00:00Now, in terms of the playoff itself, I have a feeling everybody in this room is probably
00:22to a certain extent rooting for SMU.
00:24I understand if people are rooting for Texas and TCU, don't forget about them.
00:29They're not in this bracket, I'm sorry to tell you.
00:31Don't forget about them, though.
00:33Is there another team besides the Texas teams that you guys are like, I would like to see
00:38them win?
00:40Would like to see win?
00:42Like, maybe win the whole thing.
00:44Well, I picked Oregon to beat Georgia in the National Championship game before the season,
00:48so I'd like to be right.
00:50And Dylan Gabriel, formerly OU quarterback now at Oregon, I'd like to see him have some
00:54success.
00:55Okay.
00:56In terms of these first round games, would love to see SMU go to Penn State and beat
01:01them.
01:02I think there's actually, of all the first round games, I think that has the highest
01:05likelihood of the lower seed beating the higher seed.
01:08That being said, if Penn State beats SMU, I might pick Penn State to go to the National
01:14Championship game.
01:16I think it's that much of a pivot.
01:18What Penn State showed me against Oregon in the Big Ten Championship game was a lot.
01:21I was really impressed with it.
01:24If you look at their bracket, if they beat SMU, Penn State would go to the Fiesta Bowl,
01:28play Boise State.
01:29I think Penn State's a better team than Boise State.
01:31If they can do enough to contain Ashton Janty and the rest of the team, I think they could
01:35win that game by double digits.
01:37Then they would play the winner, most likely Georgia, in the semifinal.
01:42Georgia's going to most likely start Gunnar Stockton, their backup quarterback.
01:45You have no idea what to expect out of him.
01:49And if Penn State's already won two games, and they go in the semifinals against a backup
01:53quarterback and a good Georgia team, SEC champion, don't want to say they're not, I don't know.
01:57I kind of like that path for them.
01:59If Penn State can beat SMU, which I don't know if they will.
