We've got a 12-team playoff system.

I think 24 would be best.

If we get to 16 or 18 or wherever it lands,

I think to be able to step back, take a picture, and understand that sometimes things aren't always done the right way and to adjust them, I think, is everything.

I think as men, we always pride ourselves on a lot of things that we go through.

I always say the pride always comes before the fall.

We just got to realize what we're doing, how we're doing it.

Ruthie, you bring up a great point.

These are two guys that are obvious to the outside world.

And why they should be there, well, for it to not happen within the world that matters is probably screaming that something's got to happen, right?

Hey,

the day I tell him all the time tell him all the time before his time Ruthie he came way before his time right like I just it's insane to think about but also like in our program there are three driving factors every day when I walk in this building retention removal and acquisition right and and all three of them are pretty big right like I remember there's a good friend of mine Ted Kellner when I was at the University of Wisconsin he gave me a book called good to great right and there's

The line in that book, right, everybody thinks about getting the right people on the bus, but sometimes it's about getting the right people off the bus.

And I think it's equally balanced.

We've retained Matt Bailey and Xavier Scott, two of the best players not only on our football team, but I think in all of college football for sure in the Big Ten.

My number one priority when that last game was done was to retain those two guys, right?

And just like a year ago, to retain Gabe Ackes, to retain Melvin Priestley, J.C.

Davis, Luke Altmyer, all the guys that we're reading about in this year's NFL draft.
