  • College football playoff selection show rankings presented by A T and T five g at number one.

  • I believe we're going to see Alabama every even numbered year of the playoff.

  • Alabama has started at number one.

  • They have not won the national championship in any of those years when they've started interesting with the number one, they get right out of the gate.

  • Yeah, full morsel at number two.

  • Alabama's won it twice.

  • And who is number two?

  • Yes, we know Clemson Tigers.

  • They've also wanted a couple of times.

  • Finished runner up last year, losing in the national championship game.

  • Who else?

  • You?

  • So there is no surprise we could have done that before the season way.

  • Could have start, perhaps.

  • And let's see.

  • Let's see what the reaction is with golf stretch class.

  • Get six straight college football playoff Here.

  • We owe both pizza.

  • The top two teams have been seven playoffs in the top.

  • Two have been in six of them.

  • Missed different years.

  • Clemson missed the first year Alabama missed last year, so order order has been restored.

  • Now you're going to three or you're gonna sick.

  • I'm going toe three were about to find out what's up right now.

  • Find out what's up right now at number three, Drama.

  • Oh, my goodness.

  • Oh, Ohio State and the big number that you see.

  • 11, 10, six.

  • But it didn't hurt the Buckeyes.

  • So the Buckeyes are in it.

  • 123 And for the second straight year, Clemson and Ohio State and its final.

  • And the way the game, the way that game ended, last year's and controversy, there's gonna be so hype, buildup of obviously that aspect of it.

  • But remember, because Ohio State was in the top four last week, you talked about it.

  • They could win almost with a safety.

  • It wouldn't matter if they were gonna move them, they would have moved them last week.

  • And the fact that they won the Big 10 championship, I think everybody expected them to be where they are.

  • And I think also, don't you think it was a product of the way Notre Dame lost Notre Dame game?

  • They're sitting in three.

  • Maybe maybe, you know, try to avoid the rematch.

  • But here we go again.

  • That question, right?

  • Yeah.

  • Right now, we're not gonna go to four.

  • We're gonna do something.

  • We're gonna do something sometime.

  • Right here.

  • We're gonna We're gonna walk it off.

  • Yeah.

  • Eso Look, I want I want to be clear about this because Ohio State fans I don't know if you guys particularly aware of this.

  • Sometimes it gets sensitive.

  • When you when you are you surprised?

  • With six wins, they're really good.

  • They can win the whole thing.

  • Absolutely played six games.

  • But is this justified to have number three absolutely justified.

  • This is a football team that from the very beginning before they played a game, everyone thought they were a top four team.

  • A top five team.

  • They played one game.

  • They're already up there in the AP rankings.

  • So the respect for this team has been there all along.

  • They go 60 Of course, they wanted to play more games.

  • Everyone want to see them play more games.

  • That's not their fault.

  • But to go 60 a Big 10 champion beating a top 10 team in Indiana now knocking off Northwestern number three is where they belong and they've earned it.

  • Nothing was given to them.

  • They earned it and they deserve it.

  • I think if you're in the committee.

  • You have to be impressed.

  • Also, I think sometimes by the way they've won, we've seen Justin Field struggled mightily, throwing the ball in their biggest games against Indiana.

  • Northwestern.

  • Both those games.

  • Master Teague, Trey, Sermon.

  • They run the ball.

  • They grind it out 300 yards rushing against Indiana, 400 against Northwestern.

  • They've had to win game shorthanded without their head coach without offensive lineman key players on defense.

  • I think winning the conference championship, I think, was the tie breaker for them in the committee's eyes.

  • Moving them.

  • I would just add They have a played their best game.

  • They played a good half.

  • They've not played 60 minutes yet.

  • Now, I don't know if they're capable of with trying to build that continuity in the next, whatever it is 10, 15 days to get ready to play their best game.

  • But they've not played their best football yet.

  • And the other thing that we've mentioned with them, we'll find out what the Big 10 ruling is.

  • How many of you guys, and also some of it depends on when they tested positive.

  • All of that and now Ohio State's going to go into this thing by far, freshest.

  • And if they get some players back, healthiest team of the bunch, by virtue of the fact they've only played six games.

  • So now way No.

  • 123 There's only one more spot for who's in at number four drama building drumroll Notre Dame.

  • And that's what we expect.

  • Pretty much that's what we all expect.

  • Alabama and Notre Dame will play in a national semifinal they met prior to the playoff era for the national championship at the end of the 2012 season.

  • And part of the performances like that is why people were questioning Notre Dame not through the season.

  • But after yesterday, and they're going to hear about how bad they are all the way up to this game and will provide motivation.

  • The question will be, Will this be enough?

  • Thio be ableto kind of level the playing field?

  • To me, it's not how bad they are.

  • It's just how bad they are.

  • Relative good Alabama.

  • I'm just talking about the game that they I'm not saying they're bad at all.

  • They're going to hear that and it's gonna definitely you know how it's college football.

  • You get motivated up.

  • Coaches should position right here.

  • Oh my God, you're a team.

  • Like how we say the Notre Dame with the winter year, where it's like a call us the underdogs run the other bus devil.

  • Always use that.

  • These coaches love being in this position.

  • We just come off of a bad loss.

  • People are doubting us.

  • After the season we had, They will be motivated, come out with an attitude.

  • Okay, and here's where the games were going to be played.

  • Alabama Notre Dame is the game that was the Rose Bowl, remember?

  • I told you a few minutes ago that's not going to be played in Pasadena.

  • Now it's going to be played at A T and T Stadium in Arlington, going to be played in Dallas.

  • That's Alabama.

  • Notre Dame in the Dallas area.
