The Freeze image machine and Champs Weekend

November 30, 2022 18:37 - 1 hour - 52.6 MB

Godfrey, Richard, and Alex dive into the rehabilitation of Hugh Freeze's public image, and how Freeze's camp, Liberty, Auburn, and helpful media helped land him the big chair at Auburn. Then, let's talk about every conference championship game. Does an injured Utah have the firepower for USC? Are you aware of what UNT QB Austin Aune is doing? How much more can Toledo fans (or Ohio fans, for that matter) take? Is K-State going to run it well against TCU? Can LSU's freshman tackles hold up aga...

LSU and Notre Dame revisited, Bama woes, and Roll Wave

November 09, 2022 18:38 - 1 hour - 55.7 MB

The Brian Kelly-Marcus Freeman coaching musical chairs game in late 2021 was one of the biggest carousel stories ever. After some shakiness for LSU and some worse-than-shakiness for Notre Dame, both are looking great. How much can we take away from what we've seen from the two of them in the new jobs to date? Plus: Alabama is clearly not Alabama. Let's argue about why. Tulane hosts UCF in what could be one of the games of the year. The Week 11 Tasting Menu is a big one, too. Production: Anth...

A&M, Miami, and the price of perception

October 26, 2022 17:12 - 1 hour - 76.2 MB

Godfrey, Richard, and Alex aim for a levelheaded discussion about what's wrong with Texas A&M on the field, and whether there's any way to fix it off the field after signing over the university to Jimbo Fisher. Miami is also having a brutal year, and something Mario Cristobal said this week brings up an interesting point about what's possible when you're coaching Miami. Oregon, on the other hand, is having a great time. Kirk Ferentz's media relations are wild. The Week 9 Tasting Menu is here...

October 19, 2022 18:01 - 1 hour - 81.4 MB

Godfrey, Richard, and Alex pick out some teams doing really well, then some teams doing poorly, and talk about them through a short-term, medium-term, and long-term lens. What do their next five weeks look like? What about the next five months? And what about the next two years? Who's in danger of buying high, who has it good, and who is arriving at a weird tension point? (Teams: TCU, Syracuse, Ole Miss, Tennessee, UCLA, Arkansas State, Michigan State, Wisconsin, Boston College, and Indiana....

Richard and Alex start the show by talking about the recent coach firings at Colorado and Wisconsin. Justin Ferguson, publisher of the Auburn Observer, joins the program to talk about the bizarre last year (even by Auburn standards) on the Plains, how the fanbase is feeling heading into what might be a dramatic weekend, and the state of the Auburn psyche.

After that: LSU and FSU might actually both just be pretty solid. The Pac-12 might be having its best year in a long time. And is 2022 a bad year or a great year for the Group of 5?

Gene Chizik is still UNC's defensive coordinator. Miami has problems, but FSU might not? Mizzou-Auburn was a science experiment. Minnesota dropped a piano on Michigan State. JMU put the largest comeback of the year on App State. Iowa and Rutgers hit the over. Washington might just be good. Cal scored 49 points. Someone lo...

Early narratives: Buyer beware

September 14, 2022 16:33 - 1 hour - 53.8 MB

The college football season is, somehow, one-sixth going on a quarter complete. After talking about Nebraska for a few minutes to open the show, Godfrey, Richard, and Alex try to separate fact from fiction among some early-season narratives that people could choose to believe in (feat. some Bama, some Clemson, some USC, some Air Force, and more). We draft winless teams who might still turn their seasons around, and WVU and Notre Dame are not among the teams picked. Alex makes the boldest sta...

Richard Johnson and Alex Kirshner take you on a 44-minute, detail-packed trip through a loaded Week 2 in college football. This show starts with some blockbusters in the Sun Belt and ripples out from there. Marshall is not a regular Group of 5 program. App State dominated A&M, but situationally. Georgia Southern just learned the forward pass, and Nebraska still couldn't stop it. Texas showed something. Kanas State obliterated Mizzou in every phase of the game. Iowa State did something that h...

College football is a small sample size sport, so let's take stock of how our impressions of a handful of teams did (and did not) change in Week 1.

The Week 1 Hurry-Up, from Ohio State to St. Francis

September 04, 2022 15:01 - 42 minutes - 29 MB

Richard and Alex take you on a lean but detailed journey through Week 1 in college football. Ohio State does business the old way. Anthony Richardson might be the man. Houston/UTSA and Pitt/WVU play regional bangers. Georgia just has better players. Kirk Ferentz makes a decision. Penn State has a QB with a rocket arm, and it's not the starter. Virginia Tech does something it should never do ... again. App State and ECU come face to face with pain. Oklahoma State is back to itself. SMU still ...

A beefy Week 1 preview and some reactions to the last week

August 31, 2022 17:56 - 1 hour - 51 MB

Before getting into a substantial preview of Week 1, Godfrey, Richard, and Alex talk about a few stories away from the field. The episode starts with a discussion of the sexual assault story at San Diego State that broke last week and how we in the college football media cover people we don't really know, and that goes until approximately the 10:05 mark of the show. Then we pick through Auburn's ousting of its athletic director (yeah, it's what it looks like) and give some Week 0 perspective...

The Big Ten and MAC 2022 preview episode

August 23, 2022 19:50 - 1 hour - 95.1 MB

We think this might be the longest episode in SZD history. Conference preview season concludes with college football's Midwestern and "Midwestern" conferences, making an effort to get into detail on every single team in the Big Ten and MAC. Which Big Ten East mega-extension is most likely to look regrettable in four months? What kind of Ohio State season will this be? Is it finally time for a Toledo breakthrough? Does *Maryland* have the Big Ten's second best passing offense? Can NI...
