Doc? Happy Thursday? Happy beginning of the NFL combine gets going, I believe today so a lot for us, Probably break down next week when it comes to that, But man, happy Thursday. Couple more days Disney, So I me, I'm pretty pumped.

Uh when exactly hold on?

Uh when exactly hold on?

Wow?

Go, dude, I mean figure out next week. I'm a fucking star. I'll hold it down. Dude. Don't worry, go enjoy Disney. We got it. No worries, even though maybe we can get some like Disney thoughts from you at some point during the week. I hope everybody's having a great day today, though, I'm really excited for today's show. So normally like to do mailbag on Tuesday, we did not because we had chased Daniel and who was awesome And if you haven't seen it, I cannot recommend enough going to check out the interview. It's a lot of fun as very long chase as the man Jeff Solz says's Perkins moving inside the box his choice because he wants me into lemback in the NFL. We'll get to that a bit later during mailbag. So we got that going on, We're gonna talk about this new fourteen team playoff that's been banded about, which I have a lot of thoughts on a lot of uh, well, I don't want to spend too long on it, but it just I just mean that I started in one place, and I'm not sure that it's maybe as cut and dry as where I started. So we'll do a little pros cons game with it. And then ESPN had a great piece. I believe it was Bill Connelly. I forgot to check the author, but it's the Yeah, of course, it's the ten most interesting quarterbacks entering twenty twenty four. And there's a couple names on there that probably bear mentioning that I hadn't really thought about. So we'll get some shine to that and try to pick our one, and then we'll get into a mailbag. As always, thank you so much for hanging out with us. We love you, and please hit the like button share all the things that please the algorithmic gods. That ruler exists. It's fourteen point seven, Kate, we're looking for fifteen. Let's keep that push up, my friends. All right, we ready to dive in.

Let's go. We're we going first, We're gonna do.

Let's go. We're we going first, We're gonna do.

It's over with the fourteen team playoffs. So, in case you missed it, we've talked about it plenty. College football is meeting right now to determine its future. The twelve team Playoff is locked in for the next two years. After that, the College Wall Playoff in ESPN have a deal agree to in principle to pay the playoff one point three billion per year. However, nobody act knows what the playoff format will look like. They're trying to hammer that out right now. We talked about maybe the SEC and the Big ten breakaway, well maybe not as the latest model that seems to be gaining some steam reportedly though it's impossible. No, but don't be naive. Okay, there's still a lot of reporting going on that people are talking about breaking away from the NCAA entirely right, So, like everything's being talked about, but this is gaining steam and it's the idea of a fourteen team playoff in which the Big ten would have three guaranteed spots, the SEC would have three guaranteed spots, the Big twelve would have two, the ACC would have two, the Group of five would had one. But a bing ba boom that leaves three spots for at large bids and if Notre Dame is in the top fourteen, they would get one of those at large bids. Aaron gut reaction when you saw this setup.

Why is the SEC in the Big ten giving away four spots to the ACC and the Big twelve? Like that was my first reaction. We talked about this. I believe a Monday or was it last week? Where they have all the power the Big ten in the SEC, as you just brought up, The discussion is not over of do they eventually just move on and kind of have their own league? But why give up two? I get giving up The ACC can take one spot, the Big ten can get another spot, but or bsuse me the Big twelve. I don't want a Big twelve team that would, like say, a Top twenty five is ranked in the twenties, gets an automatic bid because they're the number two team in that conference. I just I'm a little bit surprised that the SEC and the Big Ten, with all the star power in both those leagues, are willing to give up a couple more spots to the ACC and the Big twelve.

That was my first So my gut reaction was, Oh, I hate this, Like this is the dumbest shit ever. Like, we just got the twelve, it's a good setup. Can't we just sit there for a little little bit? And I was kind of like you, I couldn't quite put my finger on it. Why was I feeling so negative about it? I think Jake Hester in the morning showed did a very good job of kind of helping me verbalize my thoughts where I think a lot of it was coming from the fact of it takes away a little bit of the luster right in that right now, I still think winning the conference at the conference championship really matters. You have that bye week, it's very singular. There's four bids up for grabs. It's the only way to guarantee yourself a trip to the playoff. Now, if you're talking about okay, well, you know you get three teams they're gonna does.

That kind of does does it gonna buy the buye still there though, I mean, but hold on, But if they're scared about the converce chamanship losing juice, you shouldn't be scared with this.

Model because there is still incentive to win the SEC. They're still incentive to win.

Uh I as well, I kind of disagree because well, well, you don't want to buy uh not if there's gonna be a I mean not, it doesn't make that much of Well, hold on, we'll get there in a little bit'll get there a little bit because here's because here's where we'll get into the prosocons. Because here's what that was my initial reaction. Then I start reading about it, and there's a thing about Okay, if you're telling me my two choices are we break up college football and form a super league or you do this, which I don't think is that binary? But like I would rather this, like yes, would cheap would Big twelve? And acc be kind of writing coattails into cheap spots? Absolutely, but I prefer that over the full dissolution of college football as a whole. But again, you don't have to make that binary. Here's what I got as the pros or I'll ask you this, does it make the regular season more interesting?

Uh I as well, I kind of disagree because well, well, you don't want to buy uh not if there's gonna be a I mean not, it doesn't make that much of Well, hold on, we'll get there in a little bit'll get there a little bit because here's because here's where we'll get into the prosocons.

Absolutely, but I prefer that over the full dissolution of college football as a whole. But again, you don't have to make that binary. Here's what I got as the pros or I'll ask you this, does it make the regular season more interesting?

See I'm in I'm I am in the sense of twelve team, fourteen team. The rare season is more interesting. This isn't college basketball. We're not going to get fatigued with twelve Saturdays of college football. So I don't think there's a fatigue factor that's going to play into this. And I do think and this is just for me as a player, because I lived through the bcsre t Bob, you lift through the BCS ere. We understood that you work your ass off for seven eight months Matt Drill, springball, summer, fall camp, and then if you lose one game, you are essentially eliminate from the BCS. Well, now in today's world, you lose two games, you're essentially eliminated from the playoffs. Like I'm me personally believe if you do incentivize more teams and give them an opportunity to win or at least make it to the playoffs, it does make for more interesting games later on the season.

So I agree with you. I have an under a pro like I think this leads to some interesting conference watching situations. Maybe all of a sudden like Kansas. Kansas State has massive playoff implications as well as just being a great like kind of in state rivalry there, So I agree. I would say another pro. I like that it would put a bit more emphasis on conference standings, like objective conference standings then subjective CFP rankings. We all know how I felt about that, And I think a pro is that it has to feel pretty attractive to every conference as long as the money split is what everybody wants to be, and it has to feel attractive to the schools themselves, right, Uh, nobody wants to do. This is why Louisiana can't get shit done business wise. You can't attract new business. The tax code is fucking Swiss cheese. It's so crazy. There's so many loopholes, there's so much like ways to manipulate, so many breaks, but so many breaks at different ways that it in fact becomes it disincentivizes business from coming here because nobody understands, like what the fuck they actually need to do In that same way, I think as a school, a coach, a conference, it's this is way clearer in terms of you want to make the playoffs here. It is okay, Like it's it's very simple. Finish one, two or three of the conference. One or two in the conference. I would tell you that is a pro as well. Do you have any other pros to this system?

No? I not. I agree. Like if I am the Big Twelve, if I'm the ACS, see, like I walk away from the situation saying, hell, yeah, let's go. Especially the Big Twelve. You know they a sec if they do stay intact and you have the Florida State in the Miami and the Clemson and the Carolina is Like, you walk away saying, like, we get two possibly three if we get one of the you know, the three remaining spots when it's all said and done, that's a win for our conference. I think the Big Twelve even bigger win for them, because I honestly doubt year in a year out that they would even have one of the top fourteen teams in America.

No? I not. I agree. Like if I am the Big Twelve, if I'm the ACS, see, like I walk away from the situation saying, hell, yeah, let's go. Especially the Big Twelve.

They'll get They'll get one, I mean, can't e's really good? You don't think Kansas State could be up in that number? I guess to your point, who else?

They'll get They'll get one, I mean, can't e's really good? You don't think Kansas State could be up in that number? I guess to your point, who else?

Like for the Big tim That's what I'm saying, that they get two in there, that's a big win for that conference.

Like for the Big tim That's what I'm saying, that they get two in there, that's a big win for that conference.

This is a big win. Now they're gonna have.

This is a big win. Now they're gonna have.

Money, Yes, money's gonna be okay.

Money, Yes, money's gonna be okay.

So uh now I'll get into someone I see some of the cons. Like I said, I think it takes me the luster from a playoff spot here there's this is more of a question. Uh well, first off, uneven, strength of schedule does come into play here, right, exactly what you're talking about. The Big twelve has an advantage because they play less good teams and so it's you know, technically an easier pass.

So uh now I'll get into someone I see some of the cons. Like I said, I think it takes me the luster from a playoff spot here there's this is more of a question. Uh well, first off, uneven, strength of schedule does come into play here, right, exactly what you're talking about. The Big twelve has an advantage because they play less good teams and so it's you know, technically an easier pass.

But like there's not like there's a dominant team in the conference where maybe no, there's still the same playing field.

But like there's not like there's a dominant team in the conference where maybe no, there's still the same playing field.

So which is why, which is why I kind of like it, even though it is uneven and it may you know, as an LSU fan and maybe like we have to play Old miss and blah blah blah, but like, but essentially you're on the same level as those teams, just like Kansas State is on the same level as those teams. Right, So I think there is a fairness in that. I'll ask you a question, what a fourteen team playoff disincentivized good scheduling since raw win loss kind of takes over for things like resume, remember Texas's win over Bama is what made them the no doubt choice for the three seed last year.

So which is why, which is why I kind of like it, even though it is uneven and it may you know, as an LSU fan and maybe like we have to play Old miss and blah blah blah, but like, but essentially you're on the same level as those teams, just like Kansas State is on the same level as those teams.

Well, I think there's still needs to be a conversation going forward of are we going to add it, especially in the SEC? Are we going to add a ninth SEC game? And I think if you do get to that point where where all that truly matters is your record within the conference in order to get one of these three spots for both the SEC and the Big Ten, then like I'm not as concerned about three weeks where you're scheduling maybe you know less big competitive games outside the conference. If you can tell me as a fan that I'm going to get at nine SEC games and these are the big games that are going to determine those three spots that are going to be filled from our conference, I'm I'm fine with it. I'm fine with it. I think you have to add more. You have to add more games within the conference? Uh more? Yes? One more?

Well, I think there's still needs to be a conversation going forward of are we going to add it, especially in the SEC? Are we going to add a ninth SEC game?

I'm fine with it. I think you have to add more. You have to add more games within the conference? Uh more? Yes? One more?

Well, you spin's gonna pay. Also, I think I'm an idiot now that I actually think about this, because it would be your conference when loss is all that matters, So like you could be seven to one in the SEC and having lost, like let's say you lost every game out of conference, you would still get a playoff spot.

Well, you spin's gonna pay. Also, I think I'm an idiot now that I actually think about this, because it would be your conference when loss is all that matters, So like you could be seven to one in the SEC and having lost, like let's say you lost every game out of conference, you would still get a playoff spot.

Yeah, you just may affect the where in the playoff yeah the spot? Yeah yeah, still sure.

Yeah, you just may affect the where in the playoff yeah the spot? Yeah yeah, still sure.

Okay, so it just puts conference play So actually, maybe that incentivizes good schedule because you could test yourself and have more error. Okay, I'm glad you talked that out. Uh. And then the last I mean, mother comm would be like, you know, does it do you need conference championships at this point? You say the two bye weeks matter. If you were to go to this model, I think that would be the kind of proverbial straw for me where you get rid of those games and then you just honor the team that won the regular season championship and that rewards a season long of hard work. I mean, we're already moving away from divisions, so it kind of feels like that makes sense kind of anyway in a lot of ways. So I think at the end of this, I don't know that I hate the fourteen team playoffs, and I bet you you're out of a lot. I think that's a lot of the same rhythm that probably a lot of these people went through in these conversations like wheeling gross. But it's kind of like from a pros con standpoint, it doesn't seem like the worst.

No, no, no, no, I do like it. Would you hate it? Though? If they did come out tomorrow and said, you know, because I think I do believe the goal is by the end of March, mark starts tomorrow, by the end of March that they plan is set for twenty twenty six of what this playoff is going to look like. If they came out in two weeks and say, rubber stant fourteen team playoff. Oh, and by the way, we're getting rid of conference championships, would that change your mind?

No, no, no, no, I do like it. Would you hate it? Though? If they did come out tomorrow and said, you know, because I think I do believe the goal is by the end of March, mark starts tomorrow, by the end of March that they plan is set for twenty twenty six of what this playoff is going to look like. If they came out in two weeks and say, rubber stant fourteen team playoff. Oh, and by the way, we're getting rid of conference championships, would that change your mind?

No, That's what I'm saying. I think that would make sense to do.

No, That's what I'm saying. I think that would make sense to do.

I've been on it. You know how I feel about that.

I've been on it. You know how I feel about that.

I've been Yeah, in a twelve team playoff, I still don't think so. Again, I feel like the goal is much more singular. You want to guarantee a spot in you win your conference championship. It creates interesting situations in a twelve team playoff in which, uh like, you could have a team that maybe won't even make the playoff right in the odd year where they somehow make it in and then they managed to win the SEC championship like a like, like an LSU and three against the number two ranked Tennessee or whatever. Man, I remember going to that game, right, if you do that and all of a sudden you sneak in out of nowhere. So in a twelve team playoff again, I still think it's holding on to just enough reward. But I think fourteen breaks is to know, I wouldn't be mad. I think I think you can go fourteen. You probably have to get.

The one thing that I want, that the one thing that I would love that that would be added into this entire thing. If this is a fourteen team playoff. And I don't know how it works financially because of the bulls and obligations for certain bulls to be a part of it, but I would personally love the first two weeks to be on campus. I mean, yeah, yeah, if you are one of the teams that gets a buy, yeah, it's great to have a buy. Don't get me wrong, I still take a bye if you give me the option, like, hey, you either get a home game or you get a buy. I'm gonna get a BUYE. But why not have two weeks on campus. That way, you know those teams that are the two best teams in the country, the best team of the Big Ten, the best team in the SEC. Not only do you get the reward of getting that buy, you also get next week on your home turf, get two weeks instead of one.

H team crop Uster wh says Texas, take me the piss out of old miss Missippi State back combining seventy six thirty two last three years. It's not acting middle of the pack. SEC is anything special. I think it vacillates, but I I mean, I think there's also a ton Like I think SEC fans can maybe go a bit too far with the with the incredible nature of the SEC and how dominant the whole conference is, and certainly there's a lot of losses point to early last season. Uh, but if you like look into the analytics and oh what like the S and P plus the Bill Connolly doesn't just I mean whatever like bowl records, Like I think we're all comfortable in saying that the SEC is a cut above the Big twelve though though though again.

Huts multiple cuts ahead.

Well that's what I'm saying, Yeah, but then that's what I'm saying. But the team crop Doester's point like, maybe it's you know, the three to two breakdown maybe makes a bit more sense because, like we said, they're on an even playing field, and you know those teams do beat these other teams.

Well that's what I'm saying, Yeah, but then that's what I'm saying. But the team crop Doester's point like, maybe it's you know, the three to two breakdown maybe makes a bit more sense because, like we said, they're on an even playing field, and you know those teams do beat these other teams.

Well, and I I'll say this, I said more of surprise that it was that three three two two one model for this and stuff like s you see in the Big twelve hold or Big ten holding all the power of the room from a health of college football to keeping football a national coage football more of a national thing where everyone fields included. Because it's twenty twenty four, that that is the best model to do. That is the best I'm just being honest. So so yeout those that Big twelve team that's not rating it's on the top twenty five. But you come in second in your conference, you're in the playoffs. Let's do it.

Well, and I I'll say this, I said more of surprise that it was that three three two two one model for this and stuff like s you see in the Big twelve hold or Big ten holding all the power of the room from a health of college football to keeping football a national coage football more of a national thing where everyone fields included.

But you come in second in your conference, you're in the playoffs. Let's do it.

So so you're turning this this is now embroiled in the culture wars. The fourteen team playoff is a is a result of people being soft and participation trophies. Yeah, raw, I mean, I hate to say it, but I actually said something along similar lines this morning, and now I think that's actually ridiculous. I mean, obviously, the motivating factors here are not participation. Uh, it's it's money, and it's everybody trying to guarantee themselves the easiest paths to money, and more games means more money. And again, an easier path is desirable to do business, or a clearer path where you know exactly what's expected. But but yeah, yeah exactly. PG. Fourteen Team Playoffs an invention of the woke media mm FO.

Alex Lenny and the chat Aaron Murray, you used to have spiked that ball in the SEC Championship cost me fi grants. Don't come at me, Alex. Don't Alex thought you becoming Alex. It's fun at first day. You'll come after Mike Bobo and mark that one because your boy was running down the field saying spike spike, spike spikes. Oh that's yeah, that'sh Don't put it on me, all right, I mean give that man a CDL.

Uh, team craft says, I think three and two is fair. Not gonna lie. I mean, I again, it sounds kind of insane. I and you feel the same. I came and I didn't. I text the group yesterday this is the dumbest goddamn shit I've ever seen this. Yeah, yeah, it was last night. That's what I'm saying. And it's funny. I think my brain has kind of shifted a little bit. Marshall. I just said, I hope saying he's a dumb enough to have this model. Uh no fucking automatic qualifiers at all. I went the best twelve to fourteen teams again. So that's part of the appeal to me of the automatic qualifiers is that determining who is best is sometimes best left.

But not not even in the NFL, we have that, like you win, you could have a division team like you know, I know the NFC South feel like they always have this. You could have like the Bucks or the Saints at like eight and eight or I guess whatever, you know, they what's seventeen games now and they can make it over a team that as a better record, But you won your division, you're in so bro.

Okay, let's react in to the tantum interesting quarterbacks in twenty twenty four, and it starts with a name that well, I'll start here, who.

Okay, let's react in to the tantum interesting quarterbacks in twenty twenty four, and it starts with a name that well, I'll start here, who.

Would be your most interesting quarterback going in twenty four?

Would be your most interesting quarterback going in twenty four?

Uh?

Uh?

Go on, this was a really good list, I'll be honest, like I was going through like damn, Like I didn't think about that, honestly, Like number six kJ Jefferson really jumps off to me there.

Go on, this was a really good list, I'll be honest, like I was going through like damn, Like I didn't think about that, honestly, Like number six kJ Jefferson really jumps off to me there.

Yeah, I thought he was more boring answers.

Yeah, I thought he was more boring answers.

No, I'm I've been a big fan of kJ. And I remember last year when I had Arkansas their spring game and I went down there and I'm watching him take a million drops from under center. He's working on the five step drop and the seven step drop, and I'm talking to Danyos and he's like, man, we're gonna turn him into a professional quarterback. I'm like, all right, well so that works? What it fucking work? It was an absolute disaster of you don't turn a thoroughbred quarterback that is six three two point fifty that can run into a traditional quarterback that's just not who he is. And we saw kJ take a step back last year. Now you said him. Now he goes to UCF, he's with Gus, He's in a lesser conference in the Big twelve. I think kJ can shine next year. I think he has all the tools you want to be a successful quarterback, big, strong, good runner. Sill needs to work on some of the intermediate throws, but can throw the football down the field. I think he's due for a big breakout year under Gus.

I think he's due for a big breakout year under Gus.

So yeah, I guess, I guess I'm a bit guilty of thinking that maybe it didn't matter because and I'm sorry to Chris Tranner, a wonderful producer. Don't want to offend, But does UCF matter, like to the to the larger landscape. Do you think they're good enough to actually pull off a Big twelve champion?

So yeah, I guess, I guess I'm a bit guilty of thinking that maybe it didn't matter because and I'm sorry to Chris Tranner, a wonderful producer. Don't want to offend, But does UCF matter, like to the to the larger landscape. Do you think they're good enough to actually pull off a Big twelve champion?

Chip? I mean, if they are, then they getting I think I think that conference is wide open, see because my wide open Utah. I think Utah is a big favorite. But I think like UCF could could, could could be a team that could turn from what what six and six last year? Six and seven to an eight nine win team.

But I think like UCF could could, could could be a team that could turn from what what six and six last year? Six and seven to an eight nine win team.

Yeah, yeah, it's just I mean, I like the other name on this list. We're just going big twelve. I like Avery Johnson from Kansas State. He was he was like the Wildcats Nico Iyama Liava in that he was a big time recruit, landed sitting behind Will Howard biding his time. Will Howard leaves right now. They kind of forced Joe Milton out in the other case. But Will Howard leaves, he gets to start in the bowl game, and and and and he's he he acquits himself very well, beats an NC State team then won five in a row, and Sea State was going for ten wins. Like if you didn't watch the Pop Tarts Bowl, that was one of the better bowl games of the entire season, and both teams really gave a fuck and really wanted to be there. And as a freshman first ever started, he was fourteen to thirty one one sevy eight two touch two picks. But then seven carries for seventy one and a score on the ground gets your team to ten wins. I think or that pushman a nine either way. And look, I'm a big Chris Cleman believer. And what He's built there in Little Manhattan. So it's like I look at Utah, I look at Kansas State as probably the favorites there, and so yeah, I would put Avery Johnson like him, cam Rise, he could actually probably be on this list as well, given that last year was such a tease and we never saw him again. But the article starts with Drew Aller. Yep, And I think Drew Allen is a great answer. It has to be fair. Last year was probably not as disastrous as we painted. The numbers weren't awful. They were awful in the biggest games, but and they were always conservative. And that's what James Franklin has to figure out. Can he let him go? Can they find some way to threaten downfield? But Penn State is what did pet say? The twelve team playoff was made for Penn State? Right Like, essentially they stand out one of the biggest beneficiaries. Uh, they got no mission on the schedule Ohio States going to Happy Valley and they can just unlock some success downfield. H Then Drew Aller could make Pen State into yeah, one of the big winners of twenty twenty four.

No, one hundred percent, they should be one of the big winners of twenty twenty four. Let's forget this just goes to the problem of just society in general. I'm not trying to be like you know, I know this is the second time I've brought up some issues football player.

This day a good day for your boy. Uh. It was year one last year, and I know he's a big five star kid that looks really good. Uh, that can throw it up you know, a country mile whatever whatever you want to, you know, throw throw it him with with with shorts on. But it was still his first season in a really good conference. Like year two is always the big jump. We was about like year two it's the big jump for quarterbacks. So would true new offensive weapon. They got the receiver from Ohio State. They got the best probably the best Tannem of running backs or second best tanne of running backs in the conference behind Ohio States. I think this is a big prove it year for me for him. Last year was good. It was it was good. It wasn't super sexy like you alluded to, did not play well in the big time games. Looked like those games kind of got to them a little bit.

Yeah, year two.

Yeah, year two.

Just speaking from experience now, I was six and seven my rookie year, our first freshman year, six and training.

Just speaking from experience now, I was six and seven my rookie year, our first freshman year, six and training.

That's crazy.

That's crazy.

And guess what, I went on to throw more touchdowns than anyone else in the SEC. So you wouldn't have thought about that after our first year, not saying that he's gonna go out there and just kick ass. But I went from like mid twenty touchdowns to mid thirties in the SEC championship game. There is a massive sense of confidence that comes with heading into your second season.

Uh eighty Chilli's at Michigan State, says clemt Moses. I'm sorry to say that I don't know much about Choice. I'll have to look him up. I haven't thought about Michigan State in a while. I haven't thought about Michigan State to have thought about mel Tucker losing tens of millions of dollars for jerking off on the phone. Just the saddest way to lose that amount of money. It's the biggest bag fumble of our time. Eight in Chili's is gonna have to earn my eyeballs after Michigan State being involved in a story that ridiculous.

Yeah, go ahead, I would say, you know, it was interesting on this this list too that I'm personally not not very high on is Miller Moss at USC.

Yeah, go ahead, I would say, you know, it was interesting on this this list too that I'm personally not not very high on is Miller Moss at USC.

I think he's one of the ones that's uninteresting because I don't really believe in him either after that ball.

I think he's one of the ones that's uninteresting because I don't really believe in him either after that ball.

Yeah, And I know if you look, if you just look at the stats like oh, twenty three and thirty three three seventy two six touchdowns, like how can you do not be interested? It's gonna be a bad year for those teams in La Ucla. We talked about the other day USC as well. I think both teams will underwhelm uh this season.

Yeah, And I know if you look, if you just look at the stats like oh, twenty three and thirty three three seventy two six touchdowns, like how can you do not be interested? It's gonna be a bad year for those teams in La Ucla. We talked about the other day USC as well. I think both teams will underwhelm uh this season.

I love I love answer number two on Connolly's list because it's a guy I'd never heard of, And that's on me. I don't watch much ACC and when I do, it's the biggest teams generally. So I missed Kyrien Drones last year, Virginia Tech's quarterback, And you really got to kind of dive into numbers to see why this is interesting. Drones started began starting like the third game of the season, and from that moment on he finished nineteenth in the country in total total QBR. And if you look the first four games, which you only started two, they averaged twenty one and a half points per game. The next five games it's up to twenty five points a game, and then over the final four they averaged forty three points a game. They go down, They go five and two down the stretch with their toughest game on the schedule, and Virginia Tech has the most returning production in the country. Okay, and this comes at a time when Clemson's down. I don't know what Florida's state is, you know. I believe in the Florida State coaching staff. I hope that they were to be able to figure out and write the injustice of what they just went through. But like, yeah, the ACC has some open inroads to be made and returning that much production, including a quarterback Magan a Dump from year one to year two. That's the name I had not heard of. Therefore to me very interesting because he's potentially set up to have a massive impact next year. And then they got Jalen Daniels on here because why wouldn't you, Uh, it's just the health terms of Kansas. Yeah, if he can stay healthy. If you look over the last two years, he has the highest attorney QBR of any quarterback in the country, and that includes Carson Beck, Like you didn't have to play both years. Because QBR is an efficiency metric, we're not talking volume. Jalen Daniels actually barely edges out even Carson Beck, who was hyper efficient and again Big twelve, relatively open. Kansas just paid Lancelote pulled seven million a year. They're moving in the right direction. I yeah, I would I I I think that Uh, I think that he certainly deserves to be on this list. Captain Spartan with a twin dollars super chat. Uh tea, Bob, I need to know about Mason Smith. My team is looking at him. Uh and then Aaron he wants the best donut place in Atlanta. He's visiting in April. Uh debate better song, Luisa. Yeah, there's a lot of questions, a lot of money. Okay, Mason Smith massive potential. It was awesome. Preshman year caught his first major injury of his career and did not return the manner that you thought he would. The fly that. The thing that makes Mason Smith impossible to judge too accurately is he got He got really bad coaching this last year. El shust Line coach got sick right before the year. They just throw John Jansick in there. It does not go well. I mean they were doing inexplicable things like lining up like a yard and a half off the ball, you standing straight up, way too much hand fighting. So with Mason Smith, the problem is there's not gonna be any film there that's really going to excite you besides freshman film. But if you look at his body, that's fucking exciting. The man looks like a rock ogre. He's just massitude and he's athletic, and you know, hopefully with good coaching a year from injury, he can find that potential that he's so clearly has locked up inside him. Uh, He's he's a late pick. To me, take a take a take a flyer on. I would say, I don't think late pick. I feel like a mid round pick. There's not a lot of people that walk around looking like Mason Smith. That's true.

Maybe something I think I think it's a mid round I think that's a guy that you've you've you've seen what he does with the potential plus the size. Yeah, I think he's a mid round guy. You know, third, fourth round, you get a nice little you know, flyer on him. Uh donut spot in Atlanta, Five Daughter, Five Daughters Bakery, one hundred layered donuts, phenomenal.

Maybe something I think I think it's a mid round I think that's a guy that you've you've you've seen what he does with the potential plus the size. Yeah, I think he's a mid round guy. You know, third, fourth round, you get a nice little you know, flyer on him. Uh donut spot in Atlanta, Five Daughter, Five Daughters Bakery, one hundred layered donuts, phenomenal.

Go get Yeah, maybe my stomach rumbled. I've never even had one hundred layers? Is that just into a marching employee?

Go get Yeah, maybe my stomach rumbled. I've never even had one hundred layers? Is that just into a marching employee?

No, there's one hundred layers in there? What the fuck?

No, there's one hundred layers in there? What the fuck?

So like thread count, the more layers, the more delicious. That sounds great. Should Jerder Shanders be on this list?

So like thread count, the more layers, the more delicious. That sounds great. Should Jerder Shanders be on this list?

I mean there's I was going through as we were talking, like quarterbacks, Like, man, there's a lot of quarterbacks I could make a case for be on this club. Nick at Clemson is one that I kind of am intrigued years.

I mean there's I was going through as we were talking, like quarterbacks, Like, man, there's a lot of quarterbacks I could make a case for be on this club. Nick at Clemson is one that I kind of am intrigued years.

That class year.

That class year.

But I feel you, yeah, but like it's Clemson truly dead? Like is this it was? Was? Was? Are they truly done?

But I feel you, yeah, but like it's Clemson truly dead? Like is this it was? Was? Was? Are they truly done?

And you tell me if they're the one that told us all they were dead last year and then ended up being correct.

And you tell me if they're the one that told us all they were dead last year and then ended up being correct.

I still think they are dead. But maybe it gets better. No, because we know how good chadur is. Like I'm not gonna be surprised if Shadeer Sanders goes out there and throws thirty five touchdowns and you know has a good season, Like he's his first round talent, So I'm not like super intrigued by what he's gonna do. I know I've seen the potential.

Uh and yeah, look, Uh, Louisiana has better music than Georgia, and I love both states, and I love both states musical scenes. Grew up with Atlanta hip hop. But I mean, if you look at like the jazz upbringing of Louisiana, what do you.

Uh and yeah, look, Uh, Louisiana has better music than Georgia, and I love both states, and I love both states musical scenes. Grew up with Atlanta hip hop. But I mean, if you look at like the jazz upbringing of Louisiana, what do you.

Mean, Where's where's this going? Oh?

Mean, Where's where's this going? Oh?

He said, debate songs from Louisiana and Georgia. But I'm just saying the music scene in general is better in Louisiana. We have the hip hop, but you also have more of the history with like I said, the kind of origins of jazz in my opinion, And you have John Battist, the singer most single most talented artist on the planet right now, for.

Saying he just performed the super Bowl. It's kind of big deal. Tight.

Yeah, I guess where the super Bowl is next year, Aaron, I don't know New Orleans, so I'm guessing they're gonna have a Louisiana act performed there too. In fact that they were real men. They have John Battiste headline but I don't think they bought that life. He has to be involved though, Nico IAmA Liava gotta be up there, same thing. He's like Avery Johnson, just in a way bigger stage. All the hype in the world, Tennessee Savior. Tennessee literally put their balls on the line. They they they've taken the fight in a federal court.

Then got some sanctions put on him to get Nico.

Then got some sanctions put on him to get Nico.

To Knox Hill. And he's taking over a Tennessee program where it's all lined up. I mean, I know people kind of look their nose down at going from eleven wins to nine wins, but if you look at Tennessee the fifteen years previous, that's really good. Still like they're moving in the right direction overall, and it's a perfect time for them to take it for him to take over because the path of the playoff is wide open. And again, no Alabama. It matters for every team that had to play Alabama every years.

Me, no save it.

Me, no save it.

Caylen Moore is still awesome, don't lose sight of that. But it can't be as good. Yeah, bo Kenny Tvov's got jazz and litt boozie. It's all he needed so yeah, I would say Nico as well deserves to be on that list.

Yeah, yeah, and he deserves to be there. That's what I'm saying, Bitch, what about you? Anybody?

Yeah, yeah, and he deserves to be there. That's what I'm saying, Bitch, what about you? Anybody?

Anybody else? Anybody There's there's a million different quarterbacks that that could deserve to be on that list. I said, club Nick very interested with that, uh, dju Man Florida State. You know you talk about like now Forest State, You're not sure what Forest State is gonna be. You just had Jordan Travis have a hell of a career, hell helvi a season last year before the injury, undefeated season, all that good stuff. I mean, Dju, I was impressed with a lot of stuff he did last year there at Oregon State. Wasn't asked to do a ton very pro style offense, you know, throw the ball twenty twenty five times a game. Can he pick up and keep the momentum at Forest it has created over the past few seasons. A lot of eyes on that lot eyes is gonna be on that game first Clemson Jackson Dart's.

A good answer from Royal Payne as well, simply because like if ole Miss is going to be if ole Miss is going to follow through on the hype and make the playoffs and be a true national contender, It's all going to come down to dark. He's more proven than a lot of guys on here and so maybe less interesting in that way. But he's also going to be asking He's being asked to do things that ole Miss has never done, which, to be fair, he did he did last year, right, So he's been asked to continue that, which how long can you continue to I mean that's like, can you continue to do things that never been done? That seems like an absurd expectation. And yet here Jackson dart is, Oh, Dylan Gabriel's again, and.

Lewis I literally just had Dylan Gabriel pulled up on a on a different tab here because I believe Dylan will have a better year than Boat did. I think Dylan is. I think he's a better thrower. I think he's just as just as athletic. He will go down if he stays healthy as the most experienced quarterback in all of college football history, surpassing vote. He's not as big, like I said, when you want to check off everything that he does do well, I think I think he's just as accurate, just as good of a thrower, built for this offense. And I think it's gonna be the talent around him, which I think in Oregon's gonna have the talent around him. I think he's due for a big season this year.

Royal pays. What if Jackson Arnold's really good, you could play some four on the SEC. I just don't see it, And not not even because the bowl game. I think it was an impossible situation for him. I think Oklahoma is just a little behind, very slightly, and their schedule is brutal, and so I don't think it's gonna matter that much to the to the larger equation. And no, we're not answering Graham Mertz Bratt. We can't let we can't let Aaron go down a Graham Mertz rabbit hole.

Heay not Graham Mertz. But I think there's one more that I do want to hit on. And I don't even know if he's going to be the starter or or not the starter. Bumba going to Nebraska with their their rookie quarterback.

Mean, if you're not intrigued by We've set it for for for two years now, for nine two years, for a year now of gonna hit what Nebraska that Matt Roland year two. Look at the history from Temple to Baylor. Year two is Matt rule season? Like that is when he takes this massive striding like we don't care what happens to year one. Year two is our year. Well, guess what if you're a Nebraska fan, you're baking on year two to see that massive jump with a freshman quarterback, a true freshman quarterback. So have the expectations for Matt role year two going into the season with most likely an eighteen year old kid.
