Thanks for making all of our shows. Drake, you forgot your intro.

Drake, why didn't you do your intro? You guys host the Big 12 squad, but through a temper tantrum when the Big 12 finally gets college game day. You forgot your intro. You don't know what? Temper tantrums? Have you seen your athletic director?

Have you seen your athletic director? We're going to start on the whole temper tantrum thing. Locked on the last year. We finally get college game day and all our Locked off Big 12 squad show does, or locked on Big 12 does. is talk about how it's such a bad look that they aren't going to Texas Tech

and BYU in a more elite matchup. That's a different week. I'm just saying this week, it feels like they're pitying us a little bit, and I don't like the optic. The college game is like, oh, I guess we've got to go there. It should have gone to what's the North Texas game,

the one lost North Texas game this week against Undefeated Navy. But to be fair, Drake, Eric Morse is probably an SEC coach next year, so I'd really just be previewing things. I do think that this is as well, Willie Fritz. Oh, ho-ho. I do think, though, this is, is evidence that bullying works right like that that's what this is bring it back parker is that what

you're saying as an educator yeah i'm saying it worked yeah baby we've been bullying them for weeks on end to come to our conference and they did which is great and i guess i'm glad to see them um hear me out hear me out b yu finishes 11 and 1 their one loss is texas tech okay i know me saying b yu should lose a game ah all right Texas tech 11 and 1 their only loss is a Arizona state they're out of the equation all together. Houston is already going to win out. They pretty much play no one down the stretch. Sorry, D.C. I think D.C. is somewhere in there. Oh, hold you say that. I was listing off all of Houston's opponents and forgot TCU. They're like 11 and 1. They've got an opportunity to go 11 and 1. In that case,

BYU loses the tiebreaker and sits at home. Texas Tech plays Houston. Now, this will have to happen. This will have to happen. Texas Tech will need to lose to the Houston Coo. Houston's in at 12 and 1. Texas Tech 11 and 2, SMU situation. They get in. BYU 11 and 1. You can't keep a good bear down. Three big 12 teams, college football playoff.

Hey, Jeff, good to see you. Go bear cats. I love that. I am just so happy people keep counting out the bear cats. Keep on doing it. I'm sorry that I want three teams in and this is a scenario where I get it. I love this scenario. This is fantastic.

This is the best scenario we'd have. I think we should rig this. Can I ask a question? and it's kind of, I've recently gotten into mead. Anyone ever had me? It's like, it's a ferment, it's honey fermented wine, I think. Is the locked on

BYU 2.0 host allowed to have mead? Is that a thing? I think meat's classy enough for the cougars community I believe. So your meat is a very sweet thing that's going on here and I've had enough mead to ask this question and need some help in answering it and to allow you all to influence my brain.

Are we good enough to win a college football playoff game? Win a game, yes. Last year, Arizona State almost beat Texas. I think they're good enough to win a game. But if you look at the current top 12, BYU or Texas Tech, Houston, namely like a BYU or Houston if they're the representative of the conference,

would they be good enough to beat on the road, Georgia, Alabama? I mean, Washington State almost a year-old miss. It's really hard to go on the road in the college football, playoff, I feel like with a team that elite and win in their house. That's where it's going to be tough. I think that's why the closest we got last year to a lower-ranked team beating a higher-ranked team, or I guess they weren't even lower-ranked. But the upset was Arizona State with Texas neutral site.

I think it's really hard to go into another top-ranked team's house and get a win. If BYU were to win out, would they host? Like if they went, if they cleaned out and they were top 10. They wouldn't be top four. Maybe number five or six, probably if they go 13-0, I still don't see them being top four. You don't think so? undefeated no though the playoff committee is not going to like us like that they don't i don't i don't undefeated team they don't have with us like that this is where we like

question if the playoff committee values the ap people or not because if b yu is undefeated and they purposely have them at say 10th like the api poll does which if you look at some of the ap poll voters it's like they're just throwing darts at the computer screen and hoping whatever hits hits but like you don't think that the the the committee should like throw away sort of the AP poll rankings and start fresh. But they won't. Right. They should.

They'll use the AP poll to start. The other part of that equation is that you have a real. If they did throw it away, like what would it be? Would BYU be higher in the standings? They should be higher than Georgia Tech, I think. 100% that should be higher Georgia Tech. But would that be the proof to say that they wouldn't look at the AP? They're starting from scratch.

Would that be the- I would like to have a conversation with Maximilian Rhodes, the athletic director at Baylor University, who will head this committee. By all intents and purposes and everything I'm hearing from Waco right now, he's a complete idiot. So this could go south for us. Hey, he's not going to have any bias on the committee. That's for sure. He's actually going to have a total bias, probably against the Big 12.

And it seemed to be his former employer, the Baylor Bears. Go, go, fight bears. What's going to mention that in Drake's scenario is that you really do have a situation where you get a five undefeated conference champions, right? Like, it's very possible that all five do. It would be unprecedented for them to have an undefeated team who's a P-Power four team and not put them in the top four. I just don't think even like a one-lost Indian. Ohio State, whoever would be. I don't think they would shaft BYU like that or any team.

That would be insane if they went to that degree. The same committee that left out undefeated Florida State wouldn't put BYU in the top four? Right. Well, that was different circumstances, right? With the backup quarterback getting hurt, I'm just saying if UYU stays healthy, I don't see that happening. If you're BYU, though, would you even want a top four seed? Like, it wasn't successful last season,

and I think there's something to be said about the time off and the on-campus atmosphere has to be beyond anything you've ever experienced previously. Yeah, 5 through 8 gets a home game. What's up? Yeah, 5 through 8 gets a home game. Right, BYU gets a home game. 5 through 8 is better than 1 through 4, for sure. Yeah.

That's what Latch would bear out with. Yeah, because the number 18 won the national championship, right? I wish Hatch was here, but I would be curious to see what BYU fans would think of that. But, okay, if Houston level's not here, so Parker, would you prefer if you were to, end up the rest of the season in a one to four scenario or would you prefer a five to nine so you can have that at home well i would point out like we talked about when texas tech came through houston that it's like we matched up with a and m somehow in that first round game a and m would probably have a pretty large presence yeah that's therein lies the issue i don't know if houston playing at

home is going to bring in a lot of houston well and and admittedly i'll say it again i said it back then but if you weren't listening back then uh the the the city of houston has alumni from all of these fan bases and it's a like there's a lot of SEC and big 12 schools that like their largest out of home market band base is in the city of Houston because it's just that I mean it's the biggest for tech it's the biggest for TCU outside of DFW it's the biggest for Oklahoma State like a lot of these schools have their big fan bases outside of their hometown in Houston and so like it's their chance to see their school and it was also less than an hour and a half away so like like that's it's not that

far away even if you win there's not a guarantee that you get a top four seed right it kind of feels like if it's not change this year yeah sorry jeth go off for it kind of feels like it's not b yu then it's not going to be a home game like because there's not going to be a one lost big 12 team that gets a home game in the college football play i think texas tech if they go 12 and one they'd be that five to eight range probably they're a quarterback and and they could blame they could blame the one they could blame the one in the backup quarterback right we talked about the fortistate they did qualify that right i think texas tech has that's weird because you Utah gets to blame entire seasons on backup quarterback, so we can give Texas Tech a game.

When you're in every single game and you're trying to figure out why you're losing all these games by three, I think quarterback is a fair place to start. I watched the Colorado, Utah game last year. I didn't know you lost my three. That's the only one that got out of hand. Well played. Well, played, sir.

That was the only one. And it was still a game in the fourth quarter. It got really out of hand. It also matters about how you look because Florida State did look different. So, I mean, we have to, yes, you have to project a little bit, but if Texas Tech looks like a strong team, which I don't necessarily know if Florida State did look like a strong team,

and we can get into those conversations of eye test versus resume versus, you know, whatever right here you want. Because they don't look that way. So that's also a valid point. I think BYU is very gritty, but I don't know how much grit is valued in a 16th team, right? Like if that was an SEC gritty,

oh, man, they come back, they fight sometimes it's close, but they're always going to pull it through. Okay, then, yeah, maybe it gets nigh, but I think we all know how the conference is treated national. But yeah, I think it matters how tech looks. And if BYU had won every single game on their schedule as the schedule sits by 40 points, the way that Indiana is doing, BYU would be a top seven or eight team.

I think they would be squarely in that, hey, they could be a buy situation. But they have not looked convincing in almost any of their wins this season, namely against power for opponents. So that's where it gets a little hairy. Can they win? Absolutely. They're elite at winning. Are they elite at winning big and convincingly?

No, that's where the committee could be. off on them up. Coming up, this is a good conversation, actually. I'm kind of liking it. This is the Big 12 squad. Hey, today's show is brought to you by Fandall. Fandall is exactly where I go every single week when BYU is an underdog. Or when I take, I was four in one last week on the Big 12 best bets. And so all you got to do is go to Fandul.

And every Thursday, you see the Big 12 best bets come up on your feet and you say, I'm going to click on that. And then you can go play those at Fandul. And right now, if you go to Fandul and put $5 on the bet, and that bet hits, you get a three. $300 in bonus bets. And one of the best situations that has anything to do with Fandul is the fact of the NBA season this year when the NBA back, that's like live same game parlay. I'm not a big NBA guy, but I can be a big NBA guy when I say, hey, Cooper Flag under 22 points. And then he goes under 22 points and I win money. It keeps the game exciting right now new Fandall customers.

Again, get those $300 in bonus bets when your first $5 bet hits. Head to Fandle.com to sign up and play your game with Fandle, the official sports betting partner of the NBA. It's Fan Duel. National media doesn't love us. The AP poll doesn't love us. I don't think the college football playoff committee is going to love us either. They didn't last season seem to feel that way. Like 10 and 2, BYU, if you're 10 and 2 in the SEC,

you're probably getting into the college football playoff. We've established that at this point. This year, though, I still don't think in that 11 and 1 scenario, you're keeping any of those big 12 teams out. They're not having, like, BYU is a big enough brand. Texas is big enough brand. I don't think Houston is. Houston could be an 11-win team and get left out.

I could see that. But I think the other two, they have enough. as far as their body of work goes to be allowed in. I don't want to make, because I think the other cases are more interesting, I would point out that a discussion point on that actually isn't going to be brand to me, Drake, as much as the strength of schedule.

I've talked a couple of times on Locked on Coogs that like the strength of schedule kind of comes to play as one of the third or fourth type. No, we don't give a rat's ass about strength of schedule. No, I just mean, there's a bunch of 11-win teams. I mean, like, well, but you guys played West Virginia and those guys down the stretch. and like you played Oklahoma State after Gundy was fired and and all they're going to say all that kind of stuff that didn't like you all of you all said and and I I think it gets lost in that like this team is a better team than there were I mean new transfer quarterback two new quarterings like that gets lost in all that conversation it feels like every time it gets had I I do think though that that means that like you're saying Houston would get left out for a couple reasons I power you know Peach Bowl champion they're doing the reunion tour this weekend 10 years later it's like this has happened before.

the brand's been good before it's just not the year for that this isn't best i'm talking about your brand parker okay seven schools rang the top in eight people on both seven schools he's in one of them just speaking of brand can we shout out the big 12 intern that's doing the wind simulation for drake's hair right now come on now master more more is that the is that the same intern too is it did you just have a sip of wine after you were showing the meat earlier you got quite The meat is too sweet. I needed to even it out with a nice tart Cabernet of Sauvignon.

You know, he's eating off that, that September money. Not that. Oh, there is. Yeah, that's what that. Do you guys to pivot back to the strength of schedules? Do you guys know who has the toughest remaining strength of schedule in the conference? Is it? Is it Cincinnati?

It's Cincinnati, yeah. So the FBI has Cincinnati 14th in college football, BYU 24th. So I feel like they're down, and then Houston, sorry, Parker, to throw it. And you guys, you guys are 63rd down the stretch. Yeah, which is, I mean, like, Houston, they're 11 and 1, man. I really think Houston might be 11 and 1 here, which is crazy. They're going to the Big 12 championship. I'm trying to tell you today, October 30th.

Happy Halloween, Parker, you have to root avidly because don't BYU and Centsy play each other. You have to root avidly for the easiest scenario is actually, the easiest scenario for Houston, I thought was actually if BYU won out and then Utah beat Cincinnati, then Sincere'd have two conference losses, Tech would have two conference losses, and be 12 and 0, 11, and 1, no questions asked. Because Sincolns went out and Tech wins out, and now it's Cincinnati and Texas Tech, our favorite conference clash in Arlington deciding the title.

But otherwise, if Cincinnati, who has a very tough schedule coming up, slips a couple times, we're looking at the Houston Cougars being squarely in there. But could that be the script, though, Texas Tech and Cincinnati? because the easiest Patrick Mahomes, Travis, Kelsey, Taylor Swift shows up to the big of the championship game. I like which. I just figured it up. Do the wedding in Arlington. Sponsoranth, Dr.

Terry Jones can officiate. Everybody run a fan duel. We're going to cut what Jeff said. No, we're not going to be rich. Okay. Because that works out so well. Let's ask Chauncey. Let him cook.

What just happened here? I think he just figured out the Matrix. And he's wearing his 13-0 shirt. Okay. What most importantly, what he's wearing is the perfection, basically what that. Yeah, but you guys can't see the year. It's actually. When referencing past success,

sometimes we have bad omen for this week, Jeff. It's fine. Is he on to something? Is he on to something? Let me throw this to you, right? Because we talked about could three teams get in? Last year, I've always, because. Believe it or not, when I first joined TCU,

it actually was a thing that maybe they would make it to the college football playoffs. I know. It feels like a long time ago. But it was a thing that I broke down. And it was basically one independent, Notre Dame, one G5, which obviously three SEC teams, four Big Ten, two ACC, one Big 12. What changes to get you to three Big 12 teams?

Because that's two up. That means two have to drop. So what are the changes that occur? Notre Dame is already at two losses. And they don't have a conference championship to mind. Notre Dame will get it if they don't lose another game, though. I mean, are we doubting that? 11 and 1st or 10 and 2 Notre Dame, who's going in?

They're like, right now they have Texas, the AP poll does. They have Texas Tech right below Notre Dame, but Notre Dame has five games remaining against Boston College is terrible. Navy, I mean, the truth, you never know. Pitt is pretty decent, Syracuse and Stanford, which is a rivalry game. So they have a lot, they could lose like an upset game. like there's they're not we can't let them at nine and three no no no I think three lost teams guaranteed the bottom for the playoff where the playoff committee meet this year it starts next week

that's how I know border room somewhere where they don't watch the games I don't know I'm just seeing it like it could be in Savannah I think I bet in Savannah before I'm just trying to like prepare myself to see if you know just like you can go talk to him put in a word he's been on hey Drake's been on ESPN some this year so you some of that ESPN poll drink I could go So just give Mac Roads a good firm handshake and a hug. Are they the most disappointing team in the Big 12 this year, Baylor? Christian Rao is here. He's literally right there.

Hey, we won the Sunflower Showdown, okay? We're doing okay. We don't have a certain locked on Big 12 family of hosts whose father would be on any said playoff committee, do we? Not this one. Not this one. Ah, that would have been good. What is for, but just what's that like, yeah, my dad is. He's not driving truck anymore.

He's on the committee. He's out there. He's like, he is petitioning for three Big 12 teams. This is what he told me. Big 12th matchup this weekend. Cincinnati and Utah. Jeff Carr versus J.T. Wistersell in maybe America's game of the week. College game days there.

Is that normal locked on Big 12 squad? Today's show is brought to you by Mazda. There's a reason I drive a Mazda. That's because I saved up a lot of money, enough money. I bought a Mazda because they deliver confidence with every ride. More I-IHS top safety pick awards than anyone else. From footwork to breathwork, athletes sweat all the details. Mazda brings the same intention to have they craft every model.

Feel Japanese craftsmanship in every detail with the metallic accents to available Napa Leather, a pole street. All-wheel drive standard in every crossover SUV. You can drive with confidence through almost any season. Like our players, we sweat every day. detail because when you make every move count impossible becomes irrelevant Mazda move and be moved with Mazda. Big 12th. It's interesting to be Houston, BYU and Cincinnati have kind of bumped out the Oklahoma

State, Kansas states of the world, the Iowa states, the guys who have been TCU, the kids who have been here. Now it's the new schools from the American of the independent ranks who are running the Big 12. And a Pact 12 school versus an AAC school host college game today this week. Is this overall a good look for the Big 12th. I think it absolutely is because you finally get a game day, right? And the teams that you're adding that many people

put fun at is actually contributing. Right? Like everyone when they were like, we're adding Cincinnati, well, not Cincinnati because they were coming off the playoff. But Houston wasn't looked at so fondly as a Big 12 edition if I remember correctly, right? Parker, would you agree with that? Yeah, and we all thought it was crazy because we had just played Cincinnati in

the conference championship game. And like they beat us pretty handily. But like, like, I would point out, like, we'd had a pretty solid season and a final four run. And, again, the dual sport thing. I would point out that. I also think, though, it's interesting that if, like, you put a burn orange logo on Cincinnati or put that sooner maroon on BYU and those both top four teams, like this does feel like the brand that Drake is alluding to, like, we had to bully game day into showing up to this one.

We did question what Cincinnati did, what were they giving us lately in the middle, earlier this season, we did have the narrative, like, other than them making the college football playoffs before they got to the Big 12, what were they giving us? So until now, we really didn't have any kind of love for Cincinnati, but that's definitely changed over the last couple weeks. I mean, Scott Siderfield began the season on the hot seat, and he rightfully should have been. His first two seasons here were horrible. But I will say, like, the continuity of his coaching staff and the talent that he's kept over, like, it's all come to a head. And I think we're finally seeing him being able to put together a winning ball club such that I just made sure that the bearcats are

going to cover eight and a half this guarantee ask hey ask Kevin as locked on buff's host out there how that goes coverage spread of it's always were they closed yeah I think at one point that spread on the live bet was 50 and a half that's how we're going to talk about all this betting though and no one's going to mention that they pushed back college athletes being allowed to bet on pro sports given the last 10 days I mean I mean, that was such a bad decision. The NCAA's timing. Colorado alumni, Chauncey Phillips, Houston alumni, Damon Jones, very involved in that whole thing.

Big 12 is all over this one. I played poker with those guys so many times. They're good, they're good, dude. That's for the paycheck, not the mic flag. That's for the paycheck. These tables were so nice. You can see your own reflection in them. Yeah, the right glasses on, yeah.

I think that was a bad decision by the NCAA. I mean, you could use that every year for everything, but I think they should repeal that. We already had Iowa State legend Hunter Decker's get in trouble, did we not? And John Mateer, who was just having a joke with us. Allegedly, it was a joke, Drake. They put dates and everything, but it was a joke. You guys mentioned earlier, though, about, yes, we had to bully them to get here. But at the end of the day, the fact that Game Day is not going to a Big Ten or an SEC site,

I think is a win for college football, no matter how we had to do it. Because they could have gone to Austin for Vandy, Texas Vandy this week. And they're going to another Big 12-ranked matchup. And I know, look, there's a, I know how you guys sometimes feel about Utah fans. But at the end of the day, it's a win for the Big 12 that Utah and Cincinnati are going to be involved in this. And it's no different. If this was Houston, Cincinnati, they would have gone there because that's another ranked matchup. So I'm glad they're giving another Big 12 team some shine here and just another school some shine.

That's not one of the big brunties or the big time. So they didn't go to undefeated Houston and Texas Tech earlier this year, though. And I think that we really lucked out that Penn State sucks because Penn State Ohio State is also. Oh, I do agree with that. That was 100% going to be the game That's a big new though I feel like they've avidly tried to avoid that The big question that I have

For this one is Is it worth it to the Big 12 If you get game day for this matchup But lose it next week for BYU and Texas Tech Because ESPN says we just went there I think of the two games It's probably not The juice isn't worth the squeeze

If you're going to forfeit next week's opportunity To get this week's opportunity But I raise you in a couple of weeks, BYU winning for the next couple of weeks and going to Cincinnati undefeated and a one-lost Cincinnati team coming off a win over Utah and Arizona in which they will host BYU

and they will host Game Day for the second time in four weeks for a Big 12 school. He's done it again. He's cooking. I think there's one big story missing there. And like Cody Campbell is a national conversation. And they don't get that if they don't go

to tech and the game's being played at Cody'd be on stage with them I'd assume oh wow yeah right like that that would have been big gonna talk about a bill or whatever he's trying to get back well they can still get it why are we acting like it won't happen next week and JT's exactly what's going is like it doesn't have to not happen next week

we're assuming it's not happening there's no good games there's one other ranked matchup and it's A&M at Missouri and Brian Kelly just got the boot so LSU Bama's not going to i don't know if it has the same appeal

it's the same thing with them texas vandy this week they're not texas has lost a lot of it shine this year so they weren't going to go there i'd be shot it also would have been three dago pavia games in 30 days yeah it would have been three times in 30 days that's too much the ovan it's just too much i know we're talking about this whole spotlight thing of like oh if we have to get it here can we not get there but i listen to locked on big 12 sometimes and he tells me this is the deepest conference in america so shouldn't we just be happy that they're going here to and spotlighting how deep our conference is, Mr. Toll?

I mean, that's the number one Big 12 show in America. Yes, it is. A million views in October. I'm looking right now, even if like the FCS slate, just to see if possibly they'll do one of those things that they do with it. I love when they go to the FCS, by the way. I think it's a really cool little addition. Did it last week?

Yeah, that's a perfect opportunity. Could have done it this week. Maybe they're in Beaumont, Texas for Lamar and South East Louisiana coming up next weekend instead of going to be by Utah. You do not want them in Utah. You are hilarious. In the middle of me looking through the games in the FSA. C.S. to see who does play and if there are any good

matchups, which there are not, luckily. I've reminded that Old Miss plays Citadel coming up. And it's just, it's one of those great reminders of how suck their conferences. Respect their troops, right? Respect the fake troops. Respect the, is like three hours away from me. I could go to the Old Miss Citadel game.

Root for my Bulldogs? It's in Citadel? Is that Citadel? No, no, no. But I could go to Old Mount. Hurt is the Bulldogs. It doesn't mean Citadel can't be. I think I know. I'm going to make a hot take that I think is going to suck for us. But if Navy beats North Texas, the game that I think that college game day should have went to, although I'm glad that there's a big 12 going. If Navy wins, they're going to go to game day in Notre Dame. Oh, damn it. They are. They're like historic rivals, too,

which I mean, it kind of makes sense, but it kind of doesn't. That's not a top 15 matchup. Just to watch Notre Dame beat them by 50 again. They'll both be there. I think we give props to. Utah for getting this game because I think it's a big moment for Bryce Eccles Stadium. You're welcome, Cody. Someone had to get beat by 70. They go to Navy.

They almost always go to the Army Navy game and that's at Navy this year. Wouldn't they? If they miss Texas Tech and BYU next week, the week after that, there's Oklahoma State, Kansas State. So we'll be fine, guys. There we go.

Kansas State, Fresh off a win against Texas Tech. Yes. Against Oklahoma State. who might hire their coach that same week. Do you know college game day has come to Salt Lake more times than Oklahoma State has won a big 12 game in the last few years? Hold on, TB, won that, run that again? College game day after Saturday will have come to Salt Lake more times

than Oklahoma State will have won a big 12 game. Oh, that's a cute story. Let's hopefully see you guys represent at the Bryce this weekend. Nothing can hurt him. He's not won a big 12 game since 2003. I know. And I'm drinking,

I'm drinking cute ass beer. Wait, but Cody, there's undoubtedly been good game day mode. I think, and this is not, I think Houston's actually got the best game day moment

because it's where he tosses the SME megaphone and says, on screen, right? I don't remember that. I, is there any big game day moment that they should recreate at one of these plays?

I mean, is there something big at Utah need to recreate, JT? Can't say the M word. What did you say? Can't say the M word. The M word.

You didn't be really specific on that letter, Drake. That was, I didn't hear that. You're talking about Game Day. Do you guys remember Kirkhurt Street on Game Day in Stillwater with that earthquake went and his eyes were like this big? Drake, what do you do it? Drake's paycheck splashed before his eyes, even the wind. Letting the wind.

Frankly, several of ours did to it. good week for the boys um that's all this week that is college game day at the big 12 which is going to be awesome and and the probably did say it'll be awesome that's a great way that in the show he does he does love you talk it is i'm excited i think okay i also said this on my show you said we should turn them down you literally said that drake 12 should turn them down you're making the trip to salt lake city no it's not too far from pro pro no don't don't don't don't Don't wink at us with your hair blowing in the wind, okay? All right.

What's going on here? Did he did it twice? Please tell me that your new cold open is you staring into the camera, whispering your head. At the wind, I didn't even mean it. I was hot to turn the fan on. I didn't know how it had this effect on you guys. Sorry.

I would agree, very hot. I'm not. I am removing myself. JT, for you to be so adamant about watching Locked on Big 12, this week, which I'm glad that you did. I did say that Utah is a great representation. Their fan base is a great representation of the passion of the Big 12. And they are maybe the best representation you could have of a two-lost team to make the conference look very good. They're going to show up in droves, which will be nice. I'll give you 10 seconds to respond.

You just leave out all the other little jabs you took at Utah. It throughout that show you did the other day. You and Cab just dumped all over game day coming here and how we should turn it down. You never turned down college game day. It's a spotlight on your campus. You have to select and it's a golden opportunity for Utah and Cincinnati to bolster their brand. I think what Greg said is ridiculous. White girl wasted to say something that outlanders. How dare you, Drake? Breaking.
