00:04 Donnie Michigan now a solo favorite to win the national championship.

00:09 Plus 230, 20 cents in front of Georgia.

00:11 I'm not so sure why.

00:13 Michigan did not cover as a 32 and a half point favorite at home against Purdue.

00:18 Neither did Georgia.

00:20 Florida State didn't cover.

00:21 They're 6-1.

00:22 Ohio State the fourth best price at plus 750.

00:25 The most significant movement we saw, Donnie.

00:27 Alabama now 8-1 with the path crystal clear to an SEC title game.

00:32 Oregon dominant once again.

00:34 Bo Nix throws for over 380 yards.

00:37 The Ducks now a 10-1 price in front of Washington, fifth best in the country.

00:42 >> Look, I love Oregon.

00:44 I do think if there's a rematch here going up against Washington,

00:47 I'm gonna give them the favor.

00:48 I think their defense overall is better.

00:49 Bo Nix is a great quarterback.

00:51 Can go toe to toe with Penix here.

00:52 But the question being is, finally with Michigan, 9-0 in the season,

00:56 6-0 in conference play.

00:58 Gonna get a test there from the Penn State Nittany Lions,

01:01 having to go on the road to win that football game.

01:03 We'll see if they can do that.

01:04 And also, the pressure build up for Michigan there.

01:07 We're probably gonna hear even more of a story of Connor Stallions this week,

01:11 of where he was, where he was not supposed to be.

01:13 And also, I know this, I think, happened later.

01:15 So after the show on Friday, did anybody find this significant that he was

01:19 actually fired from Michigan?

01:21 But I thought he didn't do anything wrong.

01:22 You can't lose your job and get fired there.

01:24 He's gonna have, he could sue the university for $50 million for

01:27 wrongful termination.

01:29 No, he won't.

01:29 Why?

01:30 Because he did everything, one of those transgressions that we saw here.

01:33 I wanna see that play out because in a week,

01:35 you need to be focused on beating a competitive Penn State team.

01:39 You're gonna answer many more questions about,

01:41 is this a legitimate season for Michigan?

01:43 And rightfully so, Ben.

01:44 >> Right now, the spread is five and a half in favor of the Maize and Blue.

01:48 On the road in Happy Valley, the early look ahead line was seven.

01:52 It is dropping back to the way of Penn State.

01:55 I have jumped on it plus six and a half for the Nittany Lions.

01:58 Connor Stallions, Donnie, is many things, but one thing he is not is a snitch.

02:03 He refused to cooperate with internal or

02:06 external investigations into the Michigan football sign stealing operation.

02:11 And thus, it led to his resignation, termination, whatever.

02:15 There will be a lot more details that comes out this week.

02:18 Potential punishment from the Big Ten League office,

02:21 maybe on the line this weekend for Jim Harbaugh and

02:24 the Michigan football program as well.
