00:00Uh, odds to win the college football playoff, uh, still Georgia as the favorite here at

00:10plus three 25 Ohio state plus four 50 Oregon, Texas, Penn state, Clemson, Tennessee, Alabama,

00:16Miami, Texas a and M everyone else 40 to one or longer, uh, right now on the list for the

00:24odds to make it.

00:26I mean, is that not amazing to you at some level that Miami's that far down the totem

00:33pole and there ain't no, especially since if you correlate that with this next thing,

00:39which is what you sent me in terms of the, uh, percentage chance to make the college

00:45football playoff, you sent me this today.

00:47So Miami's way down on that board to win it, but they at 89.6% have the highest chance

00:54to make the college football playoff.

00:57Oregon is 87.3 Penn state and Georgia also, uh, very high on that list there.

01:04Notre Dame, 59% Indiana, 68.2% chance to make the college football playoff right now, uh,

01:12on the big board.

01:13You know, that is amazing to me now, if they get into the college football playoff, that

01:18will truly blow my mind.

01:19They can't make the NCAA basketball tournament, uh, and it's a basketball, uh, you know, heaven

01:26is Indiana university and Bloomington and assembly hall.

01:31That's just all there.

01:32That's where heaven is for, for college basketball in case you didn't know.

01:35And yet they can't make the NCAA basketball tournament with 68 teams.

01:40But you're telling me the Indiana football program, who's had one good year in their

01:44history, 1967, that they're going to make the first college football, 12 playoff teams.

01:50You gotta be kidding me.

01:51You can't even make this up.

01:53It would be pretty, pretty unbelievable if that guy makes the playoff in his first year

01:58in Bloomington, getting them into the college world, that'd be insane.

02:03If he does that, if he gets in to the playoff, that he will leave Indiana for the first big

02:10job that comes calling.

02:12Yes, I do.

02:14I actually think you making the college football playoff as Ellis, of course you want to be

02:19there and you want to make it, but it might not be the best thing long-term for Indiana

02:24football because one of these giants is going to knock on his door and offer him more money

02:33to go coach there.

02:35And we've already seen the guy.

02:36He's a, he's a stepping stone guy.

02:38He moves, he's been moving up the ladder.

02:42And I think that they got to get it while it's hot, it's one, get it now while it's

02:47hot.

02:48Now there's one other thing I've seen a lot of people talking about, and that's close

02:52to you as well as Pitt is now at 20% to make the college football playoff.

02:57They're undefeated.

02:58Of course, Pitt.

02:59Uh, I've seen some people start to say that, uh, the Penn State Pitt thing, Penn State

03:05ducks Pitt, as we know, they don't play them ever.

03:08In the regular season anymore.

03:10And the Pitt fans want Penn State in the playoffs.

03:13So that way they could get them and say, you don't want to play us.

03:16Well, now you got to play us a Pitt Penn State game in the playoffs.

03:20How juicy would that be?

03:21Now, listen, I would love to see Pitt do well growing up in Pittsburgh.

03:26I went to a million Pitt games in my life.

03:28I saw everything.

03:29I saw Tony Dorsett, Hugh Green, Dan Marino, saw them all, but I'll say this.

03:34I think they got their hands full at Gerald Ford in Dallas on Saturday night.

03:39And I cannot believe we said this yesterday, that this game is not on television.

03:42It's on that crappy ACC network now, no offense to the ACC network, but does anyone alive

03:47have it?

03:49Does anyone alive have that channel?

03:51Like I've never seen it before in my life.

03:53So all I know is that one of the best games in college football this weekend, you can't

03:57watch it unless you have this thing, which no one does.

04:00And all I know is, I think that, I think they stumble in Dallas.

04:04I think that SMU team can beat them at that place.

04:07I mean, it's going to be lit and hostile.

04:10Okay.

04:11So it is what it is.

04:12We'll see if they can get it done.

04:13They stay undefeated and win that game, then they're going to, they have nothing left to

04:18worry about.

04:19I think that's their last big game, right?

04:21I mean, this season it's almost over, right?

04:24Am I crazy?
