00:00When coaches talk about loyalty and commitment, they say those words immediately followed by
00:06for now. It's been a week. Let's review it. Yeah, we need to review who's coaching where
00:11in college football right now. There's been some lucrative musical chairs being played.
00:16To win their division and it's a two and a half game lead for the Cowboys over the Eagles.
00:20Now part of the confidence is actually less about the Cowboys and more about their remaining
00:25schedule, specifically four of their five remaining games. The Cowboys are favored in every game
00:30against a divisional. Yeah, three of them are on the road. Doesn't matter. All in. All in on
00:36Dallas. But by rule, one of them will actually win a game because ties are not actually allowed
00:42in the NBA. And that makes for the easiest transition of the week. Week in review, the A is
00:48intentional. It's all in how you say it, too, because I'm from the D.C. area. I don't really
00:52have an accent. Nicole, your Midwestern comes out only on certain. Yeah. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.
00:57But accents can. My new parents. Do you think Drake adopted a Canadian accent? He is Canadian.
01:03Well, but he doesn't have a Canadian accent, does he? Or did they adopt a Canadian accent
01:07for him? Because sometimes you adopt the accent to make others feel more comfortable. Which is how
01:11we're defending Brian Kelly. Well, I will say this. He sounds so Southern, Brian Kelly. He plans
01:16on winning at LSU with a good run game and 11 herbs and spices. Nick Saban, by the way, has
01:23been
01:23the winning coach of two of them. We win because it's MVP time and we get this man right here.
01:28It's
01:28Desmond Howard. Okay, so if you don't remember, here's what you got. MVP. M is for the matchup
01:33he's most focused on. The V is for the vulnerable team today and the P is for the player to
01:39watch.
01:39Desmond, give me an M. Going along, also I'm paying attention to the fact that the Georgia defense
01:45has allowed exactly 8.3 points per game in conference play this season. So good luck,
01:49Alabama. You can see more of Desk College Game Day, 9 a.m. Eastern. It is right here on ESPN.
01:54It's all morning and he's obviously brought the manual. We'll get to that in a second.
01:58I want to talk about another quarterback, though, and Bryce Young, who ran all over the field
02:02against Auburn. And that offense was really capped out for, what, 59 minutes of that game? Now he has
02:09to take on one of the stingiest defense perhaps, perhaps ever, particularly in a long time.
02:14So how can Alabama maybe take advantage of Georgia?
02:19Well, look, good morning, Nicole. First off, I love to play a role into the four teams that we see
02:24in
02:24the college football playoff, but there are other impactful games today. So pull out the manual.
02:29Who's in it this week? Yeah, Nicole, this morning is going to be Spencer Sanders,
02:33the quarterback, Oklahoma State. Baylor, Oklahoma State. Keep in mind, this championship game
02:37is a rematch because the Cowboys won the first meeting against Baylor 24-14. It's a while ago,
02:43though, early October. See ya. We want to talk the SEC title game, so let's go live to the one
02:49and only
02:49Tim Tebow, who has a lot of experience in this sort of environment. And Randolph mentioned it.
02:54This Georgia defense hasn't allowed more than 17 points in a game the entire season. So if you were
02:59Bryce Young, the Alabama quarterback, how would you have spent the week preparing for this game?
03:05Well, I'll tell you what, it definitely is a big week. They gave me a mic this week,
03:08so I don't even know it's a very loud environment. It also means that Tim's sort of having a what
03:12do
03:12I do with my hands? What do I do with my hands moment? I want to talk about the other
03:16quarterbacks.
03:17There we go. What do I do? The other quarterbacks that are playing today, they all are going to have
03:20an impact on who we see in the final four come Tuesday. Which one is got to step up the
03:27most?
03:29I think it's Spencer Sanders for Oklahoma State. You look at this Oklahoma State,
03:33and you're going to see him more this afternoon on SEC Nation. Though, keep in mind, I said afternoon
03:37to Eastern. That is today leading into the Georgia-Alabama game. Thank you.
03:42Look, Bill Belichick is a guy who takes away your greatest strengths. So what is his plan to slow
03:48down the bills? Well, I talked to Josh Allen this week. I was in Buffalo. He's, and so the bills
03:51think,
03:51hey, we'll take our money here knowing that more often than not, he's going to get us on the good
03:56side of a win. Might be a few mistakes in the process, but they're okay with that. We're getting to
04:00the
04:00point in the season. It's getting late. The injuries are piling up. The bills know that.
04:05They just lost Trey White. Oh, we could go to the tour in ACL. But there's also some good news
04:09coming
04:10for Buffalo. What is it? Because the Patriots do rank first in points differential, also scoring
04:15defense this season. That is Jeremy Fowler with us live this morning on SportsCenter.
04:19The people, the stories that we are rooting for. No, my bandwagon, Michigan. More specifically,
04:25Jim Harbaugh. Now, this has nothing to do with khakis and finally living. This, I don't support.
04:29This, I'm not a fan of. You're wearing a crown to signify your win in what? The season-long
04:35picks? Yes. Peasants, you may finish the rest of the way. Oh, I have 15 whole seconds that I can
04:41fill here. What I will say is, your picks, you always, I thought you were crazy picking the upsets
04:46that you did, but you finished like 15 games over 500 all season. So, congratulations. Really smart.
04:51We are done. Jokes and segments that you have to explain. That's my safe space. You know,
04:56it's not a safe space behind the line of scrimmage because even if you're a quarterback,
05:00even if you have your hands. Talk about that. I actually like it. I like it a hell of a
05:04lot
05:04more than that proposal. What is wrong with, now, as someone who's proposed once or twice in my time,
05:10let me just say the public proposal route, like, all you're looking for is the right answer. That's it.
05:15I think it sets you up for how you propose sets you up for what's going to come.
05:20Okay. All right. We're going to leave it. Week 13 in the NFL, we will have cold weather football
05:25today. That's kind of football. Could also have winter weather today, maybe snow in Chicago,
05:29definitely snow Monday night. Buffalo, nice and warm in the studio, though. Arguable,
05:33arguable. Countdown coming up top of the hour, and that means right now,
05:36we get to say hello to the crew. Good morning, Sam. Good morning. Saturday right now,
05:42Cincinnati likely to make history, right? Likely we expected. They have to go, though,
05:47to get a natty through either Georgia or Alabama, maybe both. How do they stack up?
05:52Well, I mean, listen, everyone thought was one of the best ever, and that happened.
05:56Not so much. No, not so much. So what adjustments need to be made, both offensive and defensively,
06:02before they play their next game? Guys, understand, like, listen, y'all not as good as you thought
06:05you were. Grind it out a little bit, and then they can have a chance to play Alabama again.
06:08All right. Bama did win, but they also lost John Mechie in that one, and the belief is a torn
06:12ACL. How does that impact them moving forward? That's huge, because you saw Jameson Williams
06:16making the Jameson Williams making it. Yeah, you can't watch. You can't watch any issues moving
06:20forward. Too soon. We're going to get our matchups here in a matter of hours, right? The selection
06:23show at noon Eastern. We're going to understand one through four. We'll be able to dissect it then.
06:28Is there a team in the rest of this projected feed? Will you feel like Alabama would absolutely
06:33roll? Like they match up the ballgame? We'll find out the official rankings in a matter of hours.
06:38Yeah, a lot to digest. It's a busy day for this guy. The reveal show is at noon. You can
06:44see it
06:45right here on ESPN. Part of that show is probably going to be the news out of Oklahoma, because no
06:49one on planet Earth who loves the Falcons quite like Tom Brady, because he's never lost to Atlanta.
06:54Not in nine games. Bad news for the rest of the league. This is a Bucs team that last year
06:58never
06:59lost a game after November. For more on that, here's Dan Graziano. Everything you need to know.
07:04That time of year. Nothing in life has felt more relatable than this couple right here.
07:09What did he say? I don't, it doesn't matter. It could have been anything. Like, hey honey,
07:12they're going to blow their sleep. What hurts more? Hey honey, I need you to get up early in
07:16the morning. Hey, when I say something, happy birthday to my baby girl, Finley. I love you
07:19way more than you know. She's eight. Guys, how did that happen? Countdown.
07:38Good night.
07:38Good night.
07:50Good night.
