00:06Does it feel fitting to you to

00:08see the Ducks as the short

00:10favorite to win the Big Ten

00:11entering the month of November?

00:12Absolutely. And and the only

00:14game outside of this one that I

00:15would say is a roadblock is the

00:17rivalry game just because it's

00:19Washington and they you know

00:21they hate each other. It's one

00:22of the hated rivalries in

00:24college football. From an

00:25offensive perspective, I don't

00:26think Wisconsin is going to

00:27provide much with brain lock.

00:29I think it's clear sailing in

00:31regards to that and there's no

00:32doubt in my opinion that Oregon

00:34would be in the Big Ten

00:35championship game in a couple

00:36weeks. Well, Oregon is minus

00:38900 on a book to make the title

00:41game. So yeah, the having the

00:43tiebreaker of Ohio State, they

00:45absolutely all signs point to

00:47them being there. What is still

00:50bothersome to me, you know, I

00:53we talked about this a few

00:54times, but preseason I expected

00:56Bama to beat Georgia and I was

00:57hoping I'd be able to better

00:58Georgia national title ticket in

01:00season Jack. I was expecting

01:02Oregon to be Ohio State and I'd

01:04bet Ohio State to win the Big

01:05Ten in season. Well, halfway

01:08there. The Ohio State number is

01:10truly preposterous. Yeah, the

01:12Buckeyes are minus 115 to make

01:14the title game. Okay, again,

01:17they still have to win today's

01:19game. The Indiana one is tricky

01:20but but still minus 115 to make

01:22it plus 165 to win it again.

01:25Oregon is minus 900 to make it

01:27and plus 105 to win it. If we

01:30get the favorites and we get

01:32Ohio State in Oregon in a

01:34rematch. I think the books are

01:36telling us that not only will

01:38Ohio State be favored in the

01:39game. They're not going to have

01:41that team laying any less than

01:43five six points in that rematch

01:46there, which is again pretty

01:48incredible to see here

01:50considering the way things are

01:52lining up right now. Let's

01:53think about last year in the

01:54final year of the Pac-12 the

01:57Ducks were a slight favorite in

01:58Seattle in the regular season

02:00matchup against UW and then

02:02we're a nine and a half point

02:03favorite for the Pac-12 title

02:05game in Las Vegas. Of course

02:07that Washington won outright

02:09Kev. I think it's a touchdown

02:10if these two teams play each

02:12other in Indianapolis. I think

02:13it's Ohio State laying six and a

02:15half or seven. It would be that

02:17based on the odds that we see

02:19now Ohio State's remaining

02:21schedule after today. They have

02:23Purdue a road trip to

02:25Northwestern second to last

02:26Saturday against Indiana at home

02:29and then the rivalry game that

02:30is the game. Kev you made this

02:33point last week as Penn State

02:34headed to Camp Randall to take

02:36on Wisconsin that game actually

02:38more impactful despite the

02:40headlines in the narrative than

02:42this week's game against Ohio

02:44State because if Penn State

02:45loses today, all right, they've

02:47got one loss. Maybe they don't

02:49reach the Big Ten championship

02:50with their college football

02:51playoff lives still very much

02:53their home game against

02:54Washington road trips to Purdue

02:56and Minnesota before they end

02:58the year back in State College

03:00against Maryland Penn State

03:02might lose this game today. And

03:03even if that's the case and they

03:05run their final for the Nittany

03:06Lions are in the college

03:07football playoff more than

03:08likely. Yeah, 100% I actually

03:10think incredibly the team that

03:11you we we have to try and figure

03:13out if Ohio State loses today.

03:15Yep, but beats Indiana neither

03:17team makes the Big Ten title

03:19game 10 and two Buckeyes 11 and

03:21one Hoosiers. How the committee

03:23handles that? Well, I Indiana

03:25still would have the inside

03:26track because wouldn't know Ohio

03:27State have two conference losses

03:29and Indiana would have one

03:31correct, but Penn State more

03:32than likely. Yeah, Penn State

03:34Oregon, but I would be some time

03:35right? Yeah, there would be some

03:36time. I mean, it's intriguing.

03:38I think if Ohio State loses

03:40today, they're done. I mean in

03:42terms of the conference, I think

03:43oh, yeah, stick a fork in them

03:45and then what would that line be

03:47if they ever faced Oregon and

03:48here's what's on tap for IU a

03:50road trip to East Lansing against

03:52Michigan State today. We'll

03:53break down that game in just a

03:55little bit. They then host

03:56Michigan. They'd be booked as a

03:58favorite in that one by week

04:00road trip to Ohio State. They

04:01end the year against Purdue.
