00:00
Uh, I don't know if you heard us, but listen, I know I'm a Cain Homer and I just admitted
00:10
on television all over the world that they don't have fans.
00:15
Their fans are like a pocket of idiots that I love, but they're basically a group of people
00:20
that you're old school guys, right?
00:22
Old school, old school crew from the UD games.
00:26
Nobody's there.
00:28
I mean, half the stadium's empty when they play at the Hard Rock, but here's the deal.
00:32
Alabama obviously is a gigantic business and a gigantic fan base.
00:36
I get it.
00:37
They've won all the titles.
00:38
They've had Bear Bryant, all the rest, Nick Saban, and I get it, but you cannot explain
00:43
away to me the facts of their losses at Vanderbilt and Oklahoma, which were pathetic and Miami's
00:51
losses to Georgia Tech and Syracuse were both great games, both violent games, five
00:57
point and a four point game, and against two really good quarterbacks, Haynes King and
01:02
McCord.
01:03
I mean, this is absolute bullshit to me.
01:05
I'm a Cain fan, but there's no way you could sell me nine and three over a 10 and two team
01:09
that lost by one score in both games on the road.
01:12
Well, I tweeted it out on, um, I tweeted it out on, on Friday when they played actually.
01:18
So it was past Friday night and, you know, we heard Nick Saban say last week, well, if
01:22
Ole Miss were in the, the ACC or the big 12, what would their record be?
01:27
Kind of insinuating that they wouldn't lose games.
01:29
They wouldn't have lost as many games.
01:31
And the thing is Georgia Tech, Georgia Tech are an ACC team.
01:36
They shoulda, coulda, woulda beaten the Georgia Bulldogs, right?
01:39
They took them to eight overtimes.
01:42
There's an ACC team, boy, you're mighty Georgia Bulldogs in the SEC.
01:46
Georgia, it's too bad Georgia Tech didn't knock them off just to cause, you know, just
01:50
to really shut the SEC up.
01:53
You know, Miami have a case to be upset about.
01:56
There's no debates, but this is the problem, bro.
01:58
Now that we made it a 12 team playoff, I said, wow, now there's going to be a big argument
02:02
about who's the 13th best team in the country is, right?
02:05
Sort of like the NCAA tournament.
02:08
Miami brought this upon themselves.
02:10
The Syracuse loss is tough, but Syracuse are a good football team, right?
02:14
Syracuse aren't a bad football team.
02:15
And something you said too, you look at Bama's losses, bro.
02:19
I mean, they were like three touchdown favorites, right?
02:22
I mean, they got smoked by the Oklahoma Sooners.
02:25
That should have counted for something.
02:27
It should have meant something.
02:28
And I do agree with you.
02:30
This thing is very political and business-like.
02:33
They're worried about TV ratings.
02:34
They're worried about selling tickets for these games.
02:36
They don't want empty stadiums.
02:37
And Scott's right.
02:38
The fact of the matter is, hell, Miami home games don't sell out.
02:41
You think these guys are going to go on the road somewhere, right?
02:44
The school's not that big to begin with.
02:46
There's not enough students.
02:47
There's not enough.
02:48
And that comes into play here.
02:50
They're thinking about it.
02:50
Are we going to fill stadiums?
02:51
What's the TV ratings going to be?
02:53
That comes into play.
02:55
I understand your frustration.
02:56
I honestly believe Scott, Alabama, and Miami
02:59
are like brutally, painfully equal football teams.
03:03
It'd be a really fun game to see them play, right?
03:06
Cam Ward versus Mill Road, a game would be a track meet.
03:09
Miami could beat anybody in the country.
03:11
They could lose to anybody in this playoff format as well.
03:14
But it looks like the Canes are going to get screwed
03:16
and be on the outside looking in.
03:18
And the fact is, the committee just hates the ACC, Scott.
03:21
They don't give the ACC enough credit.
03:23
Like I said, Georgia Tech's out there.
03:25
They nearly beat Georgia.
03:26
Georgia Tech's a good football team.
03:28
They played Georgia at that eight-point game last year, too.
03:31
So all this mighty SEC crap, I'm not really buying into it.
03:36
Yeah, they're good.
03:37
They're a good football program.
03:39
And they knew they blew that game.
03:41
They were up 17-0.
03:43
You said it yesterday.
03:45
They had a chance to score and two-blank to win the game,
03:47
and they didn't do it.
03:48
And the coach rued the day that he made that bad decision.
03:51
And then we said earlier, if McCord played at Ohio State,
03:55
they would have already won a national championship.
03:57
Howard's the reason they suck.
03:59
They're not that good.
04:00
The kid at Cuse is a better quarterback.
04:02
The kid at Cuse has better numbers than Ward on the season
04:08
and wasn't even mentioned for the Heisman Trophy.
04:12
It's a good point.
04:12
Look how he turned that program around.
04:14
Like, seriously, like they started winning games.
04:16
Like they basically, and they admitted it.
04:19
They were like, what a difference
04:20
a transfer portal quarterback can make.
04:21
Like, you know, McCord, it really is, you know,
04:25
Ryan Day deserves it.
04:26
And there's another one, Scott.
04:27
Like, welcome to the playoffs, bro.
04:29
This is it.
04:30
Let's just be real.
04:31
We all knew the SEC and the Big Ten,
04:33
they're basically like the Genoveses and the Gambinos, bro.
04:38
I'm just throwing out two, you know what I mean?
04:40
You got two crime families, they're running it.
04:44
Everybody else is like, they're going to get the scraps.
