00:00What I didn't understand all week, Lucy,
00:03there was kind of a buildup narrative
00:06of this like Texas is going to handle or beat Georgia.
00:11And I just could not bring myself to say that that's a fact.
00:15And Georgia was five and a half point underdogs
00:17in this game.
00:18Everybody on game day all picked Texas.
00:21Sark was talking about the offense.
00:23And I just kept telling myself,
00:24I know Georgia might not be quite the juggernaut
00:27that they were in years past,
00:29but I get Kirby smart.
00:31I get a Georgia defense that's nasty.
00:34I get everybody picking against them.
00:36I never understood the narrative.
00:38And if I had made a bet,
00:40I would have absolutely hammered Georgia
00:43plus five and a half to cover against Texas.
00:47And I would have flirted with the money line
00:49and they handled Texas.
00:51They out physical them.
00:52They took care of them.
00:54They created quarterback controversy for the Longhorns
00:56and Texas that seemed unbeatable
00:58to everybody going into this thing.
00:59Suddenly people are going,
01:01who is the best team in college football?
01:03And I think Georgia personally took the mantle this weekend
01:06because if you're just observing best wins of the year,
01:09Oregon being Ohio State is great.
01:11They did it at home.
01:12Georgia going to Texas and doing that
01:15is the best winning college football.
01:18So it might be wide open this year
01:20and it might be very 2007-ish.
01:22We don't know who the best team in football is.
