CFP Bracket Predictions Ahead of FIRST Rankings | SEC Misses on First-Round Byes. | Transcript:

Here is my painting. Alright? The first part was the easiest. So, where do I begin with what I know? I know Miami is in. Yes. Miami is in. They're already scheduled, they're in. Now, Miami can decide if someone else can enter, such as Wake Forest or SMU. That. that could happen. They could allow another ACC team to enter the fray. But Miami is in. And I begin.now I begin with my other. my other certainty. TRUE. My other certainty is that Oregon State or Boise are in. Yes.

Jalen La'Gree, people don't see him as one of the best catchers in the country. Get 100 yards in every game. They can score points by the ton. I have Oregon State at number 12. I guess you have Boise State at number 12. Most people will have Boise State. I have Oregon State. Alright. This is what I did next. I just want everyone to see this. I went to the old school. You did it. So I went with the Big 12. I'm saying BYU and Utah are going to be in. Now, I say that Oklahoma State, Texas Tech, and Houston have a chance to get in. So, which ones do I want to include? I'm going to put BYU and Utah. The others are definitely in my plans. So, BYU and Utah are in. Big 10.

This is what I know. Alright I know UCLA is going to be in. You heard me. Yes. I'm 100% sure that UCLA is going to. I. I like that. I'm not going to pressure you about that. sure. After that, I'm sure about Indiana. I saw their schedule at the end of the season. Yes, I've seen it. You want to be them. You definitely want to be them. And then I put Ohio State in because of history and.and.and I just think they're good enough and they'll probably find a way. But no.I don't feel safe about it. So I have three Big 10 teams that I'm including. Uh.I have two other Big 10 teams and three more. Wisconsin, Iowa, and Northwestern, which I am considering. Alright And in the two-point range, they're in.

Wisconsin and Iowa play each other. We're talking about having that debate. tell you. First of all, look at that board over there. God. Look at that leaderboard in the standings. Texas is number 11. Right now in the country. Texas is 11. This is what I want you to understand. They are tenth in the SEC rankings. It's crazy. They are tenth in the SEC rankings. in the SEC and eleventh in the country. This conversation would be completely different in two weeks. Georgia-Florida is the only thing that changes things. If Florida wins this week, it will remain very much a part of the conversation.

I think they're already part of the conversation anyway. But you have LSU, Georgia, Florida, Ole Miss, Kentucky, Bama, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Texas. I haven't the slightest idea. But you know what? From what I've seen, I showed them in my bracket, I think at LSU. I believe in LSU. They lost two games they could have won, but I'm just telling you how things are going. Kentucky, I want to be Kentucky, man. I like their schedule from now on. I believe they can, I believe they can achieve it. I think we all have faith in Georgia, in who they are and what they are, but they still have to go to Ole Miss, play against Missouri and against Florida. In other words, it will continue to be very, very difficult. But that's the

decision-making process. And with Ole Miss, I say: "Okay, they have Trinidad." So, I don't know. I don't know, I don't know.
