00:00So Ohio State, Joe, entered last week as the national championship favorites, even 10 cents in front of Alabama. Despite the crimson tides, huge wind over Georgia to end out September. Well, Alabama gets beat. Many others inside the top 11 lose a little bit of steam. Ohio State's number grows shorter plus 290. Texas didn't play last week. Their number got bigger.
00:28By a half buck ahead of the Red River rivalry on Saturday in Dallas against Oklahoma. Georgia bounced back with a win, albeit a noncover against Auburn. Their price lessons by a dollar as well. And although Alabama suffered a crushing defeat to Vanderbilt, who had not beaten the crimson tide since 1984, I still think Joe, one of the beauties of this new era and climate is that it's not just the weather.
00:57In college football with the expanded CFP, Alabama is still going to be one of the five best teams throughout the entirety of this year. Yeah, they got to shore up the defense and do so right away. But the price is not 65 to 1. Now it's still point 650. That's how it looks at the top of the country in college football.
01:17Yeah, and listen, I think that's a great point, Ben. The idea that, you know, listen, Alabama, Georgia wasn't the end of the world for Georgia losing, right? Alabama losing to Vanderbilt, not going to be end of the world. Why? Because you got 900 teams in a postseason now that have opportunities. So what the expanded playoffs have done has kind of taken losses like this.
01:42Yeah, Ben, in week 567, right? And they've kind of mitigated them a little bit. Doesn't mean that they're out of the season. It just means their room for error now is basically slim to not. So it's going to be interesting to see how this unfolds. But again, not terrible loss by Alabama on the road against Vandy. Not one that we should have been surprised with, given the lead brown spot there for them.
02:08But at the same time, it's not season ending. That would have been last year, year prior or ever. That would have been the end of the Alabama's chances of a national title in week six. A loss like that.
