Daily podcast covering the biggest hot-button topics, players, games and moments in College Sports!
It's happening, people. The loaded slate of games that is Week One starts tomorrow and doesn't stop until Monday night in Chapel Hill. The only question now is, do you enough Diet Mountain Dew like Phil Steele does to get you through all these games? Phil stops by for a 30-minute jaunt through the dance card, plus offers some thoughts on value plays outside of the top 25 - which involve the MAC so I highly suggest you tune in for those. Wayne has some thoughts on Chapel Bill that must be heard to be believed. And Hartzell is just trying his best to keep this thing on the tracks. We've been waiting all offseason for this moment and it's about that time, folks!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Week 1 is days away from getting going and buddy, the football is about to be coming at us in waves this week. Starting Thursday there is college ball for five straight days. Let it wash over you. Get ready to bathe in all this football we got coming up. There is some heavy Big Ten discussion on the show today as we wrap up our preseason conference previews, this one in the form of former Buckeye Ben Hartsock. Deep dives on what he expects to see with B1G heavyweights like Ohio State, Michigan, and Penn State. The team nobody's talking about but probably should be (Oregon). Plus all of these 'mid-pack' squads like Illinois, Indiana, Nebraska, and others who are fighting to be in the mix for these at-large CFP spots. A full download on the might Big Ten in the middle of the show, then we're back to breaking down these week 1 games and getting an 11-pack of Rodstradamus' finest picks to wrap the showSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
The SEC decided on Thursday to add a ninth conference game starting in 2026. Seems like a pretty significant piece of news to drop less than 48 hours from the start of the season, and the guys are here to talk about it. A heavy dive into the Southeastern Conference is on deck today, thanks to Chris Phillips from SEC Unlimited dropping by with his preseason takes. Who does Chris like to make it to Atlanta? Is it Texas and everyone else in this league? Who is he most worried about? And who is the most over-rated SEC team in his mind as we approach the start of the season? Felder has a metaphor about why Georgia's offense is like when he takes his daughter bowling that you're going to want to hear. It's the week zero edition of Felder Friday, enjoy it!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

You already know what time it is. Midweek edition of CSN finds you just three days out from the start of the college football season; Wayne Cook is highly caffeinated, Hartzell is poking the bear, and the Godfather himself - Phil Steele - returns to the main stage for his season debut. The guys talk about Phil's magazine - which you need to get to Barnes & Nobles yesterday to get for kickoff - but there are real, actual football games to break down, people. Come for the banter, stay for the Week Zero picks which, let's be honest, you know you want.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Game week is here and we are officially back with the full cast of CSN characters! Hartzell is joined alongside Roddy Jones and Tripp Hurd to break down actual football games that start in *checks notes* just four days. And since the best game of this weekend involves two Big 12 teams you might as well get the best Big 12 analyst in the game, so that's exactly what we did. Shehan Jeyarajah covers college football for CBS Sports and he helps the guys break down this conference like very few can. How many teams are in the mix to actually win this league? Can Arizona State do the thing again? Does Shehan buy Baylor & Utah & Texas Tech at the top of this conference? And - oh by the way - pretty big game in Ireland this Saturday to kick off the week zero between Iowa State and Kansas State, which the guys discuss at length. A solid 30 minutes is dedicated just to the Big 12, plus we get some leans and locks from Roddy & Tripp who both have alter egos and aren't afraid to make some picks ahead of toe meets leather for week zero!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

We have not one, but two ACC legends with us to help break down the league. Hartzell has ten questions to drive the discussion and they are:1- Are we buying the GT hype?2- Is Miami finally going to do the thing?3- Where is the weakness on Clemson?4- How are we feeling about these week 1 non-con games?5- Who is the best football team in the state of North Carolina?6- Is Stanford the worst Power 4 team in America?7- SMU or Louisville, who ya got?8- Florida State's win total is 6.5 ... over or under?9- Will Virginia Tech get back to relevancy this season?10- The coach with the hottest seat in the league is ____________Enjoy nearly two hours of ACC talk from the guys who know it better than most. We got actual football games in 9 games, lets go people!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Summer is over, folks. Kids are back to school, college football season is a little more than two weeks away, and our man Wayne Cook has a lot to say about the sport we all love. The guys are breaking down Wayno's top-5 storylines going into the season, and Hartzell is doing his best to NOT talk about a certain school in LA coming off a 5-win season. Plenty of talk about schedules (which are, by nature, unbalanced), quarterbacks, and the biases that affect how we consume so much of our college football content (hint: stop feeding at the trough). Wayne is fired up, which you would expect after 6 months off. Thank you for listening and we can't wait to talk ball with you all season long!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Special episode of CSN where Hartzell, Felder, and Surber join forces to talk CFB26 with EA's Principal Game Designer Ben Haumiller. We're a month out from real, actual college football games ... so let's talk about what we've all been doing for the last couple weeks, which is building these dynasties on CFB26! Surbs is an elite gamer, Hartzell is not very good at the game, and Felder doesn't even play ... but the guys have questions and Ben's got answers. What's changed about the game from last year? When can you expect the first update? And how do you stop throwing so many INTs? Hopefully this helps hold you over until the regular dose of CSN's start cranking up in a couple of weeks when Roddy, Wayne, Tripp, and the rest of the gang all start punching the clock!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Schass and Kahn also circle the wagons from the previous weekend in college baseball, dive deep into the numbers, both good and bad, and bid farewell to hoops season while saying hello to The Masters! College Baseball can be inexplicable at times, and WE LOVE THAT!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
The Florida Gators are kings of college basketball after the dust settled on an all-time Final Four in San Antonio. We got Matt Norlander emptying the notebook on everything he saw, reported, and took in from the weekend (plus a bunch of stuff that didn't make it into the final edit - including some great behind-the-scenes nuggets at the Alamodome). Plenty of stuff on Florida's title, but also the Houston story, the Duke collapse, and the Auburn squad that ended up finishing a distant 4th in terms of storylines from the Final Four. There is a lot to get to, the guys run through it all in reverse chronological order, and we put a bow on the basketball season as only we can here on CSN - which means Norlander's recap of the Pit Bull & Lionel Richie shows he took in during the San Antonio trip!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
UConn wins its 12th national championship in historic fashion, beating #1 overall seed UCLA by 34 in the national semis and defending champ South Carolina by 23 in the title game. Megan Gauer and Rob Joyce break down the Huskies' run to a championship, putting the capper on a historic collegiate career for Paige Bueckers (and bring on a special guest to bring a more family-like feel to the show). They also talk about the successful seasons for the Gamecocks (yeah, they're still good), Bruins (yes, still an excellent year) and Longhorns (ditto) and take a sneak-peak at '25-26 with some portal news and a way-too-early top-5. Thanks for tuning in all season long to the Gauer Hour!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
A tradition unlike any other. We got the whole gang - Roddy, Felder, Wayne, Surber, and Hartzell - back for the annual drafting of teams. There is football talk that inevitably makes it into the show; what to do about Spring games, NFL draft takes, and the Chapel Bill situation. But let's be real ... you're here for the golf takes. It's Masters week, folks!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Three of the famed creators of the Borgoball, Blake, Brett and Tatem, join Dugouts, Dumbbells & Dingers to talk all things Backyard Baseball Bros with Kyle Schassburger and David Kahn!

Final Four in San Antonio is set, so let's talk about it. Norlander and Hartzell break down the weekend that was - including a Sweet 16 and Elite 8 recap from all four regions - plus a lookahead to what on paper could be the best set of Final Four games ... ever? The guys have a disagreement on whether or not Jon Scheyer has over-achieved in his first three years at Duke (Norlander says yes, Hartzell says no), and we have on-the-ground reporting from Newark over the weekend. Gators and Auburn did the things. Houston is a monster, and you knew it was going to end like this, Vols fans. Sorry that it had to happen in the Elite 8. Retirement watch in Knoxville? And speaking of coaches, Norlander empties the notebook on everything that went down with the messy split between Maryland and Kevin Willard. From Crab Five to coach-less and AD-less in the span of a week. Tough scene for the folks in College Park!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

A very special Monday night edition of CSN recapping the first two rounds of the NCAA Tournament because Norlander has been absolutely grinding over the coaching carousel and we had to push the show back a cool 10 hours. Yes, the carousel is at maximum capacity, but we're here to recap the actual games from Thursday - Sunday. There is audio of the Derik Queen buzzer-beater to break Colorado State hearts, and then we're off to the races. Hartzell has his list of top 8 games of the tournament so far. Norlander absolutely loses it recapping the Mick Cronin transcript from UCLA's loss to Tennessee, and oh so much more. Do we ever need to hear from Amir Khan again? Too bad because he'll be at the Final Four. Plus the NCAA court designs have actually gotten worse.

Consider this your NCAA Tournament fast pass. Thirty-two games. Under 45 minutes. We hit on each one (okay, we largely ignored the 1/16 and 2/15 matchups), breakdown who is going to advance, who is primed for a Cinderella run, and at whose expense, and we make our official Final Four and national championship selections. Plus, thoughts on the field as a whole off the top, and why the bracket as it looks was a perfectly reasonable outcome, despite what some notable head coaches believed.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
We have our bracket, the field is set, and now we're going to talk about it. Norlander and Hartzell spend an hour running through the teams, matchups, stories, gripes, complaints, snubs, you name it. Both guys are operating on very little rest but the bracket is out and we must respect the bracket. If you're not planning your week around games tipping at 12:15 ET on a Thursday afternoon then you need to do better, people. We made it, fam. It's Tournament time!See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Norlander is in NYC covering the Big East. Hartzell is in Nashville covering the SEC. The torch is literally being passed from the old mecca to the new one on today's show, which is absolutely loaded because - I mean, have you SEEN the slate of games on deck today? The guys start in the ACC and talk about Cooper Flagg's injury and what it means for Duke, and from there it's a conference whiparound. Big East > SEC > Big 12 > Big Ten > MWC. Coaching carousel talk to wrap the show (because business there is about to pick up in a big way today). A lot to get to and not a ton of time, so the guys pack in all into a power-hour edition of CSN on the Friday of conference tournament week. Selection Sunday is two days away, people!
