00:00this might be the uh only non-nfl we do today all right rapid fire let's rock what do you
00:05got
00:05fire we had a huge game on saturday with utah and byu uh utah did let byu back in that
00:14game they
00:14were up 14 or 17 to nothing i'm sorry is utah for real no okay no i mean they don't
00:21play the
00:22schedule to be for real i think they're a good football team but if you look at power rankings
00:26if you look at the sagarin you know they're number two in the ap poll they'd struggle to break the
00:31top
00:3214 uh in a power rank perspective so in that sense i say no i don't know mike you don't
00:39think they
00:40could do anything in the playoff if they get in there no nah not against a real team i mean
00:46sure
00:46put them against liberty in the first round they'll win i think my biggest takeaway is how good they are
00:50with how kyle whittingham is but but no i'm glad because they they this was as much about keeping
00:56morgan scally as it was getting rid of wit this was something they couldn't afford not to do they
01:02saw the future of the program right there they got rid of old man river and they paid him 13
01:08million
01:08to leave so you're right about that but the key to paul they didn't lose their quarterback for all
01:15the poaching that wit and his son and whoever did they didn't get devon dampier dampier threw two
01:21touchdowns ran for two touchdowns he caught a 50 yard pass that was the sauce for back when he was
01:28at new mexico he went to utah brought dampier with him dampier's continued to flourish that's the key
01:35to the whole damn thing you lose dampier they're not here it's also probably the best decision dampier
01:40could make because if he was on this offense he was his season went to go nearly as well here's
01:44my
01:44question what the hell was john henry daly thinking you left that to do this yikes let's move east here
01:52to lsu lsu lost to alabama on saturday the remaining schedule they have texas at home they're at number
02:0013 currently number 13 tennessee and then at arkansas staring at possibly seven and five in the face do you
02:08think they regret getting in the lane kiffin business with all the controversy being hated by everyone
02:14the sec they don't care about seven and five they don't care about that got you um the regret thing
02:19i mean sure you're not going to make a playoff in year one my issue is more when do we
02:24start making
02:24fun of lane about being small game lane he's basically a different version of james franklin go
02:31look at his record in big games and he got circles run around him by kaylin deboer in that game
02:36and i
02:36could give you a bunch of reasons why but we don't have time they're going to regret it quick anything
02:41other than a playoff appearance next year oh yeah big time well i i think lane's a good coach but
02:47it
02:47always puzzles me how many teams fight to get his services he's never won anything nope at some point
02:53doesn't that have to come into effect when like all these teams are fighting over your services don't
02:56they have to look at each other and be like well we're going to get him and the program's going
03:00to
03:00be good and we're going to compete for a playoff spot but we're never actually going to win anything
03:03he's fallen up in life since inception i i don't get it and to your point paul when he had
03:09a chance
03:10when it looked like he had a chance then he left for lsu old miss was a chance last year
03:17yeah which is embarrassing he left in that situation so this question here is a paul special
03:24so with the new 2014 playoff starting next season is it redundant for the ap or the coaches poll to
03:32be
03:3225 teams yes should it now just be the top 24 correct i look the whole thing is stupid i
03:39mean all
03:39look at all the teams we're talking about i mean lsu would still be a playoff team right now
03:43you could still make a case for ohio state to be a playoff team you could still make a case
03:48it's just it's it's beyond stupid and the people who are supporting it now will be singing a different
03:54tune next year they have taken the greatest regular season in all of sports and they have
03:59completely marginalized it they've done exactly what they did to college basketball nobody cares the games
04:05do not matter has any organization or entity ever done more to annoy their own fan base
04:11than who than the ncaa but this isn't the ncaa in the cfp tournament but the cfp is not the
04:17ncaa
04:18disney owns the cfp this isn't the ncaa this is the networks and the conferences i paulie the ncaa can
04:27be a pinata for a lot of things this ain't got nothing to do with them it just doesn't make
04:31any sense
04:31like no one wants the 2014 playoff other than the executives and the people making money off of
04:37it correct none of the players the fans don't want it but there's no one to stop them it's that's
04:43where you could blame the ncaa but the ncaa can't enforce the rules especially in antitrust matters
04:48they lose in court so let's dive right into it paul's pick tonight akron man akron getting 15 and a
04:59coast in western michigan paulie why the zips tonight this is a shocking call
05:05i uh i got nothing i just i just love making that up and paul thinking he has to somehow
05:12select akron
05:13you do not no seriously though i do have an upset alert for this weekend what is that it is
05:19number
05:20three utah visiting number 22 arizona utah it's just a two and a half point favorite coming off an
05:26emotional win against byu and the holy war going on the road to arizona arizona's not a bad team
05:32it's a letdown spot on the road it just depends if noah fafita is going to be on or off
05:37if he's on
05:38he's one of the best quarterbacks in the country but when he's off he's joe milton
05:42he's he is sub awesome kyla murray it's not good so yeah and by the way arizona had every right
05:49to
05:49beat texas tech and didn't uh yeah utah's got to be careful it's nice when you're in rice eccles
05:55stadium where they never lose go on the road and do it yeah it's tough spot for them i feel
06:00like
06:00most of the time in college football especially this season it feels like anytime you win a big
06:04emotional game at home when you go on the road you immediately just lose that game it's happened
06:09so much this season where rico's constantly like digging at me like paul this is going to happen
06:14this team just won a big home game they're going to go on the road now they're going to lose
06:17and they
06:17always do and yet i'm always like i don't know but they're the better team it doesn't even matter
06:21anymore whether utah is a better team or not than arizona arizona is probably just going to win
06:27he's learning about the mic rule when it doesn't make sense that's right you just got to lean in
06:31with it right like why why is lsu favored over texas this week doesn't make sense i don't know lsu
06:37i have why i have no idea and to close it out on something else that doesn't make sense so
06:44when i
06:44first brought this story up to you i thought it was just due diligence for this university
06:50but it sounds like it may be real nc state officials made the trek to fairhope alabama
06:58earlier this week to formally meet philip rivers where now the two sides are finalizing an agreement
07:03that is expected to be hammered out over the next 24 hours to make philip rivers the next head coach
07:10at
07:10nc state i thought it was a joke i it should be a joke first of all i don't know
07:16where he's going
07:16to find the time he's got like 14 kids thank you uh unless he plans on having them as his
07:20staff
07:22is it a fundraising ploy is that what this is i don't get it while nc state is not alabama
07:28nc state is not a terrible job it's not because they also interview wilson wilson okay now you're
07:34just effing with me i'm serious no you can't hire him look i don't i don't understand it i
07:40really don't i don't know why they didn't just offer him the same thing like stanford did with
07:43andrew luck like you're the gm of the team you hire us a real coach we can use your name
07:48with
07:48the school for purposes of like getting more nil money or whatever recruiting whatever and then
07:54you hire a real coach for us you hire a real staff but the fact that they're actually making
07:58him the coach well look and and dave doran took it as far as he could they don't have the
08:03nil to
08:03support a high-end roster year over year over year maybe it's a fundraising ploy i don't know
08:09it just doesn't add up to me why you would go that route that is your college football blitz
08:16you
