00:00I don't know what to do.
00:01Look at Alabama.
00:02Look at where they are as compared to those other teams.
00:05Alabama's the fifth best team or fourth best team.
00:08I mean, think about that.
00:09How far that has fallen.
00:10They were number one every year.
00:12If not, okay, they were number two.
00:16It's a real thing.
00:18So you're not wrong.
00:20Obviously.
00:21It's a fact.
00:21You're not even right.
00:22That's not even an opinion.
00:25But Kalen DeBoer did coach in a national championship game three years ago.
00:30Kalen.
00:31Poor guy.
00:32Kalen DeBoer was the cut line team of year one of the expanded playoff format.
00:42Right?
00:43If you remember, they actually were ranked inside the top 12 that they got, again, left out due to all
00:47the different machinations of, you know, automatic bids and things of that nature.
00:53They beat Georgia last year.
00:56They beat Georgia again.
00:58Again, it's not like a small feat.
01:00They, I understand, got drilled in an SEC title game.
01:04But they were in the SEC title game.
01:06They won a playoff game.
01:09Again, they got absolutely drilled by Indiana.
01:11Indiana, I struggle with the DeBoer thing because, fact, he's not Saban.
01:17The level has dropped from Saban to DeBoer.
01:23But I'm not asking them to settle for less, but, like, Craig, like, they're in the playoffs.
01:29In the SEC title game, right?
01:30It's true.
01:30Yep.
01:31I don't, like, it feels a little bizarre that you're so right that he's coaching for his job this year.
01:37He is.
01:38He is.
01:38He is.
01:39That LSU game probably determines it.
01:41You know?
01:42I mean, that's going to be a big part of the season.
01:45Real quick, just to tie a bow on Kiffin.
01:48Yeah.
01:49The best comp that I could give for Kiffin's, like, recent career, although Rick Pitino's a lot older, is sort
01:54of that.
01:55Like, in the history of sports, like, think about how many coaches coached at a high level in college, went
02:01to the NFL, stopped, and then coached FAU, who I love my friends in Boca, make no mistake,
02:09and then went all the way back up to college again, it's like Pitino coaching in the NBA college, stops
02:15Iona, back to St. John's, winning at St. John's again, you just don't see it that often.
02:20And then, on the flip to Alabama, there is some concern that they're just not as talented this year, Kevin,
02:26as they have even been in the last couple of years.
02:28I do think it's unfair.
02:30It was the worst position to possibly take over in college sports, trying to replace Saban.
02:34You knew at some point it was going to end poorly.
02:37Not his fault, necessarily, but I think we're headed there.
