Ep. 302 - Extensive Alamo Bowl Preview & CFP Picks (and Complaints)

No opening take as the guys dive right into the Alamo Bowl matchup between OU and Arizona. We briefly discuss Arizona being favored by 2.5 points and talk about what the number would have been if Dillon Gabriel was playing (01:40). How good is Arizona? Where do they rank compared to the other teams OU have played this season (07:20)? Arizona's passing offense is really good and a large reason for that is their elite WR Tetairoa McMillan (14:00). With all the time since the TCU game, is it reasonable to expect OU's defense to look more like it did in the first 6-7 games of the season (19:20)? The Arizona offense has very few turnovers since Noah Fifita has been the starting QB. Will OU's defense force 2+ takeaways in the Alamo Bowl (27:45)? Arizona's running backs are really good and they're deep at the position (31:30). How does Arizona's defense compare to the other defenses the Sooners have seen this year (34:40)? Will Jackson Arnold be able to keep OU's offense on schedule? How will Arnold be utilized in the run game (42:00)? How will OU's running back rotation play out in the Alamo Bowl? Lee calls for a Kalib Hicks breakout game (56:00). The guys give their final thoughts on the game and present their gut feelings on what's going to happen in the Alamo Bowl (58:15). We finish up the show by talking about the CFP matchups. Lee hates the matchups in the Playoff, while Grant thinks they're great. We make our picks by beginning with the Rose Bowl between Michigan-Alabama (1:08:30). Texas is a 4.5 point favorite over Washington in the Sugar Bowl. Lee wishes these teams were not playing each other. Is the winner of this game the favorite to win it all (1:23:15)? | Like the show on Facebook: @westofeverest | Follow Grant on Twitter: @GrantBenson25 | Follow Lee on Twitter: @LeeBensonTweets
