup against Georgia Tech. I ain't even going worry about that. But they think about like this. They held that quarterback, Georgia Tech, no rushing yards.
01:01:50
Speaker
Georgia Tech's rushing game and that quarterback been dominating all year long. All year Shut him down. Okay? Here's what I got to say, though. Bobo been dialing that offense up for us, hadn't he been catching Hold on, on, hold on. Let me jump in.
01:02:06
Speaker
Because everybody's been trying to downplay Mike Bobo. I wanted Bobo gone in the beginning of the season. I wanted him gone in the beginning of the season. But our dogs have been coming out playing football. We've been throwing the ball. We've running the ball. Gunnar Stockton, in my opinion, has been playing fantastic. He keeps controlling. He's not turning the ball over. He's doing what he needs to do.
01:02:28
Speaker
Georgia is going to go in against Ole Miss, and I don't care what anybody says. Ole Miss, you don't have Lane Kiffin. You had Lane Kiffin when you played him the first time and you couldn't beat him. You're sure as hell not going to beat him without Lane Kiffin.
01:02:39
Speaker
Georgia is going to win this game. They're going to dominate them just like they did Alabama. I got them winning by 14, 17 points. Exactly. Oh, slice the head off. Easy Ole Miss because I got, I got, I got a shocker.
01:02:54
Speaker
I got a shocker coming up. Okay. I mean, I don't, I don't know that. Look, per yards per play ranking.
01:03:05
Speaker
Yes, Georgia is a very good team. um their ah Their offense is not as good in terms of yards up per ranking as o Miss, but their defense is much better. So you're looking at an offensive-defensive matchup here. Defense wins championships, as they say. So if you do have the better defense, you do have an experienced coach, as Canteen mentioned earlier, as Kirby Smart. You do have an improving offense. Yes, they rank 70th in the country in yards, but as you mentioned, down the stretch, they got better and better. Gunnar Stockton started to improve in the second half of the season. They whooped, fucking whooped Alabama's ass in the SEC Championship. What say you, Cleber D, on this? Well, um'm I'm in agreement with two brothers at the bottom and and you next to me. um And since it's the South, instead of belt to ass, I'm going to say S-T-A. That's switch to ass. They're going to... They're to go to the tree. They're going to pick it. My grandma used have you rubbing alcohol. away her yeah dog yeah Louisiana. that bad alcohol.
01:04:14
Speaker
mom that's what's gonna happen o switch to s but we um yeah I mean, I can't even disagree. i agree with all my brothers on here. Look, Ole Miss is a very good team. But I do think with what we talked about before, with all the upheaval, Pete Golding is a first-time coach. Is he going to have to run the defense and have the coaching play calling and all the coaching stuff he has to do? That might be too much for him to handle. Georgia is perennially a powerhouse. Yes, we know that they had a stumble a little bit last year, but they've recovered just fine. um
01:04:49
Speaker
and you know They are one of the favorites to win this whole thing, and I cannot see. um Although I do think it'll be a close game, I think it'll be what – I don't know what game you were talking about earlier, Dirty Mojo, but you said 42-38. That's kind of what I'm thinking here, like 42-38, maybe like a 35-31 type of game. It's close, something like that, but Georgia does game.
01:05:14
Speaker
Like I said, man, if there was Lane Kiffin on the sideline, I'd be shaking right now. I would be. I'm not gonna i'm not even on front because Lane Kiffin had Ole Miss playing really well. that it is It is, to me, college football and NFL football, if you want to think about it, it's a game of coaching. And I'm not trying to take anything away from Ole Miss' new head coach, but you're going to be against Kirby Smart, man, in the playoffs, bro. I mean, it's going to be a rocking stadium. and That's your buddy.
01:05:40
Speaker
Man, golly, man, I just I feel sorry for him at this point. Hey, shout out, Kristen. Thank you for tuning in. Atlanta native

Ohio State vs. Texas A&M Predictions
01:06:39
Speaker
Yeah, I know you're just kidding. Thank you. We appreciate all we appreciate the love. One love to you as well. All right, cool. ah Let's go ahead and get back into this. So moving to the bottom game, we ah we have mia we had Miami and Texas A&M.
01:06:52
Speaker
So let me go back to my notes to see who picked who, just to make sure I got this straight. So I picked Miami. Okay, so Cluberty was the only one to pick Texas A&M. Is that correct? All right, cool. So since you were the lone one to pick Texas A&M, you have Texas A&M going up against Ohio State.
01:07:09
Speaker
Who do you have in that game? I have Ohio State in this one, okay? Ohio State, I think out of all the get all the teams we talk about, the rust that could possibly ah i factor in I feel like this might be the only kind of boring game because I think Ohio State's going to win this in a low-scoring fashion. And I do like those scoring games, but I think the other games might be very more exciting besides Georgia who's going to put a STA. But I got Ohio State in this one.
01:07:37
Speaker
Okay, cool. um Let's move it on. Dirty Mojo, what you got on this one No, no. ah This was this is my shocker. Miami's going to win this game, guys. What? Miami is going to win. No, no, no. We need you on the big screen for that one. oh look you do just look Look, this was the shocker that I wanted to put out there, man. Look, I don't want to – look, I do know last year – Ohio State lost to Michigan in a low scoring game. And that was in the that was before the Big Ten championship game. It was in the rivalry game. They lost in a low scoring game. And then after that, they completely dominated everything else that they did in in the college football playoffs to go on to win the college football bo national championship last year.
01:08:16
Speaker
As much as everybody wants to talk about Miami should not have been in and who they could have got in and what they could have got in, Miami is still a very good team that had one really bad loss, and that was SMU.
01:08:32
Speaker
I'm not going to call the loss to Louisville a bad loss. It's good game but that's a good game. It's a good team. The bad loss was against SMU, where I think Carson Beck had like four interceptions that game. He played completely like shit.
01:08:45
Speaker
But I do believe... Carson Beck is going to go down and go beat Ohio State. I think it is going to be a higher scoring game and a shootout game. And I think that with that experience that we talked about before, Crystal Ball is going to have those guys playing.
01:09:03
Speaker
Carson Beck's going to dial it in. I think it's setting up.
College Football Schedule Strength Discussion
01:09:08
Speaker
a Georgia versus Miami semifinal game. Get the fuck out here. telling you right now. What the fuck is a Gollum?
01:09:15
Speaker
It's monster Frankenstein. Get the fuck out of here. Why don't you get the fuck out of here? Get the fuck out of here and stop wasting yeah yeah mean You better hope that's why your big spoon be like the Undertaker.
01:09:30
Speaker
be in the ground wow okay hey i i love it i love a i love when someone goes bold and that is that is bold i mean i'll say i'll say this i'll say this because lot of people want to talk about schedule i don't think that the big 10 they have a very strong schedule that they that they play right you know saying you can at me you can come at me all you want some of the best teams in the country don't understand i mean I mean, who? It's top-heavy. Hey, fellas, before you do that, I will say this. I got it set up on my phone here, but Seattle game about to come on, so want to make our picks. We're going to do them down before the game so we don't sound cheesy. So, Canteen, who you got in this game? Ohio State, bro.
01:10:18
Speaker
Ohio State. There you go. he's a bit Easy, bro.
01:10:24
Speaker
liberty probably the Oh, how you picked – yeah, you said OSU. That's right. Okay, cool. All right, perfect. ah Yeah, no, I don't know. i mean, for the for wagering purposes, I hope you're right for yourself, but I don't think you're right. Look, Ohio State is is awesome. Number 15 in offense and number two in defense in yards per play, they are just – They are a team that is experienced other than their quarterback and even him played as a Heisman finalist that that should have. So I have OSU in this game, and I don't even think it's going to be close. I'm going to say probably. Can you see what the – can you see what Ohio State's strength of schedule is for me?
01:11:05
Speaker
um Yeah, I can check it. While I am why i'm checking i bought strength the strength schedules, let's go ahead and check the next game. So if we move on to the next one – geez Louise, this is going hard.
01:11:16
Speaker
um Maybe what we should do is do we want to reconvene another week to do the rest? Yes, sir. That'll
Rams vs. Seattle Game Preview
01:11:25
Speaker
work. Let's do that. Because right now it's getting way too confusing. Yeah, that'd be that perfect.
01:11:31
Speaker
Okay, so that's what we're going to do, y'all. We'll come back next week and or maybe the week after. Yeah, it'll probably be the week after. once week Yeah, after the new year. We'll come up right before – because these games aren't until – I believe the semifinals is the 9th and 10th of January. So, yeah, we'll come in that first week of January. We'll run this again, and we'll do all the semifinals, of ah quarter ah quarterfinals or semifinals and finals in national champion.
01:11:56
Speaker
Pre-game show for national final financial championship game. Pre-game show. Yeah, there you go. So, yeah, that'll work. um And then it's for tonight's game, then, let's move it in. We've got the Rams ramsbu going into Seattle.
01:12:09
Speaker
Seattle is actually – hold on, because earlier – let me check ESPN to make sure I got this right. overriter land put him on sideline Seattle is one and a half point favorites and a 47 and a half point over under. Clever D, who you got?
01:12:27
Speaker
Washington right now. but i'm not I'm being non-biased. I want Seattle to win, but I feel like the Rams are going to win now. I look at the quarterback. I trust Stafford any day week. Twice on Sundays over Sam Darnall.
01:12:41
Speaker
There you go. Jordan Rojo. Hey, the way the Rams came back last week to beat the Lions, and I mean, that was that was a fantastic game. You know what I'm saying? you can't You can't put that past but put that as anything. And then to have the um the Seahawks struggle against the Phillip Old Man Rivers-led Wolks team.
01:13:02
Speaker
I mean, you know what I'm saying? it It didn't look good. It's a short week for both of them. I got the Rams winning this one, too. I think the Rams are the better team. But, you know, who knows? yeah We've said some crazy shit before, the next thing you know, we're egging on our face by halftime. But I got the Rams winning this game.
01:13:19
Speaker
Tanteen. Seattle by three. Seattle by three. Yeah, I agree. gotta buy three I think Seattle as the home team with a 12th man there, I do think that the Rams are the better team, but since they're playing in Seattle and it is for the division, this is a very important game as covered. He mentioned earlier in terms of who wins this NFC West. And I think that Seattle needs this game. So I think at home, they pull out the victory, very close game, probably a three point game. I'll probably say maybe 24, 21 Seattle.
01:13:47
Speaker
one seattle All right. Big fourth and one. they's got a big fourth and one. And Seattle's jerseys, like like like Mojo said earlier, they're not bad. They're not bad. They're not bad.
01:13:58
Speaker
I saw picture. I can't wait to see what it is. Isn't their helmet kind of like a chromatic whatever looks to it? It's like a dark... It's like a dark green-ish with a silver, that what like that kind of gray-ish. It's dark green but metallic. It's very... yeah yeah yeah They even got the the painting in the in the middle of the field, there their logo is like that. It's pretty cool. I'm going to go watch it.
