All right welcome back guys The Trilateral podcast episode 75 How are we bow all how are all of us doing how's it going? Damn yeah, that's pretty cold Yeah, all right, we got a little ball to talk about A little f1 talk about fuck about a little bit. I reckon talk about it. I guess whatever. Yeah, we'll start with that one so Last race this season Abu Dhabi Grand Prix qualifying was pretty exciting The Max ended up taking pull Seeing pretty dominant pace wise I Didn't watch the race live is kind of looking at bits and pieces and But Yeah, Landle had to finish fourth or better regardless of where everyone else Finish to take the championship We're stepping one Oscar second and then landle third Points wise he he took championship then Every car finished the race Which was pretty good 16 cars out of the 20 were on the leading lap So clean race Make sure pit stops some went one some went to Outside of that it was kind of a textbook race Solando snagged first though championship Team wide and he got that by You want it by two points? Holded landle Landle is 20 26 20 26 we five or 26 at the yeah, it's 26 All right, it'll be around for a while so Yeah, I got it by two points 423 points max at 421 And then Oscar had 410 well, so Pretty tight three person battle there Round and out your Pop 10 drivers George fourth Charles fifth Lewis six Kimi seventh Elban eight Carlos science ninth and then Fernando Alonzo tenth Um and then you top three teams obviously the clearing took it a long time ago, but Mercedes finished in second and then Red Bull Took third for area and fourth wow and you know Third on pretty much one driver's not better all so that stopped Max there I know power rankings going into the next season already they've got max at one Outside of that You know, there's some testing already being done at Abu Dhabi For the new regulations so That was our last last race with the RS So we got a new age of coming upon a soul. We'll see it'll be interesting. I Have a feeling there's gonna be a heavy heavy load of DNFs Come in the next season As drivers learn how to drive these cars Basically, it'll be a 50 50 power to gas Electric to gas Rating so Um We'll see We'll shout city like pretty much like is it gonna look the same? The cars yeah, right? They're gonna be smaller lighter Um As far as the body layout it'll be pretty much the same just your rear wing won't have that DRS option There is kind of like a takeover feature, but it's It's similar to what they use when they charge their batteries You know, it just kind of depends on where you decide to take it you take it to Overtake or you take it to defend So it'll be interesting. We're gonna Race lines are gonna change Parts of the track where the cars are a little quieter. I think they're gonna be louder now because To harvest that battery energy back you're gonna be Downshifting possibly even on a straight To get your battery level back up. So there's gonna be a lot more management In that realm So it might we might really see the effects at some of your faster tracks You know if your battery system fails in the current cars It wasn't a big deal if it fails in these cars you're pretty much done so Hopefully reliability and the components and the new system is there so We'll have to see how it goes, but it'll be interesting That's why I think the look playing fields pretty level going into it. Yeah Outside of that I think that covers formula one for the season Gorg baby Yeah, might so Already well moving to the college football. We had the Conference championships wrap up last week Some pretty good game. Oh Broncos go Broncos. Yeah Huge for them Was last time they were the Mac 20 2016 well, they were just the 10 years deal pretty Well, is that what PJ was there? Yeah, yeah Yeah, good for them big 10 game was awesome good for Indiana. Yeah That that's how How much football games should always be good defensive game so mm-hmm. I think Mendoza Sealed his Highs been tropey there too, so I'd be very shocked if he did it really what he wanted already so a lot of people are trying to pull for that Vanderbilt quarterback, but But no, I think that does it against us so Finalizing college football playoffs selection Sunday selection for was on Sunday All I got to say is they got some changes to be made so They're gonna rewrite some rules after this year definitely under the right rod of rules So I think they need to get this whole personally I'm not a fan of just putting the top five conference winners in it. I think it should be the 12 best teams in the nation in it, but It's very disappointed that The goal of the 12 person playoff is to have the 12 best teams in the playoff and compete at the highest possible level in college football You're gonna tell me that Tulane versus Ole Miss Is our highest possible competition of a college football we can have out there. Yeah, we got JM you making it or James Madison Congratulations on an amazing year and my argument for a team like that. Let's put Weston in there. Let's I like Western Let's put Western in there. All right. Let's say Western was ranked higher than James Madison They would be in the college wall playoff, but they would have no business being in the college wall playoff Now if Western Michigan was completely undefeated and beat not only Michigan State But also ill of noise at the beginning of their season this year and they were completely undefeated team. Guess what? You should be in the college wall playoff. Yeah, I agree even if you're not in the 12 That's a vote that can be made to a vote a team that's currently in the top 12 to put Western in it But look at to look at JMU schedule this year. They didn't play shit They're gonna be in the college They're gonna get Western Western went back, you know, I think it was back-to-back Three or four losses because the teams are playing Yeah, and they still it wasn't what's your block the first three games of the year? Yeah It was Michigan State, North Texas and then Illinois Which North Texas they should have been that went to three over times So Yeah, they got some fixing to do Yeah, I wasn't even more to mad that Miami got in I kind of understood the whole heads up matchup I was more pissed that Bama got in Alabama shouldn't of because they said Crazy run the middle of the season they aren't declining. They're declining right now. Yes, 100% but they beat The number one team in college football At their home they beat Georgia in Athens Georgia's number one right now Fuck Indiana Georgia No, man, we should definitely not got in so But you can't penalize a team for playing in the SECJP. Can't wait to get your ass beat so You know because if they if there's no incentive then what's the discuss just blow it and save your guys for the rest of them so but They definitely got to rewrite some shit and then for the bull games people can get pissed that these teams are back and out I don't give a fuck let them back out. I'm not against the choice They don't want to they don't want to some of them have valid reasons They're going through coach changes. It's it's perfectly it makes sense also fuck the NCAA Let make them lose money. They're losing so much money with all these big teams not playing in the bull games Well, it's just because the college will play out this year is just fuck no damn sure business it should be knows but It is what it is so but Overall we can all be happy they don't have state lost since week. That was the positive part so Yeah But I feel I'm moving into the possible playoffs or Coming up here in a bit. I feel like we've run through the brackets through our own bracket each see who we have Win in the games and who our champions are gonna be so you want to start it off Chris? We just we do Yeah, just go through your whole I would just do your whole bracket so it doesn't get too confusing with everyone Um So Alabama Oklahoma Oklahoma James Madison Oregon maybe fucking Oregon Yeah, two lane Ole Miss Well miss could probably put their second string in and win How played you Miami depends if they show up but I think I'm gonna go Texas a and M on that Moving in the next round Whoever I you plays I think they got it easy Oregon Texas tech could be I could be pretty solid game I didn't really watch much Texas Tech this year But I'm gonna I'll pull for our gun to that round Ole Miss Georgia that should be real solid I'm I'm a goal miss on that one still And then Texas a and M Ohio Ohio should take it to them So Finally, the IU Oregon I think it'll be IU and then Ohio State Ole Miss More partiality here. I'm a goal miss and then it'll be IU Ole Miss for the championship I'm gonna say I you takes it I'm gonna be fine with either one of those teams taking it but I you For the champion too Go ahead look All right, I got Oregon winning is James Madison I got Ole Miss beaten to lane I got Miami beaten Texas a and M I got Oklahoma beat now, Bambler Um After that I got Oregon beaten Texas tech Then I got IU beaten Oklahoma I got Georgia beaten Ole Miss I got Ohio State beaten Miami Then we got Oregon and IU I got IU We got Georgia, Ohio State I'm taking Georgia Then Georgia and IU for the championship I'm taking Georgia to win it all I think me and you just have to say exactly Really? Yeah, I will see you go through again Yeah, I have Oklahoma beating Bambler Oregon beating JMU Miami beating A&M Ole Miss beating to lane And then I got Georgia beating Ole Miss Ohio State beating Miami IU beating Oklahoma, Oregon beating Texas tech And then I got Indiana beating Oregon I got Georgia beating Ohio State And then I got Georgia beating Indiana Same bracket, same as that bracket And Caw So I agree completely with that so But I personally, I'm also going to be more for I think to be Georgia Ohio State I don't think IU wins their natty this year I think they got their big 10 Yeah, they're not going to win the nat I think Georgia is going to like is the best team But I'm going to be pulling for Ole Miss I would like to see Ole Miss win it all That would be crazy Ole Miss should be awesome doing it all That quarterback, you know, played at Ferris State So that'd be cool to see him do that win a national championship with Ferris State and win a national championship with It was the last time we've had someone win a D2 National Championship, the one a D1 national championship Like back to back year I don't know, probably pretty crazy So Probably never but we can do it now with the portal Sure We shall see, we shall see But Perhaps up college football we'll see We'll keep those updated as the playoffs start I don't really We watched the training bowl game Just we got the Navy and was a Navy Army game coming up this week Yeah You need to look pretty sick for that I'll probably watch the western one I was watching that this weekend Their defense really held up So I'm looking forward to them against Um Shit, who are they playing Aren't they playing I thought they were playing the Who did North Texas lose too They're playing for No, they're not playing for Jinyar, are they?
