00:00This is like has some shock value looking at the potential

00:06winner to win the SEC and seeing Texas there, you know, right in

00:11the thick of it to win the SEC, you know, clearly Georgia still

00:15the favorite at plus 180 fair to say.

00:18I think at this point, Alabama, if you ever would say that

00:22they're a team in transition in the last 15 years, this is

00:26probably the year for them.

00:28Ole Miss could be strong.

00:30I think the oddsmakers are basically telling us bill.

00:32It's anybody's at this point.

00:34I don't think they know what to do with these odds, but it's

00:36very easy to just simply make Georgia the favorite because

00:39they're expected to be one of the best teams in college

00:41football again.

00:42Yeah, and their their road is not easy.

00:44I think before you make a pick on the SEC champion, you have

00:47to consult these schedules because with a 16 team set up

00:51there are imbalanced schedules.

00:52I don't have to tell you twice.

00:54How difficult Florida schedule is this season.

00:56It's one of the most brutal in recent memory that I've ever

00:59seen when you set see all the teams they're playing within

01:02the conference and then they're playing Miami and Florida

01:05State outside of the conference.

01:07So you look at Texas tough road game at Michigan and

01:10non-conference play traditional matchup with Oklahoma.

01:14Other than that, it's Georgia and Texas A&M.

01:17So if they can win three of those games or even split those

01:21two games not lose any of the rest.

01:23You're looking at a 10 and two Longhorns team that will

01:25probably be in Atlanta for the SEC championship game in their

01:29first season in the conference, which is a scenario.

01:32I would have not dreamed of saying three years ago when they

01:35joined it.

01:35So they are definitely a team to watch Oklahoma.

01:38Conversely, brutal schedule got to play Alabama got to play

01:41Tennessee got to play LSU.

01:44It is one of those things where before you make a call, make

01:47sure you look at the schedules, especially in the Big 10 and

01:49the SEC.
