00:00I wanted to give you the national title odds.

00:04We haven't looked at this in a while, really.

00:06Now that we're into January, we can start looking at things like the national title

00:10odds.

00:11Here we go.

00:12For College Rack, did you know Duke and Auburn are the favorites right now?

00:17Both at plus 550, Houston, Tennessee, Iowa State, Florida, Kansas, Kentucky, Illinois,

00:25UConn on there at 22 to 1.

00:27UConn, of course, going for three in a row.

00:30They are not the same team this year.

00:32That's not happening at all with Caravan as your only real star player.

00:37I think all year long I've told you that Auburn's the best team in college basketball, and when

00:42Broome plays, that's legitimately correct.

00:46I think that I've said from the jump that Duke will be in the Final Four and play for

00:51a national championship with Cooper Flagg.

00:53More so than Flagg is that their defense, John Shire's defense, is just locked down.

01:01The Blue Devils are playing Duke defense like Mike Krzyzewski taught Shire how to do it,

01:06and they have it all going.

01:08The other teams in that mix that I would say have a shot right now, it would have to be

01:15Iowa State and that whole bunch.

01:17The outsider for me, even though they lost to Missouri by one, would be Florida.

01:21They're tough.

01:23They are tough.

01:24There's a few teams I was thinking about that they don't even have on that list.

01:29Alabama's ... Alabama's underneath those teams, too.

01:35Alabama's not on that board.

01:39They've got Gonzaga a little bit further out, St. John's right now.

01:43I don't have St. John's on my board because they're, of course, New York, and I only have

01:46the New York odds in front of me.

01:49They're going to be tough as well once you get ... Illinois, third ...

01:51Marquette's tough.

01:52Yeah.

01:53Yeah.

01:54There's a bunch of different numbers here for a few of these teams.

01:56Michigan State's at 40.

01:58They've played some pretty good ball as well.
