Clay Travis Show: Election Eve Bombshells, Alaska Ballot Controversy & College Football Chaos

Clay Travis (0:01)

Welcome in Clay Travis Show. Appreciate all of you hanging out with us as we are rolling through the Monday edition of the program. Right off the top, it is election eve. I have already voted. I will be emceeing Marcia Blackburn's election night party in Tennessee, in Nashville. I expect her to be elected the governor of Tennessee tomorrow night.

I want all of you to get out and vote.

Regardless of what part of the country you live in, tomorrow's turnout is going to decide a monumental amount of different races across the nation. I am going to be doing Marcia Blackburn's event. I'm doing a teller rally for Byron Donalds a little bit later this evening on the Panhandle of Florida, encouraging people in that part of the country where I spend a lot of time to get out and vote as well. But I want you to hear it from me. If you have not already voted, get out and vote. It's the 250th anniversary of our country. Giving your voice through the ballot box is the most patriotic thing you can possibly do.

And so I want all of you to get out and vote. And I will say that. And now we're going to jump into the fun and frivolity analysis of everything that took place over the weekend in college football and the NFL.

Right off the top, this is maybe the greatest week of college football regular season I have ever seen. And we're going to have a lot of fun on this program, talking about all the huge games coming up at the end of this week. I'm going to do a viewer guide. This is the week to get all of your chores done, to get all of your homework done if you're a kid out there, to get all of your assignments done. Put in the work Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, so that come Saturday morning, you can kick your feet up and you can do what I'm going to do, which is watch college football for 14 hours basically all day Saturday. One of the greatest cornucopias of college football excess that we have ever seen. By the way, my name is Clay Travis if I didn't say it off the top. We got the numbers for YouTube and Sport and State and everything else. This company is growing like gangbusters.

We grew 50 percent on this show alone, millions of video views just on YouTube. It doesn't count the millions and millions of video views on Twitter, Facebook, Instagram. We had a week last week where we had a million of show, Instagram, a million show clips, a million show clip on Twitter, nearly a million show clip on TikTok, nearly a million show overall day, which is huge on this program. We are blowing up everywhere. Everywhere I go now, people say, hey, I saw your video on social media where you were talking about A or B or C or D, we're everywhere and we are producing a lot of great content every single day. Thank you for everyone that is helping to grow this great new company, Sport and State, even though we're only two and a half months old, less than that. I am super impressed with how well things have gone. Okay, let's start with what I think was the biggest game of the weekend.

I hate to brag, hate to draw attention to myself, but I gotta tap the veins here. The blood bank guarantee is now seven and two on the year. That's a pretty extraordinary win rate. And I told you, you can go back and you can roll the tape. I told you that USC and Lincoln-Riley were not only gonna cover the seven points, I told you they were gonna win this game outright. They never trailed. They never were really in doubt at all. They were up 27 to nine early in this game, 20 to seven at the halftime. Ohio State gained a lot of yards, but could not get into the end zone early. They did not have a great opportunity for Jeremiah Smith to get down the field. USC took the top off the offense for Ohio State.

And they forced Ohio State to nickel and dime themselves down the field with a brand new freshman quarterback. And as a result, Ohio State, I believe, demonstrated this big thesis. I don't think there's a top ten team in the Big Ten this year. Now, I know Michigan, Ohio State and Indiana have won three consecutive national championships. And I know everybody has wanted to talk about how NIL fundamentally changed forever the overall power dynamics of this college football sport that we all love so much. I don't think anybody's any good in the Big Ten.
