00:00to win the SEC championship this year at plus 350, only behind those Bulldogs from Athens.
00:11Yeah, it should be. And again, it's a lot different vantage point here in the SEC where,
00:16Grant, new teams and expansion, we get that, but also the advent of the playoffs expanding from,
00:21you know, the mythical national champion to the BCS era one and two to four. And now the true
00:26expansion that we have now, which is awesome. So when you enter into the season, sometimes it's
00:30not always about it's do or die on a week-to-week basis. You now have coaches with like that second
00:35life and that second opportunity. How many times in the past was like, hey, LSU is going to travel
00:39to Alabama. Well, winner of that game is probably going to win the SEC and goes on to the championship
00:43and the loser who might only have one loss on the season doesn't get to play for anything at that
00:47point. So I do think it's interesting this year where the SEC takes on that whole, where typically
00:51it was like, okay, you're doing yourself damage where maybe a team from the ACC or Big Ten is
00:55like, man, it's a cakewalk schedule. They went unbeaten during the national championship round,
00:59as opposed to a two loss SEC team going, we played so many tough teams on this season.
01:04It's unfair that we had to do this and you get to advance. Now you get the benefit of the doubt.
01:08One loss is even two losses will be able to get you into a national championship picture. So I
01:13like that. And I like to see the coaches, how they operate on a day-to-day basis where so many times
01:17like you lose second week of the season. Hey kids, I got to keep you motivated. We're not playing for
01:21anything the rest of the year, but let's see if we can win some football games. That's no longer
01:25the case. And I really like that.
