Welcome in, latest episode, that SEC podcast, back with another edition of the Marler Monday.

What's up, buddy, Chris Marler.

Oh, sorry in the comments.

Let's do this.

We got 56 minutes.

Hey, at least Bama made it, right? You got to be happy about that?

I was very happy about that. I thought it was the right decision. I'm sure we're going to talk

all about it. I'm very excited to go over all of the factual information on all sides.

It seems to be something that a lot of people are choosing not to do.

And yeah, that's not.

I mean, I, I mean, Saturday they did everything they could to ruin the entire resume they built on the season.

Cherokee Chewch.

That's a really good point.

I did say that. I was wrong about that one thing about your team. Do you feel bad for Notre Dame? No. Like, you ought to start there? Yes. So I think Notre Dame should be in the playoff. Let me start by saying that. I think they are good enough to be in the playoff and they are one of the 12

best teams. Here's the thing. You played two top 10 teams all year and you lost to both of them.

I have hated the way Notre Dame schedules most of their seasons forever. Like you look at last year's

season, they played at Purdue in week three,

and they didn't have another true road game until the final weekend of the year or final

weekend of the regular season against Southern Cal on November 30th. But like September 15th to

November 30th did not have a true road game. They, they have for decades been catered to,

gotten the benefit of so many different things that aren't, like, not just that they've got the benefit, that aren't applicable or available to so many, if not all of the other teams and schools in college football.

Like, we talk about brand bias, talking about conference bias, you know, Bama bias, SEC bias, whatever.
