Today I am here with Ryan Krista and we are going over the beginning I kind of talked about last week and talked about what over the big 10 a little bit I kind of went over that Pac 12 but this week is literally the start of the big 10 seasons. I’m here with Brian Krista. How you doing man?

Ryan Christa
Good. How are you Tyler? Glad to join you and excited to have another power five conference starting up this week. They’re getting closer to full season here.

Tyler Turner
I know I know. It’s it seems like an awesome like forever, didn’t it?

Ryan Christa
Awesome. Awesome. Nice to have them out. And last because I’m looking at ESPN today and I see games on past eight o’clock, which is nice, you know,

Tyler Turner
versus we don’t they?

Ryan Christa
Yeah.

Tyler Turner
And they sort of the the crazy thing about the Wild West starting this week is they didn’t get to start practicing. I think I don’t think they announced until after the PAC 12 so they probably didn’t get to start Practicing any sooner than the back 12 so I just wonder how those initial Mountain West games are gonna rock

Ryan Christa
dead tired some bad tackling. You gotta think about San Diego State. Yeah, San Jose State, Fresno, they don’t like their rules. They have a practice and all that, like,

Tyler Turner
I believe we have the California schools if I’m not mistaken, actually left the state to get ready. I think they were

Ryan Christa
I can’t I read an article about a San Jose State one. I don’t think they left the state but they left Santa Clara, California comes to some high school as a practice because I think a Santa Clara de where Stanford is they have the strictest COVID rules where it’s like, no more than 10 people. You know, after so many of you will have all you have to wipe it off.

Tyler Turner
San Francisco even was I think they practice at a high school outside of Santa Clara County. For the first like five days they didn’t even their first five days weren’t at Stanford either. Now they’re able to do it. So yeah, yeah, I will get in I mean, maybe if you want to come back, the PAC 12 is obviously starting in two weeks in that’s Hey, Morgan got fan. That’s what I’m looking forward to. But today it’s all about the big 10

Ryan Christa
players here, you know,

Tyler Turner
I think when you look at an RVP top 25 the big 10 definitely even like gets a lot more respect in the PAC 12. You have I think five teams in the big 10 that’s rated in the top 25 you got Ohio State of is number five. I think Penn State’s number eight. I’m doing this I found my attic. Wisconsin’s 14 I think Michigan’s like 1618 range. And then Minnesota falls in about the 20 range. So and then I was just outside. So even though the big 10 has yet to play a game, five teams in the top 25 another one just outside that the big 10 is probably I think personally I think if you go for just talent, I think the SEC basically when you look at baseline talents the best, but if you go for overall just pretty darn good teams. If they did an SEC big 10 challenge I would not be surprised at all the big 10 one I could definitely like and I will definitely be a Kentucky and you could definitely see it Purdue beat Arkansas. So I mean, especially the Laurie, though, I might even trust the big town a little bit more. I think they’re a little bit deeper if a conference so to have the big 10 have a say in the college football playoff. I think it’s really big time because it’s they’re definitely a better conference then the ACC, to the graduating the big 12 and the PAC 12. So it’s good to have the second best conference, I would say maybe some would argue the first overall in the in college football coming back. What do you think?

Ryan Christa
Oh, absolutely. You know, like you said that that’s the big time is really what makes it you know, obviously when you talk sec as top heavy, they tend is that the doubt, you know, like obviously Ohio State set apart when you know, when you talk about Penn State that’s a really good football team. Are they better than Georgia? You know, they’re right. Wrong with Georgia. Yeah.

Tyler Turner
Offense autoshot. Clifford over scented better whatever.

Ryan Christa
Whoever in Georgia was out there, you know, offensively, I mean, Georgia still, I think the best defensive, you know, the cultural buyer. Yeah, I mean, the way they play I mean, you can’t I mean, Alabama’s got freaks on offense. Yeah. Yeah. You know, but yeah, that, you know, you go and you’re talking to middle big time, you know, a lot Purdue. Yeah. That’s really good. Even Indiana. I think. There’s a good quarterback. Yeah, yeah.

Tyler Turner
Yeah, just think of some of those. Yeah, I mean, even like Tennessee beat Indiana last year, but in the bowl game, but I thought Indiana, I’ll play the whole game. Wow. Tennessee, Tennessee was able to Yeah, yes. He was able to kind of sneak it out in the end. But, um, yeah. And then Mississippi State. I think there would have been a lot of big 10 teams, I think else you would have trouble. So, um, yeah, I think it’s, I mean, the they have the big Ted back in it, um, has made this season just more fulfilled. I mean, I’m glad that they all got back in it. But I think the big 10 was the one like not having Ohio State. You’re like, Clemson, Alabama, if you win the national title, and Ohio State isn’t even in that conversation didn’t even get to play. That’s a major Asterix. And so it’s really, yeah, because I think if it were, and the causes are pretty good, we’ve seen the play, but if I was gonna say the best offensive team in college football, and I’ll go over the roster of Ohio State and I did a little bit last week. I didn’t call Ohio State has the most baseline talent of anyone on the offensive side of the ball. Their wide receiver group is just filled with a plethora of top 100 players and five stars. And the runningback room is deep and their quarterback is one of the best quarterbacks college football. And they have some of the best offensive lineman if two, three guys are going to go in the first and second round. So on the offensive side of the ball, I don’t know if I’d take any buddy from like the too deep. I mean, you got Alabama who was great receivers, obviously, Clemson with Trevor Lawrence and Travis etn. And you have those two against Ohio State. I still a dig is that?

Ryan Christa
Yeah, I mean, when you talk about Clemson, I mean, the thing the scary thing about Clemson is you don’t know much those wide receivers. So So yeah, other than Murray Rodgers, you know, they’re just, yeah, I think they’ll be more household names, you know, next, you know, year when, you know, DJ or whatever his name comes up. Yeah, yeah.

Unknown Speaker
Yeah.

Ryan Christa
Yeah. You know, but yeah, I mean, Clemson. Just total talent across the board. You know, I mean, remember, you need like a talent. You know, this is the best recruiting class Clemson’s had years this year. You know, they just yeah, consistently, you know, stockpiling, stockpiling willing. They just, and then, you know, they gain confidence because they’re not tested throughout the year. Yeah. I was really hoping the ACC will be better. I know. We’re not talking about but just a big gap.

Unknown Speaker
Yeah, I mean, yeah, yeah. Yeah.

Tyler Turner
Yeah. Because I mean, Miami was and then they got they got stomped. And then North Carolina lost Florida State, which showed that they are in

Ryan Christa
Miami are good team. Is there just Clemson.

Tyler Turner
Even cool. Yeah. I mean, the team.

Ryan Christa
I think you’re looking at that in each of those conferences. Ohio State. I think you’ll feel that way soon. About the rest of them. We’re not saying how bad the big 10 is. We’re just saying how good Ohio State is. Yeah, it’s feeling about that about Alabama. And I kind of feel about that about Clemson. You know, they’re just separated. Yeah. No, I don’t like

Tyler Turner
no Ohio State. Like, yeah, I agree. I agree. Like Clemson I’m looking at their schedule. I’m like, I don’t know more. Damn, I just don’t think they have enough firepower on offense. And then Alabama, Georgia was a test and look what they did to them. I look at that Penn State game. It’s in Penn State. Obviously there’s not any fans there but it’s still a home field advantage. Penn State is a very good team. Oh, there’s a reason why they’re a preseason top 10 I look at the roster you have to have the best running backs in not just a big 10 minute college football and journey brown and no cane. You have the best tight end in college football and pat fireman’s you got an experienced quarterback and Sean Clifford you have one of the most experienced offensive lines on the defensive side of the ball you have to have the best defensive ends and shock atony in JSON or you have a you lost Michael Parsons that was a big loss but didn’t take this place his former five star Brandon Smith and then you got like guys in secondary like Lamont way j con brisker. I looked at the Penn State and I’m like, Yeah, I see what I mean. I know that I know the roster town their top 10 Top 10 in my formula. I think they’re just outside the two for 17 to count pause it but it by look at the spirits that they have in some got good guys to positions that it isn’t second game of the season. You just never know. early on. Weird season. We’ve had a long break. If Ohio State loses, I think it will be to Penn State. I can’t didn’t I was looking at their schedule even just while we go and I’m just like, I just don’t see it. I don’t see it there. I don’t think there but I’m like Penn State’s second game. I think that’s like lower spots for you. Like, I don’t know if that is ideal for Ohio State. I thought that was kind of a tough draw on the second game of the season, especially for a team with aspirations, like people are already penciling in them into the playoffs. And I’m like, I think I picked up that game. But that’s pretty tough game. What do you think

Ryan Christa
I let you know, I mean, Penn State and I’m you know, this is a ground and pound team kind of, you know, a spread ground in town t Well, I think with Sean Clifford he’s got to prove it you know in those third and Long’s You know, I think against Ohio State we know those money downs, you know, that’s the difference, you know, the Justin fields, he can meet they can run it, but you know, he can also on third and long make those throws. You know, we know Sean Clifford can run the ball. But if you take him away if you’re willing to box can you make those throws? You know, I think that’s going to be their offense, you know, their defense is gonna be good obviously, you know, Micah Parsons gone, but you know, plug and play, you know, let it Yeah. Yeah, that’ll be good. You know, like, I guess they’re the second best team, you know, and then I think there’s a gap between them and Pauline Michigan, you know, third place and yeah, Yeah,

Tyler Turner
yeah, um, what was it? I was totally forgot what to say. Oh, yeah, the one thing about on Penn State, the wide receiver group is very young. They’re not bringing back a lot of production. They’ve recruited pretty good but they’re not didn’t recruit an elite level at that position group. So that’s interesting. Ohio State DOD as much as I bloated gloated about Ohio State’s Office and I think they have the most talented off as a college football I really do. Their defense while talented while they have recruited extremely well, they haven’t as Yeah, they have not recruited as well either on defense because I went through and look at their last two recruiting classes, and it was definitely of their top five recruits. The last three to sorry, um, it was all offense. I think they only had one guy in their top 10 recruits. I was on the defensive side of the ball. And like you said, last chase young they’ve lost Jeffrey Okuda. They lost Billy kerrison they lost Damon Arnett. So they still have guys like Shawn Wade tyreke. Smith has done some good things. He was a talented guy coming out. Zack Harrison was a five star he’s not played yet, but he’s a talented guy. Tommy total I guy was the guy. It was a big time recruit top 50 guy out of Utah. On the he piece played but he hasn’t started and then Warner and is it a monforts? on that side at the linebacker position? I will I write fearsome tele guys, he still wasn’t very good players, Barrett Browning, former five star. But a lot of those guys haven’t started. A lot of those guys are returning like producers with contributors. But they didn’t start on. And there is just some question what Oh, they have a new defensive coordinator, Jeff Hadley went to Boston College in New DC, they lost some other bass players little younger on defense. And that’s one of the second game of the season, playing against Penn State, a good team in Happy Valley, a team that could run bemberg. So you can maybe get the guys out of position, set up the run. And then all of a sudden, you get some easy passes for Clifford who like you said sometimes can’t make those bigger throws, but all of a sudden you suck them up. And there may be one of these new D backs that are in there. Like the hooker guy or someone that is you know, he’s a talented guy, but he’s just young, he’s not quite easy guys experience, he gets out of position, all of a sudden, you’re seeing them be able to exploit that. I could see that in that second game against a team with a talent a Penn State, Penn State. You know, most the time it’s like even though those guys are inexperienced, there’s so much talent more talented than the guys across across the other side. doesn’t even matter. Like but pen Steve fries have more talent. Penn State if you’re if you leave that fire move open, he’s the best tight end in my opinion in college football. Well, Kyle pet sorry, said

Ryan Christa
it’s really a slot receiver playing tight.

Tyler Turner
He can walk pretty good, though. He’s not as good as far

Ryan Christa
as walking, blocking college pitches and gonna go against, you know,

Tyler Turner
a heck of a basket. Oh, I just I just see that as a game. Like, like, I don’t know, like, if I were today, I’m gonna see how they look the first week but I was talking about last week and I and I, you know, I just think Ohio State is just so beautiful. And they’re so good, especially offensively. But there’s something about that second gear about Penn State. I’m like, would I pull the plug in for what I can and upset there?

Ryan Christa
If you want to be I wouldn’t be surprised. I just I just have a hard time seeing Ohio State lose. I mean, like, you know, like, I’ve been grinding the second year is already better coached and you know, X’s and O’s. I mean, then, yeah. You know, but yeah, I always go back to two years ago, you know, when they glue that lead against Ohio State and the end of the game management, you know, there’s no i don’t think and I think Franklin is a top 10 college coach. Don’t get me wrong, but you know, the whole package you know, but we talked I tell you if

Unknown Speaker
you’re a protection

Ryan Christa
and borderline i think you know, it’s hard to recruit you know, in the northeast You know, that’s produced produce enough enough prospects, ah, strong. Athletes you got?

Tyler Turner
Yeah. Now, he said now his classes you’re struggling with all that, as good recruiter, as he has been this year’s been a little tough. I think he’s number 36 in the nation. And if you’re like Brad might be able to catch up late because of the COVID. And because of people not being able to take visits a lot of teams completely after classes filled up. So I don’t know If he will be able to so this might actually be one of those classes that comes back and hurts Penn State.

Ryan Christa
Oh, you know, it’s the one thing that’s going to hurt him, you know, we’re talking about Ohio State game, which would apply is going to be 738 o’clock and ABC, it would be normally a white out, you know, that bag of cells. You bring your recruit on campus, they sign up that day, you know, that’s a special atmosphere. You take that away, that’s, it’s gonna be tough. You know, the sound, the atmosphere for those power programs, you know? Do you think

Tyler Turner
it does? Fans have any big tickets?

Ryan Christa
I don’t believe so. I think that was part of the compromise. There’s no fans of any of them. Like none, zero. No, zero.

Tyler Turner
Wow. Well, man, cuz you see, I just I don’t know, I’ve seen to the NFL games, obviously several I have none. And I don’t know just having some makes it easy games. Texas a&m vs. Florida. Way board. So

Ryan Christa
back in so many ways, you know, first, you know, in the press conference saying he wants to have a full stadium and

Tyler Turner
COVID and he doesn’t get said, Oh,

Ryan Christa
it’s tough. This week. Now, they actually rescheduled the whole thing because they’re supposed to play Missouri this week. And so they got bumped in next week, which is normally there by before Georgia. So playing Missouri. So now they have two weeks off I get you know, they’re they have no more buy weeks or no nothing and no room to play with. So

Tyler Turner
so they have to they only have one game before Georgia.

Ryan Christa
Yeah. Oh, yeah.

Tyler Turner
I don’t know. But that one, ouch. That’s cuz me you’d like to get a couple more victories in the tip before you play Georgia blow. Okay, well, we could go. Let’s go to the SEC. I was going to look at, let’s go to week by week. Okay, we’re talking about Penn State. So we talked about Penn State. We talked about Ohio State. Do you think anyone else has a chance to needs

Ryan Christa
to win? You know, I mean, you Michigan’s got, you gotta get on my shot. You know, I mean, yeah, because of talent. It’s not, you know, they’re not an Ohio State town level. No, but they still good players, you know, has a possibility of being this electric player. They say,

Unknown Speaker
that’s what they’re saying. Yeah.

Ryan Christa
You know, I mean, and finally, maybe we’ll Josh gas, you got the quarterback to run his offense? Yeah. So, but they do. They lost a lot of defense again, it seems like you know, losing Glasgow is big.

Unknown Speaker
Yeah.

Ryan Christa
I mean, like, you know, there’s a lot of good teams, like, I think they’re a good team. I think Indiana is a good team. Yep. And I, I don’t know what to expect from Michigan State, you know, with Mel Tucker coming in and basically comes in and all sudden things shut down. You know,

Unknown Speaker
I know, they got

Ryan Christa
on both sides of the ball. But still, they just never well, even under Dantonio like,

Unknown Speaker
yeah.

Ryan Christa
And then, you know, you got, you know, little Tang of a lawyer starting up. And, you know, so, you know, Mike Locksley, which, you know, they started off with scoring 80 points against Howard last year, then they score 63, against Syracuse, and I don’t know if they scored 63 for the season, you know? Yeah, really? Yeah. But you know, those are, those are good teams. at best. They’re just not at the upper echelon level and then wreckers. You know. Yeah. Good luck to Greg shiana. This year, you know,

Tyler Turner
living off of the transfer portal. That’s a good thing.

Unknown Speaker
Yeah. You know, again, I think,

Tyler Turner
do it again, stay away.

Ryan Christa
You got it, you got it. You can’t judge him on this year. And I don’t think this year, and I think they long they’re, and they’re going to give them time. And again, if you can reclaim some of that magic, you know. I mean, they literally brought wreckers in to bring in the northeast into the big time, you know, and it just, it just hasn’t happened for some reason, you know, late, Ohio State’s got, you know, that’s their country, you know, New Jersey, they bring in all the players that occurs needs to bring in, you know, for years, you know, up in that, you know, that area, but yeah, so, no, I don’t think there’s anybody to compete with Penn State and Ohio State, but I think, you know, can Michigan be Ohio State? Yes. I just can’t see Michigan being I mean, I missed me, Penn State I just can’t see. Beating Ohio State. You know, I think

Tyler Turner
Yeah, I agree. Yeah, I agree. I’d say I mean, I think rich kids definitely third. Let’s see what Joe Milton has Ronnie Bell and he’s a good receiver he has coming back because one of the better offensive lines Jalen Mayfield came back so that was a good pickup. I liked that carbon. He was a big prep recruit out of out of California Thousand Oaks. I think he’s a pretty good running back on the defensive side of the brawl. I liked the defensive line. I like Woody page and Aiden Hutchinson. I think those are two of their best. Two best defensive linemen in the big 10. Dirt defensive backfield. lose it I keep on forgetting his name is ambry he was a corner he went to the NFL exam. Barry Jones is it like he was he was one if not the best one. Maybe the best corner while Shawn Wade conference coming back. But he opted out on DAX Hill was a former five star he’s gonna probably be starting at safety. I think he’s a pretty good player. I do. I don’t know about the defensive backfield. They’re kind of young and who they face like Michigan. I don’t know that’s rough. You don’t want to have young, inexperienced guys back there going against the likes of crystal Ave Jason with Jameson Williams and Garrett Wilson. Oh, so you know, I think yeah, I mean, I kind of have probably the same kind of sentiment of you. Probably in a similar order. I like you said, I think Indiana is the team that probably does finish fourth. On who knows, could they finish third? Or they’re given petstay? Trouble? They almost beat him last year. And

Ryan Christa
I don’t think they’re gonna get Ohio State travel? I don’t think

Tyler Turner
so for Penn State. Yeah.

Ryan Christa
Yeah, I think Yeah, I, I think you know, I think that’s Ohio State, talent wise. And our mind right now without seeing and play won’t get tested? Yeah. I didn’t, you know, I mean,

Tyler Turner
you also looking at the fact that it like you just said, there’s no fans in the stands. So a competitive advantage a team could have on them is just so that it’s basically completely a level playing field, maybe a little bit of travel, that’s just not that much of an advantage. I mean, it pumped the noise in but I really hope I would have to be there to realize how much of an effect that has. Yeah, I just, yeah, if I look at these teams, I just don’t know anyone who I see. Yeah. And you know, like I said, Penn State, and like you said, I could see possibly Penn State to go to Michigan once again, it should be no people in that 108,000 state seat stadium. But yeah, I could possibly see Michigan beat Penn State. I think that’s a more comparable talent stamp talent matchup, that that is that is it. They play each other every year. Very close. It’s been very close for years between those two. So that is a game that I could see going Michigan favor, and then all of a sudden Michigan, who knows maybe that’s the only loser Ohio State. I don’t know. I mean, if I would have sold early on, I don’t know who else to play on the west side, they play Wisconsin, all

Ryan Christa
the way, you know, we talked the final week, let’s just say Ohio State beats Penn State or vice versa. You know, and then the winner of that game goes on to play the winner of the West, West be fat team and this, you know, let’s say whoever loses that game wins. They’re against a second place, West team, you know, could the fact though that set that team jump, let’s just say, let’s just put a name say let’s say Ohio State vs. Penn State, but then Ohio State loses to, let’s say, Wisconsin and championship, but then Penn State beats Minnesota in the crossover game. Yeah. You know, what 10 states take, you know, maybe that take that playoff spot away, you know, because this season, you know, there’s really not a championship game per se, necessarily, you know, I mean, yes, it is a championship one verse one, but you know, you could say, Ohio State vs. Penn State my trips up over Michigan in the last game of the season, but they sell the tiebreaker. repellency so they play you know, the other, you know, the second place team could theoretically make the playoffs. You know, like a Penn State

Tyler Turner
is an interesting year. We like people are talking absolutes, like, there’s no way the PAC 12 makes the playoffs. There’s no way this person I’m like, this weird season where games are being canceled and postponed. And we don’t know. I don’t even know there’s still some people that don’t think like it, the season will end. Like you’ll finish it. And there’s some people that think that um, like some teams might get started and not all in both patchwall whenever Get Started. So we just don’t know. I don’t know. We don’t know. I don’t know why we wouldn’t finish season on it’s like one. I just figured just figure out a way to finish it. I mean,

Ryan Christa
there’s a we got to be flexible. You know, the playoff committee has got to be flexible. We got to finish in February. What is the matter of efficient February January? Like just

Tyler Turner
this point? Yeah. Who Yeah, who does care? I don’t know. next season, they want to keep it but it’s like, well, if you have a bunch

Ryan Christa
more students practice nighttime, okay, so you don’t have a spring practice issue. Okay, that’s fine. Like,

Tyler Turner
yeah, yes. Yeah, I agree. Good. Like, I mean, if you have a bunch of games, he cancelled and it gets 200 looted. So try to stick a square peg through a round hole like, man, just like try to just be flexible and move it back.

Ryan Christa
You know, I mean, ultimate spring practice as a man if you want to finish your regular season, you know, or,

Unknown Speaker
yeah,

Ryan Christa
but yeah, it’s, it’s crazy. Crazy, I think, I think that’s one thing I look at too, is, you know, when you talk about any leg, you got to look at depth when you’re talking about this share, because I’ve ever really never believed everybody’s gonna have players Miss games this year. And that’s where, and that’s sort of the difference between Ohio State they can, you know, barring at Justin fields missing a game, you know, or,

Unknown Speaker
you know, um,

Ryan Christa
you know, they have the deaf to, you know, be able to to push through missing, you know, a bunch of players and still be able to beat most of the teams with conference, hearing crate, you know,

Tyler Turner
either Justin fields with the game of guy like CJ Stroud, who was a top 50 player that came in this year. So, I mean, it’s not like they’re gonna have put in a scrub. So the reality is in Ohio State has so many such talent around and that man, you could just throw it to them, and they could probably make some good things happen. So we haven’t talked about the West at all, um, the West, obviously, Wisconsin has been the premier team, and they’ve won for the last six in as a whole, that they’ve been pretty consistently I’ve saved for last decade. So I’ve been consistently the best team in the West. They’re the favorite this year. Once again, I look at the West, the rosters aren’t as good as definitely. Ohio State, Penn State and Michigan. Your most talented team actually on paper, believe it or not, Nebraska, but they’ve not been able to put it together in years. Um, and then you had other really solid teams. I mean, yeah, I was always good. They did have some drama going on. So hopefully we can make it through that. And then you’re looking at Purdue. You got a guy like Rondo more and you got some talent on the offensive side of the ball. Northwestern had a bad year last year. Are they gonna bounce back?

Ryan Christa
Is there a worst offensive season in college football and Northwestern last year? In 2019 last year, I mean when people are scoring points left and right you know how do you how do you struggling off like the rolls are basically

Tyler Turner
Yeah. No, no, no, don’t first only if you call Darcos with the team. Yeah, yes. Start hurts I love that ever wanted. So is Minnesota. Obviously in the top 25 I think that Tanner Morgan’s the best quarterback it outside of Justin fields in the big 10 I think Rashad Bateman might be the best wide receiver maybe even better than crystal Ave. I just think that in the end, they have a good system. They obviously the office coordinator went to Penn State. That’s another good pickup by Penn State at those See, but I think there’s good pieces at Minnesota that I could see them. I see when the rest is here. Are you What do you think?

Ryan Christa
Absolutely. I mean, they’re one game away from last year, you know, and they bring back you know, a good amount of players and often lost a lot in defense when us yeah.

Unknown Speaker
Command Kemal

Ryan Christa
you know, Morgan’s the best quarterback outside Justin fields, because he has been on the outside, you know, in this ecosystem, PJ fleck, you know, for years, you know, belt culture, and it you know, it’s kind of anything is, it’s never about one year at PJ fleck, it’s going to take time, you know, still because he didn’t, he came into an empty cupboard in Minnesota a couple years ago. Yeah. So he’s building a culture on the players he’s got right now. And you know, they play hard. You know, you could say it’s kind of cliche, but and you say is it going to work in Big Boy football and, like, the fact that you know, last year and everybody bought into it, and they’re one game away from the big 10 championship win, I don’t think many people predicted at the beginning of the year. So yes, they could because I don’t think there’s no one has crazy amount of town in Michigan, you got a system in Wisconsin plug and play who’s the next? Great running back? Yeah, now that you know, Taylor’s gone, but you know, they’re gonna have a great offense line, you know, then I can turn them all you got to meet them each and every day and they play solid.

Tyler Turner
Yeah, all three levels. Yeah, I think it would come down. It maybe it just seems kind of par for the course. But I think Wisconsin does ever say. And I think I think Wisconsin and Minnesota, I will look at this schedule quickly. Wisconsin and Minnesota play each other the very last normally don’t. November is at the very last November 28. That’s a big game Minnesota, Wisconsin. That’s and was Minnesota has a Wisconsin problem. And it did last 17 out of the last 19 times have played so I mean, I think

Ryan Christa
they beat them. So you know, I think that kind of gets bring them into last year to go into, you know, Wisconsin, I think they’d been on pretty badly, you know, two years ago and kind of leap them into this year. You know, I’m really, I mean, really one bad afternoon in Iowa. And it really doesn’t even matter about their game against Wisconsin, you know, that’s something good a year and a half, you know, yeah, a little bit in the west of the national championship contender. I don’t know where somebody is going to be Wisconsin from the west, or in maybe maybe who else but whoever they I can’t remember where their crossover game is. But you know, you know, there probably is going to be an underdog. You know, most teams in the East you know, still, I think, at least the top echelon,

Tyler Turner
the top three Yeah, I understand since crossover game is against Michigan, and Michigan. So the MLS play every year. Yeah. Because these, again, are where they could win it, but they’ve done well against Michigan, but they also could lose it. And then they also

Ryan Christa
always reminds me it just kind of got the iconic big time feel, you know, they’re they haven’t changed the way they play. You know, they’re,

Tyler Turner
you know, now there is not a lot now there’s not a lot of crossover games. There is only two before before the one on one off between all the teams to conference. So

Ryan Christa
the first big one is Minnesota, Michigan kind of set the tone for each division. You know, you’re

Tyler Turner
gonna think of that Michigan, that’s a tough schedule. They play possibly the two best West teams in Wisconsin and Minnesota and they have to play Indiana, Penn State and Ohio State. That’s not no joke. That’s a pretty tough schedule a rich kid hard schedule.

Ryan Christa
Yeah. Yeah.

Tyler Turner
I think Nebraska is the only one that’s tougher than that. From my I mean, Nebraska schedule is crazy. They start off at Ohio State. Then week two, Wisconsin comes to Nebraska. Then week three, they go to Northwestern. That’s not that tough week for Penn State comes to Nebraska. Though three of those first four games are arguably against the best teams in the big 10. And I want Scott frost turned around. I’ve loved Nebraska to get back some of that glory days at least be but that schedule? I don’t know. I don’t know. I don’t know if I would bet on them this year. Maybe next

Ryan Christa
time. I mean, you think AJ Martinez, Scott? Scott everything. Yeah. You know, I mean, like you said, there’s talent on that team, you know, compared to the west, the rest of the West. Yeah, especially skilled positions. They should be okay, you know, but I just don’t think they’re adapting to the it’s hard to say they’re not adapting to the rugged style, you know, it’s got the physicality that you know, that you see, you know, Minnesota and Wisconsin, you know, it’s it’s not and Scott frost has DNA the way he you know, you know, he wants to go fast he wants to go speed, you know, but they they’re getting punched because they can’t handle the physicality.

Unknown Speaker
go getter was at Nebraska.

Ryan Christa
What was that?

Tyler Turner
Hello, Elise. Do you think Scott frost would get it Nebraska?

Ryan Christa
I can’t be judges I don’t know. I hope no coach really gets judged too harshly that

Tyler Turner
he will get fired he I think he I invite only

Ryan Christa
event gets fired this year. Yeah, something bizarre happened, you know, out of out of the realm of playing you know, wins and losses, you know, scandal

Unknown Speaker
says that

Ryan Christa
one’s writing out those Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Check the customhouse

Tyler Turner
Yeah. Right. Yeah, so Yeah, I agree. I agree. Yeah.

Ryan Christa
Texas that’s, you know, okay. Yeah.

Tyler Turner
I mean water bar. Yeah. And then Auburn who they want.

Ryan Christa
They begged and pleaded to get Tom Herman Nebraska begged and pleaded he saved the guy’s a fan bases like,

Tyler Turner
yeah, they’re Well, I mean, Scott Frost is the favorite son. He was the hot he took one national title in Nebraska. So yeah, I mean, I don’t think Frost is remotely on the hot seat. I think FOSS gets I think, honestly, he gets four years straight up. But after four years, if let’s say hypothetically, this year yet schedules brutal. So let’s say he’s like three and six this year. And then next year, they go five and seven. And then you look at it after four years, and you’re like, ah, five and seven, four and eight? And whether Asher five and seven?

Unknown Speaker
And I don’t know. Yeah.

Tyler Turner
So I think it’s five and seven, five and seven, three and six. And you’re like, five and seven? You’re like, four years? No bowl games haven’t made 500. Then by that fifth year? Yes. I think you’d be a Nazi.

Ryan Christa
Yeah. I mean, you know, they couldn’t wait to get bowl cleaning out the door who won nine games every year, you know, and not to be honest with

Tyler Turner
you. Because you know, I’ve kind of a childhood fan and people still this days, like, can’t believe they got it. Hopefully it first of all was was was a pain in the butt to deal with. It was. Also his teams despite way 910 they never looked great. They would get destroyed by the best teams. They play Wisconsin, Ohio State, Michigan, whoever was and then they would eat out a lot of games against teams of lesser talent. And they never looked great. So a lot of times, man, people they got rid of role playing like, Yeah, I would get rid of him too. He was telling people what to do with. He got worked against every team that was worth a crap. And he got a lot of games to win nine. A lot of close games against bad teams to win nine games. So I actually was a proponent. I just thought it was a terrible move to hire Mike Riley from Oregon State. That was just

Unknown Speaker
bizarre,

Tyler Turner
bizarre, and it’s set them back in the recruiting. And then frost has come in the script. FOSS has recruited he’s at one top 45 and to top 20 classes now has had some attrition problems. He’s lost. I mean, obviously he lost some guys from the mike Riley era. But actually even a lot of guys he is recruited have left. He lost three guys from this class. He just signed on his first class he lost. I think he lost almost half the guys from the class. So it’s not you can say sometimes you’re like, Oh, well, you know, they’re cleaning out guys. He didn’t repair it. Well, no, he actually recruited guys and actually ended up leaving. So is it we’ll see how he does this year. Let’s see how this recruiting class finishes off. I would see if this team looks better. They have a really tough schedule. And given next year, good before year, after four years, and for looking at a team that’s still not 500 still not made the ballgame then you might be like, I don’t know something’s up here. Something’s up here.

Ryan Christa
Yeah, so fine. Cuz you know, as a Florida fan, you know, the two coaches. I think everybody wants to Chip Kelly, Scott frost. Yo. Look, you know, thank goodness. Scott Strickland isn’t listening to fans, you know?

Unknown Speaker
Did you take that man? Oh,

Tyler Turner
good. I think frost would have done pretty good Florida.

Ryan Christa
Yeah, I mean, yes. I think it’s just

Tyler Turner
I don’t know. He went to USC, UCLA and they have just been offered. They’ve recruited terrible. I don’t

Ryan Christa
I don’t know. I don’t I don’t think you even in sec. I don’t think it takes a special charm to you know,

Tyler Turner
yeah.

Ryan Christa
He doesn’t have that charm, you know, and

Tyler Turner
you look at Mike Leach right now. I mean, it’s early, but did he make a mistake that he tried his talents in sec. Was it maybe better than a conference with less talent where he’s able to just be the scheming master that he isn’t able to beat teams that work.

Ryan Christa
But I think a looking at equivalent programs, you texted attack, you know, weird place where it’s, you know, location worked. You know, wyzoo you know, same thing, you know, admission you miss them. You’re looking at schools that are happy to compete. They’re not they don’t expect to win their next national champions. You know, they’re happy once every other year to you know, win nine, nine or 10 games.

Tyler Turner
But will his teams compete?

Ryan Christa
It doesn’t look like it. I mean LSU like really bad.

Tyler Turner
That the last slide, man,

Ryan Christa
don’t get me wrong, you know, I mean, they gave up a lot of yards. But Derek stingley before the game, you know, Matt Yeah, you know. And first game from Alice, Brandon, you know? Yeah. And they played 10 times LSU probably wins eight times, you know. But I mean, they got lit up by a quarterback from Missouri, you know, who threw for four and a half?

Tyler Turner
Yeah, no, he’s his

Ryan Christa
defenses looked horrible. Now. I think he’s, I think what happens, hopefully, he’s a really good defensive mind. But with no spring, and, you know, he’s asking young players to scheme that’s way too complex for them to be right. Yeah. You know?

Tyler Turner
Yeah, they’re not playing fast. I mean, the key right now is like getting your guys to play fast. If you guys are if your schemes too complicated, they’re probably going to be overthinking they’re not going to play fast. And because of the lack of preparation, due to no spring ball, and to even this wonky fall camp. Yeah, I think that people are able to make things most simplistic, are going to do best. I mean, that’s the way it is. I’m thrilled to give back to the big 10. We got way, way, way Attention Deficit soon. So you, so you take and then I’ll go through the world we’ll go over will predict this week’s games. But if you were to take so you take a team in the east, you take a team in the West, you pick a champion, and what do you think the record is going to be?

Ryan Christa
Alright, well, and he, I mean, it’s Ohio State. I mean, um, you know, was it seven and oh, eight? No, yeah, six, yeah, six, get into a crossover. So a no lasts. I mean, Wisconsin, seven in one bigger. I know, that’s not going out on a limb. But I just you look at what each team brings back in reality, identity of the programs and who they’re playing it. That’s it to me Ohio State’s a slam dunk. Wisconsin, like a Westside we talked about this a lot of it’s tougher to pick because teams are closer together from from top to bottom. I mean, you know, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Iowa, that’s, you know, my top three, but fourth place Purdue jump could jump. And when that, you know, I mean, you get random more gets a special season, you know, that’s there gonna be one of those three teams, I barely, you know, I just don’t think they have the quality of depth to win the conference. And I, frankly, I think most overpaid coaches, Brian right now, I mean, the coach paid coaches in the country. And I don’t think you know, what happened, you know, he had a big win against Ohio State. And then Tennessee comes calling. So they had a real you know, every time you know, he gets offered a job, they appear salary, you know, and he’s way overvalued, you know, for what he’s actually accomplished. You know, yeah. What me? What’s his current record? for, you know, three, three years. He had one tough season, then they went seven and five and five and seven, like, 14 last year. Yo, yo, yeah, I want to save 500 Yeah. I can. So you know, they’re really without you know,

Tyler Turner
that’s true. And

Ryan Christa
the ACO is a defensive coordinator, you know, who has

Tyler Turner
he’s also been really bad. He was not good at a Nebraska. That’s a D for dinner. Yeah, I didn’t know that.

Ryan Christa
Coach at UConn, but who hasn’t been a terrible coach. He was

Tyler Turner
really bad at defensive coordinator under Riley and Nebraska.

Ryan Christa
But he’s had some good you know, I mean, maybe time has passed. Some coaches haven’t adapted to, you know, the new college football. You know?

Tyler Turner
What his record at Purdue Yeah, 766 and seven and four and eight. His best year was his first year. He’s actually been below 500. The last two years including just a pretty bad for an eight team. So yeah, you’re right. Jeff Brom is over. He needs to he doesn’t have a good season this year. Because after four years, if he has another blow 500 team, you’re kind of like

Ryan Christa
I mean, one thing we really haven’t talked about in Illinois and no, there’s not much to talk about, you know, but again, another coach that seems to always be in the hot seat, Lovie Smith, you know, and more of it a lack of enthusiasm by or who cares in Illinois, you know, it’s a basketball school, you know, always will be a basketball school. Yeah. You know, but I think they want they just want to win six, I think they just want to get to a ball game. I think

Tyler Turner
they did get to a bowl game. Yes.

Ryan Christa
And I think I wanted to say I, you know, I saw that, you know, yards per game was an it’s an attack in the bottom five of all college football, but they scored 26 points that game. So even though they’re scoring points, that doesn’t mean you’re not getting a lot of yards. They don’t, you know, they don’t have explosiveness on offense, you know, which is kind of crazy. You know, you’re talking about the two Chicago based teams, you know, who got access to athletes, you know,

Tyler Turner
but yeah, but they’re both pretty high academic schools and, and a lot of those kids, and then they compete against today. And so if they are good athletes, they’re probably going to go to Notre Dame. And so in their good academics, Fargo, Notre Dame, and then even like Michigan can go to that area. You’ll have state, anywhere in the Midwest and get whoever they want. So yeah, I think like you I’m gonna take, I think, actually exact same to I do think Wisconsin loses that Michigan. So yeah, I think they’re seven and one and they play on the go undefeated, Ohio State, but I’m, I’m allowed to change my mind with Penn State game. Over upsetting

Ryan Christa
after this, after this week, I don’t expect either team to really, I don’t know, especially Ohio State, I don’t think they really get challenged, but we’ll see how good they really are. You know, I think I mean, again, you know, everything comes down to COVID. Especially, it’s not just I mean, the big 10 rolls are, you know, positive three weeks, that’s, well, I think that part of your season, even

Tyler Turner
been tested? What, even with the new rapid testing that they’ve been able to produce,

Ryan Christa
it must be like a positive test, and then you and then you got a rapid test after that, to confirm, you know, you get, I’m assuming it’s got to be two positive tests. And then you

Tyler Turner
just said three weeks. Yeah. That’s crazy.

Ryan Christa
And I know the SEC, they redid their policy. So Nick Saban, you know, they never said false positive. You ever read the news articles, there’s never said a false positive. But if you have a positive test, and then next three days, one test every 24 hours, if you get negatives, you, you’re kind of deemed to be negative. So that actually happened to soccer, soccer player, Texas a&m, tested positive by school administer tests. So she went on her own pay for it went to a different lab, because she’s like, there’s no way I’m positive. I haven’t been, you know, so she, she got paid out of her own pocket, went to the lab nearby, got three tests, and you know, and then the off, you know, the league said, you can play and then then they changed the whole policy. So basically, now, well, the big 10 do something like that, but differences and big tender testing every single day where the SEC SEO, I think four times a week, you know, compared

Tyler Turner
to the so the big 10 is testing every day like, yeah,

Ryan Christa
so that’s that was part of their, you know,

Tyler Turner
I don’t think because actually the PAC 12 released its guidelines. I don’t believe it’s 21 days. I believe it’s Yeah, tell your court to tell your negative. So I believe that. That’s crazy. The big 10 that could impact things a ton. Was Sean Clifford. Me. Yeah. I mean, Justin fields, three weeks, just like that. Yeah. I’ll be like, okay, I don’t know if I agree with that. So you have an Ohio State versus Wisconsin. I think that’s what I would do. Minnesota’s dark horse in the east. Sorry, Wes. And Penn State’s a dark horse nice in my opinion. I don’t think Ohio State loses I think they’re nine No, and that would obviously get them in the college football playoff. And then obviously then I have a seven into Wisconsin at Penn State petstay I could go see go to eight one I can see could also drop another game. They tend to they’ve tended before to drop game that they should not have so I could see a possible drop in another game. So I really do think it would be one team and that’d be Ohio State. They’re getting to the playoffs. Um, I am I’m interested to do it for us is going to be as of today. You know, it seems like on an easy world. You got Penn State, Ohio sorry, Ohio State State Clemson Alabama and then I guess number four is a

Unknown Speaker
good

Tyler Turner
team yeah Oregon or

Unknown Speaker
so yeah you’re sure talking trash

Ryan Christa
we definitely agree on is not going to be the big 12 so

Tyler Turner
okay probably not but ultimately

Ryan Christa
the only team I think could run the table I mean I will say something here right now actually playing each other this week Iowa State

Tyler Turner
Iowa says one loss

Ryan Christa
yeah that’s true back to like they can go on if it doesn’t Yeah, yeah. Yeah sweet

Unknown Speaker
I know

Unknown Speaker
yeah Coastal Carolina a

Ryan Christa
few former liberal dislike that school but Louisiana and I think they want in this whatever one doesn’t put the big 10 teams in there as of May 25. This week, I can’t remember if that’s a peer coaches call but so,

Tyler Turner
so do you see okay, so and then we’re gonna wrap up because we’ve covered the big 10 it’s get it’s getting out there. But if you had to say you could group of five if you had to pick a group of five team to make the calls will play off this year. Who would you take

Unknown Speaker
right now? But

Tyler Turner
but they asked me this weekend. That’s a good game

Ryan Christa
actually. It’s kind of like elimination game. You know what? Not?

Tyler Turner
Not BYU, huh.

Ryan Christa
But I mean, who I mean, who is that? Great. Like I mean, Americans a pretty good conference. And if you go undefeated in American you’re pretty good cheap. Would you pick Cincinnati is

Tyler Turner
SMU overview. I used to play each other.

Ryan Christa
I’m probably not right now. Maybe I use a really good team, but

Unknown Speaker
they’re really good.

Ryan Christa
Yeah, I think well, now they picked up San Diego State and Boise State. Yeah. But at the end of the day, I mean, Zack, what’s the best team they played? I don’t think

Tyler Turner
culture will play off but I do think BYU and

Ryan Christa
if they do near 16 I think yes, they deserve

Tyler Turner
I think I used to pick today runs a table. Why is it today is gonna lose game.

Unknown Speaker
Yeah, I mean,

Ryan Christa
I know what I mean. Here’s a crazy stat for you. UCF had 800 yards of awesome

Unknown Speaker
and lost

Ryan Christa
and they lost the game. Gabriel had seven touchdown passes. Oh my gosh, hundred and one yards. And they lose the game. Oh.

Unknown Speaker
This is crazy.

Ryan Christa
Americanism.

Tyler Turner
It’s a fun conference. It’s a lot of offense, a little defense. It’s a Fed conference. I

Ryan Christa
don’t know if you look at their teams. If you see Cincinnati walk on the field with a power five team you can see the difference. Yeah. Or any of the team you know, but what did they have that athletes because there’s they’re just smaller like you’re there the fast guys that you know, the big schools didn’t want to say you know, and especially go down to Texas, you know, SMU you know, they live down there Florida, you know, that’s a UCF obviously they’ve had a tough stretch here and there too. And too, but yeah, high flying offense, you know.

Tyler Turner
I mean, the thing I like about BYU is first of all, they have a terrific offensive line. They have one of the best better offensive lines I’ve seen. They have a great quarterback Zach Wilson is a guy that he’s extremely accurate. He’s He’s a very mobile athletic guy like the running backs I’ll jera who actually was converted linebacker makes a terrific linebacker, and then defensive, very solid. They’re, they’re not great. They’re the best. They’re the most speed but they they they play solid line of scrimmage. They are a team that it’s tough to make big plays on. Um, I just I think BYU is just a really good team this year. I’ve seen them play. Every game. I actually literally have seen BYU play board and almost everyone else

Ryan Christa
because they’re always like isolated by themselves. Like

Tyler Turner
they got the Monday night game. They got a fight in a game this last week. Yeah,

Ryan Christa
I think Saturday thing they played in the middle of the day.

Tyler Turner
I watched that game and they actually did not play good. And actually UTSA, my uncle’s. My uncle coached with head coach UTSA. They were there. My uncle was his offensive coordinator. And

Ryan Christa
I watched them play earlier this year against Middle Tennessee where they’re at, you know, so they’re decent, as a team, but anyway, that’s the thing. When you’re BYU, you can’t come close to a Conference USA team, you got to blow them out of the water, you know, you’ve got to make the playoffs. This Saturday, you know, that’s, like you said, that’s probably what helped them that. Yeah. So what makes you different in Memphis, I think, is a good balance team, because they’re not really necessarily, you know, they’re not throwing away that defensive side of the ball. They’re balanced, you know, but because of freckles, not gonna let him do that. But BYU is that they, they’re, you know, they’re, they’re big and strong in both sides of the ball. And they kind of look like a power five team, but you, what’s the differences is that, like you said, they look like them until they run with them. They’re not gonna run with the high in a playoff situation atop the power five teams, you know, they’re, they’re slept slower, because that’s why they’re BYU. But, you know, they’re grown men, you know, they’re 2324 years old, like, that’s every year. But, you know, that’s if I could make a claim for any year to put 1818 playoff. Yeah, this would be in here because the size is so small. Yeah. That’s right. They did amazing. I mean, that’s what he did. Ace on the chair, you know, because the season was shorter. And it’s gonna be real for you know, playoffs, you know, the playoff committee to find, especially if nothing changes, you know, finding that 14 is going to be ridiculous, I think. Yeah. Know, in Oklahoma State goes 10, nine and one, you know, what’s the difference? Once, you know, if Georgia’s 91? And if

Tyler Turner
they’re not gonna be?

Ryan Christa
Yeah, you know, what, Georgia plays a 10 game sec schedule. That’s gotta mean something, you know, over. Does that mean more than a seven game pack trial schedule? Like, can?

Tyler Turner
I believe that in a case like that, so you’re dealing with a complete hypothetical ball respond to that one in a vacuum? You have a night into Georgia team, there are two losses were to Alabama against a seven and no Oregon team. I know I’m an Oregon fan. But look at this objectively, they did lose the best team. But at the end of the day, if Georgia lost the best team in Alabama, at the end of the day to Georgia when there’s conference.

Ryan Christa
Yeah, that’s, I think they

Tyler Turner
did they lose? Did they lose a game or two? Yeah. And I just think do I think Georgia would probably be Oregon this year. Yeah, I do. I actually really do on but do I think that if or if organised, though, and they win the PAC 12. I think they would get in overnight to Georgia. Now, if all of a sudden Georgia comes back and wins the SEC, and then you’re looking at a 10 and one sec runner up Alabama who beat the team that beat them. I think you’d probably pick Alabama, because then there’s I think you’d pick Alabama. But if you’re looking at a two loss team that didn’t win their conference, I just it to me, I don’t know how you could pick them even if yes, you look at and you’re like yes would say probably beat them. Yes, they probably would. But at the end of the day, they didn’t win their conference and they lost two games. And we’re gonna stick to this silly for game thing. If you do it, then you can get the best in there. So you get your you cross your T’s and dotted your I’s.

Ryan Christa
Hey, I’m all for winning conferences gotta mean something. But I mean, that’s why I said I think the playoff committee, it’s got a ridiculously hard job of finding a team. Any year it’s tough I think this year because this scheduled I’m just saying like you’re wanting to play more, I can mean that. If in year to have eight teams. This is a year you know, just just for one, you know, one year you know, just

Tyler Turner
I never thought to enjoy watching football so well. I always enjoy watching football. So this is kind of a stupid statement by me, but maybe I’ll just go hyperbolic with it. I just like every week I see it. I’m like, I didn’t think we’re gonna have football this year. I think we’re gonna have the big 10 and so every time I see a game, I’m like, Yeah, I just get so excited sear. I’m like, this is a year.

Ryan Christa
I think every time you see a game you should especially in college just got to thank both teams for just thank you for

Tyler Turner
making it happen.

Ryan Christa
Yeah, even if it’s your hater rival, they still did their job and, you know, lived in a bubble and never bounced and campus isn’t doing it, you know, and it’s, it’s gotta be tough. And you know, that’s I think that’s what the fear is, you know. And you never thought in the world you wake up, and Wednesday and Thursday and you’re like, please, please have my game happy. postponed. Yes. I think the first couple weeks, you know, you saw a lot in the Conference USA Sun Belt, and you’re like, Okay, just don’t have you know, the testing or they don’t have Yeah, you know, finances to be but then when you saw the FCC, and you’re like, a god and kind of worries you a little bit, you know, yeah. Because I mean, I know, I know, there’s 100 players on the team, but you especially like Virginia Tech. I mean, why they’ve done like, played a lot of games of not a lot of players, you know.

Unknown Speaker
Good.

Ryan Christa
Yeah. I mean, North Carolina down like 25 players yelling

Unknown Speaker
was beaten.

Ryan Christa
Yeah, I mean, that’s a good North Carolina team. And yeah, I think that might be this might be the second best team in the ACC.

Tyler Turner
ACC I got what because I think it’s pretty easy dogs in the big 12 this year, that’s been not very good. And the patch was just done. eccn normally through in the in with the big 10 sorry, but the big 12 and Pac Pac 12. But I actually think the ACC is a little better this year. I just think there’s some decent teams. I mean, you got Notre Dame you get it. Obviously, they’re normally independent, but they’re definitely better. And then like you said, Virginia Tech, North Carolina, Miami, North Carolina State. I mean, the VCC is a little bit better this here.

Ryan Christa
Yeah. As I read a stat though against an order name, leave, okay. I didn’t watch because those watching Saiki celebrity game but there’s only seven possessions for Notre Dame and a whole game. I know they only scored 12 points, but they had five possessions of eight minutes or more like I think eight and eight Okay, they’re gonna run the ball. The B they don’t have any playmakers, you know, and you can’t go You can’t do that against Clemson because yeah.

Tyler Turner
They’ve been inconsistent. Yeah, they’re very consistent.

Ryan Christa
Yeah, I mean, Ian buck is a good college quarterback who can run your offense, but he’s not dynamic by No. I mean, anything. You’re just saying how good Claypool is on your turn on the NFL on Sunday.

Tyler Turner
In the last few years, he had Trayvon Boykin the chase Claypool he had caught like Colton that he had some better he had this year I mean Michael Mayer was a big five star came out on McKinley Andres for same day here a big hit a big game against Florida State but I do yeah, bro. Lindsey was a good guy guy on Oregon actually. But I do think that Notre Dame does something a little bit off about that is a very good defense. They have a good offense. Very good offensive line. They have a solid run game, but there’s something in that passing game right now. That’s there. They just the first four games have been now they had never they got hit the COVID bug too. Did it throw timing off? I don’t know.

Ryan Christa
What what I wasn’t gonna leave the team but and I’m not being that good. Let me that. Yeah. What I’m saying is everybody else is scoring on Louisville. And if you can’t score and I you know, I mean, yeah. Yeah. I mean, Georgia Tech scored 40 points. Yeah, that week against Louisville like I mean,

Tyler Turner
they did last week.

Unknown Speaker
clemson kind of does that everyone

Ryan Christa
you know, I mean they’re just they’re Alabama’s different Ohio State’s different like Yeah, I agree with that. Whether people like it or not, it’s the truth like thank you weak you’ve always like that’s why you think in that so it’s proven why recruiting is so important. You know, and yeah, yes. Dabo is a great coach.

Tyler Turner
Now the red team did recruits on that level that is not like that fight is ga and I just that is something Kirby smart has to because actually on paper According to my formula, and according to two 417 town composite, Georgia is the most talented roster in college football. So for Georgia to still be struggling with these offensive issues when they have so much talent on the roster, that is something that needs to be deep dive.

Ryan Christa
George George Pickens and a good wide receiver, but ain’t getting no separation. Like you. Okay, you can blame. Where’s it supposed to go with the ball?

Tyler Turner
Yeah, guys. I agree.

Ryan Christa
It could have been Bernie’s You know, I think for some reason they want Burton but

Tyler Turner
Calabasas, California he’s very good for

Ryan Christa
you love him down the middle of that field. But Pickens, I mean, other than that go route because he’s speedy. What can he do? He’s not gonna he’s not. I mean, Demetrius Robbins. Was I mean, I? Yeah, I think I mean, this guy, Cal

Tyler Turner
healthy. He’s done some good things. And

Ryan Christa
George’s and they, you know, whoever they’re often coordinators comes and goes by their identities always.

Unknown Speaker
Yeah,

Ryan Christa
they do need to be there needs to be ID,

Tyler Turner
they need to get better player quarterback position. And they need to be a little more creative. an offense do a little just, when I watched Georgia play, even when I saw play out there, I kind of knew what they’re going to do. Well, if I’m sitting on my couch, normally they’re gonna do I think, guys, they get paid millions of dollars a year know what they’re gonna do. Yeah. And that’s just what’s a little frustrated about Georgia. It’s like do something to open it up and maybe a little more creativity because they really rely upon a bunch of five star offensive lineman pushing you down the field and have these five star running backs. But all of a sudden, when you lead the box, then it comes becomes kind of a predictable pass game with an average quarterback. And Georgia just I’ve seen them play every game this year. And you know what, they didn’t look that good against Arkansas offensive times. They didn’t look great. And oftentimes the ascendancy and obviously the second half didn’t score at all against Alabama. They set it off it’s a problem then they might find themselves losing another game to like Florida because of it.

Ryan Christa
Yeah, I mean, I think eventually they might go I think JT Daniels is the quarterback eventually. I mean I I just think there I knew I said some madness a good story, but I mean, I just don’t think he can make those stories. I mean, how many balls got batted down? Like I mean yeah, is too many, you know? Yes, I guess I think my first thought is like they’re not getting separation in order to throw the ball but maybe JT Daniels who’s a five star recruit can be able to hit those tight Windows you know, throw people open. I think that’s the difference. You know, Spencer Ben’s a good cultural guy who is on your team because he loves to be part of he loves to be a Georgia Bulldog but no he’s good enough to beat Auburn good enough to be Tennessee but he obviously he wasn’t good enough to be 2020 Alabama because the game has changed it’s not like once next to even gave into playing football the new way like okay like game was on like

that’s like Kansas LSU You know, that’s probably doesn’t want to throw the ball 50 times again, but okay. I got

Tyler Turner
an even like Oregon, who was you know, crystal balls in the same tree. Kirby smart saving, and crystal balls. first couple teams were a little bit predictable. But lucky IRA Joe Morehead. I mean, you don’t hire one of the better offensive blinds to be predictable. So I’m assuming that

Ryan Christa
those guys that’s a great offense mine. I don’t even be an offensive line in the head coach at the same time. No, no.

Tyler Turner
I just say that. But I think even a guy like crystal ball who believe me an ex offensive lineman, he just wants to grind but he realizes Hey, if I want to win national title, I have to open up and then like this class he signed for the best receivers By the way, Oregon for recruiting but Oregon side for the top receivers in the prep ranks. So Oregon is going to have a very by next year, Oregon’s going to be back to looking like the Oregon to Chip Kelly days I think.

Unknown Speaker
I

Ryan Christa
mean, we could go back to Oregon change college football, college football,

Tyler Turner
you know, the idea of not

Ryan Christa
huddling and going as fast as you can like

Unknown Speaker
that I think So

Ryan Christa
that changed football and has never been the same like I mean everybody catch up. I mean, how many people I don’t know. No One No way not go up the same pace. Florida doesn’t huddle but they don’t go fast. They You know, they’re very similar. So is this Radek? Well? Yeah, you know, but at the same time they’re not huddling because huddling now you can you control who’s on the field of view of the tank is you can substitute even if you know they’re going slow cuz Yeah. So you know, we can say we can say chair Kelly’s been passed back because this system, you know, it’s just a fret, you know, everybody runs it, but at a different level. Now, you know, I think he got passed by in time a little bit so

Tyler Turner
I just think he made you know, a big quite big money and I you just didn’t seem very hungry anymore. And honestly, UCLA did, it’s just not a big football school. It’s just a tiny place the

Ryan Christa
place to go. And then basketball, they love basketball, but I mean, academics. It’s tough

Tyler Turner
and liberal. Yeah, look how they’re doing now. And they’ve been really relevant for a while.

Unknown Speaker
And you know,

Ryan Christa
but then you guys see, you know, who’s got who takes off players and still, you know, whatever. But

Tyler Turner
can I ask you that what you think the results are going to be? This Saturday, and then we’re just going to wrap this sucker up in gold. And I’m just going with the big 10 opening game Illinois, Wisconsin, Wisconsin. Rutgers a Michigan State. Big noon kickoff.

Yeah, Nebraska Ohio State that’s actually the big noon kickoff on Fox.

Ryan Christa
I’m at Iowa State but I’ll be intriguing you know, so a big I guess storylines you know? We can see how far Nebraska has come but we don’t I don’t think any of us expected to be a fourth quarter game but it will be a good benchmark for both teams.

Tyler Turner
And this is a sneaky game because Penn State is pulling Ohio State to next week Penn State at Indiana

Ryan Christa
I gotta go Penn State base I’m down but I mean I would not surprise me if this game comes under the wire and now later we’ll go over you know a turnover you know timings not there I’m sure because they you know but if 10 say is good at what it does what they’re good at pounding the ball Sean Clifford running you know, and then you know hitting the play action fake you know, they shouldn’t have any trouble but you know, Tom Collins a good defensive mind and a good coach. So yeah, I’m ready to play but yeah, Penn State I read Purdue because ROM is America Iowa.

Tyler Turner
Okay, yeah. Anyways, Michigan and Minnesota a

Ryan Christa
tough one I’ll go Minnesota I think that get this first one you know, but um, I don’t think this dictates how either season’s gonna go I think they’re both good teams and they’ll probably both win five or six games extremes

Tyler Turner
Maryland at Northwestern battles to pretty

Ryan Christa
I just hate them more or less more entertaining but I mean who knows? But I mean package I mean, you can package out of this heck of a coach where he does you know with limited resources and limit you know, the high academic standard you know, what him and you know, David Kafka do like yeah it’s tough I guess

Tyler Turner
yeah. I mean even playing field

Ryan Christa
you know in you know, those a team is almost like a group of five where you build a team for every for three or four years you know, to bash guys, expectations for Northwestern I bought in hunter Johnson I thought because I know that was a big thing he chose you know, Northwestern over at Purdue you know when he transferred from concepts

Tyler Turner
he didn’t look very good last year. Well dude, thanks for coming on we talked big time but when often several rabbit trails group of five sec. Let me mention just about every every every

Ryan Christa
college football there’s so many storylines, you know. Me

Tyler Turner
and your sec guys. So you like that’s your territory like?

Ryan Christa
The guy living in upstate New York. The college football program. in

Unknown Speaker
the Midwest

Ryan Christa
I think it leaves you more to go outside your chair for defense since I was little kid cuz that’s this email sent us there’s always kind of it’s always been there. It’s never you know, yeah, it never been you know that big. I got loved to go to Syracuse games. I’m always cheering for them but it’s not like I don’t live and die. Yeah, yeah

Tyler Turner
he’s dead dude, his team’s another big last couple years,

Ryan Christa
ya know, and I think I kind of proven that how good Eric Dungy really was for that program. Yeah, you know, I think a guy who is wasn’t a great thrower kind of a just an athlete playing quarterback, but you know, when Bay Rays came in, and his goal is a running, you know, bazillion plays a game and they, you know, dangerous putting up historic numbers, but he they that that defense was not ready to play 100 plays on defense.

Unknown Speaker
Yeah,

Ryan Christa
I remember a Friday night being in the dome when Lamar Jackson came when he had eight. He kind of for eight touchdowns, you know, and oh my gosh, it was you know, it was it was insane, you know, but yeah, he you know, he kind of reached a climax a couple years ago, so, obviously can’t judge anybody in this year but it’s not looking good, you know, and yeah, that’s not looking to win championships. I just wanted to be competitive and want to give a reason you know, yeah. You know, even September’s you know, back when this basketball season started

Tyler Turner
in the sec or sec, and the ACC getting tired, the ACC has definitely gotten better. So to be competitive the ACC is a lot more dog dogmatics and it used to be

Ryan Christa
yeah talk about roughly we’re talking about that they’re gonna be rough for them Saturday going down to play Concord

Tyler Turner
said oh my gosh, and then

Ryan Christa
a celebrity and next week when

Tyler Turner
they tell you Liberty at home with an empty stadium But yeah, I don’t see that happen.

Ryan Christa
Yeah, and we’re we’re closed on flames You know, they may or may not get to play Southern Mississippi this week. Yeah, so so Miss Southern Mississippi canceled last week as you tap is there a down about 30 players and I the coach basically said that’s why they canceled but he didn’t say yes or no about what their availability and those players were. Mostly I’ll do the contract chasing to one or two players. That’s crazy.

Tyler Turner
But man that’s what’s killing some teams. Yeah,

Ryan Christa
yeah. You know, I mean, it’s, that’s that’s the benefit of why you do daily testing. So then you don’t have you know, an asymptomatic guy you know has been around practicing for two days not knowing he has a virus well he’s affecting Matt may or may not be affecting you know, so many players so if not, then you know, the next game would be damn going to Plattsburgh on Halloween Mac. So we’ll see for that’s gonna be an interesting

Tyler Turner
like we said Virginia Tech’s pretty good. So that’s a tough game. That’s tough game.

Ryan Christa
Yeah, I mean, I don’t think any Liberty fan would expect them to win, but it just would be nice to see them being competitive.

Tyler Turner
Man, I don’t know.

Ryan Christa
Virginia Tech. Alabama. Virginia, tech played the Syracuse team they play in a pie win by 40 points on Saturday, you know

Tyler Turner
pretty good actually. If someone were maybe to knock off Clemson they might be the best chance of anyone. Um, well did undergrad to solve it. It was nice talk is nice. Having your own got a big tennis suit against the time.

Ryan Christa
I actually Thanks for having me.
