00:00Let's talk about Wisconsin and Penn State.
00:03And I said this one is a little bit of an eyebrow raiser.
00:06So Penn State are up to 13th in the country.
00:12Newsflash.
00:13They're not one of the 13 best teams in college football.
00:16The attraction to Penn State, Dave laid it out fantastically
00:19in the preseason conversation, is the schedule's bad.
00:25But I got to tell you guys, they're a 10-point favorite to Wisconsin.
00:31This tells me that even if the schedule is easy,
00:36they're not going to make it.
00:37I don't know about you, Dave, but all of a sudden,
00:40the Northwestern game looks a little bit more difficult.
00:43I don't know how the USC game is going to be priced,
00:46but it's going to be short.
00:47Dogs at Michigan.
00:48I think dogs going to Washington.
00:51That's what really caught my attention here
00:52with the Penn State number against Wisconsin.
00:55Or Wisconsin have really moved in power rating
00:57since Notre Dame beat them in the open.
01:00I mean, Penn State's doing exactly what I predicted.
01:04There's a reason why I took over 8.5,
01:05and I did take the plus 350 ticket as a college football long shot
01:09to make it because of exactly what the schedule is.
01:13You had non-conference cupcakes in Marshall Temple in Buffalo.
01:17My apologies to the Temple people.
01:19And then you open with Wisconsin and Northwestern.
01:21That should be 5-0.
01:23It should be.
01:24I know Northwestern looked decent last night,
01:26but that should be 5-0.
01:27You don't have Ohio State.
01:28You don't have Oregon.
01:30You don't have Indiana.
01:31Now, the Washington game does look different than it looked
01:34maybe in August.
01:35Washington has looked different.
01:36To me, Michigan doesn't.
01:37Penn State's better than Michigan in my mind.
01:39Now, you go to Ann Arbor, you never know what happens.
01:41We'll see what Michigan does today.
01:43Only being 10 against Wisconsin is the books telling you
01:46that they're not bought in yet
01:47because you can't really evaluate Penn State
01:49when you're playing Marshall Temple in Buffalo.
01:51They've done what they should do,
01:53but that's what I expect them to do.
01:55I do think with Matt Campbell there,
01:57I think it's a different environment.
01:59Not sure they have the talent to compete
02:01with Ohio State, Indiana, Oregon, and the world,
02:03but they don't have to play them.
02:05This team could accidentally win 10 games
02:07because of the schedule.
02:09I'd like to see them actually blow Wisconsin out
02:11and put something behind it,
02:13but they don't need to
02:14because in order to get those nine wins that I need,
02:17they just got to win the nine,
02:18and they're three for three so far.
02:20I think they beat Wisconsin and Northwestern,
02:22and then really you're just hoping
02:24for four wins the rest of the year,
02:26and you don't have Ohio State, Oregon, and Indiana
02:28on the schedule.
02:29So Matt Campbell is in a good situation
02:32with a good schedule,
02:33and they're, yes, they're not a top 15 team,
02:36no doubt about it,
02:37but you only play who you play,
02:39and they've looked pretty good in those games as well.
