Hey, Reagan.

0:19.7

What's more hilarious coaches crying about Notre Dame not being in their conference or SEC coaches crying about the playoffs still being too small just so they can get bounced in the first round.

0:32.1

Woo, baby.

0:33.3

The one about Notre Dame not being in the conference.

0:35.8

That's why far, though.

0:37.0

Because let's be honest, the SEC teams all got, you know, except for the new Big 12, you know, the team they got from the, you know, conference portal. That's not going to be a normal. There's going to be an SEC team that wins a title in next three, four years probably. I mean, if not, I mean, there's a couple of C teams to have a shot to win it this year. But I actually kind of, I kind of like

1:00.4

what the SEC's doing right now. I actually, you know, I'm not a big Greg Sankey fan, but if what I've

1:06.7

seen reported is kind of what he's doing, I kind of like what he's doing, which is basically, look, we are either going to go to nine

1:14.1

games and get what we want, which I think he ultimately wants a ninth conference game or, you

1:20.8

know, like things aren't going to change the main where they're not going to go to the automatic

1:24.2

qualifiers because this league doesn't want it.

1:26.3

The Big Ten does because I think the Big Ten knows what they did last year is not going to be the norm for them every single year. That's what they think. I don't necessarily agree with that. I think adding USC in Oregon and Washington means that you now have better chances to have four teams every year. But, you know, Tony Petiti just wants that guarantee it's all about dollars for the big 10 that's

1:45.6

all it's about for the big 10 so actually I'm working on some research now to kind of go look at it

1:52.0

and and you know like the SEC there's some teams in the SEC doing it right where I'm like look if

1:57.6

you could all do this I don't care about you playing.

2:05.5

I don't need you to play 15 games or, I mean, excuse me, nine games in the regular season.

2:09.5

Because, A, look, there's two things can be true at once.

2:11.1

One, here's two things that I think are true.

2:37.3

Number one, this notion that playing in the SEC is just so much harder and eight. But it is though it's not what you make it out to be, but it's still, it's still tougher playing eight games in the SEC right now than it is playing nine in the big 10. Because once you get past the first four or five teams in the big 10, there's a big freaking drop off. Huge. You know, and now that's changing a little bit with Washington, but you've got too many teams in your league now.

2:37.8

You're not playing all those teams in one year.

2:40.9

And I look at it like outside of like Ohio State and Michigan, and that ends for Michigan

2:45.7

the next three years.
