00:00My favorite thing that I've seen this week was the story about how much the Ohio State

00:08fans actually hate Ryan Day and want them to lose so that he gets fired.

00:15Yeah, it is amazing.

00:19And we've discussed this a lot.

00:20We've played all these clips of him still talking about the Michigan game, even though

00:25he's got Tennessee on his doorstep doing push-ups tomorrow night in the college football playoff.

00:30But yeah, the stories are out there.

00:32Their fans, they hate him.

00:34And some of them, you might say, are rooting for them to lose in the playoffs so that they

00:40can whack Ryan Day afterwards.

00:44Here he is, believe it or not, not talking about Michigan, instead saying that the Buckeyes

00:51are battle-tested to go on a run in these playoffs.

00:54Well, I think we've played some good teams this year.

00:59We've had three top five opponents, and we've gone, obviously, toe-to-toe with everybody

01:03and won two of them and came up short, obviously, at Oregon.

01:08But they have good players, too, and they've made plays.

01:13But we know what our capability is, and we want to make sure that we're playing our best

01:18game on defense, our best game on offense, and obviously taking care of the football.

01:22And then, obviously, on special teams, you've seen us really make a major impact in the

01:28second half of the season, special teams.

01:29So we have the capability to do that.

01:31I think you've seen that in some of those games, as well.

01:34I wonder what's going on behind the scenes in Columbus with this guy, because they do

01:40not like losing to Michigan, and it's been four years in a row.

01:46And I guarantee you that, I mean, the knives being thrown at this guy's back have to be

01:52just in large-scale numbers.

01:56There are backstabbers everywhere, I guarantee you, trying to get him out in Columbus.

02:01Meanwhile, he's trying to focus on getting his team ready for the playoffs.

02:05A lot of people think that they're the favorite to win it, to win it all.

02:10They think Ohio State's going to win it all.

02:12I still don't believe that.

02:14I really don't.

02:15If that happens, honestly, I'm going to be miserable.

02:18I cannot bear to watch them win a national championship after they can't beat Michigan.

02:24Honestly, I can't.

02:25And they lost to Oregon.

02:26I can't watch them win a national championship.

02:29I just won't be able to tolerate it.

02:31I really won't.

02:33I won't be able to tolerate it, either.

02:35It would be very tough to take.

02:37Look, I think the winner of this game, whoever it is, is going to be in trouble anyway against

02:43Oregon in the next round.

02:46Whoever gets through this.

02:47Now, this is back to seven and a half for Tennessee at the SHU tomorrow night.

02:52Forty-six and a half is the total.

02:55So the lowest total out of our four first-round games is in Columbus on Saturday night.

03:00Yeah, that's the thing.

03:04I think it's too many points to begin with with the spread.

03:08And I think both of these teams can score.

03:11So I'm not afraid of that number.

03:15And you know, what I'm afraid of is them going in there and laying an egg in the cold weather

03:20in Columbus at the SHU and not showing up.

03:24I mean, they don't play in cold weather either.

03:26And that's just all there is to it.

03:28And we'll see if they're man enough to go in there and dance with them.

03:31You know, a crappy seven and five Michigan team showed up because it means something

03:37to them.

03:38It has to mean something to Tennessee, like you're in the playoff.

03:41Here you go.

03:42Here's your chance.

03:43Hypo.

03:44Don't screw it up.

03:45I just cannot believe I can't even fathom the number seven and a half.

03:49That team's too good.

03:50They're playing.

03:51Yeah.

03:52I'm going to take a shot with Tennessee.

03:55I know it's it's true.

03:58But Ohio State has been pumped up all year long with stuff like this.

04:02You know, people you know that the books pump Ohio State up.

04:06I actually think that the key to this game is Tennessee's defensive line.

04:11I think they're very good and they're very physical.

04:14And I think that they're going to get in Will Howard's face.

04:17And that's going to cause a major problem.

04:19Maybe they can get themselves a turnover.

04:21Things like that.

04:22Short field.

04:23I'm going to go seven and a half with Tennessee and I'll be rooting for them to win the game

04:26outright along with it.

04:28I think it'll be a lot of fun.
