00:00Back of the day with BCS and then, you know, with the with the smaller CFP, it felt like
00:20people would always argue, man, you got to have the the big time programs involved, like
00:25nobody wants the smaller program coming up and invading this 14 CFP or invading the BCS
00:32with the expanded CFP. Do you think college football is rooting for or against the idea
00:38of a team like an SMU making some sort of a run here in the playoff?
00:43Well, to this point, I think people have have liked that those teams can get in now. That's
00:49the single biggest difference. Four teams to 12 teams is that it's not just Alabama,
00:55Ohio State, Georgia, Clemson. We've got Arizona State, we've got Boise State, we've got SMU,
01:01the whole country is represented. So now that that's happening, I would think there's going
01:07to be a little bit of March Madness mentality of you want to see the quote unquote Cinderella's
01:12advance. I don't other than Boise, I wouldn't necessarily consider these teams to be Cinderella's
01:18like, you know, George Mason in basketball. But it's it's similar. It's a similar feeling
01:24because we're so used to a small select club of teams contending for the national title.
