00:00It's the 16 Penn State with an opportunity for its first college football playoff appearance
00:11to win some marquee matchups against the 11 seed in the final at-large team into this
00:16field.
00:18That would be SMU eight and a half point spread Joe in favor of the Nittany Lions at home
00:24our total stands at 53 and a half.
00:27How do you approach the opening game of three tomorrow in the college football playoff?
00:33So this is a big number Ben and I get it Happy Valley at 12 noon is better than a whiteout
00:42at eight o'clock at night Ben you know this.
00:45So that's a break for SMU here.
00:49But listen Penn State has played two great teams this year and lost to both of them right
00:56there their last game against Oregon in the Big Ten championship they lost to Ohio State
01:00at home back in early November.
01:03Now they've got another shot at taking on a ranked team here in SMU who's got a really
01:11good offense so cold there's going to be some double digit wins maybe a chance of showers.
01:20I think the home field is worth more here for Penn State than it is in some of these
01:24other games but it just feels like exactly what we saw with SMU against Clemson it just
01:32feels like in the second half SMU is going to have an opportunity to somehow I don't
01:38think they win but I feel like they're going to somehow make this game appear final score
01:44wise that it was closer than it really was.
01:47And that's the only thing that's stopping me from actually laying the eight and a half
01:51in here.
01:52I think Penn State wins but I think SMU's offense gives them a shot at the backdoor
01:57cover late.
