Split Zone Duo: College Football Podcast – Details, episodes & analysis

In this show, Godfrey answers questions from SplitZoneDuo.com subscribers. Godfrey is neither 1) good at predicting things nor 2) claiming to be, but the results are decent-ish, at least when it comes to K-State. Maybe Florida? Let's talk about how to better hate your rival, when to DVR a CFB weekend and go do something else, and how to find a job you don't hate.

Producer: Anthony Vito.

Also this week!

* The Week 1 Tasting Menu

* Overtime, Week 1: Bonus show on CFB roster subterfuge

* 2024 kickoff with Ty Hildenbrandt of The Solid Verbal

Auburn lists 37 defensive starters. Georgia won’t release a depth chart, so Clemson won’t. Several teams with obvious starting quarterbacks will not acknowledge reality. CFB lineup secrecy has gotten ridiculous, but there’s a more troubling piece of it in 2024: the lack of uniform injury reporting. Why is it such a problem? Not exactly for the most commonly stated reason.

Producer: Anthony Vito

Godfrey sits down with longtime Big Ten and Ohio State writer Doug Lesmerises of "Kings of the North" in a traditional north/south idealogical spar that's anything but. We talk about the origins of Doug trying to redefine the northern and midwestern identities of college football and the lopsided decades of Southern dominance that got the sport to this point. Production: Anthony Vito.

Richard breaks news in Sports Illustrated about the staffer at the center of the Michigan sign-stealing saga, and he talks about the story with Alex and Steven. The group assesses what we know about Michigan’s operation and what might come next. Production: Anthony Vito.

The college football season Week 6 recap, fast and detailed from Alex Kirshner and Richard Johnson. Oklahoma looks great, Texas still looks fine, and the rest of the Big 12 does not. Maryland might, eventually, win one of these games. The Mountain West looks poised to claim a New Year’s bowl slot. And Mario Cristobal does something for which there’s just no excuse, ever, for any reason. Production: Anthony Vito.
