00:00Notre Dame-Miami, number 11 versus number one.
00:05Just like, you want to talk about.
00:08It pains you to say that, doesn't it?
00:09It pains you to say that.
00:11No, I actually think that it just, listen,
00:14I don't mean to be a conspiracy theorist, Dave.
00:16I think sometimes, like, in sports, you come off like a bit of a whack job.
00:21But you think it's a coincidence that the ESPN-ran committee show
00:26ended up taking this from a one-verse-four to one-verse-11 while the game's on NBC.
00:31And their Georgia-Ole Miss game got top-10 billing.
00:35Like, and the SEC's Alabama got top-five billing.
00:38Like, I'm supposed to think that that's a coincidence
00:40that Notre Dame playing the game on NBC got ranked 11th?
00:44The show might have been on ESPN, but the rankings are not ESPNs.
00:49The rankings are the committees that has nothing to do with ESPN.
00:52Oh, you're right.
00:53Nothing to do with the conferences.
00:56You're right.
00:57Total coincidence.
00:59Total coincidence.
01:01You're right.
01:02I mean, Alabama being number five,
01:03people are shouting SEC conspiracies like they do all the time.
01:06Do I think Notre Dame is number 11 because the game is on NBC?
01:10No.
01:11I think they're number 11 because I just don't think the committee is very smart
01:14and didn't watch a lot of football.
01:16Notre Dame is not the 11th best team in the country.
01:19I had them number four.
01:20I did my rankings before the rankings came out,
01:24and I had Notre Dame number four.
01:25And you'd say, ah, who have they played?
01:26I don't care.
01:27They win.
01:28I watch what they've done.
01:29They should have beaten BYU.
01:31I do think they take care of business tonight versus Miami.
01:35I just think getting seven and a half points with Miami,
01:38even without Malachi Tony,
01:40is a gift that the books are giving us because this is a three and a half,
01:43four point spread.
01:44Just a week and a half ago, Miami didn't play well.
01:47There's Florida State, struggled to beat North Carolina.
01:50All of a sudden, the number moves.
01:52They're still a darn good football team.
01:55And if you're going to give me seven and a half with arguably one of those
01:58talented teams in the country,
01:59a team that was four minutes away from winning the national title last year,
02:03a team who beat this Notre Dame team last year,
02:07I think Miami covers the spread.
02:09Notre Dame ekes one out very similar to, you know,
02:12flip the script from last year.
02:14I have this as we'll go 28-27 Notre Dame.
02:19Wow.
02:20That is a long and stressful evening you're signing me up for with that final score.
02:26I'll be at the swap.
02:27So you enjoy that one.
