00:00Clint, the college football playoff bracket are out.

00:05Everyone was waiting to see how this thing would shake out, Clint,

00:08and I think it was really just down to really three teams, right?

00:12Alabama, who had lost to Georgia, was it 28-7 in the SEC championship game,

00:21and then Miami, and then Notre Dame.

00:27Those were what it seemed like it came down to because of the situation of

00:32James Madison and Tulane being the fourth and fifth highest rated

00:37and ranked conference champions that they would get those spots.

00:42They ended up going with Alabama and Miami getting the last two spots

00:50and Notre Dame being left out.

00:54And, hell, they've just said, we're not even going to compete in our bowl game.

00:56They're just skipping.

00:57They're taking their ball.

00:58They're done.

00:58They're going home.

01:00Before we even get to that point, do you have any issue with what the committee did

01:05in terms of the 12 teams they put in, really the two at largest

01:11because they can't really control James Madison and Tulane?

01:14Well, yeah, I mean, yeah, I got a problem with the whole thing.

01:17The way it all unfolded here.

01:19I mean, the beautiful thing is that it's so extreme that it's going to require

01:26some level of overhaul.

01:27It's going to require them to make moves and make changes.

01:31Unfortunately, it's in hindsight.

01:33The people that put this together should have known that this could happen

01:36with James Madison and Tulane getting in.

01:39The truth of the matter is you've got two teams on the inside that have absolutely

01:42zero chance of winning the college football playoff.

01:45And you've got two teams, one for damn sure, if not two, sitting on the outside

01:51that would have a significantly better chance.

01:54And that's Notre Dame and obviously Texas who wasn't getting in no matter what

01:58happened after what we saw unfold.

02:00So, yeah, I think I got a problem with all of it, absolutely.

02:04But to your point, I mean, I don't know whoever thought about, whoever thought that

02:13playing conference championship games and making the point that they can, no matter

02:22what happens, they can't hurt you, they can only help you.

02:25I don't know how on God's green earth anybody that's evaluating football teams

02:30in college football playoff brackets could say that.

02:32I mean, if you go out there and you get skull drugged the way that BYU did, or if you turn

02:40around and you get dominated wire to wire the way Alabama did, there is no way that you

02:46can overlook that.

02:47I mean, you can only bump them one deal, you can let them in, but there's no way that anybody

02:53should have ever thought conference championships were going to play them, but they ain't going

02:58to mean nothing.

02:59They can't hurt you, they can only help you.

03:00But that was plumb-ass silly.

03:02So now we're stuck in a position where it hurts the BYUs of the world, but it doesn't

03:07hurt the Alabamas of the world.

03:08So, yeah, man, I just, I got a problem with all of it.

03:12And yeah, I think Notre Dame got screwed.

03:16And I think Alabama, if you're trying to get the best teams in, there's nothing you can do

03:21with Tulane and JMU.

03:22And you're just looking at the three teams you mentioned, I think A&M, I'm sorry, I think

03:28Notre Dame got screwed, and I think Alabama should have been a team on the out looking

03:31in.

03:32Yeah.

03:33I think they're going to do something to change something big time, but I don't want them to.

03:40I think the ACC and other teams at conferences have changed whatever the crazy tiebreaker

03:50situation is that gets them to a point where a five-win Duke team or five-loss Duke team

03:56gets to the conference championship game where you have another two-loss, you know, a team

04:01that's got two losses in Miami.

04:02It's got, like, ranking, head-to-head, something.

04:04It's got to jump in there to make that.

04:07Because Duke should have never been able to play in that.

04:11And I think that right there would have fixed it.

04:13But I don't, I hope that they don't, because I think James Madison found a glitch in the

04:23system.

04:25And the glitch in the system is, oh, darn, like, the A's let Duke in.

04:32And they aren't going to get ranked over them if they beat Virginia.

04:36Now, I'll be honest with you, I don't know if Virginia, Duke, and James Madison are that

04:42different of teams, right?

04:43Like, I bet you they'd all give each other a run for their money right now, the three

04:47of them.

04:48I bet they're at a closer level right now, just the other two playing the ACC.

04:53But they found a glitch because the ACC's champion wasn't ranked as high as them because

04:59it ended up being Duke.

05:00And they get in.

05:01I don't think that will rarely ever happen.

05:03I think in most cases, Miami would have been in that game.

05:08And that would have played itself out.

05:11And it would have just been Tulane.

05:13It would have been just the one team.

05:14And for me, I do like the thought process of having a bit of the March Madness, at least

05:20a team that's a real Cinderella.

05:23Well, the glitch to me, correct me if I'm wrong, Ron, but the glitch comes when you did

05:27away with the Pac-12.

05:28So, as the other, yeah, when you did the top five.

05:32You had five potential championships, and so you only had one outsider.

05:36Like, there's only a chance of one other conference champion outside of five.

05:41Now you're looking at the highest ranked conference champion outside of four.

05:44And if one of those four messes the bed, boy, you're in a tough spot.

05:48Yeah.

05:48Or your conference, like, or your, but see, it shouldn't have messed a bit.

05:52Like, Miami should have been in their conference championship.

05:54Agreed.

05:54And they're, and they're ranked.

05:57Like, I don't know how it doesn't go to.

06:00The highest two ranked teams.

06:02Yeah, head to head.

06:02If head to head and all of that, no matter the two highest ranked teams, I don't know

06:06how it doesn't go, go to that.

06:08That, that seems silly.

06:09I don't even know how Duke got it in, got in over them with that.

06:13But I just, I, I, I hope this change doesn't just say, all right, we're going to really

06:21make it to where we're going to just keep, you know, you know, maybe mid major type teams

06:29out of it.

06:30We're going to force it.

06:30Like I heard someone said, if you are, if you are a conference champion, you have to

06:35be ranked in the top 10 or something to be able to get in.

06:39So James Madison doesn't get in.

06:41And then they would have put Notre Dame.

06:43It's because I just, it's never going to be the, to me, the 12 best teams.

06:47It's going to be the 12 most deserving teams.

06:50Like I said, it's never, it's never going to be that.

06:52Right.

06:53So, so I don't, I don't, I don't know.

06:55I don't, I don't think they got it wrong.

06:56It damn sure my Notre Dame can't get in over Miami.

06:59That damn sure could, that couldn't happen.

07:02Um, but, but no, man, James, James Madison.

07:05Uh, I hope they don't get the doors blown off of them by Oregon.

07:09Probably will.

07:10I hope that thing is, I hope that thing is tight, but.

07:14Do we know if their coaches is James Madison's coach and Tulane's coach going to coach him

07:18in the college football playoffs?

07:19I know they coached him in a conference champions.

07:21I think so.

07:22Cause what Tulane's coach is going to Florida, right?

07:25And, uh, JMU's, I can't remember where he's going, but I'm pretty sure.

07:29Yeah.

07:29He's, he's leaving too.

07:30Yeah.

07:30Iowa state.

07:32Maybe.

07:32No, I didn't.

07:33Cause that just came open.

07:35Yeah.

07:35The Washington state coach is the one that's going to Iowa state.

07:38He's the one that took a bunch of kids to Washington state with him and then left them

07:41after a year.

07:41And he's going to Iowa state.

07:42Yeah.

07:43Yeah.

07:43Just switching it up.

07:44Just switching it up.

07:45Got to do his best for my family, man.

07:46Move closer to home.

07:47No.

07:48Yeah.

07:48But I, but this is just going to be, they do it.

07:50If they move it to 16, we're going to do this with 15 and 16 or 16 and 17.

07:57We're going to do it with this thing all the time.

08:00But again, for me, like, see, I'm not, I'm not as certain.

08:04I'm not as certain that Sean Pendergast may be upset with this, but I'm not as certain

08:09as like, Oh yeah, Notre Dame and Texas definitely could, would, could be a team that could win

08:15a, a national championship.

08:18I'm not saying they couldn't, but I like, they haven't been consistent enough this year.

08:22That, that leads me to believe like, yep, they're going to, they're going to be able to run through

08:26three or four.

08:27Like we've so much so like you've, you're left, you've left a team at the Notre Dame.

08:31The only two teams they played on our schedule that is really, really worthy.

08:36They lost.

08:37Yeah.

08:38Right.

08:38And, and, and Texas has just been up and down.

08:40I believe Texas probably can win one of the games and then they may go back to being, you

08:45know, the, the other team that played half the year.

08:47So, uh, I, interesting.

08:50I hate the fact that these cats just saying, no, man, I ain't going to participate in these

08:53ball games.

08:54Hey, state's out.

08:55I mean, take your ball and go home.

08:58If you don't get what you want, boy, just for an organ, for a program to, um, you know,

09:03to, to set that standard with all their players is just, that's wild.

09:08And they both get that down.

09:09They got to figure that out because this, this is making it worse.

09:13Those bull games got to figure out what they're going to do.

09:15Well, look, I understand the teams that have a coaching change and don't have a staff in

09:19place to prepare for a bowl game.

09:21I totally understand.

09:22Even though I would argue that the new staff, if you're going to hire that guy, should

09:25go, should use those 15 days to go practice with his team to figure it out.

09:28Last thing you should do is cancel a damn game.

09:30But I can understand a team bowing out that, that, that either has just ravaged by injuries

09:36or has had a head coach change.

09:38These teams that are just bowing out of bowl games because, oh, they want to get a head

09:41jump on the portal or this, they're trying to make, prove this point about the calendar

09:44or they're pouting because they didn't get the college football playoffs.

09:47Man, that's a, I went to two bowl games, man.

09:49I'm just going to tell you, man, it was some of the, well, this is some of the best times

09:53of your life, man, on the road with your guys for sometimes 10, 10, 12 days, maybe, maybe

09:59a week in Florida somewhere.

10:01A lot of these guys have never let me, I know I'd never been to Florida and I'd never obviously

10:05been to Dallas, but I mean, just the experience that comes with it, man.

10:10As much as these boosters are paying these kids nowadays, man, for a team to just be like,

10:13ah, nah, I'm good.

10:14I mean, that's, that's wild, man.
