00:00Let's go to tier number two, Joe, to look at some of those more minus money prices.
00:09Again, Penn State in the narrative of Saturday in Happy Valley is not good, but it was not
00:15impactful really for the Nittany Lions playoff outlook.
00:19They will be a hefty favorite in their final four games of the year.
00:23There is an argument, I believe a sound one, that Penn State's game in Madison against
00:28Wisconsin two Saturdays ago so much more significant for their resume than that of an Ohio State
00:35game.
00:36Had they won that, they're a shoo-in for the college football playoff, and the strength
00:39of schedule or a marquee win for the Nittany Lions is not overwhelming or impressive, and
00:45yet Penn State is going to see the college football playoff if they can win out.
00:50How about Indiana?
00:51The Hoosiers a perfect 9-0 for the first time in program history, minus 250.
00:57Two touchdown favorite this week against Michigan, then a bye, a road trip to Ohio
01:02State where IU will be the underdog.
01:05Will that game even matter if Indiana can't win their following one against Purdue?
01:09They'll be a heavy favorite for that, but how will the committee judge Indiana based
01:15on its strength of schedule so far?
01:18Notre Dame also minus 250, the blemish and a bad one against Northern Illinois, but against
01:24non-MAC teams, the Irish have looked incredibly dominant.
01:27Tennessee minus 230, that huge win over Alabama and a couple of big wins on the resume for
01:34the Volunteers, and despite two losses, Alabama still minus 140 to reach the college football
01:40playoff.
01:41Yeah, you gotta love the fact though that Ben, Indiana, listen, Indiana beats Ohio State,
01:47they're facing Oregon in Indy for the Big Ten championship.
01:51So they control, doesn't make a difference, strength of schedule or not, they're going
01:54to control their destiny here, and they're going to be a favorite in some pretty easy
01:59games coming up, and you mentioned it, Purdue being one of them there.
02:03I think Indiana is a great price here across the board, simply because they don't need
02:09to worry about somebody else or the committee.
02:12Win against Ohio State and you're facing Oregon with a chance to guarantee yourself one of
02:18the top four spots.
02:19I think it's going to be fantastic down the stretch.
