00:00Virginia's four and two. They're going to Death Valley to take on Clemson in Clemson.

00:09They're five and one. They've been hot lately. Clemson's laying 20. It's at noon in the heat.

00:17I will tell you something. You know, I was at Clemson as an analyst three years ago when

00:20I was Tony Elliott's analyst. And I know Dabo, who coached for my brother at Clemson. I know

00:25Tony Elliott. And they are great friends. And Dabo's kind of a mentor. Virginia will be lucky

00:32to play in this game. But you know what? I don't think Dabo will run it in. I don't think he wants

00:36to add points on. I think he'll lay off at the end, unless he's so far ahead at the beginning

00:41to back up score too much. So I've got Virginia to get the points. But I think Clemson's going

00:46to beat them. But I think there's a special relationship between Dabo and Elliott. I don't

00:51think he wants to. He won't rub it in if he has a chance. He won't rub it in.

00:54Does Army and Navy both stay undefeated? Army's playing East Carolina. Navy's playing Charlotte.

01:01Do they both stay undefeated? Absolutely. I mean, it would be a fantastic situation

01:06if those guys could run the table. And then the college football playoffs got to make some big

01:10decisions. Because tell me how many people would love to see Army or Navy in the college football

01:15playoff. May not happen, but would love to see it. So Notre Dame's going to the Benz in Atlanta

01:21to take on Georgia Tech. That game is not at Bobby Dodd. They're playing it in the Falcon Stadium.

01:27And Super Bowl in 2028 will be there. Super Bowl 62. Georgia Tech will not have King their

01:34quarterback. They're going with the veteran backup that they have on the sideline. Does that ruin

01:39their chances against the Irish? It's Notre Dame laying 14. Absolutely. Absolutely. Notre Dame knows

01:45what they've got to do. The more they can distance themselves from Illinois, which was just an

01:50outlier. That's not the way they play. The more they can distance from that game,

01:53the more they know they are in the hunt for a college football playoff. And I think with

01:57Hanes King not playing, I think Notre Dame's going to win and Notre Dame's going to cover.
