00:00uh lifted or leave it indiana and miami are the two best teams in the country and what i'm what
00:07i'm asking here slice is in the college basketball tournament very rarely do the two best teams make
00:13it to the final in a one-off situation because anybody can get beat on any day but do you think
00:19that the two best teams got here this year lift it or leave it oh i'm gonna say i'm gonna say
00:27lift it simply for the fact that they won the games and it's it's predicated upon winning
00:32um so i'm gonna lift it miami's done a great job they beat texas a&m they beat ohio state
00:40they beat old miss indiana is 15 and 0 you know start to finish have looked really good
00:47very very physical game best game they played all year um was against ohio state in the big
00:5310 championship game so i'm gonna say i'm gonna lift it because they're the ones that survived
00:59and that are playing in this and indiana has done it in a fashion that we haven't seen very similar
01:03to what ohio state did last year in their run so i'm gonna leave this because i think indiana is one
01:10of the best teams i think miami got as hot like ohio state was last year and they're playing really
01:15well right now which matters and so that's i think notre dame you could argue is maybe one of the best
01:20teams in football and they didn't even make it in i think ohio state is in that category and when you
01:26play teams in a one-off things go bad you throw a pick six you lose the game again that's that's the
01:31reality of it um and i think old miss was potentially in that category as well with how
01:35they were part of being best team is that you don't make those mistakes and that's i understand that
01:40but here's the thing every other sport you play a best of seven series because over the course of
01:45seven there's going to be the ebbs and flows in every game and you're going to be able to get a
01:49larger sample size and that's going to work out or when you have a one-off you may be seeing the
01:55one out of ten or the the three out of ten that falls in that believe me that matters i was the
01:59results on the field matter i go just because they beat them doesn't mean they're a better overall
02:03teams it means they're better on that day and that's what counts but i will i think this is
02:09pretty good i think indiana is definitely that they have been the most consistent high performing
02:13team all year and i think miami to their credit is playing the best right now at least on their
02:20side of the bracket i don't know if they're playing better than indiana but they obviously played well
02:24enough uh to get there all right number two indiana has the coaching advantage and the quarterback
02:32advantage on monday night lift it i only really need to expand upon it i mean you've heard so many
02:41people just talk about how well coached indiana is they're not going to beat themselves they take
02:46advantage of their opportunities honestly part of this game is the the mental side right so miami played
02:55almost an absolutely perfect game against ohio state in the game versus um old miss they had a number
03:04of penalties that that got them off schedule you know how did how are you able to overcome that versus
03:09this defense that indiana has they're very disciplined they're well coached so the answer
03:15is yes indiana lift it has the advantage of coaching and quarterback play on monday i'm gonna lift it
03:21because fernando mendoza's like a robot back there he doesn't make mistakes you watch him play you know
03:28he took he took a couple sacks against alabama to start to start the game and then was just an absolute
03:32terror he's tough to get around if you get to him maybe you can get him rattled a little bit but he
03:37does a good job he throws on the run he pulled it down um against oregon scrambled when he needed to
03:45he's an athletic guy he's six five but he is like a robot back there now he plays and kurt signetti my
03:51gosh likes i mean i've never seen a guy coach like he does on the sideline i love it when you watch him
03:56like it doesn't matter whether they're up 30 down 30 or somewhere in between have you ever seen anybody
04:01that's that is that locked into the game the entirety of the time yeah i have urban was like
04:10that right urban i mean saban like dudes that are bill belichick dudes that are just absolutely
04:15maniacal about the process and about performance i think trust is like that and i also think ryan's
04:22like that kirby's very animated kirby is very very involved in the defensive side of georgia and what
04:28they do um i would say this bob like all the good coaches that are in college football are very
04:34similar to that what what stands out about signetti on the sideline is just he is the same he doesn't
04:44like he does not get up and and his down is just what he looks like
04:50you
04:56are
04:58is
