Today's episode of the Ryan Rosillo Show on the Ringer Podcast Network is brought to you by State Farm. Just like basketball, the game of life is unpredictable. Talk to a State Farm agent and get a teammate who can help you navigate the unexpected.

The Celtics are getting in hand at Tumley Lake and that's a bit surprising.

But they've had inconsistent lineup stuff so maybe that's catching up to them. Maybe it's a tough part of the schedule. Again, Spurs haven't been good.

You wouldn't say they're one of the better teams and they were up 22-3 this week.

And then the Wizards lost. I wouldn't say the jazz having this run because if you dig through the jazz opponents, like every team is under 500 except for the Clippers win.

So they're on fire, but they're playing bad teams. So hopefully they get my Conley back at some point and we'll see how good the jazz can be because they could get a teammate or get a teammate about this who can help you navigate the unexpected talk to a State Farm agent today. That was kind of cheesy. Matt Liner, USC guy, two national championship games.

We know the win against Oklahoma against Texas his thoughts on Joe Burrow on Trevor Lawrence, his matchup, his pick for Clemson and LSU coach O.

And then I'm going to get a gym ruling on this because he had a little incident at the gym or maybe I crossed over a line.

I expect most people that chime in on this are going to be split, you know, etiquette, one of those deals. But Matt and I work out at the same equinox.

So I'm going to share that I'm going to share that story with a share it with you to and open up to everybody. And then I'll do a little NBA stuff on one of the trade rumors at the very end of today's podcast. But before we get to Matt, I'm picking LSU. I know that's not a huge shock.

Going into the Oklahoma game and there's text documentation of this. Hey, what do you think? I think LSU rolls against Georgia. I think LSU rolls going to Tuscaloosa. I don't know that anybody I don't care who you are as an LSU fan.

I think it was one of the most confident LSU teams I've seen going into that game, but I've also seen him confident when they were at home against Alabama and didn't score.

So it's at Alabama. It's the history they hadn't beat him since 2011 in that incredible nine six game. If I was lucky enough to be at and I thought they're going to win. But then I changed my mind. I thought they're going to win and then they win and they were the better team.

Clemson feels more like that than it does the Georgia and Oklahoma matchup. It would be absolutely disrespectful to Clemson for me to sit here and go. Well, I think I was just going to roll him over.

Now, I don't think you're going to hold LSU under 24 or 28 points. I just don't. And I think Clemson is the kind of team that can get some plays at the outside or you TN with with big runs. And even we saw from Lawrence running against Ohio State.

I think LSU would rather play to Ohio State. I do. I do believe that. And you know, I'm not going to get into Ohio State thing, call one against them.

But you did have a lead and Clemson came back because Clemson's really good and so is Ohio State. But I don't know that I would sit here and be like, well, I feel like it'd be hyped up a little bit more if it were a house day and to the percentage of Ohio State Buck Eiffons that are absolutely insufferable.

Trust me, ESPN would rather Ohio State be in this title game. It's not debatable. They would rather that happen. So there's zero world where there's conspiracy to keep them out because of ESPN. And I don't work for ESPN anymore.

So if I really wanted to be that kind of guy would say, oh, you know, ESPN, you know, now that I'm gone. Here's what really happens. I'm telling you. And honestly, I think most of you guys out there realize that there's just a portion of very upset vocal Ohio State fans that are going to get over that game. But the bad calls a bad call. It's not because somebody DSP is like, all right. Yeah, that review. Yeah, we're going to go ahead and say that's a fumble and not a touchdown. So that's who I'm picking him headed in Orleans Friday.

So that's later today. And we'll be down there doing a podcast. Chris Long is actually going to be in town. I think guys are getting there a little bit later than I am. And we have a bunch of cool podcast things plan. We do not have a live show.

We're just going to be taping it where we're staying. And then I think there'll be some kind of Tuesday recap and I should be back on the West Coast. So there you go. That's my pick.

Okay, we got USC legend Matt liner with us. And I'm glad we were able to finally put this together. So let's talk title game. But I want to go back first to peach ball and the fiesta.
