00:00As you look at those SEC championship odds, we got co-favorites in this conference.

00:04Texas plus 280, Georgia plus 280, Alabama in year number two under Kalen DeBoer,

00:10less than a 5-1 number at plus 490.

00:13There you see LSU at 7-1.

00:16There is no doubt this conference is going to be stacked once again.

00:20Three college football playoff teams from the SEC a year ago.

00:23We'll see how many they get into the second year of 12 in 2025.

00:27Yeah, a lot of competitiveness too because it doesn't feel like you have a runaway team.

00:32Like in the past with Nick Saban, it's like, okay, put them number one, put Georgia number two.

00:36We'll see where the cards fall at this point.

00:38Now you have Texas here.

00:38The expectations are, yes, we're in this conference.

00:41We're really good.

00:41And Arch Manning is our quarterback and rightfully so, probably the favorite.

00:45But then you look down there.

00:46It's the old Blue Bloods, man, always hanging around, right?

00:49Georgia, Alabama, LSU.

00:51Just the factor on how good you can be.

00:53But I just get digressed back to the original point.

00:55It's nice to understand that multiple teams in the SEC can have multiple losses

01:00and still make the college football playoff.

01:02I love that.

01:03I love that.

01:04You saw the eight and a half win total for LSU.

01:07The over a slight bit of juice.

01:08LSU is a nine and three team.

01:10They're going to have a great shot at an at-large berth to the college football playoff.

01:15DRS, the highest win total in the SEC belongs to Texas.

01:19It's nine and a half.

01:19The over is so heavily juiced at nearly minus two bills

01:23that they are expected to win 10 games.

01:25That, not correct.

01:26It's nine and a half at over minus 196.

01:29But minus 310 for the Longhorns to get to the college football playoff.

01:33They are national championship co-favorites alongside our reigning champs in the Ohio State Buckeyes.

01:39Of course, when you think of Texas, it starts with Arch Manning.

01:43Some bright spots last year in Austin.

01:46DRS might not agree that Arch Manning should be the Heisman favorite

01:50or the favorite to be that number one overall pick.

01:53I'm still pretty high on his talents.

01:56But outside of just Arch DRS, for me, what really is a staple this year under Steve Sarkeesian,

02:02defensive side of the football and Pete Kwiatkowski, who is that defensive coordinator.

02:07You've got Colin Simmons back along the defensive line.

02:11You've got Anthony Hill Jr., one of the best linebackers in the country,

02:14and a veteran, Safey, and Michael Taffey, who is back as well.

02:18Texas is loaded defensively and really good offensively as well.

02:23No doubt should be in that national championship conversation all year long.

02:28Yes, a couple tough games on the schedule.

02:30But here's what I also dislike as well.

02:32Like, you're going to have Texas.

02:33And let's just say you're a Texas fan.

02:34You're excited.

02:35You go to Ohio State game number one.

02:37That is awesome.

02:38That big Fox noon kickoff, everybody will be watching at the start of college football.

02:43Then Texas disappears from the football landscape for over a month.

02:47San Jose State, UTEP, Sam Houston.

02:50Don't know why we do this in college football.

02:52And it's a shame for the fans where, hey, three straight home games.

02:55Nobody cares about those long teams.

02:56Thanks.

02:56Thanks, guys.

02:57Thanks.
