00:00Now, Joe, the second game of our three tomorrow in the CFP

00:06that I am very excited to break down with you based on what you

00:10said earlier as we set the stage for the for this first

00:14ever twelve team field. Texas, the largest favorite in the

00:18opening round. Eleven and a half points at home in Austin

00:22taking on the twelve seed Clemson who of course was that

00:27big stealer in the ACC championship. Total stands at

00:31fifty-one and a hook. The reason I'm intrigued Joe is

00:34because you said the Tigers at a sixty to one price to win a

00:38national championship presented some value but of course you

00:41gotta win some games certainly past the opening round to make

00:45that even a cash out option. Are you saying you think Clemson

00:49is live tomorrow for the outright upset in Austin? Well,

00:54I mean, let's if we're being realistic here, this Texas

00:59team, I mean, listen, they have been a top five team all year.

01:03I love the Texas defense but I also loved it last year, Ben,

01:07when they lost twenty-two to nineteen against a shorthanded

01:12Georgia team in the title game. We have seen this over the last

01:17couple of years with Sarkisian. They get to these big games

01:21here and it's either by the skin or they outright lose. You

01:26have got a Clemson team that has been in playoff mode, Ben,

01:30for what? The last six weeks of the season? Yeah. Uh a lot of

01:34people counted out Clemson two months ago. Uh and a lot of

01:38people counted him out the minute that they got absolutely

01:41destroyed by Georgia in the first game but you know what

01:44we've seen in typical dabbo fashion, he's got all five star

01:49recruits there as well. These are not, there is nothing about

01:52this game that screams blow out to me. The only thing is roles

01:56are reversed. Dabbo's playing with house money and Sarkisian

02:00has all the pressure in the world in this game to get his

02:04team ready. They may win but boy oh boy, covering eleven and a

02:09half. Yeah, I don't think so.
