By the way, odds.

By the way, odds.

To win the national title, we have co favorites to win the national title. Oregon and Texas are your co favorites this morning, followed by Georgia, Ohio State, and then Penn State. If I would have said to you in September, hey, Arizona State's going to be in. Clemson's going to be in SMU is going to be in Boise State's going to be in. Indiana's going to be in. You'd go wait basketball, no football because Clemson got roughed up early. Remember that Georgia roughed them up and then we moved on from Clemson. Well, all you have to do is win your conference. I mean, I don't know if Clemson's any good, but they won their conference, so they're in. SMU survived, and I say survived so they could get in because they scored seventeen points in the fourth quarter. If they do not score those seventeen, if they score seven, I don't think they're in the playoffs, and I will sit corrected. I didn't think the committee was going to leave Alabama out, and I'm not alone in that, but it was an interesting conversation they had to have with Alabama didn't get in. Why didn't they get in? They talk about strength to schedule. Well, when you get embarrassed, you got embarrassed against Vandy, you got embarrassed against Oklahoma.

Just win.

Just win.

That's what this is all about. Arizona State, I think was picked for last in the Big Twelve. They're good team. They roughed up Iowa State, Boise State gets a buye Indiana in at Notre Dame. But we're going to be talking about this, and I think we had to go through this process for one year. Now I think they're going to tweak what you have to do where the seedings are first round by this is where you just say, Okay, let's see how this plays out. Let's see where some of the sensitive points are that we can correct. And I still maintain if you're going to do twelve teams, you win your conference, you get in. But that doesn't mean that you get a first round by. Boise State, shouldn't get a first round by Arizona State, shouldn't get a first round by. I think it should be win your conference. Now we start to seed this. That's what happens with the basketball tournament. You're not guaranteed a number one seed because you win the ACC or the SEC.

And I think that's what they need to do.

And I think that's what they need to do.

Is Boise State, I'm glad they're in, Arizona State, I'm glad they're in. But then after that, I think you got to be fair to strength of schedule, and that's where I think that if you go with rankings, then I think you get a truer sense of how good teams are what they did during the course of a year. And if you had two losses, maybe three, what was your strength of schedule? This is what I worry about. And you already have athletic directors talking about this. Well, we're going to really look at you out of conference scheduling because there is there's no reason to do something out of conference and run the risk of losing. If you lose more than two games, you're not getting in or it's really going to be difficult. Clemson didn't play anybody. Clemson won the ACC that's all you.

Have to do.

Have to do.

Arizona State, just win your conference, Boise State when you're in. But then after that, I think you need to have reseeding or seating. I can't be giving these schools at first round by I don't think that's fair to the other conferences and the strength of schedule that they may have. You know, it's going to be tweaked, it's not perfect, and maybe eventually we get to.

The what are we doing? Why don't we just make this a pro model?

The what are we doing? Why don't we just make this a pro model?

And there's going to be a certain number of schools that are going to play, and there'll be schools maybe get relegated, whatever you want to do with it.

And there's going to be a certain number of schools that are going to play, and there'll be schools maybe get relegated, whatever you want to do with it.

We're heading that way. It's almost like when we had.

One versus two and then we said, how about two more teams?

One versus two and then we said, how about two more teams?

Is that a lot?

Is that a lot?

And then all of a sudden, you know, we had co National Champs a long long time ago. I mean, can you imagine if we had co National Champs now, hey, Georgia Tech and Colorado or co National Champs?

And then all of a sudden, you know, we had co National Champs a long long time ago. I mean, can you imagine if we had co National Champs now, hey, Georgia Tech and Colorado or co National Champs?

Huh? But we had that.

Huh? But we had that.

There's so much more attached to this, so many more people, so much more money attached to this. And that's why I think they'll get around to tweaking this a little bit more, and next year you'll probably have something along the lines of what I've been talking about. I have somebody who is close to the committee, and they have told me that this, of course is a topic of conversation whether it gets enacted next year, because I was told, hey, fourteen maybe next year, but probably going to be the following season where you'll have fourteen schools instead of twelve. Let's see how this plays out. It looks fun, it sounds fun. Would I have liked Alabama in South Bend? Yes, I would have. That would have been great. Tennessee. I love that against Ohio State. I mean, there's matchups where you go all right, like Clemson's in, you know, and you get Texas, but there's going It almost feels like Oregon would have been better off losing the Big Ten title game.

I get it.

I get it.

I didn't think that they treated Oregon fairly there. And Penn State they look pretty good. They look pretty good. That's the first time where I go, Okay, competitive, neutral field, and maybe they will be a tough out. But I think the first round by bothers people probably more than anything else involved in this because you're looking at Boise State in Arizona State and you're going, really yeah, but that's the system this year, all right?

He just he's different, like they're receivers that are fast. They're ones that are quick. He just is tough to bring down. That catchy at on the sideline was unbelievable. Yeah, it's almost when you watch and you're going and you know, Cooper Cup has been unbelievable. But Pooka Nakua, that's the guy. He's the guy, and you watch him and you go, he's not fast, He's just physical and all of a sudden, you know, you're pulling in twelve catches all of a sudden, you know. I mean, Buffalo was back and forth with this and they realized, hey, do we have any defense here, because that's what the Rams have offense. They have a whole lot of offense. But I loved what I saw with Josh Allen. I mean, when you throw for three and you run for three, that's never been done before and no sacks. Here is Sean McVay, the Rams coach, talking about the greatness of Josh Allen.

That's an excellent team. I mean, do you see Josh Allen is an alien. Some of the stuff that he can do and the things that he can create. We knew he was capable of that. He's shown that. It's why he is, you know, as well respected and regarded in this league as he is. It's all deserved and earned. But our guys found a way to just make enough plays to be able to come out on top.

Seaton was saying, Carolina, you gotta feel pretty good about that. Bryce, you looks comfortable. They almost knock off the Chiefs, They almost knocked off the Eagles, and it felt like they had a chance. And that's a win in my book, especially where they've been Dave.

Yes, Pauline, I'll throw in Rock Purty twenty of twenty five, three twenty five, two touchdowns, almost a perfect quarterback rating. They smoke the Bears. He's looking at a contract in this offseason.

I know there, I thought, maybe you do that Baker Mayfield kind of contract. Ye and the insiders I and Rappaport was saying, no, no, full boat, that they're looking at a full boat, full boat for rock Purdy. How about Sam Darnold? Sam Donald five touchdown passes. All he does is when I like how the Vikings, everybody's going. Vikings are geniuses. They got Sam Donald brilliant. Hey, they you're not getting credit for Sam Donald, you're not.

You drafted JJ McCarthy.

You drafted JJ McCarthy.

Kirk d Cousins got rid of him, and Sam Donald was going to be a backup. Now he's played well, But I don't know if I can go man that organization. They're two steps ahead of everybody else. I don't think you were planning on this. But Sam Donald, he's he's been great at times, he's been great. And Kirk d Cousins.

Thats not he's not.

Thats not he's not.

And you know I do like Kirk d Cousins, but this isn't personal when I say they should bench him. I would like to see Michael Pennix Junior, the third get a chance go in there. He can't be worse, it'd be almost impossible to be worse. And I would put him in there and maybe you see something and let's say he struggles. Okay, at least he got a taste this year to get ready for next year.

Now?

Now?

Sodo is twenty six. I think he's four years younger than Otani. And I know I'd sound like the old school guy. I would think for that amount of money, you got somebody that you were going to go out of your way. You're gonna want to watch them, You're gonna want to go see them.

If I'm a Mets fan, I don't care. Although you are going to pick up some of the tab here with Steve Cohen, he's not taken on all of this. I'm gonna guess ticket prices, concessions everything is going to go up a little bit. But if you're a Mets fan, you're like, yeah, we'll take him. Now I need some pitching. But you got one Sodo and he's a guy that you can plug in forty home runs, one hundred and twenty rvis and you know you'll play decent defense. You're not bringing you in for that. I mean, he's really one dimensionally, just a great hitter. But with Otani, I get the Unicorn. I get somebody who's going to be pitching next year, also hitting. We saw what he did when he went fifty to fifty, and I get an entire market. I get worldwide with him, certainly with the Japanese market, and I think they were averaging fifteen million people watching the World Series.

I get somebody and by all accounts, seems likable, presentable, and you're playing with the Dodgers. You're in Los Angeles. But Juan Soto, when's the last time you went juc Soto last night? And I don't know if that matters, but it does to me. If my owner is paying that kind of money, what are we getting? And I don't know what you're getting other than he's been on what three teams now this to be his fourth team. But he's got a fifteen year deal for seven hundred and sixty five million dollars and it's not deferred. He didn't do the Otani bargain stuff. Not Scott Morris. We'd like our money now, please, Okay, yes, Paul.

Can you make the case though that Steve Cohen, the Mets owner, is the perfect owner to have. He doesn't care about the finances. It appears he's spending his own money, almost maybe too much. Two years ago, remember he had that big lineup and it didn't work out, but he tried, but.

He said he wasn't going to do that again.

He said he wasn't going to do that again.

And then it felt like they went back to just being a regular baseball team. And then they played well this year, and then all of a sudden, it's like, we played really well, let's go back and start spending again. Billionaires don't have patience. And I'm sure he's like, well, I usually buy my way out of things. All right, here's a big ticket item and you got him one soda fifteen years. I may not be alive when this contract.

That's fifteen years. What could go wrong?

And then you have to go, well, how many how many World Series do they have to win? Well, they have to win one, just one. You win one, Mets fans will be like, all right, you know what, we can ride that one for a little while, and you take him away from the Yankees. I understand that part of the process as well. But you're still going against the Dodgers in the National League, and the Dodgers won't stop. They will continue to spend. Yes, Pauline, you can.

Almost make the case that even if Otani, let's say hypothetically, he doesn't pitch again, or doesn't pitch lot, his hitting is so it's improving as he gets to twenty nine thirty fifty four homers, three ten and all the steels like just as a hitter, he's a better hitter than Sodo.

Now he gets to pitch, even if he.

Now he gets to pitch, even if he.

Doesn't pitch well, or maybe he doesn't pitch after this year, maybe they decide to just make him a hitter. I'd rather have him as a hitter than I would want Soto as a hitter. And Otani also gives you fifty stolen bases. He's going to hit, you know, forty five home runs. But the Mets made the big splash. I don't think anybody's surprised here. I know that the Red Sox were involved. The Red Sox have some real good prospects, they're just not ready to win now. I thought that maybe the Giants or the Blue Jays would get involved in this, And a lot of times what happens with Scott Boris is you know, you're trying to drum up interest, and then sometimes you'll mention a team even though that team's probably not going to be in it. Dodgers, I don't know how competitive their offer was, but as I said, when this happened, he'd go to the highest bidder. That's exactly what happened. Alrighty, some phone calls here and let's do our one poll question, who had the best weekend? Any other names we want to put in because right now, Bryce Young, Sam Darnold, Yes, Paulie.

I got best of the weekend is a shout out to my group threat in the locker room going seven and not on spread Picks on Conference Championship Saturday. And then I did want to possibly biggest head scratching moment in college football this year. Wanted to hear your opinion on it. Charles Tough winning the Sunbell, going ten and three, being a member of the Nick Saving coach and Tree and then deciding to accept a job offer at Southern Miss, one of the lowliest programs in the country and one of the poorest athletic departments. Just want to hear you speculate a little bit on why he might have made that decision.

I don't know enough about it, will I don't. I'd love to be able to wax poetic on Southern Miss football and why somebody would want to go there, But I don't know. Barry and Santa fe oh look who look who picked up the phone to call and talk about his mets.

Say Barry, good morning fellow, Then good morning jack bro, and what a beautiful day it is. And that's how one so you know, and everybody else says whining and crying, and it's all of a sudden fiscally responsible and doesn't want to pay the money, and especially dopey Yankee fans who actually thought he would stay for the pinstripe pride and Yankee tradition.

A congratulations, Barry, Thanks thanks for thanks for calling in. Now go get a title. The fiscal responsibility like, I'm so past that. I'm just thinking, does it make sense for your team to get one guy at that price? Or could I get four or five guys that are really good or good instead? Because the last I looked, you're probably gonna need some pitching, Probably gonna need a little bit of pitching.

Yeah, I know that they're going, Hey, that's a smart franchise. Look at what they did. You know they got Sam Donold. Well, they weren't planning on playing Sam Donald, or if they did, it was going to be at the beginning of the year. Kevin O'Connell has done a wonderful job with Sam Darnald. I'm gonna give him a lot of credit and he deserves credit for that. They do have They have the best wide receiver in football, you start there, and Jordan Addison's pretty good as well. They are the fifth set of teammates in the Super Bowl era to have at least one hundred three already receiving yards and at least two touchdowns. So they got a good defense. And as long as Sam is not going to throwing interceptions, you have those receivers and Justin Jefferson makes it look easy.

He does.

He does.

First player in NFL history was seven thousand receiving yards in the first five seasons. He's twenty six years of age. So you do have a good team playing in a really tough division, and I think we begrudgingly give them credit.

I keep waiting, Like I like Sam Darnold from his USC days. He was always very good, you know, to the show and coming on. But you know, he disappeared, got kind of kicked to the curb. Backup quarterback, got his chance. Now here's the situation. JJ McCarthy will be back next year, we assume he'll be healthy. Does he get a chance to start? Do you bring Sam Donald back? He's a free agent, a true free agent. What is Sam Darnald going to cost you? Because you do need an insurance policy of knowing if JJ McCarthy can play. They took him too high in the draft to not play him. But can I say to Sam Darnald, how about a two year deal kind of like what the Packers did with Jordan Love, because he's going to probably say, I want to test the open market, and I don't know what that market is because what is Sam twenty seven? I mean, that's amazing. I've been around a long time. He's twenty seven and should be coming into the prime of his career. Can he have a Baker may Is he having a Baker Mayfield kind of resurgence? Would he take a Baker Mayfield type deal? Because you still have that rookie deal with JJ McCarthy, but you want to spread that money around to make sure that you're keeping players.

They took him too high in the draft to not play him. But can I say to Sam Darnald, how about a two year deal kind of like what the Packers did with Jordan Love, because he's going to probably say, I want to test the open market, and I don't know what that market is because what is Sam twenty seven? I mean, that's amazing. I've been around a long time. He's twenty seven and should be coming into the prime of his career. Can he have a Baker may Is he having a Baker Mayfield kind of resurgence? Would he take a Baker Mayfield type deal? Because you still have that rookie deal with JJ McCarthy, but you want to spread that money around to make sure that you're keeping players.

Yeah.

Yeah.

See, it almost feels like for another team to sign Sam Donald, it's like, okay, now do it again and then we'll sign you Vikings. I totally understand if they kept them, but for anybody else, if he's looking to go outside of that at a big deal, man, it feels like, all right, that was good, that was good. Let's see you do it again and then we'll give you a big money.

Yeah.

Yeah.

I just don't know what kind of contract you're going to give him that he would go because they already drafted the guy that they want to start. I don't think you can go. On second thought, we want Sam Donald to be our started. I mean you can, you definitely can. Yeah, yeah, I mean Jordan loves sat for a while, but I mean that's are ready to win now, team.

I don't know.

I'd have to say to Sam how badly do you want to stay?

I'd have to say to Sam how badly do you want to stay?

And I don't know that. Do you feel like handing the quarterback roll over to JJ McCarthy is like, and now we're ready to win?

And I don't know that. Do you feel like handing the quarterback roll over to JJ McCarthy is like, and now we're ready to win?

No?

No?

Probably not. That's kicking that down another two or three years. Yes, that you don't have that kind of time.

Probably not. That's kicking that down another two or three years. Yes, that you don't have that kind of time.

Yeah, I'm pulling it.

Yeah, I'm pulling it.

Feels like the Vikings went from a bad quarterback situation to start the season to a great one to an awkward one because if you make the playoffs with Sam Darnold, the pressure from the fan base to keep him. They have no loyalty to JAJ McCarthy. I think the pressure of ticket. Like you said, Baker Mayfield got three years for one hundred million, fifty million guaranteed that could be a win for the Vikings.

Good morning, mister Patrick. Hope and the boys had a great weekend. Hey, I congratulations to my newly found cousin Lonsto on that contract. Nothing like giving a career to eighty batter seven hundred and sixty five million. That's great news for the Mets fans. I'm proud of you, guys. Best of the weekend. I got my little football prayer's answered. Selfishly, the Steelers win and the Eagles win. Reason why I'm going for the Eagles is because I'm taking a little trip out east this week and I was able to get my hands on a few tickets to the Steelers Eagles game and I'm going to be in the house at Lincoln Financial on Sunday, And I mean, what better way I'm I'm selfishly gonna think that that's gonna be the game of the weekend as compared to the Bills and the Lions. Oh, I spend one of my first time at Lincoln Financial. Hopefully Eagles fans will not rid me limb from limb at that walk in with my terrible towel. So that's it.

The Monday before.

The Monday before.

Thanksgiving, you and Seaton were talking about Steven Wilson Junior. I had never heard of him. I looked him up was instantly hooked. I saw he was playing a show here in Louisville this past Friday night. On the resale value the tickets were in the hundreds of dollars. I still bought two from me and my brother. We show up, there's like kids in line and in the show. And then his family had driven down from Seymour and he had a cordon off section for him right up right by the stage, and he got a little emotional when he introduced a father's son.

It was amazing.

It was amazing.

Good.

Good.

Yeah, he's going to come by the studio and we're gonna talk to Steven Wilson Jr. I almost feel like I'd be doing a disservice to this audience to not introduce you to Steven Wilson Junior. I feel that strongly about him. When I told Satan about this song, it's called I Am a Song, Seatan said he played it five times in a row.
