00:00looking at college basketball. We're about midway through the month of January. Things

00:03really heat up from now right through to the conference tournaments at the last couple days

00:09of February into early March at this point. And then, of course, March Madness comes behind that.

00:13Michigan actually took a loss over the weekend, Joe, but still the favorite right now to be a

00:18number one overall seed in March Madness at a 78% chance. So if you're buying that, yes, Joe,

00:24it's 95 cents, which means you win back $3 and 40 cents in profit. If Michigan is a number one

00:33overall seed. Well, it wasn't just Michigan this week here, Donnie. We had 11 ranked teams suffer

00:41at least one loss and actually three teams that were ranked actually suffered two losses. So

00:47there is going to be a whole lot of different shuffling. But yeah, listen, Michigan, it's not

00:53the end of the season. We know this, but I still like me some Arizona here. I think Arizona continues

01:00to show that they should be the number one or the number one team in the country, and they're going

01:05to be a tough out moving forward. And by the way, keep an eye on what this actually means. Not the

01:11number one seed overall, just a number one seed. So you have four opportunities to get that. Michigan

01:16looked great so far, finally took a loss. They're not going to go undefeated. We understand that,

01:20but they're up high. Arizona's up there. UConn's up there. Iowa State is up here. And by the way,

01:25there's $94, Joe, in volume on this on Polymarket. 90, as a total, like we should go for millions and

01:33millions. Yeah, as a total, Michigan is $55. So I'm scrolling down here. Who else has some of the

01:40volume? Nebraska, way down $10. Gonzaga, $5. Alabama, $24. But there's teams like Arizona that have

01:50no dollars on them right now, despite having a 71% chance, Joe.

01:55Which is hilarious, given the fact that they're going to be the number one team in the new AP

01:59poll today in the country. So, and all we need them to be is a number one seed. Correct?

02:05Come Archvandis? Yeah. That's a little light there on the handle.

02:10Now we need to be able to go.
