Introduction and Special Announcement
00:00:12
Mason
What is up, everybody? This is Mason with the Next Guy Up podcast. We got a very special episode for you. I got Zach on the other line here where we are ready to go.
00:00:20
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
What up?
00:00:23
Mason
ah We are missing a third member, and if you're wondering why, ah his third child was born today. So congrats to Tinsley and Morgan. Super pumped for them.
00:00:32
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Actually, I have a surprise. We're going to go live to the hospital room with the Tinsley youngest member now.
00:00:37
Mason
Switch it over right now.
00:00:41
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
ah He has some college takes about the playoff scenarios. And here he is.
00:00:47
Mason
That would be
College Football Playoff Talk
00:00:48
Mason
electric.
00:00:48
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Very good.
00:00:52
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
He says Indiana's frauds that deserve to make it.
00:00:55
Mason
How about Notre Dame?
00:00:55
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
That was his take. He told me earlier today.
00:00:59
Mason
So we did, yeah, we do have a lot of college football that we're going to cover.
00:01:00
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:01:03
Mason
Uh, if you're a Tennessee fan, like we are, was it, was it good or great?
00:01:05
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Mm hmm. Yeah.
00:01:08
Mason
A good weekend or a great weekend?
00:01:09
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
It was the best case scenario.
00:01:11
Mason
Yes.
00:01:12
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Honestly, the only thing that could have happened better is if Penn State had lost, ah Tennessee would be eyeing a a playoff home playoff game right now.
00:01:20
Mason
Hmm.
00:01:20
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
They're on the fringe of it. I think it could happen still if a couple of things break their way.
00:01:23
Mason
Yeah.
00:01:26
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Um, but yeah, it it was honestly best case scenario.
00:01:28
Mason
Best case.
00:01:29
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I was, I was watching the Ole Miss Florida game as if I was a true Florida fan, uh, as was many other Tennessee fans.
00:01:34
Mason
Yeah. ah I saw that.
00:01:39
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Apparently, uh, the Gator shop made an appearance in Newland by many Tennessee fans. Apparently there was a, probably the loudest cheer of the game. is whenever they show on the video board, ah Florida beating Ole Miss because all of a sudden opens up a playoff spot for your Tennessee volunteer.
00:01:57
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
So ah Tennessee is winning your end, take care of business against Vanderbilt and they are eyeing a playoff spot where they will land.
00:01:58
Mason
For sure.
00:02:06
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
No one knows as we, if this week told us anything, anything can happen here in this college football ball season.
00:02:07
Mason
No one knows.
00:02:12
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
And so we're not going to make any conjecture just yet. But ah the one thing is true, and as Tennessee wins next week, we will be in the playoffs. Which if you said that at the beginning of the season, all you need to do is beat Vanderbilt to make the playoffs.
00:02:26
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I think every single Tennessee fan will take that season. So we're going to be optimistic about it, positive.
00:02:29
Mason
For sure.
00:02:33
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I saw a couple of projections projecting Tennessee to play Georgia in the first round, which is not ideal.
00:02:38
Mason
Yeah, not ideal.
00:02:39
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
ah So we're going to hope there's some shakeups before that happens. But that was just some early projections. Anything can happen still.
00:02:47
Mason
Yeah, this feisty Vandy team, but I'm sure
Thanksgiving Poll Results
00:02:49
Mason
we'll kind of jump into that and kind of break that down. We had some messing around here that we were going to do before we continued the college football.
00:02:53
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
yeah yeah
00:02:56
Mason
Just want to throw out a little preview of what we'll be talking about, because ah really exciting stuff happened over the weekend.
00:03:00
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah, hot. It's hot right now.
00:03:02
Mason
Way more upsets than we anticipated. But speaking of an upset.
00:03:05
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Definitely.
00:03:07
Mason
Uh, we got, we got, we got some Thanksgiving coming around.
00:03:07
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
and
00:03:09
Mason
We've done some talk. We've done some Thanksgiving talk, but we've never, never done something like this, which is least favorite. According to an Instacart poll, least favorite Thanksgiving sides. Before I have you predict, do you have something that you just won't even touch?
00:03:23
Mason
Even if like, you know, aunt Susie brought it and you don't want to hurt her feelings. Would you still like eat it or is there something that you would just totally be against eating? That's a Thanksgiving staple.
00:03:35
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
It might be, it might be, uh, Sipping picks from later, but, uh, cranberries, anything cranberries, I'm good on.
00:03:35
Mason
Um.
00:03:41
Mason
Yeah.
00:03:45
Mason
You're good on, you'll pass on that.
00:03:46
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Literally. Yeah. It pretty much anything.
00:03:48
Mason
So I will say, one that I always feel like is a weird dish that I actually do like, and I think it's just cause we always had them growing up, but deviled eggs is kind of like a weird thing.
00:03:49
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
It's not.
00:03:58
Mason
And I feel like you either love them, like me and my brother would eat like six, seven, like a dozen of them, or you hate them and you're like, ew, kind of grossed out by it, but okay. So I'm going to have you guess.
00:04:10
Mason
Uh, we got, uh, according to this poll here, I have the ah top five least favorite side dishes for Thanksgiving.
00:04:18
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Okay.
00:04:19
Mason
So go ahead and take a guess.
00:04:23
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Um, top five least favorite.
00:04:26
Mason
Top five worst. Yeah. Least favorite.
00:04:31
Mason
The suspense.
00:04:31
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
How are these numbers calculated?
00:04:34
Mason
Uh, there was just a poll given and it's by percentages.
00:04:39
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Hmm, my percentages. I'm going, I think cranberry sauce is probably number like it's polarizing.
00:04:46
Mason
Mm, you would be correct. 27% of adults in the US said that that is their least favorite side. That is number one.
00:04:55
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Some people really like it and some people are like, ugh.
00:04:58
Mason
and that's Yeah, ah i don't hate I think I put a little bit on there just to say that I've had some, but it's not like, yeah, just just to put it on there and be like, hey, look, I'm i'm eating this.
00:05:05
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Just to feel festive, you know?
00:05:11
Mason
So ah cranberry sauce, number one.
00:05:14
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Okay.
00:05:14
Mason
What else would you throw in there? One of them is like super random. Like I would have never thought of this in a million years. I wouldn't even think of this as a, yeah, these are all sides.
00:05:21
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
As a Thanksgiving side dish.
00:05:24
Mason
So i will I'll go ahead and tell you, turkey and ham are not on this list.
00:05:26
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:05:27
Mason
So it's side dishes.
00:05:29
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
What about, I feel like this is not my opinion, but I feel like some people are really are anti-stuffing dressing.
00:05:38
Mason
That is not on the list, but I've heard of people saying that too. And I'm like, that's one of my more favorite, but also,
00:05:42
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I know, I like it.
00:05:44
Mason
We'll go ahead.
00:05:45
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
No, it's not. I just like it.
00:05:47
Mason
You can get into some controversy of people being like, it's not real stuffing.
00:05:47
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
It's good.
00:05:50
Mason
If it came from a box where you mix water, like it has to be like the stuffing actually in a Turkey, which I don't know if I've ever even like had that where it's like the actual, you know what I'm saying?
00:06:02
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Like you, you, you bake it in there and then you like take it out.
00:06:02
Mason
Huh?
00:06:04
Mason
Yeah. You bake it in the Turkey, I guess. Okay. Uh, I do want to, I'm throwing out more hints.
00:06:07
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Interesting.
00:06:09
Mason
Uh, there is a dessert on this list.
00:06:10
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Thank you. A dessert, uh, like pumpkin pie.
00:06:14
Mason
A dessert. That's not one of them.
00:06:18
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
People like pumpkin pie, I feel Um, is are there any that just like straight up vegetables on the side list list?
00:06:19
Mason
like
00:06:25
Mason
Yes, there is. Yep.
00:06:28
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Like green beans.
00:06:29
Mason
you're not I'll give it to you.
00:06:31
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I'm not a green bean.
00:06:31
Mason
Number two, green bean casserole.
00:06:34
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Oh, yeah. It's close. Okay.
00:06:36
Mason
25% of adults say that that's their least favorite.
00:06:37
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah. I can see that.
00:06:40
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Don't like it's your least favorite.
00:06:42
Mason
Yeah, least favorite.
00:06:43
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah. I can see that. Um, okay. I like that. Boy, I'm struggling with this, huh?
00:06:51
Mason
Well, I can just start throwing them out whenever we, whatever we give up.
00:06:53
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Okay, yeah, yeah, hit me. Hit me.
00:06:56
Mason
Number three, this was a weird one. Roasted autumn vegetables.
00:07:00
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Hmm.
00:07:02
Mason
Yeah.
00:07:02
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
They're so much healthy.
00:07:02
Mason
Number four, pecan pie or pecan as Tinsley likes.
00:07:05
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Wow.
00:07:06
Mason
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
00:07:07
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
That's hated?
00:07:08
Mason
I think a lot of people, either they allergies or people just don't like pecans.
00:07:10
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Haters?
00:07:13
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Hmm.
00:07:13
Mason
Uh, and then number five is sweet potatoes or yams.
00:07:18
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
People don't like them?
00:07:19
Mason
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
00:07:21
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
What a weird list.
00:07:22
Mason
That is a weird list. The thing that I, the cranberry sauce that grosses me out the most is if it's like in the can and it is can shape, like it literally has the rings around it that it just like came right out of the can.
00:07:24
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
America is stupid.
00:07:35
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Stuff that comes straight from the can that's like, I'm always going to be a little skeptical of.
00:07:35
Mason
But, uh, you're right.
00:07:40
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I'm just like, when was this made and how old is this? And, you know, you just never really know.
00:07:48
Mason
if We don't know.
00:07:48
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Which has its perks sometimes probably, but.
00:07:50
Mason
Yeah, for sure. All right. That was my messing around for, uh, for today there that with that little poll.
00:07:53
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Good work.
00:07:56
Mason
I'm sure we got, we'll be dropping an episode on, uh, on Thanksgiving day. So make sure to check that one out, but I'm sure we'll throw in a little more festive possibly who knows. So could be all business.
00:08:06
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Could be all business at that point. Tennessee season on the don't mess around in those situations.
00:08:12
Mason
It's true. It's a big deal. Um, Okay, Zach. Well, do we want to die? We've talked about in the past of doing, uh, having me predict a movie.
00:08:24
Mason
Do you have one or do, or do we want to just dive right into college football?
00:08:24
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Right. um ah do I do have one.
00:08:29
Mason
Oh gosh.
00:08:30
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
this This is one that we've talked about a lot.
00:08:30
Mason
Okay.
00:08:32
Mason
Okay.
00:08:33
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
um And it's always funny people, because I feel like I pick up like bits and pieces of movies, but I just don't understand what it actually is about.
00:08:44
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
So this has been a famous one we've talked about some. um The Shawshank Redemption.
00:08:51
Mason
Yes, we have talked about this.
00:08:53
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
But you've not watched it, right?
00:08:54
Mason
I have not, no.
00:08:56
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Okay. If, if, uh, if your life was on the line and the only way you could survive was to accurately explain this movie, how would you do something about it?
00:09:05
Mason
And that's the thing too, is like, I've heard of it. I know Denzel Washington is like the, let's, let's, so I know he breaks out of prison and he like,
00:09:10
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I'm sure not doing so. Samuel Samuel, Samuel Jackson. It's, um, it's definitely.
00:09:20
Mason
Wait, did I get the characters wrong?
00:09:25
Mason
You don't even know who's in it.
00:09:26
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
If, um, I know Morgan Freeman, Tim Robbins.
00:09:28
Mason
Morgan Freeman's in it. Wow. Okay. Well, Morgan Freeman crying through a sewage pipe to get out of prison.
00:09:36
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Okay.
00:09:36
Mason
He was wrongfully accused of doing something that he didn't do.
00:09:42
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Okay.
00:09:42
Mason
and got locked up in a prison. He befriends somebody. It's almost like a prison break. He's trying to get out of prison. And that's how it ends as him crying through the sewer to get out of prison.
Movie Misconceptions and Reviews
00:09:53

Mason
40%.
00:10:07
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Uh, maybe less.
00:10:07
Mason
Okay. I'll take it.
00:10:10
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
You make some of the characters up.
00:10:13
Mason
Okay.
00:10:13
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
So Morgan Freeman, this is, I'm going to, I'm not, I'm not going to spoil the whole movie, but if you haven't watched it and you want to watch it now's the time to log off or skip ahead about 30 seconds.
00:10:26
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Morgan Freeman is in prison and he has been in prison for a long time because he actually committed a crime.
00:10:29
Mason
Yes.
00:10:32
Mason
Okay.
00:10:34
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
He's actually a criminal. um Tim Robbins character ah whose name is Andy. It's Andy and red is Morgan Freeman's character Tim Robbins character is really smart and he is wrongly convicted of ah Like a fraud something like that.
00:10:52
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
He's like a he's a banker. So he's got he's good with money so he gets in um and Morgan Freeman is near the end of his sentence.
00:10:54
Mason
Okay, so I got a little bit of it. There we go.
00:11:04
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
He keeps getting denied for like parole because but he's been in prison for a long time and Andy shows up and they get a friendship and you are correct.
00:11:15
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
It it is at its core like a they're trying they're both trying to get out of prison situation.
00:11:23
Mason

00:11:26
Mason

00:12:02
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Were you entertained? Are you not entertained? Okay.
00:12:07

00:12:12
Next Guy Up Podcast Network

00:12:13

Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yes, correct. Man, my brain is not working. Yeah, Russell Crowe, back when he was like super jacked and in shape, I'm going to watch the second one eventually.

00:12:42
Mason
Okay, there we go.
00:12:42
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I have not seen anything. I will watch it. I'm pretty excited.
00:12:46
Mason
We'll have to, once you once you once you watch it, we'll have to do, should you watch that, so.
00:12:46
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I've heard it's good. And so Paul Mescal, Pedro Pascal.
00:12:53
Mason
Yep. And then there, I accidentally said, Denzel Washington's in this one for sure.
00:13:00
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
That's what he is in this one,
Ohio State vs. Indiana Game Review
00:13:02
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
definitely.
00:13:02
Mason
Yeah.
00:13:03
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Okay.
00:13:04
Mason
It looks good. We have watched the preview. It looks, yeah, so.
00:13:06
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Oh yeah, I think it's going to be good.
00:13:09
Mason
Okay, we have a packed college football.
00:13:10
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Okay. Oh boy.
00:13:12
Mason
A lot happened.
00:13:13
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
What a, what a mess.
00:13:14
Mason
So let's, yeah, I'll, here's, here's the thing. We felt pretty comfortable. What was the first game? Oh, when we saw, so I want to kind of go in order a little bit and you kind of break down, but Ohio state, you told me beforehand the last episode.
00:13:24
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Okay.
00:13:30
Mason
we needed a blowout against Indiana. So I think that was the first game, like that was a noon game and ah we sure did get that.
00:13:32
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Blow out.
00:13:38
Mason
Well, I don't know if you call it a blowout, but it was a semi blowout, 38 to 15. And you were asking, is that enough? This is before, I want to go through the timeline of Zach's head.
00:13:44
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Not enough well, okay yeah ah Okay, yeah Correct
00:13:47
Mason
This is before everything else happened. So at the time you were like, is that enough? And then what what do you want to, was there anything that shouted out at this game and we can just kind of keep going through these games as we go?
00:13:58
Mason
Because the Tennessee game was also going on at this time and there was no offense that had been had.
00:14:03
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I was not watching the sentence again That's where I was yesterday. I did not watch I've watched maybe like five minutes of the Tennessee game and i was I was watching like four other games at the same time because they were much more important at that point than the Tennessee game.
00:14:13
Mason
Yeah.
00:14:19
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
um with the With the Indiana game, I knew that if Indiana was going to drop that, it had to look really ugly, which it really was. It was like 31 to seven coming down the stretch, got into garbage time, Ohio State kind of messed around like Indiana score touchdown.
00:14:34
Mason
Yeah.
00:14:35
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
in a two point conversion 31 15 Ohio State scored another kind of garbage time touchdown, which made it 38 15, which on my head, I was like 35 is a number where I think if they had said one by 35, it would have been really ugly.
00:14:48
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
And the committee would have to think twice about it. That game matters much less now looking at the rest of what happened in the day.
00:14:55
Mason
Yeah.
00:14:56
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
um Luckily, if if if everything else had gone chalk, I would be very, very nervous right now. Um, and okay.
00:15:04
Mason
Yeah. So let's go ahead and jump into that. Cause it wasn't chalk.
00:15:07
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah, go ahead.
00:15:07
Mason
The next afternoon games was Florida and Ole Miss.
00:15:08
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:15:12
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
It was really like just, it was the same time slot, I think, wasn't it?
00:15:14
Mason
Oh, okay.
00:15:16
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Uh, it was, in it was, it was day.
00:15:16
Mason
Maybe it was.
00:15:18
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
It was the name.
00:15:18
Mason
I think it started. Yeah. I think it like ended later than that. Yeah, you're right.
00:15:21
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Maybe it did.
00:15:21
Mason
So that was, that game was going on and, uh, it was a, it was a close battle back and forth throughout the whole game.
00:15:28
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I was watching that one. That was like the game where I texted in a group text and I was like, this Tennessee season could be on the line right now. like If ah Florida wins, Tennessee is basically in the playoffs if they win next week. If Ole Miss pulls it out, Tennessee could get left out. like This this is could be the season on the line. and Jackson Dart imploded at the end of the game.
00:15:56
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
ah
00:15:56
Mason
Still had a chance again because they got the yeah, he had another chance.
00:15:56
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
i mean Clearly throws a pick Throws a pick Florida goes three and now has to punt it with about a minute and ah maybe a minute about a minute left Throws a pick turns out it was dropped comes was back on the field throws another pick.
00:16:11
Mason
Yep. Another pick.
00:16:13
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I mean he he threw three picks in like a matter of like like 10 minutes live time and ah That was pretty much it I mean Jackson starts a great player Florida
00:16:14
Mason
Hmm.
00:16:28
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
When it's all said and done, what the reality is this Florida team is playing pretty good football right now. DJ Lagway is legit.
00:16:33
Mason
Hmm.
00:16:35
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
He is gonna be a great quarterback next year. um
00:16:40
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
forancy All credits of Florida, I will say um it's it's easier to say this because we beat them, but they have battled. If you look at their schedule, they are six and five right now. I predicted three wins at the beginning of the season.
00:16:55
Mason
Yeah.
00:16:56
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
because their schedule was so difficult. Their six and five, their five losses, their worst loss was Kentucky, but their other four losses are to Tennessee, Alabama, no, Tennessee, Texas, Georgia,
00:17:15
Mason
And Miami.
00:17:15
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
and Miami. That's like, that's potentially for playoff teams. Um, I mean, it really is, it is for playoff teams.
00:17:21
Mason
Yeah.
00:17:23
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
So they lost to plus Kentucky. So when you look at this Florida team, I think they may be ranked. I think they might jump into like the of the AP poll. And I think they probably deserve to, um,
00:17:34
Mason
Yeah, so the some of their wins that they did have was over lsu old miss obviously they they beat kentucky 48 to 20 Uh No, they will yeah, they beat kentucky 48 to 20 on the 19th of october Uh, they took tennessee to overtime which had us all Kind of freaking out a little bit.
00:17:40
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
back to back loss. Right. right
00:17:51
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Hmm, okay. Hmm.
00:17:58
Mason
So Yeah, I don't know if you can but anyways fell let's see So let's continue. are you Are we good with that?
00:18:06
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Ah, so that one was, yeah, that was, that's huge.
00:18:07
Mason
are we good with ah So we had the Florida Ole Miss, and you you were feeling the most confident after that, but then we got some little extra like upsets that we were like, okay, we'll take them, right? You were just like, you know I wasn't expecting this, but we'll take it.
00:18:19
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Mm hmm.
00:18:21
Mason
I will say, I wanna just throw out one little shout out. UMass kept Georgia like on the, like, I know the score doesn't look like it, but the beginning of that game, I was like, what what's happening right now?
00:18:28
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:18:32
Mason
Is this gonna be, is this gonna like come down to the wire here and then Georgia's just, you know, but it was 21 to 14 and Georgia did, huh?
00:18:39
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Texas A Texas A&M was the other Florida loss.
00:18:45
Mason
Okay, there you go.
00:18:45
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I was wrong. Yeah.
College Football Field Storming Debate
00:18:47
Mason
21 to, it was 21 to 14 in the second quarter, Georgia and UMass.
00:18:47
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
That's it. and good team
00:18:52
Mason
And then UMass like just got trampled on.
00:18:55
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
which is what supposed to happen to those type of team.
00:18:58
Mason
Exactly. But let's go ahead and go to like the other couple of upsets.
00:18:58
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
But.
00:19:01
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
OK.
00:19:03
Mason
you were You were, let's walk them through.
00:19:04
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Penn State nearly happened.
00:19:07
Mason
Do what?
00:19:08
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Penn State was a near upset.
00:19:10
Mason
Yes, almost there. ah Minnesota, very close.
00:19:11
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Very close, which would have been big. yeah mean it'sly great Penn State fraud fraud watch.
00:19:13
Mason
And Minnesota.
00:19:18
Mason
fraud watch. There we go. Um, and I want to, when we talk about some of the predictions, we'll see where they end up lining up, but then Arizona state and BYU and B Y.
00:19:24
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
OK.
00:19:29
Mason
Oh my gosh. What a crazy ending to that one.
00:19:31
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
It was One of the most wild things I've seen Is there a worse feeling?
00:19:31
Mason
They had to get everybody off the field.
00:19:38
Mason
um
00:19:40
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
than like it because it always you always think back to um The band getting on in the field before the final play the bands out on the field it feels like that like what would happen if they had hit that home area at the end and it was like oh man, I I would love to know why they, how did how did um Arizona State not receive like multiple penalties for, like I feel like that should be an on field penalty at that point.
00:19:46
Mason
Yeah.
00:19:52
Mason
che they They almost did at the end. That would have been.
00:20:05
Mason
That should be, yes. Cause then it was delay. It was a 13 minute delay. So then you're having the whole, you're having both sides, but especially like BYU kind of waiting around out of it a little bit.
00:20:18
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I mean, a 15 yard penalty would have put them close to range where they could have,
00:20:18
Mason
um
00:20:24
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Gotta touchdown pretty like they could have really taken a ah pretty good shot at it.
00:20:24
Mason
Yeah.
00:20:28
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
So Yeah Yeah is so many fields forms yesterday
00:20:28
Mason
And we've we've talked about this on the on the pod before about ah storming the court when Caitlin Clark got hit one time and some of these players, I think a Duke player like kind of flopped one time. and But I always wonder if this will be something that would just like, they will they will somehow find a way to prevent this from, I don't know if it ever will.
00:20:50
Mason
And sometimes they're not even, I'm like, okay, have you ever looked at and you're like, does that actually deserve, a I know BYU was, do what?
00:20:56
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah, Nebraska yesterday. But Nebraska stormed the field yesterday, and it was like, ugh.
00:21:01
Mason
Yes, yeah. So BYU was in the playoff standing, right? They were they there were so before then?
00:21:07
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
um No, and because they lost last week as well.
00:21:11
Mason
Yeah, so, okay.
00:21:11
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
They had dropped out. But the winner of the Big 12 obviously is going. um And BYU's been there all year.
00:21:15
Mason
Yeah.
00:21:18
Mason
Yeah, he's scheduled art.
00:21:18
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
It turns out BYU's maybe not that great, and had benefited from a pretty easy schedule up to this point. But Arizona State now in the driver's seat, after another game, we're going to talk about Colorado's performance.
00:21:30
Mason
oh
00:21:31
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
The Big 12 is kind of a disaster right now overall.
00:21:34
Mason
Yeah, it really is.
00:21:35
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
there's It's a mess. like if you look at If you look at conference championship projections right now, people aren't even trying to predict Big 12 because it is a disaster. Like, it could go many, many different ways next week, just to because anyone could lose.
00:21:51
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
um No one's locked into a spot. every Everything is in flux still. What a wild conference that is. One of them is getting into the playoffs.
00:22:02
Mason
Yeah, has to.
00:22:04
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Probably will not be BYU.
00:22:06
Mason
So yeah, Colorado takes her third loss.
00:22:07
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Could be.
00:22:11
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Tough.
00:22:11
Mason
Bummer. You had to take it. You had a Colorado ticket.
00:22:13
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Only second big 12 loss so there's they could still make the change they can still make the championship game and make the playoffs So they're not out of it.
00:22:15
Mason
I think so. We're not out of it yet.
00:22:20
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah, there's still there's still a chance for all of them to make the championship game.
00:22:21
Mason
Okay.
00:22:23
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I think the big 12 Big 12 is such a mess right now.
00:22:23
Mason
Yeah. Uh, are we sounding the cannons on any team yet?
00:22:30
Mason
Yeah.
00:22:33
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
It's hard to even um I think
00:22:34
Mason
Yeah.
00:22:42
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
That's a good question.
00:22:44
Mason
Okay. Well, while, while you're kind of, okay, while you're looking at that, um, with the Colorado game, Travis Hunter looks like he's locked up Heisman.
00:22:44
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
but I'll do some research.
00:22:52
Mason
He, he caught a 51 yard pass and a 26 yard pass once again, doing the Heisman pose. And all of a sudden I look on draft Kings and Travis Hunter's minus 800.
00:23:02
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Oh my gosh.
00:23:04
Mason
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Mine is so jumped up crazy. He had eight receptions, 125 yards, and two TDs, huh?
00:23:07
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
What does he say he looked kind of mid yesterday? Boise State looked kind of mid yesterday as well.
00:23:13
Mason
Yeah. So that game, Kansas, 37, Colorado, 21. And it didn't even look fairly close, to be honest. From the very beginning, like, Kansas took a 17 to nothing lead.
00:23:26
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Kansas is like the hottest team in the country right now. I'm not even joking.
00:23:30
Mason
Who are they playing in? Not even joking.
00:23:32
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Like they, I'm serious.
00:23:33
Mason
get a
00:23:35
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Like they, they're playing for a bowl game next week.
00:23:35
Mason
They play Baylor next week.
00:23:39
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
But they in the last couple of weeks, like look at their schedule. They've beaten four ranked teams in a row.
00:23:46
Mason
Yeah.
00:23:46
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
They beat Kansas State, Iowa State, BYU, and Colorado.
00:23:52
Mason
It's pretty good.
00:23:52
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
They're taking out the top of the Big 12 all in a row. like That was four contenders.
00:23:57
Mason
It's pretty good.
00:23:58
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
um So unfortunately, they started off the season very slow. And so they so they're fighting for it. But they're coming on strong. ah Shout out. To them, I hope they can make a ballgame because they're a fun story right now.
00:24:13
Mason
So we're going into, yeah, so we're going into a couple of games and I'm like, okay, I'm happy with how today's gone.
00:24:13
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
They're five and six though.
00:24:20
Mason
Well, we're not even done yet because, uh, we don't really, we can speed by Notre Dame and army Notre Dame blue blood army, but and here we got a couple of games.
00:24:20
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Right. We're not even done.
00:24:28
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah, whatever.
00:24:31
Mason
Go ahead. You pick, you pick which one. Cause we got a couple of
Surprising Game Outcomes
00:24:34
Mason
them on the, on the list here.
00:24:35
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
At the end of the game, at the end of the, um,
00:24:36
Mason
Yeah. At the end of the day here.
00:24:39
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I mean, I think the biggest surprise for everyone was the Bama Oklahoma result.
00:24:45
Mason
Yeah, yeah.
00:24:47
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
um Jalen Millrow. I mean, this is Oklahoma team that has been pretty derided throughout the course of this year as their offense is bad, which it is bad.
00:24:57
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
um And they basically just said, we're not going to pass the ball. We're just going to run the ball until they can stop it.
00:25:04
Mason
That's what happened.
00:25:05
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Jackson Arnold.
00:25:05
Mason
Yeah, he had 68.
00:25:06
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
He's not the greatest passer in the world.
00:25:08
Mason
Yeah, he had 68 passing yards.
00:25:11
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
How many rushing yards do you have? Do you have the number by himself?
00:25:13
Mason
He had 131 rushing yards. He had 25 carries.
00:25:16
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
yes we have So he's basically a glorified, like running back at this point. And he is running Alabama's defense around the field like they couldn't stop it.
00:25:20
Mason
Yeah.
00:25:27
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
um On the other side of the ball, Oklahoma's defense, which has been good this season, really stepped up. They got to Millrow all game. They cannot block them.
00:25:39
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Alabama's offensive line struggled mindily to stop this Oklahoma pass rush. Um, they couldn't, I saw a stat that Alabama's running backs got a combined 15 carries for the game.
00:25:52
Mason
Mm.
00:25:53
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
It's not great.
00:25:55
Mason
Nope.
00:25:56
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Um, so the running game has continued to just be completely ignored this season by Kaitlyn DeBoer. Millrow struggled, throws I think three interceptions throughout the course of the game.
00:26:09
Mason
He did, yeah.
00:26:11
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
including some big ones late. They just never got anything going. I mean, they couldn't they couldn't score when they got an opportunity. ah Oklahoma's defense continued to step up. they they had They blew it open in the first half, and then they didn't mean they just got the coast in through the second half with good defense.
00:26:27
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
So huge, huge game for an Oklahoma team that has struggled in the SEC this year.
00:26:28
Mason
Oh, oh, yeah.
00:26:33
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
um I think that's big for their confidence going into, I mean, no one's expecting them to They've struggled they're like two and five in the sec or something like that, but that is a huge win for them And for the program It's a lot of rushing yards folks, yeah, um if they can get their offense together Maybe save venable's job potentially Um, uh very very practically could have changed uh could have saved his job so
00:26:46
Mason
They had 260 rushing yards. Oklahoma did. Yeah. And they had. Yeah that 49 rushing attempts total Could be
00:27:08
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Huge game, Bama. I wish there was a podcast that might have predicted something like this would happen in year one for a new head coach, but Alabama struggled. um They have three lost on the fur in the season. They're out of the playoffs, right?
00:27:27
Mason
I would think so.
00:27:27
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
These people keep, according to the the talking heads around, they're they're like first out right now, which I think is absolutely, we'll get there, but I think that is nuts.
00:27:27
Mason
Right.
00:27:38
Mason
You're just talking about Colorado having three losses and still haven't.
00:27:38
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Uh, that, but they, ah they, because they're going to, they could win the big 12 championship.
00:27:44
Mason
Yeah, they could.
00:27:45
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
That's the only way they get it.
00:27:45
Mason
Why would Alabama, I think Alabama, the only reason is just because of the college themselves. Like it's the savings not even there, but it's just like the winning.
00:27:54
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
I think a three loss team should be considered. I don't think it's Alabama.
00:27:58
Mason
No.
00:27:59
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
We'll get there. We'll get there.
00:28:00
Mason
Okay. Okay. Last one, unless you had another one, uh, would be this four over time shootout.
00:28:02
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yep.
00:28:07
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Wild.
00:28:10
Mason
And no that was one that I was, yeah, we were talking about if Texas A and&M beat, because i they played Texas next week, right?
00:28:10
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Wild game fun one
00:28:18
Mason
and And you were like, well, then you'd be putting Texas A and&M in there. And so I was like, oh crap, you're probably right. So I was a little worried. But so Texas A&M plays up against Auburn. And what an insane game.
00:28:29
Mason
Did you watch this game?
00:28:31
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
yes I watched almost all of this game um It was all in at the same time I was watching the Bama game I actually watched a lot of I watched most of the games yesterday the big ones
00:28:31
Mason
Or pieces of? So break it down for us.
00:28:37
Mason
Yeah.
00:28:41
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
And um really fun. Obviously A&M struggled.
00:28:50
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
They, it really came down to the fact that Auburn, who has been very not, just a pretty, Peyton Thorne has struggled all season. Offensively Auburn has been pretty bad.
00:29:04
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
they They went out to this huge lead, like 21-0 in the first half. um A couple of huge plays and turnovers and really through A and&M, through a haymaker at A and&M in the first quarter. I mean, was it was like 21-0 quick. um Their offense really stalled out after that, which is to be expected because Auburn's offense is just not great. um A and&M fought back. It was like, I think there was 21-14 at halftime, something like that.
00:29:32
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
They continued to fight where it was tied up. A&M took a lead and I really thought A&M was kind of kind of just walk away with it. Auburn kept fighting though at home kind of for their season. It was like it was the same situation in Oklahoma. These games were similar where it was like a spoiler opportunity for a team that's really struggled to get a huge win.
00:29:53
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
um on their schedule to kind of end the season. And it happened both ways. Auburn fought, went to overtime, had a chance to win it in regulation.
00:30:01
Mason
They had a lead. Yeah. The 31 to 28.
00:30:03
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yeah, really probably should have won it in regulation, didn't. Which is another situation where you're like, wow, they shouldn't throw this game away. When they came out, Texas A&M dropped a game tying two point conversion and it was a bad drop in fourth overtime.
00:30:15
Mason
Saw that.
00:30:20
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
And it was a fun game, really fun. Auburn, big win.
00:30:24
Mason
Big one.
00:30:24
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
We've got a really weird game next next week now.
00:30:25
Mason
ah Yes, yeah.
00:30:26
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
The Iron Bowl is weird because Auburn is fighting for a bowl game and you have ah ba a Bama team that now is I guess on their last leg for a playoff spot still, which seems crazy.
00:30:33
Mason
Bowl game.
00:30:42
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
yeah well We'll get there. um Interesting game going on though. It was ah overall a very fun day of college football some weird stuff going on um It was like I went into the day thinking there was about six games that needed to go one only one of them needed to go the right way and I think Tennessee would have been a pretty good spot and really two or three of them ended up falling that way and so it ended up being great ah Indiana ended up not mattering as much because
00:30:51
Mason
For sure. Yeah.
00:31:06
Mason
Almost all of them. Yeah.
00:31:15
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
They're gonna get in, I think, if everything like I said, if any if everything else had gone chalk, Indiana would have a serious conversation, but now it doesn't matter because the SEC kind of just ripped itself apart there. um cup three Three teams that were projected to be playoff bound are no longer playoff bound. A and&M, just for the record though, does still have a chance to get in the playoffs.
00:31:42
Mason
With beaten Texas.
00:31:43
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
The winner of Texas and Texan will go to the SEC championship game.
00:31:45
Mason
That's it.
00:31:47
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
So if A and&M beats Texas and then beats Georgia, they will be in the playoffs, which at which point they will deserve to be in the playoffs probably.
00:31:47
Mason
There you go.
00:31:51
Mason
but of For sure. But those two wins.
00:31:54
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
um Which will take a spot probably from the ACC maybe or from a three loss SEC team.
00:32:03
Mason
Yeah.
00:32:04
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Well, do we want to do p playoff potential right now?

I didn't know if you want to do that or save it for the Thanksgiving shenanigans episode.
00:32:12
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Okay. we can Yeah, we can save it. um We can wait till after the playoff rankings drop.
00:32:14
Mason
Yeah.
00:32:17
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
A couple teams are eliminated, but a lot of teams are still on the table. So pretty interesting stuff there in the SEC, but yeah, we can save it for Thursday.
00:32:22
Mason
Yeah.
00:32:26
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
That's fine.
00:32:27
Mason
That way we'll have a better idea.
00:32:28
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
We'll have the rankings already.
00:32:28
Mason
Do you have any predictions going in? Like just some short, quick ah predictions going in or do you want to save it?
00:32:37

I think the the big question mark going into week 13 is going to be Will the committee put two s two ACC teams in or a three loss SEC team?
00:32:51
Mason
time.
00:32:51

Like Bama or South Carolina, who is my pick. I think South Carolina is more deserving than Alabama at this point, but whatever. um they They won the head to head, so that's probably why Bama is getting the nod ahead of him and some rankings. but um I think the big question mark is going to be, if SMU Miami play in the ACC championship, what happens to the loser of that game?
00:33:17
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Do they fit into um one of those spots? Or will like a three loss SEC team like in Bama fit into that last spot?
00:33:27
Mason
Yeah.
00:33:28
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Which is the spot Tennessee was fighting for last week. Luckily, Tennessee has moved up now. So Tennessee is no longer there. But
Playoff Scenario Predictions
00:33:36
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
that last spot is kind of the one up for grabs right now. I think you're still looking at four big 10 teams, the same four. And you're looking at, there's three SEC teams that look good. That would be Texas, Georgia, and Tennessee if Tennessee wins next week. Will we get a fourth SEC team? Or will there be a second ACC team? So that's kind of the big question mark right now, I think.
00:34:00
Mason
All right. Awesome. So we'll, we'll break that down.
00:34:02
Next Guy Up Podcast Network
Yep.
00:34:03
Mason
