00:00So let's take a look at your number one seeds as of now and as it correlates the odds over on FanDuel.
00:06Auburn, Duke, Alabama, Houston.
00:11I mean, if we got an Auburn-Duke final, by the way, I mean, we could be one of the highest-rated games in college basketball in a long time.
00:20But I know how this works, Mike. We're not getting that.
00:22We're not going to get that. That's not the way basketball works.
00:25I mean, we fill out these brackets and, you know, I love when we do it.
00:29And, you know, you and I are going to talk about this and laugh and say, oh, you know, I only have two number one seeds.
00:34Oh, you're only, right? And sometimes there are none of the number one seeds going to the end.
00:38But certainly I do think that the odds make sense here looking at this because, I mean, they've been the two most dominant teams.
00:44And by the way, outside of Auburn's hiccup last night, they've had none all year.
00:48Right. The Auburn season has been remarkable.
00:52They have played an extraordinarily difficult schedule, the most difficult schedule by the net rankings, using that as the determining factor in terms of team value.
01:03They have played the most difficult schedule in America and have achieved monstrous things against it.
01:09Duke has not played the most difficult schedule in America, and it's not their fault.
01:13They happen to be members of a league that is having a dreadful year.
01:17So they are still terrific, but they haven't faced the same level of competition that Auburn has.
01:24But it would be amazing if we were able to get those two into the final.
01:28Every now and then we get the two best teams or the two teams that have had the greatest seasons, however you want to say it.
01:34It doesn't happen often. But these are two teams that have a chance to do that.
01:38I mean, a year ago, we probably had the two best, UConn against Purdue.
01:42So it does happen. And you look at these two teams with the depth of talent each of them has.
01:48Duke needs to be a little bit healthier than they are.
01:51And Auburn has to get back that hunger and motivation that seemed to be lacking last night.
01:58But I do think that both of those teams have a chance to have great opportunities in March.
