And you can also check us out on iTunes we also got a new app you can download it is at the sports cast today. This dot Tyler Turner show forgot to mention that today we are breaking down the first weekend of the big 10 and then we’ll talk to Pac 12 I have a guest that I believe is joining us I’m pretty sure pretty positive if not we can always do the dirty work in mind. He was gonna it’s a reginal bazley he covers on he covered for the sports get cast as a interpreter. He covered Michigan versus Minnesota game which is I guess you can say was the top tier game this week in the big 10 there’s another very good games it just kind of
Unknown Speaker
clicked down like what I saw kind of some little little
Tyler Turner
takeaways from my end and then maybe when he comes on here, I’ll ask him some questions his takeaways will never go back in because if you break down with him, we’re gonna just regurgitate the same information.
Unknown Speaker
It started off on Friday,
Tyler Turner
October 23. You saw the initial game between Wisconsin versus Illinois. It was not a very good matchup. It was not a close game. It was an absolutely a blitzing by Wisconsin. Brammertz, former top 100 Adidas all American quarterback out of Kansas he was very impressive. Yeah, he was not supposed to play this year. Many people had jack Cohen listed as the top quarterback. He ended up hurt medics shoulder and Mertz came in and mercy to breastfeed five touchdowns I completed a 21 of 22 passes. So he had one in completion. Yeah, it was good week as you can. as you can. Bella’s curve is greater but it was about as good as you can get. So it’s gotten better to pressive obviously, there was good and defense. The running game, it first came out john Taylor, possibly the best running back in Wisconsin history. Ron de might say hold my beer. Marty Vol. Two and Melvin Gordon but but he’s one of the best to ever play for Wisconsin at the running back position. So they’re kind of you know, obviously replacing him and, and I liked some things that other guys did. But most of the stuff that they did were on the ground was later in the game, when obviously I’m pretty tired Illinois defense. The Illinois office was absolutely terrific. They did absolutely nothing but turning the ball over pretty much. I don’t think they even scored a touchdown. I believe the only touchdown was Illinois was like a defensive touchdown. I’m not hundred percent sure, but I believe it was a defensive touchdowns, only touchdown. So Illinois offenses completely inept. So a good victory, Wisconsin. Some of the other games Rutgers versus michigan state workers one losing streak was but I think it was up there near 20. So Greg shadow, you know, bring back That magic he had before you needed Well, if he can save us she said turn the ball over Rob made a lot of mistakes and play very well but hey Tucker has refused to go into Michigan State when that game um I’ll say Nebraska our big dad had a lot of eyeballs on it the big new kickoff I’m
Unknown Speaker
so some takeaways to that kid
Tyler Turner
is is a very good team. They have a very good offense. They are absolutely excellent at the wide receiver position. I just there’s not much you can say wrong about Ohio State when it comes to that wide receiver position. Curse a lot a Jamison Williams he didn’t do a whole lot but then obviously Garrett Wilson had he’s a terrific player former five star and then Jackson oh man How do I say his name new dig bro or Jackson dig boba the freshmen five star wide receiver just had a phenomenal catch. In the endzone probably the catcher the day maybe in college football for sure in the big 10 easy Julian for the new CJ Scott, Jr. You need to see guys like hammer bap. So there’s so deep and they’re so good at that position running back. Not as good as the running game didn’t really do a whole lot. tre sirmans master t kind of shared it. Nebraska you know what did not look bad. They just are not as good as Ohio State and I’ve been close to same level but I thought some good things. By McCaffrey caffrey he made some really phenomenal plays in the ground. Now national wide receiver group Dante Manny who I think might be the best wide receiver actually was out for the game. Even more cheese’s some good things he did turn well over. That ended up getting him back for a touchdown. But then defensively they hit on the wide receivers couple guys got targeting penalties but they played hard I was overall pretty impressed with the outing by buying Nebraska I was actually surprised how good that they looked on some other games just to go quickly over at Indiana Penn State that was a great game and can say last they got upset that was coming you’re upset of the bay and college football let alone the big 10 and say out game they had like 488 yards 211 they all play them but you know the turn the ball over and at the end of the day they gave up a touchdown right at the end. They allowed them to score at the end of it pretty much in regulation. They’re able to get two point conversion and then in overtime not only was Indiana able to come back tie it they went for two and Michael Phoenix just by I’m telling you by the hair got either way they call it touched on the field. Indiana wins a great win for Indiana IV peds It was definitely when those those games they’re the better team but that’s big loss of Penn State because they have to play Ohio State this weekend. They could be open to that could be a rough start red state for a team that had high expectations was in the top 10 was in most people’s top 10 was most people dark horse to possibly make college football playoff if they lose two games especially with the big 10 only playing nine during making the house cool laugh
Unknown Speaker
proving me I never
Tyler Turner
liked talking to have to say that but I doubt they make college ball graph nine games I doubt I would doubt anyone makes with two losses but I do especially doubt nine games produces Iowa big victory for Purdue there without rondelle more but a bell dude Bill had a great game and Purdue pulled it out and Northwestern with a dominated victory over Maryland Maryland starting where they left off. Very good.
Unknown Speaker
Especially parallel
Tyler Turner
I mean a little bit on offense good running game. You know the defense has always gotten there with one of the best linebacker groups in the bat and Pac 12 probably groups in Federal Way outside backer groups in the big time. So it is without further ado I have RJ Dazzler here all the way here Ben
Unknown Speaker
urjit. Here
Unknown Speaker
oj
Tyler Turner
Suzie’s here
Unknown Speaker
Oj O have to admit them
Unknown Speaker
Sir, there it’s RJ

RJ.
Tyler Turner
Hello. Hello. Hello. Hey, how you doing? Hey, um, why’d you say no? I was. I was. I was trying to figure out trying to figure this out. My first was like, Hey, what’s up, man and I couldn’t, couldn’t couldn’t get it figured out. Anyways, how you doing tonight?
Reginald Basley
I’m doing all right, man, how you doing?
Tyler Turner
I’m doing good. So I am having you on specifically. So I was just I was going over the big 10 a little bit. I don’t know if you could hear me maybe you know, I hadn’t even admitted you. So you could even hear me. Um, but I am having you on talk about the Michigan versus Minnesota game because I know you covered that for the sports cast. So
give us kind of your overall impressions of the game. What you thought who you thought switched on at the Michigan versus Minnesota game? What’s your impression that I can?
Reginald Basley
My honest impression of the game was I came into game thinking that Minnesota was coming out with the upset that Minnesota was going to show the world that they are a legit contender in the big 10. And I left out the game was like, Okay, I still think this is Ohio State’s year to run the big 10 again.
Tyler Turner
So how about Michigan? What was your thoughts about them as a whole? Because Yeah, obviously Minnesota that was kind of a disappointing to see them lose, you know, pretty pretty much dominated on their home field. What did you think about Miss Michigan and what do you think about their chances of possibly challenging Ohio State in the big town?
Reginald Basley
To be I think this is Michigan’s best year, in the last five in the last couple of years that Jim bar, Jim Harbaugh has been there. This is probably the best year that he has to catch Ohio State with this whole pandemic. And everybody’s not being able to play. You know, there was just a field he didn’t really even know if he really wanted to play. You got a quarterback right now who’s who’s a dual threat, who’s a legit dual threat quarterback, you got a great running attack, which is probably the best thing about your offense as you’re running an attack. If Chris Evans is your third best running attack, that’s that’s a pretty good running attack right there. So I I would say, Ohio State, Michigan, this is probably the best matchup that Michigan and now hardball has had these past couple of years to face Ohio State.
Tyler Turner
I can see I can come to the house. Yeah, like I was similar to you. I was impressed with notice. He’s, uh, I don’t think he is. I mean, I don’t know. Yeah, I there. I do walk away a bit, a little bit. Like, you know, he was good. And again, he obviously he’s a big guy. He’s a strong arm. He can. He’s very mobile. He added a definite mobility to have not seen there for a Michigan quarterback in recent years. So that’s a nice little twist. And like you said, they’re really back to that. Carbon a. I’m Chris Evans. Blake home. I think they’ve got another guy. It’s good to me. They have a very good stable of running backs. The offensive line I thought was pretty solid. They were they only returned one to five starters Jalen Mayfield, who initially opted out but he opted back in. And so I as a whole really was pretty impressed with myshkin offensively.
Unknown Speaker
Now,
Tyler Turner
there is a part of me that says, was it Michigan? Was it Minnesota? What would you say to that because Minnesota did lose some good players on defense and lost like Antonio Winfield, they lost Kemal Martin they lost Carter kauflin there was three or four guys to the NFL. So do you think that was possible in Minnesota having those missing those guys that left to the NFL and having to fill those holes with just guys that were maybe at the level that definitely have like a Winfield and that possibly attributed to such a successful day for Michigan, especially on the ground?
Reginald Basley
To be honest, I says a little bit of both. I say it’s Minnesota has an experience of being at the contender spot being one of the top teams and a big thing. Being a team with expectation. I feel like that was a big concern coming in because I feel like they just wasn’t really ready. I feel like you got resharpen And back, you still got turning Morgan is still got Muhammad in boom, you got your main players on your offense. I know you lost a couple of players on defense. But you still got mostly a team in tech. And I really just think that Michigan really came to play. This is the first game of the season. So they’re looking to set a tone. And I believe that they came out there with a game plan to show that they’re not like the Michigan teams before. I’ve looked at a stat before I think hardball was one in seven against ranked opponents on the road or I think rank Frank opponents facing ranked opponents. And so this was a big game for him to step up. And the short of quiet the critics down and I think that he was able to do that for this week.
Unknown Speaker
Yeah, um, I mean, Misha, can
Tyler Turner
he under har bar in scribbled light under him because before I was kind of irrelevant on the whole ball, when they have they have more talent, I think riskin has been pretty consistent in beating teams so they have better better guys better. So you got the Jimmy’s in the gels with them, the better Jimmy’s chosen. Jim Arbol. Your I will say he has been consistent for the 60s and now in beating those teams. I was always been the test. For me when it comes to Jim Harbaugh coach teams is when the guys maybe his guys aren’t better when he does have to find a way to beat Ohio State or you know, the one year Florida State Florida or I think Penn State the better teams are better players is always been the big litmus test for for Hall ball. And even this year, Minnesota, you know, had a lot of hype came in in the top 25 obviously has a lot on the offensive side of the ball. But I still man for man, they aren’t as good as Michigan. If you look at the baseline talent of the teams, Michigan has a top 20 roster and Minnesota doesn’t so I still you could call me a hopeful skeptic in Michigan. I liked how they looked. I thought Joe Milton did some good things and if you can hear it the quarterback position that’s huge. I thought that a good running game. I thought they were going the offensive line. I thought they did a good job of getting after Tanner Morgan. But I still have question marks about the wide receiver group. I don’t know I there’s a lot of young guys over there guys, a Giles Jackson, Norman Wilson that they’re young testing talent. But there’s still a question mark other than bell. I don’t know if Ronnie Bell I don’t know if they bring back another really experienced big time wide receiver. And then when it comes to defensive backfield, they still have a very young secondary. And when I see that being problematic, ding ding ding against Ohio State because against Ohio State you’re dealing with the boss I think personally, and I’ve said this over and over again. And he that’s the best wide receiver core in college football. And you’re dealing with one of the best defensive backfields in in college football in high states arguably dBu. So I just have questions still at those positions. And I also have questions with a hardball team beating on nor talented or a team that at least is can match up on an a physical physically on a baseline level with them. What do you think about that?
Reginald Basley
I agree. I would say that Michigan’s best opportunity in those games is to try to get their best players in position to make plays. Hmm. Um, I believe they I believe Michael Barrett. I tweeted this during the game. I said Michael Barrett could be a young jabril peppers. And if he could give them with jabril peppers was able to give them I think it was 2017 inch. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. If he could give him that same productivity as far as coming up with turnovers, you know, beep possibly being able to lock down that number one receiver on that other team, if he’s able to be able to work your secondary basically be the man that jabril peppers was on that secondary for Michigan. I feel like they have an opportunity. I feel like if you give players like Hassan Hawkins of char Benet, Ronnie Bell, you Chris Evans, you have to give these players the ball and you have to give him a space in order in order for Hogwarts to be able to compete with the Penn State’s Darwin’s concept. Ohio stinks. Which is like really the litmus test this Ohio State, huh?
Unknown Speaker
Yeah, that’s what I.
Tyler Turner
Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I could like, Is it the one that I just didn’t haven’t still trouble? Like, if you asked me today, I just don’t would not pick them over. But I mean, that’s to be given. I mean, I picked a few people over I’ll say, but with Penn State, with Penn State and Wisconsin. Yeah, you know, I definitely think I mean, from a baseline but match up and like you said that you have a good running game. And they do have guys that can get after the quarterback, and if they can, first and turnovers. could, I could
Unknown Speaker
definitely see
Tyler Turner
what Michigan being a one. I mean, that’s not out of the realm of possibility. Now that nine to know and winning the big 10. You never know. But I just I would have a hard time pick, I’d have a hard time picking anyone in the big channel for Ohio State. Because even when I saw how steak, we can touch the Mac quickly, when I saw them play against Nebraska, Iowa State didn’t really play that great in the first half. Um, but they weren’t 5217. And when a team can play, you know, pretty good, but not the best and win by 35 points. It’s I don’t know, it’s just as a bleak picture for the rest of the big 10. And I said earlier, I think Nebraska played pretty good. And I think Nebraska has a I think they’re gonna be a decent team. So I felt like they beat a scrub by 35 points. They’d be I think, a team that could be competitive in the big time.
Reginald Basley
Well, I have a question for you. Sure. Do you believe that Ohio State is legit this year? And you believe they’re that they’re worthy of that number three when they just were filed last week or three this week? Do you believe that they’re worried? Do you believe that they are the third best team behind the Alabama and the Clemson
Tyler Turner
I may go out of state. Very possibly it could be the best team. Oh, my question is defense. I still because they lost chasi on the left. Jeffrey recruited off Damon Arnett last week Harrison they lost a lot of really really good players. Now Ohio State recruits as good as anyone. I do a formula you might not know about it. But I do a formula on the sportscast for baseline talent in Ohio State’s third most talented roster college football just based upon recruiting rankings. So they bring in the towel they got the guys there but I do have some question marks about the defense and in the first half Yeah, they kind of syllables question marks that’s always like a given a big player to McCaffrey to give him a couple big plays. Big runs by Martinez. So I’m like maybe a running quarterback. Maybe a team that’s able to spread them out and run after after them get them out position because of the youth but on the offensive side of the ball Justin fields is as good as anyone not named Trevor Lawrence. is Chris I love a Garrett Wilson Julian Fleming Jackson in the I can really do just sit sit a day to study his name Jackson to dig bro. geo Mesa Fleming already but there any even Jimmy Rucker and their tight end group in an even a running back room. That might not be a JK Dobbins back there, but you still got Trey sermons and master T, who are still very good running backs. That offense and the maybe the best offensive line in the big 10. Maybe at all college football. Yeah, I think Ohio State’s i would i probably for them right now because Clemson and Alabama have played more. But at the end of the year, they’re I mean, they only play nine games compared to the other two playing a little more. So that hurts some. But yeah, I think it’s a pick in between those three teams. I mean, last year, Iowa State play I’ll play Clemson in the bowl game they lost but I mean, Ohio State was a better team. I thought overall. Yeah, I yeah, I think I mean, it’s one game, but I picked Ohio State to win the national title before the year. Then COVID after that, we didn’t even know if anything was gonna happen. But yeah, I still wouldn’t be shocked if Ohio State wins at all. I’ll be yourself.
Unknown Speaker
Oh,
Unknown Speaker
well,
Reginald Basley
I just cannot go against my Alabama Cranston tie. Even injury.
Tyler Turner
Or you’re an Alabama guy too. Okay. Yeah.
Unknown Speaker
Alabama Central.
Tyler Turner
Jail was bad, but that’s that injury. But
Unknown Speaker
yeah. But
Tyler Turner
I mean, you have to make Clemson. I mean, that’s a force to be reckoned with on both Besides the ball,
Reginald Basley
defense, I believe Clemson is the I believe out when it comes down to it. And when it comes to that time, Nick Saban will have Alabama as the best team overall, when you’re going into sec when you’re going against those opponents, I feel like the SEC always gets you ready for college football playoffs. But I do believe that Clemson does have the most put together team the most solid, balanced offense defense special teams, I believe that Clemson has the best overall team right now. Notre Dame as much as I want to give love. For spot. I don’t trust Chip Kelly. Don’t
Tyler Turner
you mean that Chip Kelly, Brian?
Reginald Basley
Brian, Kenny, I don’t trust Brian.
Unknown Speaker
Kelly either. You
Tyler Turner
actually are the favor that because I’m an Oregon fan. So I definitely know chip Kelly’s not at Notre Dame. offensively. My question mark with them. Are they have a great defense? But I just don’t know if they can put up enough points to? Yeah, I would. Yeah. I just don’t see anything that is dynamic enough, especially at the wide receiver position that I would consider them really competitive against Clemson, Alabama, Ohio State.
Unknown Speaker
So I need to
Tyler Turner
talk. I mean, the top three right now is Alabama, Ohio State and Clemson. And there’s going to be a fourth team. We’ll find out what it is. I hope it’s the Oregon, Oregon family seven games in the PAC 12. But I hope that’s enough to possibly get in. Because who knows who the other 14 could be. It could be anyone. It could it could be Georgia, but Georgia loses twice. I think they’ll be a little difficult. And then, you know, I thought maybe Penn State but I don’t think that’s going to be them anymore, because they’re probably going to have two losses after this weekend. So yeah, it’ll be interesting to see what happens and thanks for covering the Michigan game. Thanks for you. breakdown of it. And we’ll have you back on here sometime in the near future to talk. Whatever game you want. You’re going to be covering what can be covering this weekend.
Reginald Basley
I’m not even sure yet. I still gotta look.
Unknown Speaker
who’s who. What is the big game this this weekend?
Tyler Turner
are you covering big 10? are you covering a traffic of what what’s the best or the best game this weekend is the big 10 pencil or slow state? That’s pretty much game the week. Also, that’s probably what you’re gonna be covering?
Unknown Speaker
Yeah, that’s probably that’s most likely because
Tyler Turner
I can’t shoot. Well, have you have you? Yeah, I think it was to win, but I’ll have you cover it. We’ll have you cover it with me next Monday. Man.
Reginald Basley
That sounds like a plan.
Tyler Turner
I did well, thanks for coming on and good luck to you all time. There don’t anymore lock the rolling. So and I’ll talk to you next week about Penn State allow said all right, man. Sounds good. I do have gone Okay, that was RJ covering Michigan versus Penn State. And I mean he’s the Michigan dispenser. What am I talking about? tub striker. Oh, he was covering Michigan versus Minnesota. Michigan does Penn State this year? I think they’re play them maybe week. Five or six think it’s towards the end of the season. made some good points about Michigan. I think Michigan like like you said and like I said it the running game is very effective. I mean, I liked how they were able to deploy several different running backs and they had the running backs caught the ball wall, the backfield especially Evans who came back and buttons are very easy dual threat guy. He’s a big physical athletic dude. And he did some good things running. I liked the I liked I liked that aspect. I am skeptical about the wide receiver group and overall passing attack. I know it was a really good honor. But let’s see can be consistent. Is he consistent knacker thrown the ball
Unknown Speaker
that I am waiting to see
Tyler Turner
and I’m waiting to see against Penn State and wait and see against Indiana and wait and see against Wisconsin and then Ohio State so there is some that they’ve some teams are gonna play they’re pretty good. So if they’re seven And oh, by the time they get to Ohio State, maybe Penn State Indiana, Wisconsin, and they’ve looked good and Milton show that you can run and pass and be consistent those receivers They can plays in the defensive backfield which I still have some question marks about it shows that they’re there they’re good you know they can they’re they’re dynamic and studs back there
Unknown Speaker
are
Tyler Turner
slowly everyone’s like me she can get pumped up do the best to the world’s greatest it’s the media does they pump them up? They say everyone’s greatest. Hey, they’re amazing. They’re unbeatable. Hey, you let’s let’s let’s see them week after week game after game playing against different teams different schemes. Wisconsin’s tough scheme Pennsylvania has some dudes on that side of the ball. See how Michigan does that. But good victory by Michigan and Minnesota. They had guys out they had some I believe Covidien say people are very what’s the word coy about COVID test testing. That’s the big big player quarterback or big time player you don’t really hear much so people that believe it or they’re not available like 10 guys are not available. You you kind of got kind of got the indication that’s probably to do with COVID I’m noticing is that people are missing their kicker and missing their punter. They’re missing I believe starting right tackle I think they were missing a linebacker. So they were missing some guys they didn’t need to miss anyone on defense because I think their defense for one is not that great, too. They were much better last year and all those big time all their best players and Juan Antonio Winfield car kauflin Come on martin are gone. So they’re not that great. The bathroom is gone. It just made very definitely not a good defense. And conversely, you’re going to get Michigan is just has more talent so they’re able to run the ball very effectively. And offensively. Morgan did well. He didn’t play amazing though. He missed some throws. And Bateman made some catches but you know, they they they were looking for him. He was double cover at times. And so they tried to make other guys beat him and it was really good. So I kind of wonder if I did not pick them to win the last and I’m glad I didn’t especially after seeing that game. I had them I think I had a second but I don’t even know now we have to do you have to look out
Unknown Speaker
for rasca abrasca they lost
Tyler Turner
35 to Ohio State. That’s what the best college football at say. Um watch out watch out a little bit better. Yeah, I like some things I saw may look like a team that’s hungry wanted to play. Big 10 best game this week last day Penn State. I want to say that Penn State no fans, but interesting stat. So I was like no fans like big 10 no fans no like just quiet, fake noise a little bit like how did the real teams do work, the home team won five out of seven games. And over one I have gone through weekly I didn’t go through every team this week. But I wouldn’t have recently gone through just to various conferences. In the end,
Unknown Speaker
it normally is
Tyler Turner
about a 65 to 70% ratio of the home team still winning. So home field advantage still is a little more applicable but actually I would have thought it must be you ever travel it’s not your stadium you know maybe there’s a little bit of advantage the noise they pump it I think they do proper noise advantage for the home team obviously, you know the Play the band through the speakers for like the big 10 games. I see a they actually have the band there and stuff. But they’re the home team has been more successful. So while home field advantage might not be at a normal year, I’d have to really look at the hard data and might be 75% 7075 in this year. 6570. But I used to have an advantage so don’t feel like oh, it’s at their home. I think I think there’s enough room in the big 10 507 home teams win despite almost having no fans at any of the games. They do a lot of parents there. There was some dance I’m assuming that those parents like my promo 150 200 people in these big huge stadiums goes up to big stadiums or big Ohio State do a decent job putting a cardboard cutout like throughout the stadium. But man big tough teams are big they usually have 75 80,000 you know Michigan the big Al’s Penn State Happy Valley. The Ohio State stadium Keven camp rambles big on like a mortal, all the stadiums are so big when there’s no room there. It’s like whoa, that’s a little bit weird. Looking at Elisa patchwall everything’s gonna have any fans there seems a little smaller stuff to the Rose Bowl that’s big, but a call seems big. Actually, there’s a mixtape out there. Boy alpha same where the reefer reverse stadium is ever last August a place and Pullman weather washes, those seams aren’t that big. They don’t have that many people there, I think they can fit like 35 in Pullman like 45 in Oregon State Oregon, Allison’s only 55. So, you know, put some call outs to them nice. Have some parents spread them out, they will look so empty. And you can also if you’re pumping in noise and actually be a little louder, because actually the tighter the stadium is, the more broad it is. It’s hard to get the noise in there. It’s so big. You have to have a lot of people in there for it to be noisy. I’m a little tired like Alton especially is like goes downhill it’s kind of like parallel it’s like almost like vertical the seating um that’s why it’s so loud. That’s why they call outs and crazies and just create it often it’s considered one of the loudest stadiums and usually when they do it all Stadium in Oregon is top five top 10 and college football fill out this because it’s not that big. And it’s very like compact and it just gets loud. So So bustling the noise, you know in little bit of fans, you know, all summer longer than not looks not so empty. Until so anyways. Are we are almost we’re at the point where Patras is officially four days away from from the F 12 days because answer Friday it’s November 7, seven game season. Hopefully they’re able to get through a little bit of news out of Oregon. They currently had five guys test positive um, I believe they might have suspended practices. I don’t know.
Unknown Speaker
Not kind
Tyler Turner
of people are the kind of media is being left in work. I don’t know if that’s my purpose. I don’t know what’s really behind that. But uh, as of now, Oregon has a little bit of a scare for 12 days before the season on patchwall if they want to even have a chance at being part of the playoffs. They cannot repeat. They cannot miss any games. Any other conference possibly in the big 10 can afford to have some guys go out COVID big Pac 12 camp. That’s the problem with postponing the season as long as they did, and not getting off till November 7 figure themselves no wriggle room. I think that I think college football because they have changed anything yet. And we’re almost at November. We’re a week way. And I think it’s just like how many games you finish finish six finished Tandy, there’s 11 if there’s five, I think that’s what the committee is gonna judge you by and the PAC 12 is probably not I would need some people to lose I believe for the PAC 12 to get into the college football playoff you’re going to have to have losses in every conference for Okay, so you might have Clemson be undefeated everyone else has to have lost a release one game a sec. You might have Alabama be undefeated but you have to I mean sec I’d say more more. You can’t have Georgia come back when that’s the dial. Georgia will be in and so will Alabama you pretty much have to have everyone but the winner which is way Alabama at this point you have to have all Alabama lose to someone who I don’t know who that lose to Auburn. I really don’t think they’re gonna lose another game. I don’t think they’re gonna The only loss they could lose. If I had to predict the only possible loss in their schedule is an SEC championship in Georgia, maybe Florida. I can’t I can’t can’t completely women Florida, Florida plays Georgia here in two weeks actually. And if they beat them, then they obviously are in the driver’s seat to win that east. And you know, for probably, I doubt they’d beat Alabama they don’t really have a good enough defense. I think they have trouble stopping Alabama, but there’s no offense there. They’re good team. So I don’t think I don’t think either the Jalen model injury that Alabama loses but losing the best playmaker college football guys probably going to be a top 15 pick. It’s not good. It’s really not good at all. So I mean, I would say I’m not positive, but you know, you still got a terrific offense. You got Matt Jones is just playing lights out. Devin Smith, john man, she is Slade, bold and yet one of the best running backs college Football now Jr’s the best of the wind possibly. I mean several NFL guys Alex leatherwood. To name it’s several more of them stamen born the overall NFL probably offers some pics good enough defense i mean is the defense could play better but they play better second Africans Georgia play better get Tennessee you said a lot of four guys Patrick certeyn Dylan Moses Mosley, DJ Dale, Christian Barrymore, you still got so many great players on Alabama I don’t think I don’t think they lose I think they go undefeated I think they beat Georgia or Florida I do think it’s Georgia i but i think Georgia unless they somehow find that quarterback that can get them rolling I really don’t think they can just hit the big name wall ball. So therefore
Unknown Speaker
going back completely getting off subject stay on task.
Tyler Turner
I think you’d have to have a one loss team other than Bama and pretty much is Georgia there is a possibility that Texas a&m and I’d have to look at their schedule I’m not looking at right now but there’s possibly been with one loss could have one loss Texas a&m ended up getting is a 14 maybe then you have to ACC is the one I really think of is daughter day they play Clemson twice they would have to be Clemson I think the most likely to beat Clemson in two weeks at Notre Dame it’s at Notre Dame in that’s a game that
Unknown Speaker
possibly
Tyler Turner
specially if you can get weather in your favor. They have a good defense they can run the ball could they possibly get the upset
Unknown Speaker
if they get the upset
Tyler Turner
even if Clemson comes back and wins the ACC you’d have to think a one loss Notre Dame would have a chance I’m earning my bless play Miami I believe they also have played North Carolina North Carolina in Miami also have one loss obviously between I mean someone’s gonna lose within those teams again um I if I’m going to predict I don’t think loves loses I think it’d be Notre Dame I think they I think actually nor named wins every other game by Clemson. I think it store name versus Clemson I ignored him losers twice. And so that in my opinion that eliminates so. So in my head, I think Georgia. Um, I think they end up being the kind of the spoiler for the fourth team. I think they both lose. There you go. The big 12 who stayed still undefeated, they did beat did beat Iowa State this week.
Unknown Speaker
I still
Tyler Turner
don’t buy them. I actually buy them offensively. I actually buy them more defensively. That’s weird. Oklahoma state’s never had defense but they have a pretty good defense. They have an opportunity to be events. They can make plays and guff court quarterback, but they still play Texas, they still play Kansas State. They still play Oklahoma, then they’re going to play one of those teams or maybe I was I was state again in the big 12 championship. They’re not going to go undefeated. I you know I hate being definitive like No, but I don’t think Oklahoma State I actually think twice twice. I think they’ll lose Stoke Lola let’s just say that one I have losing that and then they’ve got to go go the big championship probably play Oklahoma maybe Kansas State again I don’t know um, I think every team in the big 12 because every other team has one loss or two losses both Oklahoma and Texas have to our state has to one loss for Kansas State who’s got over like we can say soon this year that one losses to the No No, that wasn’t Louisiana. That was I would say they were losses to um oh my goodness, they’re one loss was at home, too. Was it Arkansas say I think it was Arkansas State, I believe is Arkansas State. And they got outplayed. They just got to play first game of season.
Unknown Speaker
Um, I
Tyler Turner
believe the big 1012 champion will have two losses and therefore. Okay, so then this is my mind going through a penciller. Last, Wisconsin, if Graham moats who tested positive for covid if he can play I could see Wisconsin going to the big 10 championship being undefeated. I also could see them losing in Michigan. I haven’t lose Michigan. Ah, I think I was losing to someone else but I can’t think off top my head
Unknown Speaker
miskeen someone
Tyler Turner
else someone else had a bad way in the West. But if they’re gonna have one loss to our state so soon This starter wins every game moves Ohio State they have one loss Georgia to loss runner up your game to loss runner up. champion of the big 12 I thought I had Oklahoma they come back when the rest of the games be a mistake to Oklahoma champion. One loss Wisconsin runner up one loss to loss Georgia runner up to last door de mettre up. Oregon seven oh Pac 12 champion. He beats USC to win it.
Unknown Speaker
Who do you take?
Tyler Turner
When you take let’s get one more sexy name in there so excellent was wrestler game stops he doesn’t win the West because he got killed by Alabama when na sets them to last Georgia
Unknown Speaker
to Los nodebb.
Unknown Speaker
One loss Wisconsin
Unknown Speaker
to loss Oklahoma.
Tyler Turner
I think immediately kind of go to who won the conference. That’s what I do. It’s kind of like Rue. It’s good. It’s close. I don’t know. What. Okay, he plays in the best car. Okay. Who won the conference? Oregon, Oklahoma, who plays in the best conference and had the highest toughest schedules who had the best conference with the toughest schedules and most play against the most rated teams? I’m just thinking that you’re gonna come out of Magna Carta. Did sec. Okay, so you got Georgia and now what? Who had the rank victories and this boy I’m thinking Georgia’s, you know, beating Florida where else they like upper end games in a Florida State, maybe one another rank in
Unknown Speaker
Oregon, be ranked
Tyler Turner
USC here’s one. That’s great. Oklahoma at this point would have been Oklahoma State a couple times. So there were a couple of games. So Oregon’s kind of getting weak on that end, but they have no losses, but there are seven games. But they won the back wall
of Utah for the committee. I don’t know it’s that’d be controversial because there’s a party you’d be in like the old play seven games. Yeah, but they play games. And they played the PAC 12. Team. How they look maybe they you know, maybe they Yeah, they won by average like 1012 points. They did dominate and destroyed at USC hypothetically 3828 in the PAC 12 championship. I don’t know that I don’t know if that’s a fast roster but then you were like give it to a two loss Oklahoma team and Oklahoma team that was two games to begin here. You’re gonna give it to Georgia. They lost twice. They didn’t win sec but they did lose to Alabama twice. And they lost once and the last Alabama one was three games. Wisconsin. undefeated two other comp champs. Yep. lost to Ohio State. They said I’ve already eliminated Notre Dame. Limited. Oh, since I brought Wisconsin up though. So yesterday in northern Notre Dame de Bie, North North Carolina dollar losses to Clemson the best team you know, I call it a tough, tough I mean, I’m an Oregon fan. I’ll get it gets it did deserve it. Any point is like they did when the power five conference. They didn’t lose. But they only played seven games, but it’s not their fault. My hunch Borden gets it in that scenario that I say because they won their conference. They didn’t lose any games. I have a hunch. And because you can even say Oklahoma compared Well, did Oklahoma lose what once in those seven games? They lost twice in the first seven games. Did Georgia lose in the first seven games they lost once in the first seven games? Did Notre Dame burn a little last ones because they’d have lost a Clemson Wisconsin? No,
Unknown Speaker
but
Tyler Turner
Wisconsin’s only played nine games so they didn’t even play any more games. So you know you’re in the last second game. So when you break it down to maybe that and that’s what you’d have to do. First seven games. Oregon’s undefeated that one of their conference title. Anyways, but I don’t think the number 14 is gonna be able to hang with the top three I I truly believe the top three teams Cause for pause Alabama Ohio State Clemson if I was going to gun to my head today would I pick
them to shoot me man if I could put the gun away? No I oh man right now put myself on the spot. I could go in my head so violent ah man cuz I want to say Clemson because they’re all around you have a great defense great defensive line. Terrific a quarterbacks best quarterback last week college football court one of maybe the best running back college football good offensive line. I want to say the most complete tee darbus we needed one two titles last five years. But oh isn’t like the play anyone but just at the same time. Good bender college football player five years in a row, then played this style for five years. They’ve run it twice in the last five years. So who cares? They still beat good teams and they play them. And by the time they play football, they’ll obviously play Notre Dame possibly a couple times. Or North Carolina Miami, Miami, Miami, Miami, the top 15 team right now.
Unknown Speaker
So I want to
Tyler Turner
say Clemson but then you I just love well hyoe State has a wide receiver and dynamic quarterback if he’s on it, he’s great. He’s passing the ball better and if he’s not throwing up he can just run for days on you and that says that’s just a tough offense and they serve a lot of talent on defense and an Alabama their offense is great super occasion just been great all year back Jones has been great all year general injury against Clemson against Ohio State when you’re gonna have to keep up and well that matter for some reason and I don’t like Alabama on defense a time I think they’re good i but i they I have seen holes I have seen the Metallica’s I’ll miss I saw them struggle in the first half against Georgia.
Unknown Speaker
So will that against
Tyler Turner
Clemson in all say come back to bite them? I personally probably go Clemson Ohio State Alabama right now. And then fourth, I don’t know.
Unknown Speaker
Honestly, fourth,
Tyler Turner
like I think it seems that I mentioned Actually, I know I was just kind of like seemed like I was talking to myself and going through these scenarios. But when I mentioned this, I actually would probably go Texas a&m, Georgia, Georgia. I would leave Georgia to be the number 14 I think they’re the best defensive college football.
Unknown Speaker
They just
Tyler Turner
don’t have it at the quarterback position stance and Bailey will not win your national title. I will think since and Bailey because of him and because of the SEC if they put in the PAC 12 Stenson daily could take them to playoffs.
Unknown Speaker
There’s no time the big time.
Tyler Turner
You could take him to a big 10 championship game we probably all say because the quarterback position but then a good defense that can give anyone trouble and maybe athletes. I could see Georgia be I think Georgia fourth but I honestly I think they’re gonna lose Alabama again and I think two losses not winning your conference. And they have to have they have to hope that everyone else
Unknown Speaker
they for
Tyler Turner
them to make it with two losses not winning the conference. They would have to hope the big 12 has ever to loss champion. ACC would have to figure out how to losses outside of Clemson and Pac 12 probably could not be undefeated. I know that’s crazy right patravi like no no a to loss Georgia I do not. That’s not my champion. I do not think USC Oregon finishes undefeated. No I don’t I really don’t.
Unknown Speaker
So.
Unknown Speaker
pumped actors MST
Tyler Turner
first week of the big 10 we have a good week this week. Um, the big games Ohio State Penn State, obviously taken Ohio State. Other good games. Yeah, Michigan, Michigan, Michigan says 90 good. Michigan really rolls now one Purdue against Illinois. I liked what Purdue did. They didn’t have a lot more and they still beat Iowa. Going up doing that game. Wisconsin in Nebraska. I would have said Wisconsin, but if Graham Mertz cannot play he’s supposedly tested positive for COVID if he cannot play at Nebraska, Nebraska looks a lot better. That could be an interesting game. If mercs plays, I got Wisconsin, if Mertz doesn’t play. I am actually going to take Tabasco
Unknown Speaker
as of right now,
Tyler Turner
he tested positive his initial test, I believe they do another test. And I believe if you get like two negatives data As the positive is two or three negatives, but if he is positive on the other test, then he will not be playing and they will be on the third string quarterback because Jacqueline’s supposed to be starter. And I really do believe at that point nebraskaland second, which would be huge. That’d be a huge victory. And honestly, who knows that boy could Nebraska when the big turn West paid, really? Maybe on Northwestern at Iowa was
Unknown Speaker
a lot better
Tyler Turner
either. doesn’t look that good. They had a playoff offseason. Oh, I’m gonna take Iowa, but I’m not as confident with that as I would have been India Walker’s great store, of course, given that victory hair. I love that. I like India. I think India is a pretty good team. They go by Penn State, but I still think they’re good team. I still like Michael Phoenix, the quarterback. I still think they have some good pieces on offense. I still think they have a solid defense. I think Indiana wins that game. Ohio State at Penn State. Penn State’s going to either come on plan. I think they’re gonna give Ohio State as good a shot as they can give them. Do. I think it’s enough. No, I don’t. I see. Ohio says better. And that’s it. That’s it for this week. And then next week is going to be big fan Pac 12. Next week is probably going to be very Pac 12 centric, we’re gonna probably hit up I’m gonna be write a few articles I’m gonna be writing how I raped position groups in the PAC 12. I did that for the big 10. I already have it completed. I believe Oregon wins the position ranking overall rankings close between them and USC. And I also have the ranking of the top 25 players in the PAC 12. I believe actually SC has the most than that fall by Oregon. It is guys check out the sports cast on net nets wherever articles check out our app on iTunes. And once again, like us, follow us on youtube Twitter, and we will break down all the action we can get to you and me specifically, I’m talking to you about the big 10 in the PAC 12. We had RJ on this week. We’ll probably have him on next week to talk about Penn State Ohio so I might try to get a PAC 12 guy on next week till that’s another option I might try to get someone who in Pac 12 country to you know banter back and forth and see what we got with some data see who we like and who we don’t like and what we project on force eyed folks. Have a good night and God bless
