00:00All right, welcome back in here.

00:01The early line on the Sports Grid Network.

00:04Joe Ranieri alongside Adam Kaufman as, well, week three in the books in the NFL.

00:10We have said goodbye to week four of the college football season.

00:14So week five is straight ahead here, Adam, in college football.

00:18Good news is Arch Manning actually found a team he could look competent against,

00:23but he won't be playing the Sam Hustons of the world.

00:28Much else.

00:29But I got to tell you, there's a lot of questions.

00:31Were you watching him in the end zone standing over guys as he's running in the ball?

00:37Like, I love the, I've seen it all over social media too.

00:42Like, are we, Arch Manning is flexing on guys that are going to be, you know,

00:46DoorDash drivers in a few years.

00:48Like, can we act like you've been there before just a little bit?

00:53Yeah, well, he hasn't.

00:55That's the problem.

00:55Uh, and you got to know your audience and his audience was, uh, anybody watching him

01:01score a touchdown, he was over the top, but, you know, live and learn, uh, and Texas is

01:06going to have its hands full coming up the rest of the way.

01:09But so are some of these other teams here.

01:12We got big top 25 matchups and it's put up or shut up time here.

01:17Alabama taking on Georgia.

01:19This is a rivalry that Kirby Smart has dominated here recently.

01:24Certainly, uh, certainly Nick Saban, uh, is long gone in Alabama, uh, Kaelin DeBoer and I saw,

01:31you know, some guys love him.

01:33Some guys hate him.

01:34Every time he loses a game, his job's on the line, apparently.

01:36Uh, but a big win on the road against Georgia would go a long way to kind of, uh, maybe settling

01:44down the, uh, let's pay him and get him out of here crowd that, uh, we heard a lot about

01:49after Alabama lost to Florida state, which by the way, that doesn't look like a terrible

01:54loss now, does it?

01:56No, it doesn't, but still it is a two touchdown loss and Alabama, if nothing else, it's that

02:02Alabama name, right?

02:03You know, with the crimson side, the expectations are always higher, no matter what's going on,

02:08obviously with Florida state and the fact that this team is looking more than competent,

02:11but you go out and your two wins are against Louisiana Monroe and Wisconsin, Wisconsin just

02:17lost as a 10 point favorite at home.

02:20Um, so, you know, it's not like those wins are looking particularly impressive either.

02:25I think for me, Joe, and, and this is, this will bear itself out, but I don't expect it to be all

02:30that inspiring against Georgia.

02:32Do you really feel like you can trust Ty Simpson?

02:35Are you a believer in Ty Simpson right now?

02:38I'm not, you know, I don't feel like this is a team that's, that's going anywhere.

02:42That's doing anything.

02:43I don't necessarily trust the post Nick Saban coaching, and I definitely don't trust the

02:48quarterback situation.

02:49I think the offense has been way too inconsistent, sloppy, and just uninspiring.

02:55And so I think George is going to roll them in this game.

02:58I don't think this is even going to be competitive.

03:01Connor Stockton there.

03:02We'll see if he can get it done at home against Bama.

03:05And listen, congratulations, coach Franklin.

03:08You have the three absolute cupcakes of cupcake games that you have in your bag, but now Penn

03:16State, all the hype around this team.

03:19All right.

03:19Well, happy Valley.

03:20Welcome into Oregon, number three versus number six.

03:24So the big question is, well, we're going to learn is Oregon back.

03:28Is Penn State really as good as everyone thinks they are in this game?

03:32Three, three and a half right now on the board.

03:35Rematch of the big 10 championship.

03:37Obviously, the most important thing from this one, Joe, is the winner gets a tiebreaker,

03:42you know, in that conference, which is so substantial, obviously, going forward, because

03:47it's certainly conceivable these teams finish with the same record by the end.

03:52We're still so early on in this season.

03:54You know, I think Penn State's offense is, you know, obviously one to be reckoned with.

04:00They're always a team that you're looking at there.

04:02You're considering overs.

04:03You're considering the team total overs, all of that, and they're in their matchups.

04:07Now, obviously, you're going up against a defense that could slow you down just a little bit.

04:14Obviously, a prolific offense on the other side as well.

04:17I just think, I don't know that I've got this hot take surrounding the spread and who ultimately

04:22wins this game.

04:23But for me, it's the over.

04:24You know, I just think we're going to get a boatload of points in this game.

04:28I don't think we're going to have too many stops.

04:30I think you're going to see these teams run up and down the field all the way throughout.

04:33And it wouldn't surprise me if Oregon prevailed.

04:36But I just don't want to bet against Penn State in this situation.

04:42Tough, tough place to go in and win at, that is for sure.

04:47But some great, and I mean great college football games coming up, not just this week, but over

04:52the next couple of weeks.

04:53And I can tell you, down here in Florida, the Florida State University of Miami game

04:59coming up also is maybe the biggest thing to happen down here since the Dolphins going

05:04undefeated when none of us were ever born.
