Because I think, Mike Ryan, you'll appreciate this.

The SEC and the ACC are very similar in the way they're beating each other.

But there's a different narrative with both of those conferences.

And so for me, I think the SEC is obviously going to get the benefit of the doubt.

And you might see teams like Tennessee, who has not beat anybody at all, find their way in a good position when they probably shouldn't be.

One, I know that me personally, I'm going to be miserable because this game is already ruining my life because I really think Iowa's going to win.

And when they don't win, it's going to kill me.

This is like a playoff elimination game of some sorts for Oregon.

Iowa, theoretically, if they win out the rest of the season, they should be in the playoff.

They probably will be in the playoff.

That's a stretch that I'm not really ready to take mentally and emotionally quite yet.

Yeah, if Oregon loses this game, which, by the way, this is a very, very weirdly good Iowa football team.

They're scoring a lot of points.

Their defense looks phenomenal.

Like if they lose, it's not a bad loss.

But Oregon, I do believe they still have Washington and USC left on the schedule.

Those are two teams that could really sort of help your case.

I think we're sort of in a little SEC bias mode again.

We're like Washington, Iowa.

These are teams that probably should be getting a little more praise than they are.
