01:00Welcome to the Barstool College Football Show, Week 6.
01:06We are back in studio.
01:07We've been on the road for a couple weeks, boys.
01:09It's been fun.
01:09Big noon kickoff is a blast.
01:11A lot of fun.
01:12A lot of fun.
01:12Great crew.
01:13Great stuff.
01:13Yes.
01:14Great crowds.
01:15Dave, how are you feeling about going to Ann Arbor this weekend?
01:18Good.
01:19I mean, it's not a...
01:19Obviously, always good to be back at the alma mater.
01:22I don't think it's going to be a very close or interesting game, but I'm excited to be back there.
01:25Dan, how do you feel?
01:27That was our game preview.
01:29Good job, Dave.
01:30Good game preview.
01:31We don't have to talk anymore about it.
01:33It is interesting that this week the desk is all playing each other.
01:36We've got...
01:36Probably week.
01:36Yeah.
01:37Michigan, Wisconsin, A&M, Mississippi State.
01:39Ev, how are you feeling over there?
01:40I feel good.
01:41I mean, big win for the Buckeyes last week.
01:43They look good on the West Coast.
01:44They do look like the best team in the country.
01:46The defense is incredible.
01:48The secondary is insane.
01:50I mean, Caden Curry was everywhere.
01:52I mean, I said before the defense might be better.
01:55Brandon, Casey, T-Bops, the other guys laughed at me.
01:57I think they are.
01:57I genuinely believe they are.
01:58I said today on part of my take that I think they're better than last year's team.
02:02They might be.
02:02I think the defense is better.
02:04The offense is...
02:05And we pumped some breaks.
02:06It's close.
02:06It's possible.
02:07I think the offense is going to come along.
02:08I think they had a very specific game.
02:10In the Bizarro world?
02:11Walker.
02:12That's...
02:13That was Bizarro world.
02:14Walker's saying pump the breaks in Ohio State.
02:17On unnecessary roughness, Blutman said the words,
02:20this Ohio State team is unbeatable.
02:22Yes, he did.
02:22Can we pump the breaks on that a little bit?
02:23It was a long...
02:24Hey, hey, hey.
02:25And then...
02:26It was in Washington.
02:27What did I say?
02:27And we think it's pretty good, but we don't know.
02:29And I...
02:30And to Blutman's credit, I said...
02:32I agree with that.
02:32I said, well, Michigan beats them every year, no matter how good they are.
02:36And Blutman walked it back.
02:37And I said, Casey is correct.
02:39And I used...
02:39And I said, hey, look, I was incorrect.
02:42I can admit when I'm wrong.
02:43I'm not a coward.
02:44I'm not...
02:44Like, I can admit when I'm wrong.
02:46I shouldn't have said unbeatable.
02:47That was foolish of me.
02:48Silly.
02:49Probably incorrect.
02:50Because...
02:51Whatever.
02:52Ohio State, I do think, is better than last year, though.
02:54Unbeatable was very bad language to use.
02:57I'm sorry.
02:57I shouldn't have said that.
02:58It's okay.
02:59I retracted.
03:00They're still very, very, very, very good football.
03:02And Big Cat talks about the offense.
03:03If Ryan Day stops milking the clock, which he's doing intentionally, shorting games.
03:08Right.
03:09Without, like...
03:09Yeah, they could be scoring 40-plus, and Sane could be showing why.
03:13He probably is the best quarterback in the country.
03:14But...
03:15I walked...
03:15I walked away from that game being like they were intentionally trying to baby Sane into
03:21his first road start.
03:23And they'll be just fine offensively.
03:24Sure.
03:25He did against Texas, too.
03:26He's definitely keeping them...
03:27Honestly, he just knows how good his defense is, too.
03:29He's like, no need to make, like, crazy decisions.
03:31You know you have the game in hand, like, you know you can play defense, run the ball,
03:35let him throw it a little bit.
03:36But you see it, like, he's so accurate.
03:38He makes the right decisions, gets it out quick.
03:41Like, it's all there.
03:41It's way too much Ohio State.
03:42Yeah, no.
03:43Yeah, no.
03:44And Dave has said that on Wake Up Barcel all week, that he's very impressed with him.
03:47But week five was unbelievable from start to finish.
03:49A lot of big finishes.
03:50Week six on paper has some really good matchups.
03:53We'll jump right into it for the High Noon College Football Weekend Preview.
03:55Dave, tell us about High Noon.
03:58High Noon, we all know Saturdays in the fall mean one thing.
04:00College Football is back.
04:02Nothing goes better with College Football Game Day than High Noon.
04:04High Noon is under 100 calories, made with real spirits, natural flavors,
04:08available in vodka, seltzer, tequila, seltzer, non-carbonated vodka iced tea.
04:12Again, that's the non-carbonated iced teas.
04:14People get confused on that, which means you can tailgate like a champion.
04:18I love the iced tea, green tea.
04:20That's probably my favorite right now.
04:22This fall, make High Noon your MVP.
04:23Visit HighNoonSpirits.com to find a pack near you.
04:26High Noon, sun's up.
04:27The peach tea is elite.
04:30Okay, let's talk about number nine, Texas at Florida.
04:32Texas, minus six and a half.
04:33The over, under, 41 and a half.
04:36Dave, Texas has gotten a lot of shit throughout this season so far.
04:40Arch Manning does not look like who we thought they would.
04:42They have a very pedestrian offense.
04:44Florida, despite only winning one game, has a very good defense.
04:47But this is the first time that Texas is going to see an offense even remotely close to Ohio State.
04:52We saw what happened at the beginning of the season.
04:53What is your take on this game?
04:55So I have been taking Florida every week being like, oh, the spread's so stupid.
05:02They stink.
05:03How is the spread so low?
05:04And then they don't cover the spread.
05:06I will say they also are like in those games, you feel like a break or two away from covering or winning.
05:16So I'm going to do the same thing because I'm not going to jump off and switch it.
05:20I'm going to say this is the game maybe they get the break.
05:22The ball bounces their way or a play or two, and they could win this game.
05:26So I'm taking Florida.
05:28Dan?
05:29Yeah, I'm opposite here.
05:31I was going into this week being like, I'm going to bet Florida.
05:35And I looked at it some more.
05:37Florida's D-line's got some injuries.
05:39Texas is off a bye.
05:41Arch Manning has looked bad.
05:43But guess what?
05:44He doesn't have to look great against this Florida offense who cannot score against elite defenses.
05:49And they have shown that time and time again.
05:52I'm taking Texas in a spot where I'm basically kind of fading my own brain where I was like gearing up to go against Arch Manning in his first, you know, big SEC game after we saw him struggle through September.
06:05I'm going opposite of that.
06:07I am taking Texas minus six and a half.
06:09He just has to be good.
06:10He doesn't have to be great.
06:11Brandon, and a lot of the conversation around him has not necessarily been jitters or not understanding the offense.
06:16It's his fundamentals that haven't looked great.
06:18Yeah, they haven't looked great.
06:19But I do think he's kind of been in the lab over the last three or four weeks.
06:21They've just played nobody.
06:23And whatever was wrong with him, I just have to trust they were getting an effect.
06:26But this is more about Florida.
06:28Dave's right that this spot seems to favor Florida.
06:32You know, Florida's been quiet.
06:33They haven't been that far.
06:34The Miami game was 26-7, but it wasn't really 26-7, right?
06:37Like, it was closer than that.
06:39They were right there.
06:40If they get a little break against LSU, some things happen.
06:43My problem with that logic is you've got to have a coach that gets your team ready,
06:47and you've got to have some buy-in from the players in order to get the breaks.
06:50And they don't have either.
06:51This fan base is ready to quit.
06:52These players are ready to quit.
06:53This coach is on his way out.
06:55Therefore, Texas is the bit.
06:56Ev, what do you think?
06:57The only thing is, like, I agree with a lot of things Brandon's saying,
06:59but they did say these things last year, and then they did rally.
07:02I'm taking the under.
07:03I'm taking Florida because, really, I'm just betting on their defense.
07:05Their offense is bad.
07:06I bet I think the defense in the swamp can hang tough.
07:09I think their defense is very good.
07:10It's just the offense that's bad.
07:11So, yeah, I'll take the points and the under.
07:12I'm going to take Florida as well.
07:13And they have played hard.
07:15Like, those games we just talked about, they have played hard.
07:17It's just like they get a back-breaking play or a couple, and then they fall apart.
07:21But they have seemingly been playing for the coach from what I've seen.
07:25They definitely, like, their record being one and three, obviously, is not good.
07:30But they have played much better than that, I think.
07:32And I just, this Texas offense, until they prove me wrong.
07:34I mean, when we saw how they played against Ohio State, I realized that was week one.
07:38He just couldn't do anything.
07:39I'm going to take Florida as well, and it's in the swamp.
07:41Texas might have the second-best defense in the country.
07:43Yeah.
07:43They do.
07:44That's what I'm betting on.
07:45We just did pick them.
07:47And it's like, Arch does not have to be great in this game.
07:51I think Florida is going to be around 10 to 14 points.
07:54Unders is a good play.
07:56Yeah.
07:56Let's move to one of the hottest teams in the country, Texas Tech at Houston.
08:00Number 11, Texas Tech, is 10-and-a-half point favorites right now.
08:03The over-under at 50-and-a-half.
08:05Both of these teams, Dan, 4-and-0, 1-and-0 in conference play.
08:09We saw, you know, the way Texas Tech played a few weeks ago when we were in Utah.
08:13They're averaging 52 points a game.
08:15Barron Morton looks amazing.
08:17What do you think about this matchup?
08:18Yeah, I'm going to take Houston here.
08:19I do think Houston looked bad on Friday night.
08:21That was a classic look-ahead spot.
08:23They went to Oregon State.
08:24They barely eked out a win as a double-digit favorite.
08:28But I believe in Willie Fritz, and I think their defense can keep them in this game.
08:32I think it's going to be kind of a lower-scoring game.
08:35If you give me 10-and-a-half points at home with a lower-scoring game, I'm going to take Houston.
08:39Brandon?
08:39We might be on the same wavelength.
08:41Okay.
08:41Because I like Houston, and really I like them because of Texas Tech.
08:45Texas Tech is a program.
08:46This isn't Ohio State.
08:47This isn't Georgia.
08:48This isn't Alabama.
08:49Alabama, which is used to just going into these road games and demolishing people.
08:53I feel like there's a come down to earth coming soon for them.
08:55They are the more talented team.
08:57But give me a good coach at home, a good quarterback at home in Houston.
09:00Give me 10-and-a-half points.
09:01I'm taking it.
09:01Dave?
09:02I've gone back and forth on this game.
09:05I bet Houston just because it's on TV.
09:08So, I watched that game, and they were awful.
09:11And Oregon State's really, really bad.
09:14So, I was leaning towards Texas Tech.
09:18But then in my head, it's like, you know, you're going to see it, and within two series,
09:22you're going to know this is a close game.
09:23So, I am going Houston.
09:25I'm worried about it.
09:26But what Brandon has said, I get, is like they're not the traditional teams who aren't
09:31even the traditional teams anymore.
09:32But Texas Tech's defense is not Texas Tech.
09:35Like, Texas Tech, for the first time in a long time, has a defense that travels.
09:40I'm saying all this.
09:41I hate the game, but I'll take the points.
09:43But it would not shock me if we wake up and this new NIL Texas Tech team has hammered these
09:49guys by 30.
09:50Yeah, that's my biggest thing is that we talked about it all offseason.
09:53As Texas Tech went out and did exactly what they needed to do, spent millions and millions
09:57of dollars in the transfer portal.
09:59They do have a defense.
10:00Barron Morton has over 1,000 yards, 11 touchdowns on the season.
10:02And they've already proven this season that they can go in a hostile road environment and
10:06win.
10:06And not only win by a little bit, win by a lot.
10:09We were there.
10:09Flip me.
10:10I'm taking Texas Tech.
10:11Yeah, I mean, Texas Tech, to me, is like going into Houston.
10:15And the state of Texas, like, they're not going to be scared to play at Houston after they
10:18played at Utah the way they did.
10:19I love this Texas Tech team.
10:21Ev, where are you leaning?
10:22Yeah, I'm going to take Houston with the points.
10:24I think, like, Texas Tech has been great and super impressive win at Utah.
10:28But at the same time, it was a 13-10 game.
10:30They blew them out in the fourth quarter.
10:32It's credit to them.
10:33But Willie Fritz, really good coach.
10:35I think I'll have them ready.
10:36Last week, we sent a sleeper Friday night game.
10:38Oregon State was bad.
10:39I'll take the 10-and-a-half points with Houston at home.
10:42Okay, Brandon.
10:43It's time for us to talk about our game.
10:44Mississippi State at number six.
10:46Texas A&M.
10:47A&M favored by 14-and-a-half.
10:48The over-under at 55-and-a-half.
10:50This has historically been our witching week.
10:54We usually have a big fight.
10:55But we'll talk about that later.
10:56I'll say it right here.
10:56This game has a history of you going behind my back and setting up bets.
10:59One time.
11:00One time.
11:00No, no, no.
11:01Save it.
11:01It has a history of you going behind my back and setting up bets that make me look bad
11:05and make me have to drive 1,700 miles with my 13-year-old daughter who had to be at school the next day.
11:09You were excited to do that.
11:10But anyways, about this game.
11:11In 2025, there are no bets.
11:13I promise you there would be no bets.
11:14You promised me that one time before, too.
11:16Shut the fuck up for a second.
11:18Can we not?
11:19I like it.
11:19I like it.
11:20Can we not?
11:20Can we not?
11:21You didn't even want to bring your...
11:21Also, this feeds into your delusion of Texas A&M being this way superior program.
11:26Since they joined the SEC, Texas A&M has a 7-6 lead in the series.
11:29We're the same program.
11:30We're the same colors.
11:32And 14-and-a-half to give the same programs is crazy.
11:35I don't care where the game is.
11:36We can score.
11:37Your defense stinks.
11:38You're going to win the game.
11:39Congratulations.
11:39But 14-and-a-half is crazy.
11:40So, I think that when we have this argument, we have different definitions of what a program
11:46looks like.
11:46Because, yes, you're right.
11:47You want it to be all the hypotheticals.
11:48Like, you got all the money and everything.
11:50But it's what you are on the field.
11:51And you guys aren't shit on the field.
11:52Played on the grass.
11:53Yeah.
11:54From...
11:54Well, we're better overall than you.
11:56But that's beside the point.
11:577-6 since you joined the conference.
11:58Well, no, no.
11:59I'm saying that against each other, that's fine.
12:00But nobody ever going into the season is like, well, Mississippi State's one of the top
12:0425 programs.
12:04Yeah.
12:04And they always do with A&M.
12:05And you always choke every single year.
12:07At least we make bowl games every single year.
12:08Who did you lose to last year?
12:11How many games did you win last year?
12:12We went 2-10 last year.
12:13You went 2-10 last year.
12:14But we're back.
12:15Listen, listen.
12:15We're back.
12:16Coach died.
12:17The coach died.
12:17Mm-hmm.
12:18Yeah.
12:18How long were you going to do that?
12:18Yeah, no, you were the one.
12:19You were just jumping up and down.
12:202-10, 2-10.
12:21Well, you were 2-10.
12:23When's the last time A&M went 2-10?
12:24What kind of program goes 2-10?
12:27I don't think it's been that long ago, hasn't it, that they were bad?
12:292-10.
12:29That can happen.
12:30That's constant.
12:31Any program goes.
12:33That's fine.
12:33Any program could not even leap for a single second loss.
12:36When I say A&M's a better program, I just mean everything going.
12:39Until we win something, you're absolutely right.
12:41Our trophy case is just as empty.
12:43But beside the point, we're talking about this game this year.
12:46A&M scored 40-plus points in the first three games.
12:48Last week against Auburn, yeah, the score did not look like the box score did.
12:51I don't know what happened.
12:52We couldn't make a field goal.
12:53Le'Veon Moss, I respect what Mississippi State is doing.
12:56I wanted you guys to win last week.
12:58I'm obviously going to take A&M here.
13:007-6 is shocking.
13:01I'm not arguing that point.
13:10I'm arguing the fact that from a football program standpoint, those things like money
13:14and like facilities, no, those aren't hypothetical.
13:17You have everything in place to be a great program.
13:18I agree with you.
13:19Right.
13:19And we haven't put it together.
13:21But to say we're the same program.
13:22If you put out the crazy, you'd have something.
13:26Keep the money, take out the crazy.
13:29But the crazy gives the money, Dave.
13:30That's the whole point.
13:31And it's what limits you, too.
13:33I actually listened to Urban.
13:34I don't think it's the crazy.
13:35I think it's the oil.
13:37Well, which also goes into, but the oil is given from the crazies, or the crazies give
13:41the money from the oil.
13:43I actually listened to Urban Meyer on Will Kane's podcast this week, and he said, Will Kane
13:47just straight up asked him, what is wrong with A&M?
13:49He was like, I have no idea.
13:50They have everything you could possibly have except for wins.
13:52I don't have that answer either.
13:53I don't know.
13:54They got too much of the crazy.
13:56People, you need crazy in college football.
13:58Regardless, I'm taking A&M.
14:01That's a different crazy, though.
14:01You need passion.
14:02You don't need nut grabbing.
14:03They don't nut grabbing.
14:04I'm not doing this.
14:05The Aggie fans are very mad at you guys for making up this story.
14:08Yeah, I mean, again, I'll point it out.
14:10It's very funny that, like, Aggie fans, I get it.
14:12You're passionate.
14:13I love it.
14:13Like, let's fight about it.
14:15But, like, to be like, hey, yes, we're a cult, but we don't grab each other's dicks.
14:18They don't grab each other's dicks.
14:20You lost the argument if you say that.
14:21But you guys hang your hats on that point, and that just is a made-up point.
14:25Isn't there a picture of a grabber?
14:26There's multiple pictures.
14:27No, there's one from the 40s.
14:28There's one picture of one guy in the court grabbing his own dick.
14:33It is more than one guy.
14:34I see all of you guys grab your own dicks on a daily fucking basis.
14:37We grab one dick, you're a dick grabber.
14:39All of you guys grab your own dicks on a daily basis.
14:42We don't do it in unison, though.
14:43This is, no, it wasn't in unison.
14:45You grab one dick, you're a dick grabber.
14:45It's not a group activity.
14:46You grab your own dick.
14:47Are you a dick grabber?
14:48But I thought it was a guy grabbing another guy.
14:51There was a line of guys all grabbing their own dicks, and you know that.
14:54No, it is a story that Brandon Walker made up.
14:56You cannot find a picture that exists because it does not exist.
14:59He just ended up grabbing other people's dicks.
15:00That doesn't exist.
15:02You guys would go to college.
15:02You just said it was one guy.
15:03That doesn't exist either.
15:05It's more than one guy.
15:05The Yale leaders exist?
15:06Are they real, or is that a figment of my imagination?
15:09No, the Yale leaders do exist.
15:10The Yale leaders do exist.
15:12And are they revered on campus as the coolest cats on town?
15:15Is that like one guy to you?
15:18They're all grabbing each other's dicks.
15:19They're grabbing their own.
15:20Is that like one guy to you?
15:21They're grabbing their own.
15:22Oh, man, I just...
15:22Brandon made up that they were grabbing each other's.
15:25This is just crazy.
15:26But yes, the Yale leaders are real.
15:27I am not saying...
15:28I might have been Berenstien-Baird.
15:29I might be able to...
15:30I thought they grabbed each other's dicks.
15:32No, they don't.
15:33I don't feel like they do.
15:33They don't.
15:34Okay.
15:34It doesn't exist.
15:35Okay.
15:36Still doesn't explain the Yale leaders.
15:38Still...
15:38Okay, I'll explain the Yale leaders.
15:40The A&M used to be an all-male school.
15:42So back before women were allowed on campus, they had the Yale leaders.
15:45They lead the entire stadium in unison.
15:48If you guys went to a game in College Station, you would appreciate it.
15:51And I know that you think it's weird.
15:52It doesn't matter.
15:53Aggies don't think it's weird.
15:54It doesn't matter.
15:54A&M's kicking the fucking shit out of Mississippi State this weekend.
15:57That's why...
15:58Also, Dan, I did see your tweet.
16:00Yeah.
16:00Ms. Rev did pass away.
16:01Yeah, Ms. Rev did pass away.
16:03But was she active?
16:04No, she was retired in 2021.
16:05So that changes a little.
16:06Oh.
16:07I thought it was the one now.
16:09No, the one now has one eye.
16:11I thought it was the one now, too.
16:12The one now lost an eye.
16:14We're always losing the old mascots.
16:16No, yeah, she was...
16:17Yeah, that changed it.
16:18That for me, too.
16:20She was 12 years old.
16:20If it's not active, it's sad.
16:21But it's not a bet changer.
16:23No, she...
16:24She's probably led a long, beautiful life.
16:2512 years.
16:2612 years.
16:26Yeah, I mean, they all do.
16:27Ms. Rev does.
16:28She retired in 2021.
16:30But still...
16:30Always are underrated dogs.
16:31They're great dogs.
16:32I'm shocked to hear you say that.
16:34You usually hate dogs.
16:35Classy.
16:36Dan, who are you taking this game?
16:37I don't know.
16:39Who are you taking?
16:39I'll take Mississippi State, plus 14 and a half.
16:41Shocker.
16:42Dave?
16:43But what happens when they cover?
16:45I took Auburn last week.
16:47They covered.
16:47You can't be upset if I win a bet.
16:49I'm not upset.
16:49No, I have this theory that I've decided.
16:51I think that you only hate A&M because of me.
16:53No, I don't hate A&M at all.
16:55I don't think about A&M that much.
16:57No, I don't.
16:58It gets brought up, and I'm like, yeah, it's weird.
17:00The amount of time I think about A&M is so minuscule to my day-to-day life.
17:05That's fair.
17:05It just comes up on this show, and yeah, some of the stuff they do is weird.
17:09More than this show.
17:10And again, if Mississippi State covers, if I lose the bet, then yeah, I was wrong.
17:16But it's not a personal offense for me to take Mississippi State.
17:19That's fine.
17:19I can take that.
17:20I took Auburn last week.
17:21They covered.
17:22They did.
17:22What do you got?
17:22By the hook.
17:23I was just A&M guys grabbing all their dicks.
17:25Their own, right?
17:26It's like eight of them.
17:27Yeah, they're owned.
17:27That's their.
17:28It's like eight of them.
17:29I see, again, I see all of you men in this office grab your own dicks all the time.
17:33No, you don't.
17:33Yes, you do.
17:34I like that.
17:34We don't line up to that.
17:35Not in song and dance.
17:37Dave, who are you taking?
17:41I think I'm taking Mississippi State.
17:43I think the SEC is filled with a lot of decent to average to good teams, and Mississippi State
17:49certainly can play with anybody.
17:51So, I'm going to take Mississippi State here, plus the points.
17:55Man, I got nothing against A&M.
17:56I'd love to go.
17:56We probably won't with big new kickoff, but that's a place I would love to see.
17:59Like, you don't hear me being like I'm dying to go to Starkville.
18:01I think it'd be cool to go to a game in A&M.
18:04I appreciate that.
18:04You would love Starkville.
18:05You'd thrive there.
18:07Yeah, all the 50,000 bells.
18:09Ev, who are you taking in this game?
18:10The line's so big, it almost scares me.
18:12I thought it'd be more like 10.
18:13Mississippi State's 5-0 against the spread.
18:16They are.
18:16Best team betting on the country right now.
18:17I'm taking the points.
18:18I think they're a legit team.
18:19I'd love to see this.
18:20I'd love to see this.
18:21Okay, let's go to another big game.
18:22That could be like, that's just a Mississippi State reaction, you know,
18:25when people are too late because they've been so bad for so long.
18:29But I agree.
18:30Coach died.
18:31How long are we going to do that?
18:34He's going to be dead forever.
18:35Well, I do know that.
18:36But how long are we going to blame the program on that?
18:38You don't know that.
18:39There's science.
18:40Depends on how this game goes this week, I guess.
18:42That's true.
18:43It's a good point.
18:44Okay, number 16, Vandy at number 10, Alabama.
18:46Alabama minus 10.5, the over-under 55.5.
18:50Ev, I'll start with you.
18:50You've been ringing the Vandy bell long before last season.
18:54Obviously, this is a revenge game for Alabama after what happened.
18:57But last summer, you were very high on Diego Pavia and what this Vanderbilt team is doing.
19:01How do you feel about this game?
19:02I think he's just a gamer.
19:04I think he's a guy.
19:05I've said on the show a couple times, I think, Diego Pavia, you give me a plus sign next to him,
19:08I'm going to take it every time.
19:09I don't buy into as much the revenge factor with Alabama because this is still a massive game for Vanderbilt.
19:16They're undefeated.
19:16They win this game.
19:17They're thinking playoff.
19:18They're thinking everything.
19:19So, I mean, Vanderbilt plus 10.5.
19:21Please, Diego Pavia plus points every time taking it.
19:24Dan?
19:25I want to hear you first.
19:26I think this fits the old Vanderbilt profile of them going 5-0 against nobody in the first month of the season
19:32or 4-1-something in the first month of the season.
19:34They say, bring on Alabama, and then it's 59-0 in the third quarter.
19:37It won't be 59-0, but I think Alabama does thump them here.
19:40I'm sick of hearing about Vanderbilt and their 5-0 start after beating Virginia Tech,
19:44who fired their coach on a terrible South Carolina team.
19:46It's at home.
19:47Kalen DeBoer lost this game last year coming off the Georgia win.
19:50Coming off the Georgia win again, I bet he's got his kids' attention this time.
19:54I think they thump them.
19:55Dan?
19:56I'm going to take Vandy.
19:57I don't love it.
19:59Then why don't you listen to mine?
20:00I wanted to hear what you had to say.
20:02Diego Pavia is just a dog, and on the road.
20:05The defense stinks.
20:06I get it.
20:07I get it, and I like Ty Simpson a lot, but I just – Diego Pavia, give me 10.5 points.
20:12I don't know.
20:12I want to go to war with him.
20:13Dave?
20:15Same.
20:16And it's just – I beat the same drum.
20:19If this is six years ago, Saban era or whatever, it's like, oh, yeah,
20:23they're going to get their pound of flesh here and win this game by 100.
20:27I had picked Alabama last weekend as Georgia more because it was an indictment against Georgia.
20:32I'm not convinced any of these teams are that different in this conference, and Vanderbilt
20:36has improved a lot.
20:38Bama's come back to the pack.
20:40I like the quarterback.
20:41I'm going to take Vandy.
20:42I think in over is a good play here, too, but I'm taking Vandy.
20:44Brandon, last week when we were on Big Noon Kickoff, Mark Ingram said something, which
20:48at the time, like, we all kind of scoffed at.
20:50I mean, Dave didn't because he took them, but when he said this team is playing – like,
20:54they're playing with fire.
20:55They're playing with the danger that they didn't earlier in the season.
20:57They obviously lost to Florida State, but they do look like a different team under
21:00Kalen DeBoer this many weeks into the season.
21:03I'm almost – I kind of like what Dave said there.
21:05Okay.
21:06I feel like last week's game was a huge indictment on Georgia and them just absolutely shitting
21:11down their leg when Alabama's on the other side.
21:12They've got a problem.
21:13Alabama's better.
21:14Alabama certainly played better than they played in Tallahassee.
21:17Right.
21:17But Georgia made every mistake you could possibly make to let Alabama win that game.
21:21So do you want to switch your pick?
21:22No, no, no.
21:23I like – here, I think Vanderbilt's ahead of their scheme.
21:26Yeah.
21:26Okay.
21:26I'm going to take Alabama as well for those reasons.
21:28Just – I did not think that they were going to be able to beat Georgia last week.
21:31I did not believe in this Kalen DeBoer era at all.
21:33And I like Diego Pavia, but I think Alabama's going to handle business in Tuscaloosa.
21:38All right.
21:38The big one this week, number three, Miami at number 18, Florida State.
21:42Miami minus four and a half, the over under 53 and a half.
21:44Guys, this is one of those games that like from a nostalgia standpoint, like this is one
21:48of those rivalries.
21:49Like back in the day, it was always heated.
21:51I would say this one's probably the – with the most juice in how many years, Brandon?
21:56You're the sources.
21:57You're the encyclopedia.
21:59Probably since – I can't remember.
22:01I know Jameis had some big games, but I think Miami would fade down the stretch.
22:05Right.
22:05So as far as like actual probably 2001.
22:07Yeah, it's been a long time.
22:08Chris Winkie, Ken Dorsey, and all those guys.
22:10It's been a really long time that this game has this much juice.
22:12Dave, I'll start with you.
22:14What do you think about this game that's happening in Tallahassee on Saturday night?
22:17The Florida State game really threw my head for a loop.
22:21I thought Florida State was really good.
22:23Couldn't stop anybody against Virginia.
22:25I'm going to stick with them another week here.
22:27Miami, I don't know.
22:28Hand up, like when I'm putting my tier one, I don't know what to make of Miami yet.
22:33I'm going to take Florida State in this game.
22:36Would it shock me if Miami killed them?
22:39No.
22:39Would I be prepared to say move Florida State up with Ohio State and Oregon and Penn State?
22:45If they smushed them?
22:46I think I would.
22:47I'm going to take Florida State.
22:48Dan, we know Thomas Castellanos.
22:51I mean, they lost the game the way they did last week.
22:53But going into the season, he looks a lot better than most people thought.
22:56Other than Dave, he was high on him.
22:58But then Carson Beck, too, with a new life in Miami.
23:01What do you think about this quarterback match?
23:02I'm going to take the over in this game.
23:05I don't love it.
23:06I don't love this game.
23:07I'm excited to watch this game.
23:08But I don't really know because it's like I think Miami could just be really, really, really good.
23:14But you have a desperate team in Florida State.
23:17So I'm going to go with the over.
23:18I do think Gus Malzahn will be able to work something up with the run game.
23:24And Carson Beck's good.
23:26So I'm going to take the over.
23:27Brandon?
23:29Everything they're saying is correct.
23:31Everything.
23:31And it's a very scary spot.
23:33I just think of what Miami's offensive and defensive lines have looked like so far this year
23:39and what their receivers have looked like.
23:41And where Florida State had problems with Virginia, they couldn't out-physical them
23:45and they couldn't handle those receivers and quarterback.
23:47Therefore, I'm going Miami.
23:49But I don't like it even a little bit.
23:51Not at all.
23:52But I'm going Miami.
23:53All right.
23:54Ev?
23:54I kind of have the same feeling as Brandon, but the opposite.
23:57I'm such a believer in Miami's offensive and defensive line that'll travel, that can play anywhere.
24:03They're so dominant.
24:04But I think you'll get a more Florida State effort that was similar to the Alabama game.
24:08Hair on fire.
24:10I think they'll be able to scheme some of them.
24:11I'll take the points.
24:12But if Miami beats the shit out of them, they're absolutely in the upper echelon,
24:16the elite tier of college football.
24:17I'm taking Miami.
24:18I think they're already there.
24:19I loved going into this season, what they looked like in the transfer portal.
24:23They went out and fixed their defense.
24:24And then Carson Beck has looked phenomenal.
24:26I'm going to take Miami.
24:28I'm very excited to watch this game.
24:29This is another one, though, I'm the same way.
24:30I'm not 100% confident.
24:32Very excited, but I'm so high on Miami, I will ride with them.
24:35Let's go to the DraftKings Dark Horse Host Parlay.
24:38The rivalries, the marching bands, the upsets.
24:40Saturdays just got way more fun, and college football is back.

24:59The crown is yours.
25:01Okay, Dave, who are you submitting this week?
25:04We already talked about it.
25:06Listen, I think Florida has just as good a chance to cover as they do win.
25:10Like, if they're not in the game, maybe they get smoked.
25:14I think they're due for one.
25:16I'm not sold on Texas.
25:18I'm at Florida.
25:19Okay, Big Ev.
25:21Tiny D.
25:22Yeah, mine we already talked about, too.
25:24System play.
25:25Diego Pavia, getting points, easy.
25:28Vandy, plus 10.5.
25:29Brandon?
25:30I like Maryland, plus 6.5 at home.
25:33Everybody talks about the potential of DeMond Williams.
25:36Mm-hmm.
25:36Maryland has one, too.
25:37Malik Washington, the young quarterback, is very good,
25:41and I think Washington probably got beat up a little bit
25:43with that physicalness of Ohio State last week.
25:45They're going across the country, all the way across the country,
25:47to play Maryland.
25:48Maryland, I like Maryland.
25:49Liam, do you like the Maryland?
25:50That was my DraftKings in the pick-em pick was Maryland,
25:54so I like that one.
25:55Nice, yeah.
25:55Maryland, and we don't talk about them enough.
25:57I feel like they're not getting enough love.
25:59I'm going to take Wake Forest, plus 7, against Virginia Tech.
26:01Wake got robbed last week.
26:02I just don't believe in this Virginia Tech team at all.
26:05They dig all the road to beat NC State.
26:08Do what?
26:09What are the barbershops saying?
26:11Wake, it's a Rico joke.
26:13He was saying the barbershop, and where is Wake?
26:15Winston-Salem.
26:16Winston-Salem.
26:16Is Rico on Wake?
26:18They've got to get the boosters.
26:19No, he didn't.
26:20This is a week one pick he had.
26:21Oh, okay.
26:22Yeah.
26:23The odds for this are plus 1178 on the DraftKings Sportsbook,
26:27so go put that in.
26:29Hopefully we win.
26:29Has one hit this year yet?
26:32I don't know.
26:32We unnecessarily referenced it, but I don't think this one has yet.
26:34Okay, no, not for the college football show.
26:36So we're due, boys.
26:37We're due.
26:37Let's go to the receipts of the week, presented by Venmo.

27:00Okay, Dave, I will start with you.
27:01What's your Venmo receipt?
27:04I'm paraphrasing because I don't have the exact tweet in front of me or quote.
27:08And listen, I like Kirk Herbstreet.
27:11Opposite program.
27:12I'm a Herbie guy.
27:13I love dogs.
27:14I love all dogs.
27:15I'm an all-dog guy.
27:17He was quoted, though, as saying his dog is the Taylor Swift of college football.
27:21I saw that.
27:22Oh.
27:23That's crazy.
27:24Listen, I love his dog.
27:27I can't even, if I brought peaches on the road,
27:29we need the National Guard, Secret Service, and everybody in between with crowd control.
27:35And he has a male dog, Peaches.
27:38So I just got to defend Miss Peaches' honor here.
27:42She is so big, she cannot travel to campuses.
27:44So with all due respect, if we're going to compare one dog in the college football world
27:50and you're on a panel to Taylor Swift, it is clearly Miss Peaches.
27:54I haven't heard anything Alex Cooper once said, like, her dog was more popular than Peaches.
28:00There's almost a riot online.
28:02Like, so, I love you, Herbie.
28:04Hopefully see your son on the sidelines this week in Michigan.
28:07But, come on.
28:09There's only...
28:09Sounds like you've got to prove it.
28:10Sounds like you've got to bring Peaches on the road.
28:13She won't be able to go, Dan.
28:14Like, he's like, everyone stops and asks for...
28:17She would cross...
28:18There'd be cities that would be shut down.
28:20She's that part.
28:22What was the context of him saying this about his dog with Taylor Swift?
28:26Like, that...
28:27I don't know.
28:27Well, no, I know, but, like, to say she's the Taylor Swift is crazy.
28:31People forget.
28:32But one to one is dogs dying and this one came in real quick.
28:34No, I know.
28:35And I love dogs.
28:36I have no problem with that.
28:37I love the dog and it helps him.
28:39This ain't even a starting dog.
28:40This is a pack-up dog.
28:41Yeah, but he needs a dog on the road.
28:43This isn't an indictment on the dog, but Peaches' ears, like, perked up a little.
28:48He's like, wait, aren't I?
28:49Like, I thought you said I was the Taylor Swift of college football.
28:51So, I just had to call attention to it.
28:53And I love Herbie and I love the dog.
28:55Wonderful dog.
28:56I'd love for the dogs to meet, but please.
28:59Dan, your Venmo receipt?
29:01Mine is for our own Connor Griffin.
29:04This guy keeps saying that he's getting his lucky McDonald's meal
29:09and then Penn State keeps losing just in tragic ways in the biggest fucking games.
29:14Dude, it's not a lucky McDonald's meal anymore.
29:17At what point are you done with the lucky McDonald's meal?
29:21Like, this is not how superstitions work.
29:23If it was a lucky McDonald's meal, Penn State would have won 55 games in a row.
29:29It's over.
29:29You got to stop.
29:30I love Connor Griffin.
29:32You got to try something else for the Ohio State game.
29:35Find a new lucky something.
29:37But if I see him going to get his lucky McDonald's meal
29:40before Penn State plays Ohio State in a month,
29:44I'm going to fucking lose it.
29:45It's not lucky anymore, dude.
29:47Can I add something?
29:48Like, I can't tell if his post-game videos are reruns.
29:52He says the same.
29:54This was supposed to be our year, the best team we've ever had.
29:57I honestly was like, I think I've seen this video like 13 times in a row.
30:02I can't tell if he's just recycling the same video.
30:05It's torturous for him.
30:08But he's got to try something.
30:10I implore you, Connor.
30:11I love you.
30:12I want to see you win a big game.
30:14Try something new.
30:15Anything new for the next big game.
30:18Because if I see you doing the McDonald's again,
30:19and then I see the post-game rerun like Dave just said,
30:22it's going to be like, what are we doing here?
30:24Maybe this is ignorant, but how long has he been doing the McDonald's meal?
30:28Years.
30:28And then what is he doing?
30:31Lucky in the first place.
30:33I don't know.
30:34I was going to say, did he have it when they beat us in 2016 or something?
30:38But they've lost a bunch.
30:40I don't know.
30:41And maybe he'll say, oh, I never called it lucky,
30:44and it's just his pre-game ritual.
30:46But change the pre-game ritual.
30:48If you have this many losses, tragic losses pile up,
30:51you owe it to yourself to try something else.
30:54Go to Sonic.
30:55There you go.
30:56Good job.
30:57Get the product placement in.
30:59Okay, Brandon.
30:59I really enjoyed that.
31:00Thank you for that.
31:01Yeah, no, it's crazy.
31:02I didn't know he'd been doing it for years.
31:04That's crazy.
31:04It's crazy.
31:05So my receipt is...
31:06100% he has to try Sonic.
31:08It's a sponsor.
31:08Something.
31:09That's a no-brainer.
31:10Ad placement.
31:11He's got to try something new.
31:13And I know McDonald's sponsors other stuff,
31:15and maybe they'll be lucky for another person,
31:16but you have to try something new, Connor.
31:19The Sonic Smasher Burger, perhaps.
31:21Yes.
31:22So my receipt is another pre-seat.
31:24It's looking forward a little bit.
31:26But this year, there will be more money paid out
31:30for coaches' buyouts in the history of college football.
31:32If you look at Auburn right now,
31:34there's some boosters behind the scenes
31:35getting 16.5 million ready for Hugh Freeze.
31:38There's 38 million for Mark Stoops of Kentucky
31:40getting gathered right now.
31:42And at LSU, it's the biggest buyout
31:43I can ever remember in my entire life.
31:45If they sign him to a 10-year contract
31:47worth $100 or $200, whatever it was,
31:50they now owe him $60 million
31:51as of, I believe, the beginning of this season.
31:55$60 million.
31:56And if he doesn't win nine games
31:58or if Brian Kelly misses the playoff
32:00and really embarrasses himself down the stretch,
32:02LSU's going to pay an unprecedented $60 million buyout
32:06and it will not be a problem.
32:07Yes, Dan?
32:08I have a question, Brady.
32:09We've had a great show.
32:10Yeah.
32:10We're friends.
32:11Sure.
32:11We're cool and all.
32:12Yeah.
32:12Now, what you're saying is correct,
32:15but part of me feels like you've just jumped
32:18from one, we've got to fire the outsider
32:21in the SEC to the other
32:23because Kalen DeBoer was your preseason.
32:26This guy doesn't fit.
32:28Time.
32:28Now you're jumping to Brian Kelly.
32:30Hold on.
32:31Time, time, time.
32:32No, Liam doesn't get to talk yet.
32:34Brandon Walker's talking.
32:35I have always been on Brian Kelly.
32:39Right.
32:40He's always one loss from me.
32:42Kalen DeBoer.
32:43He's not out of the woods yet either, by the way.
32:45All right, all right.
32:45He's not out of the woods.
32:46But it just seemed felt like me.
32:47All right, that's fine, but it felt like me.
32:48Neither one of them fit.
32:49If Kalen DeBoer won a big game,
32:50let me hop to the Brian Kelly button,
32:52and then if Brian Kelly wins a big game,
32:54we'll go back to Kalen DeBoer.
32:55Kalen DeBoer's big sin is he went 9-4 in his first year.
32:57All right, so let's sue it right here.
32:59He's an asshole.
32:59Let's sue it right here.
33:00He is an asshole.
33:01That is a fact.
33:01Brian Kelly, Kalen DeBoer, Brandon Walker,
33:04line in the sand, which coach gets fired first?
33:07Brian Kelly.
33:08Okay.
33:08All right, so that's fair.
33:09I just wanted a take.
33:10I wanted an official take to that one you get credit for.
33:13But Kalen DeBoer is not 100% to end this year as Alabama.
33:16That's fine.
33:17With the Georgia win, he's at like 85.
33:19Also, Brian Kelly, I mean, you've talked about this, Dan.
33:21When he gets mad, he just makes it so much worse, too,
33:24because he's a dickhead.
33:26He's the most unlikable person in the world.
33:28And I don't know if he's hurt or not,
33:30but with all the hype with Garrett Nussmeyer and this offense,
33:33it looks fucking awful.
33:35Like, just everything at LSU is not good.
33:36Yeah.
33:37There's a chance I killed that program, honestly.
33:41What do you mean Larry Ellison killed it?
33:43QB1.
33:45Larry Ellison.
33:45What were you going to say?
33:46So Brandon said Brian Kelly has the biggest bio
33:49he could ever remember in the history of the world.
33:51Is there a bigger one?
33:52Kalen DeBoer is 63.
33:54What did you say?
33:54Kalen DeBoer is 63.
33:55Kalen DeBoer is 63.
33:56Oh, I didn't know Kalen DeBoer's bio.
33:57Wow.
33:57Wait, the biggest bio in the history of the world, you said,
34:00or the history of LSU?
34:01It's a big bio, is what I was trying to say.
34:03Jimbo Fishers was like 78.
34:06That was his contract.
34:08His bio wasn't 78, was it?
34:09I'm pretty sure.
34:10Either way.
34:11I could be wrong.
34:12I could be wrong.
34:12I think they had to give him, like, over $90 million.
34:16Getting fired is awesome.
34:17I could be wrong.
34:18I could be wrong.
34:18But I'm pretty sure, I'm pretty sure, like...
34:20I don't think his bio was 78 million.
34:2176.
34:22Jimbo, Jimbo.
34:24Jimbo Fishers got $76 million, and you're...
34:26Okay.
34:26A record-setting buyout.
34:28Yes, and it was the check on the side.
34:30They did it, like, they were like, oh, here's our donation from all of our oil money.
34:34Here's a check for, it happened to be $76 million.
34:36Jimbo Fishers is the smartest person in the fucking world.
34:37Actually, if you go on Google and just type in Jimbo, the first thing, it says Jimbo Fishers buyout.
34:41It has to be him smiling.
34:43He's getting over $9 million a year through 2031.
34:47Good for him.
34:47Good for him.
34:48No wonder he's not coaching.
34:49Okay, so my receipt, we've already talked, we got a little heated, but this is something,
34:54this is just a little bit memory lane, you know?
34:56So Brandon and I have been doing Unnecessary Roughness for eight years now, seven years this show.
35:01We've had a lot of fun times, so I just pulled a few memories that we've had over the last couple of years.
35:06So go ahead and roll that, Jake.
35:09Just some memories of this game.
35:11Brandon in the Yell Leader suit, you look very handsome.
35:14So this was right before the game in 2019.
35:16Look how cute we were.
35:17I believe you make fun of this, but I do have you sawing him off.
35:22In Starkville, by the way, that game you had to drive back.
35:25So what I'm asking for, Brandon, this year is that maybe we don't almost break up as podcast co-hosts in 2020.
35:33As long as you don't go behind my back and do a bet that you told me that you were going to do, then I won't do it.
35:38I did that one time, one time.
35:40That's one more than I've ever done to you.
35:41But look at the cute memories.
35:42Don't you want to have a cute memory?
35:43I'm not looking at those stupid-ass pictures.
35:44Absolutely insane that a grown man lived that long with that haircut capable of having the hair he has right now is absolutely the most delusional thing.
35:57It's like what was going on in your head when you looked in the mirror to parade around as a grown man without a haircut when you have good hair?
36:08Hold on, hold on, Dan.
36:08That was a compliment.
36:09That's fine.
36:10He worked a compliment in there.
36:12But, Dave, I've seen pictures of you before the money, too.
36:14That's a good point, Dave.
36:16Don't sit there and throw it all at me, Mr. Tubby-dumpy ass.
36:21I didn't have mine.
36:22I was cutting my own hair.
36:24I mean, Brandon, it is.
36:25I didn't have money either.
36:26I was lucky to have hair.
36:27But it is.
36:28It's a compliment to say that at your age that you have such great flow and that you have a haircut.
36:31You threw a compliment in there, and I appreciate that.
36:33It is true.
36:34I will say that, so when I went to go find some photos, and we obviously have hundreds of photos together over the years,
36:38there is a, it's just like all of a sudden one day you woke up and decided that you wanted it to look good.
36:43It's jarring.
36:43It's bad.
36:44I don't want to be in here anymore.
36:46He's right.
36:46He's right.
36:47It was bad.
36:48But here I am.
36:49This game, historically, I mean, obviously, we don't have to bring up all this shit.
36:53It's 50-50.
36:54But, no, you did shove a co-worker after this game in the Yell Eater suit.
36:59That did happen.
36:59That did happen.
37:00So that, I didn't put that in there because I didn't want to upset you.
37:03I have shoved one person in six years.
37:05But it just so happened to be in a Yell Eater costume, so it's forever, so it is forever in history.
37:11But I'm just asking you, no matter what happens on Saturday, can we please not fight this year?
37:17Please.
37:17I cannot make that.
37:18Don't agree with that.
37:18I'm sorry, I cannot make that promise.
37:20That's a terrible agreement.
37:20You can see how the game plays out.
37:21Yeah, I can't make that promise.
37:23You can't make that promise.
37:24You guys get lucky if there's a bad call or something.
37:27Yeah, you can't make that agreement.
37:27No, we can fight, but can we not, like, actually fight?
37:30No, you can't make that agreement.
37:30I can't.
37:31I can't.
37:31I don't want to actually fight with him.
37:32Okay, all right.
37:33Because then he's not a man of his word.
37:35Yeah.
37:35Remember there, I mean, there was a video that, like, Dave wouldn't let you see the light of day.
37:40If y'all cheat, if y'all do something, if y'all get lucky, I get to.
37:43If you grab a player's dick.
37:44I get to be mad.
37:45There's just something.
37:45We're not streaming it together, but maybe if it's close so we could go live together and you won't call me any names or anything like that.
37:51I'm not promising that.
37:52Okay.
37:52That's smart of you, Brandon.
37:54So it's on record.
37:55You can't promise.
37:56So it's a pre-seed.
37:57It's a pre-seed that he can't promise.
37:58Okay, Ev, what's your Venmo receipt?
37:59Ev, what we're seeing is everyone who pronounced Alabama dead after week one.
38:04And listen, we did a lot, not to say roughness.
38:06People did it around the country.
38:07I think it's what makes college football great.
38:08They were deader than dead.
38:10Eulogies the whole nine.
38:12And then big win at Georgia.
38:13And just like that, they're back.
38:15National title contenders.
38:17Everything I think is what's made the sport great.
38:19It's what makes talking about college football so fun.
38:21The immediate reactions, the overreactions.
38:24But, yeah, I mean, everyone said Bama was dead.
38:25And just like that, they're back.
38:27All right, it's time for the proper picks presented by proper number 12 Irish whiskey.
38:31Dan, I will throw it to you.
38:33Yes, yes.
38:33All right.
38:34While you're doing that, let's look at the standings really quick.
38:36Dave and I are both four and one.
38:38Dan is three and two.
38:40Big Ev, two, two, and one.
38:42And Brandon is one and four.
38:44I don't think you should be keeping school.
38:45I'm making my Irish entrance into college football season with proper number 12 Irish whiskey.
38:49It starts the shot of proper because real friends don't let friends Irish exit without a story.
38:53Go classic with a proper ginger or mix it up with proper Irish apple.
38:58So get out there and make your Irish entrance.
39:01Anything else just wouldn't be proper.
39:03Make your Irish entrance with proper number 12.
39:07It's October 1st.
39:08It means the weather's going to start turning.
39:10Delicious.
39:11Proper number 12.
39:13I am going to go back to the well.
39:15Notre Dame, Boise, over 62 and a half.
39:18They can't play defense.
39:19Yep.
39:19Okay.
39:20And CJ Carr is awesome.
39:21He is very good.
39:22Dave, who are you taking?
39:23So I'm taking Michigan.
39:27I think we absolutely pound this team.
39:29And I'm not just saying this because obviously I'm Michigan guy.
39:32It's 17 and a half, by the way.
39:34I think Michigan is one of those teams that has a chance to elevate during the course of the season.
39:40I've seen enough of their offensive and defensive line.
39:42I think they can be a very real title contender if Underwood continues to develop.
39:47And I think they absolutely mash Wisconsin here.
39:51Brandon?
39:51Oh, no.
39:54So I'm one and four.
39:55You are one and four.
39:56That's correct.
39:56And I've had a good pick almost every week.
39:58Not last week.
39:59Something happened.
40:00That's not.
40:00Last week.
40:01You can't see.
40:01Last week I had Arkansas plus four and a half.
40:04They barely lost.
40:04What did they lose?
40:05By 60?
40:06Fired their coach.
40:06But go ahead.
40:07That's fine.
40:08I'm going off the grid a little bit.
40:10Okay.
40:11And I don't like what I'm doing.
40:13But you're desperate?
40:15I'm desperate.
40:15Desperate times.
40:16And I'm taking advantage of a team who's usually pretty good, who this year isn't nearly as good.
40:20Okay.
40:21And that's the troops at Army.
40:23Army's not very good.
40:25Army's not very good.
40:26No.
40:26Okay.
40:27UAB plus seven against Army.
40:29I don't think Army should be laying seven to anybody.
40:31They're not good.
40:31Okay.
40:32That wasn't a grown at the pick.
40:33I'm an Army guy.
40:35You're not wrong.
40:36You're not wrong.
40:36Army's bad.
40:37No, you're not wrong.
40:38God bless the troops.
40:38Thank you for your service.
40:39You're not wrong.
40:39People forget Army beat Kansas State.
40:42Kansas State's also bad.
40:43I played football and I feel like grump right now.
40:44You know my stance there, Brian Walker.
40:46Sure.
40:47What's the stance to all the people?
40:48Kansas State got Florida State, Dublin potato disease.
40:52Dublin potato disease.
40:54Okay.
40:54Interesting.
40:55That in the water.
40:57I didn't know that was a thing.
40:58Okay.
40:58I have your proper pick.
40:59I'm taking Cincinnati.
41:01This is the rat line of the week, I think.
41:03I've been high in Cincinnati.
41:04I love Brendan Soresby.
41:06Really good offense.
41:07Defense concerns me.
41:08Unranked favorite at home versus Iowa State who's been on a roll.
41:11I like Iowa State.
41:12I think Cincinnati wins the game here.
41:13Give me the Bearcats.
41:15Brendan Soresby gets it done.
41:17Brandon, you said this, and I believe it was on this show,
41:18but it's already been a long morning, that in the SEC,
41:22anybody can stick with anybody unless you're playing Kentucky.
41:24Georgia playing Kentucky, it's minus 20 and a half right now.
41:27It's between the hedges.
41:29Georgia, obviously, they have the Alabama ghost.
41:31They see ghosts on the sidelines.
41:32I think they are going to kick the ever-living shit out of Kentucky this week.
41:35They're going to take out all their frustrations.
41:37Kentucky is so bad.
41:38You talk about a coach that may or may not get fired.
41:40I don't know what they do.
41:41He almost left a couple years ago.
41:44I think Georgia, it's going to be over within five minutes.
41:47So taking Georgia, minus 20 and a half.
41:49Let's go to the Reese's Dynamic Duo of the Week.
41:52You're not imagining it.
41:53Reese's is out with their new Reese's Oreo Cups.
41:56It finally happened.
41:57Reese's Peanut Butter.
41:57Yeah, Brandon, why don't you grab some?
41:59Grab some for you and Dan.
42:00Reese's Peanut Butter and the Oreo Cookie Crumbs together in one cup.
42:03That's right, Oreo Cups.
42:05Two fan favorites coming together, making everyone say a million times better.
42:08It doesn't really matter what we say.
42:10It's Reese's and Oreo.
42:11You are already in.
42:13Available now wherever candy is sold.
42:15People are just now finding out about this.
42:16Like, I saw, like, our friend Glennie Balls was tweeting about it the other day.
42:20He was like, how did I not know about this?
42:21They are unbelievable.
42:24I know.
42:24They're so good.
42:25Dave, I will start with you.
42:27Listen, that's an endorsement.
42:29If I was Reese's, the big man,
42:32off-camera with a legitimate, oh, my God,
42:35that would run that as a Super Bowl ad.
42:38That was a Super Bowl ad.
42:39That was magic in a bite.
42:41That was authentic as it gets.
42:42He didn't even know the camera was on.
42:44Oh, my God.
42:45With, like, the guttural moan.
42:46Okay, Dave, your dynamic duo.
42:49So it's the combo of Julian Sane and Bryce Underwood,
42:53who I hate Sane.
42:55I love the way that Sane plays.
42:58But these two freshmen, well, I guess Sane's not.
43:02But these two quarterbacks, I think, are going to shape this conference for a little bit.
43:09So that's my dynamic duo.
43:10Impressed with both of them.
43:11I was obviously all Underwood, Underwood, Underwood.
43:14Sane makes me nervous.
43:15I hate saying that.
43:15But these two guys are going to be quite the rivalry going forward.
43:19Dan?
43:20I'm going back to similar to what I had with the Venmo receipt,
43:23but it's James Franklin and not winning the big one.
43:25This guy, I know that it would look a little different towards the end last week
43:29because Penn State came back.
43:31You could even make the argument.
43:33They kind of, like, broke through and did something different than they've ever done.
43:36But, man, this guy and the big one.
43:38And I do love, actually, Penn State minus 25 and a half against the UCLA.
43:41Agreed.
43:42It's the way they lost that game was just a microcosm of what's gone on with Penn State.
43:48Like, Drew Eller throwing the interception.
43:49Yeah, that part.
43:50But they did come back.
43:50They fought.
43:51But, yeah, he just can't win the big one.
43:54Can't do it.
43:54Can't win the big one.
43:55Can't do it.
43:56Brandon, I've been told that you and I both submitted the exact same dynamic duo
43:59so we can just both shit on.
44:01I don't know if you're going to shit on it or not.
44:02I'm not shitting on anybody.
44:03What I'm saying is the most under-talked-about story in college football
44:06is the fact that a coup has just been pulled off.
44:08Yeah.
44:08Bobby Petrino, Trojan Horse's way back into Arkansas.
44:12He's the offensive coordinator.
44:13Ten years ago, he gets fired in disgrace with the neck brace and the motorcycle and everything.
44:18And then Sam Pittman's stupid ass said,
44:20You know what, Bobby?
44:20Come on and help me get this offense going.
44:22Meanwhile, Bobby, the whole time, obviously, was angling for this job.
44:27He's now the interim coach.
44:28And what did he do the very next day after being an assistant coach?
44:31He fired three defensive assistants.
44:32He immediately fired some assistants.
44:34He didn't say, Guys, we're all in this together.
44:36He got rid of them.
44:37I guarantee you right now, if you asked Bobby Petrino, Are you the coach or the interim coach?
44:41He would say, I'm the coach.
44:43And Sam Pittman's stupid ass and Bobby Petrino's conniving ass are the duo of the week.
44:47See, here's the thing, though, is that, I mean, and we talked about this on Unnecessary Roughness this week.
44:51It's the, you know, he didn't get fired because he was a bad coach.
44:54He got fired because he got caught with a hot blonde that worked in the football program on the back of a motorcycle.
44:59So why wouldn't he think he's the coach?
45:01Like, it's not like he got fired for bad performance.
45:03He just, you know, wanted to dabble a little bit.
45:05They forgot about it.
45:06Now, Arkansas fans are probably so excited Bobby Petrino's back at the helm.
45:09You can't forget about the picture, though.
45:12The picture.
45:12Well, no, the picture.
45:13So this is a good question for Dan and Dave because we said this on Unnecessary Roughness.
45:16When you think of the number one college football meme in the social media industry.
45:20McIlwain fucking a shark.
45:21Okay.
45:22A hundred percent.
45:23That's fair.
45:23See, I think it's Bobby Petrino.
45:27Not Ashley McIlwain, but Petrino's up there.
45:29Petrino with the neck brace.
45:31Yeah, those are the two that we debated, whether it's 1A or 1B.
45:33I personally think that the neck brace photo will forever live in infamy.
45:38And the fact that he's back now.
45:39But if you're an Arkansas fan.
45:41Yeah.
45:41But it's not really him, though.
45:43No, it's not.
45:44But it is.
45:45It is.
45:45Yeah, no.
45:46Perception's reality.
45:47Yes, perception's reality.
45:49I just think that this is, like, if you're an Arkansas fan, you've forgiven him for having
45:52a little side action, right?
45:54I doubt it, but they don't care.
45:55Oh, they don't care?
45:56If they win one game, they weren't going to win, they'll be happy.
45:58I feel like, you know, the Arkansas fans are probably, like, okay, like, he got a little
46:02side act.
46:03We had Bill Belichick, you know.
46:04But I think they're more excited about potentially getting another coach rather than Bobby Petrino.
46:08Oh, I don't know.
46:09I would say this about Petrino.
46:10I would hope so.
46:10We do the big noon kickoff, like, pre-meetings, and it's, like, an hour-long call or whatever.
46:16You go through everything.
46:17And when they said Bobby Petrino in, everybody laughed.
46:21It was just, like, a knee-jerk that's just, he makes you laugh.
46:24It's, like, oh, Bobby Petrino's back.
46:26Time is a flat circle.
46:28Okay, Ev, your dynamic duo.
46:30So, me and Dan, I picked the same one, so I decided to pivot a little bit.
46:34How about Penn State picking maybe the wrong quarterback?
46:37Oh.
46:37I mean, they've shown you a little bit of Will Levis' situation.
46:40Now, I mean, you see Bo Perbulas playing awesome down at Mizzou.
46:43Maybe Drew Aller might be the better NFL prospect, but maybe not the better college quarterback.
46:48And so, I think it's Clifford and Levis was kind of the inverse of that, where Levis was probably the better NFL guy.
46:52But maybe, I don't know, he might have been better for college, too.
46:55But, yeah, I think they made a mistake.
46:57That's a good call.
46:57I think Drew Aller's the best.
46:59He's going to get drafted higher, obviously.
47:02But I don't know if he fits the offense better.
47:04Cotto Niccoli, I think he liked Perbulas' legs.
47:06That's why they used packages for him last year.
47:09And, yeah, I mean, Mizzou looks incredible.
47:11That offense looks incredible.
47:11So, they might have made a mistake.
47:13Yeah.
47:14Let's go to the Sonic Top Ten.
47:16So, Connor Griffin needs to get a Sonic Smasher.
47:18He needs to change up his pregame meal.
47:19The Penn State fans need to do that.
47:20Football fans deserve a better burger.
47:22And the Sonic Smasher is made with two Angus beef seasoned patties smashed and seared, crispy on the edges and juicy in the middle.
47:28It's then layered with two slices of melty American cheese, a signature creamy tangy smasher sauce, crinkle-cut pickles, diced onions, and served on a pillowy soft potato bun.
47:37The Sonic Smasher, melty, juicy, yet crispy, the perfect burger bite.
47:40I actually do want one this week.
47:42So, don't eat all of them, Brandon, please.
47:44So, we have the AP Top Ten behind the guys.
47:47This week, because we are in studio, we do our own Top Ten.
47:50So, let's unveil it now.
47:52We all vote.
47:53We all send in our Top Ten.
47:55You see me putting a label up like that?
47:58Yep.
47:59Okay, we've got Oregon, or no, Ohio State, Oregon, Miami, Texas A&M, Ole Miss, Oklahoma, Texas Tech, Indiana, Alabama, and Texas.
48:07Does anything stand out to you guys?
48:09I don't like Texas on it.
48:11I don't like Texas on it either.
48:12You claim I hate Texas A&M.
48:13I have them for it.
48:14I do love that.
48:16Texas should not be in the Top Ten, in my opinion.
48:18I had Georgia Tech Ten.
48:20Also, I think I had BYU Ten.
48:22I only put undefeated teams.
48:25Same.
48:25So, you think Georgia Tech's the 10th best team?
48:28I don't give a fuck.
48:29No, here we go.
48:30Here we go.
48:30They beat Wake Forest in overtime.
48:32Wake Forest is the worst team in the ACC.
48:33You just do hypotheticals.
48:35It's in your SEC nature.
48:36You just lie.
48:37No, I don't.
48:38I just said that.
48:39I do undefeated teams.
48:40But you don't think Wake Forest is the 10th best team.
48:42You lie.
48:42I don't give a fuck.
48:43The rest of the schedule, why do we vote?
48:45If you don't give a fuck.
48:46No, this is the thing.
48:46Because I do.
48:47What have you won?
48:48What have you done?
48:49The teams that are undefeated deserve to be ranked ahead of the teams that have lost.
48:53Disagree.
48:54Texas played Ohio State.
48:56Georgia Tech hadn't played Ohio State.
48:57Texas was better than Georgia Tech.
48:59That may be true.
49:01What has Texas done to be in the top 10, though?
49:03I just fucking told you.
49:04You think that they're better than all the other.
49:05Who did they beat?
49:07They got ranked in the top.
49:08Texas is a better football team than Georgia Tech.
49:11Why?
49:11Because they're better.
49:12They're not going to overtime with Wake Forest.
49:14But they might prove it.
49:15But you're pacing it off of preseason rankings.
49:18If you're just going by everybody undefeated, why vote at all?
49:21Why have an AP vote?
49:22It should just be, go down the list, and you just go dot, dot, dot, dot, dot, and the scores tell you who to rank.
49:27So why vote?
49:28I do agree with you on that.
49:30I do agree with you on that point.
49:31But Texas is there because of their preseason rankings.
49:33But the way y'all are doing it, we shouldn't even vote.
49:35Why play, Wake?
49:36Under your method, why play?
49:38Just look at the rosters and be like, better roster, better roster.
49:41Do you think Texas is better than Georgia?
49:43Do you think Georgia Tech is better than Texas?
49:45If they played, I don't know.
49:47I do.
49:47I think it would be a pretty close fucking game, to be honest.
49:50So, Brandon, my question.
49:52It would be a really good game.
49:54Who would, right now, who would be favored on a neutral field between Texas and Georgia?
49:58Georgia what?
49:59Georgia Bulldogs?
49:59Georgia.
50:00The Georgia Bulldogs.
50:01So did you, yeah.
50:01Probably very close.
50:03So, like, my—
50:04Georgia should be ahead of Texas.
50:05I put Georgia ahead of Texas.
50:07Like, they've lost, but I think Georgia should be number 10 not to—
50:09I don't think Texas should be in the top 10.
50:10All right.
50:11Where do you have Texas?
50:12I can't see our top 10.
50:13I have five.
50:14So I don't know where there are.
50:15Yeah.
50:15I think they're very good.
50:17You have Texas at five.
50:19I have Texas at five.
50:20They have to win a game that matters first.
50:22Yeah, Texas player look out minefield week.
50:24They have to win a game that matters first.
50:27I'm not saying Texas is bad.
50:28I'm saying they have not won a game that matters.
50:31That's fine.
50:32So why would I refill some speculation at this point?
50:34This is an earth is a flat circle debate for this panel.
50:38We do it all the time, yeah.
50:39Also, I mean, I mean, Florida State did beat the shit out of Bama.
50:43I know they just lost the game, obviously, but it feels weird this early in the season
50:46to have them just flat out above them.
50:49I mean, they smoked them less than a month ago.
50:52It's a fair point.
50:53All fair.
50:54All is fair.
50:55We're going to have a lot of points of view about this.
50:57That is true.
50:58Texas being five is crazy.
50:59Where were they the week before on your top ten?
51:01I don't know.
51:03They weren't.
51:03I have no idea.
51:05I'll go for eight to eight.
51:06Anyways, okay, so that was our show.
51:08Dave will be in Ann Arbor this weekend.
51:10Anything else from you guys?
51:12No.
51:13No?
51:13Good show.
51:13Good show.
51:14Good show.
51:14All right.
51:14We'll see you guys next week.
