00:00I want to go right into this seeding that you have already with your infamous bracketology.

00:07You've already started doing it.

00:09You're doing it twice weekly, Mondays and Fridays.

00:12And today you came out with some seeding and I was looking in the Big Ten and you have

00:16Oregon and Illinois at threes, Purdue and UCLA at sixes, Michigan and Wisconsin at sevens,

00:23Michigan State at eight, Ohio State, Maryland and Nebraska nines.

00:29Is that right?

00:30And then Penn State, Iowa and Northwestern, Penn State, Iowa's 10s, Northwestern 11.

00:35And you have completely macheted my Indiana Hoosiers out of the NCAA tournament.

00:42They're close.

00:43I think they're the first team out, aren't they?

00:44Do you see that part?

00:45I don't know.

00:46I just saw them.

00:47I think I've got a first team out.

00:48Yeah, they just haven't beaten anybody yet.

00:53You know, that's, that's just it.

00:54They haven't had a chance to play anybody.

00:56They don't have the kind of wind that it needs to push them into this bracket.

01:00You know, it's funny, all of those Big Ten teams, you know, there's a couple of threes

01:05and then it's six through ten is like a dozen Big Ten teams.

01:09Well, maybe not quite that many, but most of the Big Ten teams that I put in this bracket

01:13are between six and ten.

01:15And that made bracketing really hard because you got to try and keep these teams apart

01:18from each other in the bracket, at least for a little while.

01:21And yeah, I had to move a couple teams around to get that sorted out so the Big Ten wasn't

01:29playing each other.

01:30Also, seven SEC teams among the top four seeds in the top 16 then in the bracket.

01:37And you also have to try and, you know, keep those teams apart as long as you possibly

01:42can.

01:43And so that was a lot of fun as well.

01:45The committee is going to have their hands full with those two leagues this year, trying

01:48to follow their bracketing rules even a little bit with almost half the bracket, a third

01:54of it at least, being the SEC and the Big Ten.

01:58So your top seeds are Auburn, Tennessee, Iowa State, and Duke.

02:03Your two seeds are West Virginia, Marquette, Alabama, and Kentucky.

02:07I think Auburn's the best team in the country and I think they're better than Tennessee.

02:12Do you follow any of that rhetoric?

02:15Yeah, they're my number one overall seed.

02:17So despite the fact that they lost to Duke, they're still my overall number one seed because

02:22I'm with you.

02:23I think they're the best team.

02:24They've got the best player.

02:25That Johnny Broom is a beast.

02:28I thought that, you know, he got hurt right before they played Purdue and it looked like

02:31he wasn't going to play.

02:32Well, he played and boy, that team just, Purdue had no chance against Auburn and Purdue's

02:37pretty decent team, but you know, not like last year, but still pretty decent team.

02:42Auburn just had their way with Purdue and that's a guy that most teams are not going

02:47to be able to handle.

02:49Just like Purdue's guy in the last two years, Zach Eady was a player that most teams couldn't

02:54handle.

02:55Well, Broom's a different kind of a big, but still a player that most teams that Auburn

02:59faces are not going to be able to handle.
