00:00The Crack Crab and Lobster Committee put out their inaugural college football playoff rankings

00:11last night.

00:12So here are the actual rankings themselves.

00:14Now, you got to remember, well, listen, remember, far away for us, not for everyone, not for

00:23everyone at home, Oregon, Ohio State, Georgia, Miami, Texas, in the top five for you.

00:29But really, you know, that doesn't make too much of a difference because, as you know,

00:35the top four conference champions are the ones that will get the bye.

00:40So somebody from the Big 12, and right now BYU's ninth, that's the highest ranked Big

00:4612 team.

00:47And obviously teams like Iowa State and Colorado are still very much in the mix for that.

00:52One of them will get the jump and Ohio State will slid down.

00:55Here's the tree.

00:56to see this as well, which is what the bracket would look like today.

01:01And there it is for you.

01:02Notre Dame, Penn State would play Georgia, Alabama, Texas would play Miami, Ohio State,

01:08Boise would play BYU, and Indiana, Tennessee would play Oregon.

01:12That, of course, is just as right there.

01:16Well, as I said to you, if Indiana beats Ohio State in a couple of weeks and they get themselves

01:22into the Big 10 championship game and maybe win that too, they'll have a bye.

01:26They won't have to worry about playing anyone in the first round if all those things happen.

01:30I will keel over if they win in Columbus.

01:34I have been watching them my whole life, and they have never won there ever.

01:40Not once ever.

01:41Ever.

01:42Ever.

01:43But you know what?

01:44They've done a lot of things this year that they've never done, and they're starting to

01:47do them.

01:48But that's the pinnacle.

01:50They've never won in Columbus.

01:51But they're moving their way up the mountain here.

01:53I mean, they're 14-point favorites over Michigan this week.

01:56Imagine saying that ever in your lifetime.

01:59In Bloomington.

02:00So anything's possible for this Indiana team.

02:04Listen, I think that kid Rourke is really good at what he's doing, and Michigan doesn't

02:11have a quarterback at all.

02:14So I don't think they're going to have the ball that much.

02:18So I think this guy Rourke's going to go to work like a master chef.

02:22Like carve him up.
