00:01:03
Zack
probably going to get screwed out of a playoff spot again. Just if I had to make an assumption there.
00:01:09
Zack
um But we've got a lot to break down for you today. So I'm excited about it. How are we doing, boys?
00:01:16
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
doing, doing great. Got to see McCorkle Jones play football today for the Jacksonville Jaguars. So naturally it was really fun. Um, all, all 85 yards that he threw four and the multiple picks and random fumbles he had.
00:01:26
Zack
Naturally.
00:01:32
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Cause he is, he's a character on the football field.
00:01:37
Mason
on like a 12 hour bender of watching NFL football today because the last international game of the season, everybody.

Zack
Wow.
00:01:46
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
It was.
00:01:47
Mason
So yeah, but we had one this early this morning.
00:01:48
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
It's a good game.
00:01:49
Mason
It was, it went to overtime, but um I'm making my devotion to the two of you that I will be a better teammate than Deebo Samuel is.
Movie References and NFL Dynamics
00:02:00
Mason
I don't know if you all saw that.
00:02:01
Mason
He was literally like, he hit his teammate and with a long snapper in the neck, like shoved him, punched him, like kind of a like a shove punch.
00:02:10
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Well, that long snapper should have been snapping the ball better so the holder could get the laces flipped so they don't miss multiple field goals and have to go to overtime today. That long snapper sucked at his job. He's probably cut tomorrow.
00:02:22
Mason
Jay community, Moody still hit the game winner, though, didn't he? Was that long snapper snapping the laces out stand or whatever the quote is?
00:02:28
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:02:30
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
He was just, he was home.
00:02:34
Zack
Mason.
00:02:34
Mason
What is it, Jay?
00:02:35
Next Guy Up Podcast Network

00:02:35
Mason
Laces?
00:02:39
Mason

00:02:40
Mason
I said Lace is out.
00:02:40
Next Guy Up Podcast Network

00:02:41
Mason

00:02:43
Zack
Yeah, but who who's the movie who's in the movie?

before we
00:02:59
Mason
that Waterboy?
00:02:59
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Mason, have you watched?
00:03:00
Zack
Before I hear record, Mason made a couple of other egregious movie errors.
00:03:00
Mason
The movie Waterboy?
00:03:03
Zack
That's all the only reason I called him out.
00:03:06
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Mason.
00:03:07
Zack
We were talking about, let's let's peel the curtain back.
00:03:07
Mason
It's a...
00:03:11
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:03:11
Zack
I said, Mason, have you ever watched Raiders of the Lost Ark? Indiana Jones movie. He said, is that the one with Shia LaBeouf in it?
00:03:20
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
It wasn't good at all.
00:03:21
Mason
That one was good until the alien spoiler alert until the aliens like
00:03:26
Zack
Okay, Mason, Mason, we have to cut you off. I think we're losing listeners as to the more you talk about movies, the more we lose listeners.
00:03:33
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah, you make people mad when you talk about movies.
00:03:35
Zack
You just said that that Charlotte Buffon was good and then you didn't like Raiders of the Lost Ark, which is just truly the worst movie take that's ever existed in the history of movie takes.
00:03:48
Zack
Like zero people agree with that.
00:03:49
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
He said he tried to watch it, but it was too cheesy and not good. So he turned it off.
00:03:56
Zack
Yeah, be on the lookout for some content. We're gonna make Mason watch this movie. He's gonna like it.
00:04:04
Mason
I'll give it my best shot.
00:04:04
Zack
That's the promise I'm making to the people.
00:04:06
Mason
Promise.
00:04:08
Zack
He's gonna like it.
00:04:08
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I have a sneaking suspicion that Mason doesn't watch anything other than in game and Infinity War and Fast Five. Like that's it. There's only things he watches.
00:04:19
Mason
I finished Avatar Wave Water.
00:04:22
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Took you a week.
00:04:23
Mason
to It took me a week and then I've been
00:04:24
Zack
It's pretty good.
SEC Quarterback Discussion
00:04:26
Mason
watching Outer Banks Tough and we're going to watch Yellowstone's out tonight so either
00:04:32
Mason
tonight after the pod or tomorrow so I was watching aren't you yeah aren't you proud yeah mm-hmm I was is it is a good it was a good slate yeah that was tough
00:04:35
Zack
Mm-hmm.
00:04:36
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
And you were watching some college football yesterday. You were texting about it.
00:04:38
Zack
You did watch some cards for yesterday.
00:04:39
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I was proud of you. I was like, whoa, Mason's watching college ball today.
00:04:44
Zack
You locked in.
00:04:46
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
You bet Georgia lives. Thanks. Yeah, thanks. Thanks. you you You finally jumped on college football and took the team I had and they lost.
00:04:57
Zack
It's tough.
00:04:58
Mason
It was a tough slate for sure. some ah ah Well, it was a good slate, but it was that was a tough game. I should have been on Ole Miss. Everybody was on Georgia. Anyways, I know we'll be talking about college football, but I just feel like ah why do I tell myself myself like when it's too late, I'm like, why did I not tell past Mason?
00:05:19
Mason
Everybody's on this team. Take the opposite. I feel like arab everybody was on Georgia.
00:05:22
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Hmm.
00:05:24
Mason
I could be wrong, though.
00:05:25
Zack
Huh.
00:05:25
Mason
Everybody was on LSU with the points.
00:05:28
Zack
Mm.
00:05:28
Mason
The whole world was.
00:05:29
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Mm hmm.
00:05:30
Mason
Yeah.
00:05:30
Zack
The whole world.
00:05:32
Mason
um Yeah.
00:05:32
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Including myself.
00:05:32
Zack
They're all wrong. Tough.
00:05:35
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Turns out LSU still can't defend against a running quarterback. I should have learned my lesson when they put in the backup in the Texas A and&M game and they couldn't defend the read option against him. And I was like, no, they'll figure it out.
00:05:47
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
LSU two weeks to prepare. No, Brian Kelly, you're a joke. LSU, you're not, LSU is a program, it's not a joke, but right now they are.
00:05:58
Zack
OK, everyone, I've got to take to put out to the world right now.
00:05:59
Mason
Oops.
00:06:03
Zack
There's been a lot of talk about parody in the SEC this season. A lot of teams with one or two losses.
00:06:08
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
True facts.
00:06:09
Zack
um Actually, a lot of teams with two losses. There's only only two one-loss teams left, and that's Texas and your Tennessee volunteers. But Tennessee is technically in first place in SEC also, if you're curious.
00:06:17
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
<unk>
00:06:24
Zack
So there are... um I think there's a question of. What's caused the parody and I think. My question is, is there actually parody in the SEC this season or
Playoff Possibilities Speculation
00:06:35
Zack
are there just no elite quarterbacks in the SEC this season, which is like why it feels more balanced? Like who's the best quarterback in the SEC?
00:06:45
Mason
Mm.
00:06:47
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Uh, yeah, I mean, but he's not very good.
00:06:49
Zack
Like there's there's not even like a upper tier like yours. Maybe Queen yours is probably the answer.
00:06:57
Zack
But he's not been great, for sure.
00:06:59
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Like going into the year, Beck was a... like I got a lot
International NFL Games
00:07:04
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
of grief ah about this on Twitter because I was yeah making fun of other fan bases that are probably going to take Carson Beck really high in the draft.
00:07:12
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I was like, he's literally projected to be the first overall draft pick. like i don't I'm not just pulling this out of a hat.
00:07:15
Zack
Yeah, not anymore.
00:07:18
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
like He was projected number one.
00:07:22
Mason
So if we go by a Heisman Trophy award standings right now, like betting, uh, it would be Jalen Millrow at plus 1800 is the leading SEC quarterback.
00:07:32
Zack
Hmm He's looking really good at time Sorry, keep going I Mean all those are good players and they've all looked bad at times though.
00:07:35
Mason
Then it's Jackson Dart. Huh?
00:07:40
Mason
Oh, I was just saying Jalen Millrow, Jackson Dart, and then Quinn Ewers would be in that if you're talking about what the books say Heisman wise for The leader right now is still Travis Hunter at plus 130.
00:07:57
Zack
Jill and mill row against Tennessee was horrible. I And um Jackson Dart has ah has also been good at times, but then, like, against Kentucky, he looks very bad.
00:08:01
Mason
and
00:08:08
Zack
is It's just like a...
00:08:10
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Nuss Meyers looked good and he then he's had bad games.
00:08:13
Zack
That's why he's looking very good at times.
00:08:14
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah, it's.
00:08:15
Zack
But then he looked terrible against Alabama. It's such an interesting...
00:08:21
Zack
I don't know. There's a lot going on at SEC, and it's been wild, and there's been ups and downs for pretty much every single team across the board. But the quarterback play has been pretty...
00:08:33
Zack
Like, yeah, ah but for the I mean, for the most part, I think ah teams with good running games have been the ones that have dominated.
00:08:33
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
mediocre there's not like a clear cut
00:08:41
Zack
um so I think that's why Tennessee is where they're at. Their schedule has been favorable at times, but also the run game has kept them in games the whole season. So the defense and the run game when the past game has not been there.
00:08:55
Zack
and I was just thinking about it and thinking through Because we're having a discussion about who who who would we want to draft in this upcoming draft.
00:09:03
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:09:04
Zack
And I started thinking through quarterbacks. I was like, man, SEC is just... It's not even just SEC. I think it's across the whole nation. Like, how many elite quarterbacks are there? Like, a handful, maybe?
00:09:15
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Right. I mean, it shows, yeah, it shows in the Heisman race too.
00:09:16
Zack
Like, in the whole country?
00:09:20
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Normally it's a quarterback award. And I know what Travis Hunter is doing is great and gente as well, but at the same time, like if there was a quarterback at an elite level right now, even doing anything close to like what Jane Daniels did last year or Joe burrow in his year, like that person would be the Heisman favorite.
00:09:37
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
And there's just not anyone doing that.
00:09:37
Zack
Easy.
00:09:41
Zack
Yep. I 100% agree.
00:09:42
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I can't think of a single quarterback.
00:09:43
Zack
Dylan Gabriel right now is, he's up there, but there's an argument that he's just not making mistakes and he plays on a good team.
00:09:52
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
he Yeah, he's only thrown for like 200 to 250 yards a game and like to touchdown like he's not doing anything crazy Jane Daniels this time last year was thrown for like 350 and four touchdowns a game while rushing for another hundred Yeah, yep And then they had a bad loss yesterday so that
00:09:53
Zack
Very good team.
00:09:57
Zack
He's not asked to do a lot.
00:10:04
Zack
I think team board is the only quarterback doing that right now. etee Yeah, I mean he's carried his team to some victories they would not have had otherwise.
00:10:18
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah, he fell pretty hard. he He went into the Saturday. He went into the game as the Heisman favorite and now he's like third or fourth.
00:10:28
Zack
It's tough, um the Heisman obviously values your team success pretty heavy.
00:10:29
Mason
Hmm.
00:10:33
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Which makes.
00:10:34
Zack
Which is pretty unfair probably but He's not far down he's like sixth, right?
00:10:37
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
It does make me wonder why, uh, Shoulder Sanders is not higher up in this Heisman like race. They they're giving right.
00:10:50
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
But ah I guess what?
00:10:50
Zack
but like that Eight
00:10:52
Mason
Eight. He's plus four thousand.
00:10:53
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah. He's, he's playing it. He's playing so well. Like it's very quiet how well he's playing this year. He's getting overshadowed a little bit by what Travis Hunter is doing obviously, but.
00:11:08
Mason
We got a Tennessee vol on the board here, Dylan Sampson at plus 15,000.
00:11:08
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
And I know a fall.
00:11:13
Zack
It's nuts. Maybe he's got a priest.
00:11:15
Mason
Sorry, I didn't mean to cut you off.
00:11:18
Zack
If he has a very good last three games, I mean, he could, he could, he could compete for that. Like most touchdowns of all time, that Derek Henry record, but what's talking about is wild stuff.
00:11:25
Mason
Better odds than Carson Beck right now.
00:11:33
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
He's still going to be a top 10 draft pick.
00:11:33
Zack
It's
00:11:36
Mason
Hmm.
00:11:37
Zack
Get him
00:11:37
Mason
Not by the Titans.
00:11:41
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
clip that.
00:11:41
Mason
The Jets, maybe. That seems like a Jets type of move.
00:11:46
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Carson back to the Jets. Yeah, that feels pretty on brand actually.
00:11:51
Zack
Aaron Rodgers to Garza back of the hilarious.
00:11:56
Mason
that's but That's what we need.
00:11:56
Zack
um Okay, let's why don't we why don't we just start here because we we don't we don't have to have an extended discussion here because I'm not sure how much has actually changed um Let's do some playoff potential We whittled a couple teams down Over the course of this weekend could have had a couple more Some are barely holding on for dear life Some are out completely And we're gonna have a little bit of SEC talk here in a second. So Cuz I think that's ah as you see is the wildest it's gonna be wild just whatever happens.
00:12:32
Zack
It's gonna be crazy So let's start. um Let's start with our with our G5 Boise State Pulls out a tough win against Nevada Ginty
00:12:39
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
seven point one.
00:12:44
Zack
had like three touchdowns still or whatever doing what he does Boise State as long as they went out. They're good um Notre Dame Pete, Florida State Which this fort is you guys here for a state?
00:12:58
Zack
Mark. Norvell was cleaning some shop today Fired a couple coordinators a Couple big coaches.
00:13:01
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
No, I did not actually hear this. Ah, course.
00:13:06
Zack
Yes. He's like don't worry guys. I got control over this don't it's all good We try to get rid of some some fat around here. I think there's some bigger problems in Florida State, but um Army is still on the board But they play Notre Dame next week. As far as I'm concerned, it's an elimination game next week. Army Notre Dame. Somebody's going home. Okay, the ACC.
00:13:31
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Mm. They actually don't play next week. Army's off next week. Sorry. Uh, it's another day in Virginia, but Virginia riding kind of higher now.
00:13:37
Zack
Notre Dame had a couple of games coming up that would have been huge.
00:13:44
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Cause they beat.
00:13:44
Mason
Could you imagine?
00:13:47
Zack
Like this Florida State game, they have USC as well, but then all the teams they played ended up just being bad. So, big game for Virginia, could shock the world.
00:13:58
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
They could, they could ruin someone else's season.
00:13:58
Zack
Notre Dame losing would really, really help Tennessee. I'm just gonna say that.
00:14:03
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:14:04
Zack
Okay, ACC. but Per my calculations, we've got four teams here. We've got Pitt, who lost two losses. They are not looking very good at this point in the game.
00:14:15
Zack
but I think mathematically they're still there because Miami also took a loss. Two of the worst losses of the weekend where they are Pitt and Miami both. ah we'll We'll mention this, we're not gonna go into depth here because we'll talk about it more in our categories, but two losses. Clemson has what took a win and SMU now is sitting pretty comfortably in that first spot in the ACC. I mean, they unless something crazy happens, they're almost a lock for the ACC championship game.
00:14:45
Zack
um Who they're gonna be playing is still very much up for grabs depending on how these last couple weeks go So there's ACC. Those are the four teams. I've got their big 12 BYU We're gonna talk about that game in a little bit. um I Love calling the game the Holy War though. That's hilarious BYU Utah, that game was wild. BYU wins, so they are firmly in the driver's seat. They are going to make the Big 12 championship game. Iowa State is falling off. All of a sudden has two losses. They lost to a Kansas team that is not very good. The Iowa State team seems to be off the rails. Kansas State still in the mix. Colorado, sneaky. Becoming less sneaky though.
00:15:34
Zack
Uh, some people are saying they could be writing a little bit of a soft schedule.
00:15:40
Zack
I'm one of those people, but here we are. Who knows? They're alive, uh, and they're frisky and I have a bet for them to make the playoffs. So I'm rooting for them at this point. Um, those are the four teams we have an elimination in the big 12, Texas tech, tens is Texas tech.
00:15:57
Zack
As far as I'm concerned is eliminated. Shoot the cannons, fire the fireworks.
00:16:01
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I did. I called it on Thursday episode. I said Colorado will. It'll be bad. It'll be. I hate doing. I hate saying it. Colorado is going to run it up on him. They covered. It's one of the only college bets I hit all weekend. So thank you Colorado for saving my butt.
00:16:19
Zack
He called a shot. He wrote with them until it was time to not write any anymore jumped off Wow, there you go Plus a thousand Pretty good pretty good bet Okay, big ten where I there's a lot that could happen here.
00:16:23
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I did. I took Colorado. i I moved it up to minus 10 so.
00:16:27
Mason
Wow. Where'd you get that app?
00:16:29
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
that uh fan vandal it was like plus
00:16:31
Mason
Like what plus? Well, what was it?
00:16:35
Mason
Nice. Pretty good.
00:16:42
Zack
There's a least drama I think um I'm pretty convinced. It's just gonna be Oregon Penn State, Indiana, Ohio State and Even if Indiana beats Ohio State, I think the committee would have a hard time leaving in two lost Ohio State team out of the playoffs.
00:17:00
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Do you think so?
00:17:00
Zack
Unfortunately, I do.
00:17:02
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
but
00:17:03
Zack
It's Ohio State. there're They are what they are. They're like Alabama. They're just not going to leave them out unless they have to. Their ratings are better and I think all forwards still go probably.
00:17:10
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
They would have to leave one of them out at this rate, right?
00:17:15
Mason
Mm.
00:17:16
Zack
Penn State's probably not going to lose again.
00:17:19
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Hmm.
00:17:19
Zack
Oregon has got a soft, soft schedule moving ahead. Indiana, I mean, there they have a max of one loss on their schedule. Ohio State is kind of the question there. If Indiana beats them, what would happen? Would one of them drop out? That'd probably be good for Tennessee as well, honestly.
00:17:38
Zack
um Okay. And lastly, let's get to the SEC, where there has been an elimination. Fire the cannons for LSU.
00:17:52
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
They're out.
00:17:52
Zack
Officially eliminated from playoff contingent.
00:17:55
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
See you Brian Kelly.
00:17:55
Mason
But they like, uh, you, you talked about, uh, fire the cannons as like the hunger games.
00:17:57
Zack
Pour one out for Brian Kelly and Nussmeyer and all the people at LSU.
00:18:07
Zack
Mm-hmm.
00:18:07
Mason
Would LSU be like a district seven?
00:18:10
Zack
No, they're a wealthy district.
00:18:13
Mason
Uh, so district bike.
00:18:15
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Mason.
00:18:16
Zack
They're like two or three.
00:18:18
Mason
Okay.
00:18:18
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I'm gonna give you, all right, so Mason, when the when the playoff poll comes out, but the the the graphic, the 12 teams, right?
00:18:25
Zack
but Yeah.
00:18:27
Mason
Yeah, we got to do a district for each one.
00:18:28
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Your homework assignment for, yeah, I need you to do, because you keep asking this question, so now now you have homework.
00:18:32
Zack
All right, Mason, that's a great segment for you.
00:18:38
Mason
So here's the thing, it worked out perfect, right? There's 12 playoff teams and there's 12 districts.
00:18:42
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
oh
00:18:43
Mason
So, okay.
00:18:43
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
So, there you go.
00:18:46
Zack
I love that for you.
00:18:46
Mason
All right, we'll do it. I need to actually like read the books thing because they go in way more better detail.
00:18:51
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Nope. Just, just, just Google some stuff.
00:18:52
Mason
Oh,
00:18:54
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
You ain't gotta, Mason has this thing. He has to know everything before it just like, before he could talk about it.
00:19:00
Zack
He's gonna read, use some research he's read these books just for this segment.
00:19:05
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Like last Sunday, he was worried about doing the pod because he hadn't watched football all day.
00:19:06
Mason
That's how devoted I am.
00:19:10
Zack
Mason, I have a serious question for you.
00:19:11
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
He was like, how am I going to talk about any of it? I won't know what happened.
00:19:17
Mason
Yeah.
00:19:18
Zack
When was the last time you read a book?
00:19:20
Mason
I'm still working on Harry Potter right now. I'm on the third one, the third book.
00:19:25
Zack
when So when did you finish the second book?
00:19:27
Mason
Huh? Yeah.
00:19:30
Mason
So I started the series back in COVID.
00:19:35
Zack
Okay.
00:19:36
Mason
Uh, like 2020, actually 2019.
00:19:37
Zack
Only four years in. Yeah. We're doing pretty good.
00:19:40
Mason
Yeah.
00:19:41
Zack
Okay. Five years.
00:19:41
Mason
It was before COVID started 2019.
00:19:44
Zack
Okay.
00:19:44
Mason
So here we are. Uh, I don't remember how long it took. It's usually a couple of years for each one. It seems like if it was for the pod, you know, that's how devoted I am.
00:19:49
Zack
But you're going to read the Hunger Games series in the next three weeks. Okay. I love that.
00:20:00
Mason
I probably go to audio books.
00:20:00
Zack
That could be That would be an electric punishment.
00:20:02
Mason
Is it, is it technically?
00:20:04
Zack
What if we gave Mason a reading comprehension test, like an like an AR test back in the day, over at the Hunger Games books live on the pod to make sure he read it?
00:20:09
Mason
Shoo.
00:20:09
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Oh
00:20:13
Mason
Is it technically reading if you listen to audiobook?
00:20:16
Zack
Yeah.
00:20:18
Mason
I could do that within the time period probably.
00:20:21
Zack
Okay, I like that.
00:20:23
Mason
Okay, there we go.
00:20:25
Zack
Alright, here we go. SEC, this is where chaos is going to rain. Here's the teams that are remaining as far as I'm concerned. Texas A and&M. Georgia, two loss. A&M, two loss as well. Texas, one loss. Tennessee, one loss. Alabama, two loss. Ole Miss, two losses.
00:20:56
Zack
At least two of these teams are not making the playoff is the reality As much as Eli drink which wants me to include Missouri I don't think I can because I do not change it any way that the playoff committee is putting them in So by my calculations I've done the math there are six teams in contention Four teams are gonna make it unless Notre Dame loses or unless Ohio State gets kicked out, which would be awesome, but
00:21:10
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
No.
00:21:25
Zack
Unless one of those two things happens, I think a max of four teams are going. There's a reality where we have some serious, serious chaos here at the end of the season. I don't know if we have to go over all of the possibilities. I will just say the most likely scenario. Georgia beating Tennessee, Texas beating A and&M leaves five teams with two losses fighting for three playoff spots.
00:21:53
Zack
Uh, something's getting crazy, I think. And so pretty, uh, it makes me sick. I was thinking about Tennessee's chances here. Uh, all, all of the narratives have gone against Tennessee up to this point. And I just foresee all of those going a very bad direction. So we're looking for some crazy upsets here down the stretch, to be honest with you with everyone, except for Tennessee.
00:22:20
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Would A&M beating Texas, what do you think that, I think that puts Texas on the outside looking in.
00:22:29
Zack
And beating Texas causes the most chaos.
00:22:32
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Mm-hmm.
00:22:33
Zack
Because there are, there would be seven SEC teams with two losses.
00:22:33
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Out.
00:22:39
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
With A and&M only having one, one SEC loss.
00:22:41
Zack
Crazy.
00:22:44
Zack
One SEC loss plus Notre Dame.
00:22:46
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Right.
00:22:47
Zack
I mean, though, I think the SEC losses, I think the SEC loss matters for the SEC championship game, but not for the playoff committees.
00:22:47
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Oh my gosh, why couldn't they have just won?
00:22:54
Zack
I just don't think they're going to differentiate it that much.
00:22:55
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
enough.
00:22:57
Zack
I think they're going to see. two losses on everyone's resume. And if you start breaking it down, it's almost like most of these teams have beaten each other, but then also most of these teams have won at least one pretty bad loss somewhere.
00:23:14
Zack
Maybe George is on without a bad loss. They have Ole Miss and Bama as their two losses.
00:23:19
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
oh That was ah that that old miss loss was bad.
00:23:21
Zack
They looked bad against Ole Miss.
00:23:23
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah, they just look bad. They couldn't do anything offensive or defensively Yeah, they got hot at the right time Seems like every time I start talking bad about a team they kind of I
00:23:25
Zack
But Ole Miss has made one of the scarier teams right now. Ole Miss has gotten their chefs together, and they look like a good team. They could beat anybody, I think, right now.
00:23:42
Zack
Hm.
00:23:43
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
flipped the switch. So that being said, I think UT sucks right now. And they're kind of kind of a dumpster fire.
00:23:49
Zack
Hm, X.
00:23:50
Mason
good play
00:23:55
Zack
It certainly could be. we we'll let's talk We'll talk about Seneca maybe later in our category somewhere, but Oregon certainly sucks.
00:24:01
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Organ, they suck.
00:24:06
Zack
I don't even care. Oregon's in Ohio State's the one that needs to suck.
00:24:12
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
i I think if Ohio State loses to Indiana, that that's outside looking in for them as well.
00:24:13
Mason
Good play.
00:24:19
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I think they're they're they're outside the club.
00:24:22
Zack
They beat Penn State. They're only lost.
00:24:24
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
That.
00:24:24
Mason
The bouncer not letting them in.
00:24:25
Zack
Their loss is Oregon.
00:24:29
Zack
If their are two losses are two undefeated teams.
00:24:31
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah, but what if Penn State gets into the been bi big championship game and then Oregon just absolutely mollywaps them? That doesn't look like a good win for Ohio State anymore.
00:24:39
Zack
That is true. Their loss is Oregon.
00:24:46
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
That's the kind of, you got to start, you got to start like Jared cough.
00:24:48
Zack
I don't know. I'm not going to leave. I'll say it out.
00:24:52
Zack
If I know this playoff committee, I know they're not looking to look, they will do everything to power to keep Ohio state and Bama in this, in this playoff.
00:25:03
Zack
Okay. Do I do some categories? Is that where we're at?
00:25:07
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Mm hmm. I'm down.
00:25:10
Zack
Feel good.
00:25:11
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Feel good.
00:25:12
Mason
Let's do it. I heard Tinsley say Jared Goff under his breath. so You saw the second pick, right?
00:25:16
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah, this guy. Yeah, this guy. This guy is now my QB one in fantasy because Trevor's going to be out for the year, probably. And so now I'm like, all right, well, I got Jared and then tonight of all nights, he decides he wants to be.
00:25:32
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
A terrible and he's playing against the Texans who also hate.
00:25:33
Zack
and
00:25:37
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
And so now I just have this, the the angers grow the.
00:25:42
Mason
Hater tens is coming out.
00:25:43
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
The angry sharks are swimming.
00:25:46
Zack
oops
00:25:46
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
They're swimming all around me.
00:25:47
Mason
Perfect time. Perfect timing for some categories and then NFL talk.
00:25:52
Zack
Alright, here we go. First category. Upset of the week. Upset of the week. Let me go first because I've got a pretty easy one.
00:26:02
Zack
i Am taking Georgia Tech over Your Miami Hurricanes ah This was a huge win for the guys at Georgia Tech.
00:26:06
Mason
Mmm.
00:26:14
Zack
This has been a long time coming for Miami um it seems like Miami has it's been like It's felt like a yeah final destination movie where They should have lost a couple times and it's just kept coming for him and it was gonna get him eventually and here we are they got got
00:26:21
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Play with fire.
00:26:33
Zack
Um, this could potentially not matter for Miami. They're still going to go to the AC championship if they went out. Uh, if they win, they're still going to the playoffs. I don't know that anything has changed other than, I think this almost guarantees a one bid. ACC conference right now. Uh, I think they're only going to get one playoff team is going to be the winner. I think at this point, everyone else has a, has a pretty bad loss. I don't think anyone else is going to sneak in there. So it has that it has done that to the ACC, I think.
00:27:04
Zack
But overall Came Ward still looked good the rest of the team not so much I mean it honestly just feels like it's been a long time coming because they've they've been playing this game for all season of like us to see how close we can eke out a win at the very last minute and it finally just You just can't do that over that many times and expect to just keep winning So their season is not over but huge huge upset though
00:27:18
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah. How many? Yeah. How many points can we go down?
00:27:29
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah. And I mean, Georgia, Georgia takes got some kind of, they're building something down there. That, that head coach is his second year. Um, third he's going to turn him to a decent program, I think.
00:27:45
Zack
They killed Florida State.
00:27:47
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Mm hmm.
00:27:47
Zack
They ended their whole program, I think.
00:27:47
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Over. Yeah, they they embarrassed them so bad in Ireland that they're they're one in nine or no.
00:27:51
Zack
I lost my game. That's so funny. Yeah.
00:27:57
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
So, yeah, I mean, there's I think if if Miami had dropped one of these other games where they're playing the fire too much, like against a cow or. You know, one of the I can't think of all of them now, but they' they've.
00:28:10
Zack
Virginia Tech.
00:28:11
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Virginia Tech, yeah, like they've they've been asking for it.
00:28:12
Zack
That was the one. Yeah.
00:28:15
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
um So this is good for them. Maybe this would be a little wake up call like, Hey, we, we actually have to like play good football the whole game and not just count on Kim Ward saving us in the fourth quarter.
00:28:27
Zack
That's true sure. All right, what do you guys got up to the week?
00:28:33
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
um I went with Ole Miss, Georgia. I really didn't think Ole Miss had this in them.
00:28:38
Zack
Yep
00:28:41
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I thought Georgia's defense was going to step up, control the game. um Carson Beck is terrible. The running back, number three, whatever his name is, two big fumbles.
00:28:55
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
um
00:28:55
Zack
Mm.
00:28:56
Mason
Well, when, yeah, go ahead.
00:28:56
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I don't know. It's just just bad. ah' just It's just bad.
00:29:02
Mason
When Georgia went up seven to zero at the beginning, I was like, and this is where they just take the lead too far and it's not Ole Miss ain't gonna be able to keep up.
00:29:13
Mason
And boy, was I wrong.
00:29:13
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Right. Yeah. I thought Georgia would just be the way more physical team.
00:29:20
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Like the conditions even called for that, like it was raining, it was gross, like play defense and run the ball and they couldn't do it. Carson Beck keeps showing that he is just not actually good at quarterback, which is tough, considering you're the number one projected quarterback in this NFL draft. um So yeah, I don't know, Georgia, I take back my ball of chainsaws or the monster truck with chainsaws attached to it. That's not what they are.
00:29:49
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
They are just like, they're just a Hummer, just a regular Hummer.
00:29:52
Zack
a
00:29:53
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
No mods attached, no chainsaws, no anything like that. And a regular Hummer eventually runs out of gas.
00:29:59
Zack
It's fact Some people are saying I mean, I'm not talking any trash about Georgia this week.
00:29:59
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
The Georgia Bulldogs might be out of gas.
00:30:06
Zack
I'm just kidding no bulletin board material from this guy Not even a little bit George is a great program long history. I look forward to a great game.
00:30:15
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Long history of Great football players, outstanding people on and off the field.
00:30:17
Mason
you
00:30:21
Zack
I morally strong.
00:30:22
Mason
You...
00:30:25
Zack
If i've no one thing I could say one thing about the Georgia program, it creates good men on and off the football field.
00:30:25
Mason
Zach, you do.
00:30:33
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I'd be proud for one of my kids to go to the University of Georgia.
00:30:37
Zack
I also would.
00:30:37
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
What a prestigious prestigious college.
00:30:43
Zack
No bulletin material.
00:30:44
Mason
So I felt like that, I felt like I was sensing a little sarcasm there, but at first I was like, Zach, you've done Oklahoma hate week, but for Georgia, you're not gonna.
00:30:48
Zack
No, it wasn't as real.
00:30:48
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I've never, I've never been sarcastic before.
00:30:54
Zack
Because I'm not scared of Oklahoma.
00:30:57
Mason
Good point.
00:30:57
Zack
You could have hate week for people you think you're going to beat.
00:31:01
Mason
if
00:31:03
Zack
You give only respect and admiration. It seems that you are scared of.
00:31:06
Mason
There you go.
00:31:08
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
You can say whatever you want about a bin or a whatever his name Venerable's football team.
00:31:08
Mason
Makes sense.
00:31:12
Zack
Correct.
00:31:12
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
They're terrible.
00:31:14
Zack
They are pretty bad.
00:31:15
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
and I called that dude getting fired in August. He's going to be the first SEC coach getting fired because Billy Napier's not getting fired.
00:31:20
Zack
That's a billionaire. What happened? Ah. What a wild situation there.
00:31:25
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
They're scared of losing lag way is what it is.
00:31:27
Zack
That's definitely, that's 100 percent.
00:31:30
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
So congrats, Billy.
00:31:30
Zack
Yeah.
00:31:32
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
You get to keep your job.
00:31:35
Zack
This is becoming a trend, actually, this is way off topic, but I've I've heard that LSU has like a generational quarterback for next year that they have us to recruit.
00:31:46
Zack
Have you heard about this kid from Michigan?
00:31:50
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Oh, yes.
00:31:53
Zack
I forget his name.
00:31:53
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I i thought it was like from two years from now. I didn't know it was next year.
00:31:55
Zack
They might be.
00:31:57
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
But yeah, and that's why like, a lot of people are like already kind of tired of Brian Kelly. And it's like, well, we can't fire him because we we can't have any, yeah.
00:32:03
Zack
Yeah, because he's going to flip. I think a lot of people are afraid he's going to flip to Michigan. Because he's from Michigan.
00:32:08
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Well, if David Portnoy has his way, he legitimately
00:32:09
Mason
Hmm.
00:32:09
Zack
And Dave Fortnoy is about to give him a couple mil, a couple mil. I think he would.
00:32:16
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
dave Dave is trying to do that. Big Cat's doing the same thing. There's a big Michigan or a big Wisconsin recruit there this last weekend and Big Cat went and met and talked about for potential NIL deal.
00:32:24
Zack
Hmm.
00:32:29
Zack
We're doing the same thing.
00:32:31
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
And yeah, and we're doing the same thing as our podcast.
00:32:35
Zack
Yep. We're going to have $12 to Wilbrook's Scarship Fund.
00:32:36
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
We can't tell you to get him that sixth year.
00:32:46
Zack
I Diego Pavia.
00:32:48
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Oh for.
00:32:49
Zack
I was like a extreme quarterback just to let him sit on the bench and make just like to make Vanderbilt mad.
00:32:55
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
He's suing the NCAA for another year of eligibility.
00:32:56
Zack
You know.
00:32:59
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
He's good for all JUCO players for everyone that plays in JUCO that it shouldn't count towards that eligibility.
00:33:02
Zack
Yeah.
00:33:02
Mason
Huh.
00:33:03
Zack
Okay.
00:33:05
Mason
Hmm.
00:33:07
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
He's probably gonna win too.
00:33:09
Zack
Hmm.
00:33:12
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Hmm.
00:33:14
Mason
Okay, my turn for upset.
00:33:14
Zack
There you go. Yep.
00:33:16
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:33:17
Mason
All right, I'm going with the team that was favored the most points that lost outright in the NFL.
00:33:24
Zack
Okay.
00:33:25
Mason
And that would be the Bears. They were favored six points at home to the Patriots and lost the game.
00:33:27
Zack
Hmm. It's tough.
00:33:32
Mason
ah Caleb Williams, in my opinion, falling out of, it's a clear cut like Jayden Daniels at this point. The odds are closed until tomorrow.
00:33:44
Mason
but Caleb Williams now falling out of the rookie of the year contention. ah He had 120 yards passing, no TVs, no interceptions.
00:33:51
Zack
It's
00:33:53
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
wow Wow.
00:33:54
Mason
Yeah, with the Patriots, it was just kinda like, I felt like it was more of the Bears of losing that game than the Patriots winning, but there you go.
00:33:55
Zack
tough.
00:34:03
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah, no, I had the Bears is my disappointment of the week.
00:34:06
Mason
Mm, I sniped ya.
00:34:07
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
A lot of same stuff you're saying like. You're favored by this much. This is the last game. That's like a, you should win this game. You're playing a lesser opponent because they're about to go on a stretch where they play the Vikings and Packers and and lions, like all kinds of, yeah, all their divisional, like the bear schedule is about to get really tough.
00:34:21
Mason
Mmm divisional games At 49ers Yeah, and then they play so I'll go and order Packers Vikings Bears 49ers then Vikings Lions Seahawks ah Packers so it's all divisional from here on out
00:34:27
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
ah Yeah.
00:34:43
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah, so I don't know, the Bears, there's just something like DJ Moore his was open about being a Justin Fields guy all summer. You've seen him multiple times this season kind of just give up during games and during plays and just kind of like he's becoming an issue. He's probably gonna have to get traded. The Bears are just kind of dysfunctional right now. um Matt Eberfluis probably getting fired.
00:35:11
Mason
Wow, look at that.
00:35:13
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
So just
00:35:13
Mason
He, he was kind of taking some heat in like the press conferences, the, uh, like what changes need to be made. And there was a lot of just like questions of like, you guys are not, uh, meeting up to expectations. So, and they're not been.
00:35:32
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
They just, I don't know why they brought him back. It was a situation where you could have gone into this season, Caleb Williams and put someone who's very creative offensively um and has an off offensive minded kind of coaching style, attach him to Caleb Williams hip year one and start his development the right way. But instead you bring back your defensive coordinator head coach.
00:35:56
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
who had a terrible first two years, like just start over. Like you have, the it's the perfect chance to start fresh.
00:36:01
Mason
Yeah.
00:36:03
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
And instead you're going to restart again. um And so Caleb's gonna be, it's like this year was for nothing.
00:36:13
Mason
Yeah,
00:36:13
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Cause you're gonna, he's gonna have to learn her a whole new, it's like, it's starting all over. It's hard for quarterbacks. You have to learn a whole new playbook. It's just, it's just not great.
00:36:23
Mason
yeah for sure.
00:36:25
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
But it's the bears.
00:36:26
Mason
Appointment overall.
00:36:26
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
That's what they're, they're dysfunctional franchise.
00:36:31
Mason
So, um yeah, and i I agree with that. Since that was your disappointment, I'll go ahead and transition into mine if that's okay.
00:36:38
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Mm-hmm.
00:36:39
Mason
Disappointment of the week. a Couple kickers Falcons kicker was Coo was one of four on field goals. They also lost that game So if he would have made a couple of those because it was close game they would have yeah, and then Lutz the Denver Broncos got a kick blocked at the very end of let's sorry, let's yeah and Close enough.
00:36:49
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Mm-hmm. It's a three point game. Yeah.
00:36:58
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Let's roll it.
00:37:02
Mason
ah Speaking of the Denver Broncos, they were my also my disappointment of the week. Literally in the second quarter, they had a 14-3 lead against the Chiefs and they never scored again after that.
00:37:15
Mason
They covered the spread, but they lose 16-14 and now dropped to 5-5. It just seems to be this thing that the Chiefs just always figure out a win. That's why I will be worried about them in the playoffs.
00:37:28
Mason
Like I'm really honestly worried about them just doing a three-peat. It's just they find a way no matter what.
00:37:33
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah, no, I'm about to make my chief Super Bowl future parlay in the next couple days.
00:37:34
Mason
they
00:37:38
Mason
And I know this isn't a controversial take. Everybody's like, well, yeah, they're like probably favored to win the the Super Bowl again and everything. It's not like controversial, like hot take. But it's just like they let that, if you watch that first half, you're literally like, Oh, this is the Broncos game right now.
00:37:54
Mason
Like they have them right where they want them. And then the chiefs turn it around and had no problem doing it either. So there you go. Disappointment. Come on Broncos. You had one job is to give the chiefs their first loss.
00:38:04
Zack
Is there a point where you, you win too many regular season games? It's where it's like, this is, I don't know. You're, you're using up all your magic, like in the regular season.
00:38:17
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah, ask the ah as the Patriots, yeah.
00:38:18
Mason
Well, well, guess who's a underdog next week?
00:38:18
Zack
The Patriots.
00:38:21
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
How'd that work for them?
00:38:26
Zack
Chiefs.
00:38:26
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
The Chiefs against the Bills.
00:38:26
Mason
The Chiefs to to the Bills. Yeah, I think it was two and a half as we already saw the.
00:38:31
Zack
Hmm.
00:38:33
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Chiefs are still the favorite to win Super Bowl right now, plus 400. Lions are second.
00:38:38
Mason
There you go.
00:38:38
Zack
Make sense?
00:38:40
Mason
Yeah, it's at Buffalo, ah Buffalo minus two and a half.
00:38:45
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
You will never guess who is so. All right, so eighth, you'll never guess who they same as.
00:38:53
Zack
Vikings.
00:38:56
Mason
Rams.
00:38:57
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
No, No.
00:38:58
Zack
Browns.
00:38:58
Mason
Steelers.
00:39:01
Mason
Browns.
00:39:01
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
sealip Steelers, steelers, I guess, are technically tied ah the commanders ah plus twenty two hundred.
00:39:08
Mason
Oh, both teams played each other today.
00:39:10
Zack
Okay.
00:39:11
Mason
We'll talk about that in a minute.
00:39:12
Zack
Fun game.
00:39:12
Mason
I'm sure.
00:39:13
Zack
Yeah.
00:39:14
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Commanders just there. Let's see. One, two, three.
00:39:19
Mason
They had that game today too.
00:39:20
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
They're the fifth. They're the fifth the fifth highest in the and NFC. That's crazy to me.
00:39:27
Zack
Wow. There you go.
00:39:30
Mason
Zach, disappointment of the week.
00:39:32
Zack
Disappointment of the week mine is going to be um Some injustices in the holy war Utah had an opportunity Most of our teams that we've been talking about as potential frauds have at this point fallen off somewhere along the way we had um We've got a couple of teams we've been trying to track. um Miami lost this week, obviously. But there was a chance, a serious chance for BYU to kind of take a hit there, which could potentially, I don't know, you'd just love to see some of these teams that don't play super tough schedules fall against a Utah team that's not been very good, but it's a big rivalry game. A controversial holding, defensive holding called at the end of the game.
00:40:26
Zack
ah seemingly gave the game to BYU. Utah coach was not very happy about that one. He was arguing about it in the post-game press conference. um This point of the week, actually we can throw in two of them. Let's throw in Michigan as well. Michigan almost beat Indiana as well. We almost had both of our frauds that are left undefeated down in one week. Would've been fun.
00:40:48
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I have not once called India a fraud. That is all Zach.
00:40:52
Zack
I do have all respect to Indiana. I'm just I'm saying not for no. Yeah, I'm not trash talking in the end. No bulletin board to for those guys.
00:41:01
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
But they're frauds.
00:41:02
Zack
There is a decent chance.
00:41:04
Mason
He has all respect for him, but they're frauds, he says.
00:41:05
Zack
All respect for them, not frauds. I rescind that statement.
00:41:10
Mason
Should we just, okay, I was gonna say, should we just go back a minute and a half where he said they're frauds?
00:41:10
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Okay.
00:41:11
Zack
I misspoke deleted from memories.
00:41:17
Zack
um Not frauds, but would have been fun to see them lose. respectfully All respects Indiana I Would love to what is their strength of schedule you think I would love to see it I Bet it's like in the 100th plus in the nation.
00:41:24
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
respectfully With all due respect Probably point four three eight Okay O
00:41:44
Zack
I Mean it's been soft. I'll look it up while we talk about some other stuff Okay, next up
00:41:51
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
reaction of the week
00:41:51
Zack
overreaction of the week tens overaction of the week
00:41:56
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Um, Bryce young is is his back.
00:41:59
Mason
Mmm. it.
00:42:01
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
He is slinging this ball around. He is going to prove me wrong. After just two weeks ago, I said, I don't think you can fix price young. I'm out on him.
00:42:12
Mason
I was high on them, by the way.
00:42:13
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
He's back.
00:42:13
Mason
I literally, I literally requested the Titans to trade for them while they benched them. Did they listen to me?
00:42:18
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah, well, no, they maybe should have because he's back.
00:42:19
Mason
No.
00:42:23
Mason
Two consecutive wins already.
00:42:25
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yep, back to back wins, him and Xavier Legette.
00:42:27
Mason
Busting off some runs.
00:42:30
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Rich Eisen, I don't know why you why you couldn't say x Xavier Legette's name right today. adam don't You're an idiot and you're bald, which is a tough combo. um He kept calling him Lee Jet.
00:42:43
Mason
oh
00:42:44
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
He's like Bryce young to Lee jet. That's not his name. His name's Liget Hill. That's how he pronounces it So rich eyes and once again, I had to listen to your stupid face. So now it's a football game today.
00:42:55
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
It was terrible um But yeah, I know my show he's back Yeah, I guess the column of Kurt Warner neither one of them know how to call the ball game
00:42:58
Mason
Pretty sweet gig, though. He's got to go to all four international games. Well, I guess there's been more. No, five, five international. I think he's gone to all of them. Yeah. I know, but that's got to be the the dream life, you know.
00:43:16
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I don't know if my dream life would be sitting in a booth with Rich Eisen for three hours while he tries to commentate a football game.
00:43:21
Mason
Well, I guess I've just made like getting paid to go on a trip. ah I mean, I've only been out of the country like twice and it was on a cruise. It wasn't like over in Europe. So I think that would be pretty cool.
00:43:37
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I guess I don't know. I just.
00:43:39
Mason
We gotta put one international game on the stadium tour or it's not complete. You don't have to listen to Rich Eisen if you're there at the game. It'll be fine.
00:43:48
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
It's true.
00:43:49
Mason
Yeah, there you go.
00:43:49
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Be a real big perk because I hate listening to that guy. I tried his podcast. I can't even listen to. It's terrible. Anyway.
00:43:57
Mason
Yeah, he's on sports radio quite a bit. Okay, my overreaction of the week.
00:44:00
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:44:03
Mason
ah These risky play calls and going for it on fourth down are getting out of hand.
00:44:08
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Oh.
00:44:09
Mason
um The only reason the Steelers are not under scrutiny, especially their head coach Mike Tomlin and the coaching staff, ah For going for it on fourth and 15 in the first quarter on a fake punt. Yeah, that's right You heard me right fourth and 15 on their own 15 yard line Might be one of the dumbest plays I've ever seen in my life they ah Snapped it to I don't even know who the guy was but he passed it. It was a direct snap to Some skinny guy. I don't know who he was and he threw a pass that went into the dirt and
00:44:46
Mason
the commanders turned around and scored three plays later to tie the game seven to seven. They ended up pulling off the win, so no big deal, right? Because when you make risk like that, but you win the game, it's fine. But if they would have lost that game, it would have been a big deal. There you go. That's my overreaction. Zach.
00:45:07
Zack
overreaction of the week.
00:45:07
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Miles Killibrew. His name is Miles Killibrew.
00:45:10
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
That's who threw the ball.
00:45:10
Mason
Oh, thank you.
00:45:12
Mason
Thank you.
00:45:13
Zack
um
00:45:16
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
He is not skinny. He is six foot two, 220 pounds.
00:45:19
Mason
ah
00:45:20
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
He's a safety. He would he would write he would wreck your life.
00:45:21
Zack
He's not skinny.
00:45:22
Mason
He looks, he looks skinnier than like your, yeah, you're right. he He just looks skinnier than like the people that are usually blocking up front. It's usually like full backs and tight ends and stuff.
00:45:31
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Hmm.
00:45:35
Mason
Okay, go ahead, Zach.
00:45:38
Zack
This, um, we, we just talked about this team a little bit, but I think this one over action of the week, uh, Ole Miss is the best team in the SEC right now.
00:45:50
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
No you're probably right.
00:45:52
Zack
I think it might be. Are they going to win SD championship? Probably not. They're not going to make it. I don't think, I don't know how all the tiebreakers are going to work. I truly have no idea. There's going to be some wild tiebreakers and someone, unless Tennessee wins out and Texas wins out, in which case it'll be easy. It'll be Texas, Tennessee. Um, if even, if one of those teams loses, there's going to be like a four, four team tiebreaker or something crazy is going to have to happen. But I do think Ole Miss, if they went out, we'll make, we get a playoff spot. And I think they are dangerous. I mean, I think they're playing as good as anyone in the country.
00:46:29
Zack
I think they have a potential, I think they have a potential to beat Oregon, to beat Ohio State, to go toe to toe. If they're at their best, I think their ceiling right now that they've shown is higher. Maybe the only other higher ceiling we've seen was Alabama in the first quarter against Georgia, and then against LSU. like They look like a good team. They look like a great team. They've also looked like a bad team at times. Ole Miss has looked bad this season, but the last couple of games, they have looked very good.
00:46:58
Zack
There's no reaction.
00:47:02
Zack
That's it. OK, I did some research on Indiana's strength of schedule, if you're curious.
00:47:03
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Hmm.
00:47:08
Zack
um This was as of last week. They were rating Indiana as the 103rd highest strength of schedule.
00:47:14
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Hey.
00:47:14
Zack
The only other top or the only other power for team outside of the top 100 is Utah.
00:47:21
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Tough.
00:47:22
Zack
So shout out to my guys to Indiana for being undefeated in the 103rd best schedule. You know what they say, you just gotta to play the teams in front of you.
00:47:29
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
It's true.
00:47:29
Zack
That's all you can do. Shout out to Indiana, powerful competitors, just playing the team in front of them.
00:47:30
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
That's all I can do.
00:47:39
Zack
Okay, next up, let's go ahead and do performance of the week. Performance of the week. Who do you got?
00:47:51
Zack
tim
00:47:53
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I went with the people on Twitter during the Jaguars first drive where they scored a touchdown and people were trying to start up a quarterback controversy that Mack Jones and Doug Peterson is going to do this with Mack Jones because he likes Mack Jones better and Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
00:48:12
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Mack Jones sucks at football. um I don't know if you guys saw where he dropped two snaps today for fumbles through a couple of really bad interceptions, but the people on Twitter that were gearing up getting ready for Mack Jones to have a good day so they could be like, look.
00:48:14
Zack
Fucks the whole block.
00:48:26
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
The reason the Jags keep losing is because Trevor Lawrence sucks. No, wrong. it's It's a miracle Trevor Lawrence has made this offense look competent all year because we scored seven points off of four turnovers today. Sam Darnold had a very bad game, gave us four picks or three picks and a fumble. We scored one touchdown. We lost to a team that did not score a touchdown today. They kicked four field goals and beat us.
00:48:53
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
So congrats to the people on Twitter.
00:48:54
Mason
There you go.
00:48:56
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
You, you're doing the most and you got the least done.
00:49:01
Zack
That's deep.
00:49:02
Mason
Love it. That is deep.
00:49:04
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Thank you.
00:49:05
Mason
Got that off your chest. You feel better now?
00:49:07
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I never felt better. I felt better once.
00:49:09
Zack
He will never feel better.
00:49:11
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I'll feel better once I see Doug Peterson's gift got fired and this morning or I guess, yeah, this morning.
00:49:16
Zack
What if they pull a Florida and they say we are preserving Doug Peterson's job.
00:49:21
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Zach, just don't finish that.
00:49:25
Zack
Could be.
00:49:26
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
you don't You don't want to know what would happen if that happens.
00:49:29
Zack
No respect to Billy Napier, by the way. I don't respect that guy.
00:49:31
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Zero respect.
00:49:32
Mason
Zero.
00:49:32
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
No, he's he deserves it.
00:49:33
Zack
We already played him, so I can trash on him. The floor sucks.
00:49:39
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
they They have the number 51 recruiting class coming in. like why Why did you keep Billy?
00:49:43
Zack
It's big time.
00:49:44
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
like To save what?
00:49:47
Zack
Legway.
00:49:48
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
You're Florida though, like you should have a top 25 recruiting class just because you exist.
00:49:53
Zack
Hmm.
00:49:55
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
But instead, Billy is going to ruin your program. So good job, idiots. I'm proud of you.
00:49:59
Zack
Wow.
00:50:02
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
See, just you even talking, just you just saying Doug Peterson getting retained has already got me just angry.
00:50:02
Zack
Put that on your bulletin board, Billy.
00:50:09
Zack
And kind of fire it up.
00:50:10
Mason
And he, uh, he, he, mission accomplished for Zach.
00:50:14
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Like ah I don't even know how angry I don't. At this point, I miss Urban Meyer.
00:50:22
Mason
You're not saying that you're not saying that.
00:50:22
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Doug, yeah, no, Doug Peters. No, Doug Peterson's a punk. He's a he's smug.
00:50:27
Mason
What was urban Meyer?
00:50:28
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
He had. Well, yeah, he was bad too, but he didn't take pop shots at Trevor. He literally said, because Trevor has a AC joint injury and they asked him the significance of, he's like, well, I mean, it really just matters about like him carrying his duffel bag.
00:50:43
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
It doesn't do anything about him throwing the football. He's a grade three AC joint injury, which means all the tendons are off of his shoulder. Apparently I saw Twitter doctor talk about it.
00:50:54
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
So it's very painful.
00:50:54
Mason
Twitter doctor.
00:50:56
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
ah So Doug taking cheap shots at Trevor. I don't appreciate that.
00:51:00
Mason
Well, Doug also took cheap shots at Sam Darnold and that actually turned out to work in their favor because Sam Darnold threw three picks today, so.
00:51:01
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
And then.
00:51:07
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah, that actually worked. Yeah, but this is after Trevor played through an MC. Uh, MCL spraying last year, high ankle sprain and another shoulder injury and never complimented him for toughing that out.
00:51:22
Mason
Hmm.
00:51:23
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
And then today after the game, he said the team failed Mac Jones around, like we didn't do enough around him offensively. This isn't on Mac, but every other game Doug has no problem throwing Trevor right under the bus.
00:51:34
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
You, you smug visor moron.
00:51:35
Mason
No problem.
00:51:39
Mason
There you go.
00:51:39
Zack
You smug visor moron.
00:51:42
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yep, that's what he is.
00:51:43
Zack
I love that.
00:51:44
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
And even he he even made the reporters mad today. They asked him about the final play and he said, I'm not going to go into detail about it because you guys wouldn't understand.
00:51:54
Mason
Oh, they don't understand like plays or something like that.
00:51:54
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
That's catching.
00:51:57
Mason
I saw that.
00:51:57
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah, that's literally, yeah, he it's it's catching some steam on Twitter.
00:51:58
Mason
um So that.
00:52:02
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Can't wait.
00:52:03
Mason
you could You're also catching a steam on Twitter.
00:52:03
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
He's getting he's getting fired.
00:52:07
Mason
Always.
00:52:07
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
ah stay ah stay I stay steaming on Twitter.
00:52:12
Mason
Okay, my performance of the week is, um we talked about this player. He got shot over the off season. Ricky Pearsall, he caught a touchdown today.
00:52:24
Zack
Wow, he's back.
00:52:25
Mason
First career touchdown. I guess I could have worded that a little better.
00:52:29
Zack
He got shot.
00:52:31
Mason
Four receptions in 73 yards and a touchdown.
00:52:33
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
We talk about this player, he got shot.
00:52:35
Mason
You got a shot. I'm just stating the fact. So come back over here. Not Jamis Winston kind type of comeback, but um still a comeback.
00:52:44
Zack
Mm-hmm. He's still coming back. Don't you worry.
00:52:48
Mason
Touchdown.
00:52:49
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
DTR is starting for the Browns next week.
00:52:49
Mason
Congrats.
00:52:51
Zack
Shut it. He's back.
00:52:54
Mason
He's back.
00:52:55
Zack
OK.
00:52:55
Mason
Okay. Go ahead, Zach.
00:52:57
Zack
My performance of the week is going to be one Jalen Milrow. This guy looked very good and killed LSU season.
00:53:02
Mason
Mmm.
00:53:08
Zack
Alabama season on the line. ah He finally kind of looked like the competent quarterback that we've known Jill Miller to be. He's had a couple of tough weeks. He bounced back. Bama is looking better and better all the time. Which is good and bad for Tennessee probably, but Jill Miller, good week. Big week. Pretty much just destroyed LSU, single handedly.
00:53:39
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Mm hmm. Yeah. Had he been playing like this all season, he would have still been in Heisman contention and just, yeah, I don't know.
00:53:45
Zack
Definitely. It's been a weird season for him.
00:53:49
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
He's very weird season for Alabama and for Jayden.
00:53:55
Zack
Okay. um What about highest riser? Which team rose in your power ranking the most?
00:54:01
Mason
Mm.
00:54:05
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
um I'm going with the Cardinals. ah I've put them here a couple of times and there they're reaching like top 10 for me.
00:54:08
Zack
Hmm.
00:54:08
Mason
a
00:54:15
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I know this Jets team is kind of a joke, but the Cardinals did not allow a touchdown for a third straight game this season, which is crazy to think about because you don't think about Cardinals and being a super good defensive team.
00:54:24
Mason
It's a big deal
00:54:30
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
but Um, Rich Gannon as much as he's like kind of a weirdo, you know, when he met all the first players, just had that video where he's like, pew, pew, explosions, bombs. Like that's how he introduced himself to one of the receivers. Uh,
00:54:47

He's, he' it turns out, you know he might've been the whole reason Nick Ceriani even got to a Super Bowl because he's such a good coordinator, you know Nick Ceriani, coordinator merchant. um So, but the the the Cardinals are good. They're they're they're winning in multiple, like what however they have to. Kyler looks great. He's he's he's getting back to his MVP kind of form where he's running the ball super well and passing. So this Cardinals team's pretty tricky.
00:55:14
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
You know, be real shame if someone gave them out to you at plus 1600 to win their division. I don't know.
00:55:19
Mason
There you go. There you go. Someone did it.
00:55:24
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Somebody did somebody out there in August said.
00:55:24
Mason
I don't know who it was.
00:55:28
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Take these two teams.
00:55:31
Mason
Okay, so my highest riser is a sneaky six and three team right now. I get it, they played the Titans, but that would be the Chargers. Justin Herbert tends to have this insane passer rating. Apparently he's breaking records on the best passer rating for the season or something like that. He was 14 for 18. And if you look at a lot of his games, that's he's got very little completions. Yeah, it's a lot of like,
00:56:00
Mason
164 yards, nothing to go crazy about zero sacks. But the thing that I want to point out is I know ah the Chargers had seven sacks on Will Levis.
00:56:10
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Mm hmm.
00:56:12
Mason
And, um, this is like a sneaky team that now is second in that division, uh, obviously behind the chiefs, but they, with the Broncos losing today, they could easily get into the playoffs and.
00:56:25
Mason
I don't know. Jim Harbaugh might be back.
00:56:29
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah, this is what I mean, like I knew Jim Harbaugh would turn around the Chargers. I thought that was a good hire for them. I don't think it'd be this fast. um The only thing I worry about with them is is Justin Herbert is a guy who can sling the ball around, throw for a lot of yards. And maybe they're just not ready to do that yet because they don't have the weapons. Because he, it does kind of seem like they're turning him into a game manager type. And you don't want to do that with Justin Herbert because he is, he could be a top like 10, he's easily a top 10 quarterback with his skill. Like he he has all the skills that you need.
00:57:02
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
um
00:57:02
Mason
Like first couple of years, he was gunslinger over 300 yards several times, but a couple of interceptions in there.
00:57:05
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Mm hmm.
00:57:08
Mason
Now it's like, he's literally like 15 for 18, 158 yards and one touchdown.
00:57:13
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:57:14
Mason
Like that's, they changed him too.
00:57:15
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I would I would like to see them not treat him like he's JJ McCarthy on Michigan. um And I think they'll get there eventually.
00:57:21
Mason
There you go.
00:57:24
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
But yeah, I mean, this Chargers team, as long as Harbaugh is there, they're going to be well coached. They're they're not going to beat themselves. So so that's that's kind of what you're seeing.
00:57:32
Mason
game to circle on your schedule, not next week, but the week after Monday, November 25th, it's the Harbaugh brother bowl Ravens at the chargers.
00:57:41
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Oh.
00:57:44
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I'll be watching that while I'm at the hospital with a new baby.
00:57:47
Mason
Oh yeah, that's right. Congrats. There you go.
00:57:50
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Thank you.
00:57:51
Zack
Not congrats yet.
00:57:53
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah. We don't know what time he'll be here that day or, or it could be, could be before then.
00:57:55
Mason
Hmm. It's true.
00:57:57
Zack
Could be any time.
00:58:00
Zack
Could be tonight.
00:58:00
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Who knows?
00:58:00
Mason
never know tonight.
00:58:02
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Never know. I could get that text any minute.
00:58:04
Zack
Right now.
00:58:05
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
The water is broken. It's time to get to the hospital.
00:58:07
Zack
Let's get it.
00:58:07
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
We packed go bags today. Everything is we're ready.
00:58:10
Mason
oh Smart.
00:58:10
Zack
Ooh, good call.
00:58:11
Mason
There you go.
00:58:12
Zack
What are you gonna do with your dogs?
00:58:12
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Oh yeah.
00:58:13
Mason
I mean, I'll be getting the text.
00:58:16
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Um, we need them to, we'll need, yeah, we need the dog.
00:58:20
Mason
o
00:58:20
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
We need, we need him to not come early. So the dogs aren't a factor.
00:58:25
Zack
Mason, come pick up the dogs.
00:58:27
Mason
That's well, I probably just let them out or feed them or something.
00:58:28
Zack
Could you imagine?
00:58:31
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
yeah Yeah. Just like Mason, can you come take them out?
00:58:32
Zack
Could you imagine Mason putting those three dogs in the spark?
00:58:37
Zack
That would be comedy.
00:58:39
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
They,
00:58:40
Zack
That's a punishment opportunity.
00:58:40
Mason
I'll make sure to record that.
00:58:41
Zack
Punishment.
00:58:42
Mason
That would be a punishment.
00:58:43
Zack
Mason has to take a road trip with three dogs in the spark and record all of it.
00:58:43
Mason
op
00:58:44
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
yeah
00:58:49
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
They would just pick their seats and say it they like, they like riding in the car.
00:58:49
Zack
That's a good idea actually.
00:58:52
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
They actually, that's the one place they kind of behave.
00:58:52
Zack
Oh bummer. They wouldn't like trying to tear each other apart in Mason in the spark.
00:58:57
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
No, no, no, they know Mason.
00:59:00
Mason
Tough break.
00:59:01
Zack
Okay.
00:59:02
Mason
It's true.
00:59:05
Zack
Okay. Highest riser of the week for me is, this is a little bit of a a interesting pick, but I think it's, I think it's the right one. ah South Carolina, not really in the playoff picture right now, but is low key winning games against good teams.
00:59:24
Zack
and is out here just ah doing some things that are gonna mess some people up, I think. So let's just quickly look at their, they beat Vanderbilt this week, 28 to seven, something that Alabama could not do, and something that Texas struggled to do at Vanderbilt.
00:59:38
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
who
00:59:42
Zack
South Carolina has three losses this year. That would be a three point loss to LSU, a big loss to Ole Miss, and a two-point lawsuit at Alabama.
00:59:57
Zack
Those are their three losses. Other than that, they've looked pretty good in a pretty tough schedule. they have ah Next week, let's play ah let's play a guess the line game tens.
01:00:09
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Alright, let's do it.
01:00:09
Zack
Have you seen it?
01:00:11
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
No, I've not looked at lines.
01:00:12
Zack
Missouri at South Carolina.
01:00:14
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Ooh, I'm gonna go South Carolina minus five and a half.
01:00:20
Zack
South Carolina minus 13 and a half.
01:00:27
Zack
That's an insane line for a team that
01:00:28
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Well, okay.
01:00:34
Zack
is Claiming they're still in the playoff hunt drink wits 13 and a half point underdogs to South Carolina and They also have Clemson at the end of the year. So play spoiler there potentially as well If Clemson's got a shot at the ACC title game, so pretty interesting stuff, South Carolina looking pretty good Okay, I think we need to that's a wild stat I would not have expected that Okay They could be a problem next year
01:00:53
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
That's yeah.
01:00:58
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
South South Carolina is going to be a ah fun team to keep up with. Yeah, if they can hit the portal and kind of. I don't know if they want to bring sellers back or not as the quarterback, but yeah, South Carolina could be a ah fun team to kind of keep up with for next next next off season.
01:01:20
Zack
What if Diego Pavia comes back and just like gets to pick his price?
01:01:23
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Oh, he's coming back.
01:01:26
Zack
like Do you think he'll actually play at Vandy though?
01:01:28
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
No.
01:01:29
Zack
No, he's going to get he getting a somewhere.
01:01:31
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I think Vandy's Vandy's head coach could get an upgrade job.
01:01:38
Zack
He's just riding on the back of Diego Pavia right now.
01:01:38
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I know, but he's put together a decent team.
01:01:44
Zack
Yeah.
01:01:44
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
It's a decent recruiter. I forget where he came from before.
01:01:46
Zack
Sure.
01:01:47
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Everybody was like, oh, wow, it's actually a good hire.
01:01:50
Zack
Hmm.
01:01:51
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I can't remember.
01:01:52
Zack
Clark Lee, I don't know where he came from me either.
01:01:56
Zack
um Okay. Nose dive of the week. let's um Let's... What do you got 10s? Nose dive of the week.
01:02:04
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
ah The Jacksonville Jaguars are firmly picking first overall right now.
01:02:06
Zack
Hmm.
01:02:11
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
um You played a team.
01:02:15
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
The Vikings are the first team to win a game with zero touchdowns and three turnovers since 2006. Teams had lost 195 straight games with that stat line.
01:02:26
Zack
Ooh.
01:02:27
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
And the Jaguars are the one team that broke 195 game streak.
01:02:33
Zack
It's not good.
01:02:33
Mason
Tough.
01:02:38
Zack
Yeah.
01:02:39
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Jaguars lose without allowing a touchdown, 12-7 to the Vikings. How? The Jaguars offense. Three turnovers, 10 first downs, 143 yards. Fifth lowest in franchise history. 143 yards. The fifth lowest in franchise history when this franchise has had the likes of Blaine Gabbard, Chad Henney,
01:02:58
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Trent Edwards, Eric Gray. We had a game where our fourth fourth string wide receiver had to play quarterback because everyone in front of them was hurt, had more yards than this. And yet people constantly want to say Trevor Lawrence is the issue on this team.
01:03:13
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Trevor Lawrence has this team scoring over 20 points a game this season with this garbage offensive play scheme.
01:03:21
Zack
Mm.
01:03:21
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
So yes, the Jaguars, you're terrible, you suck. Travis Hunter is on the way.
01:03:27
Zack
Save Doug Peterson.
01:03:30
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Save Doug Peterson from who? Me? That's that's who you need to save him from.
01:03:34
Zack
Yeah, the haters. He's a good coach.
01:03:35
Mason
Travis Hunter is on the way, he says.
01:03:36
Zack
He deserves it.
01:03:39
Zack
OK, here we go. Knows that for the week. I'll go here. I'm going to pick one. team that I'm not afraid to talk trash to. I'll give all the bulletin moment to go to this team. Miami Hurricanes.
01:03:56
Mason
After they lose.
01:03:58
Zack
These guys stink. They have stunk all year.
01:04:00
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Zach.
01:04:02
Zack
ah They deserve to lose. they they should They should literally have three losses right now. They have one. Shout out to Georgia Tech for exposing them as the frauds that they are. I would love to play them in the playoffs.
01:04:13
Mason
Mm.
01:04:14
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Me too, right after they win the ACC.
01:04:16
Zack
they I do hope they win the SEC. Let me just put that on the record. I would love for them to get a three seed and then for Tennessee to meet their end of the second round of the playoffs.
01:04:28
Zack
Maybe the first round, Tennessee wins the SEC championship. Or maybe the third round.
01:04:33
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
o
01:04:34
Zack
OK. Mason, what do you got?
01:04:38
Mason
My uh nosedive of the week is the Jets Cowboys and Bears all together into one little nosedive because they combined for a total of 15 points You heard it a total if you take all three of those scores 15 points their opponent opponents points So the total score of the game would have been 15 to 84
01:04:49
Zack
Mm. It's not good.
01:05:02
Zack
It's not good, I say.
01:05:04
Mason
Nope. It was literally like six, six, and three was the total score of all three teams. Rough.
01:05:12
Zack
It's not good.
01:05:13
Mason
Nope.
01:05:15
Zack
OK, next type of the week. Mmm, I can go here first year.
01:05:20
Mason
So ready.
01:05:22
Zack
I have an actual next guy up Put in a bad situation forced to come into a game This is my Homer pic I'm picking Gaston Moore from your Tennessee volunteers came into the game My guy is not afraid to take to take the shots when he comes in.
01:05:42
Zack
He did it against Shoot who was it against Alabama? When did he come in for that one play and he threw that bomb that just got intercepted driveway?
01:05:53
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I think it was Alabama That sounds right
01:05:57
Mason
Mm.
01:05:57
Zack
the That does sound right for some reason. Yeah, he is not afraid to sling it a little bit. ah He came in and e he got three defensive pass interferences.
01:06:10
Zack
Uh, and one half of football on just like throwing deep balls and just making guys who run into his players, which was pretty funny. Um, he is a true definition of a next guy for the week here.
01:06:21
Zack
He came in and the team meeting him, got some big penalties. I don't know if he actually completed that many passes or not, but he handed the ball off really good. So we needed him to do shout out.
01:06:33
Mason
There you go.
01:06:35
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Mason I know yours is gonna probably set me off so let me just throw mine real quick.
01:06:39
Mason
I don't know what you're talking about.
01:06:40
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
um I'm going.
01:06:42
Mason
yeah
01:06:42
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
You have this before we started you said something and now I'm just I'm ready and the angry sharks are swimming. um Mine is George Pickens.
01:06:52
Mason
Hmm.
01:06:53
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
The Russell Wilson threw a long pass today. It got intercepted. George Pickens instead of instead of chasing down the guy who intercepted it, one of the corners started to block George Pickens and he body slammed him and then put him in a headlock and was choking him on the ground.
01:07:07
Zack
Ha ha ha.
01:07:09
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
ah That guy didn't have the ball, George Pickens. I don't know why you're attacking him. But it was funny. George Pickens is a ah he's he's a psychopath, but I love it.
01:07:20
Mason
That's funny. When you said George Pickens, I thought you were talking about the catch in the end zone, but you were talking about that play, which is even even and better.
01:07:27
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
No.
01:07:28
Mason
No, that's that's good. I saw that. Well, I didn't I didn't even notice it live because I was watching the interception and then I saw the play later and I was like, oh, he's literally like putting him in a headlock.
01:07:35
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah. George Pickens is off the rails at all times.
01:07:45
Mason
So we had some breaking news. Zach called for an emergency pod that didn't go through after the ah the Olympic breakdancer that was a basically, yes, turned into a meme.
01:07:53
Zack
Yep.
01:07:57
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Reagan.
01:08:00
Mason
The Vikings defensive back Cam Bynum did the same breakdancing celebration after he picked off Matt Jones at the During the game, so now you got to look it up like he does this celebration to it was perfect, huh?
01:08:12
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah.
01:08:16
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
It was perfect, too. Yeah, he did it perfectly.
01:08:21
Mason
Yeah, so that is my okay see I didn't set you off. It was a funny one Well it was a pic against your own team yeah, it was a picking at your own team Well there you go
01:08:25
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
No. Well, you before we started, you're like, I have one. Tinsley's going to love it. And every time you say something like that, oh, OK, so now I have to fight.
01:08:33
Zack
I thought it was jaguars adjacent. Yeah, I definitely did.
01:08:38
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I'm hate watching my old team right now. I wanted us to lose by more today, so there'd be no questions about Doug getting fired.
01:08:45
Mason
Zach, did you see the celebration? Look it up.
01:08:47
Zack
No.
01:08:48

Mason
Can bind him.

Next Guy Up Podcast Network
You know how like sometimes they get interceptions. They'll all run to the end zone camera and like flex and stuff. Our mascot got in the middle of them and was like, nope, can't do it in this one.
