What were the outcomes of the first round of the College Football Playoff?
Welcome back to the Bill & Doug Show. Doug LaMaurice and Bill Landis with a recap from round one of the college football playoff. Bill Landis, anyone playing in the first round looking like a natty contender?
I mean, I thought Oregon was coming in. I certainly don't feel different about that based off how they're playing right now. I don't know that I'm overly impressed with anybody else who won today. You know, I guess I'll give Ole Miss credit where it's due. We thought they might be in shambles and they weren't, but... Aside from that, no, not really.
Yeah. Are we mad? Is this going to be a mad show? Is this a mad James Madison and Tulane show? I just want to make sure I get a lay of the land before we really get into it. Are we mad or no?
Which teams showed potential as national championship contenders?
I'm not mad. No. I'm not mad, though. All right. We'll see if anyone's mad. This is my alternate life as a random news reporter at Random News Station X, reporting live from random place saying random things. I don't want to be mad.
Is that a black suit or a navy suit?
It's just a blue blazer. and a light blue tie. Yeah. Yeah. The suit I have is like from 1989 and is like, like is gigantic and looks like I would wear it to the NBA draft in 1993. So I have to wear a blazer. So I, so let's start with the Miami hurricanes who defeated the Texas A&M. Is it aggies? I believe it was in their nickname. This is the team that's going to play Ohio state in the cotton bowl. It was windy. at that game. I guess it was so windy. Nobody could throw a pass except to the other team when it mattered, but Miami's defense did Miami's defense peak your interest in a way bill Landis that should peak the interest of Ohio state and Ohio state fans going into this cotton bowl.
Yeah, I think a little bit. Not in a surprising way. I know I certainly, when I was looking sort of at the lay of the land for Ohio State, I took note of the fact that both A&M and Miami have pretty good pass rushes. And coming off of what we saw from Ohio State against Indiana, that felt like probably an area that we'd be focusing on, no matter who won that game between Miami and A&M. And then I would say that Miami's pass rush certainly showed up more than A&M's did. I don't think like... miami's defense was overwhelming i actually thought there were some moments where marcel reed had some guys open in the drop back game and just missed them like he couldn't really throw anything accurately that wasn't a screen to the outside so um but no they look formidable like those guys up front are the real deal akim mesador and reuben bain were kind of unblockable uh for a m or against a m uh this afternoon so that'll be uh a
most I think of what we talk about as we talk about Ohio State Miami going into the Cotton Bowl I don't know I think Miami's defense overall is very good you look at like a lot of look all the numbers there they basically come out as like the second best defense Ohio State well played this year behind Indiana um
How did Miami's defense perform against Texas A&M?
So there's more to get into than just what's going on on the defensive line, but that will be the focus for sure.
And we certainly will have the opportunity, and we certainly will do that, to break down Ohio State and Miami from every angle. Before we get to the Cotton Bowl, the PFF grades that are out at the moment, Akeem Mesidor, 11 pressures, Ruben Bain, 7, which is just an unbelievable... I don't even know if that sounds like that could be right, but that's just almost creating a non-functional offense for Texas A&M. If you are having your guys...
get after the quarterback to that extent right I mean they were doing that but man those numbers are overwhelming yeah I think Miami finished with was it seven seven sacks probably should have been more Marcel Reed probably stepped out of two or three of them um Because the other thing with A&M is they were talking about it on the broadcast. I think that's the most veteran offensive line in the country. All of their offensive line starters have started at least 26 games. I think most of them started more than 30 games.
