00:00Okay, so now your big takeaway from last week, and again, it is a fair assessment, Bill,

00:09and you and I were both on the same page here.

00:11We probably could have mentioned five teams in the SEC before we got to Texas A&M to think

00:16that they had any potential for anything this year.

00:18I mean, what does it say, by the way, about Jimbo Fisher?

00:20Let's be clear.

00:21This has been a really impressive season for them, regardless if they make it to the playoff.

00:25Yeah.

00:27And I think the question now is, who do they turn to?

00:29Is it going to be Marcel Reed or Connor Wigman?

00:32Marcel Reed came in, ran for three touchdowns.

00:34They got that running game going, erased a 10-point deficit against LSU and a huge win.

00:42They are the only unbeaten team in conference play.

00:44Their schedule is set up.

00:47If they can get through South Carolina this weekend, which is a tricky road game, as you

00:51know, playing at night, Williams-Brice Stadium, ABC is going to be there, they're going to

00:55be amped up, and they play New Mexico State, then they play Auburn, it's going to be 10-1

01:01when they play Texas.

01:02And that's something I knew that game was going to be huge when Texas and Texas A&M

01:07were going to see each other.

01:08They haven't played forever.

01:10I didn't know that it could be a battle of 10-1 teams.

01:13So that's only going to add fire to what happens at Kyle Field if the Aggies can take care

01:18of their business.

01:19I think they're looking really good as a playoff team, if you're betting on those things, because

01:23they would probably get in at 10-2 at this point.

01:26There are only losses to Notre Dame.

01:28It's not a bad loss.
