    Ep. 330 - Where is OU in Our SEC Preseason Polls?
    Jul 14 2024
    The guys open the show briefly talking about Grant's recent trip Yellowstone National Park before jumping into their Preseason SEC Polls. Lee decided to rank his teams based on predicted order of finish, while Grant chose to treat this as a Power Poll of SEC teams. We both begin with Georgia as number 1 and predicted SEC Champion (2:40). Lee goes over his tier 2 teams that he thinks the floor is 9-3. There's also a discussion about Michigan's prospects for 2024 (11:50). Grant runs down his tier 2 teams in his preseason SEC Power Poll (28:00). Lee lists finishes up the top 10 teams in his preseason poll (45:30). Grant lists five more teams that he believes is in Tier 3 of the SEC. Grant's convinced Missouri is very overrated heading into 2024 (53:35). The guys finish up their preseason polls and recap (1:02:45). EA College Football 25 talk. Arch Manning is in the game and is rated higher than Jackson Arnold. Danny Stutsman and Billy Bowman are in the top 100. Isn't Shedeur Sanders slow? Will Jayden Gibson be criminally underrated in this game? And other musings (1:06:00). Brief updated roster talk. We're kind of worried about PJ Adebawore. Dillon Gabriel is now the favorite to win the Heisman on ESPN Bet (1:19:50). | Like the show on Facebook: @westofeverest | Follow Grant on Twitter: @GrantBenson25 | Follow Lee on Twitter: @LeeBensonTweets

    Ep. 329 - That's a Lazy OU/Texas SEC Take
    Jul 7 2024
    After a quick preview of what's coming up on the show today, the guys jump into OU officially being a member of the SEC. Will this show get a bunch of new listeners from fans from SEC teams (2:10)? We have to make some corrections from previous shows because we get things wrong sometimes. A listener gets an assist for showing us the way about a Dallas Cowboys topic. Does Lee have a blind spot for defensive players in the NFL? We also find a way to bash USC (4:55). Another mistake we made revolves around Alabama's new head coach Kalen DeBoer and his OC. Good thing we are here to set the record straight (10:40). Let's talk about OU's "Welcome to the SEC" event that did not produce really anything interesting, with maybe the exception of Joe Castiglione taking a mini shot at Lincoln Riley. Where would OU be right now if Riley had not left for USC (13:40)? Barrett Sallee talked about the future of OU and Texas in the SEC on a recent podcast. We play what Sallee said and then react to it all (30:50). Thanks to the "Cover 3 Podcast" for an idea for a bit. Grant wants to pretend we are 5-star recruits and are picking our top 5 schools outside of OU. Both guys take different routes to picking their top 5 (1:09:45). | Like the show on Facebook: @westofeverest | Follow Grant on Twitter: @GrantBenson25 | Follow Lee on Twitter: @LeeBensonTweets

    Ep. 328 - OU's Excellent Recruiting, More Season Win Totals, & EA's Rankings
    Jun 30 2024
    The guys open the show talking about OU's official entry into the SEC, which is set for Monday. Lee apologizes for bringing up a topic that we always beat to death during the offseason (2:00). We provide our thoughts on Bud Elliott's latest "Blue Chip Ratio" rankings. OU's improved their standing in this since 2017 (6:45). Grant has some season win totals that have caught his eye. We begin with a theme on this show, which is ripping on Miami (26:15). Let's talk about Kansas State's win total (35:15). Grant thinks Alabama's win total is a little inflated (41:30). We hit on Tennessee and Missouri (51:00). Grant thinks Florida State is going to go under their win total (57:50). Flipping over to teams who Grant likes to hit their over. Virginia Tech, NC State, UCF, Iowa, Nebraska, and West Virginia (1:01:30). Grant gives his thoughts on Penn State and Ole Miss (1:10:15). EA Sports College Football 25 released some rankings that everybody is talking about. Lee's seen games at Kyle Field and Tiger Stadium. Is OU too high on the "toughest places to play" list (1:17:00)? EA has several teams ranked way too high on offense, particularly Colorado. Hopefully Jackson Arnold is good (1:24:10). OU's ranked 12th on defense and 17th in the overall rankings (1:29:35). | Like the show on Facebook: @westofeverest | Follow Grant on Twitter: @GrantBenson25 | Follow Lee on Twitter: @LeeBensonTweets
