00:00By the way, Joe, Oregon and Iowa today.

00:02Hear me out on this.

00:03Oregon is favored by just under a touchdown.

00:05Six, six and a half, depending on where you're shopping at.

00:07The total, 42 and a half for an Oregon game.

00:09That's usually the team total for Oregon.

00:11But understand the way Iowa plays football, Joe,

00:13and let me give you the weather conditions from Iowa today.

00:16Rain all day long in the forecast.

00:19Winds not really high, around six to seven miles per hour.

00:22And you take a look there.

00:23One team wants to run the football.

00:25One team wants to keep this close.

00:27One team wants to punt the football.

00:28One team wants to pin you down.

00:30That's Iowa.

00:30I can't stand Iowa.

00:32Do they have a chance in this game against Oregon?

00:33Oh, of course they have a chance because it's Iowa

00:35and their dominant home team under Kirk Ferentz,

00:38especially in the month of November.

00:40But I just think athletically, I think Oregon should smash them in this game

00:44with bad weather or not.

00:46I just think Oregon has a speed advantage on the perimeter.

00:50Definitely Dante Moore over Gronowski.

00:52And I still think Oregon's defense can contain Iowa,

00:55put them into long third down situations.

00:57I think 14 points might be enough.

01:00What about the total, though, Joe, in this?

01:01I think it's an over.

01:02Just because I think Oregon could smash them.

01:04I think Oregon in this game could put up 30, 35 points if Iowa gives you 10.

01:11Yeah.

01:1114.

01:12I think that's enough.

01:13You get the over 42.

01:14Untypical of an Iowa game because Iowa wants to run the football

01:17and keep Dante Moore on the sidelines.

01:20But I just think it's a bad matchup.

01:21I know they're a dominant home team, but I think Dan Lanning and this team

01:26exploit them over the top.

01:28Six and a half.

01:29I would make this line, honestly, Donnie, I know it sounds crazy.

01:32Nine and a half, ten.

01:33By the way, it feels like Oregon is a lost team, Joe, in the shuffle in the Big Ten

01:37because so much of the focus goes on Ohio State and Indiana.

01:40Oregon's still ranked ninth in the country, seven and one overall.

01:44Talk to me about the prospects of Oregon also, Joe, like moving forward.

01:47Expectations their favorite to win this game, and they do.

01:49Are they still a player?

01:50Oh, yeah, absolutely.

01:51I think the difference is that you're not wowed by Oregon this year

01:56because of Dante Moore.

01:58I think when you just look at Oregon as a whole and you see the one loss

02:01and you're like, ah, you know, last year they were undefeated

02:04and got smacked around by Ohio State, so that still lingers.

02:07But Dan Lanning has done a great job.

02:09They've recruited well athletically on the defensive side of the ball.

02:13As long as they take care of business,

02:15even if they don't make a Big Ten championship game,

02:18they're an at-large team.

02:20One or two loss Oregon is definitely going to make the college football playoff.

02:25Answer me this quickly, though.

02:26Iowa side of things.

02:27They beat top ten Oregon today.

02:29They beat USC on the road next week, finish off with Michigan State and Nebraska.

02:33Are they in the college football playoff?

02:36They got a shot, man.

02:37They have a shot.

02:38I'll pose this.

02:39I brought it up to Coach Bowden.

02:41Iowa versus Oklahoma.

02:42That has two losses.

02:43And Oklahoma would knock off Alabama.

02:47I can't stand the way Iowa plays, so they get downgraded immediately.

02:50I would have Oklahoma.

02:51If Oklahoma and Iowa are two losses, it's Oklahoma.
