Hello, hello, hello, hello. How you going? How are you doing? What did you do? Baby, you know that bank will be by now, right? You know that as the intro of the sound, the theme, the song of the college football function. You know the voice by now, right? It is CM Funk, AKA Cousin Mike, AKA Mr. Perfect, AKA Mrs. Thea grandma, AKA the host, then knows the most about that college football, then NC double a action. Here's another banger of an episode for you guys. It is week seven as the calendar starts getting into October. It's put up or shut up time. It's shut up Saturday, shut up, weekend, call it whatever you want. Conference season is upon us. You're going to see some non-conference games here and there just to talk about it a little bit. Missouri just lost to Texas A&M last week and they get to go to UMass to play the minute men. Then here in a couple of weeks, you'll have an SEC team host, Georgia Southern, or you know, some Joe Blo State tech, you know, team, so on and so forth. This is a great one guys. I'm not going to lie to you. I'm not going to sugarcoat it. I think if you've listened to Cousin Mike for a while now, I think you kind of get the gist that I'm not a big bullshitter. I'm a big person that's very honest, very blunt. At times, I kind of don't have a filter. Like I've said before, it's gotten me into trouble many, many, many times in my day, but it has, you know, it has its benefits to when it comes to, you know, making friends and women and talking in public and, you know, stuff like that. It's a gift and a curse, I should say, you know, but with this whole podcasting thing, I feel more and more comfortable every single week. I'm excited. I'm super excited. I am actually up. It is October the 9th. You know, it's a Wednesday. I'm recording a little after three o'clock in the morning right now, and I'm not even lying. You know, I don't have to go to work for a little while, and I just couldn't sleep. Usually, I do the review show. I usually try to get it done on a Sunday afternoon, maybe a Monday morning, and then start the next week's, you know, preview show, start writing down stuff, writing down games. Now, I probably would have had this show a little bit out a little bit earlier, at least in Mike's fans the last couple of days, but noticing with Hurricane, I want to say it's Helene or an M. I can't read Milton. I want to say it's Milton now. Some scheduling kind of got messed up. People were, they were waiting to, you know, see what time they were going to play, if they were going to be on TV and stuff. So I didn't quite get to dig into some of these matchups just because they're that it's uncertainty, you know, and prayers go out to everybody that's been affected. You know, it's the, you know, southern eastern part of the country here in the United States of America. It's been tearing up some stuff, man. And that's just to put it lightly. And it sucks. It really does with natural disasters. It's nothing you can do. It's nothing you can change. It's nothing you can rearrange. It's just something that you just kind of have to do with hope and pray for the best and, you know, put your lives and your families and your job and, you know, everything in God's hands because there's nothing you can do about it. You can have all the sandbags in the world. You can have your house built on stilts and 12 feet of concrete and Mother Nature does not care. So if you're out there in the Carolinas or the Georges in the Florida's anywhere that's been affected or, you know, is going to be affected in the near future, college football is is not even on your mind right now. You're worried about, you know, food and shelter and, you know, bearing down the hatches, so to speak. And just getting ready for something that is, you know, like I said, completely out of your control. So my thoughts and prayers go out to you guys for sure. So if you're out there, just know that there's people that care, you know, and then there's people that are rooting for you and hope that, you know, it passes and it's not devastating. Hopefully they say it's going to be, you know, a horrible hurricane, one of the worst ones they've seen in a long time. And they let's just hope they're wrong. You know, that's the only thing you can kind of hope for. So my thoughts and prayers go out to you guys that's been affected and going to be infected and just, you know, just try to be optimistic. I know it's hard. But just know that with with him, you know, with the king, with Christ and God that you'll be okay. And and brighter days are coming. So big shout out to you guys. But, you know, not to dampen the spirit, not to, you know, kind of point the attention away. But I just thought I'd get that out there and get that off my chest. Something that's definitely been near and dear to my heart for the last, you know, week or two. But, you know, for brighter days, we are here. It is week seven. Like I said, you know, we're getting into October conference season has been kicking off. You kind of know who you are, you know, where you're going. You know, if you're a bad team, you know, that you're you got to win a few games here in the next three or four weeks to maybe get bowl eligible, so on and so forth. But once it starts getting into October in the middle weeks of October, you're going to see more rivalry games, more conference, you know, match ups that are actually really relevant. So in this one is no exception. I got 15 games for you guys. It could have been more. But I had to turn the fat, like I said before, I don't want to throw so many games at Chi Funky's, because it's it's hard for me for one. And I don't want it to be overwhelming for you. I know that's a big problem for some people who aren't the biggest fans of college football, just because it's just so so much of it. And it's the match ups vary. And it's so many different times and channels and so much going on. But I want to, you know, not necessarily dumb it down because I feel football fans in general are very educated. I just don't want to overwhelm you and I don't want to overwhelm myself. So 15 match ups for you guys. It's a just an amazing, amazing week of games. It starts tomorrow the 10th. This is a seven o'clock kick. I do not say what it went channel my dumb ass as well, my fault. But this is Coastal Carolina for N1 heading to JMU, you know, my dukes who come in for N1 as well. JMU is favored by nine and a half. Over under on this one is 61 and a half. You know, JMU had just a hard fought, you know, battle last week and trying to find it right here on my paper. Could have swore. Yeah, they played Louisiana Monroe last week and just had a just a real head scratching loss, you know, with only 19 points. You know, JMU was one of those teams that was just hanging up points on everybody, you know, started the downfall of North Carolina, the Tar Hills and Mac Brown a few weeks ago and then scored 63 the week after and then go against a tough Louisiana Monroe team it looks like and only hung up 19. So especially with me predicting JMU to make the college football playoff, they have to win this game. And when I was going through, you know, JMU schedule in the off season, going through all those little conferences, I put this game on JMU's, you know, tough game alert. Coastal Carolina has got the same record as JMU. I see that Chanta clears as a potential Sun Belt, you know, representative, maybe not necessarily getting into the college football playoff, you know, that's a race that is being led and run away with right now for Boise State. And if Boise State doesn't lose a game and, you know, wins their conference, you know, they're going to go to the college football playoff and teams like conference in the conference USA and the Mac.

Listen to this message from Ted Delacath, former Army infantryman and Ranger qualified platoon leader active in the Army Reserves. When I enlist in the Army, I swore an oath to this country, not any political party. That's why I'm interested in citizens ballot measures around the country to reduce the power of political parties. Colorado votes on 1-2. Right now, election rules allow political insiders to hand-pick party nominees. It's the reason we're usually stuck voting for the lesser of two evils. Colorado's plan creates an open primary where all candidates appear on one primary ballot. Every voter has the freedom to vote for any candidate, no matter which party. The Colorado plan advances four candidates to the general election, not two. That means more choices for voters in the primary and general election. Get the facts. Elections belong to the voters, not political parties. Paid for by veterans for all voters, Anthony Haas registered agent. The use of military rank and job titles does not imply endorsement by the Department of the Army or the Department of Defense of this ballot measure. Sunbelt, they have an uphill battle and you can't lose. So, this is definitely a must win game for both teams if they want to be taken respectively. In their conference, you know, these are three, two teams in Coastal Carolina and JMU that are up there in their rankings right now. That Louisiana Monroe lost to JMU. Hurt them a little bit. But you can lose one in your conference and still contend. So, this is definitely a must win game for JMU. Sorry, I don't have the channel, but it's coming on tomorrow. That is the 10th of October and the over under on this one is 61 and a half. So, they're thinking JMU playing at home. Their offense should get back to clicking and hopefully JMU does. So, that is the first game I got for you guys. It starts your Saturday slate, which is the 11th. This is a 930 kick on ESPN. I do believe this is a Friday night and like I said on ESPN, this is a big 12 battle. This features the 16th ranked team in the country. Sorry, the Utah Utes coming in four and one heading down to Tempe, Arizona to play the Arizona State Sun Devils come in with the same identical record at four and one. Utah is favored by six and a half over under on this one is 45 and a half, not expecting a whole lot of points. Utah and Arizona State, I do believe, had a buy last week. So, given both of these teams, had two weeks to prepare for each other. I think that 45 and a half comes into effect. You're not going to see as many huge plays and coverage breakdowns and just head scratching, defensive assignments, so on and so forth. But Utah is coming off a hard-fought upset loss to Arizona two weeks ago and Arizona State has been very appeasing. They've been very surprising in the big 12. This is definitely a team that a lot of people were expecting to finish in the bottom half of the big 12 going into this preseason stuff back in June, July. It's a big prove it game for Utah. I mean 16th ranked team in the country, they're up there. They have to bounce back. Both these teams have a conference loss and you don't want to go 0 and 2 in your conference season to start your first part of your big 12 season, especially two new teams in the big 12. See, in Arizona State, I already lost to Texas Tech. Utah, like I said, they're losing to Arizona a few weeks ago. This ought to be a good knockout drag-out fight. Like I said, Friday night, ESPN 930. You're at the bar or you're at a party or get together or you're just at home. You're like, "Man, I ain't nothing on TV. There ain't nothing to do. I don't want to go to the movies. I don't want to go bowling. I don't want to go skating." Put on that too, man. Put it on ESPN 930. That is the 16th ranked Utah Ute's heading to a hard place to play, by the way, in Arizona State in a big 12-till. All right, let's start the Saturday slate, shall we? That, of course, is the 12th. This is a game that is on CW, by the way. This is an 11 AM kick. This is a ACC battle. This features the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets. Heading to North Carolina to play the 3 and 3 Tar Heels. Now, you're probably saying, "See, Em, that's not a real big match-up. I think this could be the nail in the coffin for North Carolina. I think this would give them their third straight loss if I'm not guessing. I mean, I could be wrong. Georgia Tech, let's see here real quick, knocked off an undefeated Duke last week. That came in 5 and 0. Georgia Tech's on the road, though. We've seen North Carolina not quite play very well at home. The last time I checked in on them, and that was, of course, when JMU came to town, hung up 70 on them. Georgia Tech's favored. I think that is right, just by five and a half, so it's not quite a touchdown. Over on this one's 58 and a half, you know, expecting a little bit of points. I just see, you know, North Carolina's defense being very leaky. And a Georgia Tech, a sneaky Georgia Tech team that, like I said, knocked off Duke last week. You know, and this is when you want to start getting rolling. You know, yeah, you could have lost a game, you know, a couple of weeks ago, but your season's technically not over yet, even for North Carolina. I'm potential, I'm taking them out of the ACC Championship race. You know, that is a race that the hurricanes and, of course, the clims and tigers are kind of running away with right now. SMU is a close second or third, but you're playing for pride right now if you're North Carolina, you're playing for your coach right now. If you love Mike Brown, if you want him to continue to stay around, you got to start performing because North Carolina is one of those schools that...

You know, you get on a skid and you lose in the teams you not necessarily should lose to. You get fired and it happens every year. So that could be, you know, Mac Brown's last game coaching period because I see him being probably in his 70s, maybe even early 80s. If he does get fired, I think that would be his swan song. I think it would be time for him to hang it up. You know, he just doesn't quite have it anymore. I mean, Nick Saban walked out probably a year or two probably before he should. But you don't want to go out with, you know, some clouds over your head. So North Carolina's got a lot to prove. This one is a CW kickoff. The channel on 11 a.m. is Georgia Tech at North Carolina in a ACC battle. Another 11 a.m. kick. This one's on Fox. This is a big 10 battle. This features the Washington Huskies four and two, you know, fresh, often upset of, you know, Michigan, a huge revenge game, you know, the national championship rematch going to Iowa to play the three and two hot guys. Iowa's favored by two and a half over under on this one's 42 and a half. Yeah, Washington's coming in hot. Iowa just kind of got devastated. I would probably say, I want to say that was a, hold on one second. I have it written down right here. Yeah, 35 to seven, you know, at the hands of, you know, at the one of the best teams in the country right now, the Ohio State Buckeyes, you know, you lick your wounds, you know, you learn, you know, from that, that tape, you get better, you're playing at home. Historically, Iowa is a great place to play. They have a great home field advantage. Kinek Stadium is up there with a lot of big 10 stadiums that a lot of places and teams, they don't like to show up to to play there. So definitely going to be an interesting game. You know, Washington's real introduction to big 10 football playing in the Kinek Stadium and them. If you want to watch the Kinek Wave at the end of the first quarter, you can change it after that for all I care. Just watch the Kinek Wave set it before and I'll say it again. It's one of the best college football traditions. That's one of the great things about college football traditions. You know, at the end of the first quarter, there is a children's hospital that overlooks Kinek Stadium and it's mostly cancer patients, you know, for kids, it's something near and dear to my heart and they just, everybody turns around and they wave at those kids up there fighting cancer. So please tune into that one as an 11am kick on Fox that is the Washington Huskies heading to Iowa to play the Hawkeyes. We got another 11-8 in kick. This is a Mac battle by the way on ESPNU. This is my Toledo Rockets coming in four and one heading to Buffalo to play the Bulls who come in three and two. Toledo is nine and a half point favorites. Over under on this one is 44 and a half very low predicting score. Just this has got the JMU, you know, Coastal Carolina vibes, you know, Buffalo. Had a pretty good win a few weeks ago, knocked off that ranked NIU team, you know, fresh off that upset of Notre Dame a few weeks ago and, you know, kind of stumbled lately. But, you know, there's still in the talks of Mac Championship and you got to win these games and this is a real big show me game for the Mac and Toledo is kind of in that same boat as JMU. They do have a loss on their record but win out, you know, knock off everybody that you have in front of you, win the Mac Championship and at the least, you know, get a good bowl game. You know, yeah, it'd be great for Toledo to go to the college football playoff. It'd be great for JMU so on and so forth for the smaller conferences, you know, like a two lane or even an army or a navy. It would be great now. But like I said, until Boise State slips up, it's Boise State's, you know, college football playoff player, you know, ticket to lose. So it could be a good game. Like I said, Toledo at Buffalo on ESPNU at 11. We're into the 230 bracket. This one's on ESPN. We had the Cal Bears who come in three and two heading to the 22nd ranked new, you know, addition to the top 25 pole and the pit panthers who come in undefeated five and oh, pit is favored by three and a half over under on this one is 59 and a half, you know, Cal coming off a a huge just depleting loss last week at the hands of the hurricanes and they were in it. You know, this Cal Bears team is very, very scrappy with their first, you know, year in the ACC conference, you know, taking a quite a long trip up to Pittsburgh to play these panthers and did they empty the tank against Miami? You know, this was a college game day was in Cal Berkeley and pit. Hey, you got a number next to your name now. You're not sneaking up on anybody. This is a five and oh team, you know, you win this game, you're both eligible in your first six games, you know, that's definitely, you know, admirable. But, you know, as the weeks go, there's more and more tape on you. You know, these good defensive coordinators will start finding things that they see your your tendencies and they'll start playing it against you. It's not going to be a cakewalk. So I see this as a really good game, very interesting game of Cal can play anything close like they played against the hurricanes last week. I give them a shot every shot in the world. But this is a show me game for pit. You know, when you had numbers next to your name, you got to perform. So that is a 230 kick on ESPN. That is the Cal Bears heading to the 22nd ranked pit panthers, 230 kick on ABC. This is a one of many, you know, ranked on ranked matchups, heads up one of the best rivalry games in college football period. If you want to go back and listen to CM's best, you know, college football rivalries, this is in my top three. I think I have it exactly at number three and it's no, you know, disrespect to these two teams, but I have Army Navy, a little bit above them. And I have, of course, Ohio State and Michigan at number one. And you know what it is, baby? It is the Red River rivalry game on ABC at 230. This features, of course, the new number one team in the country for the second time, the Texas Longhorns come in five and oh, technically being the away team, playing the 18th ranked Oklahoma Sooners coming in four and one. If you don't know, the Red River rivalry is played in the Cotton Bowl down in Dallas. You know, it's around the state fair. It's got so much, you know, grandeur to it, a lot of stuff going around it for the longest time that this was a 11 a.m. kick all because the Cotton Bowl was one of the biggest stadiums in the country that didn't have lights. So you couldn't get to see a Red River rivalry played at night. So they always always would play at 11 a.m. Just for the simple fact is, hey, they can get that game done by the time it gets dark and you don't have to worry about firing up the lights, put up some lights, you know, in the off season. And just in case, they moved this game to 230. So, you know, if it ends up being a knockout, drag out fight, you know, a couple of over times, it should be a great, great, great game. This is, like I said, one of the greatest rivalries, but this is the first time that it's happened in the SEC conference. And it's got, you know, so much stipulation. Close years, Texas fans, you are three and seven against the Oklahoma Sooners the past 10 years. Yeah, if that is a telltale sign, they have a robbery, you know, for the last couple years, Texas has been on the map, but Oklahoma knocked them off last year. 2022 though, you know, Texas beats those Sooners 49-0. I don't see that happening. You don't see that very often in a Red River rivalry game. Blowouts, you see pretty close games, you know, maybe a double digit, but only by like 10. So, let's see here real quick. Texas is favored 14 and a half. That is a huge spread over under on this one's 15 and a half. Two teams off by us, you know, it gives these, you know, coaching staffs and strength, you know, coaches and stuff like that gives them time to, you know, work on their opposition. It's their hated rival, man. I mean, it really is. This is one of the ugliest rivalries. It's, it's just ugly, nasty. The stadiums cut exactly in half. I want to say 45, 50,000 people and burn orange, 45, 50,000 in Crimson and Cream. It's a beautiful, beautiful site. And it really is. It's one of my favorite college football games out there. And it features two teams I don't particularly give a fuck about man. I hate to tell anybody even Mike, you know, I don't like Texas. I hate Texas actually. I dislike Oklahoma, you know, there's a lot of times when I watch this game and I hope it ends in the tie, but college football can't end in ties. So that's it right there. 230 kick the Red River rivalry on ABC Texas at Oklahoma. Hey Amazon Prime members, why pay more for groceries when you can save big on thousands of items at Amazon Fresh?

The use of military rank and job titles does not implant endorsement by the Department of the Army or the Department of Defense of this ballot measure. Over on this one, by the way, 15 and a half. Sorry. 230 kick on CBS. This is a big 10 battle. This features the fourth ranked team in the country, Penn State, netnet lines coming in five and Oh, heading to LA to play the USC Trojans who come in three and two. Penn State's favored by five and a half. Over on this one is 50 and a half. Penn State has, you know, done their deal. Yeah, they've played a West Virginia. I mean, I've done their thing. You know, I'm not going to, you know, bash Penn State, you know, they, everybody says, you know, if you take Ohio State and Michigan out of that conference or Penn State doesn't play those two teams every single year, Penn State would be one of the best teams in the country. Howard Poole will tell you that himself. They beat everybody else in their conference. They just have an Ohio State and Michigan problem. They really, really do. So they have to win all these games that they're playing against other than Ohio State and Michigan. Now, the thing with USC, they suffered a just huge, I think, dehabilitating loss to Minnesota last week, 24 to 17. You know, a Minnesota team that's in the middle of the pack, you know, not a real, good team, not a great competition. USC is just one of those teams, though, going into a new conference. You got a bullseye on your back from those old big 10 teams and they lose this game. You can pretty much count them out. A lot of people have already forgot that, you know, USC walked up into, you know, Michigan and kind of hung in there, you know, with those Wolverines, but the Wolverines pulled it out. But that loss to Minnesota hurts. But like I said, that Penn State by five and a half, they're giving USC a shot. They really are. You learn a lot from a loss and embarrassing loss, absolutely from USC. So I give them a puncher shot and USC's defense definitely going to have to step up. Penn State is very well rounded. A very slept on Penn State team. I think this is that one team that can go toe to toe, especially with Michigan this year. I think Michigan has taken a step back, you know, close your ears double J, but it is what it is. We literally saw it last week losing to average Washington team. And, you know, you still have Penn State and you still have Ohio State on your, you know, schedule if you're a Michigan fan. So this is Penn State's year for sure. I see them winning close, but USC is going to hang in there. I promise you that's a 230 kick on CBS that is Penn State, 4th ranked team in the country heading to LA to play SC Trojans. We are in the 3pm kick. This one comes on on Fox. This is a big 12 battle. This features the Arizona Wildcats coming in 3 and 2, heading to Provo to play the 14th ranked BYU poogers who come in 5 and 0. BYU's favorite by five and a half over under on this one is 55 and a half. Arizona, of course, you know, losing that late night early morning matchup to my Texas Tech Red Raiders at home in Tucson just didn't play very well. You know, I will say, you know, with that win for my Texas Tech Red Raiders, that game was out of our, we should have lost that game. You know, our stud, you know, running back, bumbles twice, you know, we limited Arizona to a bunch of field goals. We limited that high flying offense, you know, to only one touchdown. So I see Arizona bouncing back for sure. You learn a lot from a loss, absolutely. And then BYU, this is, you know, I welcome to the limelight type deal. They are up there in the big 12. They're one of the highest ranked, you know, big 12 teams along with Iowa State. And, you know, with this win puts them tied with Texas Tech at the top of the big 12 standings. And this is a BYU team. Like I said before, with, you know, the talks of Arizona State as being talked as one of the worst big 12 teams. And then they're proving that the big 12 is deep. You know, the big 12 gets a lot of flack. But I legitimately think five or six teams can win this conference. And this is BYU's step up. And this is Arizona's time to say, hey, you know, we're not that bad that Texas Tech lost last week hurt. But what better way to prove that you're a good team and then walk into Provo to play the 14th ranked BYU Cougars. It seems they, they up their game when it comes to that they walked into Utah two weeks ago and beat the 10th ranked team in the country in the Utah youth. So I give Arizona every shot BYU's favorite by five and a half. Like I said, over under forty nine and a half ought to be a doozy in the big 12th three o'clock kick on Fox. This is a six o'clock kick on ESPN. I got an SEC battle for you guys. This is the Florida Gators coming in three and two heading to Knoxville to play the eighth ranked Tennessee volunteers coming in four and one Tennessee's favorite by 15 and a half over under on this one is 55 and a half. Now Florida doing a lot better than I expected. I figured they would have a two, three win season total and I was being nice. You know, the statistical hardest schedule in college football belongs to the Florida Gators. I think every single person that they played are going to play on their schedule. Had a winning record last year doesn't necessarily mean a thing at all but they're outperforming my expectations and a lot of team's expectations. I expected UCF who they played last week to beat these Florida Gators but they won. Maybe they're finding their stride. Maybe they don't want Billy Napier to get fired and then on the other side Tennessee with that just head scratching lost to Arkansas last week in Fayetteville. Tennessee looked lost. You know Arkansas is one of those middle of the pack teams. Yeah, any week in the SEC a team can beat you ask Alabama, right? But that team is better than that. I see Tennessee bouncing back. 15 and a half is a lot of freaking points but Tennessee comes back. They're playing at home, welcoming a Florida team that's you know like a bit of a rival for Tennessee and I could see this getting ugly but Florida has that game plan. Florida has good players too. A lot of people won't you know look at or admit Florida gets some of the best recruits in the country too. I mean they are still the Florida Gators so don't be surprised that this is a close game kind of like it was with that Arkansas game with Tennessee last week that Florida can't go up to Knoxville and Rocky Top and upset these Tennessee volunteers. I put Tennessee at a yellow flag on an upset alert but Tennessee if they want to contend and the SEC cannot lose another SEC game right here you have to win and I think they need to win by at least 21. Shut the door on Florida get on their ass early and often put your foot on their neck and end their season because they're three and two Florida still kind of in it. They're still kind of hanging around so you got to you got to eliminate the Gators before they start getting rolling. That is a six o'clock kick on ESPN. That is you Florida Gators at the eighth ranked Tennessee volunteers. 630 kick on NBC. This is the game of the week if it wasn't for you know this game the Red River rivalry you know Red River rivalry would be the game of the week but this is the game of the week 630 kick on NBC. This is a big 10 battle and I do mean big 10 battle features the number two team in the country. The Ohio State Buckeyes coming in 5-0 heading to the Atsun Zoo to play the Oregon Ducks who come in 5-0 as well. Ohio State's favored by 3-1/2 over under on this one is 52-1/2. Now it's kind of lost its luster to me just a little bit. I think Oregon you know I think they're a good team. I think they're just slightly overrated didn't look that great against Michigan State last week you know Dylan Gabriel with all his accolades and his arm talent and you know between his ears. I just saw too many throws last week that just head scratching you know freshman type mistakes sophomore type mistakes you know this is a guy this is on his third stop you know this is a guy that played you know in Crimson and Cream you know this was a guy that was one of the most highly sought after you know transfer quarterbacks and all of college football during the offseason chooses to go to Oregon high flying Oregon and yeah they're winning but I still don't see this Oregon team as scary as they were last year you know with with all those weapons that they had last year so Ohio State's definitely coming in the favorite three and a half is kind of a slight to the Buckeyes I think them beating the breaks off Iowa was definitely an eye opening you know when in the big 10 and in the country last week a lot of people don't beat Iowa like that and Ohio State did and Ohio State's rolling I've been saying this all year and then in the offseason Ohio State is probably the deepest and most talented team in the country just too many ways they can beat you make a bucca kind of breakout game last week you know shows that they could run the throw the ball as well you know along with their two-headed monster and trivia on Henderson and Quidshot Jodakins I see great potential right here like I said over under it is only 52 and a half so this could be a shootout this could be a knockout drag-out fight but it's also going to have very visually appeasing sexuality if I want to call it that the Austin Zoo is a very sexy stadium it's a very interesting stadium it's a small stadium I think it only holds you know 60,000 fans it's very aesthetic very cool to look at Oregon's probably going to wear some really cool uniforms and Ohio State's going to show up with that gray on wide-on gray man and they're going to you know Ohio State football you know this is an introduction to Oregon welcome to the big 10 type moment against a team that has been in the top of the big 10 for a very long time that is the Ohio State Buckeyes so I see a great game of course I'm leaning of course towards the Ohio State Buckeyes but you know Oregon playing at home it's a hard place to play so that is 630 kick on NBC that is the two number two team in the country Ohio State going to the number three team in the country the Oregon Ducks another 630 kick this one's on ABC though this is an SEC battle of another you know two ranked teams this is the Ole Miss Running Rebels five and one coming in as the ninth ranked team in the country going down to Death Valley to play the 13th ranked LSU Bayou Bengals the Tigers four and one Ole Miss is favored by three and a half over under on this one is 63 and a half I do believe LSU was on a buy last week Ole Miss let me see right here I do believe I have it wrote down yes goes to South Carolina you know gets a hard fought win not you know a kind of a yawn type win 27 to 3 you know after losing to Kentucky two weeks ago this could be a great game I'm leaning of course towards the LSU Tigers you want to see a great home environment you want to see a crazy stadium they're playing at night in Death Valley you look it up they're traditionally I probably say 75 85 maybe even 90 percent win percentage when LSU plays at home at night a lot to prove yet though on LSU side but yet again kind of the same way on Ole Miss I kind of expected them to blow out on South Carolina last week but South Carolina is pretty good especially at home so coin flip for me but if I had a gun to my head I'm taking LSU but this should be a great fight you know Mississippi's favored by three and a half over under is the highest of this whole slate for you guys it's 63 and a half so if it gets anywhere close to that you know it's going to be a shoot out and this these two teams that have one loss both have conference losses and are trying to stay in the hunt and you know stay nipping at the hills of course of you know Texas and Texas A&M some of these other great schools you know Georgia and Bama all have a conference loss next to them so you know you stay close with those guys you never know what could happen you know once October starts getting close to Halloween and then going into November so 630 kick ABC the ninth ranked Ole Miss running Rebels heading to the 13th ranked LSU Tigers value bangles go Tigers 645 kick on SEC network this is the Kings of the football world right now the Vanderbilt Commodore's three and two heading to Kentucky to play the three and two Wildcats you're probably saying see him Vanderbilt at Kentucky put that on your slate hey these two teams are hot you know this Kentucky team knocked off the team I just talked about just a second ago on the Ole Miss running Rebels a few weeks ago and of course Vanderbilt hot off the upset of the year of number one Alabama this has got fireworks written all over it baby and a lot of people will forget Kentucky should be yeah hey Amazon Prime members

message paid for by veterans for all voters listen to this message from Ted Delacath former army infantrymen and ranger qualified platoon leader active in the army reserves when I enlisted in the army I sworn oath to this country not any political party that's why I'm interested in citizens ballot measures around the country to reduce the power of political parties Colorado votes on one two right now election rules allow political insiders to hand pick party nominees it's the reason we're usually stuck voting for the lesser of two evils Colorado's plan creates an open primary where all candidates appear on one primary ballot every voter has the freedom to vote for any candidate no matter which party the Colorado plan advances four candidates to the general election not to that means more choices for voters in the primary and general election get the facts elections belong to the voters not political parties paid for by veterans for all voters Anthony Haas registered agent the use of military rank and job titles does not implant endorsement by the department of the army or the department of defense of this ballot measure Georgia a few weeks ago you know Georgia eat out of 13 to 12 you know win against these Kentucky Wildcats you know a few weeks ago Kentucky's favored by 13 and a half that's very very disrespectful if I'm Vanderbilt over on around this one's 46 and a half worry you know here's my worry wort for Vanderbilt exactly what I just talked about you just played the number one team in the country expelled all of your energy you emptied the tank you threw everything at this Alabama team now you got to do it again how much fight do you have it's the same thing when I talked about Bama you know a week ago you know having all that energy spent on Georgia we hate Georgia kill Georgia and you know you go into Vanderbilt and you don't take them seriously and they beat you so I it's this is a tough game man I'd love to see Vanderbilt win it's just poetic justice man to see a team every every single year a team comes out of nowhere and just starts reeling off whims man and why not Vanderbilt man why not here why not now and then Kentucky this could really you know strengthen your resume you know that near loss to Georgia you know that doesn't look that bad and then that you know upset win over Ole Miss in Ole Miss you know Kentucky's looking pretty good too so like I said this is gonna be a good game if you got the SEC Network at 645 this is a seven o'clock kick on Fox this is a big 12 battle this features the 11th ranked team in the country the Iowa state cyclones coming in 5 and 0 heading to Morgantown to play the west Virginia mountaineers who come in 3 and 2 Iowa state's favored by 3 over under on this one is 53 and a half yeah there's probably gonna be a lot of people going Iowa state 5 and 0 11th ranked team in the country haven't really seen them yeah neither really have I I watched a little bit of them I do believe last week against Baylor they look okay you know they look like a pretty good team but West Virginia I think that blowout win at Stillwater last week 38 to 14 gives them confidence this was a West Virginia team I was very very high on going into the off season and doing scheduled breakdowns yeah they have two losses on their on their you know record but one of them is to pin state you know that's not necessarily a bad loss but don't let this West Virginia team get hot do not let them get hot they only have one conference loss you know reeling off this one right here where do you know tilt the big 12 and a heartbeat and this is a show me game for Iowa state Morgantown is a hard hard place to play and it's going to be at night man then West Virginia people are going to be drinking that moonshine all day it's going to be a crazy crazy crowd and it's just Iowa state show me you know get to three you know in the conference get up there with tech there's still a bunch of teams that can contend in the big 12 and these two teams are no exception you have to throw in the Iowa state cyclones and still keep consideration for West Virginia do not let this team get hot it's ought to be a good game seven o'clock on Fox that is the Iowa state cyclones the 11th ranked team in the country and in the Morgantown to play the West Virginia Mountaineers last game I got for you guys this is a 915 kick another big 12 battle on ESP in this is the 18th ranked K state Wildcats four and one heading to Boulder to play the Colorado buffaloes who come in four and one K state's favored by four over under on this one is 56 and a half now as everybody knows I'm a big Colorado hater you know I'm not a fan of prime love Dion Sanders it's kind of a weird thing right but K state is is still one of the creams of the big 12 I know haven't quite you know played great ball consecutively Colorado's playing some really good ball lately I do believe both of these teams had a buy last week so that gives them you know an extra week to plan and prepare for each other Travis Hunter definitely you know one of the best players in the country if it wasn't for Ashton GNT you know for the Boise state Broncos that stud running back you know a lot of people are talking about you know Travis Hunter for Heisman and you got to keep you know performing you have to keep putting up monster stats and what better time to get Colorado ranked is you know welcome in this 18th ranked K state Wildcats team and beat him at home you know you have to do it here if not here win I don't have a dog in the fight of course I'm pulling for K state but at the same time I want Colorado to win I would love Colorado to be on a nice little win streak and you know come down to love it Texas and you know maybe we're on a little win streak and you know this is from first place in the big 12 and maybe college game day shows up you know maybe big noon kickoff shows up to love it Texas baby gonna be a great game though I see some big-time potential in this one um Avery Johnson versus Travis Hunter uh if Avery Johnson has a great game for K state uh yeah they're gonna win and I've said it before you know I said it a couple weeks ago in K state was just hanging up points left and right it's he's not just a straw that stirs the drink you know he is that ingredient that you take it out and it's that that dish is not the same that cocktail is not the same that quarterback is up there and this is another shot for him to kind of get talked about again yet in the Heisman and then going up against a guy like Travis Hunter Travis Hunter gets an interception or two uh you know the roles will get reversed so I could definitely see that happening as well so great matchup that is a 915 kick on ESPN that is the 18th ranked K state Wildcats heading on down to Boulder play the catarata buffaloes all right guys that does it for me that was 15 games starts on Thursday you know with Coastal Carolina at GMU that Friday game
