00:00the college football playoff. The first 12 team bracket has
00:05been determined and we knew when it went from one to two and
00:09the the the third team was arguing. I just I don't know
00:13why every time I think of the two team playoff, I just think
00:16of an undefeated Auburn team by the SEC get left out of the uh
00:19the the championship game. Then, when it moved to four, we
00:23knew we'd get it from five and now, it's move. Get it thirteen,
00:27fourteen and right now, it came down to SMU and Alabama and the
00:35committee decided to go with the Mustangs. SMU, after they
00:39lost at the buzzer to Clemson, who are the twelve seed, the
00:43final seed in. They lose to Clemson at the buzzer to lose
00:46the ACC championship game after a uh a serious comeback to get
00:51that thing tied. The committee goes with them over Alabama. Uh
00:58SMU ten and two. Um no wins against the top twenty-five uh
01:03but no horrible losses. Their losses are to BYU who was ten
01:07and two in the big twelve and to Clemson in the ACC
01:11championship game. Alabama nine and three. Uh they went three
01:15and one against top twenty-five teams including a win over the
01:19number two overall seed Georgia uh but they did have
01:23some bad losses. Although I don't think the Vanderbilt loss
01:25is bad. I I like on the road. I don't know that's a bad loss
01:29but they got bum rushed uh on the road twenty-four to three
01:32by Oklahoma late in the season which is still hard to explain
01:36but they get left out. Clint, I know you watch this stuff. I
01:40know you're big in college football. Did the committee get
01:43it right? Absolutely, they got it right. You you can try to
01:47sell that Vandy loss is not a bad loss if you want to but
01:49that's out. We're talking Alabama and Vandy here. Yeah,
01:51they they got it right. They they got it right. Look, I
01:53mean, I think if we just talk about big picture moving to
01:59twelve team uh twelve team playoff, there's no way in hell
02:03that you leave out a team that was undefeated power for
02:07conference and their only loss is to a ten and two top twenty
02:11ranked BYU team and they're playing and they're playing in
02:17the ACC championship and and lose that ball game the way
02:21they played to to Clemson. There's just there's just
02:24there's there's no way you can set the present or you should.
02:28I mean, there's a way they could have. There's no way that
02:30you should set the present at this point in time that no
02:33matter how bad a big brand is in football, they're always
02:38going to get in uh over over the other no matter how many
02:42teams get into the college football playoffs, whether it's
02:45four or twelve, the big brand, no matter what they've done, no
02:48matter what their uh their season look like they're going
02:52to get in. They're going to be given that level of of of uh
02:56of uh you know forgiveness if you will to get in II think
03:00they got it right and and they gave they gave 75% of the
03:05college football world all the universities that aren't a big
03:09brand all the universities that aren't the mainstays in
03:12conference championships all the group of five teams that
03:15are out there. If they're still called that I think they gave
03:19they by doing this that the the committee kept. The dreams
03:25alive for 75% of college football. They kept the dreams
03:30alive. Can I say this? I think they got it wrong, but I'm glad
03:34that I'm glad that the decision they had they came up with like
03:37I'm I'm glad I'd rather see SMU than Alabama, but like to me if
03:43it's a who do you think is a better team on the field? I
03:46think if it is who is deserving now, I think this goes with how
03:51you look at things to me like you got a team that played they
03:56went three and one against current top twenty-five teams
03:59right and challenged themselves uh and they went on the road to
04:03Wisconsin. Now Wisconsin is down, but they went on the road
04:05and played that team in the non conference to go along with
04:09their schedule and then you got another team in SMU that the two
04:12games they played against top twenty-five teams they lost uh
04:16and and this isn't a great Clemson team. Their best win is
04:19or against Duke and Louisville um and so II to me, I think it's
04:24more deserving who you beat and and so to me, I think Alabama is
04:27actually more deserving and the better team. However, you roll
04:30with it, but I am glad to see SMU and I never thought they
04:34would do it. III thought that I thought alright. We got a
04:36chance to get Alabama Penn State. Let's go ahead and do
04:39Alabama Penn State. Let's get the name. We might have to deal
04:42with some of the small people here going at it and get mad
04:45for for a day or two or maybe even a week, but but really the
04:49Alabama name. That's fine. I and and I'm surprised they did.
04:52I'm glad they did it, but I honestly I mean II think
04:55Alabama to me honestly is the better football team and
04:58probably deserves to be there. Yeah. I think I think it's I
05:02think deserve is is is the the operative word there. I think
05:05that's the one that that we can play tug of war like like at
05:08the end of the day, it's it's interesting with the the the
05:13committee is because you we hear a lot about strength of
05:16schedule right and and it's obviously a big player, but
05:20when we're talking about twelve teams getting in right there
05:24Has to be as much more weight when we're talking about 101112.
05:29We're not talking about 1234. Obviously we're talking about
05:31101112. There has to be more weight put on the team. Hey,
05:36did you you this is your schedule. You're in a power.
05:38You can't you can't do anything. You're in a power
05:40four conference. There's nothing else you can do right.
05:43This is your schedule right here. Did you consistently show
05:47up and put your best ball on the field and Alabama
05:52consistently showed up and failed to put their best. Now
05:57they still want a couple of those games, but failed to put
05:59their best ball out there. It cost them three games where I
06:02think SMU showed up and literally for an entire season
06:06shocked the ACC to a point where they were eight and oh in
06:09that in that that conference. That's that's to me. I
06:12personally put more. I've always been that way like I
06:14hated the fact that Ohio State got got in over. I can't
06:18remember who it was, but it was it was a tight. They ended up
06:20winning the whole thing so that the argument fell flat on
06:23its face, but the the fact that they got in after losing a
06:26game, they got in over Baylor and they lost midseason to a
06:29six and six football team. That's that's now we're talking
06:32about twelve teams and you're talking about Alabama. They did
06:35it multiple times. Give me the consistent team more so than
06:39the team that oh we played a harder schedule. Well, we can't
06:42control. We can't control what your schedule looks like before
06:45the season starts. Oh god. I I got I got I got words back to
06:48you. Luckily, we gotta go. I'm sure you tried to sell Vandy as
06:51a big win when you're talking about Alabama. I didn't say a
06:52big win. I just said Vandy is not a awful loss. I think I
06:57think it's a terrible loss. I think I think Vandy would have
07:01given SMU all they wanted. Oh, it's a good football team, but
07:04we're talking about Alabama. We like Bama and Georgia and
07:08Texas. You can't we can't go. Oh, I'm gonna piss off Tyler a
07:11little bit, but Tyler and you you both know you both know what
07:16it's like to have to go and say, alright, this week, I
07:19gotta play A and M. Then next week, I gotta play Georgia and
07:22then next week, I gotta play Florida. You you hell you
07:24lived it. Sure. To then know the SMU got to go and roll and
07:28play. They didn't even I can't even name some of them low in
07:32the ACs. I know they didn't have Miami on their schedule. I
07:35know they didn't have Clemson on their schedule. I don't they
07:38didn't have the top teams in the ACC on their schedule like
07:41to get through and go. Oh, we got Pitt this week. Oh, and
07:44then next week, we get to follow it up with NC State or
07:47North Carolina like it's a difference when Alabama has to
07:51get up for every last one of these games. I mean, there's a
07:54gauntlet of hey, who you got? We got Tennessee, Georgia,
07:57Vandy, and LSU in a four-week period. I got II think there is
08:01something. No, there's definitely there's no, there's
08:03look, there's definitely a difference. I mean, you can
08:05make the same argument about Boise State. Make the same
08:08argument about Arizona State. I mean, we make there's there's
08:10twelve teams getting in. That argument is very valid for
08:12certain teams. You just like to me, Alabama's not even the
08:16team. Alabama's not even shouldn't even been the fourth
08:18SEC team considered. It should have been South Carolina. Well,
08:20they beat them though. I don't get the head. Okay, head to
08:23head. Two good football teams go together and and and you're
08:25going to hold that against somebody but you're not going
08:27to hold it back. There's a difference between the two of
08:28them. It's a difference between the two. I disagree. One beat
08:31them. I disagree. One one one finished on a six-game stretch
08:34where they beat several ranked teams. The other one messed the
08:37bed and lost by double digits to Oklahoma. Yeah. But two weeks
08:40ago. But they beat that team. That's why. That ain't got
08:42nothing to do. I mean, that that that says. No, it's we're
08:44talking two good football teams. Two good football teams and
08:47what's the difference? One one finished the season six straight
08:50and beat a bunch of ranked teams and one got skull drugged
08:52by OU. That's a route. That's a route to goal or you can say
08:55the other one beat Georgia and beat that other good team head
08:58to head. Ah, it's soft.
