00:06Does it feel fitting to you to
00:08see the Ducks as the short
00:10favorite to win the Big Ten
00:11entering the month of November?
00:12Absolutely. And and the only
00:14game outside of this one that I
00:15would say is a roadblock is the
00:17rivalry game just because it's
00:19Washington and they you know
00:21they hate each other. It's one
00:22of the hated rivalries in
00:24college football. From an
00:25offensive perspective, I don't
00:26think Wisconsin is going to
00:27provide much with brain lock.
00:29I think it's clear sailing in
00:31regards to that and there's no
00:32doubt in my opinion that Oregon
00:34would be in the Big Ten
00:35championship game in a couple
00:36weeks. Well, Oregon is minus
00:38900 on a book to make the title
00:41game. So yeah, the having the
00:43tiebreaker of Ohio State, they
00:45absolutely all signs point to
00:47them being there. What is still
00:50bothersome to me, you know, I
00:53we talked about this a few
00:54times, but preseason I expected
00:56Bama to beat Georgia and I was
00:57hoping I'd be able to better
00:58Georgia national title ticket in
01:00season Jack. I was expecting
01:02Oregon to be Ohio State and I'd
01:04bet Ohio State to win the Big
01:05Ten in season. Well, halfway
01:08there. The Ohio State number is
01:10truly preposterous. Yeah, the
01:12Buckeyes are minus 115 to make
01:14the title game. Okay, again,
01:17they still have to win today's
01:19game. The Indiana one is tricky
01:20but but still minus 115 to make
01:22it plus 165 to win it again.
01:25Oregon is minus 900 to make it
01:27and plus 105 to win it. If we
01:30get the favorites and we get
01:32Ohio State in Oregon in a
01:34rematch. I think the books are
01:36telling us that not only will
01:38Ohio State be favored in the
01:39game. They're not going to have
01:41that team laying any less than
01:43five six points in that rematch
01:46there, which is again pretty
01:48incredible to see here
01:50considering the way things are
01:52lining up right now. Let's
01:53think about last year in the
01:54final year of the Pac-12 the
01:57Ducks were a slight favorite in
01:58Seattle in the regular season
02:00matchup against UW and then
02:02we're a nine and a half point
02:03favorite for the Pac-12 title
02:05game in Las Vegas. Of course
02:07that Washington won outright
02:09Kev. I think it's a touchdown
02:10if these two teams play each
02:12other in Indianapolis. I think
02:13it's Ohio State laying six and a
02:15half or seven. It would be that
02:17based on the odds that we see
02:19now Ohio State's remaining
02:21schedule after today. They have
02:23Purdue a road trip to
02:25Northwestern second to last
02:26Saturday against Indiana at home
02:29and then the rivalry game that
02:30is the game. Kev you made this
02:33point last week as Penn State
02:34headed to Camp Randall to take
02:36on Wisconsin that game actually
02:38more impactful despite the
02:40headlines in the narrative than
02:42this week's game against Ohio
02:44State because if Penn State
02:45loses today, all right, they've
02:47got one loss. Maybe they don't
02:49reach the Big Ten championship
02:50with their college football
02:51playoff lives still very much
02:53their home game against
02:54Washington road trips to Purdue
02:56and Minnesota before they end
02:58the year back in State College
03:00against Maryland Penn State
03:02might lose this game today. And
03:03even if that's the case and they
03:05run their final for the Nittany
03:06Lions are in the college
03:07football playoff more than
03:08likely. Yeah, 100% I actually
03:10think incredibly the team that
03:11you we we have to try and figure
03:13out if Ohio State loses today.
03:15Yep, but beats Indiana neither
03:17team makes the Big Ten title
03:19game 10 and two Buckeyes 11 and
03:21one Hoosiers. How the committee
03:23handles that? Well, I Indiana
03:25still would have the inside
03:26track because wouldn't know Ohio
03:27State have two conference losses
03:29and Indiana would have one
03:31correct, but Penn State more
03:32than likely. Yeah, Penn State
03:34Oregon, but I would be some time
03:35right? Yeah, there would be some
03:36time. I mean, it's intriguing.
03:38I think if Ohio State loses
03:40today, they're done. I mean in
03:42terms of the conference, I think
03:43oh, yeah, stick a fork in them
03:45and then what would that line be
03:47if they ever faced Oregon and
03:48here's what's on tap for IU a
03:50road trip to East Lansing against
03:52Michigan State today. We'll
03:53break down that game in just a
03:55little bit. They then host
03:56Michigan. They'd be booked as a
03:58favorite in that one by week
04:00road trip to Ohio State. They
04:01end the year against Purdue.
