(upbeat music)
00:03
- I like Joe that they put Ohio State there at the top
00:05
and said, they have better wins than those other teams.
00:09
This is how we're doing it.
00:11
This is how we're operating.
00:13
The Buckeyes are number one.
00:14
And if somebody beats them, they won't be one anymore.
00:15
I like it, Joe.
00:17
- All right, I have no problem, Carver,
00:19
that they mixed it up, okay?
00:21
But then they should have given Florida State their due
00:24
and made them number one over Ohio State.
00:27
I mean, we're putting Ohio State
00:28
because they won on the last play against Notre Dame,
00:31
a two loss team.
00:32
Hang on, hang on.
00:34
And a one dimensional offense in Penn State
00:37
that their best level of competition maybe was Iowa.
00:41
An Iowa team that they held to less than 100 total yards.
00:45
I mean, come on now.
00:47
Let's pump the brakes a little bit
00:49
in terms of Ohio State.
00:50
Are they undefeated?
00:52
Yes.
00:53
Should they be in the top four?
00:54
Yes.
00:55
But Florida State demolished LSU.
00:58
Week one by 21 points.
01:01
And they knocked off Clemson
01:03
when Clemson was actually relevant in Death Valley.
01:06
No, no, no.
01:07
Don't do that.
01:08
They handed them their third home loss since 2015.
01:12
There's no way Florida State should be four
01:15
behind Michigan and Ohio State should be one.
01:19
Complete lack of respect.
01:20
- Well, I don't think so.
01:23
I think that putting them at four,
01:25
in fact, Joe, I can understand.
01:27
The Pac-12 teams are clearly grumbling
01:30
because they play in what many believe
01:32
is the best conference this year.
01:34
I don't have a problem with this, Joe.
01:36
Like the ACC is very down this year.
01:40
- Yeah, but don't look at the ACC as a whole.
01:43
Yeah, but the big 10 sucks.
01:44
- They beat LSU.
01:46
They beat LSU in their own backyard,
01:49
albeit down the road.
01:50
You gotta drive to Orlando.
01:51
It's a little bit close.
01:52
- A week one game.
01:53
- But basically a home game.
01:55
- It's a week one game.
01:56
- Basically a home game for them.
01:56
- They had months of preparation
01:59
and they still won by 21.
02:01
- Don't have a road game like going to South Bend,
02:04
tough environment on a Saturday night
02:06
and getting a win there.
02:08
Look, here's the best part about this, Joe.
02:13
- They lost to Louisville?
02:15
Louisville?
02:16
- Lost to Louisville.
02:17
Lost to Louisville.
02:18
- That was the Louisville team that got abused by Pittsburgh?
02:21
How gutless is Narduzzi this year?
02:26
- It's like saying it's the same LSU team
02:28
that lost to Ole Miss.
02:30
We could do this all day.
02:32
The bottom line is-
02:32
- 700 yards of offense.
02:34
Are you kidding me?
02:36
- Get a defense then.
02:37
What do you want me to tell you?
02:39
Play some D, all right?
02:41
You gotta show a little defense.
02:42
- Okay, let me ask you a question.
02:44
If Florida State and Ohio State played on a neutral field,
02:47
what do you think the line would be?
02:49
Three?
02:49
You think they would make Ohio State three?
02:53
- I think they'd be maybe between, maybe four and a half.
02:57
I think Ohio State would be significant.
02:59
- I'd make it a pick.
03:00
Jordan Travis over McCord and right, no, no, no.
03:04
Look, I'll tell you this.
03:06
They're playing well this year.
03:07
Jim Knowles is great.
03:09
He's doing a fantastic job,
03:11
but that offense is still inconsistent.
03:13
And you know what?
03:15
I'll just say this.
03:16
It's just a matter of time.
03:17
They still gotta knock off Michigan.
03:19
And if they can't do that, they're not making the playoff.
03:22
- Oh, I don't disagree with you.
03:24
And that's the one thing about this.
03:25
They put this thing out now.
03:27
We still have a month to go.
03:29
There's so many things.
03:30
Joe, this first one they put out,
03:31
it is never that when we get to the actual selection.
03:35
It's never that.
03:37
- Florida State is not deserving of four.
03:39
Who did Michigan beat?
03:40
- You know what, Joe?
03:41
- Who did Michigan beat?
03:42
- You're right.
03:43
Michigan's beat nobody.
03:45
Zero.
03:46
Nobody.
03:47
Nobody.
03:49
- Anybody see them?
03:50
Clean up on aisle six.
03:51
- Now, I'll say this.
03:54
Now, Florida State, they better not lose a game.
03:57
Because if they have a one loss,
03:59
these other one loss teams, Joe,
04:01
they're gonna jump 'em.
04:02
They're not gonna get in if they have one loss.
04:04
They better go undefeated in that ACC.
04:06
That league is awful this year.
04:08
They're having a real bad year.
04:10
- You're right about that.
04:11
There is no margin of error based off the body of work
04:14
and knowing what Clemson has done
04:16
right in terms of entering this weekend.
04:19
However, we gotta look at the body of work
04:21
about when they played them
04:23
and then give them their due
04:25
in terms of the first rankings.
04:26
It is a little disrespectful.
04:28
That's all I'm gonna say.
04:29
If you wanna bash Georgia
04:31
and you wanna bash Michigan for the lack of consistency
04:34
or not playing anybody,
04:36
you gotta benefit Florida State for stepping up week one
04:40
and stepping up on the road
04:42
in week number three against Clemson.
