Intros- what was the best sports year of your life…. Meaning all your teams did well/exceeded expectations/or just plain exciting. All sports….

05-07- Patriots won Super Bowl, Red Sox had just won the World Series on 04, gators were on top in both basketball and Football. Even the Celtics were getting ready to win the NBA championship in 2008.

Top 12 poll from Tuesday Night

1. Oregon

2. Georgia

3. Miami

4. BYU

5. Texas

6. Ohio State

7. Tennessee

8. Penn State

9. Indiana

10. Notre Dame

11. Alabama

12. Boise State

What if Scenario:

1. What if SMU wins out, and beats Miami in the ACC championship?

2. What if Iowa State wins out and plays undefeated BYU and wins the Big12 championship?

3. I see 4 1 loss big ten teams going into December. Ohio State rematches Oregon in the Big Championship and loses. We are seriously looking a 4 big 10 teams then. If OSU loses to Oregon, do they just get dropped to a 10 seed? Still 4 in the playoff

Last weeks games

1. Florida vs Georgia- sadly I had to watch the gators season go down in flames as DJ Lagway’s injury is likely season ending. Florida led at the half off of 3 interceptions, and capitalizing on them. But you can see the defense and offense change once Lagway left the game. They still wanted to win, but there was doubt. With Lagway in there was no doubt. Georgia has some problems to deal with on offense and defense if they want to win a Natty.

2. South Carolina vs Texas A&M- game of the week in my opinion. Texas A&M just never figured out this Gamecocks defense. They were all over TAMU’s Qb, and the Tamu defense could not seem to tackle these Gamecock receivers and Sellers.

3. Clemson loss to Louisville- Louisville pounced on these tigers on Saturday. going up 26-7 by the end of Q3. The quick Louisville offense really threw the Clemson defense for a loop.

4. Oregon beats Michigan - last week Mt Man said that of the 110,000 people in the stadium none could play Qb. Clearly the only one who could play Qb last week was Dillon Gabriel. 294 yards passing, clean football by Oregon over all. Those 110k fans did not affect Oregon at all. 2 five yard penalties, 10/15 on 3rd down. This crowd was silenced by Q2, and probably leaving by mid-q3.

5. Penn State loss to Ohio State- sort of a defensive battle between these two teams on Saturday. The coaches both trashed for never winning the big game. Ryan Day comes out on top. Still some weakness around Ohio State, but the oline showed some

Questions of the week

1. Does anyone feel like depth has been reduced on teams causing more parody in the SEC and Big10 and elsewhere?

2.

Games of the Week 11

1. #20 Colorado at Texas Tech- coach prime is going into this game at 6-2 coming off a bye week. Texas Tech is 6-3. Colorado is favored by 3

2. #19 Clemson at Virginia Tech- after last weeks performance I suspect Clemson got a second wake up call for the season. Virginia Tech was looked at as a potential threat in the ACC this season,

3. Michigan at #8 Indiana- Michigan has had 1 win in 4 weeks. They are still working out the QB problems. Unbeaten Indiana hopes to stay that way. Kurtis Rourke has been exceptional at QB for the Hoosiers. Michigan does not have the defense to keep him out of the end zone.

4. #2 Georgia at #16 Ole Miss- big matchup this weekend. Ole Miss has 2 losses, and they don’t want that 3rd one. A win against Georgia will give the credibility to take a top 12 spot with two losses. Georgia struggled against Florida and Kentucky this season, Will the Jaxon Dart offense be to much for the Georgia Defense?

5. #11 Alabama at #14 LSU- both teams are 6-2, both teams have playoff chances on the line here. hey are going to Death Valley at night.

6. #9 BYU at Utah- undefeated BYU looks to keep their record on tarnished. Utah was the powerhouse in the mountains of the Pac 12

7. South Carolina at Vanderbilt - coming off a huge win against Texas A&M last week. The gamecocks certainly want to knock out another ranked opponent

And let’s introduce our Guys joining us today

Looking back at week 9:

1. Alabama beats Mizzu- 34-0.

2. Pitt beats Syracuse 41-13

3. Boise State beats UNLV- 29-24.

4. Ohio State beats Nebraska 21-17: Ohio state was lethargic this game. The offensive line struggled..

5. Texas Beats Vandy- 27-24.

6. Texas A&M beats LSU 38-23: both of these teams were playing to be at the top of the SEC,

Looking at Week 10 CFB

1. Pitt at SMU- ACC leaders, Pitt has been winning but not blowing anyone out to bad except Syracuse last weekend, while SMU is fairly solid offensively but lacking defensively. This could be a really close game in my opinion. SMU is a 7.5 point favorite, probably because they are expected to score easily. Pitt showed they can play though, forcing turnovers and interceptions. This could be close, with Pitt even coming out on top.

2. Duke at Miami- coach: Mario Cristobal. Cam Ward is QB.Duke held their own against SMU last week. Losing in OT by a point. They have no trust in their kicker, and will have to figure out that piece to beat Miami. Probably have to figure out a lot. ,Miami has had some close calls. Virginia Tech, Cal and Louisville all 1 possession games. Duke is probably at par with those 3 teams, maybe even having a better defense. Only 1 team put up more than the 28 points SMU put up.

3. Texas A&M at South Carolina-coach: Beamer and Mike Elko. QB Conner Wiegman or Marcel Reed: I should buy tickets to this game, because SC at home is going to be huge against TAMU. Texas A&M is running on all cylinders right now, looking well coached, with players who believe they can come from no where and win it all. The gamecocks of put some good games together while slacking on others, so, depending on which team we got, this could be an upset for the week.

4. Florida vs Georgia: Billy Napier and Kirby Smart. QB; DJ Lagway and Carson Beck: obviously on paper Georgia is the better team this season, but they are not the team they have been from total production standpoint. Gators are still trying to figure things out with DJ Lagway replacing an injured Graham Mertz..

5. Clemson vs Louisville- coach: Dabo Swinney and Jeff Brohm. QB Cade Clubmick. since their loss to Georgia Clemson has been wrecking their opponents. Louisville is mid-tier at best, with a good offense, but little defense. Clemson wins

6. Oregon at Michigan- coach: Dan Lanning and Sherrone Moore. QB: Dillon Gabriel: how to be relevant this season, beat Oregon in the big house. Michigan has not found their place yet though. Oregon just has to many weapons on both sides of the ball to play down to Michigans level.

7. Ohio State at Penn State: Ryan Day. James Franklin. QB: possible that Penn States QB Drew Allar is out, and a true freshman will be in. Will Howard has the chops to win this game, as long as they play aggressively and he can get the protection needed by a young offensive line.

Week 9 College Football

Looking Back

1. Miami at Louisville - exceptional football game, Miami pulled it off, but fun to watch. Almost 100 points put up and 4 td’s in the 4th quarter. Does this help Miami legitimize Miami’s story yet?

2. Indiana wrecked Nebraska 56-7- no one thought this would happen. Nebraska defense was on their heals the entire game. Dylan Raiola showed his lack of experience, throwing 3 interceptions. Indiana just curb stomped Matt Rules Cornhuskers. 495 yards of total offense by Indiana.

3. Tennessee 24-Alabama 17- the first half was pretty low key, with only 7 points scored by Alabama, Tennessee was actually looking rough. 3 turnovers. That changed in the second half, Tennessee scored twice, going up 14-10. Really came down to discipline on Tennessee side, and them wearing down Alabama enough to win. They were able to run the ball, and defensively they got plenty of stops.

4. LSU beat Arkansas 34-10: I thought we had a potential upset only our hands going into the week. Arkansas has played some good football, but they did not play well on Saturday. 3 turnovers and 15 first downs as compared to 25 first downs for LSU. That does not win games. LSU held Arkansas to 38 yards rushing on 19 carries.

5. Georgia 30 Texas 15- taking Quinn Ewers out of the game sure did spur some conversation during and after that game, but later Sarcquisian made it clear that Ewers is his starter. But even the manning name doesn’t scare the bull dogs. Carson Beck wasnt even really on his game, he threw 3 interceptions. Georgia stuck to their running game and solid defense, blowing out Texas in the first half 22-0. Hard to come back from that, but Texas tried. Scoring all 15 points in the 3rd quarter, but not getting any fiurther than that.

6. Iowa State barely beat UCF 38-35- iowa state allowed 354 rushing yards against UCF, they are ranked #10 the highest ranked big12 team. They better tighten up that run defense if they are gonna win in the playoffs

Questions of the week:

Lets take a look at the potential conference Championship situation:

SEC- Texas A&M and LSU are unbeaten, Georgia, Tennessee, Mizzu, Texas and Vandy are 1 conference loss.

ACC- Clemson, Miami, Pitt, SMU, unbeaten, but Duke Syracuse and Virginia Tech can still write their own ticket with 1 loss

B1G- Indiana, Oregon, Penn State unbeaten, Illinois, Wisconsin, Ohio State- 1 loss

Big12- BYU, Iowa State- unbeaten k-state, Texas Tech, Cincinnati, Colorado 1 confrence loss

AAC- Army, Navy, Tulane are all in the running, since none have lost a conference game

Others - safe to say no other conference champs will make playoffs just because of the dominance of the ACC so far. Do UNLV or Boise State make it in? It comes down to highest ranked G5 conference winning team in the committee’s poll.

UNLV plays Boise State

Week 9 Games

1. #8 LSU at #14 Texas A&M- both of these teams are exceeding my expectations so far. I think they are on par with analysts. TAMU only loss is to Notre Dame, while LSU lost to USC. Both undefeated in conference play. One will get out alive.

2. #5 Texas at #25 Vanderbilt-Texas gets stuck with Vandy on their schedule

3. #21 Missouri at #15 Alabama- Mizzu at 6-1 has barely floated by the last several games they’ve played. Especially against any Power 4 team.

4. #12 Notre Dame at #24 Navy- Notre Dame has the #5 Scoring Defense in the country only giving up 12 points per game on average. They are not exceptional against the rush though. Giving up 113 yards per game, ranked 30th in the country..

5. Washington at #13 Indiana- Indiana should win this game easily. Washington played Iowa, who lacks consistency on offense yet put up 40 points.

6. #20 Illinois at #1 Oregon- if Oregon can beat Ohio State, you’d think they will be fin against Illinois. Purdue put up 49 against Illinois.

7. #22 SMU at Duke- I’m surprised that Duke is not ranked right now. Both teams are 6-1 contending for a spot in the ACC championship. SMU does put up 440 yards

1. Man what an interesting college football season we’ve got going here, and we get to talk about it on this show. Welcome all of you to another action packed week of Guys at the Bar talking sports.

2. Oregon vs Michigan State: Oregon showing they can control games and line of scrimmage on defense.

3. Alabama losing to Vandy! Wow

4. Tennessee loss to Arkansas

5. Michigan loss to Washington

6. USC loss to Minnesota- I was starting to be a believer in USC. Not any more

Questions of the day (Dave gets to come up with 2-3 conversation points)

2. #1 Texas vs #18 Oklahoma

3. #2 Ohio State at #3 Oregon

And let’s introduce our Guys joining us today.

Quick Topics:

Florida State goes undefeated last season, now 0-3. They play Cal next week. If they go 0-4 would Mike Norvell officially have now excuses?

Why isn’t UNC getting into the Top 25?

Billy Napier. Is he fired this week? Do they give him through the UCF Game in 2 weeks? What’s the charter path for him?

After 3 weeks of football have you changed any thoughts on who will be National Champs, or is the sample size still to small?

Last Weeks Games Review

1. Gamecocks nearly pull of the Upset against #16 LSU
2. Look at Tennessee so far this season, 71-0 against Kent state. Do we know how good the Vols are yet?
3. #1 Georgia, now #2 13-12 win over Kentucky.
4. Nebraska 34-3 over Northern Iowa, I think Nebraska is gonna be an upset maker in the Big 10 once they start playing conference games.
5. What happened in the Back Yard Brawl? Looked like a hell of a game?
6. #17 Notre Dame vs Purdue……. Wow, 59 point win. 66-7. What did Marcus Freeman put in their breakfast bowls?

Games of the Week week 4 College Football

1. 24 Illinois at 22 Nebraska - I’m liking Nebraska on this game. What is happening at Nebraska is offense is finally complementing the defense. But this will be the first real test for Dillon Raiola. Illinois has a much tougher defense than Colorado.
2. NC State at 21 Clemson
3. #11 USC at #18 Michigan coming off a by week, Sherome Moore said Alex Orji will start the game at QB for Michigan. I don’t think that matters. Michigans problem exist across the whole team. USC is looking much better than I expected so far. QB Miller Moss seems comfortable under pressure. Defense looks solid, so I suspect this will be a close game.
4. #12 Utah at #14 Oklahoma State- battle for the best team in the big 12? Utah is back to their second string QB. Now led by Isaac Wilson, pretty sure this is Zach Wilson’s brother. I like Utah in this game, just because they still have the defense needed to win games.
5. #6 Tennessee at #15 Oklahoma
6. Georgia tech Vs #19 Louisville
7. Arkansas at Auburn
