BREAKING: Final College Football Playoff Bracket Reaction | Miami Jumps Notre Dame

The college football playoff is set. We

just got the final reveal and buddy is there a lot to talk about. David Con,

former Michigan quarterback. Bla Crane,

former Western State, Colorado wide receiver Jake Crane. Uh, appreciate you guys joining us. If if this is your first time you're not subscribed, we're almost at 200K. Make sure you check that out. We got instant reactions to games

out. We got instant reactions to games that happened last night, the Big 10 uh, shocker and then obviously Georgia dominating Alabama. But but I want to go

dominating Alabama. But but I want to go ahead and just read who is in the college football playoff, who they are playing, and and who got the buys, and and then we're just going to let this thing fly. All right, we're going to let

thing fly. All right, we're going to let it ride in the comments. We want to hear from you. Indiana's number one overall,

from you. Indiana's number one overall, they get a buy. Ohio State's number two overall, they get a buy. Georgia is

number three overall, they get a buy.

And Texas Tech is number four overall.

They get a buy. So who would Indiana play? The 89 matchup in Norman,

play? The 89 matchup in Norman, Oklahoma. Alabama goes on the road to

Oklahoma. Alabama goes on the road to play Oklahoma, a team in OU that has beat Alabama the last two times they have played. Winner plays Indiana. The

have played. Winner plays Indiana. The

winner of Texas A&M and Miami. That game

will be in College Station in&M will play Ohio State. The winner of Miss hosting Twain will play Georgia.

Remember Miss and Tlane have already played this year. Miss went on the road and and put up a hell of a fight against Georgia and they still have their one of their play callers in Charlie Weiss Jr.

uh coming back. Then finally, the winner of Oregon hosting James Madison will play Texas Tech in that next round. So

Oregon will be hosting JMU. And uh

David, I I'll start with you, but first I want to say this. I do I think we should have auto bids if I was doing it?

No. I think we should have 10 teams that automatically get in. I think we should have four teams that have to each play a playin game. Uh so it' be 14 that turns

playin game. Uh so it' be 14 that turns into that 12. Uh that's how I think we should go and nobody should get an automatic bid. But within the system

automatic bid. But within the system that we have, I feel like they did the right thing. I feel like they did the

right thing. I feel like they did the right thing. Bama should have been in.

right thing. Bama should have been in.

They should have been in. They should

not be penalized for playing an extra game. Miami should have been in if it

game. Miami should have been in if it came down to Miami and Notre Dame because they won head-to-head. If you

look, they have equal records. Uh

they're so unbelievably close in the metrics. I think they're 14 and 13 in

metrics. I think they're 14 and 13 in one and 44 and 45 in the other. The

difference being Miami beat Notre Dame earlier in the season. What say you I clap to the committee. I think they nailed it. I think they absolutely

nailed it. I think they absolutely nailed it. Yeah. Okay. I want to say a

nailed it. Yeah. Okay. I want to say a couple things right here uh off the bat because they always get lost here in the heated debates uh immediately following the committee's decision. one, we were about to have an awesome college

football playoff with some tremendous matchups. Okay? And that always gets

matchups. Okay? And that always gets lost and and I don't want it to because I can't wait for these games to start.

Two, and I've told you this for the last two years here, I have a lot less sympathy for you when you have multiple losses. Every team had an opportunity to

losses. Every team had an opportunity to win all of their football games. Indiana

did it. Oregon did it a year ago. Didn't

help them in the college football playoff. And the Buckeyes, a team that

playoff. And the Buckeyes, a team that wouldn't have made a 14 playoff, they did get in, what was it? Seven seed,

eight seed, and they went on to win the national championship. I have a lot less

national championship. I have a lot less sympathy when you've lost multiple games throughout the season. Um, and then, yeah, on the point, uh, you know, we always talk about, okay, the committee's job is to pick the 12 best teams. That's

actually not correct. And I've been thinking about it a lot this week. Their

job is to pick the seven best teams on top of the five automatic qualifiers that you already have. Can you bring the graphic back up one more time? because

I'm sitting here and I'm looking at Notre Dame, BYU, Vanderbilt, and really even Texas. That's a handful of teams

even Texas. That's a handful of teams that I would much rather see than James Madison. And all due respect, I come

Madison. And all due respect, I come from Statesboro, Georgia where Georgia Southern is a team in one of those conferences. I love these programs. I

conferences. I love these programs. I would rather see any one of those four teams or a couple other ones to be honest around the country than James Madison or Tain who already lost to Miss

45-10 and lost to UTSA by 22 points. I

understand that that's just the framework that they have to operate around. So, that's a discussion for a

around. So, that's a discussion for a different day. And we've been talking

different day. And we've been talking about the G5 automatic qualifi Well, they're not actually G5 automatic qualifiers as we just saw. They're just

conference champion uh automatic qualifiers, which I love rewarding teams for winning their conference. But the

problem is now that you let Alabama stay in the exact same spot, which we all said here at midnight last night that Alabama should be in the college football playoff, but then you remove BYU for losing their conference

championship game. You still open up a

championship game. You still open up a can of worms here.

>> Yeah. And Blaine, you know, if they would go to my model, if you actually would take 14 teams, have the 10 that are locked in, and then you have those last four teams, which would be two

games, obviously, you would end up having, if you just took the top 10 teams now, you would end up having Notre Dame playing Texas and Vandy playing BYU

to see who would be those last two teams. And the fact that that we give automatic bids is crazy in my opinion to start with, but now having two group of

five teams in there, I just don't I feel like this this should be more of a wakeup call to not give anyone an automatic bid and to take the the top 14 teams that then turn into the top 12.

But that's just what I >> Yeah, it's funny to me that I mean we sit here and argue about Miami, Notre Dame, and Alabama while we're going to sit there and watch Two Lane and James Madison get to the the 12 team playoff.

I mean, obviously that's a conversation for another day. But I will say this with what we have right now and what we now know.

>> I mean, I thought the committee did pretty about as good as they can. Notre

Dame join a conference. I've sat on here for six years and said, "You need to join a conference. You quit trying to be the main character in everything you do.

I think now you see that not being in the conference somewhat hurt Notre Dame and it came down to what? Head to head.

The committee had to take Miami. Alabama

was always in it. All right. They're

always in it. I'm interested to see the reason on why they kept BYU out. Is

Alabama staying in it because they went on to Athens and beat Georgia. Probably

the best win in the country, but they also have the best what the I mean the worst what loss in the country. We lose

to a terrible team at Florida State. And

you look at BYU and say, "Well, you know, you played Utah. That was the only ranked team. You beat them, but you lost

ranked team. You beat them, but you lost to Texas Tech twice in terrible fashion." So, that's the reasoning I

fashion." So, that's the reasoning I want to I want to know why they kept BYU out in Alabama in >> putting putting the only reason James Madison is in and BYU is not is because you have to take the top five conference

champion. Like, you're to Con's point,

champion. Like, you're to Con's point, you're really picking seven.

>> You're not picking seven.

>> It's seven. So, like what you can't rewrite the rules now. BYU is a victim of our system sucking to be honest or having a major flaw in it. Like an

absolute major flaw in it that that prevents us from getting the 12 actual quote unquote best teams or giving us the best chance of of being around the

best 12 teams. I I just I I think it's crazy the way that we do it. But when

you when you and again, if you're a BYU fan, I think you have a right to be pissed, but we all knew you weren't getting in. Like, and Con, you made a

getting in. Like, and Con, you made a point. You made a point yesterday that

point. You made a point yesterday that that I thought was so so perfect. I

believe it was in our Big 10 championship kind of reaction that you can sit here and say, "Oh, well, yeah, it's not fair that so- and so has to play in a conference championship game.

It is an extra data point, but don't count it." It's like during a trial when

count it." It's like during a trial when a lawyer says something or something is said that they tell the jury, "Hey, strike that. Forget they said it." They

strike that. Forget they said it." They

may tell you that, but you can't forget that they said it. But it seems like the committee uh actually decided to not listen not listen to whatever was said.

They treated if you played in your conference championship game and and and had to play that extra game. I mean,

Ohio State went down one. Bama didn't

move at all. Like, so obviously they're rewarding when that happened. And I

looked at my wife and said, "Alabama's in." If the Buckeyes lost, and I know it

in." If the Buckeyes lost, and I know it was much closer, but if you didn't even go to three and get jumped by the SEC champion, Georgia or four like we thought maybe last night, I knew Alabama's in, at least on the BYU side.

And and BYU fans, I love that this show has a lot of BYU fans. So, y'all come in here, this is a cathartic experience for everyone. I will at least say this. You

everyone. I will at least say this. You

got two cracks at the best team in your league. You lost both those games by a

league. You lost both those games by a combined 63-4, right? So, you had your shots and what

right? So, you had your shots and what an awesome year with a true freshman quarterback who had to step in because the quarterback who was there couldn't go to school there anymore because you stood on principle and you stood on your

ethics. I love BYU. I'll keep saying it

ethics. I love BYU. I'll keep saying it every week. You're not going to be in

every week. You're not going to be in the college football playoff this year.

I'm sorry. We got to move on. At the on the Notre Dame Miami conversation, I understand not. And I told you guys the

understand not. And I told you guys the second that Notre Dame and Alabama flipped, I put a futures bet on Miami to make it cuz I just thought at the end of the day at plus 400 odds, the committee had been saying, "Well, they're not

close enough to consider the head-to-head." Well, when BYU lost,

head-to-head." Well, when BYU lost, they're right next to each other. And

with the ACC champ not getting in, I think that was sort of a consolation prize as well, putting uh putting Miami in. But here's the thing, that wouldn't

in. But here's the thing, that wouldn't even be a topic of conversation today if this was the only ranking the committee came out with because the committee came out with rankings every Tuesday night

for the past five weeks that happened to start right after Miami lost a couple games. That's the only reason that this

games. That's the only reason that this is even controversial. If this was the only ranking that came out, you wouldn't even consider Notre Dame being ahead of Miami after losing in week one. Well,

and and Blaine, you know, I said this after what they did to Florida State, and I'm going to say this again after what happened today with Notre Dame, but

there's like a caveat to it. Why

wouldn't you just go ahead and make this change last week knowing that Miami and Notre Dame didn't play another game? Why would you not have moved Miami ahead of Notre Dame?

>> Just like you waited till the last moment to see Florida State was >> drama. We're trying to It's a TV show.

>> drama. We're trying to It's a TV show.

That's the caveat. They are trying.

That's why I'm sitting here saying unless it is just so blatantly obvious what is supposed to happen in the end.

They are not going they there's going to be a surprise. They they can't do this whole movie without might shyoning you at the end with something like or it

would be it would still do well. People

would still watch it. But again, it is a business. It is a TV show. And once

business. It is a TV show. And once

again, they wait till the last minute to find out >> Bruce Willis has been dead the whole time.

>> Yeah, >> he's a ghost. I I just It's It's funny.

No, it's not right. But you knew smart.

>> It's smart. I'm not saying it's right.

>> I didn't know. I didn't know. Um but

again, I just I had a hunch that like that I think you would have done longer term damage to the sport if you did not honor the head-to-head victory for Miami over Notre Dame. And I say that as someone I'm not a Notre Dame fan or a

Miami fan. I have no dog in the fight

Miami fan. I have no dog in the fight and quite honestly I personally think Notre Dame could have done more damage in this playoff and I would love to see them in one of these matchups right now.

I do love the fact that we're going to see the two teams that beat Notre Dame play each other in the first round of the playoffs. So if you could bring that

the playoffs. So if you could bring that bracket back up one more time there. Um

to be honest that that's really the the the first round game that I'm most excited about. And this gets me to

excited about. And this gets me to another point that Jake you and I have talked about before. the ability to move teams one spot up or down when it doesn't affect you being in or out and

it doesn't affect whether you get a buy or host. Right. The example here is

or host. Right. The example here is Texas A&M and Miss I personally think Texas A&M should be ahead of Miss with the one loss being on the road uh at Texas. Obviously miss fans say well you

Texas. Obviously miss fans say well you know our one loss is on the road at Georgia that's a even a better loss. I

think Texas&M is a better football team, but this is where I would love the committee to at least be able to say, "Okay, it doesn't matter in terms of them making the playoff or not." Both

teams are going to be able to host. We

don't want to see Miss and two lane play again. That was 45 to10 during the

again. That was 45 to10 during the regular season. Why don't we let Texas&M

regular season. Why don't we let Texas&M play two lane and give Miss a chance to play Miami in a new and fresh matchup?

>> Yeah, that surprised me too because let's be honest, you would rather play two lane than Miami. like 100% you would rather play two lane than Miami. Uh and

the discrepancy that you brought up the 45 to 10 that game was even close earlier in the season and it's going to be played I believe that game was played in Oxford. It may have been played in

in Oxford. It may have been played in two lane actually. Now I'm thinking off top it was played uh it was played in Oxford.

>> It was played in Oxford. All right. I So

to the Notre Dame fans, number one, I understand that you're mad. I I 100% get it. Fan is short for fanatical. fan is

it. Fan is short for fanatical. fan is

it. You don't think outside of the narrative that fits you and that's how it should be. That's passion. But I just want the Notre Dame fans, think if the roles were reversed here. Think if Miami

was in your shoes and y'all beat Miami head straight up head-to-head even records. If the roles were flipped, you

records. If the roles were flipped, you would be screaming, "We won the headtohead we should be in." And it's hard to sit here and look at the greater good, Blaine, if you're a Notre Dame fan. But I think by going with the

fan. But I think by going with the head-to-head, it it is within the greater good of the sport. Another thing

that just made me laugh hysterically, and I put this on social media when they put this one graphic up, Blaine, that says talking about the principles that

that they look at uh when when it comes down to figuring this stuff out, how it says strength of schedule, then head-to-head competition, then my favorite, and David, listen to this.

comparative outcomes of common opponents, but in parenthesis without incentivizing margin of victory, >> which I think is the right thing to include.

>> But like, isn't that the whole point?

They're like, well, this team, they play the same team, they beat them worse, so therefore you're incentivizing me to beat people to death.

>> Yeah.

>> Like I just love how they're trying to will that into existence. Like somehow

the coach will be during like the halfway through the third quarter blowout like look guys remember in the parenthesis they're not incentivizing this. We need to be great sports. No,

this. We need to be great sports. No,

I'm trying to score 100.

>> Yeah, that was another thing with Miami and Notre Dame too. Miami said hey wait we we actually performed better against three out of the four common opponents that we had. But again, even that wouldn't have trumped the head-to-head

in my opinion. And because some people will be be watching this episode who didn't watch our Alabama recap yesterday, maybe we could just hit a couple of the talking points uh there.

Uh a few of the things that I said to you guys is one, not only did you lose to an opponent that you beat earlier in the season, I think that matters a lot.

if we didn't get to see Alabama and Georgia in the regular season. Not that

I think the committee was going to punish the SEC champion loser anyway because of the ramifications that that would have moving forward, but I do think that it would have been a little bit different had they had they lost to

a new team and not someone they went on the road and beat earlier in the season.

And then the second point is uh when you talk about point differential and everyone on social media was like, well, if they lost 45 to nothing, then maybe.

But again, the goal is to win a football game. not to lose by fewer points. So,

game. not to lose by fewer points. So,

for instance, Kaylin Dbor could have punted the ball inside of his own 20 in the fourth quarter rather than go for it to try and win. And Georgia wouldn't have gotten that easy touchdown late and you lose by fewer points. But what good does that do? He's trying to win the

football game.

>> Well, well, I you know, to that point though, they did only that precedent that you you talked about earlier, which is right. They only dropped Ohio State

is right. They only dropped Ohio State one spot and they didn't play Indiana during the regular season. Like, I just think they value the confer the conference championship game. They're

like, "All right, well, you know, it's it's an extra game against a really tough opponent." And I, as I've said, I

tough opponent." And I, as I've said, I feel like in in most ways, it should only be able to help you unless you're in a situation like Clemson last year where you have to literally win to get in or like James Madison where you have

to win to get in or two lane where you have to win to get in. Uh, you know, I I would rather them be consistent with it.

But I I just, you know, Blaine, it doesn't matter who you're a fan of.

All right. You want great quality meat during the holiday season, right?

>> That's true. That's fact.

Let's get back to the table. Uh but

Blaine, >> what >> which matchup now that we know and we're going to have previews out there and this that or the other which matchup in the first round is just just matchup just tickling your you know what right

now.

>> You know which matchup. It has to be Texas A&M Miami.

>> Yes, >> it has to be Texas A&M Miami. I I I I pay and look I mean shout out game time guy I just don't understand right now Oregon's going to kill J JMU good story

miss is going to take care of two lane the Alabama Oklahoma game I mean it's probably going to be 10 to7 >> under under I love a free win >> but this Texas A&M Miami game Marcel

Reed versus this front seven of Miami I mean Carson Beck just the crazy I mean you have three SEC home games

in the first round at home, Oklahoma at home, and Old Miss all going to be played at SEC fields, which is going to be insane. But right now, the best

be insane. But right now, the best matchup we're probably going to get is Texas A&M Miami.

>> Well, I mean, Con is that the one we like know the least what's going to happen. Like that's the to Blaine's

happen. Like that's the to Blaine's point. Like even Oklahoma Alabama,

point. Like even Oklahoma Alabama, >> you kind of get a feeling how that game's going to go. two of the four we've already seen, you know, like again getting back to my point like again and and look, you know, because Oklahoma

went on the road to Tuscaloosa, Tuscaloosa and beat Alabama. Now

Alabama's going to go have to go to Norman in the college football playoff.

I get it. It's interesting. It's going

to be a lot of fun. But as a rematch, it's just not as intriguing to me. I

would much rather see Alabama and Texas A&M because that's a matchup we didn't see during the regular season. Or again,

Miami and Miss like how many points are getting scored in that game? But again,

I I I do respect the fact that the committee is just ranking them and letting the matchups fall where they may rather than trying to tinker with the matchups. Even though I would I'd like

matchups. Even though I would I'd like to know if we get like 40 people in a room to talk about college football, they could do both to get the best matchups. But either way, that's the one

matchups. But either way, that's the one that's the most exciting. And um yeah, I can't wait for that one.

>> Uh I you know, another thing with&m too, like I'm going to be honest, we having to go Miami then Ohio State, that's tough. I mean, Blaine, when you look at

tough. I mean, Blaine, when you look at at the other teams in the first round, I'm not talking about the top four. Who

do you think got the best break when it comes to path because I think Oregon, and I'm not trying to respect Texas Tech at all, but the fact that you get James Madison, the 12, and look, you're the five seed. You're the first one out of

five seed. You're the first one out of the buy, so I I don't mind it. You're

going to host James Madison, which, you know, we'll wait to see the spread on that one, but you got to feel pretty good. And then out of the top four

good. And then out of the top four teams, and listen, there's not an easy team in this. I'm not trying to sit here and clown on anybody. Texas Tech is damn good on defense. Um, you know, we we'll

talk about Baron Morton, but God, I would much rather have Texas Tech than Indiana, Ohio State, and Georgia. That's

the damn >> Morton's got the best path. But I will say this, >> if you're Old Miss >> Yeah.

>> Right.

>> Yeah.

>> I mean, you're better than two lane.

You're obviously going to win that football game.

>> Georgia looks like a completely different team. But I do remember,

different team. But I do remember, right? Old Miss, where did they lose

right? Old Miss, where did they lose that game? Like 45 to Dude, they were

that game? Like 45 to Dude, they were they scored like on every drive until halfway through the third quart, >> right? So, you can play with Georgia.

>> right? So, you can play with Georgia.

And I'm interested to see if you're Ohio State. Who would you rather play? Miami

State. Who would you rather play? Miami

or Texas?

>> Miami 100%.

>> Really?

>> Oh, I don't want to have to just watch Marcel Reed run around like just because that that creates a problem. I know

where Carson Beck's going to be. I know

where he's going to stand for most of that game.

>> If you're Indiana, I mean, who would you rather want, Oklahoma or Alabama?

Here's the question with that. Here's

the question with that. If you're an Indiana fan right now, we know Oklahoma's been deficient on offense, right? Alabama's offense hasn't been

right? Alabama's offense hasn't been good lately, but it's been better than Oklahoma's, right? But on defense,

Oklahoma's, right? But on defense, Oklahoma's defense and Alabama's defense are both good, but Oklahoma's to me is like elite. So,

like elite. So, >> Indiana's just the per like just balanced, right? They're pretty

balanced, right? They're pretty balanced. I I they're really good on in

balanced. I I they're really good on in all three phases. So, to me, I would rather play the team that has the most deficient side of the ball. And right

now, I think that's Oklahoma's offense.

>> You're not going to see a better defense than you just saw. Like, you're just not. Uh, but to me, I'd rather play

not. Uh, but to me, I'd rather play Oklahoma.

>> Yeah, I agree with that.

>> What do you think, Blaine?

>> God, I just don't want to play against Brent Venibals in the playoffs. Maybe

that's just me. Um, it's just Alabama's so deficient in the run game. They're so

bad. It's so bad. And sooner or later like you would maybe not but John Matir like you would think he'd figure it out sooner or later >> for a game right you know >> like just for a single game but going

I'm I'm going to ask all this if you're Notre Dame now do you join a conference?

>> It's never going to happen.

>> No, I don't think it's I don't think it's one year is worth it to them. like

the odds of this happening if it happened like two out of the last three years I think you may see some inkling but I don't think one I mean guys the last two years the last team out was a

huge brand last year it was Bama this year it was not like they're saying look I I don't want to hear anything else about any oh this

team's so oppressed and this when they're letting James Madison in two lane in the playoff over Notre Dame I don't want to hear anything else from anybody about this oppressor oppressed in college football with the G5 ever

again. Ever again. I never want to hear

again. Ever again. I never want to hear it. Never want to hear it. Um

it. Never want to hear it. Um

>> I tweeted today like like can the committee just consider Notre Dame the the champion of their independent conference and they just they just won the independent conference.

>> I mean what is that said this like it's just they're just the I mean I'm looking at the Pack 12 with two teams in it. Can

Notre Dame just like the >> They should play the winner. Yeah, they

should play the winner of the pack 12 >> just to meet the technical uh criteria.

But um we kind of said this when this whole thing started, remember? It was

like all the Power Four conferences and the and the group of five, group of six conferences plus Notre Dame. That was

always the language of it. And we said, well, they're kind of going to have I mean, if they go undefeated, they're for sure. And 11-1, it'll be circumstantial

sure. And 11-1, it'll be circumstantial based off the field, but 10-2, they're going to have a harder time getting in.

In the last two years, we've seen that.

11-1 last year with the worst loss you could possibly have to Northern Illinois. Not only did they make it in,

Illinois. Not only did they make it in, they make it in easily. They host a playoff game. They go all the way to the

playoff game. They go all the way to the national championship game. Everything

makes sense. And even after that game, we said, "Well, there's no way you can make the playoff after losing to Northern Illinois." But that was the

Northern Illinois." But that was the only loss they had. They made the playoff, made the natty. This year,

10-2, it got a little hairy. I think

Notre Dame makes it over Miami if they don't have that head-to-head loss. If

you didn't have a head-to-head game to compare them towards the end of the year with how hot Notre Dame's been, and they were both 10 and two, Notre Dame would get in, but they just couldn't ignore that head-to-head loss.

>> Well, and again, this is why I think BYU have fans have the biggest gripe in reality. Like, y'all let Notre Dame in

reality. Like, y'all let Notre Dame in last year, and their one loss was to Northern Illinois at home. BYU's one

loss was to Texas Tech on the road, then they had to play Texas Tech again.
