00:16John, with only 16 teams left, this might seem like an easy question to you, but as you look

00:20at the odds, do you expect our national champion to come from the one line? I think it's too close

00:27to call, Ben. I think that's the one thing that this Sweet 16 can provide is really, really

00:32balanced matchups. I mean, in theory, the one seeds that are all still alive, Auburn, Florida,

00:38Duke, and Houston have played better than everybody else on the field, but I'll say this,

00:43if Michigan beats Auburn, if Maryland beats Florida, if Arizona beats Duke, and if Purdue,
