00:00Now, we're a little bit further away from some of the big SEC matchups, and it's kind of been the tale of two teams over the last several years, Alabama, Georgia sort of interchanging, winning, and those coaching changes definitely changed with Kalen DeBoer taking over in Alabama, not the season that they necessarily wanted to have last year.
00:17Georgia ends up winning the SEC, but I think what's more interesting this year, Bill, is taking a look at the favorite to win the SEC this year. It is the Texas Longhorns, and that's a little surprising considering where we've been the last few years. Texas in their first year, last year, pretty impressive. We know their quarterback. Everyone's talked about that. Should Texas be a favorite over Georgia, Alabama, and LSU?
00:41It's interesting, and I'm really going to be interested to see the SEC preseason pull when it comes out later this week. What's the gap? I do think Texas will be favored, but when you look at those ads and the difference between 280 and 290, you ask yourself a question. Didn't Georgia win this game both times last year?
01:00They did beat Texas, and they did win the SEC championship, and those two schools combined to send 25 players to the 25 NFL draft. Now, so you're basing it on what? Is it the Arch Manning hype? Is it the guys that they have at the skill positions? Is it the defense? I mean, Georgia has a lot coming back, too, and the interesting thing with Georgia, Alabama, and Texas, all of that's going to be dictated by which first-year starter plays the best.
01:26We all know Arch Manning, but Gunnar Stockton and Ty Simpson will have something to say about that.
