00:00We also have the Celebration Bowl. Early on this Saturday, noon Eastern, pick a great moment at the

00:10FCS level between the champions of the SWAC, that is Jackson State, and the champions of the MEAC,

00:16that is South Carolina State. Now SC State is a favorite in this game around a two and a half

00:22point number, Kev. Total stands at 53 and a half. The MEAC has been dominant in the eight ever

00:28meetings in a Celebration Bowl, winning six of those eight. Does that continue today? I don't

00:34think so. I took the points with Jackson State. Look, it's tricky to tell who's the better of the

00:38conferences. You mentioned the recent history, but when you compare where these teams sat relative to

00:48efficiency-wise, you could argue the best pass defense and pass offense as well. The head-to-head

00:54that these teams happen to share, Florida A&M, who did beat South Carolina State this year.

01:00I like Jackson State as well. They have the better rushing attack, averaging 218 on the

01:04ground. That's the difference. Irv Mulligan, one of the leaders at the FCS level.
