00:00Who is the fourth team that could potentially make the playoff this year

00:06in the Big Ten?

00:07Illinois, Michigan, USC?

00:11You pick, left it or leave it.

00:14I have to pick.

00:16I have to pick.

00:18You're giving me Illinois, Michigan, USC.

00:21You can have any team, but Illinois is ranked 23rd.

00:24Michigan is ranked 25th.

00:25USC is not ranked.

00:27They only have one loss in the Big Ten.

00:28They lost by Illinois.

00:30By two on the road.

00:32They just smoked Michigan.

00:33Before their second loss they just had, obviously, was to Notre Dame.

00:37So here to me is a question.

00:39Does a 9-3, and I'm talking about, like, I'm viewing this as who gets in the playoff.

00:44Yeah.

00:46USC, Illinois, Notre Dame, losses, two ranked losses.

00:50Oregon could be the third no wins versus anybody that's ranked.

00:53Let's just say now, out of what you've seen out of the other three teams,

00:58because I think that those are the next three.

01:00I don't know if you can really, maybe you could toss Nebraska in there if you want to throw them in.

01:04But what you've seen, scheduling, forget about scheduling moving forward.

01:09Let me forget about it.

01:11How they played.

01:12Who do you think is the best?

01:14Buddy, here's the deal.

01:15They've been all so inconsistent.

01:18Okay.

01:18That it's hard.

01:19It's hard to pick Uno.

01:23I'm going to go with.

01:25You have to put the vast Schlegel estate and fortune on one of you.

01:29So I'm going to say this.

01:31I'm going to say that it's going to be Illinois.

01:34And it all is predicated upon this weekend because then they go Rutgers, Maryland, Wisconsin, Northwestern.

01:43They have a veteran quarterback.

01:44They play really good defense.

01:46They would have two losses and be 10 and two at the end of the season and go.

01:49That's why I'll pick.

01:50I'll pick Illinois with that.

01:52Okay.

01:52I don't necessarily hate that.

01:55It would have run.

01:56Who do you?

01:57USC.

01:58Yep.

01:58You've got a veteran quarterback.

02:00They play pretty good defense.

02:04They lost to Ohio state.

02:06And then who was their other law?

02:07They had smoked by Indiana.

02:12And I mean, that's kind of, yeah, I forgot the two.

02:15So they played the two best teams in the big time loss to them.

02:18They played one of the other teams that's in that conversation with them in USC and beat them.

02:25Now USC had to come to them.

02:26And I'm inclined to say USC, but after watching them play Notre Dame, and I think Notre Dame is really good.

02:33I think that they're very underrated.

02:35Like people are still holding those two losses against them early in the season.

02:38I get it.

02:39They're, they're two teams that are both ranked in the top 10.

02:42One is undefeated and they played very competitive games.

02:45That defense has gotten a lot better.

02:47So I'm not, I shouldn't hold that against USC nearly as much.

02:50Plus it was in Notre Dame.

02:51Now they did lose by 10 and they Marcus covered the spread.

02:55Good coaches win, great coaches cover.

02:58I am going to say Illinois as well, because I think that they have the veteran quarterback.

03:02Their defense, I think, is decent.

03:04Their receivers are pretty good.

03:05They run the ball okay.

03:06I know Bealem would probably like to run it a little better.

03:09I think USC is the second best team in that mix.

03:12I think Michigan is the third.

03:14And USC beat Michigan.

03:16They lost to Illinois.

03:17We'll see how some of these other things shake out as we move forward.

03:20They lost to the State of Yorkjorie Mark.

03:24They lost to the West Coast.

03:26They lost to the U.S.

03:28They lost to the U.S.

03:28But if you can make issues with the Cardiacal Service,

03:33then they're careful.

03:34You're most likely to get посмотреть.

03:35Get out of here.

03:36You're all coming to Missouri.

03:37They lost to the U.S.

03:38They lost to the U.S.

03:40They lost to U.S.,

03:41Which was mainly where they all began to nine.
