00:00So, the big games are coming up.

00:07So, who do you like in some of these?

00:09Iowa State and Arizona State, I had already mentioned the Sun Devils, that's who they're

00:12playing, the Cyclones.

00:14Yeah, I liked Iowa State at the beginning of the year, and especially after they beat

00:19Iowa.

00:20They're a really good defensive team, so this will be a little bit of contrast in styles.

00:23Arizona State is going really well right now, so I'm picking the hot hand with Arizona State,

00:28but that game is kind of a toss-up for me.

00:31Georgia and Texas in the SEC, how about the Longhorns?

00:35First year in the conference and playing for a title.

00:38Yeah, I think Georgia is the best team in the league, and I have all year, and despite

00:42the fact that Texas is a top seed, their one loss, Georgia really took it to them in that

00:47one loss.

00:48So, I think that Georgia is good enough to win this game again, and this is the only

00:53underdog, or I should say, lower-seeded team in a conference championship game that I'm

00:58picking, but it's Georgia.

01:00Penn State and Oregon in the Big Ten.

01:04I think it's nice that we're getting a game that hasn't been played yet, because everybody

01:08at the top of that league didn't play each other this year.

01:11But Penn State, if they can get their offense going, they have a chance to give Oregon everything

01:17they want, but if Oregon is able to stifle that offense a little bit, take away especially

01:21their running game, then I think Oregon's going to get their 30, so Penn State's going

01:26to have to be efficient offensively.

01:29Clemson and SMU.

01:30I'm surprised Clemson gets it after losing to South Carolina, and Miami screwed it up.

01:37This is just unappealing to me, this game.

01:39Yeah, well, Clemson, fortunately for them, did not lose a conference game to South Carolina,

01:44so it didn't really hurt them in terms of getting into this game.

01:48Clemson's probably more talented, but SMU has had a fantastic season all year long,

01:54consistent, dominant when it should be.

01:56I like SMU in this game.

01:58UNLV and Boise in the Mountain West title game.

02:02Yeah, this is probably the only team that can give Boise a game, but they have to give

02:06it to them on the blue turf.

02:08I don't know.

02:09Ashton Jentt, he's such a good player.

02:11They can ride him, and they have been riding him a long way all season.

02:15I like Boise in this game, and Boise has a chance to get a bye, one of the four byes

02:20in this tournament.

02:22What about Tulane and Army in the American Athletic?

02:26Army's had a hell of a season.

02:28They have.

02:29Tulane is probably favored, and I lied, because I'm actually taking Tulane, and they are the

02:35lower-ranked team as well, but yeah, I like Tulane.

02:40Memphis really took it to them.

02:41I think they're going to bounce back from that, but the funny thing is, if Tulane wins

02:45this game, Memphis may end up being the highest-rated team out of that conference, if any of them

02:51are ranked at all.
