00:00Let's go to your rankings.

00:04You have the top 14, Ole Miss finds themselves out after a loss against Florida in which

00:11Jackson Dart threw a couple of really rough interceptions.

00:15Ole Miss, I think you, I both agree is a good team, but they've dropped too many games at

00:20this point, even though Florida is playing like one of the best teams in the country

00:23at the moment.

00:24You have Oregon, Ohio State, Texas as your top three, and I'll let you take it from there.

00:29Five Penn State, Notre Dame, Miami, Georgia.

00:33That's where it starts to get a little funky as you start to rank them.

00:36Yeah, that top seven, I think you're going to find the national champion on that side

00:41right there.

00:42You know, Notre Dame is really trending upward.

00:44I don't even think about the Northern Illinois loss anymore.

00:46I think about how they've looked the last five weeks, dominant on both sides.

00:50Jeremiah Love is emerging as a superstar running back in the game too, the way they handled

00:56Army.

00:57Georgia is the interesting one for me because, okay, their A game is national championship

01:03caliber.

01:05Their bad game is really bad.

01:07When they're turning the ball over, they could get knocked out in the first round, but they

01:10are one of those schools equipped to make that run.

01:13So you'll find the national champion, six of those seven teams, I wouldn't include Miami

01:17as a serious national title contender, although I love their offense and they have the one

01:22quarterback among that top half.

01:25That is a true difference maker.

01:27Cam Ward can carry a team maybe to a playoff victory or two, but Cam Ward doesn't play

01:32defense and special teams and everywhere else.

01:34You know what I mean?

01:35So I think that Miami team might have some trouble getting in if they lose another game.

01:41Yeah.

01:42All right.

01:43So the back half important here, you have Indiana, Tennessee, SMU, Boise State, Arizona

01:49State who's really played themselves into it.

01:51Iowa State and BYU on the outside looking in at A&M is obviously out of the mix now

01:56as well after dropping that game to Auburn.

01:59You have Indiana firmly in.

02:01Do you feel like as the rankings come out tonight that they'll be a little bit more

02:05tenuous than you having them in by a few spots?

02:09They might be down a spot or two, but I mean, they are in based on Ole Miss having that

02:14third loss and Alabama having that third loss.

02:18You know, this allows the committee to keep Indiana in and put Tennessee in with two losses

02:24and they can see them that way and say, see, look, we were fair and I think they will do

02:29that.

02:30The Big 12 is very interesting to me and the other placement is Boise State as of tonight

02:34will probably have a first round bye.

02:36They will be placed ahead of whoever the projected Big 12 champion is, but I think once that

02:42Big 12 team wins the Big 12 champion chip, they'll go right ahead of Boise State because

02:47Boise State, let's be honest, they've struggled the last couple of weeks.

02:50They barely beat Wyoming in week 13.
