00:00the game.

00:05Boise got it done.

00:06They beat you and LV.

00:07They handled their business on

00:09the blue carpet and here they

00:11are sitting as a three seed and

00:13they're going to meet the winner

00:15of that SMU Penn State game.

00:17How do you think they'll do in

00:19this playoff.

00:20They've done everything else the

00:21right way all season.

00:24Yeah, I think they'll be fine.

00:25You know, I think going in, it's

00:26going to be a challenge though.

00:27I mean, we talked about earlier

00:28Penn State's the team that gets

00:29the most wins.

00:30You know, again, they're going

00:31to face a team that's got a good

00:33offense that plays that plays

00:34decent defense, you know, had a

00:36pretty tough schedule this year.

00:38I mean, you can't argue the fact

00:39that the Big Ten schedule is a

00:40lot better than the Mountain

00:41West schedule.

00:42You know, we saw Boise State do

00:44all the things that needs to do.

00:45Austin Gentry is probably going

00:46to be a Heisman finalist.

00:48He's a guy that's definitely

00:49going to be among the top two

00:51players, maybe two or three

00:52players in that mix for that

00:53award.

00:54So, you know, they're going to

00:55continue to rely on giving him

00:57the football.

00:58You know, maybe a little bit too

00:59much there and can find a way to

01:01pull it up.

01:02But kudos to what Boise State has

01:03done this year, proving that,

01:04you know, again, a G5 school can

01:06finally make its way into the

01:07playoff discussion.

01:09So, George is the two.

01:11They beat Texas.

01:12It was a great game.

01:14And then they're going to meet

01:15the winner of Indiana, Notre

01:16Dame.

01:17That game's in South Bend.

01:19Who do you like in that game?

01:21And then how do you think

01:22Georgia will do against the

01:23winner?

01:25You know, I, you know, listen,

01:27I don't like a game in late,

01:28mid-December that's going to be

01:29in the low 20s on a Friday

01:30night.

01:31Listen, I'm from there.

01:32I know what it's like.

01:33I like Notre Dame in this game.

01:35As much as I think Indiana has

01:36had an amazing season and Kirk

01:38Cignetti's done an amazing job

01:40with that program, this is

01:41Notre Dame.

01:42You're playing at South Bend

01:43Stadium.

01:44You know, I think there's going

01:45to be a huge crowd there for

01:46this game.

01:47I think Notre Dame has kind of

01:48rolled off a bunch of wins since

01:50some of that early struggles

01:51they had losing to Northern

01:52Illinois.

01:53I think they've looked really

01:54good.

01:55I think they win this game.

01:56And they go into the Georgia

01:57game, and I think what's

01:58interesting to me about the

01:59Georgia game is we don't know

02:00what's going to happen to

02:01Carson Beck.

02:02We know he's hurt, right?

02:03You know, they're trying to see

02:04if he can get back healthy and

02:05make sure he can be available.

02:06If he's not available, how is

02:08this Georgia team going to be a

02:09little bit different?

02:10I know they survived and they

02:11beat Texas, but do they have

02:12enough to do the same sort of

02:13thing?

02:14I think that's going to be the

02:15challenge.

02:16And I think, again, if Georgia

02:17finds a way to get past, let's

02:18say, Notre Dame, you know, then

02:20this says a lot about the job

02:21that Kirby Smart has been able

02:22to do because Georgia, I think,

02:24at times, hasn't been the best

02:26place to start.

02:27I think that's going to be the

02:28challenge.
