I mean, we, this is probably the heaviest debate we had.

0:02.7

It's just when you're looking at where the conference is, like winning the conference,

0:07.2

it's a little bit different than playoff talk.

0:09.2

Is this disrespectful to Indiana?

0:11.3

Yeah, I mean, I think it's disrespectful.

0:12.7

We didn't have no one.

0:13.7

More specifically disrespectful to Kurtzig.

0:18.2

The Big Ten is taking over college football and some could argue college basketball in some stances.

0:24.5

Yesterday we did our SEC post-spring power rankings today.

0:27.5

We are doing the Big Ten.

0:29.4

And David Cohn, former Michigan quarterback, there's 18 teams.

0:32.4

Figure it out.

0:33.1

Why?

0:33.8

Figured it out.

0:35.0

I blame Tony Petiti.

0:36.2

Those are the two people I blame 18 teams.

0:38.3

Is that what you mean when you say they're taking over? Because they just have all the team down, not the three champions. At this point, it's a Noah's Ark thing. Y'all going to have one of everything on them. When I played in the Big Ten, notice 10, at one point there were 10 teams. Y'all's math sucks. They had, it the Big 10, and in between they had this creative little thing they did with two lines for 11. There was 11 teams in the Big 10. Now there's 490. Yeah, yeah. There's no way you can get creative about this. And Blaine, what? We are going to rank all 18. Now, if we sat down and broke down every single one of the 18, this would be six and a half hour of show.

1:14.0

This would be like one of those lifetime movie marathons that seems like it. Yeah, look, I'll be honest with you. If you're a Rutgers fan, we're not going through your two need. Yeah, I hate to disappoint all three of the Rutgers fans that probably watch this show. And we love you. Yeah, we love you. He almost did his bachelor trip in Atlantic City. He turned me down on that one, though. Yeah, I don't think that would have been a good recipe for anybody.

1:30.4

Like, at the end of the day we had to make sure to get everybody home that's true and i don't know if summer all could come to the batch trip in atlantic city yeah they'd find out they'd find out immediately all right so the way we do this if you watched our s cc pirro rankings one yesterday We have our rankings. It's a cumulative ranking. So we didn't agree with every place we ended up because it's one list, but we just wanted to make one list. We also have the bet MGM odds. Make sure you ride with a bet MGM over there to see who kind of order to finish or the odds to win the conference, I guess is the best way to put it. And, Coney, you're going to be in charge of the list today because of your Big Ten alma mater of tip, your Big Ten, even keelness, I think, which is one of the best things about you. But all right, let's go and kick this bad boy off. In the comments, let it fly. Just y'all know how we do it here. Dissent moves us forward. who is according to crane andane and Cone, before we get to the odds, because we know ours is better, who do we have number one overall? Buckyes, number one. It shouldn't be a big surprise. I think most people filling out this similar sort of list here would have that, and they do rank number one on the odds as well at plus 180. The questions, obviously, are when you have, what, four picks in the first 11, you know, how can you reload that sort of talent, especially on the defensive side with guys like Arvel Reese and Sonny Stiles and Caleb Downs all going right there in those first top 10 picks. We, this is a power ranking, so we're not taking into account of the schedule. We will break down this schedule fully in the Buckeye season preview, which is coming up here in a couple weeks. But one interesting thing to note on the schedule, though, is that road game at Texas, not a conference game. So that actually wouldn't impact here their ability to win the conference, which they didn't do last year. Undefeated in the regular season, lost in the title game to Indiana.

3:09.0

Well, I've just watched Ohio State reload more times than a guy who operates a gun range.

3:14.9

So I'm just, after looking at their roster, you know who the stars are going to be in some places,

3:19.9

but there's always two or three guys that when you turn on the tape with Ohio State,
