Late Kick Live Ep 545: Chaos Is Coming | GT Stuns FSU | New JP Poll | Herbie Haters | NCAA vs Mich

I want you all to be careful I want you to have fun welcome back I know a lot of you were back you um frankly you selfishly recognize the off season but that's okay we've been here the whole time but it's okay you can come back now a lot of folks are coming back to the college football table but I want you to come back with an open heart and an open mind and I give you the same warning that mimo used to give me all the time mimo when speaking about week zero actually week zero didn't exist in meal's time meal when speaking about week one used to always say and I'm going to say again the wise man makes observations the foolish man draws conclusions we are jam-packed as jam-packed as we could ever be we are high top a picturesque downtown Nashville Tennessee Sunday night August 25th the year of ourl 2024 Florida State wow Georgia Tech wow same word very different meaning there uh do you think that this season is giving off some pretty big chaos Vibes we're not even into week one yet but already I'm getting the sense we kind of found out some stuff about Florida State the only difference between Florida State and several of our other top 10 top 20 top 25ish teams as we're about to find out about them there's some posers out there amongst us and who knows who they are well hopefully we'll try and pick through it tonight I got an updated JP poll unprecedented I am releasing a second edition of the JP poll before 98% of you have even played a game but I thought it was necessary because one of our top 10 teams was not and that's the way it goes power ratings are not rankings but sometimes you can fall pretty quickly down the power ratings if you um well if you do what Florida state did yesterday so I've got that I've got two not one two additions to week one's Ramen Noodle Express tonight welcome back to the ramen noodle Express presented by FanDuel now they're watching us in Oxford Mississippi they're watching us in Silsby Texas Spring Hill Florida Seattle Washington I would recommend you guys just Mosey on over to the socials and make sure you're following me at Lake kick Josh you know some news broke yesterday some Rumblings turned into reports that um I'll be collaborating with someone tomorrow I believe we're going to record it later tonight and look I don't want to drop any names I mean you'll probably hear him with Gus Johnson this weekend calling whichever game fox has I don't want to drop any names but I think it I think it could be pretty groundbreaking and so that'll be fun you find these things out if you're following on Instagram or Twitter at Lake kick Josh okay let's dive into the show um I want to be responsible this is our first game breakdown of the year so I want to be very responsible the way we do it around here is a little different so Georgia Tech what does this say Colin 24 Florida State 21 so the double digit favorite seols go down in Ireland it counts even if it's in another country you got to have your head on a swivel this time of year uh there are beliefs and then there are just these working theories and I've always been of the opinion that even though we go through all of spring and we go through all of Summer and you go through media days and you go through fall Camp the best you can hope to have on these teams are really these loose sets of working theories for instance there was a strong working Theory out there in the college football ether that am I reading this piece of paper right Florida state had the best defensive line in the country well that was one way to look at it the other way to look at it is the view that Georgia Tech had yesterday and they said no I H not so fast this was a Greg Maddox special of a game for those of you who weren't around Greg Maddox used to routinely get him out of there in under two hours and then make a 930 uh dinner time if they were on the road or whatever Greg Maddox wasted no time Greg Maddox didn't even seek the strikeout Greg Maddox wanted you putting the ball in play the first two or three pitches of theat CA that just gets the game over quicker that gets him back to the Dugout quicker listen to this our first paper pop stat of the Year 14 total drives in this game seven drives were four plus minutes only two drives were less than two minutes now I'm about to hit you with the first padlock stat of the Year FSU in the final 21 minutes and 19 seconds of this game one drive final 21 minutes 619 to go in the third quarter from that point on FSU touch the ball one time the rest of the game 67 runs 43 passes in this game so the most glaring aspect of this to me was line of scrimmage play I think most of you who watch this game you think the same thing you oh man Georgia Tech really put him on skates yeah yeah that's part of what stood out but that wasn't the alarming part that was just a football game we'll see that happen every week this year to varying degrees uh you want a padlock stat number two and then I'll tell you what alarmed me padlock stat number two Georgia Tech imagine seeing this stat for those of you who are new around here the padlock stat is if I were to tell you this stat the day before the game you'd pretty well know how the game was going to turn out Georgia Tech 190 to 98 rushing Advantage Georgia Tech 89 to 20 89 to 20 they outrushed Florida state in the second half um that wasn't supposed to happen now here's the alarming part those are just stats that's just a football game the alarming part is the closer you got to this Florida State program over the past last month the more confident folks sounded about their running game and the more confident folks sounded about their impenetrable defensive front maybe my word not theirs but we heard Pete thill on game day yesterday you think P Pete thill didn't make that up Pete thill was regurgitating Intel that was given to him probably from inside the program folks around the FSU program folks on the FSU beat folks working for different team websites they were getting drug over the hlls last night their members in some cases asking for refunds why because they felt misled because a lot of folks who report on this team misled me you told me that we were going to be good and then I saw us and we weren't and so this could be one of two things I have my suspicions as to which one it is sometimes a collective media beat around a team will just get caught wishcasting wishcasting is absent any real information you just start making it up as you go and you end up painting a picture of a team that ends up further and further away from what the reality of that team is now the reason I don't think that's what this was was because most time if coaches if they're any anywhere near smart enough to Reign it in if they start to sense that the hype bubble around their program is getting too big they'll go pop it themselves they'll read an article they'll look at a gallery on a message board they'll go look at a a segment we do whatever the case may be and they'll reach out and say Hey you might want to pump the break now pump it just a little bit you're going to make me look terrible because you're going to build us up to be something we aren't and then week one's going to come and we're going to disappoint everyone and folks are going to be mad at me because of the hype you built so sure the folks around Florida State and the media beat there they could have been wishcasting Pete thill could have been wishcasting he could have just decided on the flight over to Dublin you know I'm going to go on national TV and I'm going to say I think this team's got the best defensive line in the country yeah that's one Theory the other Theory the one I happen to prescribe crib to is they were just regurgitating Intel that people inside the program gave them now that is a little more alarming because that means folks inside Florida State thought they had the best defensive line in the country folks inside Florida state folks who you know do football for a living those folks thought that they were going to dominate UPF front those folks thought that line of scrimmage and Run game were going to be their bread and butter here and if DJ's not great if DJ can't stretch the field vertically that's okay we'll just Rock fight this thing early and then we'll we'll give our offense time to round into forum and that is a little more alarming because that paints a picture of a coaching staff that may not have a firm grasp on what the football team was I don't know which the case is I just know collectively a lot of folks got Hoodwinked on this and um I'm not as close to the program obviously as like a lot of other people were talking about but even I watched it and I said whoo this does not at all match up with what I heard and what I thought I should expect here so the other side to that is maybe maybe it's not quite as bad as it seems because I was texting back and forth with uh Danny canel yesterday he's still alive um I'm not going to go as far as to say he's okay but I can confirm he's still with us this is not a Daniel canel Memorial show just yet but I was texting back and forth with him and look honestly it's my job to nurse him back to health emotionally in times like these and so I did say Daniel now one of the big mistakes that people make I I didn't necessarily mean this but one of the big mistakes people make is sometimes when there's an upset early in the year everyone talks about how the favorite was overrated but hardly anyone takes time to acknowledge maybe the underdog was underrated maybe Georgia Tech's just a whole lot better I think there's a healthy dose of both in play right now but I will say um solid solid golf clap for Brent ke and Georgia Tech we've always asked the show we've always the question on this show who's who's going to figure out how to harness Atlanta Texas A&M is the biggest sleeping giant program in the sport I've always thought Arizona State's up there and there are a couple of other North Carolina like if North Carolina ever got right I think they could be a really really solid program Georgia Tech's pretty high on that list they always have been for me I grew up in Georgia grew up hours south of Atlanta always had a I thought a pretty good read on the program I thought uh Jeff for example I thought there was a half decent chance he'd come in there and he'd do that a lot of stuff happened that I didn't necessarily expect and it didn't end up being Jeff Collins so now um Brent key takes over and what if I told you well first off we have a Post-It pop here Boom the first Post-it pop of the Year Georgia Techs all of a sudden 5 and0 versus ranked ACC teams under Brent key hello that stat kind of snuck up on a lot of you I'm not done uh they've completely remade the program most of you found that that out for the first time yesterday they had listen to this now they had five scoring drives all of last year that were 10 plays and six plus minutes or longer all of 2023 they had five scoring drives that were 10 plays six minutes or longer they had three of them yesterday three of them in one afternoon so who can harness Atlanta well maybe it's maybe it was Brink key after all harnessing Atlanta just simply means do you understand how inexcusable it is that we for a long time have had a major power four power five program at the intersection of the SEC and the ACC which is Atlanta Georgia right there in the heart of the hottest geographical recruiting bed in the South um and it's been irrelevant Georgia Tech hasn't even been the biggest name in their own City in college football for a long time I always looked at it and I said why and all people could ever tell me is well academics and I I used to always tell them um you're you're telling me that's the only place I mean this is right smack dab in the middle of David Shaw dominating at Stanford by the way you're telling me that's the only place it's a little tough to get into you're telling me that you can't find 20 to 25 kids any given year that are qualified to get into Georgia Tech that can also do a few things on the football field I always thought that was stupid it is it has been stupid for a long time so George Tech man let's see what they do this year I'm going to show you where they are in the JP poll a little bit later where does Florida State go from here is a question that I'm not asking tonight only because I've seen it asked everywhere else today so it's semantics I'm not I'm not um not taking a shot at anyone but I want to ask you guys now who are big expansionists out there do you really believe in this 12 team playoff or not CU some of the same folks out there who sold me on one game not being the end of the world for a team because you can afford to lose are painting it as the end of the world because Florida State lost Florida State may lose four games this year for all I know or they may never lose again for all I know but what's next for Florida State well you get back to work and you go play Boston College as best I can tell that's what's next for Florida State it's not like they lost a boxing match and their next one's a year and a half from now it's it's not like they had their soul sucked out of them well they better not have but everybody's piling on DJ ouang for being basically the quarterback he's been his entire career that was the least surprising thing to me yesterday that that DJ OU angal didn't take over the game he's not a guy who takes over games uh he is a guy who probably needs help from his Supporting Cast and didn't get enough of it and look if I didn't know any better and I watched that game yesterday it's almost like watching that Bama team back in 2021 where Bryce young had to go herob ball on every play because it seems like after the ball gets snapped everyone just Waits on him to do something well that this is not the cat to do that so it's going to have to be a collective effort there at Florida State but man three tackles for loss and zero sacks for that defensive front meanwhile Georgia Tech racks up seven tackles for loss they're that much better than you are you serious you got to have some pride in that defensive line room it it takes more it takes more than just going into spring and then everyone writing positive articles about you and then you just kind of surf it's like ride a wave into the season the rents due every day you don't get to do some things and then rest on those Laurels you guys haven't done anything by the way you're not last year's team you haven't done anything so you got a spear on the side of your helmet cuz they thought you were good enough to wear it that's not how football works like that's not how being a big-time team at Florida State works so now the ACC picture just to give you some updated odds courtesy of our friends at FanDuel Clemson is now favored to win this conference Miami is right on their heels second Florida State and NC State are tied for having the third best odds and Florida State just lost conference game and Louisville and Virginia Tech are what one two 3 4 fifth and sixth respectively uh Rett Lashley and the boys barely escaped Nevada last night with a win they're at plus 1200 so now all a sudden one two three four five six we got two four we got seven teams plus 12200 are better odds we got six teams in these singled digigit odds which just means the ACC all of a sudden looks like a Richard man's version of the Big 12 and in a sense that you got a bunch of teams that perception could make a move I also thought Brad Crawford had a really good point today and he pointed out that Florida State's got a conference loss now so down the road they don't play Virginia Tech they don't play NC State so both of those teams could lose a game as long as they beat Georgia Tech and both of them play Georgia Tech they'd have a tiebreaker over Florida State just to give you an idea of the eightball that Florida State kind of put themselves behind now Florida State wins every one of their remaining games they'll go to the AC championship game can they win those games what are they going to look like against Boston College we shall see we are going to be in Gainesville Florida this I'll get down there Friday I think wo it's red in here cane Vibes Colin wow I should we should get the Flames so I'm going to be in Gainesville and I'm going to be there courtesy of quick trip because the whole new Saturday tour is powered by quick trip and I know a lot of you are watching right now like we got five or 6 thousand folks watching live a lot of you are new we do this every week of every college football season now Quick Trip has hopped on board as our presenting sponsor for this but I go to most of the time the biggest game in the country every time the game I choose to go to every week and so we try and get to as many of them as we can we're going to be down there Friday uh Friday night lines will emanate from Gainesville in some hotel room somewhere in Florida this Friday night more on that later but we're looking forward to this we have given away dozens and dozens and dozens of gallons multiple tanks Tai I guess the plural of Tanks of free gas this week alone you know how fun that is when you partner with a major gas station Corporation and they just say just go give away a bunch of gas what are the rules there are no rules just give away the gas really well I've had fun with that and a lot of you guys have too now my advice download their app download their app because it's going to help you even if I don't give you free gas it's going to lower the cost of your gas anyway there's a QR code on the screen right now but you can just go download their app on your own if you're not watching if you're listening on podcast uh quick Trip's been awesome to work with it's almost like one of our staffers left us went to quick trip and then immediately partnered with us that's the kind of synergy we've had with them that's been fun and the season hasn't really even started yet so we're looking really forward to getting on the road with them this fall meanwhile speaking of this fall yesterday fairly chaotic I mean I think a lot of you were at least surprised if not outright shocked by what you saw so Colin here's a good endpoint for you Florida state fall into Georgia Tech double- digigit favorite not the biggest upset we've ever seen But since it was the first thing you saw this year I think it grabbed a lot of You by the shoulders and just violently shook you and you reminded you that this is college football doesn't really matter what your preview magazine says and by the way I've got I've got pick six previews right here in front of me thank you Brett doesn't matter even what that says uh it it matters that anything could happen in this sport especially early on so I got the thinking okay Florida State we've already seen them surely there'll be more upsets in week one surely there'll be a whole lot more chaos how chaotic could this season be see a lot of you start re me included not just a lot of you a lot of us watch that Florida State upset and it's not just Florida state gets beat it's Florida State got beat is that the last time they're going to lose this year Florida State got beat wow who's the favorite in the ACC now Florida State got beat by Georgia Tech how good could Georgia Tech be so there's this big ripple effect off of everything that happens in this sport some more chaotic than other and I'm asking myself what are the real chaos pivot Points this year what are the things that if they happened it would just blow the entire sport up and we'd be on the fast track to 2007 2.0 if you don't know look it up kids so I got to thinking and I've got some scenarios here but I'd love to hear from you guys as well uh there is this chance since we have the new expanded playoff and there's an auto bid for the G5 you know everyone's everyone's record and everyone when they project it me including I put Memphis in there I had Memphis going like 11-1 or something like that and I thought they'd get in over an undefeated Liberty but hey what if it doesn't happen like that what if the highest ranked G5 conference champ is ranked in the 20s but they get a spot just because some rule says they get a spot now that sounds crazy it's not crazy at all uh last year Liberty at the end of the year was the highest ranked G5 conference champ they were 23rd so if if nothing else besides last year gets copied and pasted here we're going to have a team ranked in the 20s put in the college football playoff just because someone said they deserve a shot to Lane the year before number 16 they're in so yeah there could be a situation where someone's ranked eighth and they get in and it makes perfect sense there could also be a situation where someone's ranked 24th and they get in and it's at that point you guys look around and realize oh that's what that means that's what the G5 Auto bid means so that's the that's the first thing at the end of the year that happen but I'm thinking like what if the ACC loses more week one games so Florida State lost to Georgia Tech but then we get into week one this coming week we'll predict these games Tuesday night Miami goes to Florida it's a really big game for the ACC uh Clemson plays Georgia what if the ACC goes 0 and2 there what if by the time the dust settles on week one Florida State Miami and Clemson all have losses now that doesn't derail your conference Championship hopes in fact these two Clemson and Miami don't even play conference games in week one but what we'd be talking about already before week two even gets here we'd be talking about how the ACC is only going to be able to get one team in the playoff and it's just I I rub my temples already thinking about how we're talking about the playoff and who how many conference Spots You're going to have um couldn't be me but it may be so that could happen but also hey hey in the meantime the conference race would be wide open you're looking at the odds to win this thing again this year Louisville Virginia Tech NC State SMU would be even more in the thick of it and that's before we know what Georgia Tech does Syracuse floating around out there with one of the most workable schedules this year that right there if we have Miami and or but especially if we have Miami and Clemson fall in week one and then Tennessee plays NC State the next week uh that could be really really bad really really quickly or it could be a huge huge like momentum shift for the ACC if they win them quarterback play in the Big 10 I'll tell you what would cause a true chaos situation what if the quarterbacks just aren't good in the Big 10 this year I'm talking about all of them I'm talking about what if Will Howard is average at best at Ohio State and we're all watching them play and it's one of the most talented teams we've ever seen except it's very obvious the relative weak link is quarterback and we're all waiting for the inevitability that they need to win a shootout in the playoffs and it's not there what if we have that what if Kade mamera is what most folks expect him to be and nothing more at Iowa what if Alex orgy is average and nothing more at Michigan Dylan Gabriel at Oregon Dylan Gabriel I have a hard time picturing him not having a good year but what if Dylan Gabriel's the kind of guy where you're watching him and Ohio State goes up there in week five or week six and that secondary just shuts him down and you figure well this is a guy who's going to rack up a lot of stats but is he really going to be there at the end of the day what if all that happens well a couple of things number one it would um it would probably put a a pretty low ceiling on the big 10's odds comp post season but number two I didn't mention USC for a reason Lincoln Riley is going to get good quarterback play always has always will so there is no world where to me Miller Moss is bad Miller Moss is well below expectations so they may not be able to stop molasses in December like that's what remains to be seen about USC but if the rest of the conference is down at the quarterback position and Lincoln Riley's USC is not then that's how USC is in the Big 10 Championship picture that's how USC could all of a sudden boom I mean like Tyler van djk is at Wisconsin what if will or what if Drew all does not take any kind of Next Step whatsoever at Penn State all of this is is for seeable like that could actually happen and the other one is Nebraska Nebraska what if what if Matt rule in the midst of a lot of mediocrity pulls a really good freshman year out of Dylan riola that is chaotic in the Big 10 what if we go to the SEC and we look at all these playoff odds and we look at the rankings and the JP poll included which is not a ranking and they're all these SEC teams up there what if none of these SEC teams are Elite that would be chaotic what if Georgia's really not all that much compared to Georgia teams in the past upfront what what if they get bitten by how inexperienced they are in their secondary what if that happens what if for example LSU really is not improved defensively uh what if Jaylen milro does not mesh with that kayin debor offense what if injuries test Alabama's depth early and it's just not there at especially in the secondary on defense a lot of a lot of wh ifs there that could actually happen you know Texas at running back what if that really is a terminal flaw a flaw in the overall balance and functionality of their offense well then you have a recipe for a couple of things happening you have the next tier of teams that could easily jump up in the mix you know like I didn't mentioned Tennessee there well if some of those teams are down and Tennessee just is what you expect them to be you know they pop against NC State early they all of a sudden inject themselves in the conversation Miami against Florida what if Florida ends up winning that thing no one's going to expect anything from Florida because of the schedule but Florida could at least be a nightmare for other teams to play what if Texas A&M beats Notre Dame by 13 in week one and all of a sudden everyone's saying Mike Elco a contender well that could happen the other thing is we're going to know pretty quickly you know you you were watching Florida State yesterday and it's a closer game than you expect and maybe you're sitting there live betting the game and you still you expect Florida State to pull away but it's just not happening and you're sitting there you're second guessing everything you thought you knew about about this team that early in the year well what if you're watching Bama versus Wisconsin in like week three and you're already questioning Alabama what if the week before Texas is at Michigan and Texas has got 12 points on the board late in the third quarter and they're just getting stoned what if Clemson is in a dog fight with Georgia in the fourth quarter and that one's really ugly and it's like 23 all then all of the sudden everyone is looking and saying well maybe there's not a big gap between any one of these teams in the rest of that field and that's how Missouri's shark fin just gets bigger and bigger offshore that's how old misss shark fin just gets bigger and bigger offshore Old Miss shark fin actually comes on land sometimes that would be chaotic in the SEC and then uh the the conference that is known for chaos the actual chaos path in the Big 12 would be what if there isn't a whole bunch of it what if instead of of the usual eight or nine Team Deep League of teams capable of winning it you're looking at the FanDuel Lodge right now we got to go all the way down to Texas Tech 2 four 6 eight we got nine teams with plus 1,800 odds are better to win the thing well what if Kansas State separates themselves Utah separates themselves and let's just pick one more TCU there's a world TCU is extremely underrated by the way I had talked about him all summer and I'm mad about it because we got him as a top 30 team in in the JP poll and I haven't spoken a word about him so there's a world where Kansas State Utah and TCU could all go 11-1 or 12-0 cuz they don't all play each other so what if that were to happen because that's not what anyone expects what we expect is a jumbled mess and an inferior conference and you get one team which is your conference champ in the playoff but what if that's not the case what if all of a sudden we look and we say no there's there's three teams actually and they keep winning every week you remember a couple of years ago for example you never would have thought a team could afford to lose the Big 12 championship game and still make it in the playoff but they did TCU did TCU didn't win the conference uh Kansas state did and then TCU still had a good enough resume where they get in so um what if this year you get down the line and you're thinking all of a sudden wow the Big 12 could have an at large bid here maybe the Big 12 gets a couple of teams in because instead of a convoluted MCH yes there was some separation which may not be great for entertainment sake but it's great for the conference's viability of getting more than one team in is the reputation already baked in a lot of folks have already convinced themselves the Big 12 is getting one team in well does the committee feel that way could there be chaos elsewhere that makes it even more obvious that we got some pretty clean resumes here in the Big 12 um and then there's this other nightmare scenario for everyone this isn't even chaos this is a nightmare to me because I'm a regular season guy guy over the playoff there is it's got to be like a a specific situation but there are some situations out there where some really uncomfortable conversations about load management happens late in the year and resting starters happens late in the year now I will admit to you number one I hate this conversation number two I think it's unlikely to happen number three it's not impossible let me paint you a couple of scenarios so let's say you have a team that begins and ends their season with non-conference games USC is a good example Clemson is a good example so USC and Clemson uh USC plays LSU week one Clemson plays Georgia week one they're both dogs in the game so they could both lose they could both be 0 and one but that's okay because it's not a conference game all right so then let's say USC and Clemson start off 0 And1 but they both go through their regular season they lose one more game it's a conference game they lose one more game but they're good enough to where they get to the end of the road they don't play conference games in the final week of the year so they know they've got a trip to the conference title game locked up all right and especially in Clemson's case let's say the accc's down this year so they go into the South Carolina game they're already a two- loss team and before they even go to South Carolina they know their only shot of making the playoff is is the next week winning the conference title game doesn't even matter because the only shot they have is the auto bid they would get from winning the conference otherwise they're not going to be in how do they handle the South Carolina game I know what you guys are thinking to yourselves up in South Carolina or over in South Carolina you're thinking this would never matter in a in a rivalry game like this the sanctity and integrity of that rivalry game is worth more than it is to me I agree with you is it worth more than that to head coaches is it worth more than that to people with incentives in their contract is it worth more to universities that know they stand to substantially financially gain from punching their ticket to the postseason winning a conference title Etc it is it is an outlier of a scenario but if you don't think that you could have a a what would it be a 9 and2 Clemson I'm using Clemson as an example 9 and2 Clemson and they're going into the South Carolina game and you already know regardless of the outcome of that game your postseason hopes are riding on the next week because you're already in a watered down ACC looking at a situation where only the conference Champ's going to get in there is no at llarge Hope for you you could you could beat Clem you could beat South Carolina into a coma if you go lose a third game even if it's your conference title game you're not going to get in how you handling your rotation there for the South Carolina game uh Utah Utah goes to UCF the last week of the regular season what if what if Utah already has a spot in the Big 12 championship game locked up and everyone's already come to realize the Big 12 is going to get one spot in the playoff it's going to be for the conference champ do they rest starters on the road even if it's conference game if they know they're already locked in it's irrelevant totally irrelevant so uh we're in a situation now where we get Auto bids and that's how we determined seeding and that's how we determined first round buys and doesn't matter if you got six losses somehow if you want a conference you get in that could create some really interesting and compromised positions for head coaches at the end of the road hope it doesn't happen could cause chaos though Academy Sports and Outdoors not known for chaos they are known for well everything else let me tell you what this company's done for me pretty much everything they bring the show to you free of charge however because of Academy Sports and Outdoors and standing in line there I was reminded that Big League 2 still exists I used to survive on that stuff I used to watch like Will Clark former Mississippi State Bulldog playing for San Francisco and he have that that huge Chew in the side of his mouth and I'd say Dad can I get some and say no you're six you can't have tobacco products and we we don't use it anyway kids but you can have big leag CH all right so I was six then well the thing about it is I never really grew out of wanting to have Big League Chew in my mouth but I grew out of knowing where to find it until I go to Academy Sports and Outdoors where you can find pretty much everything you need in life Sporting Goods outdoor camping equipment biking grilling but you can also find big leagu in the checkout line this story is going somewhere so this past week I'm scrolling through my DMs trying to reply to some of you guys guess who dm' me Big League Chew dm'd me and they asked my favorite flavor and I said yes and they said say no more we're sending you a whole bunch and I gave this company my home address without a second thought they could be Somalian hackers for all I know but they they hacked the right account because I will I will open my doors any day week for big leag CH which came because of Academy Sports and Outdoors so you guys are going back to school right now you guys are going back to sports right now most of you are going to a game this fall I know you're going to tailgate I know my audience the these folks are like tailgating headquarters everything that you could need even some stuff you don't know you need you got it at Academy I mean what is a Saturday morning on campus without looking across a sea of Academy chairs and and grills and Tents and Academy doesn't make their own Grill but they carry Pit Boss and Trager and charboy they carry all of them so we appreciate them all right let me put some chapstick on or some uh lip balm whatever that stuff's called it's about to get really serious here appreciate you guys watching I see a lot of people saying they don't have an academy in their backyard in the chat academy.com you don't have one in the DMV I know you guys got internet up in Maryland so check out academy.com thank you for your feed feedback so it's time to release the week one edition of the JP poll the JP poll is not actually a poll you guys are right I'm just not changing the name because the name JP pole is very catchy and it is a marketing slogan and if you don't like it I don't really care that's disrespectful I care but just not enough to change it the JP poll is a power rating no different than if we were an oddsmaker and we ran our sports book over here these would be the raw numbers we use to generate point spreads that's how Washington kept winning last year that how Washington beat Oregon last year but stayed beneath Oregon doesn't mean they're necessarily incapable of beating Oregon again in fact they did two times the Dirty Little Secret around Vegas is last year Washington would have been a dog a third time if they faced Oregon and if you disagree with these you you get to go bet on them that's fine but by and large a power rating model I have a lot more fun with than a ranking model because your wins and losses don't matter here necessarily you aren't what your record says you are necessarily it is about a little bit different way to view teams so I've got our own model here and it's got everything you could possibly have plugged into it uh these are preseason numbers so they are as Loose as we will have in the numerical format all year this stuff fluctuates a whole lot you got to be if you're going to be Resolute behind this stuff you've also going to be willing to Pivot on a dime so I'm about to show you because we got Florida State's new rating baked into this so I'll show you how far they fell so let's start off Jesse and let Colin let's roll through this let me give you a little idea of the gap between teams as as well I see the disclaimer on the screen I appreciate that number one through five is unchanged so Georgia Ohio State Oregon Texas and Alabama are the first five that's the same as it was a month ago now all I've done is I've talked to as many people as I can from Fall camps injuries have been baked in here Texas even with the running back injuries it wasn't enough to drop them below Alabama just to give you an idea of the Gap here we would have Georgia favored by about 6.75 points against Alabama right now so they're close to a touchdown Gap one through five now 6 through 10's where it gets interesting you would think Penn State being the number six team is really high I think it's a little high too not absurdly high but if I were to rank these teams I'd have a few of these teams ahead of Old Miss or ahead of Penn State but the model is like Skyhigh on Penn State Penn State's the new Texas apparently uh the model was high on Texas forever and now everyone's high on Texas so the model had to find a new pet project and apparently it's Penn State uh here's what's interesting there's not a whole lot of drop off between Bama and Penn State the drop off is between Penn State and Old Miss there's a two-point drop off between number six and number seven which just means on a neutral field the model would favor Penn State by two over Old Miss then all of you would proceed to go bet Old Miss plus two I know that uh this is what the model thinks and we all know I've I've always been right on this if anything was ever wrong it was the model's fault that it was wrong so old misses number seven Notre Dame is number eight virtually unchanged they dropped one spot they I think changed places with Old Miss Michigan I bumped them up to had them at 11 they're at nine now A&M bumped them up three or four spots I think something like that uh that was just due to Camp Intel didn't change him a lot I mean to get bumped up one or two spots you probably get bumped up a quarter of a point on your power rating so that's just a good oldfashioned camp Intel bump there number 11 through 15 what do we see here Camp Intel bump from Tennessee which is interesting because they had a big injury to their Nickel in Fall camp but in the aggregate heard enough things that Tennessee I think got a half a point bump not huge but it's enough to bump you up three spots Oklahoma's 12 Miami pretty good bump there uh better depth and versatility in the offensive Back Field than I thought they had uh Elijah a Royo really good player and so um I also think think that they got some they got some young DBS with with a fair amount of Hope there especially one corner so uh they're up five spots they're at number 13 Miami's at 13 LSU is at 14 LSU a little too much talk about turnovers with nus in Fall camp for me to just remain unchanged on them so they dropped four spots which means they dropped three quarters of a point not a huge deal Missouri's at 15 let's continue oh by the way by the way as Colin rolled the slide there just to finish on that Miami's 13 I'm going to show you in a second we've got Florida at 21 Miami goes to Florida which means we have to bake in HomeField the model has Miami minus one and a half Miami winning by one and a half this Saturday which is close to what the point spread is so in other words it would not be at all shocking and it would not invalidate anything in the model's eyes if Florida at home as the number 21 team beat Miami however I know what's coming if Florida wins that thing 24 to2 this Saturday I will get inundated with people who call Miami overrated and it was a farce and where's your JP poll now and don't worry we'll be right back here Sunday to defend ourselves as only we can but just just understand if that happened it's not too far out of line with what the model would expect with these teams rated where they are now number 16 through 20 Kansas State 16 same as they were Utah 17 as they were hearing some half decent things on USC some people and it's been hard to get out there for fall camp but there are some people who have been able to see some practices USC may be just a little bit better maybe just a hair better than the old model thought they were so we bumped them up two spots Clemson is the same there's Florida state Florida State plummeted Florida State fell all the way to 20th that was a three and 3/4 Point drop pretty substantial pretty substantial now there are some who will look at this and say why is Georgia Tech not ahead of Florida State well that's because Florida state would still be favored against Georgia Tech if they played tomorrow um by a pretty healthy amount by six or seven points probably so um th this is where you figure out whether this makes sense to you or not there is no oddsmaker in his right mind that would favor Georgia Tech on a neutral field against Florida State if they played tomorrow even though they just played on a neutral field and Georgia Tech won the football game which they fully deserve to and if I were ranking the teams I would have Georgia Tech ahead of Florida State but this is not a ranking it is everyone a power rating so that's the difference Josh what well what sense does it make to power rate if it doesn't make sense to you this is not the video for you it's it's very simple I like to do this because it's a different kind of exercise and it's a lot more datab based and not so emotion based that's why 21 through 25 Florida's number 21 unchanged Oklahoma State 22 Wisconsin 23 Iowa 24 dropped him down two spot simply because their projected starter at quarterback actually is starting for them which disheartens me a little bit and Iowa State's at 25 I just tweeted the JP poll out even though I'm live on air as we finish the segment just because I want to see my phone light up over here to my immediate left as The Show Goes On so there you go now my promise to you a lot of fluidity in these numbers so my promise to you there will be movement Georgia plays Clemson this Saturday Ohio State plays akan oh prayers for akan early running for Sarah mcglaughlin special akan getting 50 and a half against Ohio State Oregon plays uh I can't remember who Oregon plays Texas Bama so probably won't have any upsets in the top five unless Clemson pulls one off against Georgia and by the way man if that happened if Clemson were to beat Georgia again not biggest upset in the world just remember we did the most talented teams thing the other day Clemson at least if you believe the 247 Sports Talent composite fifth most talented roster in the country getting nearly two touchdowns against Georgia the number two most talented roster in the country let us move on let us move on oh by the way Colin did I show you this let's see how this Pops in here so the good thing about running your own store is you get the early prototypes uh I think that the patches on the hats look great so if you're listening on podcast oh it smells great too uh I think that we're about to reopen the P state store and these hats are sweet I think we're going to sell roughly 75 million of these so they're going to sell out whenever we put them up Pate material.com it's not open yet I'll let you know when it's opening but these these things right here I'd wear this now I'd wear this all kind of different colors talked to a certain outdoor camo company today about a partnership so yeah I list listen to your feedback and a lot of the products you have asked for and longed for will be in there big week coming up around here got I got a bigger announcement than that before the show goes off the air actually huge week around here anyway let's dive back in So reports today as we sit here on Sunday whatever this is the 25th of August reports Michigan receives NCAA notice of allegations well well well the NCAA can be sloppy about every other thing under the Sun but they will not be slopp about timing because friends this is also the week that the Connor stallions Netflix documentary drops they don't care about that I promise you these are the most fragile vain people on the face of the Earth the NCAA very much cares they probably got a countdown clock in their facility to the Connor stallions Netflix documentary I don't care if that thing has nothing in it or if it's loaded with Bombshells these people very much care so what's happening here well at nothing probably quickly because Michigan gets this thing and that's standard operating procedure if you've got a an NCAA investigation into you they wrap up the investigation then they send you a notice of allegations basically here's what we think you're guilty of you've got 90 days to respond most of the time that's just code for okay now the lawyers can go to work so uh the reports are that pretty much what Pete thill and Dan Murphy put out a couple of weeks ago is what is in this thing which is just brilliant because the word from the NCAA in their statement today was for the sanctity and respect for integrity of the investigation we're not releasing any details uh mainly because we already leaked them a few weeks ago very convenient anyway so the NCAA is not accidental about this timing I am in wait and see mode on this I've gotten some very fiery responses from you guys because I told you well me personally based on what I've heard so far I've heard definite evidence that Michigan had wrongdoing and they cheated I've told you that there's a certain threshold you know beyond which the allegations have to go for me to view their title is Tainted thus far it hasn't gone beyond that okay I had some really good emails sent to me a couple in particular you know who you are of people arguing the opposite of people arguing that well it all becomes relative once you allow for an ounce of it you you allow for an ocean of it because once you start down the slippery slope there 's no coming up and you're not wrong you're not in fact a lot of you made really really good points that I thought candid were better than mine having said that okay let's say you've got your opinion on this I've got mine my point has been I'm in waitand see mode on this I'm not team Michigan I'm not team anti- Michigan I'm looking at it I saw him win the title last year it's my personal feel that what I saw was pretty pretty legitimate and authentic uh you can disagree with that that's fine reasonable Minds can disagree but I'm in waight C mode because there is a world where some stuff comes out of this that you and I had never heard of before there is that world there's a world where the craziest most fanatical rumors that have ever seen the light of a message board actually come true there's another world where it's pretty procedural and the NCAA just wants Financial restitution um but there is a there's a third thing that I'm looking at here and I'm looking at that documentary coming out this week um couple of approaches all right let me get to the documentary in a second I wouldn't put it past the NCA to know the endgame here and the end game is we don't bring the hammer down on anyone even if we did they'd crush us in court because we stay getting crushed in court so we know this is going to end with them agreeing to a financial settlement with us and we're going to find them and Chiron Moore is going to sit out a meaningless game and that'll be it and we'll be able to say look we got one and michig will be able to say all so that's probably how they know this ends but if they know it ends that way and they know Michigan Chuckles walking out the door what you can do is you can punish them procedurally and what that means is if you know you're really not going to get the Maze and blue scalp on the wall that you want you can just drag them through all kinds of mud in the process for example you can leak reports ahead of a documentary or you can serve a notice of allegations checks watch the week of their first game to distract as much as you could possibly try and distract so you know you don't really have them at the end of the day you can just make their life as miserable as you can in the Aggregate and maybe that's a little bit of um maybe that's the pound of Flesh that you want to exact now as for this documentary a couple of you when this news came out today and I just all I tweeted out I think was nothing about this timing is coincidental couple of you said theaa don't care anything about that Connor stallions documentary yeah they do they care about it they care about it uh because they're probably a little more aware of some of the stuff that could be in it than the average Joe now this documentary could be a clown show could be an in fact I expect elements of it to be a clown show it is not it's not going to be the most hard-hitting piece of Netflix journalism that you've ever been slapped in the face with uh so what I expect this week when I watch that thing is I expect to laugh a lot I expect to say what in the world is this dude doing on camera a lot but I also expect to say hold on rewind that hold hold on he's got what they got what now that's the kind of documentary you're probably in for not the most revealing piece of content that you've ever seen in your life however uh normally I would understand you guys when you'd be saying well the NCAA doesn't care what's in this documentary well they care about what's in the documentary if they're in the documentary and I think they may be in the documentary is all I'm saying so HST amongst us knows what any of that means but uh I don't think this timing is a coincidence so another one of you asked me today hey are they going to drop the hammer on Michigan or what no no dropping the hammer is is very much a bygone metaphor for what the NCAA used to do punitively to programs the conference is not going to allow that the networks are not going to allow that at this point some of my Michigan viewers are saying are you kidding me the conference didn't stand up for us at all during this investigation well that's because you as an asset really weren't hurt last time I checked Michigan ran the table and won the national title last year viewership was through the roof you as an asset were not hurt last year if they were to strip you of scholarships if they were to try to impose a bowl ban on you and all that sort of thing and a a postseason ban will that hurt you as an asset all of a sudden Michigan football in my content portfolio is not worth what they used to be worth that's not an option NCAA doesn't run this sport networks do and so if a network or conglomeration of them in the big 10's case look and say hold on these folks in Indianapolis think they're about to do what that's not happening whatever backro dealings and phone calls need to be made will be made that's not going to be allowed to happen so it is very very very likely that dropping the hammer incaa style in 2024 just means we're going to hit you financially you know the the other the other member institutions are no friends of Michigan right now make no mistake about it they they they're no friends of them but they know that in a roundabout way Michigan's worth is tied into their worth so they're not going to allow them to be damaged as an asset what they would allow is they would allow them to be hit individually financially which is probably the end game here so my followup as it relates to this season on the field is is the NCAA about to do the same thing again are they about to arm Michigan again CU last year that team in that program bottled that whole deal up about as well as anyone could in an us against the world moment and uh they won versus The World by the way are they doing that again this year will it even matter does that stuff even matter do we make too much of that they've play Fresno State this Saturday in the big house they play Texas two weeks from now in the big house that'd be a pretty good game to go to imagine being there they're watching us in Lawrence Kansas aworth Georgia van bu Arkansas and Trinidad Colorado thank you guys so much question question for the room here got a lot of you watching live do me one favor as you're watching live I know a lot of you have come back to college football welcome back happy to have you do me a favor and check and make sure you're subscribed to the channel and the podcast some of you think you are but check anyway because it's at this moment you realized oh wait I'm not subscribed do me a favor it cost you nothing it does nothing there's no no string attach it's a favor to us subscribe to the channel or the podcast and that's it that's my request okay John hit me up from Glendale Arizona he said could you rank the top quarterbacks this season yeah I could I think Carson Beck's the best quarterback in the country to come into this season 72.4% completion guy last year 281 passing yards per game 24 to6 touchdown to interception does all that carry over sometimes it doesn't I think it will he was in a top five scoring off offense last year don't have any reason to believe that would drop off he is an nil gift Carson Beck is not playing college football this year if it were 2014 instead of 2024 nil has made it possible for a lot of these late first early second round type talents to come back instead of testing the waters so it's not all the Devil he's got an elite offensive line good pass catchers here tight end even without Brock Bowers one of the best tight end rooms in the country again I just think sometimes we need to pause and understand we just said we watched a truly a generational tight end Talent overused word but not in Brock Bower's case we watch him go to the NFL and the room he vacated is still one of the top tight end rooms in the country wow Dylan Gabriel I struggled with where to place him here he couldn't ask for more man from a surroundings standpoint will Stein is one of the hottest Rising offense coordinators in the country he will probably have the best onew receiver combo to deal with he's got an all conference tight end to throw the ball to he was top 10 last year at Oklahoma in completion percentage uh pass yards per game pass touchdowns the NFL guys I I talked to a number of NFL scouting types to get their read on college players Dylan Gabriel does not project to some Superstar at the NFL level he is a star at the college football level uh probably like lower tier arm strength size Etc it's it's not like he's Cam Newton 2.0 or anything like that but at the college level the guy can win a National Championship I look so forward to seeing him and there were only a couple of these tests coming per year but like against Ohio State secondary of of having to thread it and having to zip it in a window that's a lot tighter um all due respect than the ones he had to fit it in in the Big 12 look forward to that but he's up there cam Ward at Miami is up there now the difference with Cam Ward is last year he's fourth in pass yards per game he's number one I think Jesse amongst quarterbacks who returned 25 to7 touchdown to int ratio last year that was up at Washington State so he comes down to Miami maybe he'll hit the ground running my feel around Miami and like cam the offense is I actually expect a little bit of clunkiness in the early part of the Season just sort of working Kinks here and there out I think event maybe week one maybe week five he is right up here with the best quarterbacks in the country and their offense is up there with one of the best offenses in the country it'll be very balanced they've got really good talent and versatility in their running back room but also I mean again Elijah aroyo tight in waited for him last year got hurt in the preseason uh he is not hurt now and so I look for him to be one of the best weapons along with you know Restrepo the brown kid they got from Houston a lot of good players there Jackson Dart where would you put Jackson Dart because I came to this part Jackson Dart Quinn ERS you know which one goes goes where Jackson Dart is the by far the best dual threat on this list 23 to five touchdown to int last year through the air but he also ran for eight touchdowns and he's got just weapon after weapon out wide he is the unquestioned leader I think of that offense they have got I think in ulysis Bentley an elite running back Talent so it's not on his shoulders he's a guy who could take it on his shoulders but the entire weight of the load is not on his shoulders uh Quinn yers I just mentioned him at Texas this is the guy who has the biggest year on his hands because I've seen it from some of these other guys I've seen it I have not seen Quinn y's top end game I don't think I have if I have then we've overrated him a little bit he was top 12 last year in completion percentage and passing yards per game um top 12 okay that's great but we're we're trying to talk top five or top six here is he that is he that he's got the same system for a third year in a row same program same coordinator so the consistency is around him it's a familiar environment they did as good a job as they possibly could losing those pass catchers to go backfill um he's got it to do he's workable schedule he's got it to do still some work to be done to be a top five in the country and then there's just the other list of guys like milro could be in here shador I mean shador you know I looked at this and if I put shador Sanders on any of these teams shador Sanders is a lock to be a top five quarterback so it wasn't strictly like a power rating system of quarterbacks I did take that into account but I also took your surroundings into account and who knows man maybe shid will be that regardless but Brady cook at Missouri Drew Aller at Penn State cam Rising back for his 19 season at Utah faf out at Arizona wouldn't be surprised at all to see him pop up there Garrett nus I know I said that maybe turnovers have been a bit of an issue in Fall Camp that's fall Camp man you work that out maybe he just comes out and throws for four touchdowns against USC and Garrett nusers immediately in the conversation all that could happen all that could happen um big moment in the show here so f a couple of things I need to tell you the first thing I need to tell you col let me make sure I'm where I need to be yes I am so the first thing I need to tell you is I'm about to give you the first two picks on the ramen noodle Express this year which means I need to explain to a lot of you who are new around here what the ramen noodle Express is way back in the day I'll explain more about this on Tuesday because on Tuesday night I'm going to do an entire explainer on all the inside jokes and nomenclature of the show everything that's on the show that makes no sense to you I'll do it all at the end of Tuesday night show I'll just explain it all in the meantime uh the ramen Express because of times that were more impoverished for me down in Columbus Georgia is the name of our segment for the games that we move on and we bet every week and I it could come at any time it is imperative that you're following on social at Lake kick Josh because during the week normally I'll just tweet these out at random because I'm looking at the lines over at FanDuel and when they move where we want them we move it's not always when I'm live on air in fact most times it's not when I'm live on air so at Lake kick Josh make sure you're following but since we're back to college football and since it's Sunday night and we got the week one lines pretty well hammered out to where they're going to be I figured we'd go ahead and move on a couple of these first pick of the year who do you think is going to be there's a drum roll for you who you think it's going to be gonna be Bama is it gonna be USC is going to be Kentucky no it's going to be Kent State plus 24 and a half against pit in week one that line is available boom I'm looking at it right now at FanDuel Kent State plus 24 and a half next up on the ramen noodle Express powered by FanDuel everybody seems to be warning Colorado about this week one game against North Dakota State this is a time in history where you have to sort of kind of lay a little bit of a premium to bet Colorado actually I'm doing that in week one I think Colorado is going to beat North Dakota state by double digits so I'm laying nine and a half with the Buffs that line has come down and I think it probably is on its way back up we're comfortable with the line where it is so Colorado minus 9 9 and a half Kent State plus 24 A2 those are the early Best Bets on the ramen noodle Express this week do not bet money you don't have on this um don't be parlaying these that's my advice FanDuel would be happy to take your parlay action my advice is these are not meant to be parlayed also um don't be um don't be looking at these and thinking well okay I'm going to pick out the ones that I agree with him on but I'm not going to bet the ones I don't agree on my advice is BET them all or don't bet any of them if you're going to just cherry pick you might as well bet the games that your gut tells you to bet so that's all that's always it seems to be a winning strategy I know I used to do it I used to subscribe to the T sheets when I was in high school and say now wait a second if I bet what that guy tells me to but I only filter it through what I agree with I'll I'll hit 60% no problem no you won't you'll hit the exact percentage you always would have hit so right now at FanDuel and I want you to listen up I want you to listen up if you can't afford to bet this stuff don't even be going to sign up but if you want to have some fun and you can afford to responsibly this fall you can go over there and sign up right now couple of things new signups right now you bet $5 it doesn't matter if the BET wins or loses they're going to put another 200 in your account welcome

show and we appreciate them so much uh last question and then I got to get out of here because I have other chores to tend to tonight Colin you got that herb Street question very rare that we do a segment like this Mike hit me up and said hey lol how awesome was it hearing NL fans boo Herby every time he spoke on game day not all that awesome I guess was the the kind of secret that no one wanted to tell you guys yesterday it sounded kind of lame I'm all for you doing it that's fine with me I've I've always loved the will muschamp quote I'd much rather have to tell a horse whoa boy than have to constantly tell a horse gidy up he was talking about football players I feel the same way about fan bases so if the worst thing a fan base does is act overly passionate and enraged because they perceive a wrongdoing fine by me I had it directed at me not to the degree herb Street did I mean there are people who paint herbstreet as like the face of the deep state of college football now shockingly he is not but I know a lot of you believe that and you you couldn't be told otherwise we experienced it though remember because I did my little flip-flop on Florida State last year and I at one time said no matter if Jordan Travis is hurt or if he's playing if Florida State's undefeated they belong in the playoff but then at the end of the day I said I thought Alabama should have gotten in so that sounded hypocritical that sounded like a flip-flop so then everyone came after me as well and um let me let you guys in on a little something I know a lot of you orchestrated going and down voting the videos and the podcast that actually helped us so I would appreciate you to continue doing that my advice if you're trying to hurt us is probably find another way um just just a little friend piece of advice that actually helped us that actually boosted us a lot I don't know how but it did so there was really no reasoning like it didn't matter at that point for me to explain myself there was no reasoning but the tradeoff for people being passionate is sometimes this stuff happens so if herb Street gets booed on game day he's an adult he can take it he can get on his private jet and fly home I mean what a life to live right so I did see him fire a tweet off probably somewhere over the Atlantic and it was it was it takes a big man to tweet that he didn't he didn't address it he didn't address the booing he just said a tough loss for the Noles and I looked at it and I smiled and I said I know what he's doing I know what he was doing but here's the thing about it I used to traffic in this stuff real talk I grew up in Atlanta Braves fam and I used to swear to you that ESPN was out to get the Braves you could never tell me otherwise and I would cherry-pick where they got placed they're in the C block of sports center whereas the Mets are in the B Block even though the Mets are 15 games out of first place and the Braves are right in thick of it I had no shortage of evidence just like you guys have no shortage of evidence that there is a grand media conspiracy and was last year around FSU uh I got inside the media business here's what changed my opinion of it number one I kind of saw behind the scenes and I realized yeah most of that stuff's fake and then the other thing is I got accused of a lot of it and I know me if nothing else I know me I know how I feel about Florida State I know uh you know how I feel about any given matter in this Sport and so I like I get accused of I get accused of homerism all the time being a hater sometimes of the same teams but I remember having a conversation with Jesse and management and I actually said you know what's dawned on me these people are accusing me of the same stuff I used to accuse like ESPN of and I know I'm not guilty of it I laugh at most of it so I'm sitting here knowing me and then I started asking wait a second was I wrong about that stuff all those years and then furthermore are are most of these Grand media conspiracies just that grand media conspiracies so let me go back just a second um to to flip it back to Herb Street y'all can boo herb Street all you want to all he did was sit on TV and give you his opinion mroy did the same thing you came after him I did the same thing you came after me how many of you went after Bill Hancock I'm not suggesting any of you go after anyone by the way let me state that very clearly for the record Mean Tweets should be the extent of you going after anyone here's where I flip-flopped for a little refresher course you want to know why I sounded like a hypocrite you want to know why I flip-flopped it's because for this entire process I was of the opinion I was under the notion even that we were taking the most deserving teams in the playoff I just thought that was the language I thought that was what they always had done let me take you back to November 28th the week of rivalry week last year Bill Hancock on his way out the door I believe the chair of the playoff committee said quote most deserving is not in our lexicon we're taking the best teams he didn't have to say that he voluntarily said that so then I listened and I thought well if that's your criteria that's totally different if we're taking the best teams I think bam would beat Florida State at the end of the day when I compare their resumes and I think they're the better team all of a sudden I didn't change status quo herb Street didn't change status quo maroy didn't change status quo they looked at the guy with the playoff sticker on his lapel and listen to what he said at least this is what I did and I said whoa that's a game changer we did two segments on it on the show I said Bill Hancock said what now at the 11th hour he said what so I got to the end of the finish I got to the finish line and I said I think a couple of things I think they got the right four teams based on their state criteria and I think they screwed Florida state which was perceived by some to be fence riding no it wasn't I'm telling you based on my understanding of the thing from the whole time that Florida State should have gotten in they changed the language at the 11th hour and all of a sudden they say it's not about deserving which I thought it had always been about no so so they changed the score So based on that yeah I thought Bama should have been in but that was like five minutes old cuz I'd never heard anyone talk like that before so yeah congrats you boo herb Street and and um then you got beat as a double digit favorite so he still looks the same today you don't I'm not sure who we declare the winner there how about this you have just watched the last episode ever of Lake kick live do you realize that no you don't because I have not told you this we're not going anywhere we'll be fine we'll be here Tuesday night same as always but I'm kind of tired of the name Lake kick and honestly for those of you who forget the title of the show you probably go on Google and search Josh Pat's College football show anyway so we're just going to change the name of the show to Josh Pat's college football show you should also know that I wrapped up negotiation with CBS last week and we've entered into a new deal with them that deal has seen us take complete ownership of this channel take complete ownership of our podcast feed that's ours now that's ours we own it we're changing the name of it to what it is which is Josh P's college football show I know that just indicates my name it's ours we own it I just had for SEO purposes to put my name in there so here's what's up uh Tuesday night we're predicting all the games that's what we do every Tuesday night Thursday night I hate to tell you this this far ahead of time but yet cold cuts will be back on Thursday night I'm gonna bring CU in but instead of just pandering and asking him questions we're just going straight to the live chat it'll be like the last part of the Thursday show I've got uh probably a couple of more announcements to give you this week so we got a a lot changing around here but yet the thing that's going to remain the same is the show we're going to remain the exact same there so I got to go because we have got another commitment tonight I appreciate you guys so much last Edition pop the champagne for late kick live it lasted four years Josh Pat's college football show live Comes Your Way Tuesday night until then for direct Colin for producer Jesse thank you guys so much take care and God bless for
