The nation's best basketball conference supplied half the teams in the Final Four. Bravo, SEC. The SEC lived up to the hype throughout March Madness, taking the Sweet 16, Elite Eight and now Final Four by storm.

Even so, oddsmakers point to Duke as having the best team, and if you've watched the Blue Devils throughout the tournament, you know that's a fair projection.

So, which SEC team is better positioned to upset Duke in the national championship, if it comes to that? Auburn, or Florida?

On today's episode, hosts Blake Toppmeyer and John Adams assess the Final Four and make their final predictions. They agree that Florida would be slightly better positioned than Auburn to tackle Duke. Neither host picks Duke to win the national championship.

Later in the episode, they dissect another Tennessee tournament run that ended before the Final Four. Have the Vols hit their ceiling under Rick Barnes?
