They made a brand new intro, but they left Duke's football stadium in it. Go Duke! Go Duke! Nothing gets past production. Happy Thursday, everybody. Welcome to the Locked On Big 12 Squad. I'm Drake Toll, alongside a bunch of cronies who know minimal about sports, but at least they are entertaining.

Thanks for making our shows your first listen every single day. Grab a beverage or something, something. I have a reader that I'm supposed to give you, but I don't know what it says. Today's show is brought to you by GameTime. GameTime is where you go when you need the best prices on any ticket guaranteed. Cody Stovall with Oklahoma State. JT Wistersell, who forgot his name card so no one would know. Kevin Borbaugh of Locked on Buffs.

Derek Johnson of Locked on Jayhawks. They have basketball. Nick Marv, who hosts Locked on Cyclones, brand new to the company. Richie Bradshaw, Locked On Sun Devils. And Chris Lovell, who's got some real sensual. This is interesting. Chris, are you laying in bed? Seduction level edition.

I dig it. Yeah, Chris, you got to unmute yourself, Mr you unmute yourself, Mr. Sexy Pin? Grandpa. Be nice. Be nice. I'm in a chair. I'm scrambling. You know, a lot going on. But, yeah, I'm here, gentlemen.

Don't ask to be nice. You guys haven't been nice to me all season. Chris had hemorrhoid surgery, so he can't get across the house to his computer. He's just got to sit. Untrue. Untrue. He's got to sit real tight. Speaking of people who are sitting,

we're sitting pretty with Arizona State and Iowa State in the Big 12 Championship. Let's go to the man who's got the biggest opinion on it. That is preseason number one, JT Wistersell. JT, wow. Man, your thoughts first, because go back to the first squad show to today. Much has changed.

Oh, my gosh. Much has changed. I mean, but this is why we love college football, right? Unpredictable. That's what makes this sport so special. And these two teams went out, and they earned it on the field. And, yes, they're weird tiebreakers and stuff and all that we can get into. But, I mean, Kenny Dillingham's done a heck of a job.

We obviously know Iowa State's one of the best programs year in and year out in the Big 12. I'm excited for this matchup. And, of course, would I have loved for it to be Utah. But Utah didn't deserve to be there despite all the preseason expectations. So I love that the Big 12 is unpredictable. And I'm excited to see what the Big 12 is going to deliver because I think despite what a lot of national media members think,

I think whatever Big 12 team gets in can make noise in this playoff. That's the nicest thing he's ever said about us. Stay with your chest, J2. one that was awesome uh kevin borba three weeks ago you are guaranteed a spot in this conference title game and now you are playing in the cheesed ball pop tart bowl uh what is the vibe around boulder colorado now that you are home for the next couple weeks well first of all you can't count on parker and his houston cougars ever apparently What is the vibe around Boulder, Colorado now that you are home for the next couple of weeks? Well, first of all, you can't count on Parker and his Houston Cougars ever. Apparently, we just needed them to win one game. They couldn't do it.

Just like he can't show up Tuesday nights. And here we are. Realistically, the vibe is still good. All right. I'll admit it. I had to bring another food take to the table. What does he mean? Another food take? When was his first food take? I love it. I had to bring another food take to the table. What does he mean another food take?

When was his first food take? I love it. Right on cue. We'll get back to that later. Borba, continue. Yeah, no, I hate to follow that up, but Colorado just last year was 4-8. The year before, they were 1-11.

It's been a hot minute since they've experienced any sort of success, and they promised Peggy they'd take her to a bowl game, and even though it's not a playoff game um Miss Peggy who's 100 years old will be getting to go to a bowl game so I still think it's a really uh great step in the right direction for the program and I think they're going to build off of it and sort of um take this momentum into the offseason touching moment uh JT your microphone's causing a white noise sound I'm going to mute you raise your hand if you'd like to speak. We should have done that from show number one, and that would have made this show go a lot smoother. But not as much fun.

Right. Let's go to you, Richie Bradshaw. You're in the Big 12 Championship this week. Yeah. So this is obviously really exciting for the team that was picked to finish last, and there shouldn't be any ASU fans who saw this much coming. I said 7-5 in the offseason. I said I thought I was being optimistic.

No one saw this coming. This has been an awesome run. I don't think it stops. I will tell you no, Jordan Tyson this weekend is very concerning. But as long as you have Cam Scadaboo, the people's running back, you have a chance in most games. So we'll wait and see. The way that ASU is playing right now,

there's not very many teams that should look at ASU and go, yeah, that's an easy win. To back up the Big 12, though, with Iowa State at 16, I love that the playoff committee is doing just enough so that they can get us in the top 12. But there should be no teams in the playoff that should overlook ASU or Iowa State, who's another football program. We're in for a really good championship game this weekend. I'm excited for it. This is going to be fun. I don't know how much we're going to throw it, but we're going to run it a lot.

Nick, tell him you're going to stomp on his throat. That was way too kind. You're in the Big 12 championship. That was so nice. For what? I'm over here. I'm about ready to throw a chair over. We'll save that for our crossover episode this week.

The old Kyle Whittingham, huh? There you go, Nick. From the top rope. No, Iowa State, I mean, yeah, it's kind of the same boat realistically. Nobody expected much from them. And starting season 7-0, all of a sudden it was just national title or bust, which kind of came out of nowhere. I don't know why we did that.

And then we dropped two. So got our fastball back. Here we are. Conference championship game. Couldn't be more excited either. I think I bring a little bit more animosity to the table. I'm not exactly friendly with Arizona State right now. I got time.

Yeah, that's good. Chris Level, two coordinators must be replaced hey hey my my guys beat both of those teams man yeah where are you i'm sitting in my chair yes he is with very good lighting yeah that's right hey all kidding aside kidding aside, this is not a title game that anybody predicted. This is the beauty of this league. I know this league gets crapped on nationally. It frustrates me greatly. Somebody can get into this thing and make some noise.

I do, after seeing both of these teams up close and personal, I do worry a lot about the Jordan Tyson, him being, you know, not available. And Sam Leavitt's going to have to, you know, you mentioned, Richie, about, you know, running the ball a lot. At some point, Sam Leavitt's going to have to help them win that game. There's just no doubt about it. And I think he can, but, boy, I would say it's going to be tough to beat. And I think that it'll be kind of a road game for the Sun Devils there in Arlington.

Boy, hide the, what is it, bush light? Nick, is that what they suck up there in AIM? We're going to drink Arlington dry bush light, that's for sure. Okay, yeah, there you go. And we'll drink whatever you put in front of us. Oh, no. This is going to be, like, some years it's Baylor in the Big 12 championship, but there's no alcohol sales.

And then there's this, which is going to be something. Derek Johnson, you're the reason we're all here. I was just here to listen. I was just here to listen. I didn't think we needed anything. We can talk basketball later. But you are the reason that Colorado and BYU are at home and you couldn't even make a bowl game.

How does it feel to have wreaked complete havoc on the most chaotic league in college football? I mean, it feels better than like, you know, five years ago where every year it was two and 10, three and nine. At least there's something, at least there's an identity now. Obviously, if this is just going to come down to which school beat Kansas then Arizona State congrats on the Big 12 championship so that honestly might be my biggest worry for Iowa State in this one it has to be you look at

the Kansas game you know they were able to move the ball they were able to run the ball weirdly enough why is Iowa State who has had this great defense for so long how would they give it up five yards per carry how are they 15th of 16 teams in yards allowed per carry in the big 12 how long are they going to stop cam scataboo uh yeah it's it's i guess been fun playing spoiler not fun missing a bowl game yeah sorry derrick um you're telling me three and nine can't be an identity rude they're so cool cody who'd you fire this week? Why do you have to do that? Yep, there it is. What's the definition of insanity, Cody?

What's the definition? Don't you have like an ad or something to do? Coming up, the locked on. We should never have a locked on college football playoff committee, ever. And if we did, they would sell their soul to the SEC, and it would be the worst show in human existence. But everyone would watch it for some stupid reason. Coming up, let's talk the college football playoff. This is the Locked on Big 12 Squad.

Fanduel, an official sportsbook partner of the NFL. The college football playoff committee is blank. Gentlemen, take it away. How do you say poop in Spanish? Defecado. Defecado.

How do you say the S word in Spanish? I couldn't have said it better, Drake. I couldn't have said it better. It needs to be replaced, though. Can we just be honest? Bring back the computer. Just keep the same format where the conference champions are still valued in all this stuff but having a subjective group of people every year tell certain things matter one week but then one week the next week it really doesn't and no consistency similarly there's always these same brands or schools where it's like well but it's insert blank. And so just get rid of all that, right? It's too subjective.

I think realistically we're taking away from what the great value is of the sport. And I think we're kind of diminishing the playoff and making it insufferable when it really shouldn't be. It should be a celebration of the sport, of the expansion, of more teams getting in. And it's now just turned into an SEC Big Ten you-know-what fest. Let me ask you guys this. That was floated last summer, and I think they floated to see what everybody's reaction was going to be. And I think a lot of people liked it.

Some didn't like it. But as you sit here right now, if I tell you the Big Ten and the SEC get four bids each, but the Big 12 gets two automatic every year, are you taking it or no? No, because you're still bending and the sec get four bids each but the big 12 gets two automatic every year you taking it or no no no because you're still bending to the will of the sec and the big 10 we we already have this complaint that that's the whole bias that the playoff committee has is we do whatever we can to get the sec in there that's three-loss Bama team is number 11 now, guaranteeing that they get into the playoff

no matter what happens, because we have to have Bama in there. There's Ole Miss that's right there. There's South Carolina that's right there. They're counting on these other teams to lose so that they can make sure that they get included. So allowing automatic bids for conferences, I think that that's just the worst way you can go about

it. Unless you want to make it 16. Like if you want to make it bigger, sure. You can have the automatic bids, but it's already such a flawed system. If for no other reason than this, this committee has their own agenda to it. It's not about the best teams and it's not about the consistency of stuff. Take ASU and Iowa state. An example, they the best teams and it's not about the consistency of stuff. Take ASU and Iowa State an example. They're both 10 and two football teams. Why are they behind the nine and three SEC teams? Well, they play better competition. Okay, that's fine. Why is 11 and one Boise State ahead of them? Well, they have a better record. Well, that doesn't make any sense. You need to have some kind of consistency with whatever you're saying. SMU's only loss this year was, was it BYU or K-State? BYU.

BYU. So there you go. A Big 12 team beat a team that were championing around. And SMU is a very good football team. It's not SMU slander. It's just the inconsistencies continue to pile up. And a league like the Big 12 that continues to be discounted. I left the Pac-12 hoping that it was going to be better and it almost feels like it's gotten worse. It's just

frustrating to consistently be in a situation where you're just going to be overlooked and disapproved of and disrespected. So having the automatic bids, having four bids for the SEC, four bids for the Big Ten, I don't think that solves anything. I think it just pushes their narratives even more to have the teams that they want to be in the playoff every single year. Guys, I get the frustration. Really quick, Drake. Guys, I get the frustration, but I think what's hard is all these teams

are flawed in one way or another. Even in Arizona State, which I like, right? You have two wins versus bowl-eligible teams. You have eight wins versus teams that aren't going to a bowl game. But I think what's hard is all these teams are flawed in one way or another. Even in Arizona State, which I like, right? You have two wins versus bowl-eligible teams. You have eight wins versus teams that aren't going to a bowl game. Alabama, I hate the Oklahoma loss. But at the same time, Alabama still has wins. And I don't like being the guy that argued for the SEC.

But South Carolina, the Georgia win, like Alabama has these good wins. So I can understand why you have a three-loss team versus a two-loss Big 12 team. A two-loss Big 12 team that – and the nice thing, Arizona State, is what can they do? Get a win versus Iowa State to improve their resume. And I think they do need that. And barely make the playoff. You're rewarding a team that's not even going to play this weekend. Say what again?

You're rewarding a team that's not even going to play this weekend. You're guaranteeing Alabama. You're 9-3. They're not playing for an SEC championship. You've guaranteed they're going to the playoff, whereas ASU and Iowa State, who are both 10-win football programs, well, no matter what, one of you has to miss it. And that's insane to me because you're going to guarantee

that the SEC's runner-up is making it and the Big Ten's runner-up is making it. There's a really good chance the ACC's runner-up is making it and the Big Ten's runner-up is making it there's a really good chance the ACC's runner-up is going to make it at a minimum somehow Miami's going in as potentially the third place team in the ACC so yeah and they're gonna borrow everything you're saying I think they're gonna keep if SMU loses the committee has made it clear that they're not going to dock you for losing your conference title they They're lying. They will do it for the Big 12. They're going to take SMU out and heavily consider putting Clemson in

over SMU, who's lost to – that's one of the reasons BYU is being kept so low. How much more can we make optically SMU not look as good? It is less so to me a conference conversation as much as it is a brand conversation. That logo. Indiana is an example to me. If they lost the Big Ten championship game, there would be moves made to try to keep them out of that 12-team playoff because that's the nature of the committee.

They want Ohio State. They want Oregon. They want Michigan, Alabama. And for the Big 12, you have to create that. That's the one area where I'm like, you know what? Shoot. Maybe they're right. We don't have an Alabama.

And so this is where I always go with this. Oh, baby! Come on! This is where I always go with this. Fifteen years ago, Clemson made less in revenue for football than Bowling Green. They sucked. Nobody played for Clemson that was good.

They couldn't win a football game. They were terrible. Fifteen years later, a committee will bend over backwards to put them in. What differentiated Texas Tech from Clemson 15 years ago? Nothing. Oklahoma State, nothing. Colorado, nothing. So we build, then, a Clemson. One team that has national success, and that's all it takes.

I volunteer. Look at it, Borba. I know we both have lots to say. He's got you. Don't worry. Yeah, I think, honestly, there's just a lot of things wrong with the playoff committee, the playoff format. We could dive into so many things. You want BCS.

I just think the computer is a less subjective way. We know what the data points are. We know what it values, and we could still keep the same energy of we're valuing conference champions. It could still keep the same energy of like we're valuing conference champions right it could still be the five top conference champions it's just all these schools in between where it's like this school beat this many teams when they were ranked but this school has a somehow a stronger strength of record or whatever like there's just so much going on and i think it's just too inconsistent like i think every week what's his name ward manual when he goes on there reese davis is literally like cooking him with questions and

it looks like he's like uh i don't know well we kind of just did this this week yes i don't get how is mac rhodes in this room how is the baylor athletic director in this room how are their former arizona state players in this room and they're not just usually they're asked to leave the room when their team is discussed and brought up. I can say that with what Mike – Conferences in general, right? I'm saying like conferences, not even teams. Like Baylor's not under consideration. But how does a Mack Rhodes not stand up and go, hey,

what's happening right now is for the benefit of money being in the pockets of a major – Like the Michigan athletic director makes even more money, the more Big Ten teams are put into the college football playoff. Yes, but – That's actually how it goes. No, you guys are right so but this is what i'll say i want to compare to the men's basketball committee because that's what my dad is a member of so i have experience with this so for example bubba cunningham is going to be the head of that this year that's the athletic director of north carolina when north carolina is brought up he's forced to

leave the room so i do think that's what's important to keep in mind here too is they're keeping what about what about if clemson is brought up in the basketball conversation? Does Bubba Cunningham stay in the room? I will double check on that and get back to Steve. I get what you're saying in terms of the conference bias like that, but I just do know for a fact that there are other members to keep these things in mind and in track too as they try to account for those biases and things of that nature.

And I'm sure the football one works in a similar manner. So to Borba's point about the computers, I think one of my biggest frustrations is you see like, oh, this team is X against the top 25 when it's like, well, why does win against number 24 matter that much more against than team who was number 26, who was the first team out? And so you have like Missouri, for instance, who's just there for fodder of Alabama to have another ranked win,

whereas some of these other ones like Syracuse isn't ranked, so it looks worse for Miami. So I think that's the biggest thing that I would look to the computer, what Borba's saying, because that would value those sort of things a little bit better in an equal sense. And in 2005, I think Miami is squarely, because it matters where your brand is at the time of the ranking. In 2005, Miami's number nine in the country right now they're in a spot like uh like in Alabama is because their brand was so powerful they lost that I think you can be gained or lost in Sweden in in college we've talked so much college football today I have chills coming up let's wrap up the college football playoff conversation and Parker Ainsworth joins the show sadly this is

the locked on big 12 squad all right with the college ball playoff talk as heated as it can be joins the show, sadly. This is the Locked On Big 12 Squad. All right, with the college football playoff talk as heated as it can be, computer, no computer, I think we can all agree that anything would be better than this. All right, I'll admit it. I had to bring another food take to the table. Parker Andrews, host of Locked On Cougar, bringing this each and every week when I can't be there in person. But I want to ask, because I mentioned a handful of y'all's responses,

how long do you keep the leftovers in the fridge for after Thanksgiving? And how long is too long? Now, this is going live about a week after Thanksgiving. Things are getting a little ripe. Things might be kind of done. But also there's the freezer. Tell me what you think.

How long do things stay in your fridge after Thanksgiving? Where's the stay in the fan shout-out? Yeah, doing a little teaching and coaching, too. We have completely wrecked. Five hours. Yeah. And he's holding the phone.

Former sponsor of Locked On. He's just holding on to that one. I want to know, what is it? All right. I had to bring in that butterfly thing. left of the screen here. That butterfly thing? What is that? It's the replacement for Twitter, if I'm not mistaken. What?

Really? He's got some butterfly logo on there? Right? The BF. All right. I'll admit it. I had to bring another blue tag to the table. Painsworth 512bsky.com.

Oh, that's that blue thingy. Blue sky, right? That's that thing. Twitter's replacement. Excellent. Mike Gundy wore the shirt for people. Wasn't that BlueSky? It was like OAN or something.

I'm going to put my threads handle in my movie board. I know not what you guys speak of, but I will circle back around the playoff conversation. I think one of the things that- Cody, keep us on track, my man. Yes. I will circle back around the playoff conversation. I think one of the things that- Cody, keep us on track, my man. Yes. Look at me go. Chris Level, you should be proud.

Guys, my biggest fear behind all of this is it adds more validity to us potentially possibly getting to the super conference type of thing where you're not talking about the Big 12 or the ACC, right? There's been several people mentioned theoretically getting to like a top 40, top 50 teams in the country, being in a super league, and then everybody else kind of does their own thing. I think more of these conversations about who should be 12 and 14 and 15 and 16, I think it's almost designed to have that excuse built in when the season's over or next year to be like, guys, see, even the 12 team or 16 team's not going to work.

We're just going to have to do this branch off and accept it. And if that's the case, teams like Oklahoma State currently cannot rest on 20 years of history. If you have back-to-back-to-back three and nine seasons, you might not make that top 40 cut line, which is why making moves is the most critical thing in the world right now yes that's my frustrated voice coming out i love you too chris carry on fellas carry on how does friends university do it cody how's their playoff system you know what i did don't don't dagnabbit so they lost but that's because they went conservative gundy mode and they decided to try to sit on a 17-7 lead instead of just run their offense.

No, how does the bracket work? No, Drake, Drake, let me tell you. Okay, so I do some broadcasting for Baker University, and this was a mess. It's not much better. Can you guys kiss already? No, no, listen. Think about this if this happened in the Big 12. So Baker ended up getting the 13 seed.

The top 20 make the playoffs. There's a bunch of auto bids, y yada top 12 get a buy 13 plays 20 so forth you work down to 16 and then on the 12 seed was a team that baker beat a week and a half before the regular season ended on the road they have the same record in the same conference they got the 12 seed in the buy baker got the 13 their quarterback rolled the ankle in season finale. He would have been back for the following week. Unfortunately, they get upset and lose. So I don't think it matters.

No matter what, it's all corrupt. It's all messed up. Nothing works. The question for me would be, if we went to a 24, which I know is crazy, why don't we start adding more teams if this system doesn't work at 12? But at 24, we're talking about, okay, Colorado, Iowa State, we're going to get BYU, and we're going to get Arizona State in. And at that point, now we know, hey, no matter what, even if –

because in the Big 12, what if Colorado would have won the Big 12 championship? Very good chance that Saturday comes around and they would have beaten any of those other three teams. It's at least a possibility, right? We won't know now. In a 24-team playoff, they've at least got a shot to prove, hey, we could have been the best team in the Big 12. We just – we don't have a chance anymore.

It's over. But also lost games, like had a chance to prove and still lost games. We talked about that with Arizona State, right? But so did Alabama. That's why I won. The best sub-500 team I've ever seen. After those losses. Three ranked ones in a row.

Resumes, that has to count for something i respect that i respect how cody cody gave his college football playoff opinion but circled back to like being frustrated at mike gundy for not firing anybody that's what i respect oh i love it um before we get out of here this all right planting a flag in the middle of the playing surface feels like the best way to get yourself in the news, according to College Sports last weekend. One of the Big 12 Conference fancies itself as a basketball conference. Brett, your mark has said as much as well.

And so I was thinking, what are things that you could do that are similar to planting a flag in the middle of the field in a basketball game? Like, can you plant a flag in the middle of the field? What's his thought process? Well, whoever loses tip-off gets socked in the mouth. How about that? Big 12 WWE, baby.

Jump on the scoreless table. Light the cord on fire. Start ripping the cord up. Tell yourself. Brett's already got Neo coming to the halftime of the Big 12 championship. He's like, come on, guys. I worked for an ESPN radio station a year ago and we had this uh this this guy who's older he uh he totally esha espn radio and when they announced neo he gave it

a who's this neo guy they got on the uh big 12 things like ah you're talking about matt mosley absolutely it's mosley it It's 100% Mosley. Because it was Nelly last year. She was like, this shot. Guys, Nelly, huh? Nelly was absolutely terrible. I was really excited. I was so excited, right?

I was going to video it for my kids and stuff back home. And it was extremely disappointing. Well, he's like 10 years past, 15 years past his time. He didn't hit a note. He didn't try to hit a note. The people behind him didn't try to hit notes. Next year's going to be T-Pain. It'll be Akon the following year.

It was a talk-a-thon with fireworks. Ten lines to rule. Big Boi. They bring Big Boi out there. They're going to play in Atlanta just for Big Bo Boy to come and do the halftime show. Andre III. We haven't seen him in a while. We can keep naming rappers, but before we get out of here, out of here.

He sent three videos. Hypothetical wins. Big 12 squad is Parker. Is he holding an Expo marker? What's he doing? Hypothetical wins. Big 12 squad is Parker Ainsworth, host of Locked on Goose. I think we're missing the boat here.

We should make up our own hypothetical wins, and then we'll have a better shot at the college football playoff, just like the SEC does. I've got my top three hypothetical wins for Houston, and I want to hear yours. My first one, Houston beats Oklahoma if Zion Chris plays. Zion Chris got it. All right, that's enough of that.

Guys, he wants to flash that Stan the Fan so bad. I like that. So bad. Dude, what's that Stan the Fan so bad. He does. So bad. He loves it. The high school football are killing this right now. The amount of times where it's like Alabama would beat this team, we don't know that. We didn't know that.

Actually, I'm going to bring a bottle of Hems and a Bilt Bar to the show. I'll bring the Z-Biototic for me and nick we're gonna need it hey really quick the fact that we did this whole show and no one roasted me for my voice i thought there was no way i was getting through that without that happening you've been roasting enough this season i was saving it personally for when we're not recording so i was gonna make a puberty joke but then i remembered i scream a lot, too, so there's going to be a day that I sound like a dying fish, and I don't want to be made fun of. And any puberty joke you make about Wistersell,

he just takes his hat off and it goes right away. He cannot. Nobody. I wasn't going to do that either. He needs our old friends from NutraPool. NutraPool is a crazy one to drop. Oh, that's great. Today's show is brought to you by Game Time.

As every Big 12 squad show is, thanks for making our shows your first lesson every single day. From Oklahoma State to Texas Tech to Kansas to all of the guys who are here talking about sports today. Our producer, Allie Bronze, is going to watch this and be like, what the hell was that, guys? That sucked. You guys were way too journalistic. Yeah, we didn't even talk about the thanksgiving food what we completely glossed over we went right past hammer turkey chris level is uh no doubt it's gotta be both trash and at least we didn't miss the opportunity to remind everybody that
