00:00We see the conference odds entering week number two with the Georgia Bulldogs now having the

00:05best price at plus 280 to win an SEC championship. Give me your thoughts about the Bulldogs and

00:12potentially some other teams that could challenge this coming season. You know, I think still most

00:17people feel like when it gets to the tough situation, when it gets to the end of the end

00:22of the season, the Bulldogs, the Georgia will be there. We've seen so much of them playing good

00:27defense and them running the football and them getting themselves much better at the end of

00:33the season. I think we all feel that. Although now I think we're, I'm seeing LSU closer to Georgia.

00:40You know, Alabama's jumped down. I'm seeing LSU as being that number two team. And I don't know that,

00:44I think people have still got Alabama up there really good, but Georgia, LSU and Texas, although

00:50some people are feeling like it's the Texas, again, they lost to Ohio State by seven. And I'm not sure,

00:56like LSU and Clemson, that was too close of a loss for people to say they're out of it.

01:02If their quarterback will play better at Texas, they're right back into everything. And I think

01:07he will learn from playing on the road in that game. But I kind of think LSU now is a team I'm

01:14thinking that jumps up there right behind Georgia or even with Georgia along with Texas. And then

01:20there's a distant fourth. I've got Alabama drop down, but still they're probably in fourth because of

01:26the amount of talent, if they can correct their mistakes. I'm in agreement with you. I think

01:31right here, right now, and I felt this way throughout the off season, that Georgia was the best team

01:35just from the national championship perspective. And from the wagering perspective that I would say,

01:42I would want to put my money on the Georgia Bulldogs because of the physicality of the offense

01:47and defense lines. Maybe they didn't have the elite quarterback in Gunnar Stockton,

01:51like Arch Manning, like Nussmeier, and some of the others in the conference. But what I believed in

01:57was the recruiting aspect of Kirby Smart and that identity to at least bounce back. What I can't

02:03imagine and what I can't basically conceive in week number two is seeing how Texas really couldn't run

02:10the football on that front seven in Ohio State. Seeing Texas lose last year in two games, one at home

02:16to the Georgia Bulldogs and the other in the SEC championship to Georgia after Carson Beck went down

02:22and seeing now in back-to-back games against Ohio State where they failed to step up and saying that

02:28they're deserving of the second best price ahead of an LSU team that walked into Clemson and got the

02:35outright victory 17 to 10. Yeah, I mean, with Texas, you know, it's not a, to me, it's not can they run,

02:42but will they run? They don't turn to the run. They don't understand to me, the bigger the game,

02:48the more they don't understand. Don't worry about playing close. Just continue to mix the run in

02:52with the, with the pass and you'll be better off towards the end of the game. But I saw that being

02:58a lot of what I'm seeing at Clemson as well as Texas. When you get to a big game, all of a sudden

03:03you abandon the running game and go to the passing game a little too much. We got 103 yards out of Texas

03:10last week. And so, you know, not enough yardage to win a football game like you need to.
