00:00Let's go big picture to begin. As you look at the national

00:06championship odds, I really think it is a statement into

00:09what this college football season holds. Now, there is a

00:12slight change, of course, as Florida State was upset last

00:15week in Dublin by Georgia Tech, FSU, and Michigan tied for the

00:19tenth best price to win the natty this year at thirty to one

00:22entering the year entering week number one, Michigan now a

00:25thirty to one price by themselves with that tenth best

00:29number. So, it's you know, nine of the ten best prices to win

00:32the college football playoff national championship in 2024

00:35hail from either the SEC or the big big ten. Five SEC schools.

00:41Four big ten programs on that list and the independent that

00:45is Notre Dame. Is the national championship prices an

00:49indication of you of what this college football season is

00:52going to look like in the hunt for a title? Yeah, I mean,

00:56look, it's obviously they're the two best conferences but

00:58you know, what you do have to account for maybe here's a

01:01little bit of cannibalization of each other and that there is

01:04a possibility that whether it's Notre Dame or even an ACC team

01:08that could sneak in and sort of upset the apple card here.

01:12Uh although I don't wanna give too much credence to the big

01:14twelve. I I think they still have a long way to go as far as

01:16the conferences are concerned but again, Georgia's gonna play

01:19its toughest schedule easily in 5 years. Um LSU is going

01:23through a state of transition. Alabama's got a brand new head

01:25coach despite the fact that they're returning a lot of the

01:27same talent. So, all these teams have a bunch of

01:31question marks and they're all gonna start to play opponents

01:33that they don't routinely see and this is kind of the only

01:36thing that conference realignment in my opinion has

01:38really done that has made it a lot more exciting. When you

01:40look at some of these opening game schedules and things of

01:43that nature and the way it's all gonna shake out. LSU, LSU,

01:46and and USC and then you get Texas A and M and and Notre

01:50Dame in week one. I mean, you're getting some legitimate

01:53matchups here that could be season defining matchups that

01:56really could, you know, decide how the ranking system goes for

01:59those seven at large bids that are gonna pop up for the

02:02expanded college football playoff here. So, I do think

02:05there'll be a little bit of cannibalization. I think when

02:06it's all said and done with it, we get to the final twelve. You

02:09know, you're having nine of the top ten teams come from those

02:12two conferences. It wouldn't shock me if we got three or

02:16four big twelve teams in, two or three ACC teams and you're

02:18only looking at maybe five or six or seven from the SEC and

02:22the big ten combined.
