That's right, we got ranked on ranked on ranked on ranked. We got power conference on power conference. A lot of these warm up games are out of the way. It's time for you to show us what you've got. And unfortunately, we've got to show you what happened last week. Okay, let's fire it up so that then we can get it out of here. It is the recap of last week's action. Bud Elliott, four and five week for you. Yeah, four and five week for you. The wins were Louisville minus one and a half, Florida minus two and a half, FIU plus seven and the Virginia Tech, Maryland over 53 and a half. The losses were North Carolina plus three and a half, Coastal plus five, Arkansas State plus 20, Stanford plus 10 and a half, and the Troy, Missouri over 49 and a half. Notes from the week.

Bud Elliott (1:43)

Yeah, so all four of the winners were pretty rocking chair easy.

I mean, Coastal, dude, like those fumbled punts just killed us. I bet that again, for sure. Stanford, clearly the wrong side.

Troy, Missouri, which is kind of a slog. I did not see that coming. Arkansas State just couldn't get us one score. Their defense played pretty well overall. Guys, I don't really like this three-star lock thing, but I do like it for this year.

Chip Patterson (2:15)

It's saving your ass.

Bud Elliott (2:17)

I mean, look, guys, Tommy 10-Gallon hat over here is having a pretty decent year except for these three-star locks. It is saving my ass.

Chip Patterson (2:27)

Yeah, 16 and 13 on the season, but leading the way up 7.7 units thanks to the three-star locks, which you are 3 and

I mean, I was just going to tell you, Chip, Danny, Tom combined and 9 on the three-star locks. So it's hurting us. Four and five week for me pushing money on the round of the table, except for the big old three stack I had on Nebraska first half team total. But let's talk about those wins. Alabama team total over 33.5, that's a win. USC Rutgers over 59.5, that's a win. Georgia minus 24.5, that's a win. UTSA Texas first half under 31.5, that's a win. Picked up a loss on that SMU Louisville first half under 30.5, picked up a loss on the under 43.5 in Carolina Clemson. App State team total over 34.5, a loss. And then we mentioned the Nebraska team total. App State, we discussed this, I think on the instant reaction show, the game barely got started, it seemed, by the time the instant reaction show was going, whatever, that's going to happen. SMU Louisville was way off, that no one wanted, that was a game that absolutely lived up to the high total that it had. Four and five for me, 12 and 18 on the competition for the season. Four and five also is going to be the record for Danny Kanell coming in with Willie Fritz in Houston plus the eight and a half. Also cashing that Ole Miss plus two and a half, Arizona State minus four and a half. And the UTSA, first half plus 17 and a half. Losses were the Houston, Texas Tech under 52 and a half, the Florida, Auburn under 53 and a half. He was also with me with the Carolina Clemson under and then Kansas State minus 20 against Tulane was your three star, UTEP Michigan under. Also did not cash due to Michigan's offensive explosion.

Danny Kanell (4:20)

Yeah, Michigan caught fire, did not expect that. Kansas State, Tulane kind of started off on the wrong foot and then it looked like Kansas State was going to come back, make me look good. Did not do that. The UNC Clemson was one of the worst beats we've had of the season so far. If you watch the way that one unfolded with the late touchdown, that one sucked.
