00:02 Let me give you this, 'cause it's been a while.

00:05 I know we've been saying earlier in the show,

00:07 we've been waiting for this,

00:08 and waiting, and waiting, and waiting.

00:10 Alabama and Michigan, Texas and Washington,

00:12 Monday is finally the day that we'll be there.

00:13 And by the way, Joe, everybody should also know,

00:16 Sports Greed will have you covered,

00:18 pillar to post, Joe, for these games coming up on Monday.

00:23 That's for sure.

00:23 I know that me and Ranieri are doing in-game live

00:26 before the game.

00:27 You, Ben, and K-Dub will do college football today,

00:31 pre-game, leading into the first game.

00:34 Pharrell will be on with Blewett and Rich Terminello

00:38 during the first game.

00:39 And then you guys have the entire second game.

00:42 So wall-to-wall coverage, Joe,

00:44 of the semis coming up on Monday.

00:46 Can't wait, that's what it's all about.

00:48 At the mothership too, huh?

00:50 I can't wait.

00:52 At the headquarters, we got Pharrell.

00:55 Can't wait, this is what it's all about.

00:56 Great college football today.

00:58 Pre-game, two good games on tap.

01:00 You want me to give you the breakdowns?

01:01 I'll tell you who I like early on.

01:03 I mean, I've made no bones about it.

01:06 I like one favorite and one dog.

01:08 I like Michigan and I like Washington,

01:10 and I'm not backing down.

01:12 So come get some, Carver, you feel strong?

01:15 - So nothing's really changed for you when it comes to this.

01:18 Michigan minus one and a half,

01:20 44 and a half in the first game.

01:22 Texas now minus four.

01:24 That's come down a slight bit, Joe.

01:26 Wasn't that four and a half, five?

01:28 Maybe it was four and a half.

01:30 And the 63 and a half for the total in that game.

01:33 - Well, I mean, I think if any game's gonna get over,

01:37 it's that one because of how the quarterbacks

01:39 wanna push tempo with yours and Michael Pinnock's.

01:43 But I think Pinnock's has the weapons

01:44 to challenge them over the top.

01:46 I think he's more battle-tested.

01:48 He's got a little more experience.

01:50 And I think that's what allows him

01:51 to pull that ball game out.

01:53 And then the other, the reason why I like Michigan

01:55 over Alabama comes down to Alabama's offensive line.

01:59 And I know we keep saying about Michigan

02:01 hasn't seen the versatility of Jalen Milrow.

02:04 That offensive line is not the same.

02:06 You know, you talk about 40 plus sacks allowed,

02:08 you know, 4.7 yards per rush,

02:11 a little inconsistent in terms of third down opportunities.

02:14 And I understand body of work has been maybe more

02:17 for Alabama than there is Michigan,

02:20 but I'll take the blue collar team.

02:22 They're gonna run it and they're gonna continue to run it.

02:24 And don't be shocked if JJ McCarthy runs it

02:28 right down Nick Saban's drought.

02:30 - I know you always love when I give you stuff like this.

02:35 There are three times as many bets on Alabama,

02:40 the spread and the money line,

02:43 than any other team in the college football playoff.

02:47 - Love it.

02:48 - How about that?

02:49 Everybody run into the window

02:51 for Nicky and the Crimson Tide, Joe.

02:54 You love seeing stuff like this.

02:56 - I think I might alter it up to nine and a half

02:59 to get that double digit.

03:00 I might have to do that.

03:02 I gotta put it out there.

03:03 I mean, it could be a seven point or a three point game

03:07 headed into the fourth quarter.

03:09 Give me a Donovan Edwards or a Blake Coram

03:11 or a JJ McCarthy, Tutty,

03:14 to just put them over the top.

03:16 And Cap, nine and a half is as high as I'll go, Carp.

03:20 - Nine and a half is as high as you go.

03:23 I'm staying where I was, Joe.

03:25 I'm on Alabama in the first game.

03:28 And go ahead and give me the nine and a half.

03:31 When we do the picks on Friday,

03:32 you'll give me the nine and a half

03:34 on the radio show if you so like to.

03:36 And I'm with you on Washington.

03:39 I do think that Washington is the side in the second game.
