Conference play looms, but before then, we have an all-time elite Saturday slate. Ky and Jim eagerly await that bonanza, quickly previewing as many games as possible to end the pod. Before that, though, the fellas chop it up about the National Player of the Year race, the remaining undefeateds, more SEC increduility, Mizzou beat Kansas!!!!, and the overwhelming number of very good teams chasing the sport's top tier. Root's Roundup also includes a discussion on the impending NCAA Tournament expansion and AJ Dybantsa's commitment to BYU.

Matt is a VERY excused absence for this episode!

The Weave is back to dominate the podcast airwaves the way the SEC obliterated the ACC. We break down that one-sided challenge and ruminate on how many teams from the SEC could go dancing, while also skeptically critiquing 90% of the ACC. Other topics: Cooper Flagg's superstardom, the Big Ten's western wing, Doug Gottlieb's tweet about December, the idea of November just being a "figure it out" timeframe for power conference teams, surprising KenPom rankings, and plenty more!

Early season reactions continue this week, with the Weave dissecting the Champions Classic and Auburn/Houston, among other contests. We also muse on Georgetown, the overall state of the Big East, North Florida's start, old but new Saint Mary's, mid-major powers, the eliteness (or not) of the teams atop the country, and much more. We also looked ahead to a huge Friday of hoops...Alabama at Purdue, yes please!

The SEC's football dominance has been kneecapped by in-conference parity, but the league has an ace up its sleeve: an excellent collection of basketball squads. Texas and Oklahoma join, but its the incumbents - Auburn, Alabama, Tennessee - that are in the national title picture, and the league has wild depth (only #96 Vandy is outside the KenPom top 70). 

Per usual, the Weavers dig into each SEC squad and try to figure out what makes it tick. What has to go right? What could potentially hold them back? How #IN are Ky and Jim on their Missouri Tigers?

Three new board bets originated in this one - one that isn't even SEC-related!
