00:00:00.450 --> 00:00:04.089
The SEC meeting and voting on some new rules they're
2
00:00:04.110 --> 00:00:06.710
going to implement as quickly as possible. And is one
3
00:00:06.730 --> 00:00:09.970
of those going to be re-implementing the transfer rule where
4
00:00:10.039 --> 00:00:12.490
players have to sit out at least a year if
5
00:00:12.519 --> 00:00:15.419
they transfer from SEC to SEC schools. That and our
6
00:00:15.439 --> 00:00:18.379
power rankings are here. It is your daily dose of
7
00:00:18.539 --> 00:00:21.440
SEC Conference Call with yours truly, Chris Marler. It is
8
00:00:21.480 --> 00:00:26.300
the fastest 10-minute podcast that is just covering all things SEC.
9
00:00:26.879 --> 00:00:28.199
And we've got a good one for you today. We've
10
00:00:28.239 --> 00:00:30.500
got some new rules and some breaking news out of
11
00:00:30.539 --> 00:00:33.259
the SEC that was just reported from Pete Thamel. We'll
12
00:00:33.280 --> 00:00:35.799
talk about that. And we'll also talk about our SEC
13
00:00:35.840 --> 00:00:37.740
power rankings. And tomorrow, I think we're going to have
14
00:00:37.759 --> 00:00:39.079
a video. I think we're going to have an intro
15
00:00:39.100 --> 00:00:41.380
video like a real podcast. I appreciate you guys for
16
00:00:41.420 --> 00:00:43.820
listening and watching. Make sure you like and subscribe. I
17
00:00:43.840 --> 00:00:45.619
really appreciate it. We do it every single day of
18
00:00:45.659 --> 00:00:49.100
the week, Monday through Friday. It'll be out at 7
19
00:00:49.100 --> 00:00:51.200
to 8 a.m. in the morning. And it's the fastest
20
00:00:51.200 --> 00:00:54.009
10 minutes of everything you know at the SEC. So
21
00:00:54.020 --> 00:00:56.590
let's get started with today's show. Let's start with the
22
00:00:56.670 --> 00:01:00.149
news that just broke. SEC presidents approve a uniform NIL
23
00:01:00.289 --> 00:01:03.689
rev share contract. Now, what does that mean? Great question.
24
00:01:04.799 --> 00:01:08.680
Pete Nacos reports that the NIL and revenue share contract
25
00:01:08.760 --> 00:01:12.159
includes adjustable components, but it has been agreed upon to
26
00:01:12.200 --> 00:01:16.829
have a uniform NIL and rev share contract across the SEC.
27
00:01:16.930 --> 00:01:20.069
Right now, the Big Ten is the only other conference
28
00:01:20.090 --> 00:01:23.230
that that has a uniform rev share contract. You're seeing
29
00:01:23.370 --> 00:01:26.450
an alignment start to happen between the two biggest conferences
30
00:01:26.870 --> 00:01:29.189
for things to open up down the road. You're going
31
00:01:29.209 --> 00:01:31.150
to see a 2014 playoff probably announced later this week.
32
00:01:31.530 --> 00:01:34.849
People have said before that happens, you are starting to
33
00:01:34.909 --> 00:01:39.569
see some similarities and parallels and alignment between these two
34
00:01:39.769 --> 00:01:42.939
powerful conferences. Now, while that vote took place, it says
35
00:01:42.950 --> 00:01:46.079
the president's also tabled a vote in whether to reimplement
36
00:01:46.120 --> 00:01:50.939
its intra-conference transfer policy as on three previous reported, the
37
00:01:51.099 --> 00:01:53.739
SEC was considering going back to what the rule used
38
00:01:53.780 --> 00:01:55.900
to be just about six, seven years ago, I believe,
39
00:01:55.920 --> 00:01:58.560
I don't even mean sooner, where you were not allowed
40
00:01:58.900 --> 00:02:02.379
to transfer from an SEC school to an SEC school
41
00:02:02.719 --> 00:02:06.750
without sitting out a full year. Now, if you do that,
42
00:02:06.980 --> 00:02:09.210
here's what's going to happen, in my opinion. This is
43
00:02:09.250 --> 00:02:11.270
why I don't think it's ever going to be approved.
44
00:02:11.330 --> 00:02:12.849
It would be a great step in the right direction,
45
00:02:13.210 --> 00:02:14.509
but I think what you have to do is have
46
00:02:14.530 --> 00:02:20.009
a universal and uniform policy across the entire landscape of
47
00:02:20.069 --> 00:02:22.030
not just the Power Four, but also FBS and say,
48
00:02:22.509 --> 00:02:25.330
if you are going to transfer, what has to happen
49
00:02:25.389 --> 00:02:27.539
is you get one free one. You get one free one.
50
00:02:27.560 --> 00:02:29.219
And after that, you got to sit out a year.
51
00:02:29.340 --> 00:02:31.780
Because if you don't do that, what you're also saying
52
00:02:31.879 --> 00:02:34.199
is you can do this thing where you transfer every
53
00:02:34.240 --> 00:02:37.639
single year. And like Bear Alexander, who's out at Oregon,
54
00:02:37.680 --> 00:02:40.060
this is the first stop he's had in back-to-back seasons
55
00:02:40.080 --> 00:02:42.490
that are the same. Um, to me, what Dura Jaya,
56
00:02:42.530 --> 00:02:44.889
who's a defensive lineman in South Carolina, he's in year five.
57
00:02:44.909 --> 00:02:47.490
He's at his fifth different school. TJ Finley is the
58
00:02:47.650 --> 00:02:48.870
one with all the memes that kind of make fun
59
00:02:48.889 --> 00:02:50.330
of it. This has been an issue going on and
60
00:02:50.349 --> 00:02:53.560
on and on. And it doesn't really, there's nothing about
61
00:02:53.590 --> 00:02:58.460
it that makes you think, Hey, this is fun, stable,
62
00:02:58.879 --> 00:03:01.120
good for the player. Now they should be allowed to
63
00:03:01.159 --> 00:03:03.900
chase money and get paid, whatever, especially for some of
64
00:03:03.919 --> 00:03:05.439
the players that know that they don't have a chance
65
00:03:05.460 --> 00:03:08.199
to make the NFL. But it's still bad for the sport.
66
00:03:08.300 --> 00:03:11.139
And so having this in place where it's uniform across
67
00:03:11.159 --> 00:03:14.080
the entire landscape of college football, not just the SEC,
68
00:03:14.419 --> 00:03:15.560
I think would be great. I think it'd be a
69
00:03:15.639 --> 00:03:18.680
great step in the right direction to say you have
70
00:03:18.699 --> 00:03:20.419
to sit out a year after your first transfer. Now,
71
00:03:20.580 --> 00:03:23.280
if you do it just in the SEC, that is
72
00:03:23.319 --> 00:03:27.729
a massive, massive bad decision. Because what's going to happen
73
00:03:28.169 --> 00:03:30.469
is you're going to see players who are unhappy with
74
00:03:30.490 --> 00:03:33.229
their current playing time, former five stars, good players, guys
75
00:03:33.250 --> 00:03:34.370
that are going to hit the portal no matter what.
76
00:03:34.819 --> 00:03:36.699
guys that are being recruited to go somewhere else no
77
00:03:36.719 --> 00:03:40.180
matter what. So if I've got a kid that is–
78
00:03:40.539 --> 00:03:43.099
I'm trying to think of a good example here. If
79
00:03:43.139 --> 00:03:46.240
I've got a guy, Deuce Knight, the backup quarterback from
80
00:03:46.900 --> 00:03:49.699
Auburn last year that went to Ole Miss, right, former five-star,
81
00:03:49.960 --> 00:03:55.000
highly ranked recruit, somebody like that. There's Prince Noel Umami-Ellen,
82
00:03:55.370 --> 00:03:57.849
kid that went from Ole Miss to LSU. What's most
83
00:03:57.930 --> 00:04:01.129
likely going to happen if somebody– and maybe Umami-Ellen is
84
00:04:01.150 --> 00:04:02.960
not a good example because he followed his old coach–
85
00:04:03.169 --> 00:04:04.969
But you've seen it time and time again where players
86
00:04:05.009 --> 00:04:06.750
go from one school to the other in this league.
87
00:04:06.849 --> 00:04:12.080
Lance Heard, LSU, Tennessee, Kentucky, right? And if you do that,
88
00:04:12.180 --> 00:04:14.580
if you take that away, what's going to happen is
89
00:04:14.620 --> 00:04:17.240
a mass exodus of some really good players who are
90
00:04:17.259 --> 00:04:19.439
going to go play in the Big Ten or the
91
00:04:19.459 --> 00:04:22.300
Big 12 or Texas Tech or Oregon or Ohio State
92
00:04:22.379 --> 00:04:25.040
or whatever because they're going to get paid to go
93
00:04:25.060 --> 00:04:27.930
to those places. So I don't think that strengthens the conference.
94
00:04:27.959 --> 00:04:29.949
And I think the biggest thing you're trying to do
95
00:04:30.009 --> 00:04:33.290
here is probably strengthen the conference. And so That is
96
00:04:33.350 --> 00:04:35.310
something I don't think that's going to pass. I just
97
00:04:35.329 --> 00:04:37.290
don't think it's going to pass. Also, I got contacts today.
98
00:04:37.310 --> 00:04:38.970
I keep touching my glasses like I'm trying to push
99
00:04:38.990 --> 00:04:41.029
them up because I haven't had contacts in like two years.
100
00:04:41.110 --> 00:04:43.550
So bear with me on that. The other thing I
101
00:04:43.569 --> 00:04:46.949
want to talk about, power rankings. We redid the power
102
00:04:46.990 --> 00:04:51.500
rankings from today or for week seven. They came out today.
103
00:04:52.329 --> 00:04:54.540
Go read it at LouisianaSports.net. We do it every single Monday.
104
00:04:55.000 --> 00:04:56.839
Tomorrow will be the quarterback rankings. But here are the
105
00:04:56.879 --> 00:05:01.420
power rankings that I have for this week. I'm biased, admittedly,
106
00:05:01.759 --> 00:05:03.699
but I think they're pretty dang good. I think they're pretty,
107
00:05:03.959 --> 00:05:07.759
pretty good. That is not, that's the one. Here we go. Um,
108
00:05:08.439 --> 00:05:10.680
let's get this off the screen. Look at me go.
109
00:05:10.759 --> 00:05:14.490
Here we are. Now here are my week seven power rankings. Um,
110
00:05:14.519 --> 00:05:17.209
and I'll walk through my explanation of each of these, right?
111
00:05:17.230 --> 00:05:20.490
Cause there was movement everywhere except for Arkansas because Arkansas
112
00:05:20.509 --> 00:05:23.730
sucks and they're terrible. Um, let's start at the top Georgia.
113
00:05:23.870 --> 00:05:25.769
It's I think the title of the article was it's
114
00:05:25.870 --> 00:05:28.269
Georgia and everybody else. And I think that's a very,
115
00:05:28.569 --> 00:05:32.360
very fair place to start. Um, After them, I put
116
00:05:32.540 --> 00:05:35.579
Bama up. Last week, I had Bama at three. I
117
00:05:35.620 --> 00:05:37.480
had Georgia at two, and I had Texas at one.
118
00:05:37.560 --> 00:05:40.899
I said it felt like Texas was not better than Georgia,
119
00:05:40.980 --> 00:05:42.459
and if they had to play on a neutral field,
120
00:05:42.600 --> 00:05:46.509
I think that Georgia would beat them. After last week,
121
00:05:46.529 --> 00:05:48.490
and obviously after this week, I think Bama would probably
122
00:05:48.509 --> 00:05:51.930
beat them as well because they've had struggles. But I
123
00:05:51.970 --> 00:05:55.569
also believe in on-field things having to matter, and Texas
124
00:05:55.769 --> 00:05:58.310
beating Ohio State, Texas going on the road and beating Tennessee,
125
00:05:58.329 --> 00:06:01.930
and Georgia two of your four games, so half of them,
126
00:06:01.990 --> 00:06:04.029
coming against ranked opponents and you winning both those, I
127
00:06:04.050 --> 00:06:07.430
think that is a really strong statement from Texas. And
128
00:06:07.470 --> 00:06:10.110
at the time, Georgia hadn't played anybody. So I stand
129
00:06:10.149 --> 00:06:12.560
by that decision of having them number one. They had
130
00:06:12.579 --> 00:06:14.279
the most impressive win of anybody in the country. They
131
00:06:14.339 --> 00:06:19.339
still do, really, over Ohio State. Now, after them, I
132
00:06:19.360 --> 00:06:21.480
put Alabama at two. And I put Alabama at two
133
00:06:21.560 --> 00:06:24.220
more so because I think they're better than Texas. And
134
00:06:24.240 --> 00:06:26.230
I know they lost, and it's kind of hard to
135
00:06:26.259 --> 00:06:28.029
say they should move up with a loss, but I
136
00:06:28.050 --> 00:06:30.819
think anybody that watched that game Probably feels the same way.
137
00:06:30.939 --> 00:06:32.579
If you're talking about the best teams in this conference
138
00:06:32.600 --> 00:06:35.600
right now, right now, based on what we have seen
139
00:06:36.579 --> 00:06:39.800
on the field so far this season, I think you'd
140
00:06:40.339 --> 00:06:42.959
be hard-pressed to tell me there's a team better than
141
00:06:43.000 --> 00:06:44.879
them at number two. So I would have that in there,
142
00:06:44.899 --> 00:06:46.600
and I feel pretty damn confident about that as well.
143
00:06:47.459 --> 00:06:50.620
Ole Miss at three, listen, horrible loss to Florida, but
144
00:06:50.639 --> 00:06:52.319
they went on a bye week. They found themselves. They
145
00:06:52.339 --> 00:06:54.259
went and played a band team on the road and
146
00:06:54.339 --> 00:06:56.540
beat the daylights out of them. And here's what I
147
00:06:56.579 --> 00:06:59.240
liked most about that. Good teams don't play with their food.
148
00:06:59.769 --> 00:07:01.860
and Ole Miss went up there, and they were up 42-3.5.
149
00:07:01.930 --> 00:07:04.209
If you listened last week on the Friday show, we
150
00:07:04.250 --> 00:07:06.160
gave out our best bets, and it was my lock
151
00:07:06.180 --> 00:07:08.100
of the week, which is now 8-1 on the season,
152
00:07:08.480 --> 00:07:10.639
that Ole Miss 9.5 was the best bet of the week,
153
00:07:10.660 --> 00:07:14.379
hands down. Texas dropping to four. Texas dropping only five
154
00:07:14.420 --> 00:07:16.319
spots in the AP poll after losing to an unranked
155
00:07:16.339 --> 00:07:20.680
team is kind of BS, but still very impressive resume.
156
00:07:21.279 --> 00:07:22.810
After this is where it gets a little bit dicey,
157
00:07:22.819 --> 00:07:24.649
because if you're watching right now and you're basing it
158
00:07:24.689 --> 00:07:28.529
off of week to week, right now I feel like
159
00:07:28.569 --> 00:07:32.139
Missouri– should be ahead of Mississippi State. But there's a
160
00:07:32.160 --> 00:07:33.879
problem with that, and that is that Mississippi State beat
161
00:07:33.899 --> 00:07:38.019
Missouri just like three weeks ago. So I can't, in
162
00:07:38.060 --> 00:07:40.939
good faith, take them out and put them behind Missouri,
163
00:07:41.079 --> 00:07:43.550
no matter how impressive Missouri's last two wins have been.
164
00:07:43.689 --> 00:07:46.430
And I will also say this, Missouri's last win against
165
00:07:46.490 --> 00:07:47.990
A & M came against a bad A & M team.
166
00:07:48.089 --> 00:07:49.930
They're just not a very good football team, especially right now.
167
00:07:50.389 --> 00:07:52.310
So I'm fine with that five and six. You can
168
00:07:52.350 --> 00:07:54.509
kind of interchange them. This is also where it gets
169
00:07:54.529 --> 00:07:57.410
a little bit dicey. Kentucky, by the skin of their teeth,
170
00:07:58.050 --> 00:08:02.810
is five and one, not three and three. Two overtime
171
00:08:02.829 --> 00:08:05.110
wins by one point. They deserve to be there, though. Again,
172
00:08:05.170 --> 00:08:07.540
the resume and the games on the field have to matter,
173
00:08:07.600 --> 00:08:09.740
and I stand by that. So I would put Kentucky
174
00:08:09.779 --> 00:08:12.420
at seven. Oklahoma jumps up a ton of spots from
175
00:08:12.420 --> 00:08:16.139
12 to four after their win over Texas because when
176
00:08:16.160 --> 00:08:17.399
you go out and beat the number one ranked team
177
00:08:17.480 --> 00:08:19.870
and you do it in the fashion they did it in, listen,
178
00:08:19.879 --> 00:08:22.449
they're clearly not a great team offensively right now. They've
179
00:08:22.470 --> 00:08:24.709
got a lot of room to grow there. But defensively,
180
00:08:25.050 --> 00:08:27.709
they have been Fantastic, and I don't know if you
181
00:08:27.930 --> 00:08:30.350
know this, but scoring points on defense and special teams
182
00:08:30.370 --> 00:08:32.350
still matters, and they were able to do that twice
183
00:08:32.370 --> 00:08:35.070
this weekend, and it helped them win in dramatic fashion.
184
00:08:35.210 --> 00:08:37.789
LSU dropping to nine. LSU could be four. I mean,
185
00:08:37.809 --> 00:08:41.830
LSU was four last week. I don't know how to
186
00:08:41.870 --> 00:08:46.529
wrap your head around what happened against Kentucky. I just don't.
187
00:08:46.750 --> 00:08:49.570
But they lost the game, and that's an inexplicable and
188
00:08:49.610 --> 00:08:57.080
inexcusable– if you are Lane Kiffin going into this year
189
00:08:57.100 --> 00:09:01.379
where you have this massive, massively funded roster. Tennessee at 10.
190
00:09:01.379 --> 00:09:03.779
I'm not going to drop them below South Carolina, who's 3-3,
191
00:09:03.820 --> 00:09:06.509
especially when they're 5-1. They're ranked in the top 20,
192
00:09:06.500 --> 00:09:09.259
and they went toe-to-toe with Texas as their only loss.
193
00:09:09.519 --> 00:09:12.259
But they've got some issues, and those were very, very
194
00:09:12.299 --> 00:09:15.379
much on display against Arkansas on Saturday in a game
195
00:09:15.399 --> 00:09:18.110
that they were favored by 13.5 and had to fight
196
00:09:18.159 --> 00:09:21.289
tooth and nail to win in a come-from-behind game. Carolina
197
00:09:21.330 --> 00:09:24.009
jumps up four spots. That's the Carolina we thought we
198
00:09:24.029 --> 00:09:25.870
were going to see. That's the Carolina we thought we
199
00:09:25.889 --> 00:09:27.750
were going to see, and now they go into a
200
00:09:27.789 --> 00:09:30.230
bye week, and now they can try to go be
201
00:09:30.250 --> 00:09:34.509
that Carolina the rest of the year. Listen, you look
202
00:09:34.529 --> 00:09:36.889
at the rest of the schedule for South Carolina. They
203
00:09:36.909 --> 00:09:40.519
get a bye week to get healthy. They get Tennessee
204
00:09:41.460 --> 00:09:45.419
at home. And Tennessee's got some problems, especially at quarterback
205
00:09:45.460 --> 00:09:49.000
right now because they're young players. You look at where
206
00:09:49.019 --> 00:09:51.779
they rank passing-wise. They're last in the SEC. Who would
207
00:09:51.820 --> 00:09:53.519
have ever thought a Josh Heupel offense would rank that
208
00:09:53.590 --> 00:09:56.399
far down in any offensive category, let alone passing yards.
209
00:09:57.080 --> 00:09:59.799
But I have them, they've had them first Then they
210
00:09:59.840 --> 00:10:05.440
have Oklahoma. Then they have A & M. Georgia, Arkansas, Clemson.
211
00:10:06.000 --> 00:10:08.580
Everyone on the end of that schedule besides Georgia is beatable.
212
00:10:09.100 --> 00:10:11.870
Everyone on that schedule is beatable. Like A & M
213
00:10:11.909 --> 00:10:15.230
is not very good. Tennessee's got some issues. Oklahoma clearly
214
00:10:15.269 --> 00:10:17.809
has some issues. That game is at Oklahoma though. Clemson
215
00:10:17.830 --> 00:10:21.220
sucks and Arkansas is terrible. So Don't count this team
216
00:10:21.279 --> 00:10:24.779
out yet at potentially getting to eight wins, potentially getting
217
00:10:24.799 --> 00:10:26.399
to eight wins. I know they're just trying to get
218
00:10:26.419 --> 00:10:29.679
to six. And then after that, Florida, I can't rank
219
00:10:29.700 --> 00:10:31.460
them behind Auburn, but they looked really bad the last
220
00:10:31.500 --> 00:10:33.990
two weeks. Auburn on a bye week. A & M,
221
00:10:34.000 --> 00:10:36.009
who's terrible right now. And then Vandy in Arkansas. That
222
00:10:36.049 --> 00:10:39.009
is all for the show. I appreciate you guys tuning in. Tomorrow,
223
00:10:39.029 --> 00:10:41.769
we will have quarterback rankings and much, much more. Appreciate
224
00:10:41.789 --> 00:10:43.429
you guys listening. Remember to like and subscribe. It helps
225
00:10:43.450 --> 00:10:45.389

and in good graces with the boss. And until next time,
227
00:10:48.269 --> 00:10:49.620
y'all be safe, be good, be good to each other.
228
00:10:49.940 --> 00:10:50.669
We'll talk to you all then.
1
00:00:00.450 --> 00:00:04.089
The SEC meeting and voting on some new rules they're
2
00:00:04.110 --> 00:00:06.710
going to implement as quickly as possible. And is one
3
00:00:06.730 --> 00:00:09.970
of those going to be re-implementing the transfer rule where
4
00:00:10.039 --> 00:00:12.490
players have to sit out at least a year if
5
00:00:12.519 --> 00:00:15.419
they transfer from SEC to SEC schools. That and our
6
00:00:15.439 --> 00:00:18.379
power rankings are here. It is your daily dose of
7
00:00:18.539 --> 00:00:21.440
SEC Conference Call with yours truly, Chris Marler. It is
8
00:00:21.480 --> 00:00:26.300
the fastest 10-minute podcast that is just covering all things SEC.
9
00:00:26.879 --> 00:00:28.199
And we've got a good one for you today. We've
10
00:00:28.239 --> 00:00:30.500
got some new rules and some breaking news out of
11
00:00:30.539 --> 00:00:33.259
the SEC that was just reported from Pete Thamel. We'll
12
00:00:33.280 --> 00:00:35.799
talk about that. And we'll also talk about our SEC
13
00:00:35.840 --> 00:00:37.740
power rankings. And tomorrow, I think we're going to have
14
00:00:37.759 --> 00:00:39.079
a video. I think we're going to have an intro
15
00:00:39.100 --> 00:00:41.380
video like a real podcast. I appreciate you guys for
16
00:00:41.420 --> 00:00:43.820
listening and watching. Make sure you like and subscribe. I
17
00:00:43.840 --> 00:00:45.619
really appreciate it. We do it every single day of
18
00:00:45.659 --> 00:00:49.100
the week, Monday through Friday. It'll be out at 7
19
00:00:49.100 --> 00:00:51.200
to 8 a.m. in the morning. And it's the fastest
20
00:00:51.200 --> 00:00:54.009
10 minutes of everything you know at the SEC. So
21
00:00:54.020 --> 00:00:56.590
let's get started with today's show. Let's start with the
22
00:00:56.670 --> 00:01:00.149
news that just broke. SEC presidents approve a uniform NIL
23
00:01:00.289 --> 00:01:03.689
rev share contract. Now, what does that mean? Great question.
24
00:01:04.799 --> 00:01:08.680
Pete Nacos reports that the NIL and revenue share contract
25
00:01:08.760 --> 00:01:12.159
includes adjustable components, but it has been agreed upon to
26
00:01:12.200 --> 00:01:16.829
have a uniform NIL and rev share contract across the SEC.
27
00:01:16.930 --> 00:01:20.069
Right now, the Big Ten is the only other conference
28
00:01:20.090 --> 00:01:23.230
that that has a uniform rev share contract. You're seeing
29
00:01:23.370 --> 00:01:26.450
an alignment start to happen between the two biggest conferences
30
00:01:26.870 --> 00:01:29.189
for things to open up down the road. You're going
31
00:01:29.209 --> 00:01:31.150
to see a 2014 playoff probably announced later this week.
32
00:01:31.530 --> 00:01:34.849
People have said before that happens, you are starting to
33
00:01:34.909 --> 00:01:39.569
see some similarities and parallels and alignment between these two
34
00:01:39.769 --> 00:01:42.939
powerful conferences. Now, while that vote took place, it says
35
00:01:42.950 --> 00:01:46.079
the president's also tabled a vote in whether to reimplement
36
00:01:46.120 --> 00:01:50.939
its intra-conference transfer policy as on three previous reported, the
37
00:01:51.099 --> 00:01:53.739
SEC was considering going back to what the rule used
38
00:01:53.780 --> 00:01:55.900
to be just about six, seven years ago, I believe,
39
00:01:55.920 --> 00:01:58.560
I don't even mean sooner, where you were not allowed
40
00:01:58.900 --> 00:02:02.379
to transfer from an SEC school to an SEC school
41
00:02:02.719 --> 00:02:06.750
without sitting out a full year. Now, if you do that,
42
00:02:06.980 --> 00:02:09.210
here's what's going to happen, in my opinion. This is
43
00:02:09.250 --> 00:02:11.270
why I don't think it's ever going to be approved.
44
00:02:11.330 --> 00:02:12.849
It would be a great step in the right direction,
45
00:02:13.210 --> 00:02:14.509
but I think what you have to do is have
46
00:02:14.530 --> 00:02:20.009
a universal and uniform policy across the entire landscape of
47
00:02:20.069 --> 00:02:22.030
not just the Power Four, but also FBS and say,
48
00:02:22.509 --> 00:02:25.330
if you are going to transfer, what has to happen
49
00:02:25.389 --> 00:02:27.539
is you get one free one. You get one free one.
50
00:02:27.560 --> 00:02:29.219
And after that, you got to sit out a year.
51
00:02:29.340 --> 00:02:31.780
Because if you don't do that, what you're also saying
52
00:02:31.879 --> 00:02:34.199
is you can do this thing where you transfer every
53
00:02:34.240 --> 00:02:37.639
single year. And like Bear Alexander, who's out at Oregon,
54
00:02:37.680 --> 00:02:40.060
this is the first stop he's had in back-to-back seasons
55
00:02:40.080 --> 00:02:42.490
that are the same. Um, to me, what Dura Jaya,
56
00:02:42.530 --> 00:02:44.889
who's a defensive lineman in South Carolina, he's in year five.
57
00:02:44.909 --> 00:02:47.490
He's at his fifth different school. TJ Finley is the
58
00:02:47.650 --> 00:02:48.870
one with all the memes that kind of make fun
59
00:02:48.889 --> 00:02:50.330
of it. This has been an issue going on and
60
00:02:50.349 --> 00:02:53.560
on and on. And it doesn't really, there's nothing about
61
00:02:53.590 --> 00:02:58.460
it that makes you think, Hey, this is fun, stable,
62
00:02:58.879 --> 00:03:01.120
good for the player. Now they should be allowed to
63
00:03:01.159 --> 00:03:03.900
chase money and get paid, whatever, especially for some of
64
00:03:03.919 --> 00:03:05.439
the players that know that they don't have a chance
65
00:03:05.460 --> 00:03:08.199
to make the NFL. But it's still bad for the sport.
66
00:03:08.300 --> 00:03:11.139
And so having this in place where it's uniform across
67
00:03:11.159 --> 00:03:14.080
the entire landscape of college football, not just the SEC,
68
00:03:14.419 --> 00:03:15.560
I think would be great. I think it'd be a
69
00:03:15.639 --> 00:03:18.680
great step in the right direction to say you have
70
00:03:18.699 --> 00:03:20.419
to sit out a year after your first transfer. Now,
71
00:03:20.580 --> 00:03:23.280
if you do it just in the SEC, that is
72
00:03:23.319 --> 00:03:27.729
a massive, massive bad decision. Because what's going to happen
73
00:03:28.169 --> 00:03:30.469
is you're going to see players who are unhappy with
74
00:03:30.490 --> 00:03:33.229
their current playing time, former five stars, good players, guys
75
00:03:33.250 --> 00:03:34.370
that are going to hit the portal no matter what.
76
00:03:34.819 --> 00:03:36.699
guys that are being recruited to go somewhere else no
77
00:03:36.719 --> 00:03:40.180
matter what. So if I've got a kid that is–
78
00:03:40.539 --> 00:03:43.099
I'm trying to think of a good example here. If
79
00:03:43.139 --> 00:03:46.240
I've got a guy, Deuce Knight, the backup quarterback from
80
00:03:46.900 --> 00:03:49.699
Auburn last year that went to Ole Miss, right, former five-star,
81
00:03:49.960 --> 00:03:55.000
highly ranked recruit, somebody like that. There's Prince Noel Umami-Ellen,
82
00:03:55.370 --> 00:03:57.849
kid that went from Ole Miss to LSU. What's most
83
00:03:57.930 --> 00:04:01.129
likely going to happen if somebody– and maybe Umami-Ellen is
84
00:04:01.150 --> 00:04:02.960
not a good example because he followed his old coach–
85
00:04:03.169 --> 00:04:04.969
But you've seen it time and time again where players
86
00:04:05.009 --> 00:04:06.750
go from one school to the other in this league.
87
00:04:06.849 --> 00:04:12.080
Lance Heard, LSU, Tennessee, Kentucky, right? And if you do that,
88
00:04:12.180 --> 00:04:14.580
if you take that away, what's going to happen is
89
00:04:14.620 --> 00:04:17.240
a mass exodus of some really good players who are
90
00:04:17.259 --> 00:04:19.439
going to go play in the Big Ten or the
91
00:04:19.459 --> 00:04:22.300
Big 12 or Texas Tech or Oregon or Ohio State
92
00:04:22.379 --> 00:04:25.040
or whatever because they're going to get paid to go
93
00:04:25.060 --> 00:04:27.930
to those places. So I don't think that strengthens the conference.
94
00:04:27.959 --> 00:04:29.949
And I think the biggest thing you're trying to do
95
00:04:30.009 --> 00:04:33.290
here is probably strengthen the conference. And so That is
96
00:04:33.350 --> 00:04:35.310
something I don't think that's going to pass. I just
97
00:04:35.329 --> 00:04:37.290
don't think it's going to pass. Also, I got contacts today.
98
00:04:37.310 --> 00:04:38.970
I keep touching my glasses like I'm trying to push
99
00:04:38.990 --> 00:04:41.029
them up because I haven't had contacts in like two years.
100
00:04:41.110 --> 00:04:43.550
So bear with me on that. The other thing I
101
00:04:43.569 --> 00:04:46.949
want to talk about, power rankings. We redid the power
102
00:04:46.990 --> 00:04:51.500
rankings from today or for week seven. They came out today.
103
00:04:52.329 --> 00:04:54.540
Go read it at LouisianaSports.net. We do it every single Monday.
104
00:04:55.000 --> 00:04:56.839
Tomorrow will be the quarterback rankings. But here are the
105
00:04:56.879 --> 00:05:01.420
power rankings that I have for this week. I'm biased, admittedly,
106
00:05:01.759 --> 00:05:03.699
but I think they're pretty dang good. I think they're pretty,
107
00:05:03.959 --> 00:05:07.759
pretty good. That is not, that's the one. Here we go. Um,
108
00:05:08.439 --> 00:05:10.680
let's get this off the screen. Look at me go.
109
00:05:10.759 --> 00:05:14.490
Here we are. Now here are my week seven power rankings. Um,
110
00:05:14.519 --> 00:05:17.209
and I'll walk through my explanation of each of these, right?
111
00:05:17.230 --> 00:05:20.490
Cause there was movement everywhere except for Arkansas because Arkansas
112
00:05:20.509 --> 00:05:23.730
sucks and they're terrible. Um, let's start at the top Georgia.
113
00:05:23.870 --> 00:05:25.769
It's I think the title of the article was it's
114
00:05:25.870 --> 00:05:28.269
Georgia and everybody else. And I think that's a very,
115
00:05:28.569 --> 00:05:32.360
very fair place to start. Um, After them, I put
116
00:05:32.540 --> 00:05:35.579
Bama up. Last week, I had Bama at three. I
117
00:05:35.620 --> 00:05:37.480
had Georgia at two, and I had Texas at one.
118
00:05:37.560 --> 00:05:40.899
I said it felt like Texas was not better than Georgia,
119
00:05:40.980 --> 00:05:42.459
and if they had to play on a neutral field,
120
00:05:42.600 --> 00:05:46.509
I think that Georgia would beat them. After last week,
121
00:05:46.529 --> 00:05:48.490
and obviously after this week, I think Bama would probably
122
00:05:48.509 --> 00:05:51.930
beat them as well because they've had struggles. But I
123
00:05:51.970 --> 00:05:55.569
also believe in on-field things having to matter, and Texas
124
00:05:55.769 --> 00:05:58.310
beating Ohio State, Texas going on the road and beating Tennessee,
125
00:05:58.329 --> 00:06:01.930
and Georgia two of your four games, so half of them,
126
00:06:01.990 --> 00:06:04.029
coming against ranked opponents and you winning both those, I
127
00:06:04.050 --> 00:06:07.430
think that is a really strong statement from Texas. And
128
00:06:07.470 --> 00:06:10.110
at the time, Georgia hadn't played anybody. So I stand
129
00:06:10.149 --> 00:06:12.560
by that decision of having them number one. They had
130
00:06:12.579 --> 00:06:14.279
the most impressive win of anybody in the country. They
131
00:06:14.339 --> 00:06:19.339
still do, really, over Ohio State. Now, after them, I
132
00:06:19.360 --> 00:06:21.480
put Alabama at two. And I put Alabama at two
133
00:06:21.560 --> 00:06:24.220
more so because I think they're better than Texas. And
134
00:06:24.240 --> 00:06:26.230
I know they lost, and it's kind of hard to
135
00:06:26.259 --> 00:06:28.029
say they should move up with a loss, but I
136
00:06:28.050 --> 00:06:30.819
think anybody that watched that game Probably feels the same way.
137
00:06:30.939 --> 00:06:32.579
If you're talking about the best teams in this conference
138
00:06:32.600 --> 00:06:35.600
right now, right now, based on what we have seen
139
00:06:36.579 --> 00:06:39.800
on the field so far this season, I think you'd
140
00:06:40.339 --> 00:06:42.959
be hard-pressed to tell me there's a team better than
141
00:06:43.000 --> 00:06:44.879
them at number two. So I would have that in there,
142
00:06:44.899 --> 00:06:46.600
and I feel pretty damn confident about that as well.
143
00:06:47.459 --> 00:06:50.620
Ole Miss at three, listen, horrible loss to Florida, but
144
00:06:50.639 --> 00:06:52.319
they went on a bye week. They found themselves. They
145
00:06:52.339 --> 00:06:54.259
went and played a band team on the road and
146
00:06:54.339 --> 00:06:56.540
beat the daylights out of them. And here's what I
147
00:06:56.579 --> 00:06:59.240
liked most about that. Good teams don't play with their food.
148
00:06:59.769 --> 00:07:01.860
and Ole Miss went up there, and they were up 42-3.5.
149
00:07:01.930 --> 00:07:04.209
If you listened last week on the Friday show, we
150
00:07:04.250 --> 00:07:06.160
gave out our best bets, and it was my lock
151
00:07:06.180 --> 00:07:08.100
of the week, which is now 8-1 on the season,
152
00:07:08.480 --> 00:07:10.639
that Ole Miss 9.5 was the best bet of the week,
153
00:07:10.660 --> 00:07:14.379
hands down. Texas dropping to four. Texas dropping only five
154
00:07:14.420 --> 00:07:16.319
spots in the AP poll after losing to an unranked
155
00:07:16.339 --> 00:07:20.680
team is kind of BS, but still very impressive resume.
156
00:07:21.279 --> 00:07:22.810
After this is where it gets a little bit dicey,
157
00:07:22.819 --> 00:07:24.649
because if you're watching right now and you're basing it
158
00:07:24.689 --> 00:07:28.529
off of week to week, right now I feel like
159
00:07:28.569 --> 00:07:32.139
Missouri– should be ahead of Mississippi State. But there's a
160
00:07:32.160 --> 00:07:33.879
problem with that, and that is that Mississippi State beat
161
00:07:33.899 --> 00:07:38.019
Missouri just like three weeks ago. So I can't, in
162
00:07:38.060 --> 00:07:40.939
good faith, take them out and put them behind Missouri,
163
00:07:41.079 --> 00:07:43.550
no matter how impressive Missouri's last two wins have been.
164
00:07:43.689 --> 00:07:46.430
And I will also say this, Missouri's last win against
165
00:07:46.490 --> 00:07:47.990
A & M came against a bad A & M team.
166
00:07:48.089 --> 00:07:49.930
They're just not a very good football team, especially right now.
167
00:07:50.389 --> 00:07:52.310
So I'm fine with that five and six. You can
168
00:07:52.350 --> 00:07:54.509
kind of interchange them. This is also where it gets
169
00:07:54.529 --> 00:07:57.410
a little bit dicey. Kentucky, by the skin of their teeth,
170
00:07:58.050 --> 00:08:02.810
is five and one, not three and three. Two overtime
171
00:08:02.829 --> 00:08:05.110
wins by one point. They deserve to be there, though. Again,
172
00:08:05.170 --> 00:08:07.540
the resume and the games on the field have to matter,
173
00:08:07.600 --> 00:08:09.740
and I stand by that. So I would put Kentucky
174
00:08:09.779 --> 00:08:12.420
at seven. Oklahoma jumps up a ton of spots from
175
00:08:12.420 --> 00:08:16.139
12 to four after their win over Texas because when
176
00:08:16.160 --> 00:08:17.399
you go out and beat the number one ranked team
177
00:08:17.480 --> 00:08:19.870
and you do it in the fashion they did it in, listen,
178
00:08:19.879 --> 00:08:22.449
they're clearly not a great team offensively right now. They've
179
00:08:22.470 --> 00:08:24.709
got a lot of room to grow there. But defensively,
180
00:08:25.050 --> 00:08:27.709
they have been Fantastic, and I don't know if you
181
00:08:27.930 --> 00:08:30.350
know this, but scoring points on defense and special teams
182
00:08:30.370 --> 00:08:32.350
still matters, and they were able to do that twice
183
00:08:32.370 --> 00:08:35.070
this weekend, and it helped them win in dramatic fashion.
184
00:08:35.210 --> 00:08:37.789
LSU dropping to nine. LSU could be four. I mean,
185
00:08:37.809 --> 00:08:41.830
LSU was four last week. I don't know how to
186
00:08:41.870 --> 00:08:46.529
wrap your head around what happened against Kentucky. I just don't.
187
00:08:46.750 --> 00:08:49.570
But they lost the game, and that's an inexplicable and
188
00:08:49.610 --> 00:08:57.080
inexcusable– if you are Lane Kiffin going into this year
189
00:08:57.100 --> 00:09:01.379
where you have this massive, massively funded roster. Tennessee at 10.
190
00:09:01.379 --> 00:09:03.779
I'm not going to drop them below South Carolina, who's 3-3,
191
00:09:03.820 --> 00:09:06.509
especially when they're 5-1. They're ranked in the top 20,
192
00:09:06.500 --> 00:09:09.259
and they went toe-to-toe with Texas as their only loss.
193
00:09:09.519 --> 00:09:12.259
But they've got some issues, and those were very, very
194
00:09:12.299 --> 00:09:15.379
much on display against Arkansas on Saturday in a game
195
00:09:15.399 --> 00:09:18.110
that they were favored by 13.5 and had to fight
196
00:09:18.159 --> 00:09:21.289
tooth and nail to win in a come-from-behind game. Carolina
197
00:09:21.330 --> 00:09:24.009
jumps up four spots. That's the Carolina we thought we
198
00:09:24.029 --> 00:09:25.870
were going to see. That's the Carolina we thought we
199
00:09:25.889 --> 00:09:27.750
were going to see, and now they go into a
200
00:09:27.789 --> 00:09:30.230
bye week, and now they can try to go be
201
00:09:30.250 --> 00:09:34.509
that Carolina the rest of the year. Listen, you look
202
00:09:34.529 --> 00:09:36.889
at the rest of the schedule for South Carolina. They
203
00:09:36.909 --> 00:09:40.519
get a bye week to get healthy. They get Tennessee
204
00:09:41.460 --> 00:09:45.419
at home. And Tennessee's got some problems, especially at quarterback
205
00:09:45.460 --> 00:09:49.000
right now because they're young players. You look at where
206
00:09:49.019 --> 00:09:51.779
they rank passing-wise. They're last in the SEC. Who would
207
00:09:51.820 --> 00:09:53.519
have ever thought a Josh Heupel offense would rank that
208
00:09:53.590 --> 00:09:56.399
far down in any offensive category, let alone passing yards.
209
00:09:57.080 --> 00:09:59.799
But I have them, they've had them first Then they
210
00:09:59.840 --> 00:10:05.440
have Oklahoma. Then they have A & M. Georgia, Arkansas, Clemson.
211
00:10:06.000 --> 00:10:08.580
Everyone on the end of that schedule besides Georgia is beatable.
212
00:10:09.100 --> 00:10:11.870
Everyone on that schedule is beatable. Like A & M
213
00:10:11.909 --> 00:10:15.230
is not very good. Tennessee's got some issues. Oklahoma clearly
214
00:10:15.269 --> 00:10:17.809
has some issues. That game is at Oklahoma though. Clemson
215
00:10:17.830 --> 00:10:21.220
sucks and Arkansas is terrible. So Don't count this team
216
00:10:21.279 --> 00:10:24.779
out yet at potentially getting to eight wins, potentially getting
217
00:10:24.799 --> 00:10:26.399
to eight wins. I know they're just trying to get
218
00:10:26.419 --> 00:10:29.679
to six. And then after that, Florida, I can't rank
219
00:10:29.700 --> 00:10:31.460
them behind Auburn, but they looked really bad the last
220
00:10:31.500 --> 00:10:33.990
two weeks. Auburn on a bye week. A & M,
221
00:10:34.000 --> 00:10:36.009
who's terrible right now. And then Vandy in Arkansas. That
222
00:10:36.049 --> 00:10:39.009
is all for the show. I appreciate you guys tuning in. Tomorrow,
223
00:10:39.029 --> 00:10:41.769
we will have quarterback rankings and much, much more. Appreciate
224
00:10:41.789 --> 00:10:43.429
you guys listening. Remember to like and subscribe. It helps
225
00:10:43.450 --> 00:10:45.389

y'all be safe, be good, be good to each other.
228
00:10:49.940 --> 00:10:50.669
We'll talk to you all then.
