00:00 And it's time to talk a little college football.
00:02 So as we segue from the college basketball court over here to college football, we are
00:07 looking at the SEC and quite frankly, it's interesting just to say this, you know who's
00:11 the favorite to win the SEC Ben, next year, it's Georgia, the two to one price, you know
00:16 what's coming in close to them, Texas, what Texas in the SEC.
00:20 Yeah, welcome to the times are changing here.
00:22 They're at a three to one price here followed by Ole Miss and Alabama, Saban leaves and
00:27 they're a plus nine 50 price, my goodness, what's that four times what they typically
00:31 are.
00:32 Talk to me about about the SEC college football season next year with Texas as a favorite
00:38 to win the SEC.
00:40 Donnie, this was one of the things that I look forward to the most in conference realignment
00:45 seeing how those conference championship odds would stack up because for the previous four
00:50 to five years, maybe even longer with the SEC East versus the SEC West.
00:56 It was Georgia and or Alabama as a short favorite with the other team in that scenario being
01:02 just a couple of cents or maybe a dollar or so behind, then we would get a drop off is
01:08 their value in the SEC West on an LSU on a Texas a&m could a Kentucky or a Tennessee
01:15 or a Florida on seat, Georgia in the SEC East, those days are done.
01:21 Those days are done and with the addition of Oklahoma and Texas, the SEC looks a lot
01:27 different.
01:28 Alabama doesn't even have the second best price.
01:31 The Crimson Tide don't even have the third best number to win the SEC and there will
01:36 be a pathway not just based on divisional dominance, but just the two best winning percentages
01:42 in conference play to get to that SEC title game in early December in Atlanta.
01:48 If we were to follow the odds, despite it being the Longhorns inaugural season in the
01:53 Southeast conference, they would play for a conference championship against Georgia.
01:58 We factored that in to the college football playoff conversation that we learned last
02:02 week five plus seven, the winner of the SEC will earn one of those automatic births to
02:08 a college football playoff.
02:11 That is just how the landscape will look in college football, but you do not necessarily
02:17 have to be unbeaten or have boss, not in the gauntlets that will be the conference slates
02:24 in both the SEC and the big 10, but just to get to the game to earn that automatic birth.
02:31 And if you're in the game, you will certainly be at play for an at large bid, very different
02:37 than a season ago where Georgia lost for the first time in nearly 30 games to Alabama.
02:44 And because Georgia had one loss in an SEC championship game against a college football
02:50 playoff team, the Bulldogs did not make the CFP a very different environment and conversation
02:58 next year in 2024.
02:59 Yeah, my times change here in the SEC.
03:02 Take a look at us.
03:03 We talked about Alabama plus now almost a 10 to one price, not to win the national championship,
03:07 to win the SEC and also teams that used to be up on that pantheon here, the Florida Gators,
03:12 a hundred and ten to one to win the SEC Championship.
