00:00There is some college for you. Georgia State visiting Marshall in the Sunbelt tonight minus

00:09nine and a half for the Thundering Herd and then ACC game Boston College visiting Blacksburg

00:16to see Virginia Tech who's seven and a half point favorites here with a 48 and a half

00:22total.

00:24Yeah, I got to tell you so I'm on I definitely bet Virginia Tech today and I laid the points

00:32actually, you know, I think they played him there a few years ago. I remember a big game

00:37on a Thursday night and they beat him like 30 to 10 and Virginia Tech impressed me against

00:43Miami. They really did and then Boston College impressed me when they played their first

00:49couple of games right and then they kind of fell back into being Boston College again,

00:54right that they're not playing. Well, they have a quarterback. I'll give you that much.

00:59So it is sketchy lay in the seven and a half, but that Lane Stadium will be rocking tonight

01:05in Blacksburg and I think Va Tech needs this desperately and I think that other games going

01:10to be wild Marshall and Georgia State. I think they go over.

01:15Looks like a good over to me as well tonight total written that one. Like I said, 51 and

01:20a half for Georgia State and Marshall lots of potential for points there. All right,

01:25most impressive turnaround here as we've hit kind of the halfway point for pretty much

01:30everybody in college football. We have Indiana at six and oh, they were three and nine last

01:35year Miami from seven to six six and now BYU six and oh after a five and seven year Army

01:41and Navy both six and oh and five and oh and then Nebraska five and one great turnarounds

01:46so far in college football. Well, I think the you know, frankly, the most important

01:52one to me is is the Miami Hurricanes. I know I'm a Canes fan my whole life, but the reality

01:58is you know it and so does everybody else if you can't admit the fact that college football

02:03is better when Miami's good. It's no different than the NBA is better when the Lakers and

02:09the Celtics are good and that's just all there is to it. I think Miami being undefeated

02:15and mattering and being in the top 10 being number six pulling a couple of games out of

02:20their arse. They got a great quarterback. Everyone wants the best teams in college football

02:27to be at their peak every year and Miami when they're good. It makes college football better

02:32without a doubt. I actually don't think anyone cares about BYU. I think they're a really

02:39good team. I like them. They win in Provo and they cover. I don't think anyone really

02:43cares that Army and Navy are undefeated more people care about the Army Navy game itself

02:51than they do the fact that both of those teams are undefeated and both of them are ranked.

02:57I mean, let's face facts if Army and Navy played any of the teams in my opinion in the

03:02top five or top 10. They're going to lose smashed is what would happen. Uh Stanton walked

03:10by the way. So first and second with jazz Chisholm up now. This is the end of this rally.

03:17Christ a lot of confidence in jazz here as he comes up against Boyd with two on and two

03:23out in the top of the first divorce ahead. I'm surprised he found one off this this Boyd

03:31as we know, he's usually not long for these games. Anyway, three innings four innings

03:36and he's and they're racking him up here taking all these pitches. He's already in the mid

03:4020s in the first inning. So once again, just like the first out looking struck out looking

03:46at bars. He snuck out looking you go and then he's arguing with the up. It's up already

03:51given the Yankees the business in the first inning with the call with the bad boy and

03:56the call on the check swing on judge and the third that's right on jazz was low and

04:01down and he gave him that strike. So they already are given the the the dugout is given

04:07this guy heat already. If they keep it up. I won't be surprised. He tosses Boone. That

04:13was an awful third strike call. That ball was low, very, very low underneath the zone

04:21bad call by that. Um, so that like you said that I'm off to a very shaky start in the

04:26business as they go to the bottom of the first in Cleveland. Cam Ward leads the ACC in passing

04:33yards. He's been unbelievable so far. Of course, Alabama and Tennessee. We're going to talk

04:37a lot more about all these huge games tomorrow on a Friday, a pain-free Friday going into

04:42the weekend on coast to coast. They have won nine of their last 10 games against Tennessee.

04:48The traditional third Saturday in October matchup between the tide and the Vols. That's

04:55so once again, we will discuss more tomorrow, Tennessee. One thing I'll say about this is

04:59Tennessee Scott. Remember when they were scoring like 50 60 points every week at the beginning

05:05of the year. What happened to that? You need to find a they need to find a little bit more

05:08of that because the last few weeks against Arkansas and Florida, they've lost that love

05:15scarred 24 points against Alabama. Highest college football coaches this year. Only seven

05:24reach the 10 million plus Mark this year. Scotty Kirby, smart Dabo, Sweeney, Sarkisian,

05:30Lincoln, Riley, Ryan Day, Mike Norvell and Kalen DeBoer. Those top seven all make 10 million or

05:36more. Kelly, Mark Stoops, Lane Kiffin, Eli Drinkwits and Josh Eipel finish off your list

05:43there. Man, Mark Stoops, nine million bucks a year at Kentucky. Look out. Listen, he doesn't

05:50deserve it. He doesn't deserve nine million dollars for the job that he does. And let their

05:58average and they've always been average. And I'll tell you, another guy that's overpaid is Lincoln

06:03Riley. I mean, he's making a boatload of money and not doing anything. He was better at Oklahoma.

06:10And what is he doing? USC guys lose big games. That has been a bad investment for USC so far.

06:19All that money that they've got that money because it's Alabama. I don't think he's worth

06:26that much money anywhere else. He's not making that kind of money. He didn't make no 10 million

06:32dollars at Washington. You get that coach in Alabama. You can thank Nick Saban for that.

06:40Precisely right. That's what you need to do. Here we go. A couple of racks for you here.

06:45Ramirez still up against Schmitt. Wisconsin at Northwestern this week. A couple of big

06:5110 games for you. Wisconsin, the road favorite. UCLA at Rutgers. Arizona State visiting Cincinnati.

06:58South Carolina goes to Oklahoma. Oklahoma minus one and a half. And USC, who we were just talking

07:03about, seven and a half point favorites going all the way across the country to College Park.

07:10To see Maryland on Saturday afternoon. Well, they're better than Maryland. I think they'll

07:16win in College Park. We saw Northwestern win in College Park last week and no one saw that coming.

07:22But I think Northwestern loses in Chicago to Wisconsin. I think Wisconsin's starting to play

07:27good football for Fickle. They seem to have found their way. So I'm going to go Badgers. Rutgers

07:34laid an egg at home the last time they played in Piscataway. I still think they're better than UCLA

07:41on Saturday. Arizona State is a very interesting team. They're going to give Cincinnati problems.

07:48I say the Sun Devils go to Cincinnati and knock off the Bearcats. And I'll tell you what,

07:55I want no part of that Oklahoma-South Carolina game. Oklahoma will win that game because the

08:01game's in Norman and they'll get all the calls. But Oklahoma looks terrible to me and their

08:05quarterbacks stink. They're awful. Certainly do. Schmidt did strike out Ramirez. Great pitch too

08:12to do it, to get the first out of the inning. Another ground out. So they got two outs now

08:18and they got runners at second and third. Okay, so Naylor grounds out with the fielder's choice

08:24there. Got to get this next guy to be able to get out of there. Yeah, they weren't going to

08:28turn two on that one. So nice job by Birdie getting the out. Two down with second and third.

08:34North Carolina State. NC State's going to Cal. I'll quickly run these in. Houston, Kansas. Baylor,

08:39Texas Tech. Iowa, Michigan State. And North Texas and Memphis. Actually good game in the American.

08:45Both have played well. Yeah, look, I think that number's too big in the Memphis game,

08:52believe it or not. And I think Iowa goes to East Lansing and wins.

08:57I think they're better than Michigan State, hands down. They're going to get out of it.

09:01Jazz over at third, throw to first, out, out of the jam. Great job with the defense, especially

09:06Birdie at first with a snag in the dirt with a short hop. Baylor, Texas Tech. Watch out,

09:12they're tough to beat in Lubbock. I like the Red Raiders. Houston and Kansas. I want no part of

09:18that. Give me the under. Kansas sucks. They can't, I mean, they can't cover. They can't win. Their

09:25girlfriends are ugly. NC State at Cal. They're going to go out to Berkeley and lose to Cal,

09:31but that's a giant number for Cal to cover.
