So you look at the national championship odds and the top five, right?

Sort of the consensus five, Bill, as you just said, is that Ohio State, Oregon, Indiana, Notre Dame is in there.

Notre Dame, as of this morning when I looked, is actually the favorite.

And then Texas is the one SEC team that is in there.

So at that point, the top five, it's three from the Big Ten and one from the SEC.

By the national championship odds on FanDuel, there are then six SEC teams before you get to the next Big Ten team in the national championship odds.

And you go through Georgia, LSU, Texas A&M, Alabama, Ole Miss, and Oklahoma before you get to USC at 40-1 and Michigan at 45-1.

And my question would be, why?

Why is that?

That makes sense.

It's the fine bomb bump strength, but it's the strength of the top hurts the middle.

Yes.

I do think I would do it more like Matt.

I have the same seven as Matt because I don't think anything, I don't think it would take an unbelievable, like I can't believe this happened.

Nobody saw this coming kind of season from USC or Michigan or Penn State or Washington to have them be in the playoff mix, right?

Like Matt, you talked, it's funny.

Washington's last two games are Indiana and Oregon, right?

Like they could be at nine and one before they hit those two.

But that means like, like they're, they're a legit playoff contender.

And again, to me, like playoff contender, like, you know, does that mean you make the playoff?
