00:00Let's get to the ACC and the Big 12 again.
00:06A story around these Power Four Conference Championship Games.
00:10A newcomer in the league will play in all of the four.
00:15It may be SMU is new to the ACC, but SMU, Joe, is not new to winning conference championships
00:21as they did a season ago in the American.
00:25They were perfect 9-0 after the conference championship victory for Rhett Lashley and
00:31the Stangs.
00:32This year they enter the ACC title game in Charlotte on Saturday night.
00:37Perfect as well at 8-0.
00:40Clemson sending a bunch of bouquets and thank you cards to Syracuse, New York and Fran Brown
00:48because after the Orange upset Miami on Saturday, Clemson in to the ACC title matchup despite
00:54losing its regular season finale at home to South Carolina.
00:58That of course, a non-conference game.
01:01Two and a half point spread, Joe, in favor of SMU.
01:05For whatever weird reason, here in New York, it took forever to get this line available
01:11on the FanDuel Sportsbook, but once it came up, I have already made my wager.
01:16Mustangs minus two and a half.
01:18The total stands at 55 and a hook.
01:20What do you break down in terms of the ACC championship game on Saturday night in Charlotte?
01:27What I have is that this game in no way, shape or form is going to hit the under.
01:35This is an over or pass for me and when you said it, Rhett Lashley versus Garrett Riley,
01:42the offensive coordinator for Clemson, two of the fastest paced offenses who want to
01:48run as many plays as humanly possible, Ben, going at one another with two suspect defenses
01:55to say the least.
01:57We already know Cade Klubnick and Phil Moffa should absolutely have plenties of success
02:04in this game, especially with the big explosive plays.
02:09We have seen it.
02:10SMU, by the way, not exactly the greatest secondary, so I do believe that Klubnick will
02:17have big time throws down the field.
02:20Both these teams average about 23, 24 seconds per play, Ben.
02:25That is going to give us plenty enough possessions and opportunities to go flying over this.
02:30I think this game with both teams landing in the 30s, I don't see any way that this
02:36thing lands in the 40s, so I'm banking on an over here.
02:41I think this is going to be a fun one.
02:43I think it's going to be a wild shootout.
02:46Not the elite Clemson defenses of years past, but that offensive coordinator, Garrett Riley
02:51versus Brett Lashley should be one that you just make the popcorn, sit back, Ben, and
02:57enjoy it because fireworks are coming here.
