Well, the college football playoff, it is set, but the fact of the matter is, how did we get here? Because Joe and I have been talking all college football season, good teams, bad teams, what we think is going to happen. Now, understand this. There is a television show which if anybody follows me on X, I bash it every single year. It's the most meaningless show you can possibly have on a week to week basis. Understanding the game. on the field are gonna take care of business and it doesn't matter where you're ranked here. So the fact of the matter that everybody called this from the first television show. Head to head has to matter. If Notre Dame and Miami get close, that's gonna be very interesting if they keep Notre Dame above, which basically all of those television shows outside of the previous one, they kept Notre Dame at the top of the standings above Miami. But the question want to filter in, is anybody gonna get snubbed? Is chaos going to happen? And to be honest, Joe, the past two weeks, we had no chaos outside like Texas beating A&M, which A&M was already in the championship, and you probably thought a 3 loss Texas team was going to be left out. But let's go over what happened on Saturday in chronological order. A 12 o'clock clock kickoff was BYU and Texas Tech. Here's what we knew. Texas Tech was going to be in no matter what, but the question was, is it BYU won, they're going to be in, which would kick somebody out. The only thing that BYU is maybe hoping for, Joe, if they lost was a close loss. They got hammered 34 to 7 in that game. When you watch that game play out, it just felt to me, Joe, that the BYU getting beat by that bad, they were out of the college football playoff. And, and I think everybody knew cause it was the largest spread of all of them, Donnie, right? I mean, it closed 12.5, 13, and we just knew. I mean, they were outclassed against Texas Tech and everybody knew it, including the committee, which is why they sandwiched them where they sandwiched them between Notre Dame and Florida, because once they lost, you knew they were going to be out and that was the end of it. Uh, and that's exactly what happened. I mean, Texas Tech, we've been. saying it now for weeks, yet this team is taking no prisoners. They are every bit as talented as anybody else in this field, uh, and they showed you exactly why. You got to be taking them very seriously when it comes to the playoffs. Absolutely. And we're gonna get to some details there and what we think of Texas Tech and also why BYU is eventually left out of the college football playoff. Let's move it down now to the SEC championship game, which all eyes were on the prize. The question was, we knew Georgia was going to be. Again, the thing was with Alabama getting moved up, it looked like there was a buffer for no matter what happened to Alabama, if they lost, particularly by two touchdowns or less, they probably would be in the tournament no matter what. They got hammered, they got embarrassed and 28, 7, Joe, didn't even tell the total tale of this game. It was Georgia in an absolute rout. So the thoughts from me on Saturday night, there's no way they can put Alabama in. What did you get out of that football game and what were your thoughts when it ended, Joe? Well, I, I mean, it was clearly all Georgia there. I mean, Georgia had struggled with Alabama in years past, but it's clear that this Alabama team is not what they were in the middle of the season. Some teams get better, Donny, and then some teams, you know, injuries start to take their toll, and they. become progressively worse and you look down the back end of the schedule here with Alabama, they have not been playing well. I mean, beating an awful Auburn team, uh, because it's a rivalry game. I mean, getting blown out by 3 touchdowns and you remain in exactly the same spot as you did a week ago makes little to no sense.
