00:00:08You

00:00:38Welcome to the Barstool College Football Show.

00:00:40Week nine of college football seems a little crazy.

00:00:43Boys, high five.

00:00:44We just got back from UMass.

00:00:47We were on the road.

00:00:47That was a fun show.

00:00:48We were at UConn.

00:00:49UConn.

00:00:50UConn.

00:00:50UMass, UConn.

00:00:51Yes, we were at Hartford.

00:00:52We were at the Cumble.

00:00:53Very fun.

00:00:54Very fun show.

00:00:55Yes.

00:00:55Great crowd.

00:00:56I had a lot of fun.

00:00:58It was an amazing show.

00:00:58Great pizza, too.

00:00:59Thank you, Brandon Walker, for sharing the desk with us as the number one college football

00:01:04guy in the world.

00:01:06Are you just now hip to this, that I'm the number one college football guy in the world?

00:01:11Wait, what is that?

00:01:12Hold on.

00:01:12Is that the awful announcing thing we were trying to do yesterday?

00:01:14This is-

00:01:15He was on the mainframe.

00:01:16He was on the big board.

00:01:17Oh.

00:01:18Listen, I was going to give you your flowers later in the show.

00:01:21I didn't know Dave was going to do it.

00:01:22Well, he also tweeted out who did this with laughing emojis.

00:01:26What's so fucking funny about it?

00:01:27I mean, so many-

00:01:29Who did it?

00:01:30I was very impressed.

00:01:33You're smirking right now.

00:01:34I'm not smirking.

00:01:35Was Pardon My Take on there?

00:01:37No, I don't think it was-

00:01:39Been on there a billion times.

00:01:40Brandon's next up.

00:01:41I don't think it's-

00:01:42He's next up.

00:01:43He's taking us over.

00:01:44Listen, I'm not just saying this because Dan is here and Dan's one of the bosses.

00:01:47Usually, Brandon, listen, I wanted to give you your flowers.

00:01:49If Pardon My Take is not on a sports podcast list-

00:01:52I don't know what was the exact phrase.

00:01:54It was just like, these are the names to know in 2026.

00:01:57Here's the power players in college football.

00:01:59It was power-breaking.

00:02:00No one's next man up.

00:02:01Oh, yeah, yeah.

00:02:01It was.

00:02:02Wait, was it the awful announcing?

00:02:04Yeah.

00:02:04Right?

00:02:05I did notice-

00:02:05No one's next man up is the dark man in the corner here.

00:02:09It wasn't college football.

00:02:11It was in-

00:02:11Thank you, boss.

00:02:12Sports media.

00:02:12It was in all of sports media.

00:02:14Sports podcasting power lists.

00:02:16Yeah, see?

00:02:17That's so-

00:02:17I read it.

00:02:19They might have said that, but I read it as these are the ones to know now and coming around.

00:02:23Yeah, so you passed us.

00:02:25No, that's not true.

00:02:28Obviously, part of my take should be in all of those lists.

00:02:32You get one-

00:02:33Chicklets was on it?

00:02:34Brandon.

00:02:35Oh, Chick-

00:02:37We're washed.

00:02:38If Chicklets was on it and Brandon-

00:02:41So they just didn't want part of my take on it.

00:02:43Yeah.

00:02:44I did love that in your description, they made sure it was like, now that Brandon Walker is solo.

00:02:48Also, it did-

00:02:48Very much solo.

00:02:49The only problem I had with it, I'm very happy for Brandon.

00:02:51It said he's a host of the Yak.

00:02:54He's on that show like for like half the show every day.

00:02:57He takes a million piss breaks.

00:02:59The guy's never done an interview that he didn't schedule directly after the Yak and then say,

00:03:04I have an interview or two.

00:03:05I got to leave at 1.15.

00:03:07What?

00:03:07No, I leave at 1.55.

00:03:09I leave at 1.55 to get ready for-

00:03:11What did they say?

00:03:11You were a patient grinder?

00:03:13It did say I'm a patient grinder.

00:03:14What?

00:03:16That seems about right.

00:03:17He's the David Eckstein of-

00:03:19Of podcast shows?

00:03:21I didn't get a break until I was 40 years old.

00:03:23That's patient.

00:03:24Oh, well that's fair.

00:03:25Yeah.

00:03:25But patient grinder just doesn't sound-

00:03:27I'm a patient.

00:03:27Am I a grinder?

00:03:28Yes.

00:03:29Brandon deserves this.

00:03:30No.

00:03:31Brandon deserves this.

00:03:32I actually think patient grinder is probably like a really good, you're just patiently grinding

00:03:37along.

00:03:37Yeah.

00:03:38Would you describe Brandon Walker as a patient person?

00:03:42No.

00:03:44In certain aspects of life.

00:03:46Patient until 2019.

00:03:48I waited for my shot and I fucking, I took it.

00:03:51This man has a banner-

00:03:52No, he's not patient.

00:03:53He has a banner behind him in his own studio calling him the number one college football media

00:03:57personality.

00:03:58Like he, this isn't patient.

00:03:59I didn't make that.

00:03:59James made that.

00:04:00I'm just saying.

00:04:01No, you're right.

00:04:02I'm just glad to share the stage.

00:04:04It took him a real long time for him to pop.

00:04:06Correct.

00:04:07Yeah.

00:04:07He was patient until he got his break and then he is now become the biggest name at

00:04:11Barstool Sports.

00:04:11Yeah.

00:04:12Easily.

00:04:12Correct.

00:04:13Proud of you Brandon.

00:04:13Nope.

00:04:14Shut up.

00:04:14Congratulations.

00:04:15You the man Brent.

00:04:16I never said I was, thank you awful announcing for the, for the credit.

00:04:20I just, Dave tweeting with the laughing emojis is a little bit much.

00:04:25I was putting eyes on it.

00:04:28He's giving you engagement.

00:04:30Okay.

00:04:32All right.

00:04:32Let's go into week nine.

00:04:33Another great weekend of football last weekend, by the way, the slate wasn't supposed

00:04:36to be very good.

00:04:37Some crazy things are happening.

00:04:38Brandon, as, as our number one college football guy down there.

00:04:41Are we going to do this every time?

00:04:42Yes.

00:04:42Why not?

00:04:42Of course.

00:04:43I mean, we have to.

00:04:44You, you, hold on.

00:04:45Time out.

00:04:46You're, you have the, like one of the biggest heads in, in this building.

00:04:50No.

00:04:51It's true.

00:04:52Don't pretend you're humble all of a sudden.

00:04:54No, no, no, no, no.

00:04:54Do not do the shy.

00:04:56No.

00:04:56Oh, shucks me.

00:04:58Get the fuck out of here.

00:04:59You deserve it.

00:05:00Yeah.

00:05:01And you also.

00:05:02Yes.

00:05:02Because you got a big ego and that's fine.

00:05:05So.

00:05:05I love that about you.

00:05:06That's also why you're successful, but don't do the aw shucks now.

00:05:10So Casey, we're going to do this every time?

00:05:11Yeah.

00:05:11We're not doing the aw shucks.

00:05:13You, this is, you, you deserve all the success you, you've gotten and you deserve even more

00:05:18than that.

00:05:18Cause I'm very fond of you and I, you know, I love you.

00:05:20Do not do the humble thing.

00:05:22Cause you are not a humble guy.

00:05:23You're.

00:05:24I didn't.

00:05:24You are not a humble guy.

00:05:25I've always said there's two people at this company that if they, if they be like ascended

00:05:30to the top and we're bosses, we would all be fucked.

00:05:32It's Rico Bosco and Brandon Walker.

00:05:34I don't think that's fair.

00:05:36I don't think that's fair.

00:05:37I don't think that's fair.

00:05:37It'd fire everyone.

00:05:37I do.

00:05:38Yeah.

00:05:38All the little people, all the behind the scenes people.

00:05:40I'm out in the fucking gulag.

00:05:42I don't think that's fair.

00:05:44Who would you keep around?

00:05:45I have some Bosco like tendencies.

00:05:48There's no doubt.

00:05:49There's no doubt.

00:05:50I have Bosco like tendencies, but I would not be as vindictive as he would be at the top.

00:05:54Do you have files on people?

00:05:56Do you have files on people?

00:05:57No, I don't have files on people.

00:05:59No, he doesn't.

00:06:00Okay.

00:06:00I'm able to get in arguments with people and then when it's over, boom, it's off.

00:06:02Yeah, that's true.

00:06:03We have had some, we've had some bad ones over the years.

00:06:05Yes.

00:06:05Brandon deserves all the love and everything that's coming his way because he works his

00:06:09fucking ass off.

00:06:10Yes.

00:06:10I will not let him do the aw shucks.

00:06:12I'm humble.

00:06:13No, he's actually probably mad.

00:06:14It took him seven years being at Barstool to get on one of those lists.

00:06:17Like he's just furious.

00:06:18Anyways, Brandon.

00:06:19So as our number one college football personality down there, is this the craziest regular season

00:06:23you can remember?

00:06:24I know 2007 we always point back to, but this feels like the craziest I've ever seen.

00:06:27Well, 2007 we point back to because at the end it got so crazy.

00:06:30Right.

00:06:31West Virginia and Iowa State and all these teams that were losing at the very end.

00:06:35But, and we had a two loss champion with LSU.

00:06:37This year it's happening in real time the entire time.

00:06:40You can't look at a league this year outside the ACC and say, bam, that's the representative.

00:06:44That's the best team in that league.

00:06:46You can't do it in the SEC.

00:06:46You can't do it in the Big Ten.

00:06:47You can't do it in the Big 12.

00:06:48You can't do it.

00:06:49It's a crazy season.

00:06:50It's crazy.

00:06:51And next weekend I know there's a crazy slate of games, but when you look at this,

00:06:54we'll get into it right now.

00:06:55The High Noon Weekend Preview.

00:06:56A lot of games too that could turn things upside down.

00:06:58Let's go to these games presented by High Noon.

00:07:01Another big weekend of football is here.

00:07:02And whether you're tailgating, watching with the crew, or hosting at home, High Noon is

00:07:05the perfect seltzer to have on hand.

00:07:07It's made with real vodka and real juice with no artificial aftertaste.

00:07:10Light, crisp, and refreshing.

00:07:12And my favorite flavor, the peach, is available in a single flavor eight pack as well as the

00:07:16pineapple.

00:07:17No more fighting for the last one.

00:07:18Visit HighNoonSpirits.com to find a High Noon near you.

00:07:22All right, Dan.

00:07:22Every year, you know, one of our teams is doing really well.

00:07:26Brandon, sorry, Mississippi State falls off the wagon.

00:07:28And then you've got Wisconsin right now doing really well, ranked in the top 25.

00:07:32Number 25, Wisconsin at Iowa.

00:07:34Iowa minus three and a half.

00:07:35The over under 36 and a half.

00:07:36Before we break down everything about the game, how are you feeling about your Badgers?

00:07:39I feel good.

00:07:40I'm the only team on this desk that is ranked.

00:07:43It's a pathetic desk of pathetic football.

00:07:47That's so bad.

00:07:47Texas A&M can't do anything right.

00:07:50Michigan has set the game of football back like a thousand years offensively.

00:07:56And then Brandon had his one moment in the sun with a legitimate superstar and he stubbed

00:08:01his toe and now he's going to transfer.

00:08:03So, I have to do this.

00:08:04I have to do this.

00:08:06I have to carry the mantle.

00:08:07So, I have to play some defense, punt the ball, play some more defense with the Wisconsin

00:08:11Badgers.

00:08:12I feel really good about this team, the direction of this team.

00:08:15This is going to be a very difficult game.

00:08:18Iowa has had the Badgers number the last few years.

00:08:21It's been, we had a renewed focus last year to be like, hey, you can't let Iowa embarrass

00:08:27us.

00:08:27They beat us 44-0.

00:08:29I do think that we're way, way better than last year.

00:08:33Kamari Moulton out for Iowa is big.

00:08:35This is going to be just an absolute disgusting Big Ten punt defense fest.

00:08:42And it's essentially, can the Badgers stave off the freaky Iowa punt return for a touchdown

00:08:49or pick six for a touchdown.

00:08:50I'm going to take the Badgers plus three and a half.

00:08:52I'm going to say if we can score 17 points, we can win this game.

00:08:55And then I will be willing to talk about the future and what the rest of the season means.

00:09:01Because I've seen some scuttlebutt of like, ooh, look at Wisconsin's schedule.

00:09:04We haven't beaten Iowa in like the last five years.

00:09:06They kicked our ass.

00:09:07Beat Iowa, then we'll have the conversation.

00:09:10I'm going to take Wisconsin plus three and a half.

00:09:12Dave, what do you think?

00:09:14Yeah, it's an ugly game.

00:09:16And, you know, the spread clearly indicates they think these two teams are basically identical

00:09:22and they're just giving Iowa the home field advantage.

00:09:24But three and a half in this game is like 10.

00:09:29Like, it probably will come down to that field goal.

00:09:34I'm going to take Iowa because they're home.

00:09:37If it was at Wisconsin, I would take Wisconsin.

00:09:41The only thing that would surprise me is really someone wins by double digits.

00:09:45That would be surprising.

00:09:46But I'll take Iowa at home simply because they're at home.

00:09:50Yeah, Brandon, Dan mentioned Kamar Moulton is out.

00:09:52When you look at Iowa, I mean, he had 541 yards.

00:09:54But that is a massive difference to lose because of how hard it is for these offenses to score.

00:09:59And then you look at how good both of these defenses are.

00:10:01They're kind of identical teams.

00:10:02But Iowa's without their leading rusher.

00:10:03Yeah, I mean, but these games in the Big Ten have been this way all year, right?

00:10:06Like, it's a race to 17 points.

00:10:09It's going to be, this game's going to be like 15 to 13 in the fourth quarter.

00:10:12It's going to have a weird score.

00:10:13You're going to wonder how they got there.

00:10:14I'm going to go with the under because that's the safest play on the board.

00:10:17I would lean Iowa simply because of home field, too.

00:10:19Like, these games are so close and so tightly contested in the Big Ten

00:10:22that home field becomes even more important.

00:10:24But I'm just safely taking the under because I just can't see these teams scoring

00:10:28more than 36 and a half points.

00:10:29I'm going to take Wisconsin and the under.

00:10:31I think it's going to be a really gross Big Ten football game.

00:10:33But I, for some reason, I can't bet against the Badgers.

00:10:36I also, Dan, didn't realize that you are the only person on the desk with a ranked team.

00:10:39Yep.

00:10:39That is sad.

00:10:40What?

00:10:41Our quarterback got hurt.

00:10:42Yeah.

00:10:43Her team's terrible.

00:10:44His team's terrible.

00:10:45My team's just injured.

00:10:47There's a difference.

00:10:47Are you ranked?

00:10:48I mean, we lost our quarterback every single September for the last three years.

00:10:53Didn't hear boo from you.

00:10:54Oh, I said a lot.

00:10:55Didn't hear boo from boo.

00:10:55I said boo.

00:10:56Did you notice he's wearing this?

00:10:57I think Michigan were on the table to get the playoffs.

00:10:59I know it's crazy.

00:11:00People are saying I'm crazy.

00:11:01I think they were on the table.

00:11:02They're in the playoffs.

00:11:02I think it's a legit chance.

00:11:04Michigan should be banned from being on TV.

00:11:07It's so disgusting, Dave.

00:11:08You're pathetic right now.

00:11:10Like, you're a pathetic watch.

00:11:11Somebody sent me and I'm not beyond getting the authentic one and hanging in Chicago.

00:11:15We could be 7-0.

00:11:177-0 what?

00:11:19Michigan.

00:11:21Like, 7-7.

00:11:22Like, you want a banner?

00:11:23We could be 7-0.

00:11:26They should honestly, yeah, they should be like, if you want to watch Michigan,

00:11:29it's got to be black and white and you can't have the score on the TV.

00:11:32Like, no yellow line or anything like that.

00:11:35I think we have the best defense in the country.

00:11:38It's a good defense.

00:11:39That banner is absolutely going to show up here.

00:11:41Good is one thing.

00:11:43I said I think we may have the best defense in the country.

00:11:47Does anybody want to disagree with John Daly?

00:11:49Yeah, I don't think they have the best defense.

00:11:50They have a very good defense.

00:11:51They have the best defense in the country.

00:11:52Very good defense.

00:11:53Um, Kadic, how are you feeling?

00:11:54John Henry is like a monster.

00:11:57He is a monster.

00:11:59No, I think it's going to be a defensive game, yes.

00:12:02But I think, I was watching film on Wisconsin's run game

00:12:06and their run design is so cool.

00:12:08It's getting better, yeah.

00:12:09It's hard to, like, pick up as a defense.

00:12:12And I love their offensive scheme.

00:12:13I think they keep it close.

00:12:14What do you mean you were watching film, Kadic?

00:12:16You went back and literally watched film?

00:12:18He watches film.

00:12:19Yeah, he watches a lot of film.

00:12:20He watches film all the time, sir.

00:12:20Put some credit on his name.

00:12:22Yeah.

00:12:22They have a really cool run design.

00:12:23We're going to be breaking it down on Wub tomorrow.

00:12:25Yeah.

00:12:26What is it, Kadic's Corner?

00:12:27No.

00:12:28Crawlers.

00:12:29What's cool about the run design?

00:12:30I'm just.

00:12:30They are so hard.

00:12:32They have so much misdirection, motions.

00:12:35They pull linemen and then they run the other way.

00:12:38They read all while doing that while.

00:12:40And Colton Joseph is a threat.

00:12:42And he can run.

00:12:42Yeah.

00:12:43It adds a dimension to it.

00:12:45Yeah.

00:12:46No, we're doing the, the game against USC.

00:12:50Like, the thing I walked away from, I was like,

00:12:52that was Wisconsin football again for the first time in five years.

00:12:55Yes.

00:12:55Like, both run and defense.

00:12:57Which is good for the big 10.

00:12:58Yes.

00:12:59So, the desk has a bunch of losers except for Dan.

00:13:01But we've got Kadic with Indiana.

00:13:03And then we've got Liam over there with UCLA.

00:13:05Yes, I said the desk.

00:13:06I didn't say the desk.

00:13:06I know, I know.

00:13:07No, I know.

00:13:08Just the desk is full of losers.

00:13:09The, the guys on the side.

00:13:10Liam, how are you feeling over there?

00:13:11I feel good.

00:13:12We're focused on Nevada.

00:13:13Um, yeah.

00:13:14Yeah.

00:13:15Okay.

00:13:15Well, what, what about Wisconsin?

00:13:17About this game?

00:13:17Yep.

00:13:18Uh, Wisconsin outright is why I like, I think Wisconsin wins like a 17, 10 game.

00:13:22I like Abu Sama in the run game.

00:13:24I think his explosiveness could pop off in this game with how much, how much, uh, you know,

00:13:30Iowa puts up defensively in the front.

00:13:32Like you could get to that second level and break one off Wisconsin's linebacking core

00:13:36and their front seven on defense.

00:13:38Absolutely nasty.

00:13:38Not having Moulton is such a big deal in this game.

00:13:41I think this really comes down to Colton Joseph.

00:13:43Just not turning it over multiple times.

00:13:45He's probably going to give them one.

00:13:46Don't do it twice.

00:13:47Yeah.

00:13:48Thrice.

00:13:48And Wisconsin, I think should win this game.

00:13:50That's what I'm saying.

00:13:51It's just like, can you avoid the Iowa has a knack and it's, I, I don't even think

00:13:56it's luck.

00:13:57I think it's just something that they coach into them.

00:13:59Like they get those weird big plays, punt returns, punt blocks.

00:14:03You can tell how excited Danny is to have Wisconsin back in there because there's,

00:14:06we have no business talking about this game this long.

00:14:09I mean, this is one.

00:14:10I didn't ask, I didn't ask Katie and Liam.

00:14:13I did.

00:14:14I didn't.

00:14:14I hadn't introduced them on the show yet.

00:14:16Hey, please fucking talk about Michigan for 99% of this show.

00:14:20No one gives a fuck about Michigan and your shitty quarterback you paid $13 million

00:14:24for and then the even shittier backup who's a legacy guy.

00:14:28And you just, you, you, you bogarted the show for 10 years.

00:14:32He tried to do it in this segment, Dan.

00:14:34Of course.

00:14:35Like we talked about Michigan's best defense in the country in this segment.

00:14:39You keep saying my team stinks in this segment.

00:14:41I haven't said that.

00:14:42You said that.

00:14:43Yeah.

00:14:44We talked about Michigan.

00:14:45They were like a national champion a couple of years.

00:14:46This is just Wisconsin, Iowa.

00:14:48Like we spent a lot of time on a really ugly, gross game.

00:14:52We were dissecting left fucking run.

00:14:55The, the, the offensive line, the way they move on the handoffs.

00:14:58That's all I'm saying.

00:14:59We, listen, we all have to get our flowers.

00:15:01Mississippi state had them for a little bit.

00:15:02A and M got them last year.

00:15:04Wisconsin's there right now, Dan.

00:15:05I'm okay.

00:15:06We still got to win this game.

00:15:07We still got to win this game.

00:15:08We still got to win this game.

00:15:08Can we move on now?

00:15:12Everybody.

00:15:12Okay.

00:15:13All right.

00:15:14All right.

00:15:14I didn't know if Dave wanted to say one more thing about Michigan.

00:15:17All right.

00:15:17Number six, Utah at Cincinnati, Utah minus six and a half.

00:15:20The over under 56 and a half.

00:15:22Now Utah stays undefeated.

00:15:24They beat Houston Cincinnati with the major upset over Texas tech Dave on this show.

00:15:28And, and every time we talk about, you know, you always have the emotional letdown,

00:15:31but both of these teams are technically on the chopping block with those emotional letdowns,

00:15:35a double emotional letdown.

00:15:36How are you feeling about this one?

00:15:38Yeah.

00:15:39So I guess they cross out.

00:15:40I'll take Cincinnati at home.

00:15:43Um, don't love it, but Utah is coming off that huge win.

00:15:47Uh, so, and so is Cincinnati, obviously, but Utah has to travel.

00:15:52So I'll take Cincinnati in the points.

00:15:53Brandon, I know you're, you're hot in the big 12 streets these days.

00:15:55Yeah, I am.

00:15:56I wanted to ask about the collision of a letdown spot from Utah and a look ahead spot.

00:16:02Yeah.

00:16:02Because you've got, you've got the big win last week on Saturday night,

00:16:06and then you've got BYU next week at 10 AM.

00:16:09Now they have to go on the road, but they're also going on the road to a team that already

00:16:12just upset somebody.

00:16:13So maybe that cancels everything out.

00:16:15I'm taking Cincinnati as well.

00:16:16I think Cincinnati is actually playing really well.

00:16:18They, they handled Texas tech.

00:16:20Like they didn't just beat them.

00:16:21They didn't hang around and get them at the end.

00:16:23They just, they smoked them.

00:16:24Uh, and I think Cincinnati is pretty good.

00:16:26And Utah still getting a whole lot of credit for a resume.

00:16:29That's still not all that good.

00:16:30They beat Houston 21-13.

00:16:31That was a 14-13 game.

00:16:33Houston let them score on purpose.

00:16:34Yeah.

00:16:34They, they, they fumbled at the end.

00:16:35Yeah.

00:16:36Cincinnati is really dangerous at home too.

00:16:38They're 5-0.

00:16:38I like Cincinnati to, I like the number with Cincinnati.

00:16:41Dan, what do you think?

00:16:42Can I just ask a question?

00:16:43Yes.

00:16:43What?

00:16:44Like, and, and again, I'm not.

00:16:47No, no, go ahead.

00:16:48Never mind.

00:16:49No, go ahead.

00:16:49Ask your question.

00:16:50No, no, I'm not asking.

00:16:51Never mind.

00:16:51No, you have to ask it now.

00:16:53No, no, go ahead.

00:16:54No, you have to now.

00:16:55No, I'm not asking.

00:16:56Yes, you do.

00:16:57No, I'm not asking.

00:16:58Why are you fidgeting so much?

00:16:59Ask a question.

00:17:00I've never seen you this nervous over asking a question or not.

00:17:03Just ask the question.

00:17:04Ask the damn question.

00:17:06Nope.

00:17:08I mean, I, you have to ask the question.

00:17:10Who was it against?

00:17:11Who, who was he about to piss off?

00:17:12I don't know.

00:17:13He wanted to talk before you said.

00:17:15It was when, it was when I said something.

00:17:17Right.

00:17:17But then when you were finished talking, he wanted to say something.

00:17:20Fine, you want the question?

00:17:20Yes.

00:17:22Why did we talk about Wisconsin, Iowa over, over Arizona, Texas Tech?

00:17:29Well, we're getting there.

00:17:30We're getting there, dude.

00:17:30Yeah, it's on the list.

00:17:31That's why I didn't ask the question.

00:17:33He had to flip the page.

00:17:35I didn't realize it was on the second page.

00:17:39That's why he was fidgeting, because he knew he was wrong.

00:17:43I'm taking the over in this game.

00:17:44I think both these offenses are going to be able to move the ball.

00:17:47I'm going to take the over.

00:17:49I'm going to take Cincinnati.

00:17:50I think that Utah could probably win by three, but I know, Brandon,

00:17:54you've been getting into the Big 12 world.

00:17:55I know I kind of made the joke that you're hot in the streets,

00:17:57but Utah fans are furious with you right now.

00:18:00Yeah, I just was going into last week.

00:18:02I said they hadn't beaten anybody.

00:18:03They didn't deserve to be number 10.

00:18:05Now they have beaten somebody, but like,

00:18:06I think this conference is way closer from like one to eight than,

00:18:09than any other league.

00:18:10They got bigger fish to fry than Brandon Walker.

00:18:12Yeah, I was going to say that.

00:18:13Yeah.

00:18:14That's how you know that he's, he's next up.

00:18:17If he's getting any,

00:18:18if he's getting any heat from Utah right now after the week McAfee.

00:18:22Why are you mad?

00:18:23Why are you mad, Walker?

00:18:24That wasn't a shot.

00:18:25That's a compliment.

00:18:26No, no, no.

00:18:26The fact that Utah,

00:18:27if any Utah fan is spending even a second with Brandon Walker

00:18:30after the McAfee week, that means you got some heat.

00:18:34Like you got it.

00:18:35Fair enough, fair enough.

00:18:35You're hot in the streets.

00:18:36What she was talking about is residual heat from like a couple of weeks ago.

00:18:39Well, no, but you're still catching it.

00:18:40I mean, I, I did see, uh, was it, it was from,

00:18:43I think your actual show account where you were just tweeting every single person talking about.

00:18:47That was about BYU.

00:18:48I know, but I'm just saying in general, like in the streets right now, he's,

00:18:51he's being talked about.

00:18:52I think McAfee's just got a mad at everybody.

00:18:53After all the McAfee stuff.

00:18:55He's doing it with BYU and the big 12 in general.

00:18:58The entire conference.

00:18:59The entire conference hates him right now.

00:19:01Yeah.

00:19:01Not just Utah.

00:19:01Yeah.

00:19:02But if he says anything bad about Utah, then the Utah fans, I will say that Brandon would

00:19:06probably go to Utah.

00:19:07If we had a show there, you'd probably go.

00:19:08Well, we've, we've been.

00:19:09No, I know.

00:19:10I'm saying now, like you're not scared of Utah.

00:19:12I loved going to Utah.

00:19:12Those are two.

00:19:13Those are two of the best crap.

00:19:15BYU and Utah.

00:19:16That's why we went.

00:19:17The Holy War is fucking awesome.

00:19:19Kadic, here's your moment.

00:19:20Now, listen, disgusting game last week.

00:19:22And Indiana is number four.

00:19:23Minnesota at number four.

00:19:24Indiana, Indiana minus 20 and a half.

00:19:26They over under 41 and a half.

00:19:27The reason we're talking about this is I want to know where you are with this Indiana

00:19:31team right now, Kadic.

00:19:32Because Josh Hoover, is he hurt?

00:19:34Is he not?

00:19:34He only had 81 yards last week to beat Michigan.

00:19:37They beat him 13 to six.

00:19:38Sig mentioned he may considering going to their, what, Grant Wilson's seventh year?

00:19:43Yeah.

00:19:43How are we feeling?

00:19:44Wait, you have what?

00:19:46What was that?

00:19:47Seventh year?

00:19:48Seventh year quarterback.

00:19:48Quarterback who's got a backup?

00:19:50Seventh year.

00:19:51Yeah.

00:19:51Why don't you go to that?

00:19:52He's like 50?

00:19:54Yeah, he's close to.

00:19:56Yeah, he said consider day.

00:19:57If you're your agent, would you be seventh year?

00:19:59Right now, I'd be in my eighth year.

00:20:01Okay.

00:20:02But yeah, last week was a disgusting game.

00:20:04I said this on Twitter.

00:20:05Like, we just couldn't figure it out on offense.

00:20:08Hoover, his accuracy has been a problem the last three weeks.

00:20:11We haven't been able to sustain.

00:20:13Three years.

00:20:14What'd he say?

00:20:15Three years.

00:20:15Oh, yeah.

00:20:16He wasn't overly accurate at TCU either.

00:20:18Okay.

00:20:18Well, he looked pretty good at the beginning of the year.

00:20:20We're playing absolutely not.

00:20:21Right.

00:20:21All right.

00:20:23Thank you, Brandon.

00:20:24You're welcome.

00:20:24Yeah, we have the sustained drives on offense.

00:20:26We got to get the run game going.

00:20:28We got to get in the film room.

00:20:29We got to get in the meetings and figure out what the fuck we're doing on offense.

00:20:32We do that.

00:20:33I think we take care of Minnesota.

00:20:35I don't really like that's a huge spread.

00:20:37I think it's like 20 and a half.

00:20:38It's a lot of points.

00:20:41Don't really love that.

00:20:42So, but I am going to take Indiana minus 20 and a half.

00:20:46I think Minnesota's defense is pretty good.

00:20:49And, but their offense is kind of poopy, but.

00:20:51Yeah.

00:20:52Dave.

00:20:52I mean, you Minnesota.

00:20:53I mean, Indiana.

00:20:55You guys got really close.

00:20:56You should be seven and oh.

00:20:58Are you confident in this Indiana team beating Minnesota?

00:21:01Yeah, I'm confident in them beating them, but it's a gigantic spread.

00:21:05Yeah.

00:21:05Almost as a spread that's telling me to bet on Indiana.

00:21:07If you ask me.

00:21:08Um, I'm not, I'm going to take Minnesota because I think Indiana struggled a bunch.

00:21:13They struggled versus Northwestern.

00:21:14Um, they certainly, in my opinion, Michigan should beaten them.

00:21:20So, uh, yeah, I'm going to take Minnesota.

00:21:22The points Indiana's offense really hasn't looked good the whole season.

00:21:26And unlike Michigan, which I complained about the quarterback, no time.

00:21:32Hoover has time.

00:21:33Hoover at times has open guys.

00:21:36He just stinks.

00:21:37So, uh, I don't know if that's fixable, whatever, but I'll take the points here with Minnesota,

00:21:42even though it kind of smells like a rat.

00:21:45Dan, what do you think?

00:21:46Yeah, it's a rat.

00:21:47Indiana.

00:21:47Easy.

00:21:48Listen, Minnesota last week was the spot for Minnesota.

00:21:52It was an incredible setup.

00:21:53They had a buy.

00:21:54They were at home against Iowa.

00:21:56That is the type of game that PJ Fleck wins routinely.

00:21:59Uh, this is the step up in class.

00:22:01If you think Indiana's offense is bad, wait till you see Minnesota's.

00:22:07So bad.

00:22:07Like, Minnesota's offense is really, really bad.

00:22:09They're, I think, like, 120th and third down conversion.

00:22:13Indiana's defense is elite.

00:22:15Indiana's defense is a top five unit in the, in the country.

00:22:19Josh Hoover just has to figure out how to be, I'll say the one nice thing about Josh Hoover.

00:22:25He's inaccurate, but at least the inaccuracies aren't going to the other team because that was his problem at TCU.

00:22:30He didn't fix the interception problem.

00:22:31He just is throwing it so far away from everyone.

00:22:33Well, I mean, he, he, he almost cost them the game against me.

00:22:35We, we, we, he threw a, a pick.

00:22:38It should, I thought it was gonna be a pick six, but we ran back a five just couldn't score.

00:22:42Yeah.

00:22:42No, I'm just saying in general, he has been so inaccurate.

00:22:45Neither team has been able to catch it this year.

00:22:47Yeah.

00:22:48Yeah.

00:22:48He throws it high.

00:22:49Yeah.

00:22:50Like out of bounds.

00:22:51Minnesota's defense is pretty good though.

00:22:53They're good.

00:22:54They played Iowa.

00:22:55I was offense.

00:22:56Can't do shit.

00:22:56No, but I mean, I mean that their offense is really bad.

00:22:58Drake Lindsey was not very good against Iowa, but Minnesota's defense can give them some

00:23:03issues.

00:23:03It's hard to tell who's what defense is really good in the big 10 because there's a lot of

00:23:07really bad offenses too.

00:23:09Yeah.

00:23:09It's like Minnesota's defense looked awesome.

00:23:11It's Iowa.

00:23:11They looked awesome against Dave's shit team and the quarterback that they keep throwing

00:23:15out there.

00:23:15Like there's, I think Indiana will win this game easily.

00:23:18I'm going to take Minnesota to stay within the number just because I mean, I know Minnesota's

00:23:22offense can't score, but if Josh Hoover is not healthy and Sig's not going to go to your

00:23:25seventh year guy, I mean, they're going to have a hard time scoring too.

00:23:28Brandon, who are you taking?

00:23:30Dave hit it right on the head.

00:23:31I mean, the minus 20 and a half, three touchdowns for a team that we have seen.

00:23:35They can't score three touchdowns.

00:23:37You got to bet Indiana here.

00:23:38I want to do the dance.

00:23:39I want to, I want to bet the Indiana under dance.

00:23:41I want to bet them to, to cover the spread and keep it under the number of 41 and a

00:23:45half.

00:23:46It tells me Minnesota can't score.

00:23:47I also think Minnesota's, Minnesota's act doesn't really play well on the road.

00:23:51Yes.

00:23:51I think they're completely a home team and I don't think they're going to be able to go

00:23:55on the road and do this.

00:23:56Plus I watched a healthy Mississippi state go into Minnesota and win by 25 points.

00:24:00I'm pretty sure Indiana can beat them by that much.

00:24:01Yeah.

00:24:01But Camario Taylor is a much better quarterback.

00:24:04They're there.

00:24:05They're there.

00:24:06Uh, yeah.

00:24:07Minnesota.

00:24:08Like, I don't think Minnesota scoring 10.

00:24:09Correct.

00:24:10Yeah, I don't.

00:24:11I don't, I think it's going to be like a 30 to seven, 30 to seven, maybe 30 to three.

00:24:18I think it's a spot where we come out of it.

00:24:20And a lot of people nationally are saying, why were we so worried about Indiana's office?

00:24:23Agreed.

00:24:23Yep.

00:24:23What do you think?

00:24:25Sometimes guy like me.

00:24:26Oh boy.

00:24:27Really just looks in the mirror and understand.

00:24:29Oh my goodness.

00:24:30I'm an idiot.

00:24:32That happened after Saturday, Sunday, Monday.

00:24:34Well, I was like, Indiana is not a playoff team, but they still make the playoff.

00:24:37What an idiotic sentence from me.

00:24:40Uh, Indiana is going to a playoff in honor of Choctober.

00:24:44I like Indiana money line.

00:24:46Oh, wow.

00:24:47Nice.

00:24:48Fire.

00:24:49Like Kate's like, yeah, that's my pick.

00:24:51That's my pick.

00:24:52Change his pick.

00:24:52All right.

00:24:53Let's go to the sec.

00:24:54Number 17, Florida playing number three, Georgia.

00:24:57This is in Atlanta.

00:24:58The spread is 11 and a half for Georgia over under 55 and a half.

00:25:01Brandon, the outdoor cocktail party is not outdoor this year.

00:25:04It's in Mercedes Benz in Atlanta.

00:25:05Um, we know both of these teams coming off of a buy.

00:25:09We've seen what's happened when Georgia's come off a buy.

00:25:10They lose to Auburn a couple of weeks ago, Florida beats Texas.

00:25:13How are you feeling about this rivalry game?

00:25:14Well, Florida is so up and down.

00:25:15Georgia is embarrassed right now and pissed off.

00:25:18So I would lean Georgia, but then I think about it.

00:25:20Does Florida have enough to keep this within 11 and a half points?

00:25:23Does Florida have enough to make this a fourth quarter game?

00:25:25Does Florida have enough putting all their eggs in this basket?

00:25:27I think the answer is yes.

00:25:29The coach is good.

00:25:30He's coming off a buy.

00:25:31I think you're going to get the best version of Florida.

00:25:33They're going to lose by like seven points.

00:25:34So I would lean Florida here.

00:25:35Well, this is also one of those games.

00:25:37It's kind of like with the Red River shootout.

00:25:38Like you never really fully know what's going to happen,

00:25:40no matter how good these teams are.

00:25:42But John Summerall hasn't even named a starting quarterback.

00:25:44That is a little bit alarming.

00:25:45No?

00:25:46Do y'all know, um, how, how many rivalries can you say this?

00:25:50I think this is a rivalry and I think Florida hates Georgia way more

00:25:53than Georgia hates Florida.

00:25:54Yeah.

00:25:54Georgia's playing for national champion.

00:25:56Right.

00:25:56But, but like there's, there's certain ones of those in the country where one

00:26:00team, it means more to them than it means to the other team.

00:26:02It's like, yeah.

00:26:03I feel like that is the case here.

00:26:05Dan, what do you think?

00:26:06Georgia's going to win.

00:26:07Georgia's going to win by margin.

00:26:09Uh, off a buy.

00:26:11Look, that Auburn game was bad.

00:26:12It was a bad game, but they should have, if you watch the game,

00:26:15they were better than Auburn.

00:26:17It wasn't one of those games where you're watching and you're like,

00:26:19oh my God, Georgia looks so bad because of this, this, and this.

00:26:23It's like, no, Georgia came out flat and then they made a couple mistakes

00:26:26and a couple turnovers and they got caught.

00:26:29Here are the stats that I threw out on Pick'Em.

00:26:32Uh, Kirby Smart, the, since 2020, he's 15-0 outright and 12-3 as a

00:26:37double digit favorite versus ranked teams.

00:26:39That would apply here.

00:26:41Also, the, uh, Florida, or sorry, Georgia Bulldogs, after a loss,

00:26:46the last five times in the regular season after a loss, they beat the,

00:26:49the, the team the next week by 14 plus.

00:26:52So, this is gonna be a Georgia smash spot for me.

00:26:55I think they're gonna, I think they're gonna fuck up Florida,

00:26:57take out a lot of frustration, off a buy, renewed energy.

00:27:00I'm taking Georgia.

00:27:01Dave?

00:27:02So, as Dan mentioned, we did this game on Pick'Em.

00:27:05Dan, I went in saying I have no opinion.

00:27:08Dan threw all those stats at me.

00:27:09I, I formed an opinion based on Dan.

00:27:12I will be taking Georgia, courtesy of Dan's statistics.

00:27:15No pressure.

00:27:16Yeah, no pressure at all.

00:27:17Kirby Smart's 8-2 against Florida, but Florida has covered two of the last three

00:27:20when the double digits, when they have double digit spreads.

00:27:23Again, this to me, and I said the same thing with Oklahoma and Texas,

00:27:25and I know it's two massively different games,

00:27:27but anytime a rivalry is a double digit spread like that,

00:27:30I feel like I have to take the underdog just to cover,

00:27:32because these two teams, they do hate each other.

00:27:34So, I'm gonna take Florida plus 11 and a half.

00:27:36All right, let's go to the game Dave really wanted to talk about.

00:27:38Number 22, Arizona.

00:27:39Number 13, Texas Tech.

00:27:40Texas Tech minus three and a half.

00:27:42The over under 54 and a half.

00:27:43Dave, Texas Tech loses their game.

00:27:45Everyone is pissed.

00:27:46Cody Campbell's out there talking shit.

00:27:48The coaches are talking shit.

00:27:49Everybody's incredibly pissed off about that loss.

00:27:52Arizona winning three consecutive games.

00:27:53Their only loss to BYU, two 6-1 teams.

00:27:56What do you think happens?

00:27:58Yeah, this is, I, if you have any belief in anything Texas Tech can do,

00:28:03I think you have to take Texas Tech here.

00:28:06They're coming off that disaster at Cincinnati.

00:28:09And like you said, they are saying it's the worst.

00:28:12The coach is like, it's the worst game I've ever been a part of.

00:28:15The booster's killing them.

00:28:16Everyone's killing everybody.

00:28:18You're going to get everything from Texas Tech.

00:28:20It is a early kickoff, noon kickoff.

00:28:22So, I'm not sure Arizona will get confused with the time zones.

00:28:26I think that's a 9 a.m. for them.

00:28:27I think everything here is pointing to Texas Tech in a bounce back.

00:28:31The spread certainly is close.

00:28:33That's giving Arizona a lot of credit.

00:28:35I haven't watched much Arizona football, but I'm going to take Texas Tech here

00:28:39in the bounce back spot.

00:28:40All spot related.

00:28:42Brandon, I mean, Arizona's offense has looked really good this year.

00:28:45Noah Fafita, the guy that nobody really talked about,

00:28:47and he's one of the best quarterbacks in the country.

00:28:49He's been there forever.

00:28:50I like Arizona to go win the game.

00:28:52And Texas Tech did lose.

00:28:54They were awful the other day, but it was kind of just who they've been this year.

00:28:58They just haven't been overly impressive at all.

00:29:00They had one impressive game a couple of weeks ago,

00:29:02but they haven't strung it together very much at all.

00:29:05I think Arizona goes on the road.

00:29:06I like the coach.

00:29:07I like Arizona to win the game.

00:29:08Dan, I know college football math, especially in this season,

00:29:12that everything is so crazy doesn't always work.

00:29:14But Arizona did beat Cincinnati 34-7, that 27-point win,

00:29:18and then we saw what happened with Texas Tech.

00:29:19Does that play into this for you at all?

00:29:21No, I'm going to take Texas Tech because of this spot.

00:29:23Listen, Cody Campbell is, it's essentially an NFL version of like the owner

00:29:28saying everyone's on the chopping block.

00:29:31And Texas Tech is not, I mean, they're not what they were yet last year.

00:29:35We all know that.

00:29:36But I still think they're a talented team.

00:29:38And at home, weird time like Dave said.

00:29:41I'm going to take Texas Tech minus three and a half for this one.

00:29:46Blutman, what do you think?

00:29:47I'm going to take the over in this game.

00:29:49I really think you can't sleep on that Arizona passing attack

00:29:52and what they could do pushing the ball downfield vertically.

00:29:56I think that that's the difference in this game.

00:29:58I lean Arizona, but I like the over more.

00:30:00Kadic?

00:30:00Speaking of, I mean, Arizona's passing attack, they averaged 310 yards

00:30:04passing a game, but Texas Tech's pass rush is going to show a lot

00:30:09about if Arizona can push the ball down the field.

00:30:12A.J. Holmes is an interior guy that makes it really hard for quarterbacks

00:30:16to step up, so that's going to be the biggest test of this game.

00:30:19Brandon, what are you looking at him like that for?

00:30:22I'm just looking at him.

00:30:22You're talking.

00:30:23The way you sat up, it was like you were impressed.

00:30:25I don't know that I like Mr. I'm bringing all the stats, Katie.

00:30:28I love that.

00:30:28I love it.

00:30:29I knew there was something over there he didn't like.

00:30:31I watched the little glimmer.

00:30:32I don't know if I like that.

00:30:34All right.

00:30:35I like you pouring beer all over your chest.

00:30:37I don't know if I like their averaging 311 yards per game Kadic.

00:30:41But that's just a fact.

00:30:42That's just me.

00:30:43That's just me.

00:30:43He's different on the road than he is in studio.

00:30:46It's two different Kadics.

00:30:47We know that.

00:30:48I said a couple weeks ago that I thought Texas Tech was, as a pretender,

00:30:51they had slid by a couple teams they probably shouldn't have.

00:30:54I'm going to take Arizona to cover.

00:30:55I think both of these teams are very close.

00:30:57Being in Lubbock in the daytime doesn't bother me near as much.

00:31:00If it was night, I would take Texas Tech, but I'm going to take Arizona.

00:31:03Let's go to the Dark Horse Parlay presented by DraftKings.

00:31:05By the way, guys, we hit last week.

00:31:07We did?

00:31:08We hit for like the first time in years, I think.

00:31:11Let's go.

00:31:11So let's keep it.

00:31:12Oh, it was two weeks ago.

00:31:13Excuse me.

00:31:14Two weeks ago.

00:31:14Well, we were on the road last week.

00:31:15Sorry.

00:31:46The crown is yours.

00:31:48All right, Dave, who are you taking this week?

00:31:51So these guys have been on my contender list, I believe, before.

00:31:55And I've been saying it for a while.

00:31:57I haven't bet a future on it.

00:31:59I probably should have.

00:31:59But Northwestern plus three and a half at Oregon.

00:32:02And now you can look at it and be like ranked team versus unranked.

00:32:05Unranked is favored.

00:32:06I bet last week I had Illinois against Oregon.

00:32:10Oregon is Oregon.

00:32:12They're not very good.

00:32:13They haven't been good in one game all season.

00:32:16I think Northwestern is pretty freaking good.

00:32:18So give me the field goal.

00:32:20I think Northwestern goes in and beats Oregon, who is a dumpster fire right now.

00:32:25All right, Kadic, you're next.

00:32:26I think a Navy plus 30 and a half.

00:32:28Oh, God.

00:32:29I absolutely love why.

00:32:32The sounds that YouTube has made.

00:32:33This is one of my favorite games to watch.

00:32:34Plus 30 and a half.

00:32:35You think a look ahead spot?

00:32:38It's such a fun offense.

00:32:41I just love watching the game.

00:32:42I think they keep it close.

00:32:43Yeah, the spot is right.

00:32:45I don't know if you did that on purpose.

00:32:46What?

00:32:47He doesn't even know he did it.

00:32:48Notre Dame's playing Miami next week.

00:32:50That's a good spot.

00:32:51A look ahead spot.

00:32:53A look ahead spot.

00:32:53We're learning.

00:32:54We're learning.

00:32:55I was screaming it.

00:32:56Look ahead spot.

00:32:57Good spot.

00:32:58Look ahead spot.

00:32:59I was screaming it.

00:33:00All right, now, Kadic, tell us what a look ahead spot is.

00:33:02Yeah, when you don't play well in this game, when you're looking forward to the next game,

00:33:07because you want to play well in that game.

00:33:09He's learning.

00:33:11I love that.

00:33:12All right, Brandon.

00:33:12And there's no way to avoid it.

00:33:14No.

00:33:14It's impossible.

00:33:16Like, the coaches point out, coaches point doesn't matter.

00:33:18Can't avoid it.

00:33:20It's in their head.

00:33:22Notre Dame Miami has been in their head since August.

00:33:24This is good.

00:33:24Why are you putting your head down?

00:33:26This is good for you.

00:33:27This means that they're looking ahead to Miami.

00:33:29Oh, I'm saying that, see, this is when you guys get all pissed off.

00:33:33Nobody said anything.

00:33:34It's because when you're, oh, my God, when you're playing, you don't think about that

00:33:38week.

00:33:39Yes, you do.

00:33:39No, you don't.

00:33:40No, you don't.

00:33:41You think about, because every day in practice, you're getting ready for.

00:33:45Kadic, we have gone through this a thousand times.

00:33:48There is a chance you didn't even know who you're playing the morning of.

00:33:52You are a grunt offensive lineman with very few brain cells.

00:33:57So, every day that week, what do you think we're watching?

00:34:00Looney Tunes?

00:34:00You were not getting caught in the look-at spot.

00:34:03So, we're not watching the game we're playing's film that week.

00:34:07So, I don't know who we're playing.

00:34:08So, we're not watching the film of the game we're playing that week?

00:34:12But you know you are, but you know what the schedule is and you're like, Navy can't

00:34:16beat us.

00:34:17I'm just like mentally getting ready for Miami.

00:34:20Never once.

00:34:21Never once in my life.

00:34:22Yeah.

00:34:23Never once in my life.

00:34:23Oh, the party after Notre Dame.

00:34:26Yeah, I think about going to my parents' RV after the game and drinking beers.

00:34:30Yeah, we're going to get drunk.

00:34:31Oh, the chicks are going to be like-

00:34:33I don't think about the game in two weeks until I walk in the building on Monday.

00:34:37But can you admit that maybe you're not the only person that we're talking about,

00:34:41that the whole team is looking-

00:34:42Sure.

00:34:43Okay.

00:34:44It's also coaches.

00:34:45But you're talking to me.

00:34:46Coaches are going to like-

00:34:49Notre Dame coach, a Notre Dame coach right now is thinking a lot more about Miami than

00:34:54they are in a Navy.

00:34:54100%.

00:34:55I would say like, yeah.

00:34:56Yeah.

00:34:56So, look ahead spot.

00:34:58Yeah.

00:34:58Maybe for one go.

00:34:59Okay, Brandon, what's your pick?

00:35:00Not to mention, like they may not be putting things in the game plan.

00:35:04Correct.

00:35:04It's like we're not going to just get in, get out.

00:35:07Pull them back.

00:35:07Because they don't want it on film for Notre Dame.

00:35:10It's all positive for you.

00:35:11That makes sense.

00:35:11Sure.

00:35:11So, some of it is strategic, not just emotional.

00:35:14Yeah.

00:35:14You're learning more every week.

00:35:16Every week.

00:35:16He's still disagreeing to a certain point.

00:35:17Still a rookie.

00:35:18Still a rookie.

00:35:18Yeah.

00:35:18Still a rookie.

00:35:19We're going to teach you.

00:35:19Still a rookie.

00:35:21We'll teach him how to play football.

00:35:22Go ahead, Brandon.

00:35:23Mine's in the ACC.

00:35:25SMU's going on the road.

00:35:26Syracuse, different team with their quarterback.

00:35:28He was gone for a month.

00:35:29He comes back.

00:35:30They end up beating North Carolina on the road.

00:35:32They can score points with their quarterback, which is why I think they keep up with SMU

00:35:35here.

00:35:36Anginelli.

00:35:37Syracuse plus 10 and a half.

00:35:39I know we already talked about this game and we were split.

00:35:42So, I'm sure some people like this pick.

00:35:43Some people don't.

00:35:44I'm going to take Minnesota plus 20 and a half just because I don't think Indiana can score

00:35:47that many points with a hurt Josh Hoover if he's going to play.

00:35:49If he's not, I assume he's going to.

00:35:51I mean, he had 86 yards last week.

00:35:53He ain't hurt.

00:35:54He might be.

00:35:54He ain't hurt.

00:35:55I actually asked Kadic that this morning when he walked in.

00:35:57I was like, so is he actually hurt or is Sig just saying that as an excuse?

00:35:59He didn't give me an answer, but his face isn't at all.

00:36:01Yeah, I mean, it could be both.

00:36:03Just both?

00:36:04I don't think it could be both.

00:36:05Is he hurt or is he not?

00:36:06I don't think he's hurt.

00:36:08Okay, so.

00:36:09He might be injured.

00:36:10Yeah, he might be a little dinged up.

00:36:12All right.

00:36:12So, we'll see.

00:36:13Injury is like when you're out.

00:36:15Hurt, banged up, you can play.

00:36:18Everybody's playing a little bit.

00:36:19Week eight of college football.

00:36:20So, go to DraftKings.

00:36:22Let's see what the odds are.

00:36:23Like I said, we hit a couple weeks ago the last time we did this.

00:36:25Plus 1212.

00:36:27So, use promo code.

00:36:27You only get a hit really like one to win a season.

00:36:30Yeah.

00:36:31And we hit a couple weeks ago.

00:36:32So, let's try to run it back.

00:36:33Let's go to the Goat of the Week presented by Reese's.

00:36:37Go ahead and give Brandon some of those.

00:36:38It's Halloween week.

00:36:39The best candy in the game.

00:36:41It is the official partner of Barstool Sports.

00:36:43Reese's really is the best.

00:36:44Like my son, he's three.

00:36:45We're going to be taking trick or treating.

00:36:46If he gets any in his bag, I'm eating.

00:36:48I'm eating.

00:36:48Oh, yeah.

00:36:49Every week brings another.

00:36:50Bosto stole them from his kids.

00:36:52Yeah, Bosto.

00:36:52Oh, that's right.

00:36:53Caught on Fanta's live stream.

00:36:55And that was before Reese's was a partner of Barstool.

00:36:57Yeah.

00:36:58He was just doing it for the love of the game.

00:36:59Mm-hmm.

00:36:59Just stealing it from his kids.

00:37:00So good, you'll steal it from your kids.

00:37:02Yeah.

00:37:03On a fan of live stream.

00:37:05Every week brings another chance for players to cement their legacy as they go.

00:37:08But while the debate rages on about who's the best on the field,

00:37:11there's zero debate in the candy aisle.

00:37:12Reese's is the undisputed Goat of Candy dominating the game with unbeatable rich chocolate

00:37:16and peanut butter.

00:37:17So whether you're gearing up for kickoff or watching from the couch,

00:37:20bring the ultimate MVP to the game day spread,

00:37:22because everything happens for a Reese's.

00:37:24All right, Dave, who is your GOAT this week?

00:37:26I was going to give it a bad GOAT to Jason Beck

00:37:29and the offensive coordinator at Michigan who's been a disaster.

00:37:32But I went positive GOAT, Lenora Sellers.

00:37:34Mm-hmm.

00:37:35And that touchdown run he had against Tennessee was one of the best plays I've ever seen.

00:37:41I think it was the best play this season.

00:37:43Yep.

00:37:43Absolutely.

00:37:44You know, it reminds me like the Randall cutting him in a weird way when he got knocked down

00:37:48but didn't fall down, still threw the touchdown pass.

00:37:50Obviously, it was a run.

00:37:52But holy cow.

00:37:53Like, what balance, what athleticism.

00:37:57Just an incredible play.

00:37:58Uh, so he is my GOAT of the week.

00:38:00Dan?

00:38:01Yeah, that was unbelievable.

00:38:02I mean, there's like two guys that can make that type of play at the goal line,

00:38:06uh, quarterback position.

00:38:07All right, my GOAT of the week.

00:38:09It actually could be, it actually was a bad GOAT and now it's a good GOAT.

00:38:13It's our guy Mutt.

00:38:14Southwick Trophy.

00:38:16Went missing in action for two weeks, for two days after the game.

00:38:20This is a picture that someone took and sent us.

00:38:23Look at Mutt.

00:38:24He was so nervous.

00:38:25He was walking around the stadium with this trophy.

00:38:28Look at everyone looking at him like, what the hell is this guy doing?

00:38:31He just left the trophy on the sideline and like said, oh yes, someone from UConn took it.

00:38:37They said it's fine.

00:38:38We didn't know where it was for two days.

00:38:40I finally got a call.

00:38:41They're like, we found the trophy in the locker room.

00:38:43The trophy's safe.

00:38:44But Mutt, it cracked me up seeing everyone, like all the pictures and updates.

00:38:48We put him in a bad spot, Dave, and he didn't deliver.

00:38:52Yeah, no, he's not, he's not really good at anything.

00:38:56Like he, that is Mutt's calling card, bad at everything.

00:38:59When I saw where he left the trophy, I knew we were in trouble right off the bat.

00:39:02Yeah.

00:39:03I tweeted instantly.

00:39:03I'm like, that looks safe.

00:39:04Like, you just stand with the trophy, hand it to the winning team.

00:39:08That's all he had to do.

00:39:10And not surprisingly, he couldn't do it.

00:39:12I will say that Mutt, like he took it very seriously that he lost the trophy.

00:39:16He was freaking out because I got a call, I got the call Monday morning that the trophy

00:39:20had been found.

00:39:21And part of the call, the people were like, hey, did you know that Mutt is, he emailed

00:39:27the SID, being like, asking for comment on the trophy and saying he was driving down to

00:39:33the press conference.

00:39:33So, Mutt was, he took it seriously.

00:39:35I got to give him credit for that.

00:39:36I'm happy it's back.

00:39:37It was very fun.

00:39:38I also, before the show, when we were all in the RV and he was asking, where do I put

00:39:42it?

00:39:42Yeah.

00:39:43We did say, we'll just get it to the sidelines.

00:39:45So, he did like the one track mind.

00:39:47Yeah.

00:39:47But throughout that show, I would look over to my right and see him.

00:39:50All he could think about was that trophy.

00:39:51Oh, yeah.

00:39:51He was so nervous.

00:39:53So, the fact that we found it was great.

00:39:54Yeah, it ended up being a perfect story.

00:39:55We found the trophy.

00:39:56All right, Brad.

00:39:56We weren't asking him to split the atom.

00:39:58No.

00:39:58It wasn't the toughest assignment of all time.

00:40:01But in his head, it was, Dave.

00:40:03That's the thing.

00:40:03It's like, he was so nervous.

00:40:04But it's-

00:40:05He's a failure of a human.

00:40:07It's, it's a, he is my go to the week though, because it was, it was a great storyline

00:40:11and everything's good and he found the trophy.

00:40:14Yeah.

00:40:14It's recovered.

00:40:15It's fine.

00:40:15So, we'll try again next year.

00:40:17Brandon, go.

00:40:19My go to the week is a temporarily sad story that will end up in great triumph and glory

00:40:24for Mississippi State University.

00:40:26What are you laughing at?

00:40:27Nothing.

00:40:27Continue.

00:40:29Go ahead.

00:40:30It's Kamario Taylor.

00:40:31Dave, if you want to talk about a guy we've talked about who barely has played

00:40:34this season.

00:40:35Like we, I know we talked about Wisconsin for 10 minutes.

00:40:38Kamario Taylor's played like three games and we talk about him every week.

00:40:41Four.

00:40:41Who was your quarterback that you said was going to win the Super Bowl at one point?

00:40:45You skipped the national championship and went straight to the Super Bowl after like

00:40:47two weeks.

00:40:47He threw for 600 yards against-

00:40:50I actually think we talked about him more than he's played minutes in a game this year.

00:40:53Kamario Taylor is my goat.

00:40:55He is, America has lost this week when he got ruled out for the season.

00:40:59Turf toe will get you.

00:41:00It's sad.

00:41:01It's incredibly sad.

00:41:02Mississippi State was on the way to the playoff.

00:41:04And this year, it is a lost year.

00:41:06But now, we get to recruit around Kamario Taylor.

00:41:09He is going to be back.

00:41:10He's going to be an incredibly rich man in Starkville, Mississippi next year.

00:41:13And we're going to build receivers and running backs and offensive line around him.

00:41:16It's an exciting time as we build our roster for 2027 and around Kamario Taylor who will

00:41:21be back in Mississippi State.

00:41:22He is the GOAT.

00:41:23Everybody knows he's the best quarterback in the country.

00:41:25Has anybody seen the difference in us playing when we have and when we don't?

00:41:28He's the best quarterback in the country.

00:41:29There is so much pressure on Mississippi State to keep this kid.

00:41:35Like, if he, and I don't want to talk about it, but if he transfers, it's the end of the

00:41:40school.

00:41:41You're done.

00:41:41Forever.

00:41:42He's going to be taken care of.

00:41:44His family loves Mississippi State.

00:41:45He loves Mississippi State.

00:41:46He's going to be a very happy.

00:41:47I'm rooting for you.

00:41:49I'm rooting for him to stay.

00:41:51You're lying.

00:41:51Because we lose a program.

00:41:53Like, we all have our teams, ups, downs, roots.

00:41:55If he goes.

00:41:57It's over.

00:41:57Done.

00:41:58Curtains.

00:41:59You might as well give him the death penalty.

00:42:01Old SMU.

00:42:01It's done.

00:42:02Pack it up.

00:42:03Pack the program up.

00:42:05Concentrate on baseball.

00:42:06If he transfers, done.

00:42:09Kaput.

00:42:09He loves Mississippi State.

00:42:10I did love the YAC segment where you had to rank the teams you don't want him to go

00:42:14to.

00:42:14Yeah.

00:42:15He loves Mississippi State.

00:42:15And listen.

00:42:16For everyone at home right now who's like, oh, this stinks.

00:42:19He's out for the year.

00:42:20This is the last we're going to talk about Kamario Taylor.

00:42:23Don't worry.

00:42:24Tune in next week.

00:42:24We will still talk about Kamario Taylor.

00:42:26He's wearing a super Kamario shirt.

00:42:28I mean.

00:42:29I actually don't mind building in a portal segment on him every week.

00:42:34Yeah.

00:42:35Kamario watch.

00:42:36That's a good call, Dave.

00:42:37We need a Kamario watch.

00:42:38Yeah, we got to have like a meter.

00:42:39Yes.

00:42:40Yeah.

00:42:40I like that.

00:42:42Brandon, you good with that?

00:42:43You can talk about him every week now.

00:42:44Dave.

00:42:45He'll be back next year at Mississippi State.

00:42:46He's going to be a very happy man.

00:42:47A very rich man.

00:42:48And it's going to.

00:42:49Mississippi State, we got money.

00:42:51We got money.

00:42:51Would he be richer at say like LSU?

00:42:53Dave.

00:42:54No.

00:42:54He'd have to play for Lane Kiffin.

00:42:55Lane's an asshole.

00:42:56Yeah.

00:42:56Did you see the clip where he said that he also likes LSU?

00:43:00I'm sorry.

00:43:01Mario said that?

00:43:02Yes.

00:43:02Hey.

00:43:03Hey, motherfuckers.

00:43:04Hey.

00:43:04Did you see his statement this week?

00:43:07When he said, Mississippi State is home.

00:43:09I love my team.

00:43:10I love everybody.

00:43:11Mississippi State is home.

00:43:11That's what he said.

00:43:12That's what he said in his official injury statement.

00:43:15He has to say that.

00:43:16In it.

00:43:16No, he doesn't.

00:43:17Marcel Taylor LSU.

00:43:20He's nice to people.

00:43:22He is a very nice man.

00:43:23Yeah, he's a nice guy.

00:43:25I, I, Dave's kind of bullshitting.

00:43:28I actually am rooting very hard for you to keep him.

00:43:31Because I think it's not, not just for you.

00:43:33I think it's bad for college football.

00:43:35It is.

00:43:35That is the key.

00:43:35Like that's, I was rooting for, for, for LaGrie to stay at Oregon State.

00:43:39I'm rooting for Camaro Taylor to stay at Mississippi State.

00:43:42I think it's a bad thing for college football when you have guys pop and then they immediately

00:43:46leave.

00:43:46When he was.

00:43:47Mario Taylor was a LSU fan growing up.

00:43:51From me.

00:43:52Dan, it was.

00:43:52When he was still playing and he was playing really well.

00:43:54I hated the storyline.

00:43:55Like, where is he going to be next year?

00:43:56Oh, it's worse.

00:43:56But now that he's hurt, it does make it a little bit more reasonable.

00:44:00He's staying.

00:44:01He's staying.

00:44:01Brandi, he's staying.

00:44:02Working theory that Brandon Walker sacrificed Camario's toe to be number one college football

00:44:08personality.

00:44:10Oh.

00:44:11You?

00:44:12That's happening on the internet.

00:44:14From you.

00:44:15From you.

00:44:16Of all the people.

00:44:17Her I get.

00:44:18Dan, that's what they do.

00:44:19I get it.

00:44:19Dave, that's what he does.

00:44:20But you?

00:44:21Well, you do a solo show.

00:44:23Well, I didn't write that.

00:44:25Also, to be fair, that's the bill I was sold.

00:44:28Yeah.

00:44:29It's a really good point.

00:44:31All around.

00:44:32Everyone's making a really good point right now.

00:44:35I didn't write that.

00:44:36And it was, it is a solo show.

00:44:38Okay.

00:44:39But it's not, because I got him.

00:44:40This is a tightrope I got to walk you.

00:44:42Let me just clear it up.

00:44:43Casey, to you it's a solo show, to you it's not.

00:44:46But it's the same show we're talking about.

00:44:49To be fair, there was also like the Gruden show was happening, so I get that.

00:44:53But that was the bill that I was, I was.

00:44:55Dave's got a meeting.

00:44:55Let's go.

00:44:57I mean, it also like, I mean, he was on mostly sports.

00:45:00You know, that's, that's not a solo show.

00:45:02No, no, no, no.

00:45:03But that's not.

00:45:04The Yak has 10, 10 people.

00:45:06I'm almost positive.

00:45:07Somebody on, I was watching the clip.

00:45:09Someone, I think it may have been Conant Griffin being like, isn't it?

00:45:12Well, I didn't know there's one person on mostly sports.

00:45:16This is the craziest part, Dave, too, knowing how it all works.

00:45:20Brandon actually wrote that paragraph, too.

00:45:22They asked you to submit it.

00:45:23Yes.

00:45:24His agent paid for it, actually.

00:45:25Like, it slipped him some money.

00:45:27That's why his agent was at UConn last week, getting the, getting, getting it all written

00:45:31up.

00:45:31Yes, that's why he was there.

00:45:33Yeah, that's why he was there.

00:45:34Okay, go ahead, Kadic.

00:45:36Brandon, hopefully this will make you feel better.

00:45:38Grab a Reese's.

00:45:39Because you're my goat this week, Brandon.

00:45:40Oh, God.

00:45:41Speaking of Kamario Taylor, I mean, you just experienced loss after loss after loss,

00:45:46let down after let down, injury here, injury there.

00:45:50I don't know, actually.

00:45:51But, you know, you walk in every day with a smile on your face, positive attitude.

00:45:55You're so nice to everyone all the time.

00:45:58Even though life is so unfair to you, you give everyone the benefit of the doubt.

00:46:03Everyone online you're so nice to.

00:46:05You interact with everyone online.

00:46:07So that's why you're my goat.

00:46:08You just come in with a positive mindset, a smile.

00:46:11You're so happy to see all your coworkers every day.

00:46:14So that's why you're my goat, Brandon.

00:46:15So eat the Reese's.

00:46:16What are you doing?

00:46:17I'm giving you your flowers.

00:46:18There we go.

00:46:19See?

00:46:20Being nice.

00:46:20And I, like I said, I was going to talk about how you were the number one college football

00:46:24personality in the whole world and the biggest personality at Barstool Sports, according

00:46:28to awful announcing here.

00:46:29But Dave Portnoy did it off the top of the show.

00:46:30So I don't even have to talk about it here.

00:46:32He used laughing emojis, Casey.

00:46:34But I was going to, listen, I did not think it was going to come up.

00:46:37I was going to use it in my Reese's segment to give you your flowers.

00:46:40There we go, Brandon.

00:46:41But when Dave did it, listen, Dave did it for me.

00:46:42Yeah.

00:46:43I didn't have to do it right off the top.

00:46:44Like a double goat?

00:46:46Well, it was going to, it would have made more sense.

00:46:48It would have made more sense.

00:46:49But listen, I just want to make sure Brandon got his flowers.

00:46:53You okay?

00:46:53Thank you for allowing us all be a part of yours.

00:46:55Shut up, Brandon.

00:46:56William, William.

00:46:57Thank you for giving us an existence.

00:46:59Thank you for sitting here with us and taking time to breathe the same air as us, Brandon.

00:47:04Really appreciate it.

00:47:05Let's go to Flash IV.

00:47:06Y'all just can't stand it, can you?

00:47:08You can't fucking stand it.

00:47:09I'm happy for you.

00:47:10I'm happy for you.

00:47:11You can't fucking stand it.

00:47:12I love it.

00:47:13I was happy for you.

00:47:14You sat, you told me you loved me on camera about all of this.

00:47:18I want you to be happy.

00:47:19We're giving you your flowers.

00:47:21Well, stop talking to me like that in his voice.

00:47:23Let's go to Flash IV presented.

00:47:25Our flash week presented by Body Armor Flash IV, which is packed with electrolytes delivering

00:47:29faster, longer-lasting hydration without any artificial dyes, flavors, or sweeteners.

00:47:33Whether training, traveling, just feeling the heat, or cheering on your team, stay hydrated.

00:47:37Work hard and hydrate hard with Body Armor Flash IV.

00:47:39Grab it at 7-11.

00:47:40So, Brandon, I'm sorry to have to do this, but I do have to turn this over to Dan and

00:47:44Dave,

00:47:44because we have a little bit of a controversy.

00:47:45Uh-oh.

00:47:46Keep fouling it on.

00:47:47We look at the standings right now.

00:47:49So, Kadic, Dan, and Brandon are all tied at 5-3, okay?

00:47:54What was that?

00:47:55Hold your horses.

00:47:55No, hold your horses.

00:47:56Hold your horses.

00:47:57Hold your horses.

00:47:58Hold your horses.

00:47:58Okay?

00:47:59Hold on.

00:48:00Dave and I, we're not doing very well.

00:48:01But, so this was brought across the desk in the production group text.

00:48:05So, last week, your pick was South Carolina.

00:48:08Yeah.

00:48:09On the show, you said minus two and a half.

00:48:11However, when you texted and the graphic said minus three and a half.

00:48:15So, why is South Carolina favored over Tennessee?

00:48:17South Carolina minus two and a half against Tennessee.

00:48:19So, you either won by the hook or lost by the hook.

00:48:21Okay.

00:48:22So, I was going to let, no, I was going to let.

00:48:23Two and a half.

00:48:23It was not three and a half.

00:48:24Okay.

00:48:24I was going to let Dave and Dan decide because the graphic didn't say it.

00:48:27No, you won by the half.

00:48:28It was never three and a half.

00:48:29Yeah.

00:48:30It was never three and a half?

00:48:30No, it was never three and a half.

00:48:31Okay.

00:48:32So, Brandon's text was wrong.

00:48:34We had to make sure.

00:48:35There's a lot of lines.

00:48:36I look at a lot of numbers.

00:48:37I'll probably text them.

00:48:37No, it was never three.

00:48:38Okay.

00:48:38All right.

00:48:39So, that's good.

00:48:39So, then you are still tied with at first.

00:48:41So, I just wanted to make sure we got that out of the way because the video does look a

00:48:44little

00:48:44bit confusing.

00:48:44So, Brandon and I will start with you.

00:48:46Who is your pick this week?

00:48:47Yeah, we already talked about the game.

00:48:48I just think Florida keeps it close.

00:48:50Oh.

00:48:50I like Florida plus 11 and a half.

00:48:52I like Florida to hang in there in this game.

00:48:55We already talked about the game.

00:48:56Georgia.

00:48:56Okay.

00:48:57Head to head.

00:48:58Head to head.

00:48:59That's good.

00:49:00I mean, we're tied.

00:49:00We got to start separating.

00:49:01Body armor, Flash IV pickoff.

00:49:03All right, Dave, who are you taking?

00:49:05So, I'm taking Texas to absolutely molly walk Mississippi State.

00:49:09I was against Mississippi State.

00:49:12I think it was 31-0, whoever they lost to.

00:49:15But without the quarterback, they are just, they can't move the ball.

00:49:17They can't do anything.

00:49:20Texas will score.

00:49:21So, all they got to do is really get three touchdowns, 24 points.

00:49:25They cover this.

00:49:25I think they probably win by 40.

00:49:27So, I like Texas.

00:49:29Brandon, are you going to go to Austin for this one?

00:49:31No, I'm not going to go to Austin.

00:49:32Well, I mean, you, I didn't know if you.

00:49:34This is a revenge game.

00:49:35I know.

00:49:36No, no, no.

00:49:37Because, I mean, it is like.

00:49:38That wasn't even arched.

00:49:39So, no.

00:49:39The year anniversary of, you know, one of the best photos in your parcel history.

00:49:45That, there's that.

00:49:46That's where it is.

00:49:47So, I mean, I had to bring that up.

00:49:50I mean, this is, it was an important part of your career here.

00:49:53Can I just say.

00:49:53One of my favorite overall videos.

00:49:56After video review, the ruling is a touchdown.

00:50:01Right in the replay.

00:50:03Right in his face.

00:50:07Right in your fucking face.

00:50:10Hardy, very famous musician, was standing right beside me.

00:50:15He was right beside me.

00:50:15One of the such as that is you running down the sidelines with your pants falling down.

00:50:18I mean, it was the whole thing.

00:50:20I'm sorry.

00:50:20We scored a touchdown to go up 17.

00:50:22You're not going to run with your pants falling down when you score a touchdown to go up 17 points

00:50:25in the fourth quarter?

00:50:26I gave you credit.

00:50:27I said, it's one of my favorite videos of all time.

00:50:28Soon as we scored that touchdown, I looked at the clock.

00:50:31I said, wow.

00:50:31I didn't realize there were nine and a half minutes left.

00:50:34It really wasn't right.

00:50:34You also, you went viral.

00:50:35It's the whole point.

00:50:36Right?

00:50:37Well, winning the game would have been better than that.

00:50:39Well, okay.

00:50:39I'm just saying.

00:50:39I'm just right.

00:50:40All right.

00:50:41Who hasn't picked yet?

00:50:42Kadic, go ahead.

00:50:43Yeah.

00:50:43Dave already took this in the dark horse.

00:50:44I'm taking Northwestern plus three and a half.

00:50:46Oregon looks like shit at home.

00:50:48I think Northwestern gets done in Autzen.

00:50:50All right.

00:50:50So, I know that USC has not looked great, but Ohio State not having Julian San, Luke Fahey getting his

00:50:56first road start in the Coliseum.

00:50:57I know six and a half is not a lot of points.

00:50:59Liam, how are you feeling about that?

00:51:00You're an L.A. guy.

00:51:01How do you feel about USC right now?

00:51:03I mean, USC just is what it is in the Lincoln Riley era.

00:51:06They show up for games, and they look like they're ready, and they look like they're prepared, and then they

00:51:10get hit once, and they're so frail.

00:51:13They turtle.

00:51:14They're literally turtles.

00:51:15They shell themselves.

00:51:17They're a pathetic little football team, and I hope Lincoln Riley is there for a long time.

00:51:22I don't know.

00:51:22I think Ohio State really just needs to assert the run in this game.

00:51:25I think they should use a heavy dose of Wildcat.

00:51:27Legend Bay played quarterback in high school.

00:51:29They should use him more.

00:51:31You just love Lincoln Riley so much.

00:51:33I absolutely do love him.

00:51:34I adore him.

00:51:35He's one of my favorite people in college football.

00:51:37Yeah.

00:51:37If this was on the road, I wouldn't take him.

00:51:38They play different at the Coliseum, obviously, and then having a first start on the road.

00:51:42I'm just going to take USC to hang in with the points.

00:51:44Let's go to real contenders and real pretenders presented by High News.

00:51:48Dave, I will start with you.

00:51:49Who's your week nine pretender or contender?

00:51:52Lots of talk about this team from me, and Katie just picked them.

00:51:54I've already mentioned them in the DraftKings Dark Horse, but this is a definite, if you're

00:51:59going to be a contender, you got to go into a weak Oregon, you got to finish the job, continue

00:52:03it going.

00:52:04So I'm taking Northwestern.

00:52:05I've said all season.

00:52:06I've been very impressed with them, been very impressed with David Braun.

00:52:09I think they go get a very big win, and at some point, people are going to start having

00:52:13a talk about them as a potential Dark Horse playoff team.

00:52:16Yeah.

00:52:17Dan?

00:52:17Yeah.

00:52:18Listen, my contender kind of got ruined earlier because he copped to it, but I'm picking Indiana,

00:52:25and you're going to say, hey, that's not a contender.

00:52:27We all know it's a contender.

00:52:29It was specifically because Liam Blutman spent three days saying Indiana's not even going

00:52:32to make the playoffs, to the point where I said, bet me right now, any stakes you want,

00:52:37Indiana's going to make the playoffs.

00:52:38And I want to actually pick Indiana because they still can win the national title.

00:52:42I know how bad Josh Hoover looked.

00:52:45Their defense is elite.

00:52:46They have the best coach in the country.

00:52:49They can find a way to win these games.

00:52:51If Josh Hoover can just become a B-minus quarterback, they will be right there at the end.

00:52:58So, that's my contender.

00:52:59I know it's an easy pick because they're a top five team, but the way Blutman was talking,

00:53:03he said they were the worst team in America.

00:53:05Yeah.

00:53:05I was having a delirious two, three-day stretch.

00:53:08It was bad.

00:53:08Did you actually think about naming your stakes with Dan?

00:53:11Like, did you get that?

00:53:12No.

00:53:12It just, we were sitting in the gambling cave and I was just like, name whatever you

00:53:15want.

00:53:16I'll bet it right now they're in the playoff.

00:53:17I'll bet it right now they're in the playoff.

00:53:18I'll bet it right now they're in the playoff.

00:53:19And then finally, I think he came.

00:53:20And that's, that's the problem in the gambling cave.

00:53:24That's not a real life place.

00:53:25Yeah.

00:53:26You feel like you're floating in there.

00:53:28That's a fact.

00:53:29Like, we're talking about that.

00:53:31Meanwhile, Steven Chase doing his little perks and stuff and Max DeLente is watching

00:53:36cross the room his eagles and screaming about, that place isn't real, man.

00:53:43So, I can't think in there.

00:53:45Oh, wow.

00:53:46Bears got Jeffrey Simmons.

00:53:47That's huge.

00:53:48Really?

00:53:48What?

00:53:49Holy shit.

00:53:50That's what he's saying?

00:53:51Holy shit.

00:53:53For what?

00:53:54There we go.

00:53:55He's two, two, two, two, two.

00:53:57I mean, he's one of the best players in the league.

00:53:59Yeah.

00:53:59Knoxby County.

00:54:00That's where Kamayo Taylor's from.

00:54:02Oh, look at that.

00:54:03Had to bring him up.

00:54:04Same high school.

00:54:05Two firsts in the four.

00:54:07Two firsts is a lot.

00:54:08This is great.

00:54:09I gotta text Jeffrey.

00:54:10How excited is Jeffrey Simmons getting out of Tennessee, though?

00:54:14Yeah, I mean, that's a dumpster wire.

00:54:16God, it's gross.

00:54:17Well, Brandon, do you want me to go to KDIC or would you like to get, I didn't know if

00:54:20you

00:54:20were going to text somebody.

00:54:21No, I was a line.

00:54:22Okay.

00:54:23Is this a pretender contender?

00:54:25Yes, it is.

00:54:25There are several teams.

00:54:27One that Dave, he doesn't know what he's talking about.

00:54:29There are several teams that are six and one right now and they look like they're contenders

00:54:32and they're really not.

00:54:33Northwestern's going to lose their next three games.

00:54:36And then Kentucky is one of those teams.

00:54:38They're six and one.

00:54:39They're in the top ten.

00:54:40Everybody's flying high.

00:54:41It's incredible.

00:54:42Will Stein's a great coach, but let's pump the brakes a little bit.

00:54:44They're not an actual national title contender.

00:54:46They've got at Missouri, at Tennessee, and Florida at home coming up.

00:54:49Florida, Kentucky is a team that will finish nine and three, and that's a very good season.

00:54:53But when it comes to being a contender for the national title and the playoff, I don't

00:54:57think they really are.

00:54:58They've got a one point win at South Carolina, one point win against LSU.

00:55:01They won on the road against Texas A&M, who's kind of better now than they were then.

00:55:05But anyway, I think Kentucky, very good team, very good season.

00:55:09When we consider national title contenders, they are a pretender.

00:55:12So you think Northwestern is going to lose next week at home against Iowa?

00:55:17No chance.

00:55:18They're winning there.

00:55:18There's no chance they lose to Iowa?

00:55:20No chance they lose to Iowa.

00:55:22No.

00:55:23Correct.

00:55:24You're wrong.

00:55:24That's why you're wrong.

00:55:25There's a chance they lose to Iowa.

00:55:26We can revisit that next week.

00:55:28Oh, we'll see.

00:55:28I think they lose.

00:55:29Mark it down.

00:55:30October 27th?

00:55:339th?

00:55:338th?

00:55:3329th.

00:55:3429th.

00:55:35Today's the 29th.

00:55:37October 29th, Brandon Walker says Northwestern loses their next three games.

00:55:40Okay, mark that down.

00:55:41He is the number one Marshall college football personality.

00:55:45K-Dick, who you got this week?

00:55:45I'm in too deep at this point.

00:55:47I just got to keep the train.

00:55:48I just got to keep the train rolling.

00:55:50I'm taking the Kwansai Gakuin fighters out of the-

00:55:53What is he doing?

00:55:54Out of the Japanese collegiate American football team.

00:55:56We gotta, we gotta, we gotta-

00:55:58You don't like this one?

00:55:59No.

00:56:00No.

00:56:01We gotta stop with this?

00:56:02But like, what are we doing?

00:56:03Yeah, what are we doing?

00:56:04It's a good contender.

00:56:05Liam helped me out with it.

00:56:06No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

00:56:07They're outscoring opponents 243 and 23.

00:56:10You gotta fucking stop.

00:56:11Nobody, like, nobody cares about this, so stop doing it, K-Dick.

00:56:15You gotta come up with one now.

00:56:16Go.

00:56:17Pretender.

00:56:19Pretender.

00:56:21Pretender.

00:56:22Oh my God.

00:56:23Say, this is that brain.

00:56:24See, this is the brain.

00:56:26Oh, I watch film.

00:56:30Who'd you take?

00:56:31Don't worry about it.

00:56:32You take Kentucky?

00:56:32Do you want me to, do you want me to save you right now?

00:56:35No, no, no, no, no, Casey, let him do it.

00:56:36Okay, okay, okay.

00:56:37See, fuck.

00:56:38Okay, okay, okay.

00:56:38No, go ahead.

00:56:40No, go ahead.

00:56:40There's not one team that comes to mind?

00:56:44Name a team.

00:56:45Just name a team.

00:56:46You don't have to say either one.

00:56:47At this point, just name a team.

00:56:49Fucking, um, Alabama.

00:56:51Contender.

00:56:52There we go.

00:56:53Well, that's stupid.

00:56:54Whatever.

00:56:55It's better, it's better.

00:56:55You gotta keep it.

00:56:57Okay, okay.

00:56:57Something like that works once.

00:56:59You can't keep doing things knowing, like, you just can't.

00:57:02It was good the first week and then it was dumb after that.

00:57:04It's like, alright, a little bit, but then it's like, really?

00:57:07Alright, yep.

00:57:08Got it.

00:57:08You're learning.

00:57:09Rookie season.

00:57:10Learning.

00:57:11Learning.

00:57:12Watch the film of the show.

00:57:13Break it down.

00:57:14That's what he was trying to do.

00:57:15He was trying to avoid what happened the last few weeks.

00:57:18Oh, God.

00:57:18Okay, I'm gonna take Miami as my pretender.

00:57:20Now, I understand they're the number one team in the country.

00:57:22They should be, because the rest of the country is lost.

00:57:24But the thing is, is they are number one by process of elimination.

00:57:27They had to survive Florida State.

00:57:28They are a very good team right now.

00:57:30We know they should be there, but I do not think that they are the number one team with

00:57:33a bullet in the country.

00:57:34There's, you know, Ohio State's getting votes.

00:57:36Other teams are getting votes.

00:57:37And I think Miami is very good.

00:57:38It's just that they haven't lost a game yet.

00:57:40And I do not think they should be the number one team.

00:57:42So you, but just to clarify, you think they have no chance to win the national championship?

00:57:49No, I think that the way that they're talked about every single week,

00:57:51it's like, well, Miami has to be number one and they should be because of the results.

00:57:54But I do not think that they are like the absolute favorite to win the national title

00:57:58when you break down the team.

00:57:59To put Miami in a pretender list right now means you have, you think they have no chance

00:58:04to win the national.

00:58:04No, no, no.

00:58:04What I said, I said the same thing with Texas.

00:58:06I said the same thing with Notre Dame.

00:58:07And I said the same thing with Texas Tech.

00:58:09Is that where they're getting ranked because of the games they have won,

00:58:12they deserve to be there.

00:58:13But that does not mean I think that they are the best team in the country.

00:58:15I think they are a pretender as the number one team in the country.

00:58:20Does that make sense?

00:58:22No, not really.

00:58:23I said the same thing about Texas.

00:58:25It's like what you're saying, but you're saying they deserve to be ranked number one

00:58:28because of the way, because of the way that the rest of the game struck out.

00:58:30I mean, it took them surviving that Florida State game in double overtime.

00:58:32I don't like when you're the number one team in the country going into week nine,

00:58:35week ten of the season.

00:58:36Normally you can say that is the team I think could probably win the national title.

00:58:40I do not feel safe saying that Miami is.

00:58:41Yeah, I just think if you're going to put the number one team in there as a pretender,

00:58:43that is a definitive statement against them being able to win the national championship.

00:58:47I do not think that they are the best team in the country.

00:58:49If you think they can win the national championship,

00:58:49I don't think you can put them as a pretender.

00:58:51No, I don't think that they are the best team in the country,

00:58:53and I would not pick them to win the national championship right now.

00:58:55How many teams would you put ahead of them as far as chances to win the national title?

00:58:57I would put Georgia ahead of them.

00:58:58I'm with you.

00:58:59It makes sense to me.

00:59:00Yeah, and I said the same thing about Texas, and Dave agreed with me.

00:59:02So it's okay.

00:59:02It's fine.

00:59:03Our brains are broken.

00:59:04But I would put Ohio State ahead of them.

00:59:06I would put Georgia ahead of them.

00:59:08I would put potentially maybe Utah.

00:59:14No.

00:59:15Notre Dame?

00:59:16Indiana?

00:59:17I would put Indiana, not Notre Dame.

00:59:18I said Notre Dame was a pretender as well.

00:59:21I mean, Miami has played really well.

00:59:23Their defense is not that great.

00:59:24But, I mean, who have they beaten that you're really impressed by?

00:59:26Who have they played that you're really impressed by?

00:59:29You're taking a shot.

00:59:30Yeah.

00:59:31If they lose to Notre Dame, it's like it will look good.

00:59:34Yeah.

00:59:34I like it.

00:59:35And that's what I've kind of done with this segment.

00:59:37It's like I'm not saying they're a bad team.

00:59:38I'm not saying they shouldn't be a top five team.

00:59:39You're saying they're pretending to be the number one team in the country,

00:59:41and they're not.

00:59:42Right, right.

00:59:42I do not think they're the number one team in the country,

00:59:44and I would not take them to win the national title right now.

00:59:46Let's go to the top ten presented by Las Vegas.

00:59:48All of these teams are trying to fight to get to Vegas

00:59:50because the road to Vegas is underway with the college football

00:59:52playoff national championship.

00:59:53It's coming to Las Vegas for the very first time,

00:59:56but you don't have to wait for the title game to get in on the action.

00:59:58Vegas is the ultimate place to catch every matchup all season long.

01:00:01Grab your crew, post up for the weekend,

01:00:03and watch your team in a city built for the moment.

01:00:06Head over to visitlasvegas.com to start planning your trip.

01:00:09All right, let's unveil the consensus top ten here.

01:00:12See where we all land.

01:00:15Miami, UCLA, Georgia, Ohio State, Indiana, Utah, Kentucky,

01:00:18Notre Dame, BYU, and Alabama.

01:00:20UCLA up to number two.

01:00:23Ah.

01:00:23Lutman.

01:00:24Well, Dave has them number one up there, right?

01:00:25Just way too high.

01:00:26Yeah, I do.

01:00:27I have them number one in my rankings.

01:00:28I have them six.

01:00:29I have them six as well, I believe.

01:00:31So, do you think that UCLA is a better team than Miami?

01:00:35I think that would be a very good game.

01:00:38Miami would kill UCLA.

01:00:40But again, no, I don't think so.

01:00:42But as I've said a million times, like, I don't do my rankings necessarily

01:00:48on who I think will beat who.

01:00:51I do it on your, to get into the first category,

01:00:55you got to be undefeated.

01:00:56And then I slot the one loss teams based on who I think is the best resume.

01:01:00So, for me, that puts Miami, UCLA, and Utah automatically as my top three

01:01:07and then I, who I think is the best resume out of that bunch, I put UCLA.

01:01:12Granted, I may still be Oregon-ing them in my head a little bit,

01:01:15but that's where I come up with it.

01:01:17But, so like, that kind of goes back to what I was just saying about Miami.

01:01:20It's like, you wouldn't even put Miami at number one,

01:01:21and they're number one in the AP, so that would be a pretender spot.

01:01:24Adamant, I have Miami at two.

01:01:27I know.

01:01:27I'm just saying that there's an argument that Miami is not the number one team

01:01:30in the country.

01:01:31But I would never say they're a pretender at one.

01:01:34I have them ranked at two.

01:01:36But if you don't think they're the number one team in the country,

01:01:38then they're a pretender at that spot.

01:01:41That is such a literal definition of, like, pretender, though.

01:01:45Like, so any team that I think is one spot ranked higher is a potential pretender?

01:01:50Yeah, because Texas was there.

01:01:52They weren't the number one team in the country.

01:01:53Well, now we've gotten to the crux of the issue.

01:01:55You and I have a very different definition of, like, when I say,

01:01:59if I said the number one team is a pretender, to me that's, like,

01:02:02no shot to win the title.

01:02:04Yeah, like, I think BYU was a pretender at two.

01:02:07I thought they had no shot to win the national title.

01:02:10Correct.

01:02:10Yeah.

01:02:11Right.

01:02:11Well, I've said the same thing at every, like I said,

01:02:13same thing with Notre Dame.

01:02:14I said the same thing with Texas, Texas Tech.

01:02:15It's like they're ranked higher than they should be because they are a pretender

01:02:18at that spot.

01:02:19That's where I'm going off of.

01:02:21Yeah.

01:02:22Yeah.

01:02:22But then you said, so I think Miami's a pretender, but I have them at two.

01:02:26I was just curious why you didn't have them at number one.

01:02:28Because I think UCLA has a better resume than Miami.

01:02:31Okay.

01:02:32Just a difference in opinion.

01:02:33Anything else, guys?

01:02:34No, the Bears got Jeffrey Simmons.

01:02:36That's such a good trade.

01:02:37That's insane.

01:02:38I'm trying.

01:02:38I need to end the show.

01:02:40I need to.

01:02:41Well, you got text to send.

01:02:47He's a dog.
