I'm a little scruffy today, as you can see. I was out working out today and watching the game first on my phone and then the last three quarters. I'm sitting at home and Alabama's Alabama. I mean, I'm Nick saban to Kaylin de Boor is going to one of the all time
great pivots. And by the way, through the years, Ohio State's had some you know, great coach to great coach. Oklahoma's done it a few times, but even for the great programs like a Texas or a Michigan. Sometimes you have a great coach, then you give the job to his top assistant and it just doesn't go anywhere. You know.
I'm not a fan of that. I tend to be like, if you've created a legendary program, then you go, you know, Michigan, Ohio State and Oklahoma, USC Alabama certainly they're just too big to give to an assistant unless you have like a Steve Sarkesian, which Bama had for a brief time, but he went and took the Texas job. Right, So, Caitlin de Boorr is a phenomenal coach. He got Washington into a national championship game last year. Now, they had
some really good offensive pieces, Michael Pennix, the receivers. They didn't have NFL bodies on defense. Think how many great college football programs there's one hundred and thirty one hundred and thirty one. There's eight to ten stacked rosters every year, NFL bodies both sides. Washington didn't have that on the defensive side, and they played for a national championship and beat Texas badly in the semifinal game. So this guy is this guy is really really good. I think strategically
in player development. He is everybody as good as Saban. Now, Saban may be a better recruiter. Nick's got a certain persona. You see it on game day. I mean, Nick's great, the all time best coach, but I think you could have a best coach ever into best coach in college football with Kayln Dabor. I think that highly of him. And Jalen Milroll is a fascinating player. You know, I don't know if he's an NFL prospect. Here's what I know. He throws the prettiest, most accurate deep ball more consistently
than anybody right now in college football. And you know he's going to have you Ryan Williams on the other end of those things. So, but Bama Saban did something amazing, and Kaylan Borr, I'm sure i'll hit on it. Is that Nick did a really good job to pivot when defense was running the sport to offense. You know, Ohio State and Bama are wide receiver you right now, and Bama has always got guys on the other end can developed quarterbacks. Now they've won national titles with okay quarterbacks.
But the game is becoming NFL college more quarterback centric, more offensive and Kaylin de Moore. I don't know what Jalen Milroll is as as a pro prospect. I know as a college quarterback, he is exactly what Alabama needs. He's athletic in the SEC. Can't be a sitting duck in the pocket. The kid can move around and he throws a gorgeous deep ball. It's so pretty. And this
is a really good year for the SEC. In terms of quarterback play, I think the Big Ten stacked, but the quarterback play, you know, Michigan's going to be down at quarterback. I like Ohio State's quarterback, I like Oregon's, I like USC's. We'll wait to see on Washington to make a big judgment on them, but I think the SEC has got some really good quarterbacks and Jalen Milroll is one of those. You know, Wisconsin's in a really interesting spot, so I think the playoff is good for Wisconsin.
I think they need it because I never saw them as a playoff team having to go through Ohio State, Michigan, and Penn State, which always just recruited better place players than Wisconsin. The state of Wisconsin doesn't have many Division one guys. I don't know how many you have on annual year ten twelve, maybe Washington State maybe has ten to twelve. You've got to get a great coach and have big boosters in this era to get to a four team playoff with Wisconsin or a Washington you know,
level of in state recruiting. Now, Washington obviously has the advantage the proximity to California where they take half their class or more. So that's always boosted Washington significantly. But now Wisconsin. Now you add usc which has better players than Wisconsin. They play, that's the next game the Badgers play in a couple of weeks. And now you add ore agaon which because of Phil Knight, is infused with huge nil money, top five nil money in college football.
So now Oregon gets better players than Wisconsin and Penn State and Michigan and Ohio State on an annual basis, you know, whereas Wisconsin's going to sort of recruit in the Washington level. So then you get down to having the six or the seventh best roster on an annual basis. So I think it's gonna be, and I mean I truly believe. I had this conversation with somebody at the gym today that Notre Dame eventually, over the course of time, will join the Big Ten. I think the ACC is
gonna unravel. I think Florida State, Clemson, you know they're gonna head to the SEC. My guess is over time in Notre Dame. Academically, it's a good fit with a Big Ten. There's a lot of money in the Big Ten. I think they liked the Big Ten. Stanford thinks the Big Ten wants them. But what the Big Ten wants is Stanford level academics Notre Dame. But they want the football program and the identity and the marketing of Notre Dame. So could that's not gonna help Wisconsin. So Wisconsin's in
a tough spot. And you saw it today. There was two moments in this game that really defined Wisconsin. In Alabama end of the first half, Alabama has no time in the clock. Boom boom, boom, touchdown, three big plays touchdown. Because they have so many playmakers, they're an elite recruiting school. Wisconsin's most impressive drive was the seventeen play drive. And that's how Wisconsin doesn't have layer after layer of wide receiver running back talent, so they have to just pound
on you and lean on you. And a seventeen play try is great, but a seventeen play drive, how many times a game can you do it? How many times a year can you do it? You're going to have penalties. You know you're going to have fumbles. You want to be able at college and pro football to score multitude of ways. You want to be able to have a run game. You want to be situationally smart. You want
to be able to go over the top. And that's what the top programs in the country can do, the top seven eight nine programs can do because they have multiple playmakers. You know, they've got NFL bodies both sides. They've got I mean like Wisconsin may have at any one time a really good running back and a strong tight end. Okay, maybe one great receiver, your rollover cover, it's taken out of the game. So Alabama's ability to strike at the end of the first half, that's Alabama.
That's Georgia, that's Texas. That's what the top teams can do. That's Ohio State. Wisconsin doesn't have that kind of personnel, so they got to grind stuff out. And I think you ask a lot of a program when you have to score on long drive after long drive after long drive. So this game was you know, now Georgia is Alabama's next game. That's Alabama a couple of weeks to prepare play in Georgia. That's gonna be a good football game. That's a top three or four football game of the year.
Georgia plays Texas later, they play Alabama early, so Georgia is going to earn their way into that playoff. They could split those games on FS one. I have my big ten bets of the week. I really like the over in Bama Wisconsin today, and it hit. I think in the third quarter it hit. But I think I think Wisconsin's always been a really proud program, great fans, amazing support, tremendous athletic department, and Luke Fickel is more
than capable of winning nine ten games a year. But boy, you put them up even at home against an Alabama, it's a big gap, and I think you're going to see a gap like that, maybe not as great, but you're going to see a gap against USC and Ohio State. I think Penn State's got really really good defensive talent. It's gonna be hard to move the off of Wisconsin against the Nidney Allons. So that's what we got today
on Saturday. I'm gonna try to on most weekends give you a little updates and thoughts on what we're seeing. I know I'm a little scruffy today. Hey, you're tossing around iron.
