Cash, the ticket is presented by Fandul's Sportsbook, Make Every Moment More.

So let's go to the next tier, unless you have any other thoughts. No, this is the overnight oats tier. The mushy middle. The mushy middle, we're calling it, and it's all but three teams in the Big Ten. You want me to go through all of them, or you just want to hand out a couple teams that stand out to you? Look, I think it's important to at least drop their names once, but only focus on a couple.

0:21.9

Okay.

0:22.3

So in the mushy middle, we have, but

0:25.3

but, but, uh, USC, Washington, Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin, UCLA, Michigan State, and Rutgers.

0:34.6

All right, let me take one of these teams right off at the start. Are you ready? Yeah. Rob Riggle's getting fired. Yeah. I'm telling you, I don't think Wisconsin's going to be mediocre. I think they're going to be bad. I think it was a bad cultural fit. Systemically, it's a bad fit. Why would you bring the air raid to Wisconsin? It doesn't make sense to me. Then we have to factor the schedule, which Jim will present to you in a moment.

0:57.9

And we have this small, slight inconvenience.

1:01.6

You know, a little bit more than you woke up with a backache.

1:05.8

You don't have a quarterback.

1:07.6

Oh, Billy Edwards slander.

1:09.2

Yeah, he's terrible.

1:09.7

The problem is Billy Edwards a run first guy in the air raid. Now, let me introduce you to what... He wasn't any good at Maryland. Like, it's going to work here is laughable. No, I mean, come on. But look, the win total's five and a half, I'd go under. The schedule? Here. I have it. Here's Jim with the news. So they get a couple easy start, Miami and Middle

1:28.9

Tennessee, but then at Alabama, Maryland, at Michigan, Iowa, Ohio State, at Oregon, Washington,

1:38.2

at Indiana, Illinois, and then at the end you get your rival for the Axe in Minnesota. Yeah,

1:43.3

guess what? I mean, are they going to win more than one game the last two months of the season? I don't know, but it won't be enough to save Rob Riggle. And I hope him and his wife are happy after they shit all over Michigan State. Hey, how'd that work, honey? You're still packing your fucking bags. Sorry, I'm a little bitter. But I agree with the read. he's getting fired. I know. And I hate, you know what I hate, I hate that Wisconsin isn't,

2:04.3

isn't a little bitter. But I agree with the read. He's getting fired. I know. And you know what I hate? I hate that Wisconsin isn't a better program because it's my favorite stop in the Big Ten. I've been to Madison. It's a great college football town. They should be so much better than this. Now, we can do the rest of this tier, but I'm not term in Wisconsin, mostly middle. You think they're bottom feeder? They're trash. I think they're a four and eight football team.

2:21.1

Okay, we could have cut this tier up a little bit because I don't think it's fair to lump in USC and Washington.

2:25.3

So why don't we start with this?

2:27.6

Between the three teams who have a win total of seven and a half,

2:31.1

who's the team that could get out of the mushy middle and get into interesting territory?

2:35.6

You have USC at seven and a half, Washington at seven and a half. Who's the team that could get out of the mushy middle and get into interesting

2:34.9

territory? You have USC at seven and a half, Washington at seven and a half. Oh, dear God,
