00:00Talk to us, the top 10 here, any disagreements, anything that you're maybe scratching your
00:09head out as far as the rankings go?
00:12It's a similar group to what I produced individually.
00:16Although I had Alabama number one because I think they have a better group built to
00:21win the championship.
00:22For me, it's not what you're, I don't care about your ranking at the start of the year.
00:27I'm picking the team that I think has the best shot to win the national championship.
00:30And for me, that was Alabama.
00:32I think that they have the fewest weaknesses along with a high complement of pro-bound
00:37talent, NBA first round talent.
00:40And those are items that are non-negotiable if you want to win the national championship.
00:45And that's why I picked Bama.
00:47I don't think Kansas has built as well to win the four games that are really highly
00:54competitive once you get to the Sweet 16 on.
00:57Kansas is a really nice team.
00:58They're going to win a lot of games.
01:00They're going to win 30 plus games.
01:03But I'm not sure that I like them as much to win it all.
01:06I like Duke a lot to have a shot at winning it, except that I'm worried about their point
01:12guard situation.
01:13UConn, I think, has a chance to repeat.
01:16Is that what you call it?
01:17If you do it three times in a row?
01:20I think they have a chance, but it's not going to be easy.
01:25They may not be quite as talented as they were the previous two years, but it's going
01:29to be a very interesting year.
01:31When we look at teams like Kentucky, which was absolutely smokingly dominant on Monday
01:36night and played exceedingly well in their exhibitions, too, we still really don't even
01:41know what they have.
01:42I mean, they've got all new players.
01:44Arkansas has a lot of the same players as John Calipari had at Kentucky last year, but
01:52they're mostly new, with the exception of Trevon Brazeal.
01:56They're mostly new to Arkansas.
01:57So a lot of different pieces in different places now.
02:01It's really hard to get a feel, but Gonzaga's the one team on Monday night that said, we
02:07still have a lot of the guys that were good last year, and we added better players, and
02:11now we're going to be even better and more dominant.
02:14We'll see what happens.
02:15We'll see what happens.
02:16We'll see what happens.
02:17We'll see what happens.
