SPEAKER_1 (0:02)

Ring the bell, we are off to the races.

Cole Bryson (0:05)

The Upset Picks Challenge, it is open.

SPEAKER_1 (0:08)

The most exciting challenge on this station.

Cole Bryson (0:11)

No prizes, no trophies. I do this for pride.

SPEAKER_1 (0:13)

Every single week, every single college football season. Who will upset this weekend? That is your challenge.

Cole Bryson (0:21)

We need your name, the game and the spread.

SPEAKER_1 (0:24)

My husband got me into this challenge.

SPEAKER_3 (0:26)

Now my son is in it too.

SPEAKER_4 (0:28)

My pick, I'll take Arizona State over A&M.

SPEAKER_1 (0:30)

Give me the Tigers to get the upset, plus 13 and a half.

Cole Bryson (0:32)

It's not fair.

SPEAKER_4 (0:33)

I try and I try and my picks never hit.

SPEAKER_5 (0:35)

It just got too hard.

SPEAKER_1 (0:36)

If it wasn't hard, everyone would do it.

SPEAKER_4 (0:38)

Oh, but when you get one right.

SPEAKER_5 (0:41)

We are back, baby.

SPEAKER_1 (0:43)

We are back.

SPEAKER_3 (0:43)

Yeah, baby.

SPEAKER_6 (0:45)

That's what I've been waiting for.

SPEAKER_1 (0:46)

The text line, I mean, it's buzzing.

SPEAKER_4 (0:48)

We are back. We are back.

SPEAKER_3 (0:51)

It's hard.

SPEAKER_1 (0:52)

It's what makes it great.

Cole Bryson (0:53)

We are fired up. We are jacked up, ready to go.

SPEAKER_1 (0:56)

Who do you think gets the outright upset?

Cole Bryson (0:59)

You are looking for an underdog to outright win the game.

SPEAKER_4 (1:02)

So who is it going to be?

SPEAKER_1 (1:04)

I am so excited for Dan B to feel that feeling.

At some point this season, statistically speaking, it's got to happen, right, Dan? You got to hit on one of these at some point. Dan B, we love giving you our time because you do such an amazing job of helping us out with the Upset Picks Challenge. And guess what, Tolos? It is now open. You can send us your upset picks for week number 12 of the college football season. Who do you like to get the outright upset this weekend? And Tolos, if you've never played in this challenge before, it's okay. Jump in because you could make an epic run to the top 25 or beyond. Cole, have you, I'm gonna be real with you. I haven't even looked at the upset picks possibilities.

I don't necessarily have an early lean at this point.

Cole Bryson (1:55)

I've looked at a few. I'm just, I'm excited. You and I both hit last week, so we should be excited about that.

I've hit five times this year. Now, a lot of those spreads were minimal point spread, so hence why I'm not as high on the leaderboard as some.

SPEAKER_1 (2:14)

Well, it's part of the strategy, right? I mean, you go for the lower point spreads. It's more likely to happen, but it's not going to get you to the top of the leaderboard, or you go for the big swings, and anything can happen.

Cole Bryson (2:27)

Hey, real quick breaking news, literally in real time, Diesel. The number is 7.5 million. Breaking news from On 3 Sports, Camario Taylor is finalizing a $7.5 million deal to return to Mississippi State in 2027, making him college football's highest paid quarterback. Incentives in the deal that could potentially climb above $9 million.

That is now where we enter the territory of the quarterbacks are making more than the coaches. The highest paid quarterback next season as of right now, ladies and gentlemen, will be Camario Taylor of Mississippi State.

Think about that. Mississippi State pre-NIL, pre-Portal. Awful. Awful. And now they're going in the next season with the highest paid quarterback. Are you kidding me? Go on then for locking them up, I guess.

SPEAKER_1 (3:26)

And I'm curious, you know, Camario Taylor has been talking for weeks now. We've heard the stories, all the lead up to all these games. He loves Mississippi State. He grew up wanting to be a bulldog. He loves it down there. Was he really fielding some big time offers and thinking about no one elsewhere?

Did they pay him $7.5 million with incentives close to $9.5 million? Because they just appreciate who he is and what he's done for them, or because they thought there's a chance he might go elsewhere?

Cole Bryson (3:55)

That's a good question. I mean, look, I think him being from the state and him being the only person in the history of America that grew up wanting to play for Mississippi State matters. I mean, it does.

SPEAKER_1 (4:07)

True.

Cole Bryson (4:07)

I mean, it matters, right? It matters. But back to your original question, have I looked at some games?
