00:00Bob, do they have similar losses, or that doesn't matter?

00:03Why, what does it matter? They have two losses. Who cares?

00:07So it doesn't matter who you lose to.

00:07No.

00:08That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard.

00:09No.

00:09It is, undeniably, the dumbest thing I've ever heard.

00:14Hey, if I lose to Georgia or Eastern Bumble, it's all the same.

00:20It is.

00:20That is the dumbest thing.

00:22I know.

00:23No, no, no, Joe.

00:23You can say that.

00:24The dumbest thing.

00:25Listen, we see your list.

00:26So Alabama losing to FSU and Alabama losing to Georgia are the same?

00:31So let me ask you this.

00:32Are those the same things?

00:33I'll tell you this.

00:34Are they the same things?

00:37I'm just telling you.

00:37No, no, no, no.

00:38In college.

00:38Answer my question.

00:40No.

00:40And then make your bad point.

00:42No, because again, in college, we're talking about two.

00:45How about this one?

00:46Is Alabama losing to 5-7 FSU and Georgia the same?

00:52No, it's not.

00:52Oh, interesting.

00:53Then why is Miami losing to two unranked teams the same as Notre Dame losing to No. 7 and

01:01No. 10?

01:02Let me tell you something.

01:03Again, I'm a believer the way I do it.

01:05At the start of the year, a week one matchup really matters because you're getting the team's

01:09best shot.

01:10So I don't care that.

01:11That is also insane.

01:12It is.

01:13It's the truth.

01:14It's the truth.

01:15I mean, what a manic comment.

01:16If a team is in the top 10 at the start of the year, that talent-wise has six months

01:21to prepare for a week month.

01:23The Lions were 13 points in week one.

01:24They scored 44 on Thursday.

01:27If I had to figure out what's the best version of the Lions, it'd be week one.

01:30Okay, so let me ask you this.

01:31If the Lions lose to the Jets or they lose to the Saints, are we holding it against them,

01:37the fact that they lost to one of the worst teams in the NFL?

01:40Yes!

01:40Or is it a loss or loss?

01:42Yes!

01:42We grade it the same way.

01:44No, we don't!

01:44Okay, I do.

01:45When we're evaluating them, we do not.

01:47No, because again, the way I do it is, and I look at a team is, it's college football.

01:53Right.

01:53We're not talking about professionals.

01:55We have 42-point underdogs that cover in a given weekend.

01:59You see it all the time.

02:00It's not like the NFL, where you have the consistency from week to week to week.

02:05And even in the NFL, we see the elite teams like Green Bay, like the Eagles, like Kansas

02:11City, or who's the best team in the AFC.

02:14Miami, I'd lose on a consistent basis, Indianapolis.

02:18I mean, come on.

02:18It happens all the time.

02:20It happens all the time.

02:22There's parity.

02:23The bottom line is, Miami has two losses.

02:26Notre Dame has two losses.

02:27Notre Dame didn't beat anybody.

02:29Miami beat them head to head.

02:31They both play an ACC schedule.

02:33And it doesn't matter that Miami lost to a four-loss Louisville team or a four-loss SMU team.

02:40That's insignificant.

02:41That's...

02:42That's...

02:42That's insignificant.

02:43That's insane.

02:44Why?

02:46Why?

02:46They lost the head-to-head.

02:47Hold on.

02:48I get that.

02:49So, that is a...

02:50Joe.

02:52Joe.

02:52Notre Dame's the champion.

02:54Just give them the cut.

02:55Here we go.

02:55They lost the head-to-head.

02:56Joe.

02:57They lost the head-to-head.

02:58So, so...

02:59Head-to-head matters.

03:00I get it matters.

03:00Is that the only thing that matters?

03:02Yes.

03:02That's wrong.

03:03If we have...

03:04So, then why do they play 11 other games?

03:06They did, and it was a similar schedule.

03:08It wasn't!

03:09Okay.

03:09So, where is the quality win for Notre Dame?

03:12USC.

03:13Okay.

03:13By double digits.

03:15Yes!

03:15What?

03:15Whoa.

03:16Okay.

03:17That's not a good football team.

03:18Yes, it is!

03:19No, it's not.

03:20Yes, it is!

03:21Wait a second.

03:22Here it is.

03:23But, Joe, they're a top 16 team in the country.

03:25Okay.

03:25All right.

03:27USC is garbage.

03:28Not in my mind, Joe.

03:29USC is garbage.

03:30They lost the head-to-head.

03:30No, I know.

03:31I know.

03:31You bet against Lincoln every year.

03:33They lost the head-to-head.

03:34Sometimes it lands tails.

03:35Sometimes it lands heads.

03:37I get it.

03:37They lost the head-to-head.

03:38I understand that.

03:40And then they played 11 other games.

03:42That were meaningless.

03:43They beat 2-10 Syracuse.

03:45So, then what?

03:46They beat a 2-10 Arkansas team.

03:48They beat Navy.

03:49By a thousand.

03:50They beat NC State.

03:51By a thousand.

03:52And so did Miami.

03:53By a thousand.

03:53And so did Miami.

03:55No.

03:55Miami beat Pitt.

03:56No.

03:57Miami was throwing touchdowns with eight seconds on the clock against Pitt.

04:01They're a clown show.

04:02Did Notre Dame play Vatec?

04:04No.

04:04Okay.

04:05So, there's another win.

04:06I'm just saying.

04:07Vatec is awful.

04:08Well, there you go.

04:09They still beat them by 17 on the road.

04:11They didn't cover.

04:12Oh, okay.

04:12It was on Vatec.

04:13All right.

04:14All right.

04:14They didn't cover.

04:15So, what is it about?

04:16Why do you always walk in the doors during these things?

04:18Where's the quality road win for Notre Dame?

04:22Joe, where's the quality road win for Miami?

04:25Well, Vatec isn't bad.

04:26Are you nuts?

04:28No.

04:28I mean, really.

04:29I mean, really.

04:30Listen.

04:30Every time you do this, it ends like this.

04:32The bottom line is a head-to-head.

04:34Hey, everything he says next is to sell me something.
