Auburn, Florida, Alabama, Tennessee.
00:03
You didn't take anybody behind them, did you?
00:05
No.
00:06
Yeah.
00:07
I don't know.
00:08
Sittered Kentucky.
00:09
I considered Kentucky.
00:12
But here's so here's why I didn't coach you right in on right in on.
00:17
No, no, no.
00:18
Can I say I'll tell you why I didn't play Kentucky mainly.
00:20
So I think they can beat Bama.
00:23
I don't think they can do anything beyond that.
00:25
I don't think they're beating Florida.
00:27
I don't think they would win the championship.
00:29
That's a big it's a big number, Don.
00:31
Like Kentucky's playing well, defensively over the last year, by the way, Atlanta, where
00:37
the Nashville, Nashville.
00:38
I think.
00:39
All right.
00:40
No.
00:41
So but I played one of the big four.
00:44
So Auburn, Florida, Alabama and Tennessee.
00:47
I have a blind spot for Florida.
00:49
I have to reevaluate this week.
00:52
And I don't know if it's going to because I always tell you this, too.
00:56
I want to.
00:57
I don't want like I'd be like a Texas Tech, honestly, runs through the big 12 and wins
01:01
it.
01:02
I'm going to be pretty upset by that, because then I feel like it opens the eyes like, oh,
01:05
yeah, that's right.
01:06
They're good.
01:07
Or Iowa State.
01:08
I almost want one of those teams like, let's just say I was like, hey, man, I think Auburn's
01:11
going to win it.
01:12
They get bounced round one and say maybe they were a paper champion in the SEC this year
01:17
and that price point goes up another dollar or two.
01:19
Like now's my time to bounce.
01:21
So I'm going to say that you are.
01:24
You bet, Florida, then I'm going to say.
01:26
No, no, no.
01:27
All right.
01:28
Bama.
01:29
No.
01:30
Wow.
01:31
It can't be Tennessee.
01:32
It is.
01:33
Wow.
01:34
I can't do it with Tennessee.
01:35
Now give me give me a reason.
01:36
Give me some.
01:37
I'm trying.
01:38
So my reasoning is I couldn't get involved with the bottom of that bracket because I
01:39
think Kentucky might be Bama, but they can't be Florida.
01:40
I think Bama would beat Florida if they got there, but I'm not sure I like any of them
01:41
in the championship.
01:42
I think I'm going to say Bama.
01:43
I'm going to say Bama.
01:44
I'm going to say Bama.
01:45
I'm going to say Bama.
01:46
I'm going to say Bama.
01:47
I'm going to say Bama.
01:48
I'm going to say Bama.
01:49
I'm going to say Bama.
01:57
If all of the prices were even, I would be betting Auburn.
02:00
I would be, but they're not even.
02:03
And I have, you know, you're looking at plus one 50 for what is supposed to be the deepest
02:07
and best conference the sport has maybe ever seen.
02:10
I cannot get there.
02:12
Auburn's beaten all of them, right?
02:15
They beat Florida.
02:16
They beat Bama.
02:17
They've beaten Texas A and M. They can't be Kentucky for whatever reason.
02:21
Their loss to Auburn was by two on the road, but Tennessee, again, it's just to win a tournament
02:29
like this.
02:30
To me, if they get through Auburn, I feel great about it.
02:35
And that's in the semis.
02:36
I don't know.
02:37
I don't buy a and M as much of a threat.
02:39
I think that's part of the reason I'm getting the caliber of number I am Donnie and the
02:44
four in that four or five potential.
02:47
I don't know.
02:48
I'm maybe not giving a and M enough respect and I'll say this and I'm not sure I will
02:52
there's a part of me that might consider like betting Auburn money line.
03:00
If that, if those teams meet in the semifinal as a hedge, yeah, now I know that's dangerous
03:06
because Tennessee can win that game.
03:08
I lose my hedge, then get eliminated in the final.
03:11
And now I've lost extra.
03:12
I think it's either going to be Tennessee or Auburn though.
03:15
So that's kind of the Auburn number was too good to be for me to pass up on.
03:21
It's going to be fun to watch at sec tournament.
03:23
When's that start tomorrow?
03:24
I want to say obviously it's not certain today.
03:26
It's got to start on a Wednesday.
03:27
Yeah, it's tomorrow.
03:28
Today.
03:29
Yeah, it's tomorrow.
03:30
It starts tomorrow.
03:31
Let me just say this quickly before you move over.
03:32
Just you mentioned the blind spot on Florida.
03:34
So everybody knows how high I am on Houston.
03:36
I couldn't agree more with you.
03:38
I wanted to take some time to really dive into who deserves what seed.
03:42
I think Florida should be in front of Houston in terms of one line.
03:47
That stuff usually doesn't matter, but that is how good the Florida resume is.
03:54
That team, they are very, very, again, all the results suggest they are fantastic.
