00:00What about this one here?
00:01Arizona, Texas Tech.
00:05I bet Texas Tech before the year to win the title.
00:10I understood that they lost a lot, but they did all right in the portal.
00:14And the thought was, hey, listen, like they can pick on a soft Big 12.
00:17They're going to get into the playoff.
00:18And I don't know if that's true.
00:20I mean, there's a world we get a multi-bid Big 12 and Texas Tech still don't make it.
00:27Like, they've yet to look like the – they've yet to look playoff worthy.
00:34And that was before the Cincinnati loss.
00:36Like, they were not – they're dominant cells.
00:39All the defensive plays that you feel good about are splash plays.
00:42It's not like down-to-down excellence like they had last year.
00:46They're talking about a quarterback change, which is a shame because I thought Hammond had a bit of juice.
00:53And the fact that they might turn to Tommy Castellanos, some people might be like,
00:56oh, I don't really believe in Tommy all that much.
01:00So I look at this spot.
01:03I find myself leaning Texas Tech.
01:05I like they're going to handle business.
01:06But I'm very focused, or I have been, Dan, on their big picture.
01:10And I don't feel good about their big picture right now.
01:13Do you agree if Brandon Soresby had been eligible to play and he had played here,
01:18Texas Tech is probably one of your top five teams in the country?
01:22I was just going to say they'd be ranked in the top five.
01:24There's no doubt in my mind they would be ranked in the top five because it would have given the
01:28defense
01:29all the time in the world to figure it out because the offense would be great.
01:33It just would be.
01:35Unfortunately, again, like Will Hammond, six touchdowns, six interceptions, 7.6 yards per pass.
01:41He's not been all that good on the ground.
01:43Soresby, Soresby, I mean, look, he's probably hanging around with Mensah for the Heisman race
01:48if he was able to be eligible, and that was one of the things that I thought to myself
01:53when I was placed in the ballot, like, oh, maybe there's some value now
01:56on the adjusted non-Soresby number.
02:00They did a good job adjusting it.
02:01This team is just not as good as they could have been.
