God bless football, Mikey A. God bless football, Fuentes. God bless football, Mikey, eh? God bless football, Fuentes. God bless footballs too, guys. Thank you, Mike Fuentes. We were just having a discussion. I believe that football in the snow looks fun. Oh my gosh. Yeah.

Yes. Yesterday, honestly, can I tell you what I thought when I was seeing yesterday? What? I was like, this is what the Super Bowl should look like. Yeah. And I know people would hate that that's what the Super Bowl looked like,

but like that was football. We watched football yesterday. Get rid of those crappy, respectfully to all graphics people out there, get rid of those crappy like negative graphics that they put on the screen where like you see the numbers like in gray and you see the fake yard markers,

because by the way, those are always off by like a yard. I don't know how, incredible technology, they can even get it that close. But like you can always see, they're slightly off by like a yard. Get rid of that. Get me a guy or a gal that goes out there, throws like the salt or whatever on the line.

We see little squigglies and then we just see like an outline of where the field is. That's what I want. Good effort graphic guys, get out of here. Don't need the field. We're going to do the glies and then we just see like an outline of where the field is. That's what I want. Right. Good effort graphic guys. Get out of here. Don't need the technology. I need some pigskin. I need some

football. Not your fancy fancy graphics. So, what you saw last night was football. That was football. That was football last night. By the way, also. He's right. I mean, it was football. Yes. Mac Jones. Yeah. What about him? How about you play with your shoes on? Big tough guy walking around with no shoes on. Mac Collins.

Mac Collins. Yeah, exactly. That's a fun. That's a crazy transition. Yeah. Mac Jones should play without his shoes on too but Mac Collins. Yeah. He wants to. They won't let him. Oh, please get out of here. What what what does that look like? What does that mean? Are they going to kick him off the field for not wearing shoes? The fine yeah something maybe give him a 15-yard penalty to man do it. They have enough of a lead They can they can afford it you mentioned Mac Jones They left the the back door open for Mac Jones, and he walked right through it Jesus did that hurt?

I feel so like what a bad starts the week already. Yeah using Mac Jones. Yeah all right it's rough one. Yeah it is. Speaking of that was football Michigan Ohio State that was football. Was it? It was. It was big ten football. It was big ten football. It was wonderful. It was great. Well it was wonderful because Mikey's happy with the result. Yes. Yep. Had he not been happy with the result, he would have said it was a terrible game. We don't ignore college football here on God Bless Football. Lucy will join us in studio. She was at the game. The game. Not Harvard-Yale.

She was at that one too. She was at that game, but it's not the game. The game is Michigan and Ohio State. And there was a fight afterwards and Lucy was on the field and so we will talk to her about that coming up. The college football playoff. I guess the picture is becoming clearer although it's very confusing. What stood out for you yesterday Billy with the NFL?, was there anything besides the snow and that's football? Was there anything that stood out to you? I mean, Eberfluss is fired. I mean, yeah, Eberfluss is out. We had some college coaches get let go of yesterday as well, because for a lot of people, the season ended on Saturday.

Yes. Yeah, so there are lots of openings out there, including in my alma mater. But that's not something we're going to cover today. There should be one in Miami. Whoa. I said it. I don't care. I cover today. There should be one in Miami. Whoa. I said it, I don't care. I said it.

You know, he's bad in big games, I'm sorry. I have a game that I wanna play. Go for it, I'm fourth down for crying out loud, Jesus. I have a game that I wanna play with Lucy. Also, by the way, I have an important announcement. I'm gonna make it, you know what, forget it. We're just gonna make it right now. Really?

Yeah. Okay. If you're a fan of God Bless Football, you're a fan of the work that we've been doing over the past years, not this year, but just in general, fan of the work we've been doing. Body of work. I will tell you that there was

an initial committee meeting for the BCS, and this week, we're gonna have our first BCS standings be released, and next week we will have our final BCS standings released. So back-to-back weeks. We didn't want to, not to get into the specifics, but we didn't want to have a situation where we had, you know, we're just doing things for fun, a big joke, where we're just putting teams here and there moving around. No. We get serious when we need to get serious. So

the initial BCS... Didn't want to influence the committee either. The initial BCS will be out this week, followed by the final one next week, so that's an important announcement that we need to get out there. Well thank you Billy. Yeah. Penn State in a conference championship game, huh?

Well okay, so my announcement was the BCS thing. I have a game that I want to play with Lucy. Yes. And it is the winners amongst the losers. Really? Yeah, and I'll explain that when we get to that. It's not to be confused with winners and losers presented by Smear and Off the World's Number One

vodka, please drink responsibly. That's something that we're gonna be doing later today. I have a game for you guys. Okay, oh by the way, you asked me something that stands out, commanders are good. The commanders are good, yes. Jayden Daniels is good. Should we check back in on Chris Simms' prediction

from last episode of God Bless Football? What happened? He thought the Titans were gonna upset the commanders because he didn't believe in them. Right. Well, you know. You bet the Titans, didn't you? Hell no, I didn't.

You've been mad about this since yesterday. You took the Titans. No one would be this upset. Yeah, you really, yeah. It's just when an asinine statement like the commander's gonna lose and the Titans is made, you remember it. It's on you for listening to Chris Simms. I didn't, I didn't put money on him. it's just it's just it's just when an he's in a mood today. No, no, no, no. It's quite a statement like he's in a mood

today. The Titans is made. You remember it. It's on you for listening to Chris. I didn't I didn't I didn't put money on him. I'm right there with the best. I am on a heater right now. Still you got NFL and I took Washington. So, I mean,

listen to me and stop listening to Chris. It'd be crazy. I stopped. I stopped listening to Chris Sims when he told me Zach Wilson was going to be good. Like you just you gotta you gotta find that line and then just don't cross

it again. There's still time on that one. Yeah. Is there? I think so. Is there though? No, Billy's right. Mikey, it took Geno Smith like a decade after he left the Jets to get it right. There's still time on that one. Sam Darnold too.

Unbelievable. I think. Unbelievable. I believe and I could be wrong. I believe that the Jets, I saw this stat are the first team to lose twice in a season to players. They drafted a quarterback. Jesus Christ. Yeah, that was a good loss though. So

by the Jets. So, do you think Aaron Rodgers is going to be good in a decade or? I don't know. That's not going to work. I don't know. That one's going to work. Yeah, that was a good loss for the Jets. It was. Absolutely. Yes. I don't want

to win games. I don't want to win games and I don't want the Jets benching Aaron Rodgers. He gives our team the best chance to lose. You understand you don't even know who's going to be making the decision on your next quarterback, correct? No idea. So the idea. Woody Johnson. You have, you know, he may not

even be on the in the organization at that point. Right. So you are there. You're just hoping that the person that they hire is going to get it right without even knowing who that person is. Yeah, I know. Billy, Billy. that's going to be there. You're just hoping that the person that they hire is going to get it right without even knowing

who that person is. Yeah. I know. Billy, Billy. Welcome to the Jets. As a lifelong jet fan. Yeah. I already know. They're not going to get it right. They're not. So that's what I'm saying. I already know. So why are we excited about

them losing? I don't know. It's it's a good loss. I mean, that's all we have. I mean. Cuz it's better than winning. By the way. Billy, we spend our entire time as jet fans looking towards April and May. Yeah. I mean, that's what we're doing.

I don't know why we're talking about the Jets, because this is definitely not where we should be starting the show in the first segment. But by the way, if you want to see the Jets lose along with us, come out. We're going to be at Dolphin Mall this coming Sunday. Mikey's going to be flying into town. If not, you can watch this on YouTube.

It's going to be another Sunday service, I think we're calling it presented by Smirnoff. And you can kind of a little watch along. Dolphins Jets, one o'clock Eastern. Nice. Come out. You can watch it in Miami area. If not, we'll be on YouTube. Excellent. You mentioned Sam Darnold.

That was a great win yesterday in his last three games. Three wins, 811 passing yards, seven touchdowns, zero interceptions. Darnold went trailing by 13 plus points in his career. seven touchdowns, 811 passing yards, seven touchdowns, zero interceptions. Darnold went trailing by thirteen plus points in his career. was 0 and 25. until yesterday. Yeah. Yeah. Crazy. I have a game for you,

Billy. Okay. It's called I can see it. I can see it. Yes. I can see it. How does this work? I can see it. Well, it's a game called I can see it. I can see it. I can see it. I can see it. How does this work? I can see it. Well, it's a game called I can see it. Yeah. And you only have two options. Your options are I can see it or I can't see it.

Okay. Okay. This is different than don't look now. It's a totally different game. Yeah. It's called see it. It's called I can see it. I can see it. Yeah. Yeah. You forget the name. Yes. Okay. It's called See It. It's called. I Can See It. I Can See It. Yeah. You forget the name? Yes. Okay. It's called I Can See It. Alright. I Can See That. Do I have to close my eyes? It's Monday afternoon. Yeah, maybe. You might want to close your eyes. Now, we're getting into Don't Look Now territory. Okay. Well, do it how you want to do it. Okay. I'll

keep my eyes open for this one. Okay. But I'll just stare off into my Smirnoff bottle. So, the name of the game is I Can See It. Yeah. God Bless Football presented by Smirnoff. We do game days. Please drink responsibly. Smirnoff Company, I'm going to put a puff into my Smyrna bottle. So, the name of the game is I could see it. Yeah. God bless football presented by Smyrna. We do game days. Please drink responsibly. Smyrna Company New York. Yeah. You were helping him out with a

disclaimer. I know. I know what you're saying. I saw that pause. I saw that pause. I can see it. Uh oh. What's next? I got it. I know what we're doing. I can not see it. I was trying to see it. I wanted to see it. I cannot because I want Lamar to be in a Super Bowl, but I just couldn't get myself to seeing it. Yeah. Okay. I can see it. Can I do can I do I have notes on how we can make

I can see it better. See it or don't see it. No, no. No, it's called I can see it. Okay, I can see it. Your notes. No, I'm I'm writing them down mentally and then I can give them to you after. But I imagine we do it like at an optometrist's office and we have like the big board. Number one or number two? Yeah, we have like the big board and it's blurry and you're saying I can see it and you're saying what it is

and then as you're saying what it is, you're then describing why it is that you can see it and then you go up to the thing and it's it's just black and then the black removes right and then if I can see it, it's crystal clear. If not, it's still fuzzy. Got it. I like it. So, the Ravens are way off. Great audio for that. We need a budget but no, but you have your eyes. You're looking into that thing that they use for for the site test and you're saying the Ravens

are way off in the distance. You can't see it. Exactly. Right. Maybe we'll get a budget next year, we'll see. Probably not, I can't see that. I have a stat for you regarding that, can you see it? All right, go ahead. Lamar Jackson and the Ravens are now 0 and 5 when they have to pass more than they run. Wow. Wow.

Okay, so I can't see it. Yeah, MVP though, right? I can't see Lamar as an MVP. Josh Allen's the MVP. Yeah, he has to be. Really? Oh. I can see that? Yes. I see it MVP. Josh Allen is the MVP. Yeah, he has to be. Really? I can see that. Yes. I see it clearly and firmly from across the board.

He's had now multiple, and this is a dumb way of measuring it, but he's had multiple MVP moments on the year. He has, yes. He had the big run that won them the game a couple of weeks ago, and then he had his hook and ladder yesterday that was so unnecessary because they were already blowing them out.

But awesome because that's football. That is football and him then diving like Superman towards the end zone again totally unnecessary and like if he somehow gets hurt you're like ahh. The way it was scored was crazy because it's a reception touchdown with no reception. Because Amari Cooper has a reception. And a passing touchdown. He got credit for a passing and receiving touchdown on that play. Yeah, MVP.

Run it in two in one play and then I'll be impressed. We could all just. Give me a rushing, receiving and passing touchdown in one play, then I'll be impressed. Until then, get out of here. He had it in a game yesterday, passing, rushing, and receiving touchdown. He did.

Justin Tucker's a problem, huh? Okay, hold on. We're playing I Can See It. He's a major problem. That was supposed to be a winner and loser. Thank you. Sorry. But this also goes with his Ravens,

can you see him in the Super Bowl? And because of Justin Tucker, I say I can't see him. I could see this, I don't see them going to the Super Bowl, but I can see a scenario in which they go in the Super Bowl and because of Justin Tucker I say I can't see I could see this as I don't see them going to the Super Bowl But I can see a scenario in which they go to the Super Bowl and he wins them the Super Bowl on kicks So wait a second. You can't see them going to a Super Bowl But you can see that but you can see that yeah, of course redemption So you're doing the eye test and you can't see the thing off into the I don't see it But if you know if if something happens, that's how I see it playing out. All right, you have another I can see it. I test and you can't see the thing off into the distance. Well, I don't see

it but if you know, if if something happens and that's how I see it playing out. Alright. You have another? I can see it. I do. Okay. Steelers in the Super Bowl. I can't see that. You can't see that? I can't see it. I can't see it. I can't see

that. Oh, I can see it. No. I can't see it. Can you see it? I mean, they scored a lot of points yesterday. They looked good. They did so good. Russell Wilson was so good. They had it in them was so good. They looked good yesterday. It was the second most yards that he's passed for in a game in his career. He had 414 passing yards, three touchdowns.

An interception that shouldn't have been an interception. It should have been a pass interference. Correct. That's a whole nother thing. He looked really good and I heard after the game that, because I think they were saying like, well, why did you decide to pass? Is that the game plan? They're like, no, it wasn't the game plan.

He just saw something and he decided I'm gonna pass today. Good season for him. Nice redemption season for him after he was discarded by Sean Payton. By the way, if that situation we had to choose winners and losers, no losers, both winners in that situation.

Sean Payton was right with Bo Nix and Russell Wilson was right and you know I guess believing in himself he goes out he's on the Steelers now and he's great and by the way Justin Fields nice little job that he has there basically go out there when they just need a first down at the end of the game for victory formation which by the way I don't understand how it is that the team doesn't know Justin Fields is running. He's going to run every time he's

going to run. They're putting him in to run. He's on the field. He's going to run every time and catch you first down to go to victory formation. If Russell Wilson is not on the field, you know, Justin Fields is going to run this ball. Why

can't you stop it? Also, why are the Bengals bad So, why are the Bengals don't spend money. It's a crazy question to ask because of where we thought they would be with Joe Burrow. They went to a Super Bowl. It's crazy. Like as soon as they went to the Super Bowl, you thought, wow, like

this is going to be his conference. Him and Mahomes. Yes. No, and you thought at the time like he's taking this from Mahomes. Yes. And no. In the fourth quarter of that game, the Steelers were lining up and Russell Wilson could have been calling the play at the line of scrimmage and not in any kind of code being like, we're going to run it right here.

This gap right here. And the Bengals still couldn't stop them. It was it was hard to watch. Well run organization, Pittsburgh Steelers, paying Russell Wilson no money to give him that production. I mean, yeah. As opposed to the Jets who are paying $37 million. Okay, hold on. Okay. But like this is- Well, what's their draft pick gonna be? This is an anomaly. Ah, man. This is an anomaly and now it's kind of like, and this is like a weird question, but like now what do the

Steelers do next year? I don't know. You know what I mean? Like now the Steel this is like a weird question, but like, now what do the Steelers do next year? You know what I mean? Like now the Steelers are in a weird position where, okay. They have Russell Wilson on a ridiculous million dollar contract. He's not gonna play for a million dollars next year. But he seems to be the better of the quarterbacks. So what do you do next year if you're the Steelers? Do you re-sign Russ for like a crazy amount of money?

Just in fields they haven't really trusted, again except for the situation where he goes out and he runs it. They're too good to actually get a quarterback in the draft. So like, fun year for the Steelers, but I'm leaning towards, and this isn't the game we're playing, these are all bad losses.

Or bad wins for the Steelers. Because they're not gonna win the Super Bowl and they're not setting themselves up for future success here. Bookmark this. It's a new game called I'm leaning towards. Go ahead, Mikey. So Billy, what you're

telling me is the Steelers took an over the hill quarterback on the downside of his career for pennies on the dollar and then used him to go win a bunch of games. Sounds like you already know who their quarterback is going to be. I understand how

everything goes back to the Jets with of games. Sounds like you already know who their quarterback is going to be next year. I don't understand how everything goes back to the Jets with you guys. Sounds like you do. Well, it does. And it doesn't matter. It goes back to Aaron Rodgers.

Eighteen consecutive winning seasons. It doesn't matter who his quarterback is going to be next year. He's still going to go nine and eight. We talk college football with Lucy next.

Guess what what Lucy's here. Hey Where'd she come from? Hi Lucy, Ohio Was there a three shot because then it's The whole time while we were talking I pretend not to see her doesn't really work

Kind of hope that was the case. I should be worried about the camera shots, but I'm not. Nah, you know. Yes, right. It's better that way, just be loose. I need you thinking less. Right. Lucy, how was your weekend? It was interesting.

Yes. It was, we chose, so we went to the Ohio State Michigan game. Right, the game, right. Very chill. Back to back weeks of the game for you. Yes, back to back weeks of the game. We went to this game,

I went into this game with a bad attitude. I just wanna make that you. Yes, back to back weeks of the game. We went to this game, I went into this game with a bad attitude, I just wanna make that clear. Really, why? Why? It was 20 degrees out, it was freezing, single digit tips, tips when we got there, it feels like. And then I was like, well this game is gonna end in like a 45 to seven final.

That didn't happen, everything turned around and then things, Rose got pepper sprayed. Oh, what? What? Rose got pepper sprayed. She's okay. Okay. She's chill. But she did get pepper sprayed. Wait, so Rose who works here at Metal Arc Media, she was at the game

with you. She was. You guys are on the field after the game. Yes. The melee breaks out. Yes. Pepper spray starts flying. Yes. And Rose caught some pepper spray? Yes. Rose's left eye. But she's good now. the like $100,000, I think all of that money should go to Rose. That would be Rose. I agree. Do you think, it was a good week for fights. It was. It was a good week for planting flags on the field also.

Yes. Do you think that, because obviously, I believe that Michigan was the first team to plant the flag this weekend. Yes. Do you think that the players were aware of this situation? Cause it seemed way too coincidental that every team decided we're gonna do this.

I think that some of them were, but there were enough close games to where like, I'm assuming at, cause Arizona, Arizona State I think was 330, and that, they didn't plan a flag, they planned a pitch for. Yeah. UNC NC State they probably saw it,

Florida, Florida State they probably saw it. I saw someone put together a one shining moment video of all the fights from this weekend. It was amazing. Oh, it's so many fights this weekend. We saw the, you know, the Michigan was the only one that used pepper spray. Yeah.

But there was stuff with BYU Houston. There was stuff with UNC NC State, like every, they were so, oh Auburn, Alabama, so many fights this weekend. Yep. The pitchfork, by the way. I like the pitchfork. As opposed to a flag.

I do, but honestly, like, these fake fields are ruining it because nothing goes into them. So then, like, you just kind of mess up the field, it doesn't plan, then it just kind of falls sideways. I think that the pitchfork, specifically, I was watching, and I'm like, man, if I was a junior, I would go, like for the other team, I would go, I would take the pitchfork and I would snap it in half.

Even though we just lost, I would do it and just be like an iconic player for my team. Even if it was like, and I would get like all the NIL money because you'd have that moment forever where you go and you get your rival's pitchfork and you just snap it in two. See, no, that's a brilliant point. It's like Jack Sawyer for Ohio State, senior.

What do you have to gain out of this? No, you got to- Really nothing. I guess he'll be like a legend in Ohio State. But also, I think it just sort of focuses on the fact that you lost four times. When Billy started that sentence, did you think that the response was gonna be, that's a genius thought?

Are you asking me? Yes, there's no way. Can I tell you something? But you and Lucy are kindred spirits. I think that my thoughts are good thoughts. I don't come out here with intentionally outrageous thoughts. I got it. I think that they're good thoughts.

And in fact, I'm usually confused when they're rejected as good thoughts. I don't understand why is it other people don't understand these are good ideas. Yes. fact, I'm usually confused when they're rejected as good thoughts. I don't understand why is it other people don't understand these are good ideas. Yes. Okay. I'm sorry. Did I offend you? I have a game for Lucy.

I have a game for Lucy too, but let's do your game first. Is it Lucy or Goosey? It is Lucy or Goosey, but hold on a second. Lucy, at any point, like were you nervous being down on the field there? No, because it happened so

quickly. Right. I, so Rose had the camera. That's why she was close. That girl, she'll do anything to get a good shot. We really appreciate that about her. What makes her so great at her job. So I was about 10 yards back from the whole thing happening. Right.

So once Michigan players started running to us, and it was like very clear that they had been pepper sprayed, like the sort of the first like moment where I was like, what's happening is a Michigan player ran out to us, started throwing up. My immediate thought was like, up, tough game, it's really cold out, that's probably what just happened. And then another player runs up and he's profusely crying, oh my God, I think he got pepper sprayed. At that point, we started to run,

because we were like, oh my God, are we gonna get pepper sprayed? Rose was not with us at the time, Rose was there. So I wasn't scared because it happened so fast. And then Rose and I, Rose is one of my very good friends. I love her deeply. No, she didn't say best friend. She is someone who I, we have spent so much time together.

So we're very, very close. So my first reaction when she got pepper sprayed was to laugh. Yeah, of course. It was funny. So you do it with your friends. Yeah, and so I wasn't really scared. It immediately went to like Rose got pepper sprayed. If it. It's what you do with your friends. Right, yes. And so I wasn't really scared, it immediately went to like Rose Got Pepper's group.

If it was Harry, would you have laughed? Or if it was Harry, you would have been like, oh Harry, are you okay? I would have laughed. Where's the line, Thomas? I would have laughed. I think I would have laughed for most people. And I made sure, as I was laughing,

to be like, hey Rose, if my laughing bothers you, I can do my best to stop over there. I'll laugh over there. I would not have been able to say that. I'm not going to stop laughing. I'll just laugh further away. I'll move a couple of steps over here. Harry was so like, he was like, are you OK?

Are you all right? Are you good? And I'm like pointing at her laughing. He's a camera. She got pepper sprayed. But I made sure she was cool with it. And she said that if I had gotten pepper sprayed, she would have done the same thing.

You might be a bully. Yeah. Well, yeah, but Rose said she would have done the same thing. Yeah, Rose said she would have laughed at me too. Yeah. I can see that I guess. Rose was also laughing as the pepper spray. Then she asked someone, am I blind?

Yeah, she did ask someone if she was trying. Oh Jesus Christ. Billy, you would laugh at me, no? Oh, it's so funny. You would laugh at me. You would laugh at me, Billy. Yeah, I mean, probably not. You'd laugh at me, but you'd laugh at me.

Not in the moment. Right. Yeah, I mean probably, yeah. I assume'd laugh at me not in the moment. I Assume you're allergic to but you're you're immune to pepper spray. It's two gods like it sprays. Yeah, I Would say just just just just grabbing another heater Like nobody probably honestly be apologizing to other people for your actions after you got pepper spray, right? I think I deserved it. Not just that but like after the pepper spraying like where you just be screaming something like it just let him kind of wind himself down.

Let him work it out. Exactly. Yeah. Rose was too chill. That was my take. Yeah. It was like way too chill. I'm surprised he even told you that she had pepper spray. She didn't just try to walk it off. She was on the ground.

Yeah. Well, this is hard to hard to hide it. I wish. Do we have a poll? Can you walk off pepper spray? I mean, I don't think it's a thing. You walk off like a hamstring. You don't want to blink it. I wish. Do we have a poll? Can you walk off pepper spray? I mean, I don't think it's a thing. You walk off like a hamstring. You don't blink it out. Yeah, like it out, right. It's better. Billy. You have a game for Lucy here. It's not

really a game. It's more of a question, but I just I'll call it a game. So here's the way that it works. It's called winners of the losers. Wow. And this is how it works. We are trying to find out, or you're just gonna tell us, the winners, so who it is that benefits the most from losing and not playing in their conference championship. So it's the winners of the losers.

Now, I think an obvious one, and I got a lot of crap for saying this earlier, because I said they should strive to be the winners of the losers, and their fan base hated this when I said it, was Indiana. I said, I could see a scenario in which Indiana loses the game to Ohio State, but they benefit because they don't lose a conference championship, and maybe sneak back in.

And I think that there's another winner amongst the losers. And I know that here, it's not gonna be well received at all. I see a scenario, and you can now tell me I'm an idiot right after this, I see a scenario in which Miami sneaks in depending on who wins. No way. Okay, if Clemson wins, then they're not getting in.

If SMU wins and they're a two loss team. What do you mean if Clemson wins, they're not getting in? No, if Clemson wins, Miami's not getting in. Oh yeah, that's what I'm talking about. Yeah, because Clemson will get in and then SMU maybe gets in. If Clemson wins the ACC Championship game, yes. Miami's out. Entirely.

I don't think. You don't think they're a winner amongst the losers. You lost two out of your last three against unranked opponents. These aren't losses to South Carolina. These aren't losses to BYU like what SMU has. Clemson is very much in position to be a bid stealer and I just don't see any situation where Miami makes it because like their

strength of schedule is not strong no matter what people might tell you it's not the ACC is not a strong conference. Miami never played Clemson or SMU they didn't play the top teams in this conference so I just don't see any way that with a loss to Syracuse and Georgia Tech which like George Tech's not a bad loss. Syracuse isn't a bad loss but they're unranked teams. There's just not room to space. And there's two of them. Right. And so if SMU wins, SMU is in. I don't really see a way Clemson's not gonna get in without winning Miami. I just I what it's like a 30% chance or something they make it.

I just don't see that happening. Things would have to be like unbelievably chaotic this weekend, but still, like, if you're in your conference championship game, there's a very, very high likely chance that you will make the playoff, whether you lose. I just don't see there being spaces for Miami because if you're going to take a three loss SEC team or Miami, you're going to take that SEC team. No doubt. Yeah, as they should. Yes. And they should. Wait, so if Clemson wins that game, does SMU get in?

Potentially. Yeah. I mean, I think they're good. No, they're really, really good. They've got one loss on the season. I think it really does depend on the way the game plays out. We're like, if Clemson beats the breaks off of SMU, then yeah, your eye test is gonna fail, you're probably not gonna make it. But right now it feels like SMU is, I don't wanna say like a full lock,

that Oregon is the only like real lock to make the playoff right now. I really think that SMU is most likely going to make it. And like Clemson lost to South Carolina in a really close game, like it wasn't a blowout by any means. Clemson is not a bad football team. But I am leaning towards SMU this weekend,

but I think SMU is in. I really, really do. All right, are you ready for Lucy or Goosey? Always am. Okay, this is very exciting. Is the Big 12 gonna block out Indiana from getting in? I don't believe so. So the Big 12 is a very just like, oh my God situation.

It's so weird. Talk to your kids about the Big 12, okay? It's not really safe for young viewers right now. Arizona State and Iowa State are playing the Big 12 Championship game. Iowa State, 10-win season, first 10-win season ever in Iowa State history, so congrats to the clones. They did not play any of the

Big 12 teams, I think they only played like one or two of the Big 12 teams that had a winning record. Like they haven't really had that like quality win. You could say their best one is Iowa or Kansas State. Arizona State has kind of done some work over the last few weeks, so I don't see a way that the Big 12 loser makes it in just because that conference has just sort of cannibalized itself just to the craziest extent and neither team is really... Arizona State more than Iowa State has sort of proven that they have some, you know, kind of extra padding to their schedule to help boost their case for the playoff.

But I don't see the Big 12 having two teams. I'm just worried that... Well, no, but even one, right? Cause like at a certain point, Indiana may get blocked out cause only a certain number of teams can make it. So the big 12, I think will only get there automatically. I don't think they're gonna get another spot in there. What stinks is the most exciting team in the big 12 won't make it in. Colorado's not making it in.

No, but I'm saying like even the big 12 champion is gonna be, is a worse team than Indiana. Oh no, that's no, and that's sort of the issue you run into with this playoff and and my my sort of understanding is I'm very curious to see the way that conference championship week bleeds into what the playoff looks like. I kind of think the next sort of step this will take is getting rid of conference championships which I'm actually okay with because you're gonna see a lot of teams that are punished for

losing their conference championship game that now have to play an extra week. It's a brutal situation. I know we kinda talked about it a little bit earlier. Ohio State, you should not be happy at all. You should be miserable. Everything should hurt. You lost to Michigan four straight years.

Might have helped you just a teeny tiny bit, because now you don't have to deal with the brutality of playing Oregon, and you're probably gonna get a home playoff game. You shouldn't be happy. I'm beating Michigan, that's the top of playing Oregon, and you're probably gonna get a home playoff game. Right, you're still getting in. You shouldn't be happy. I'm beating Michigan, that's the top. Winner amongst the losers. But it might help you just a little bit.

This whole system is just very odd right now, and I do like the automatic bids, but you run into an issue where like Iowa State is probably not as good as some of these SEC and Big Ten. Iowa State's not as good as Ohio State. Well no, like for Indiana, four Big Ten. Iowa State's not as good as Ohio State. Or Indiana. For Indiana, four Big Ten teams realistically would have to get in, right?

Because you assume Penn State will get in, Oregon will get in, right? Because they're in the conference championship game. Ohio State is gonna get in. Ohio State's in. Ohio State's in. Yeah, no, Ohio State's in. So fourth is Indiana right now.

They may benefit also from the SEC not being very good. They could also, we don't know what Penn State's gonna do. No one expected to see Penn State here right now. Penn State could easily go to bed against Oregon. If Penn State plays Oregon in a way that's really, really bad, Penn State could potentially drop out. I don't see that happening. I'm saying that I don't forget that happening.

The weird scenario that we were talking about where you have someone playing for the conference championship losing, being out, and then a team that didn't qualify gets in. Yeah, so my take with Indiana is I think they're on a better spot than people think they are because Alabama has three losses. Georgia could potentially go into this with three losses

if they lose to Texas the second. The SEC, Ole Miss has three losses. Like the SEC has eliminated, a lot of their teams have eliminated themselves. So I think that Indiana's in a better spot because you have the five guaranteed bids and that leaves seven at large. I think that the ACC is the only conference that has the potential to get two teams in,

but if SMU wins, that's now out of... It will just be SMU. It will just be SMU. Clemson won't be there. So it still leaves seven spots. That's either going to go to three Big Ten teams, three SEC teams, someone else in the mix. I still think that Indiana is in a good spot because right now, where this is recording Monday, Indiana was 10th. So right now if the playoffs started right right now, Indiana is in.

I don't, I kind of think they're still going to be in. I really really do. I think that they're not their resume, but their body of work, the way they have played has been good enough. Also, they beat Purdue 66 to 0 this weekend right Purdue had 67 total yards crazy Indiana 66 points that's right right now Purdue's not good but yeah it was making a statement the worst team in the power five right now do you think it's a down year for the SEC because some people are saying that and I feel like it's they just made a super conference you know I mean like they have to all beat each other up someone has to lose every one of these games.

I would say yes and no. I think I look specifically at the way that, and I know I've done this, I talk a lot of shit about the ACC, they're a bad conference. Georgia Tech probably should have won that game this weekend. They should have won that game. It took eight overtimes for Georgia to beat Georgia Tech. Georgia is a much better football team than Georgia Tech is.

I think the SEC is closer than it's ever been. I think there's more teams at the top that are at an equal playing field. And IL has opened that up. Nick Saban retiring has opened that up. It's Texas has opened that up. Not Oklahoma, I'm sorry to you, but I do think that the SEC is still a really good conference. I feel like the Big Ten's a little bit better, but it's also hard to tell because we're always like, I hate to be like, the media tells you a little bit better, but it's also hard to tell because we're always like I hate to be like

The media tells you as words the media but the media is always telling you that the SEC is the best conference for my entire life The SEC has always been the best conference. I don't know if that's the case right now So I don't necessarily view it as a down year. It's just a weird year. It's a different year Yeah, I would say this if it does come down to Alabama or Indiana, I want Alabama in. I think Alabama's better. I don't think so. Really? Not the way that Alabama has played. Okay.

Losing to, because like, if you lost a close game to Oklahoma, yeah, that's not great. Right. You got the breaks beat off of you against Oklahoma. You did, right? Like, a bad injured broken Oklahoma team kicked your ass. Like, you don't deserve to be in the playoff if you lose a game like that. And Alabama is just, they're a team where you're like, sure, they have all the talent,

they could win the national championship, but they haven't really put together like a really great performance this year. Even the Georgia game, yes, that was a win. The first half of that was amazing. It's been all downhill since. I think Indiana is the team that has earned it a little bit more because Alabama isn't beating Vanderbilt. They're barely getting past South Carolina.

They did beat Auburn, but like it's Auburn. Everybody beats Auburn except for A&M. It's just Indiana I think has earned more. All right a couple of quick ones here. Lucy or Goosey, if Penn State loses a close game to Oregon they're still getting into the playoffs. Yeah absolutely. They built the playoff to put Penn State in there. Okay, what if they get blown out? If they get blown out, I think that changes things a little bit.

Really? If it's a 35-nothing game, it's gonna be hard to convince you that Penn State's one of the best 12 teams in the country, and I do think they are. I think Penn State is always firmly in that seven to 10 range of the best teams in the country, which is a good place to be. It's not, it's not bad.

This year. This year, right. Normally it's good if you're too fired. Yeah, normally it's to be. It's not, it's not bad. This year. This year, right. Normally it's, if you're too fired. Yeah, normally it's not right. It's like, we gotta get over seven. It took Georgia, you mentioned overtime before Georgia Georgia Tech. It took that game to remind us just how ridiculous

the overtime rules are in college football. Lucy, but I have to say, I love, my favorite thing about the overtime rules is like, they're just like, they're so made up. Yeah. They're so made up. Yeah, they're so made up somebody Somebody pitched them and the response was like, alright, why not? I guess sure Can we just stay on the same side of the field? It has got to be so embarrassing to do the little walk over to the other side of the field every single time

Like it's like it has the same energy of like riding a bird scooter around Lucy her goosey South Carolina should make the playoff a bird scooter around. You're like, the Ick. Lucy or Goosey, South Carolina should make the playoff. I'm gonna go Goosey right now. They're playing so well. They are playing incredibly well. Sellers is like one of the most fun players in college football. I'm just saying Goosey because I kind of think that like it's gonna come down to like a South Carolina or Indiana type of deal and I'm gonna root for Indiana in that situation. Right. I wouldn't be mad to see South Carolina in the playoff. They

have the full energy of a team that could completely screw up somebody's season, could pull an upset, also could get blown out in the first round. You just don't know what you're going to get. I would like to see them in the playoff, but I don't necessarily know if they're going to make it. Alright, last one for you, Lucy. We went long here. Lucy or Goosey, Marcus Freeman will leave Notre Dame to coach the Chicago Bears. Lucy or Goosey. Billy, that's a rumor that's out there. You're making

a face. It's a rumor that's actually out there. Marcus Freeman leaving Notre Dame. I don't think it's going to happen. I can't see it. Goosey, why would you willingly want to coach the Chicago Bears? Why would you? That's a great job. Yeah, but he's got a great cushy gig where he blows one every year and he's got a great cushy gig where he blows one every year and he's fine. They love him. You can't say anything about Marcus. No, it's, the transition from college to the NFL

rarely works. It rarely, it's a completely different sport. I know. I just don't see that working. I don't, Marcus, don't do that to Jessica. No. Where are you going this week? Stay put, huh? We are probably going to the Big Ten Championship that to Jessica. No. Where are you going this week? Stay put, huh? We are probably going to the Big Ten Championship game.

Ooh, wow. Indy is a great host city for this event, by the way. It's always a lot of fun. I've had a good time, and I was lost by 45 points every time I've gone, and I still have fun. So that's how great of a host city Indy is. Last one, Lucy or Goosey, Georgia beats Texas. I'm gonna go Goosey.

I think Texas wins this time around. Really? Yeah, they had their. Georgia's out then. They had, no, I think Georgia's still in. Yeah. Georgia's going to lose and still get in? Georgia is going to be the three loss SEC

team that makes it to the playoff. Book it, take it to the bank. Thank you. Wow. Book it and take it to the bank. Lucy, thank you, as always. Lucy, guarantee. Lucy, guarantee.

Yeah, it's a good one. Big winner. He loves the snow. Not just loves the snow, he loves his girlfriend, now his fiance. Josh Allen is engaged. Loves love. You know what engaged. Loves, loves. You know what?

I love love as well. So Joshy, we may have had our history in the past, but I love that you found happiness. Josh Allen, my first winner of the week. Yes, all right. Send the invites to the studio. Yeah, exactly. We'll be there.

What do you think we're going to do for his bachelor party? I have no idea. It's in your hands. What do you think about it? You're going to go to Subway. At the planet? You're his best man. Oh, boy. What do you think about a wedding You're gonna go to Subway. At the planet? You're his best man. Oh boy.

What do you think about a wedding gift? Maybe a toaster? Lot of responsibility. Espresso machine? I do wonder. Go hands on a gravy boat. There you go. I wonder if they'll have a registry.

Anyways, that was my first winner of the week. Now you want a loser? Yeah, go ahead. My first loser of the week. Presented by Spear & Oph, world's number one, I don't know, for music or not. First loser, the Cheeessss. Bring it back. I don't know if we're waiting for music or not. First loser, the Chiefs! Bring it back.

I know you're thinking the Chiefs, they won. How are they the losers? They won, yes. Man, the Chiefs. And I love the Chiefs. You guys know I'm part of Chief Kingdom. Right. Everybody knows.

We do know. Big part of Chief Kingdom. Yeah. I text Ed Rea after almost every game about the Chiefs. I have my Chiefs fan in Ed. Our buddy Ed, yeah. Yeah. Ed and the Chiefs. I didn't text them this week because, oh boy, they won that one, but

the Chiefs have not been impressive. They are the least impressive 1-1 team I think we've ever seen. I'm not even saying I... One loss. We have ever seen, yeah, one loss team. Yeah, I'm still kind of broken about that whole Mac Jones situation earlier in the show. I got it. Yeah, I'm just making all kinds of mistakes today. You're reeling? situation earlier. I got it. Yeah, I'm just making all kinds of mistakes. You're really?

Yeah, I am. I am. I think I believe they have the worst point differential of a one lost team of any team that's ever been at this point in the season. Yeah, not great. Not great. The Chiefs right now. Keep the music on Kansas City Chiefs in the Super Bowl.

Can you see it? I can see it. I don't think you not see it. I don't think you not see it. It can see it. How could you not see it? How could you not see it? It happens every year. How could you not see it? Wait, Billy can't see it. Hold on. Let the man speak. I don't think I can see it this time. Oh my God. He can't see it.

I don't think that I could see it this time. It took a botched snap. Right. That I don't even know why they were snapping and not just kicking a field goal at that point. The only reason I know why they would have been doing it is because the Raiders had already missed three field goals in the game. It's kind of like we need to get this as

close as possible, but I don't know if I can see it. All right. He can't see it. Me and Mikey could see it clearly. Flentes could see it. Why couldn't you be able to see it clearly? It doesn't matter. Billy can't see it. You have another winner?

I'm going to give you another loser because it's kind of related to what we were just talking about right now. Justin Tucker. Loser. Poor Justin Tucker. You have another winner? I'm going to give you another loser because it's kind of related to what we were just talking about right now. Justin Tucker. Loser. Oh, poor Justin Tucker. He missed three kicks yesterday, two field goals and an extra point. Yeah. He, yesterday was a bad day for kickers. Sneaky bad day for kickers.

A lot of kicks were missed yesterday. We had a situation where Justin Tucker was going back and forth this entire season for most accurate kicker of all time in terms of like field goal percentage. And I believe if I'm if my memory is not failing me, which it has been all episodes, so it probably is. I believe that like last week or the week before, Cairo Santos passed him because Justin Tucker was missing. And then Cairo Santos yesterday decided, you know what, I don't want to be number one. I'm going to miss a bunch of field goals yesterday as well. Yeah, he is ahead. Everyone was missing kicks and Justin Tucker, I believe,

is now leading the league in missed kicks this season. A one time sure thing now has fallen on hard times. So much so that people, there were rumblings after yesterday's game, during yesterday's game, not even after the game of is it time to move on if you're Baltimore? So he had three miss kicks yesterday, first time in his career.

He does lead the NFL with 10 miss kicks this season. And there are talks about them moving on. Crazy. From Justin Tucker. By the way, in the game we played earlier, can you see it? I did not see the Ravens making the Super Bowl, but I did see a scenario where if they did,

Justin Tucker wins them the Super Bowl but I did see a scenario where if they did, Justin Tucker wins them the Super Bowl. So, right. Bit of a roller coaster ride this year for Justin. Billy, the Ravens five losses by a combined twenty two points. Tucker has missed

field goals and extra points. A total of twenty-two points. Yeah. He's the reason. Alright. He's my last winner. He's kicking his way out of the hall of fame. I mean. He might be doing that. My last winner real quick is just Russell Wilson. And we kind of went over that one earlier. Yeah. I have a winner real quick. Really? Yeah. They lost but Carolina. What a win. They're not. They're not. They're not terrible. Bryce Young. They're not

good. They're not terrible. They're not terrible. Carolina might have a quarterback. I kind of, I kind of, I might. I little bit. I kind of see something. I don't know what. I don't know what it is. I kind of see something. Yes. In Carolina. I can see it. Can you?

What? I can see it. What is to be determined but we can see it. I can see us all owing Frank Reich an apology. How about that? I mean that we can see it. I can see us all owing Frank Rykin apology. How about that? I mean that he drafted him. He should have fired. He didn't want to draft him also. He did not want to draft him. That's

right about that one. I take my apology back. He did want CJ Strand and he's regressed. This is crazy. Wow. So, we don't know Frank Reichen apology. We have no idea. Uh BBBs with a big announcement next. This winter, take a trip to Tampa on Porter Airlines. Enjoy the warm Tampa

They allow 214.4 yards per game. Bo Nix has passed the 209 that he needs to get five straight weeks and six of the last seven weeks.

I think that Bo Nix is going to do it. I will tell you that I was conflicted because I wanted to do Jameis over. Sure. But I went with Bo Nix. Okay. On the situation. Denver Broncos, AFC Championship game. Mikey, can you see it?

Can't see it. Can't see it. Funtas can't see it. Can't see Mikey. Can You're poor Lamar Jackson. All right, Billy, pick number two. All right, my next one is Cortland Sutton, over five and a half reception. All right. I was conflicted on this one. Why?

I'm gonna tell you, I was conflicted on this one. He has hit the over on five and a half receptions the last five weeks. Last five weeks, the Broncos have been hitting on all cylinders. Yes, they're very good. So, he has hit it the last five weeks. He also, the last five weeks,

has hit the over in yards that he has for the game, which is 64 and a half. Wow. Five-shake weeks he's done that. And I was tempted to do the over in yards, but I did the over in receptions of 5 and 1.5. OK. Yeah.

I like it. I mean, if you think Bo Nix is going to throw for that many yards, then it stands to reason that Courtland Sutton would have that many catches, I guess. Yeah. I don't know. I'm not really excited for this game, Browns.

Really? Yeah. OK. It's not the Broncos. It's the Browns. It's a couple of Bs. All right. And here's my other one, where again, I was just wish one of them was good.

Anyway, go ahead. Somewhat conflicted, Billy's Big Board Bust brought to you by Bookie from Chuck Lorre and Nick Bacay starring Sebastian Madaskalko. Season one is streaming on Macs now. Season two debuts December 12th. My final one. It's exciting. Jerry Judy over 58 and a half receiving yards.

Jerry Judy has done this in the last four weeks and this one I was going back and forth. I wanted to go with Jerry Judy over four and a half receptions, which he has easily done the last couple weeks, but I wanted to spice things up a little, if I'm going to be honest with you. I didn't want to do over on receptions for Cortlandt Sudden and Jerry Judy, so I did the yards for Judy, I did the receptions for Cortlandt Sudden.

Yes? Jerry Judy revenge game. Yeah, I... The lame one, but yes. Hey, let's not get bogged down. I was so tempted. I was so tempted after I did these to flip Cortland, Sudden, and Jerry-Judy and do the yards and the receptions for the opposites, but I'm not going to do that.

No los dos. I'm sticking. No, I don't want to do the same prop for two different people. So I'm sticking with receptions on Sudden, and I'm sticking with the yards on Judy. But over 4 and 1 half receptions for Jerry Judy, again, not an official pick is a gift.

Right. A gift. Why don't you write it down on that board? You don't need to reconfirm that you're sticking with us. It's final, but four and a half is a gift, even though it's not officially one of the picks this week. Hey, God bless football everyone. God bless football.
