00:00These are the four teams, of course, that are in the college football playoff right

00:07now from the Big Ten, and this is who they have remaining over these last four weeks

00:13of the season.

00:14You know Indiana.

00:15They play Michigan.

00:16They have Abay.

00:17They're at Ohio State.

00:18They have Purdue.

00:19Ohio State has Purdue, Northwestern, Indiana, and Michigan.

00:22Oregon has Maryland, Wisconsin, Abay, and Washington.

00:26And Penn State has Washington, Purdue, Minnesota, and Maryland.

00:29So other than the Ohio State-Indiana game, that's the only game involving two of those

00:36teams playing each other over the last four weeks of the Big Ten season.

00:42Yeah, you know, Indiana's all that Ohio State has to worry about right there, right?

00:47What did you say their four games are right there?

00:49They have Purdue, who stinks.

00:52They have Northwestern at Wrigley, who stinks.

00:56So Indiana's a really tough game.

00:58And they finish with Michigan, who, you know, isn't that great this year.

01:02So they're probably going to finally get some revenge.

01:03And Oregon's going undefeated.

01:05They're not losing any of those games.

01:07Washington's not good.

01:10Oregon's not losing these games.

01:11I mean, do you think Oregon's going to go into Camp Randall and lose to Wisconsin?

01:15I don't.

01:16No.

01:17I don't see that.

01:18And they're not going to lose at home.

01:19Ohio State, did they?

01:20They went in there and beat their ass.

01:21No.

01:22And Oregon's definitely not losing at home to Maryland or Washington.

01:25So I don't think that they're going to do either of those.

01:28Where is that Penn State-Minnesota game?

01:31That game's at Minnesota.

01:32That could be a problem for Penn State, that game.

01:38That would help out a lot of people.

01:39They would knock them out of the playoff if they lost.

01:43I think that they would be in Swetsville, absolutely.

01:47There's the game right there.

01:48On the other side.

01:49That's the game right there.

01:50You've got to keep an eye on.

01:51There's the one.

01:52Indiana's probably going to lose at Columbus.

01:54And I pray that Penn State loses in Minneapolis to the Gophers and your boy Fleck will row

02:01the boat, whatever that means.

02:03He's having a good year.

02:05We've talked a lot about the remaining undefeated teams in college football.

02:10Who's the best one-loss team in college football?

02:14Georgia.

02:15Obviously, you would say it's either Georgia or Texas or Ohio State.

02:18But there are a couple other one-loss teams here.

02:19Iowa State, SMU, Notre Dame, Boise State, Pitt, Washington State, also all in the one-loss

02:26mix coming into the last one.

02:28Look at the raging Cajuns.

02:29The raging Cajuns.

02:30They're not in the conversation, though.

02:31It's Georgia.

02:32No.

02:33They're the best team.

02:34Yes.

02:35Everyone keeps trying to sell you that it's Ohio State that's going to win the national

02:40championship.

02:41I'm telling you, if they play them, they're going to beat them.

02:43If it's Ohio State, Georgia, Georgia's going to win that game.

02:47Texas has the highest-graded defense in college football this season, followed by South Carolina.

02:52Indiana.

02:53So, Indiana gets pumped up about their offense.

02:55Their defense has been very good, as well, ranked third.

02:59Ohio State, four, Ole Miss, and Oregon.

03:02So, Ole Miss on that list.

03:04They play Georgia this week in what could be a very big game.

03:08Very big game.

03:09So, here's the question.

03:10Ohio State and Indiana in a couple weeks, and we know what they both can do offensively,

03:17and we both know that they're top five defensively.

03:20So, is the game in Columbus going to be a slugfest and an under, or is it going to be

03:28wild and an over?

03:30Because both of them play defense.

03:32Is that going to be a 20-17 football game?

03:38I don't think so, just because of how I've watched Indiana play this year.

03:44I think that if Indiana's got a team that's going, I think it's going to be more in the

03:47mid-20s.

03:48Like, if that totals between 55 and 60, I think you might be able to talk me into an

03:54under with Indiana and Ohio State in a couple of weeks.

03:58If it's under 55, I'd probably play the over.

04:02I think there'll be some points.

04:04I don't think it'll be a 20-17 type of game.

04:06I think we'll get some scoring.

04:07They score too much, both of them, right?

04:08Ohio State moves up and down the field, so does Indiana, but their defenses are both

04:12so good.

04:13I wonder, what gives here?
