| 0:00.0 | Happy Wednesday, everybody. Welcome back to the Early Edge College Football Picks Show presented by BedMGM, Make It Legendary. We are on to week nine, which is crazy to think about. We have six undefeated teams left. We have a five man high has been race. We have five teams who |
| 0:20.8 | have been ranked for the first time in 15 years. We have eight gajillion coaches on the hot seat and or fired. And we have a lot to unpack and a lot to bet on today. We're going to get right into it. We're going to go through the Power Four conferences. We'll give you our best bets of the entire slate and we'll give you some underdogs as well. And we will waste no time doing so. |
| 0:38.0 | So with that said, let's bring in the real stars of the show here. Emery Hunt, Mike McClure, |
| 0:41.9 | welcome to week nine. Emery, how do you feel about that? |
| 0:45.6 | Crazy. You blink and you already miss college football season is whizzing on by. |
| 0:51.3 | Mike, how are we feeling? |
| 0:53.6 | Feeling great, Kent. |
| 0:54.8 | You know, doesn't necessarily feel like the biggest weekend in college football. |
| 0:59.0 | It's a nice little break after having a huge week last week. |
| 1:01.8 | Another big week on deck, though. |
| 1:03.5 | So, yeah, it is a little crazy that we're to week nine already, though. |
| 1:08.1 | Feels like maybe week five or six to me. |
| 1:28.0 | It is crazy. Well, maybe not the biggest slate. We do have three ranked on ranked on ranked games this week, all in the SEC where it just means more. These are the glory days that we have to remind ourselves of. We're mid-October, almost November. We can't take these days for granted. We have the sports equinox coming up on Monday as well, but that's neither here or there. |
| 1:32.1 | Let's get into the ACCC. We're going to start there. We're going to start with this ponies team. |
| 1:38.6 | SMU minus three and a half on the road versus Wake Forest. Interesting situation. You see the ponies upset Clemson here, a spot that I thought they were really strong in. I believe I gave out SMU last |
| 1:43.3 | week as well. |
| 1:49.3 | You have Wake Forest coming off a buy. Interesting spot here, kind of a tricky matchup. |
| 1:54.5 | Emery, which way are you leaning on this? I like SMU. I still have some questions about Wake Forest's defense and the way that SMU has played offensively with Kevin Jennings throwing |
| 1:59.3 | a football and doing that more so than being that dual threat. |
| 2:03.5 | So I'm still waiting for him to unleash that. |
| 2:05.3 | Maybe that's this game, but I like the fact that they're playing balance. |
| 2:07.6 | He got a big win last weekend. |
