Shutdown Fullcast 3.29.0
00:00Welcome to the shutdown fullcast.We are going to, in this preview episode, look ahead to the week that will be.I would like to immediately dive into something we should be completely calm about,sang foie, even cool-blooded, even-handed.That would be the college football playoff rankings, which are just, they're just rankings.They're not any.They're just, don't kill it.anyone over these numbers next to names put them out of your mind listen to the sound of my voice
00:35focus on sensual pleasure man fuck all there's iwas nine that's too low no no don't listen to jasoneverything's fine i want to i want to listen to jason he's so right you're on an ocean wherestanford is number one number five and unranked no no bama's four no bama's best win isWisconsin, same as Iowa.Don't listen to them.These rankings mean nothing.Soon your body will turn to dirt and ash.You hush up.
01:02Meditation tape.The robots will come for you.In your sleep.The Florida's ranking is double Bamas and they've done the exactsame thing. The last of us isan optimistic look at the world'sending. Why is Ohio Statethere? Why are they even there?
01:16They struggle against a Mac team. People say, oh,Arkansas did the same thing, but Arkansassucks. Follow the ways.Arkansas is a quality loss to Toledo becauseToledo lost last night and they're not out of the rankingsyet. Follow the waves. The Tulane waves.They're calm and you don't even know that they'rethere. Shh. Georgia Tech beat
01:32Tulane. Sleep now. And thenbeat Florida State.Sleep. Sleep on Georgia Tech.Man, Ryan is the worstonboard computer ever.You are the mostHal. Hal has nothing ona spaceship captained by
01:48Ryan Nanny asthe psychotic yetoddly calm computer.Uh, by the way, joining us, just to introduce, uh, for this, that was, yeah, that was Ryan Nanny.Hello. Hello, Spencer.God damn it, you have to stop that. I am. I'm going to break out in a hive.Everything's fine. How are you?I'm going to turn, I will turn this car around, son. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Go ahead.
02:14I'm at the dad stage of reaching back and randomly slapping people in the back seats.Somebody deserved it. If you, if you, if you, if you didn't do it this time, you got away with somethingpreviously.Or you will be doingsomething in the future.All dad justice is legal.Dad justice.The worst CBS show.
02:34Dad justice.Number three in America.That rapper acronym isAgile, by the way.Yeah. Which rapper would be on dad justicebecause Ice-T has been on ajustice show.L.L. Cool, Jay.
02:48Kanye has tweeted aboutin-app purchases in children's games.Well, Master P is a famous.dad, and I feel like he hasn't had enough TV exposure lately, and I would like to see MasterP, maybe Dad Justice is, he's like a bounty hunter for kids who left correctional camp.Like, if your kid goes on Mori and has to go to boot camp, so they'll straighten up,but they jump the fence, Master P's coming for him, Dad Justice.Okay, I could see that.
03:18I would also, it just for, if our budget's a little lower, because...Which, if you listen to...of this podcast, you know that it is.Yeah, but it's a little lower.What?Yeah. Is Big Daddy Kane around? Can we do that?He is, yeah.Yeah, we can do that.
03:34And then, if all else fails, I think we can get Rayquan to do it.I mean, we might want to move that up because, you know.There's some news about Rayquan.I didn't hear anything, but.No, did you?I didn't hear a word.Did I miss?I didn't say anything.
03:48Did I miss something?All right.There's a story that an FBI,informant. It involvedmurder. It involved an FBIinformant who's not me.And yes, it involved along, dormant case from the
04:0490s that I don't know anything about.Hey, listen, it'sthat, was anyone charged?I don't know. That's the extent of myknowledge. Statute of limitations is long, man.It's longer than Virginia Tech'schampionship list streak.Yeah, which is
04:19forever. I just got thatjoke. Yeah. It'sSo, you didn't, you didn't, you didn't, you didn't, you didn't let Frank rest a week before you just pull that joke back out.It's fine, Frank Beamer.Everything's fine.Why does, why does my truck have an onboard computer?It sounds like howl.Seriously, NASA, if you need me, I'll, I'll come in and I'll drop like eight tracks for y'all.
04:42Okay.So these playoffs, the playoff rankings, I would say this, they are meaningless, and people should get really angry about them because I didn't know this.I did, uh, I did a cable television show a, uh, a little bit of, uh,a brief spot discussing these.And I idly mentioned that it is hilarious that Iowa was this high and undefeated.And I checked Twitter like 30 minutes afterwards.Oh, the harrumphing.The gusty harrumphing and objections.
05:10Oh, who's better than Iowa?Okay.Man, Iowa got some feeling.Like, I think it's that Iowa's only practiced feeling for the last five years or so is anger.And now that they can't direct that anger at the head coach,or the athletic department, they just have to redirect it somewhere.It's like when Cyclops didn't have his visor on and just like, it's just lasers, man.All I can do is lasers.
05:34I hope that's okay.Can I come over to your house and burn it down?Go Hawkeyes.Yeah, and Iowa, yeah, they're the, they're the, it's Iowa Hive right now.They're the hive.It's been, Baylor has been kind of the, the irrational, angry fan base.We're overlooking FSU, of course, just because.Because we always do, because we hate on them.
05:54them knolls. They're their own special circumstance, but I think I was overtaken Baylor inimmediate fan anger on the internet. Where's our respect? I don't, dude, it's not your fault.It's not your fault. Also, let's be real. What would you do with our respect? It's worthless.Why do you want me to say you're good? Do you know the things I think are good and that I watchvoluntarily? He doesn't even like cheese. I don't even like cheese. One of the most accepted forms.of fat and protein and salt consumption in the world.In the damn world.You like corn.
06:32You know, I love corn.Corn's great.You know, Iowa's about more than corn, though.See, look, I'm saying nice things about Iowa.You like wrestling?I do.I like endless aluminum sheds on relatively featureless roads.Iowa is, listen, I have family in Iowa.
06:48I can tell you, corn, wrestling, sheds.Do you like my league baseball?No, not at all.It's terrible.Well, sorry.All right.Two out of three.Yeah.
06:57But other than that, yeah, I hope you win the playoff.I do.It would be the funniest thing to me to do that with a team that statistically is like a whole standard deviation in terms of profile away from everyone else in the top 10.But if you did it, it would confirm everything I believe about the universe.I like the idea that it's bad, that it would be funny.Like, no, you have to take it very seriously.When I was hoisting the trophy, you have to have no emotional response.at all other than I knew this would happen.
07:26You take your hat off and you saluteKirk Farrants, you worthless son of a bitch.This is some kind of grim but festiveSpanish Catholic festival, right?The festival de San Ferensand now the processionof the giant corn god.Pelt it with fleas.
07:43Seriously, go to hell.What mile, what mile,what, like, what, what mile, what mile,what, what mile of my asswould you like to eat?Okay, just pick one, okay?It's not a small ass.No, you're going to have some work to do, is what I'm saying.
08:00Damn, people.I think these farm boys can handle it.Okay.Oh, my.Anyway.So, okay, other than Iowa's shameless disrespect, being only ranked ninth in the country,what else sticks out to you two as things that, not that you are angry about,but are a little weird about the
08:25playoff rankings.TCU being that low.Okay. See, that's fine.They're at eight.Well, they ain't played nobody.Yeah.And they've had the close calls.They've sort of got the combo of the Michigan State
08:40always trying to loseand Baylor ain't played nobody.So being behind those two teams seems fine.I mean, yeah, but I mean, that's like a quibble.Like these mostly look okay for going into Novemberwhen I'm like, oh, those are pretty muchthe best like you know eight to ten teamsyeah yeah
08:57I Bama could be lowerbut you know we're all kind of used to Bamagetting the free lossI think Stanford got screwed by strugglingversus WazooStanford that's the thing Stanford and Bamabasically have the same resume right nowyeah
09:12and Stanford Stanford hasI like that by implicationNorthwestern and Ole Miss are equallygoodthat's the one lossTo be fair Northwestern has not lost toMemphis.But that's because they're scared.
09:26They're ducking them.Yeah, this is a lot like if you have a group of close friends and they spend a lot of time together over, you know, say a decade, decade and a half.And suddenly the argument about, well, I didn't date this person you dated and everyone starts comparing who they actually dated and it gets real ugly.That's what's happening here, right?Like, oh, you didn't date Northwestern.Well, you dated Old Miss and you know who they dated?They dated MemphisIn conclusions, everyone's dick
09:56Smells TerribleSo you just have to accept a certain amount of odorThat's why Clemson's number oneThat's rightWho've I dated?Dabo, that's itMet when we were 12Just the way Jesus wanted
10:13He's my interim husbandPermanentlyHe got bumped up after a few good monthsThat would be the wife thing to say, right?Like, we've been married all this time, and he still feels like my interim coach.I still get little heart patters when I think about him.That, and I think the other weird thing here is that Ohio State and Alabama are like so rock solid in Notre Dame are so rock solid at 3, 4, 5 when Alabama and Notre Dame both have losses.And I know these are going to knock out, right?
10:43We have a lot of teams here who are going to play each other and who we can comfortably slide into a kind of 1A second tier, right?Right. LSU and Alabama this weekend will play each other.That problem will solve itself, right?Michigan State and Ohio State still need to play.That problem will solve itself.Iowa.Iowa's going to win.Iowa's going undefeated.
11:07Iowa will play Ohio State or Michigan State.And then if we want to call that a problem, it'll also solve itself.Then we'll be talking about how Iowa is the best one-lost team in the nation.Damn it, Iowa.I so want this to happen.All moves end with Iowa winning.This is the ultimate checkmate.Hawk mate.
11:26Yeah, just Kirkmate.Just book it.Technically, it's Stale Hawk.Yeah, this is a stale hawk.This is all going to happen, and there's nothing any of us can do to prevent it.So I'm not all that bent.I know Memphis and Houston aren't getting in.I know Oklahoma State's not getting in because they haven't played anybody,
11:45and if they beat Baylor and TCU, they still might be out because they'll point to the lack of a championship game.And I know that Florida State is just laying there in the weeds at 16,ready to beat the rest of their schedule and somehow weasel their way into a slot in the playoff.They did put Memphis right in that, oh, maybe, position, though.And I feel like that was just shitting them.Yeah, it's just tantalizing.Give them the respect of giving them the fuck Marshall seat and not ranking them until December.You've watched that team play.
12:12How many teams above them do you think they could beat?This is just a nonsensical, hypothetical.Okay, well, not Iowa.I think that's clear.Oh, hell no.Oh, hell no.I would maybe say three.Which three?
12:34I think they, I think, I do sincerely think they could beat Utah,the way Utah has sort of been stumbling lately.They have a transit of win over Bama.Right.So that's two.Florida would be an interesting matchup for them, I think.I kind of think our D.Bs give them.Our D.Bs in the line give their offense too many problems.
12:55Probably, but I could also see, you know, part of that is like Florida has played way over its head,especially in terms of turnover production and turnover margin, and that probably would have to even out at some point.Well, the big secret about Memphis is their defense is terrible.Right, yes, yes.And then, shoot, let's just throw Notre Dame in there because I'm mean.Yeah, I don't think Notre Dame.Notre Dame loses to them.I mean, they had a problem with Temple, and I think those are comparable teams talent-wise.
13:25I think they beat Michigan State, Iowa, and Utah.Those are my three.Okay.Just because I could see that D-line force and, like, if they can stop the run in Utah, they're in trouble.So if they committed everything to stop in the run and got into a shootout, it'd get ugly.Anyway, why is Oklahoma 15th?Oklahoma lost to Texas.yeah because they're not paying attention that's my only there it's this goes back to the thing that um the thing they mentioned during the show the uh wins against 500 or better thing whichever when acted like that was a new thing which is not at all they they talked about that before the rankings last year and will con only wrote a thing about how stupid and terrible that is um it's because of that losing to texas only counts as losing to a pretty bad team not losing to a terrible team yeah that's that and that
14:19And I also will take a slight quibble with having Texas A&M that high.Texas A&M, I mean, sort of the bottom half of this is sort of like, okay, I guess, like, Northwestern had two of the most lopsided losses in the country this year.Mississippi State, I couldn't tell you a thing about, and Texas A&M has looked absolutely lost on offense for about three weeks now.Lost. Not like, oh, we're working new things in. No, like, lost. As in, they did not know who to start at quarterback.Right. A&M, other than Kyler Murray and Miles Garrett, it's like, is the sound you want to make.Yeah, pretty much. It's grim. Like, yeah. Yeah. We can just. Sure, rank them.Sure. Houston, you'll never leave the 25th spot. Congratulations.The college football playoff committee, making it up just like you are.
15:22Let's do a reader questions really quickly.I want to start because with Jerry Kill retiring, this is from at Brigh Mack on Twitter,with Jerry Kill retiring, which coach most closely physically resembles his team slash mascot?That is a really, really good question.Because I thought about this and I actually, I don't have.have one right now.I don't.I got one.
15:50You got one?Because Jared Kill was so perfect because he really did look like a gopher.And I will not back off that.I know that he is retired due to health reasons.And he did a great job.And that's all true.He also does most resemble Goldie Gopher.Not only do I have a good one, I can top that one.
16:10Whoa.Whoa.Okay.Brian Kelly, Notre Dame Fighting Irish.we have seen the man fight it happened on camera this past weekend i don't even know why we're doingthe podcast after this he was probably turning fusha at the time oh man that fight was so goodbecause like you know what kind of a fighter he is he he's a grabber hand to throathand to throat like hand to throat if there's fabric in the way of throat grab that goes straight
16:38for the throat like a short dude right like he fights exactly like angry short dude i bet he goes straightfor the throat yep it's it's very much to like oh i've seen roadapproachhe fights like acartoon characterlike a looney tuneswith the fistswhirling in front of him
16:55like something you describeas a polukaI don't know what that isyeah you're too stupidto have a good timejust throwing him outmy favorite part of that clipis Brian Van Gordered
17:05he ain't seen shitwho who I'm a whono officerI don't I didn't see a thingI was picking my daughter upfrom tennis campcoaching up my defenseyep just trying to pick up
17:15a paycheck here coachlaser focusedon the next jobon the giant's jobon being on beingI don't know the SaskatchewanRough Riders linebackers coachbecause whatever it takes
17:29just got to get away from this guybefore he kills mekeep movingquestion Ryanthis question comes fromDrew Shaw atD Shaw 31 on Twitterwhat college football team
17:41would take the longestfor people to noticeif it disappearedI thinkgoing with the traditional understanding that the pack i'll stick to power five teams here because it seemsunfair to throw a uh mid a uh a non power five team under this particular bus pack 12 fairly regarded asthe least uh the conference with the biggest exposure problem and i think if i have to go with a pack12 school that could disappear and we'd all sort of forget it might be colorado at this point
18:13because I think there are already people whobelieve that once they left the Big 12they just like oh I don't eatdo they still play football I just assumed they diedthey just went extinct yeah the Buffalolike the MXPX album it's it's it's like theolder celebrity that everybody debates if they're still alive or notlike Paul Pardome died and there were plenty of people
18:38who already thought Paul Prudome was deadtrue I think I think I thinkyou can trump that with Oregon State.Oregon State is the other school that I was considering there, but Oregon very badly is goingto need that win over Oregon State this year.So it doesn't really factor as much.So you would notice, you would notice in-rivalry week you're saying that, wait, wait,why is Oregon playing Utah or whatever?
19:05Since when do they hate each other?But Oregon State is a good answer there too.Yeah, I know that it's not a Power 5 team, but there are several Florida.adjective Florida descriptorschools that could just easily disappear.The ones that sound like banks and airports.Correct. If you sound like a banker in airport,your team could disappear without too many people noticing.
19:26For example.Florida International Credit University.If you left,we really,we really wouldn't notice too much, would we?And they might be happier.If Wake, I'm going to pick Wake Forest.Wow.
19:43I mean, I think you'd notice after a year or two, you would say...Jim Grobe got him in the divorce and moved to Norway.Which he would do.Which he would.To be the richest man in Norway.That'd be such a sick black metal album band.Black metal band name Wake Forest.Wake Forest. The forest is awake.
20:08What's he singing about? Winning four games, man.And inexplicably playing for an ACC title.Yeah, somehow getting in there.Kick and Field Goals.There's nothing more black metal than kicking field goals.Burning down churches and kicking field goals.Playing a 335 and kicking field goals.Lining up a 220-pound defensive tackle.
20:32To kick a field goal.Coach, I'm 220 pounds.I can't play the middle.Kick the field goal.Kick the field goal and play in the middle.Satan's power.Yeah, I think it would be...Six, six, six is nothing but field goals.
20:47They are the demon deacons.So, yeah, I think you would notice after a year or two.If Wait Forest just didn't play football, you would say, oh.Did they leave?Is that...Let me check the schedule.Maybe part of it is like, you know, you would notice that, like, wait, why is the ACC lopsided?Would you notice?
21:10Yeah, it's just what, like, it's just one.side, though, it just lists sort ofand go in circles, which is whatthe ACC already does.Well, what if a big 12team left and they were at 9 and you're like,huh, well, they don't have a title game.They don't have divisions.
21:27Yeah, would you know, I mean, would you reallynotice if I, I would notice if Iowa State was gonebecause I enjoy watchingEl Asico, but I amone of eight people other than IowaIowa State fans who really enjoys that game.Would you notice that they were gone?You'd know, well, that game
21:43It seems really early, so you wouldnotice, you would feel the lack of Elascoin your bones in September.I also think thatKansas State would also be an exampleof this, not because they're obscureor because they areinsignificant, no, because
21:59I kind of think when Bill Snyder goes,he should just take the keys with him.Like, just lockeverything. Just saw the stadium.Oh, we don't know the password anymore.I can't even get in the room.I actually like if he...The password.
22:13in Sanskrit. I'm sorry. That says Snyder family stadium, and we're not related last I checked. Have a nice day.They hire a new coach and he can't go in because he's not in the Snyder family. Oh, I'm sorry. I'm out of marriageable daughters.Sorry, Mr. Kiffin. I'll have to legally adopt you.That's awesome. Bill Snyder's my dad now. Get in the film room, son. Now put on this Pinocchio outfit.Oh, Jason, we have not answered your question yet, correct?that's rightI still have onechamber
22:45yeah pleasego aheadfrom Jacket Dan on TwitterDanny MacGTwho are the most realisticadditions to Memphis and Iowafor the worst attendedCFP playoff ever
22:55by ever we meantopping last yearand I am going to issue a correction herebecause Iowa fans travelyesthey better shitI think over the last half decade or soof Iowa being bad at sports
23:08we've forgotten that that is aestate with some acreagesome population, and those people do not have many other interests other than the Hawkeyes,these people will take over a facility.They're excited to get excited and to drink their polkas, to sing their polka songs,drink their polka songs would probably be more accurate.But if I was in it, it'll be attended.It won't be watched.
23:30It will not be watched at all because everyone in the world who cares will be at the stadium.But it'll be attended.If we're talking about attendance and Stanford's got to be in there because, you know,all their fans are holograms.They attendWell made holograms thoughListenThey will make a lot of money
23:45Off the holograms in the stadiumIf we could countSnapchat attendanceThen Sanford fansWould easily be in the top120 schoolsStanford fans would just sendAll digital platforms
23:56Stanford fans would just send dronesWith camera phones on themYeah I was at the gameWe're not IRL fansWe're more multi-platform fansWhat are you an analog fanYeah you show upIn meat space for this?
24:11Please.That's no way to get venture capital.That doesn't disrupt anything.I think another really terrible playoff if we somehow managed to get it would be, let's see, if we could get Utah involved.There's just not that many of them.They travel well, but there's just not that many of them.Oklahoma State, same.There's just not a lot of Oklahoma State fans, even in Oklahoma, proportionally.
24:40There's just not.I think Temple, if Temple had somehow gotten into this.I mean, based on what Ty was saying on the solid verbal, that game, the biggest game Temple's played in decades, fair to say.Ever.Still had people there who were just like casual Eagles fans who wanted to talk about what the fuck's wrong with the Eagles.Like you're telling me Chip KellyYou said comes to shitJust got a just got a sign being like
25:18Why'd you trade Lashon?RacistSomething racistUmYeah I think those are the main onesI am curious to seeI have one more power five one to put in there by the wayWho doesn't travel
25:34Relevant to the interest of this podcast hostAt least two thirds of usFloridaWe don't travel well at allWe're not accustomed to itOne of the semis is in the state of FloridaSo your people could attend itThere are no parole issues with actually going to the game
25:53And Gators can travel in the state of FloridaPlease, it's not parole issuesIt's mostly being servedIt's not parole, it's mostly legal troublesParole, you're thinking more Florida's tapeSo you can't show your face in publicIt's high-end legal issuesThe higher-end legal issues
26:09issues. Embesling.Tax fraud. The premiumissues.Like they're, okay, okay.Like they're government agents inMiami. You can show your faceat the Orange Bowl. Well,there's three of them. We just have to keep
26:25them busy. You just got to pay them.It's fine. They can't arrest us all?No, they can't.They can't. Damn it. I amcurious, given howeffectively Bud Elliott hasmanaged expectationsfor Florida State fans this year.
26:41If Florida State does sneak upand go to the playoff,are fans going to travel that,or will they listen to Bud's sultry, bearded tonesand not believe in the NOLs?Yeah.Maybe Bud will insist that the NOLs aren't in the playoffs,and FSU fans will get mad at the college football
27:03playoff for putting them there.I think what Bud can do,it's say it's an SEC conspiracy to RECFSUrecruiting by taking Jimbo off the trail?They're just trying to embarrass them.They're just trying to embarrass them by putting them in a game they can't win.They know if they put FSU in a quality five or six spot,Florida State's going to show great,
27:20but they're just trying to put them against the number one team,get them embarrassed.I do know this.Whatever we attempt to predict is Bud's spin on thiswill be outdone by the skill and precision with which he actually does it.He's running the post right now.He's in your house.Dude, he's the Akeem-Elejuwon of low-posts.
27:38like take pivots i have no i i can't box him in facebook you put let you put him in the postyou think you got the film on him and all of a sudden he's dunkin facebook eats these human organslike you wouldn't believe i have no idea he's sincerely one of the best people i've ever seenat it i have no idea how bud has never been wrong about a florida state take ever go backand look he kills he kills the people who identify the wrong takesWhy do you think I go fishing?You ever seen a manatee, eat a corpse?I haven't.
28:16I haven't.I haven't.I don't know.Do you have a warrant?You know what else describes Florida State's season this year?It's the manatee, the corpse just moving slowly.Don't believe.Don't believe.
28:27It's young.It's going to get faster.It's going to go from a manatee into a lethal shark.To a grown manatee.To a grown manatee with teeth.This is just kid of teeth.right now.So this makes the gators the speedboat.
28:43This makes the...Yeah, which again is why we're dodging warrants.Exactly.You're just barring down on that manateeand only one's going to float away from this.Hey, man.Could we afford the boat?No.
28:56Did we buy the boat?Yes.Is it licensed?Yes.Is it a recent license?No.Is the boat itself a dodge for something we probably embezzled?Yes.
29:06Was it for a business?Over 500,000.in total revenue. Absolutely.Did our mother work for the business while not doing any work, but somehow making$200,000 a year? I don't have to answer that.I have no knowledge in any direction.Don't have to incriminate myself.It's in the Constitution.
29:24Love you, mom.Love you, mom. You owe me.Let's look at the week ahead.All right.Which is a great week.I will be at Florida State Clemson at beautiful Death Valley.Death Valley, too.I feel like there needs to be a deather.
29:41Deather Valley, deathliest valley.I will be there because this is a very important gamebecause it all but ends Florida State's national title hopesand keeps Clemsons alive against a team that the Tigers have hada full-on horrible intestinal cramping just struggle withover the past couple of years.Clemson's going to be Florida State.Nope, nope, destroyed them in 2013.
30:082014, a heartbreaker, but Deshawn Watson, either his coming of age or proof of age at the end of that game, this is, this is something that I don't want to say is in Clemson's heads, because I don't think it is, because it was obvious that Florida State was the better team, I think, in both instances, but it's definitely something where this game means something to them, at least semantically, in terms of where they are in the ACC.There were very few, I mean, they haven't beaten Florida State since 2011, so there are maybe a handful of people on that roster who have been on a Clemson team that beat the Knowles, right? It's not many.No, it's really not many. I'd have to go back and look.We're not doing that. That's work. That's work.Dang. Anybody doing that? No.But this is a team that the last time they were, this hyped, lost badly.badly to Florida Stateat home
31:07the last time they played in ClemsonFlorida State humiliated themwellwe'll see if James can suit back upthat would be Jimbo's most cunning move yetit was but the last time they met in Clemsonit was 51145114 and honestly
31:27it was not that closecoolthat was the game I think that was the game whereit was like 14-0 right away there's like a fumble something like that and yeah well there you goyeah without that would have been would have been a game yeah by the way three in a row three in a rowthey have not beaten florida state since a 35 30 game in 2011 i don't think that's that long i meanwithout james around that that that really changes things yeah but they didn't lose that he wasn'tI don't know. I don't see this as any sort of a, like, FSU being any kind of a monster in Clemson's head or anything like that.
32:06No, but Clemson almost beat FSU in Tallahassee last year.It is still a hurdle that we should say, let's see if Clemson can clear this one rather than Clemson will.That's all.Yeah. I agree. We shouldn't count it as a win.Well, and look at the rest of their scheduleBecause after Florida StateI have to clear my throat before saying theCeleste I gag
32:33At SyracuseVersus Wake ForestAt South CarolinaThe worst South Carolina team in a decade easilyIn a decadeIn a full decadeThe worst South Carolina teamCool
32:49So coolThat's what you have to party with after thisbecause if they get through Florida State,the rest turned into procedurals that you should win,and that puts Clemson where in the ACC title game,where they will face someone else.UAC or Pitt.Someone else.
33:07They'll definitely face someone else,and they'll probably go undefeated,and they'll be in the playoff.They'll play someone about as good as Pitt.But they do, I mean, even if, let's say,the worst-case scenario for the ACC is probably,Clemson loses, but Florida State drops another conference game along the way, and thenthen what happens?
33:31Now, who's Florida State losing to along the way?All right, I know they lost to Georgia Tech, so anything can happen.They still have to play NC State, which is not, I mean, NC State is not a great team,but they're like top 50, top 40.They're scrappy enough that they can give Florida State problems.Yeah.I'm not, look, I'm not, I'm not, like, dancing out of that limb.We're thinking positive.
33:57I'm not dancing out on that limb, but it's not, it's not impossible.I, Deshawn Watson stays healthy, and that defense stays relatively healthy.No one's taking them.We've talked about the ACC too long.Let's move on.We really have.Also, in the DACA, we have LSU Bama in Tuscaloosa, another game where we don't have to worry about the playoff rankingsbecause one of these teams has to lose this game, allegedly.
34:21How is they going to keep either of them out of the playoff?I think if Bama wins is going to change spots.I think Bama moves up with a loss because that's almost the most quality loss you can have.Best loss of the year.LSU to one, Bama to three.I mean, at that point, Bama would have two quality losses over top 25 opponents,and Notre Dame would only have one.And LSU would have a win over the number three team.
34:49Who else got that?which only makes that lossBama has more impressive. Really, it's kind ofjust a feedback loop.Hell, I'm going to slide old miss up eight slots.Just cause.No reason not to.This is why Mrs.
35:02Potato is ranked.That would be just a drunkcollege football playoff committeeall just put them in there.Put them in three with two losses.Do it.Let's see what these assholes do.Put it out there.
35:19They just sit there and watch.Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, laughingtheir asses off. Asthey should. They think it matters,the idiots. You know, it'sfunny, I just realized the entire SECUS except for Arkansas is in the rankings,and Arkansas's AD is the one in charge of this
35:35thing. Is that funny?It's a goodbitter, bitter comedy.That's funny to me. That's funny.That he has to go up there. Like, so hey, Jeff,where's your team?Well, the entire division.Well, yeah.
35:49My team is and as other rankings, but my team is not.I think we have an impressive game coming up, though.We have played many teams 500 or better.Some of them are 500 or better thanks to Arkansas.I'm excited that we have an ACC win in our coffers.I got that in the back pocket and that cash that in at any point.Thanks to the Big 12's habit of assigning two teams to one slot,we only lost to the fourth
36:20ranked team in the Big 12not eighth.We can double them up.And also this, LSUBama, I know this has areputation as being theor the slobber knocker.It's mostly just the slobber.
36:37Man ball, man ball, Christmas.What this has been referred to bysome on the internet.Eric, aka Gothlaw,from Roll Bama Role, for those people.Bandball Christmas, because I love concussion heavy football.But this is one of those games that I think can be a little higher scoring than people anticipated.It really can.
37:02I don't think it has to be, you know, a 6-9 game.It has been in the past.But it's really not going to go too much farther over like 30.I really don't think.I thought you were going to say 12.12.I mean, this is my question to the two of you.Do you actually enjoy watching this game?
37:24Sure.I guess.I don't know.I have mixed feelings.I mean, to me, it's less about the aesthetics of,oh, I enjoy this kind of play.And more just like, this is a big-ass game.This is as big as it gets, man.
37:39Like, people can't get no more turned up than this.And if we don't like the schematics of what the receivers are runningand we'd rather them be running further down the field or whatever.Okay, but man, people, this is 100,000 people as lit as they can possibly be.The over-under for this game is listed at about 47, 48 points.Wouldn't touch it with a 10-foot pole in your dick.It started at 54.Keep it coming.
38:08Yeah.Reeling it on in.But if it does break, and God, this is a sad thing to say, if it does break 40 points total,either one team just demolish the otherand we can say definitivelyoh that team's the best team in the divisionor we had a good close gamedivision
38:28Florida's still hangingmostly I want to talk about Vanderbiltoh don't we allI thought we were just going to go ahead and pencilnumber one no matter whatyeah we were going to do that no matter what I do alsothink that an interesting thing can happen in this gamebecause I'm kind of on Jason's side
38:46that this is not normallyin my cup of tea howeverthe scene and how it will be broadcastand how it will lookand what will happenbecause these games can get fairly dramaticthis was thethe 2012
39:01masterpieceI believe with AJ McCarrantup and off his Heismanwinning screen passhe didn't win the Heismto win the gameand that was very excitedthat was probably one of the better games
39:15I've watched over the last five yearsbut we get to watch Derek Henry and LeonardFornett on the same fieldat running back.That's good.That's fun.Yeah, that's the spirit.That's good.
39:24That's good and fantastic and fun,and I can't do that.Also, I'm kind of like,low-key excited,if that's possible,about LSU's wide receiversversus Bama secondarybecause I think that's something
39:37they can take a little more advantage ofthan people think.There are two teamsthat will actually try to pass,which is differentthan it has a.been in previous years?Well, yeah, and when LSU does it, it's still a perpetual surprise, even though we've
39:52seen Brandon Harris, you know, throw over 20 times in a game a couple of times this season.You know, that's not typically their M.O., but it can't be something Alabama's ready for either.Yeah.Because they just don't have enough film.I mean, Alabama averages 33 passes a game.Like, they will sling in a little bit.The only game where they didn't really was that Georgia game in the rain.and oh yeah, also they didn't need to pass the ball.
40:19Yeah, because Georgia's not very good this year.We almost made a whole podcast without mentioning that.No, no, we have to mention it.Reset the clock.Contractually, yeah, it has been 45 days since we mentioned how much time just suck.Flip over the card.Yeah.Another safety accident.
40:37Yeah, I would also mention, too, that you're doing that with Jacob Coker.Passing 33 times in a game.yeah okay sure we all make choices yeah who man remind me i got an i got a lane kiffin story i can'teven tell in this podcast to tell you all so you don't have a lane kiffin story spenceryeah hey computer listen i've had enough johnny walker black label um you stop your assassinlane kiff's a nice man and he never shook his dick at you in a public libraryYou said a computerI like that that's the detail
41:17we find least probable hereWhat's itHe thought it was the world's worst food courtOkaySeriously though I'm going to tell you thisLane Kiffin story after the podcastAnd if you made it this far you'll be tantalizedAnd seriously I can't tell you
41:34I can't but it's so much better than any storyYou heard about himof them all right let's what else what else intrigues you about i mean we're tCU oklahoma state that'sa game right definitely this is part of our this is part of our slow developing uh michael man stylemovie that is the big 12 right every year nothing happens for the first two months and everyonelooks cool and then all of a sudden people start actually firing real guns right okay yeah yeahthat's legit yeah i'm kind of it'll be a hundred 20 point thing and someone will win i'm kind ofwilling to buy into Oklahoma State a bit here. I don't, I don't necessarily think they'll beat
42:11TCU, but we spent, what, six weeks saying we knew nothing about this team? I don't feel sobad about them now. Nope, I don't. And I feel a little more, I feel a little more solid aboutthat. I feel a little more solid, particularly about the quarterback play. They've just been,they've been an extremely effective team. Yeah, they dunked very slightly harder on Texas Tech thaneveryone else has. Yeah. Hey, watch the rim.Watch the backboard.If you break it, you did a good job.Oklahoma State definitely broke the backboard, dunk it on Texas Tech, which not everyone does.
42:43Remember, Texas Tech's like Sean Bradley.Everybody gets to dunk on them.Oh, man.And they're kind of spectacular.It's just how hard you dunk on them.And Sean Bradley, just like Cliff Kingsbury, got where he was based on his looks.I was just going to say, it's a good thing he's so photogenic because he's on a lot of posters.
