What's going on? Everyone? Welcome into a post championship game edition of Snaps your new favorite college Football podcast here in the Volume Sports Podcast networking YouTube channel.

We're here on Amazon amp live right now. Shout out on Amazon for having us here. Uh and the reason why we are here, and we know look, we we love hanging out. It's been so much fun this stire football season. I'm Tiba by Bear, one of your hosts, joined by a resident bulldog, Aaron Murray. We will talk to Aaron, but we're also joined by our our our, our provider, the reason why we are here, the boss Man, Uncle Colin Cowherd. Colin, what's up? Man? Thank you so

much for joining us to night. It is a pleasure to finally have you here on the premier college football podcast. What's going on? Man? How we feeling night? Well? The Oregon Ducks said, Hey, TCU, this is what we ran into three and a half four months ago. So I mean Oregon and TCU, um, you know, really good programs with you know, really good players, um, just completely utterly overwhelmed.

And Georgia whatever you know. I said this last week, the SEC is the only conference where you can hire somebody. It may be a miss at Orgeron and he wins a natty if you if you're a Northern program and hire a miss you win four games. But you know Georgia's got more Sunday athletes and you can see it very quickly. Yeah, I heard you talking about the game before the game came out, and it's true. Man, I mean here on this show. You know, me and Avery

been chopping in this game. We've been looking for like individual matchups and which players are gonna mean the most. But like at the end of the day, it was never the micro right, Like the individual players did not matter. It was what we It's the macro, the blue chip ratio. Georgia has seventy seven percent of their roster made up before and five stars tc us. And look, that's not not everybody gets the most out of him because A and M has great talent vastly underachieved, right, there are

examples of that. But when you have a staff that maximizes great talent, you will beat a staff that maximizes lesser talent. And that's what you saw tonight, Aaron. How you feeling, man? The dynasty has begun back to back from no no, no, no, no, that the dynasty started years ago. We are in the middle of the dynasty and this actually maybe towards the more front end of the dynasty based on kind of what Kirby's building there uh in Athens. So yes, this is you are now

admitting that that the dynasty has begun. I have said it's started like three or four years ago. So but least you're you're using the word dynasty in Georgia together. That's all I wanted to hear after tonight before. I'm not gonna bash TCU because they don't deserved bashing. They had a heck of a season. Congratulations with them too, to get to this point, to beat Michigan, to be here,

to be that Cinderella story. You said it though, they're just they don't have the horses that Georgia has, and and and that was kind of our feeling heading up to this game, like we're trying to find every excuse possible. Why does TCU deserve to be here? Why did you know, what does TCU need to do to win? What does Georgia need to do to essentially screw this thing up

in order for TCU to win? And then if if Georgia showed up and played like Collins said, the way they played Verse Oregon or the way they played verse TCU, or the play that the way they played for Mississippi State or l s U. They were going to run them out of the building and it was gonna be a no contest by halftime. And and that's what it turned out to be. They got better players on both sides of the football. Stetson is a magician in big

time games. It's going to be the m v P four times and and all four playoff appearances in the past two years for Georgia. Uh, the defense reloaded, They're gonna be even better possibly next year. Uh, they're healthy at the receiving position. Bowers of that stud there's just too many good players. Um, too many guys, like Karl alluded to, they're gonna be playing on Sunday TCU. It's a good story. They got a couple of guys that are really really talented. They fight, they fight hard, you

give them that. But at the end of the day, it's a game of of of Jimmy's and Joe's and and right now Georgia has more than anyone else in the country. Well, and Colm, I think it's very appropriate that you open talking about Oregon right because this college season ended in the exact way that it began. Watching this U g A team dominate a very talented team,

but they've dominate and decimate on a national stage. And at the beginning of the year, we basically said, all right, this is Georgia announcing that they are a dragon of the realm, right, that they are one of the benefit of the doubt club. Doesn't matter what they lose, they will always be back. But we also said, how states there? Alabama's there. By the end of this season, it is clear they suffer no rivals. I mean they stand alone

in the mountaintop right now. Column. When you look forward into the future, do you see any particular hurdles to U g A having a Nick Saban Alabama esque run, Like, are they about to supplant them for the foreseeable future? Well, I think the three best teams I saw this year where Georgiabama, Ohio State, and Michigan. I still contend that Michigan beat themselves nothing against TCU, but they had more

first downs, more yards, more time of possession. They were just you know, you take a month off and Ohio State outplayed Georgia. Let's be honest about it. If if Harrison stays in the game, Ohio State may well have won. So you take a month off and you the tackling is bad, you can overthink the room. Um, I think Ohio State, had they beaten Georgia, would have whacked TCU.

But by that second game, okay, when you don't have a month and everybody's dinged out from the previous game, George is a little danged and tc then it's just down to athletes. It's it's that first game when you take a month off, that's you can stumble. You just you know what I mean, You just outthinks the NFL last year, Tennessee and Green Bay in the playoffs last year head buys and lost as number one seeds. So the thing that's crazy about college football is and remember,

here comes LSU with Brian Kelly. So so what's gonna happen here is l s U, Bama and Georgia. One of those will get knocked out. And it depends who's healthier later, who's getting better quarterback play. The best team may lose it. You know, Bowers gets hurt the week before the Bama game. Next year l s U, so I think those three plus Ohio State will probably be the teams in the foreseeable future. That vy now you know,

just the way it works. Texas and USC when they have the right coach, tend to catch up pretty quickly just because there's states, there's so many players like us see in one transfer Bordal this year already fixed their offense. It took one year. Now there's still two to three more transfer portals away from the defensive side. But the biggest roadblock for SEC teams will be SEC teams. So now Brian Kelly's absolutely outstanding. So what's gonna happen is

l s U, Georgia, Obama. One of those is gonna get knocked off every year, and it's probably the one that's a little dinged up at the end of the season. That's PROBB will probably be the wild card and all this stuff now all on that tabo real quick. Well, it's obviously Georgia as of right now, before the the the the mess of what they see I don't like gonna say mess, but the change of what it's gonna

look like. You know, when Texas Oklahoma would come over and and I think the goal is to go division lists at that point, you know, then things kind of get changed up, but right now, heading into the next season, when you still have the East and the West, at least Georgia doesn't have to worry about facing as I don't believe on their schedule either Alabama or l s U,

so they get to escape that. And in that situation, yeah, they could still lose to Posse Alabama or an L s UT an SEC championship game, and most likely with the resident that they put on the field for the past two years, if they're twelve and one similar to last year, they'll probably still end up getting into the playoffs because of the credibility they've built with two back

to back national championship. So um, I think more that scenario goes to when Texas and Oklahoma come in, then we kind of figure out, Okay, what's this gonna look like. But at that that time too, we're going to get to a twelve team playoff. And I do think that there's three teams right now when I look at college football, especially here in the SEC, that are going to be and should be based on the coaching staff, based on the talent on the roster, based on their ability to recruit,

should be in that twelve team playoffs. And Eario every year. And and that's Georgia, that's Alabama, and that's l s U. And and I think Georgia Alabama will probably be fighting for a national championship next year, maybe LSU because the fact that Jiden's back, and I think that kind of gives them the edge possibly over Alabama, who I don't know if I trust the quarterback on that roster right now, but George is gonna be contenders. Alabama, L s you

will probably be contenders next year. But going forward, like I said, I think in a twelve team playoff, those three are going to be in at the time. Now go ahead, yeah, I mean, twelve teams doesn't really change anything. Um, you know, you can add thirty teams. Your top three SEC teams are still going to dominate. Now. I do think Ohio State, you know, I thought I had predicted. I thought Ohio State Georgia would be very, very close, and I like the over. So in that game it

looked a little bit like I thought. Um, you know, I do think Ohio State can always play. I think Michigan doesn't recruit quite like Ohio State, but Hardball is such a unique coach and their physicality they kind of play an SEC style. They're very, very physical. I would have loved I thought Michigan was gonna end up playing in Georgia, and I thought Georgia would win. But I thought it would be. It would be it would look like, um, it would look like two teams with a lot of

NFL guys. But you know, Stetson Bennett I would trust in a big spot, j J. I wouldn't. Um so I mean tonight, you know, I just I think college football the issue it has had is regionalization. Like tonight won't get a very good rating. Um. It's huge in the South, big in the Midwest, almost irrelevant in the West. Now. UM, I do think Lincoln Riley is going to change that a little bit. L A likes its college football when it's winning. UM, but I don't think the playoff it doesn't.

I mean, listen, you can change the tax bracket in America. The richer still rich. They'll still have the best accountants, find the best loopholes, and have the best real estate. So you can change I mean, you could change a lot of things politically in this country. California's economy is still a monster, and can Tucky's isn't like there's some things that are just true. There are more great high school programs in the South, there are more great high

school athletes in the South. The region cares more to put more into facilities. And so I don't think. I mean, you go back fifty years, it's largely the same group of teams. You know, Oregon's emerged, but it's the same group of teams. No, I mean it's always basically yeah,

I don't know. I just I feel like with with you know, the emergence of of of n I L with the the the UH, the ability to now for more teams to to make the playoffs, there there is now any sense like I give Bryce Young as an example of the time, Like do you think Bryce Young grew up watching Alabama football? Probably not. What did you see? So Alabama as a team that's always in the playoffs? Alabamas a team that you can win individual a wards, you can win a Heisman, you can go the NFL,

you'd be a first round pick. That was the place to go. So I'm, you know, team I never grew up watching, but I know if I go across the country, I can go you know, acentually get all these things, let me go there and have success. If USC was the USC that is now with Lincoln Riley, with the success that they're having with winning with a thought of, you know, expanded playoff that my team could possibly get

in there. To me, that's a selling point for those teams out west of Hey, guys, you don't need to Yes, the Southeast has talent. We all know it's the most but they were getting that talent. Plus they were getting the talent from California as well, leaving that side of the country. Now all of a sudden, USC and Oregon in Washington can say, hey, yes, you don't need to go to Alabama, you don't need to go to Georgia.

You can stay home, you can get paid, you can play in the playoffs, you can play prime time and and and get all mostly everything and be answered to home when they go to a twelve team playoffs years, yes, they can reason the reason the twelve team playoff will actually benefit SEC teams more because what we'll happen is, I mean, now you've got to win three and four games in the playoffs. Well, that's just depth. So even if you do have good talent, USC has got some

nice nflers this year. They don't have an SEC team depth right now, So what the twelve team playoff will do. It's just more elite teams bashing into each other for three hours. So even if you do get an upset TCU beats Michigan, they'd have to go through three more SEC team Bama waits on the other side. Two lost Bama waits on the other side. So I think I think the twelve team playoff nothing will really change. Um, you know, set teams will you know, sometimes knock off

SEC teams, but there'll be another SEC team waiting. And I think when you get into playoff formats it can be hockey. This is why the Warriors keep winning championships. There's a lot of good teams here, but when Jason Tatum in the finals gets banged up a little, they don't have another number one score. The Warriors have Clay Thompson and f Curry and Andrew Wiggins. And depth in playoffs is the magic elixir it and nobody's got depth like Georgia and Bama and l s u Ohio State.

It's really really good players. They're pretty close, but they're not quite there. Yeah. I mean, if you just look at the blue Chips stuff that we were talking about earlier. Ohio State is the only one up there with the SEC team. Look, I think it's the reality of the sport. It's always been a sport of have and have not, like you said, Colm, and I know some people view inn I L as kind of a democratization of that, kind of a spreading of the wealth. I don't see that.

I see a concentration of the wealth because the programs already have most money and already had the most buy in, or that that's just building on top of itself. Now maybe okay, now we're getting really big pictures, maybe like Federal Congress steps in some sort of legislation, even the play I I don't know. I don't know, um, but the future remains bright if you are an SEC fan,

that is for sure. In a USC and some of the other age your powers and maybe the twelve team playoff allows for some fun around the edges, right like what you just saw TC you did this year. Now we're going very big picture here. I do want to talk about the game that we just witnessed real quick. Aaron, you've been very high on steps and Bennett, he now his career, Georgia is done back to back national championships, for playoff games, for m v P awards. What is

Stepton been its legacy? I think he's the greatest player in Georgia history. I've said for the past year that sets it as the greatest quarterback in Georgia history based on what he's done. And you know, this is a game where you know, stats are great, and abilities awesome and and and you know, we talked about guys like Staffords as maybe one of the best players of all times, you know, athletes and and abilities to throw the football, not just for Georgia history, but what we've seen even

the NFL for the past decade plus. But you know, to me, winning championships it kind of set you to a different level, especially the way Setsens played in those games. And I thought, honest, I thought Setsens played really well the past two years. In general, he has great stats. He's a little bit of a gun slinger at times, but overall he's got great sets plays well in big games. One an SEC championship, won two national championships, m vps

and all those playoff games that you alluded to. To To me, that was gonna be the conversation after tonight if they did win, depending on how well he played, where does he go? Not in the quarterback question, but in the overall Georgia football play question from from Herschel to hinds war too, you know, sink which and and so on and so forth. David Pollock, where is he in that conversation? Well, he's one more national championships than any of them. He's

one more m vps in any of them. I know he didn't win a Heisman, but he was also in New York this year as well. I kind of put champion you know how much I feel about championships. I put championships on a higher level. And I had a buddy of mine tonight texting me about this whole thing because he went to Alabama, and he's like, well, if that's the case, in a J. McCarran should be a

top guy because he won two national championships. But a J also didn't play to the level that Stetson has played for these past couple of years in these big time moments. I think that is what really separates him in these big games. He's been the MVP the football team. It hasn't been the defense. It's been Stetson Bennett as

the reason why they've won these national championships. So I to me, call me crazy because maybe I didn't grow up in the seventies and eighties, and maybe I didn't watch Herschel the way I've watched Stetson for the past three years. But I would say, in my opinion, sets and Ben is the greatest quarterback in Georgia history. And I would after tonight the way he played say Stetson Ben is the greatest Georgia football player of all time

as well. Well. It's interests that you mentioned mccaren thing there, Aaron, because the kind of dovetails with some of my notes here, as I haven't written. The quarterbacks get remembered for championships, right, but quarterbacks who dominate on that biggest stage become immortal. And you man, whether where there's a my Tana Brady, whoever it is, right, You have your Brad Johnson's, you have your trade deals, you have your guys who have

won a championship. But the ones who are at their best when it matters, most of the ones whose legacies get the the the highest juice from these sorts of games. Colin. What's the national perspective? Like, how do you view a guy like SAIDs has been It doesn't look like hill him out too much in the NFL. Just tied to Joe Burrow record tonight for touchdowns in a college football playoff game. Like, we got the Georgia local perspective. How do you feel Stetson should be viewed for what he

accomplished here? Well, I mean, we've had a lot of Charlie Ward, Tommy Fraser, Stetson Bennett are profoundly Tim Tebow great college quarterbacks. There's nothing wrong with that. College football has its own, um, massive industry. He's a college quarterback. Um. You know, some guys are built for college, some guys are built for pro. Um for people, Vince Young's the best high school football player I've ever seen. Vince Young is one of the five best college footballs I've ever seen.

He just didn't throw the right football in the NFL. It just didn't work on Sundays much. So I think Stetson Bennett nationally um the way people see Georgia. When you think of Georgia football, you think of defense, You think of Kirby Smart. You don't give offense so, I mean, you last year it was the best college defense I'd ever seen. This year wasn't quite as dominant. Still very good, but I think George's view is a defensive program with

capable quarterbacks. Almost like the beginning of Alabama's run, it was a defensive program. Now they've pivoted to more of an offensive program. Where if you remember back in the early days of saving at Bama, it was corners and linebackers. I mean, they just had pros everywhere. Now it's wide receivers, Like Georgia is now in that defensive mold there, and they've always had some good receivers. But I think Kirby smart.

I mean, they average forty points per game this year, I know, but they don't have an NFL star quarterback. So they're just like Bama. That the takeaway is next year, you the pack twelve has four NFL quarterbacks, and so it's like you could put all those guys at Georgia. You're just gonna win a bunch of games at Georgia. There's a million guys you could put there. You can put four guys in the Pack twelve with Georgia and

when the National Championship. But you, but there's not four defenses even close to Georgia out of a hundred and thirty one teams. So George's brand nationally, I'm just telling you how it's viewed nationally. It's very Alabama early. It's a defensive brand with capable non star NFL quarterback play. Uh yeah, and you know what, it works for Alabama and as I hate it, it looks like it's working

for Georgia. We'll see. Uh. I think I think Colin's exactly right earlier when he talks about Brian Kelly Ella Shoe being the next big Dogs and Black. I mean, I'm pretty I'm unbiased. You know, I don't have any l shu Gearhan. I'm like Aaron. I love it though, Colin, Hey, look man, this has been a ton of fun this entire fall for me and Aaron. We love each other, We love Brown, we love the entire team. Here the volume, doing the show. What do you think about Snaps? Man?

What's up? Boston Man talked to us on come on, give us some how we feeling about Snaps after year number one year? No, we love it so. Um. When I built the volume, um, you know, there were certain things that meant a lot of me. I'm an NFL, NBA college football guy, but so I searched the country and what I was looking for. If you go through the volume, we we have bait. Well we believe our brand is we're talking sports, but we wanted people that

had different angles on it. So I got ahold of your tape and I thought I had heard about you guys, but I hadn't seen you. And they said, oh, yeah, this is this guy, t Bob, He's a nut. And then Aaron Murray the college quarterback guy. So I thought, oh, so I get the state of Georgia. I got a bulldog quarterback and a crazy person from Louisiana. So then I saw the tape and I was like, oh, this is perfect. This is a big personality. You've got a

straight man, you got you got a crazy guy. And I was like boom, and so you know, we we. I always felt like I looked for a long time for an English Premier League podcast. I want the most tribal, passionate fans. And even though I'm a West Coast guy and grew with the Pac twelve, it's differ from the South because I lived in Tampa for a couple of years and I tell people and I went to four

or five SEC stadiums. I'm like, you know, Gainesville and Tennessee, and I'm like, if you've never been to I've been to Baton Rouge. I'm like, it's hard to explain. And so I think you guys are Literally it's my favorite college football podcast in the country. It's exactly what I want. Big personality, fun, make me laugh, make me think, uh, it's you guys have um it's you've been better than I thought. And when I saw your podcast, I knew it would work, but it's been better than I thought.

Let's go to all right, boys, Okay, just one word here. Next year doesn't have one. A couple of seconds here, saman Or smart. Next year, Colin, you go first? Well, you know, I want to see the quarterback play. I think next year one of the things about college football that's gonna be really apparent. There's gonna be like hen NFL quarterbacks in college football next year. Now they may not go first round, Jade Daniels one of them. It's gonna be a really, really good year for some quarterbacks.

So that will be a story early. Caleb Williams is obviously a ridiculous talent. Um. Yeah, he's really good. So I think one of the stories in college fob all next year will be a lot of really good quarterbacks as generationally we're getting this batch now of new kids who have grown up in seven on seven camps and are really good, like really good right now. That'll be a story. And then I think my my feeling is it'll be Bama Georgia whoever gets the elevated quarterback play

later in the year wins. Um both will have you know, they're both gonna be really good. It is interesting though, Um, Brian Kelly is gonna be a real wild card in this thing. He's gonna be a real wild card. I mean, you know, sometimes in the SEC, it's just scheduling, like if you have to play Auburn in the next week, l s U or you play you know, Florida in the next week. You know, I don't think Georgia in

Texas are going to ever win the SEC championship. But what's happening in the SEC here within the next couple of years is you know you're gonna face at one point back to back to back. Remember years ago when Saban lost the Johnny Manziel and the story and remember A and M got off to a huge first half, and that was the third straight game Alabama had played, and the team was just it's they were tired. I think you're gonna get in a couple of years with

the SEC with Texas and Oklahoma. They maybe B plus right now, But how many good teams can you play in a row that it's I mean, in the Big Ten, you get a lot of off months. I got Maryland, I got Iowa. You know you're getting. Don't don't don't don't tell, don't don't. Don't tell Joe Clapp that. Don't tell Joe Clapp that, don't get the schedule with him. He'll he'll, he'll have a heart attack right now. I mean that Big Ten schedule is a it's a doozy. Now.

Those those offenses really stress of defense out my goodness, as every Big Ten defense rings top ten in the country. Aaron Saber smart next year? I don't so may maybe because I followed Georgia football, Moore, I've been to a bunch of the practices and you obviously watching them this year. You know, Carson becks a stud. Carson becks a guy that could have been the starter two years ago, you know, just had a really bad Monday practice. Honestly, he was

supposed to be the starter. Doesn't come out there and play well on Monday practice. Debtson gets a job on Tuesday, sets and throws five touchdowns, and Kirby's like, well, damn it, I can't bench up now. You just threw five touchdowns. First, I believe you a b and then obviously led him to a national championship. Carson is the most talented quarterback on that roster. You talk about, you know, quarterbacks this beaning.

You know, if you don't have a quarterback, you're in trouble. Well, they got maybe the best quarterback that Georgia has seen in the past few years, and sets in Courson back along with Bowers and McConkie and Adie Mitchell back. They got a top you know, they got Rara from Mississippi State. They got a top kid from Missouri. They're very young on defense. To me, that team is returning a lot of really star players on both sides of the football. You look at Alabama, you know, we saw Jalen Milrod

play this year. I'm not too excited if I'm an Alabama fan. I know Tye Simpson is a young kid that was some good armed talent, still pretty young. You know, you lose Gibbs, you lose some receivers, you lose well Anderson, you lose you know, a bunch of guys, Brian Banch they lost. They're losing a lot of NFL talent, and and most importantly at the quarterback position. They have more holes to be filled than Georgia does. So for that alone,

I would say Georgia. But I'm with Colin. I kind of have L s U as the team when Jane made the announcement, I posted the video of it two three weeks ago. When Jada made the announcement that he's coming back to me, that shot L s U up as the favorites to win the SEC West next year. Yeah well, I mean, if you heard it from the football intelligentsia here on snaps, L s U National champions like your boys, I'd expect this talent show is gonna end, But hell yeah here we are. I love it. Hey, look,
