All right, Brian, and part three today show here in the Irish Breakdown podcast, brought to you Fanduil. We are talking some big games going on around college football, and we're going to take a deep dive into three of them. Like you said in the last segment, man, this is a weird game of college football. You think of the matchups going on. You get, you know, Notre Dame Pitt is a ranked matchup. You get Alabama, Alabama and Oklahoma. you get Georgia, Texas.

Like, man, this is geared up to be a pretty awesome week of college football. Well, I mean, outside of Iowa at USC, the other game that we're preview, and there's not really a whole lot going on outside of that. So this is a very, very, very front-loaded slate of college football. It is, man. It just, it's weird. It's like, we, I've been talking for a while about how excited I was for this weekend. And then you then go through the whole schedule and you're just like, man, it's just, it's not as good as you thought it was going to be. But then also some teams have lost. Like a couple weeks ago, I was probably, I was thinking like, but this Clemson, Louisville game is going to get real interesting.

You know, like, three weeks ago, maybe.

And then Louisville drops back-to-back games at home to SMU at Duke.

And you're like, well, okay, that one's no good.

You know, you're coming to the season and you're thinking this South Carolina A&M game late in the year is going to be a pretty good game. And then South Carolina is just completely falling apart. You know, they look, Texas A&M, they're going to look for payback last year. And, you know, obviously the games we looked at, we know that are good, good games. And, you know, Georgia Tech Boston College was a game that if BC was as good as they were last

year would be like well you know I think tech's going to win but this is an upset alert game for me

and just Florida you know if you're you're certain thinking like Florida Ole Miss oh that's going to

be a great game and and it's turned into a game that just doesn't matter. TCU's blown an opportunity to be ranked.

I mean, if TCU beats Iowa State last week, it goes to seven to two,

there's an outside chance that they jump into the top 25 and not Cincinnati.

Like, it's just, it's so frustrating watching that team sometimes.

So it's such a missed opportunity.

So I look at it, man.

I think this could be a very interesting,

very interesting weekend at the top. There's a ton going on from 10 to 23, 22. There's a ton

going on where teams could lose, but they're not like marquee games.

Michigan could certainly lose at Northwestern,

not a marquee game.

BYU could lose to TCU, not a marquee game.

So that kind of put a little bit of a damper, I guess, on the weekend draft.

But I got to say, though, even with all that, man, the top of the slate games are absolutely going to be awesome.
