New series! It's the Split Zone Duo TEAM OF THE WEEK, a weekly episode in which guest host Rodger Sherman joins Alex and/or Richard to talk in detail about one college football team doing something interesting. That team can be good or bad or anything in between, as long it has a compelling story. This week, we spin off North Dakota State's first game in FBS, a blowout win over Jacksonville State, and talk about the long arc of the Bison.Producer: Anthony Vito This is a public episode.

Game week is here for No. 14 BYU, and KSL Sports BYU Insider Mitch Harper delivers a jam-packed episode to get Cougar Nation fully locked in ahead of Saturday's season opener against Utah Tech at LaVell Edwards Stadium (6 p.m. MT, ESPN+ and KSL NewsRadio). Mitch opens the show with the biggest off-the-field headline of the week: the BYU athletic department has been restructured, with AD Brian Santiago no longer overseeing football operations directly. The move comes after weeks of public tension between Santiago and head coach Kalani Sitake, who turned down Penn State last winter and has been vocal about BYU needing to invest more resources into the football program. Sitake addressed the restructuring during his Monday press conference, sharing his thoughts on the changes and what they mean for the program moving forward. Mitch breaks down Sitake's comments and wonders: Will this be a distraction for BYU football in 2026? As it was last year leading up to the Big 12 Championship Game? Mitch Harper sits down with a familiar voice in the Utah sports broadcasting world — Rod Zundel, the "Voice of the Trailblazers" and Director of Broadcasting and Multimedia Content for Utah Tech Athletics — for a special game-week conversation previewing Saturday's BYU-Utah Tech season opener at LaVell Edwards Stadium. Before becoming the play-by-play voice calling Utah Tech football, men's basketball, and baseball on FM 99.5 in St. George, Zundel spent nearly 24 years at KSL-TV in Salt Lake City as a sports anchor and reporter. He hosted SportsBeat Saturday and Sunday, KSL 5 Golf Utah, and KSL 5 Outdoor Adventures. He's been calling Trailblazer games since 2022, when Utah Tech made its transition to Division I and the WAC, and now enters his first year covering the program in the Big Sky Conference. In the interview, Zundel gives Cougar Nation the insider view from St. George. He shares what Utah Tech looked like in its Week 0 season opener — a 54-0 loss to No. 1 Montana State at Greater Zion Stadium — and what third-year head coach Lance Anderson's team is working on as it prepares to travel to Provo for its first game against an FBS opponent this season. Zundel discusses the Utah Tech quarterback situation, and the players and schemes BYU fans should keep an eye on Saturday. He also touches on the state of Utah Tech athletics as the Trailblazers embark on their first season in the Big Sky, what the program's long-term trajectory looks like, and the unique challenge of preparing an FCS squad to walk into a packed LaVell Edwards Stadium and face the No. 14 team in the country. To close out the show, Mitch dives deep into BYU's first official depth chart of the 2026 season. Among the notable takeaways: true freshman wide receiver Legend Glasker is listed as a starter — the first true freshman to open as a starting wideout under Sitake. Cal transfer linebacker Cade Uluave has earned a starting nod at linebacker despite not yet playing a snap in a BYU uniform, and Oregon transfer Kyler Kasper slots in at another receiving spot. Bear Bachmeier returns as the unquestioned QB1 with Treyson Bourguet behind him. On defense, Kelly Poppinga's first depth chart as defensive coordinator features Faletau Satuala back at safety after recovering from his fractured foot, alongside Evan Johnson at corner and Keanu Tanuvasa anchoring the defensive line. Mitch goes position by position, highlighting the starters, the competition, and the names to watch Saturday night.

-Nebraska is believed to have the easiest non-conference schedule of any FBS team this season---so a 3-0 start is expected and is absolutelynecessary to achieve goals for the season. So, if we can't learn a ton about how this team will look vs. B1G teams…what can be seen as things tobuild on?-Is it the ability to force turnovers? Ability to get to the QB with a pass rush? A consistent, steady run game?Our Sponsors:* Check out Progressive: https://www.progressive.comAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Iowa and Iowa State football are finally here, and Murph & Andy debate the ceiling and floor for both teams and whether those win totals are realistic heading into Saturday's season openers. The guys also react to a wild college football weekend, including North Carolina's win over TCU, TCU's 11 penalties, USC's embarrassing empty-stadium situation, North Dakota State's first FBS game, Hawaii vs. Stanford, and Grand View's 51-0 win over Peru State. Plus, they discuss Xavier Nwankpa signing with the Kansas City Chiefs, Max Llewellyn joining the Miami Dolphins, the bizarre Daejon Love alleged scam involving 26 women and $1.3 million, and Jenny's first pitch at the Bondurant Little League fundraiser. And in Who Won the Weekend?, Murph & Andy highlight former NBA star Harrison Barnes, who has invested $25 million of his own money and become the majority owner of a local bank. Murph & Andy.

College football is officially back, and Week 0 gave us plenty to chew on before the season really gets rolling. We start with North Carolina getting some revenge on TCU in Ireland, then turn to Virginia's emphatic win over NC State and a huge opening performance from Beau Pribula. How much should we believe after one game, and which results actually changed the way we see these teams? From there, we work through USC's somewhat misleading final score against San Jose State, Florida State's uneven opener against New Mexico State and a late-night Memphis-UNLV game that may have made the Group of Six playoff race a little more interesting. We also discuss Stanford's dramatic finish against Hawaii and the very different FBS welcome parties for North Dakota State and Sacramento State. Plus, the return of college football meant the debut of some noticeable changes to the TV experience. We review ESPN's post-BottomLine world, the new on-screen indicator showing which announcer is speaking, a pronunciation controversy involving Beau Pribula and one moment of sweet Eastern Pennsylvania vindication.

North Carolina delivered Week Zero's biggest shock, holding TCU scoreless for the final 49 minutes of a rainy 15–10 upset in Dublin. Gary examines the Tar Heels' suddenly promising defense, Bobby Petrino's offensive debut, Billy Edwards Jr.'s steady performance and the costly penalties that doomed Sonny Dykes and the Horned Frogs.Memphis made an immediate statement under Charles Huff by overcoming UNLV's advantages in yardage, possession time and turnovers. The Tigers' dominant defensive front produced six sacks and helped reshape the early Group of Six College Football Playoff race.Virginia supplied the weekend's most complete performance, crushing NC State behind Bo Pribula, an experienced offensive line and a relentless rushing attack. The result raises expectations in Charlottesville while creating serious early questions for CJ Bailey and the Wolfpack.The rapid-fire reaction round covers Stanford's wild escape against Hawaii, Florida State's troubling performance against New Mexico State, USC's explosive start and defensive collapse, North Dakota State's dominant FBS debut and Sacramento State's unusual opener against Eastern Michigan.Gary also breaks down the most important Week Zero betting results: unders finished 6–2, favorites went just 4–4 against the spread and both outright underdog winners leaned on defense. Plus, a look ahead to a loaded Week 1 featuring LSU–Clemson, Oregon–Boise State, Notre Dame–Wisconsin and SMU–Florida State.

Week Zero has arrived, and the betting market is already moving dramatically across the eight-game college football slate. Gary examines the latest spreads, injury reports, quarterback decisions, betting splits and updated leans before Saturday's action begins.TCU is receiving overwhelming support ahead of its Dublin rematch with North Carolina, pushing the Horned Frogs close to a double-digit favorite. However, the history of unders and outright underdog victories in Ireland could make that movement dangerous.USC is laying nearly 40 points against San Jose State as Lincoln Riley begins a playoff-or-bust season with Gary Patterson running the defense. Virginia enters its ACC opener against NC State with an extensive injury report, while the Wolfpack arrive relatively healthy.North Dakota State and Sacramento State make their FBS debuts under completely different circumstances. The Bison host Jacksonville State inside an energized Fargodome, while Sacramento State travels three time zones to face an experienced Eastern Michigan team.Stanford attempts to avenge last season's loss to Hawaii while dealing with offensive-line concerns and significant market support for the Rainbow Warriors. Florida State's spread against New Mexico State has climbed beyond 32 points, creating a difficult decision for anyone who missed the earlier number.The night concludes with Memphis visiting UNLV in a potential Group of Six playoff eliminator. Neither program has officially settled its quarterback situation, but market money continues moving toward the Tigers.Gary also reveals his four-team underdog round robin and explains why quarterback announcements could still move several Week Zero lines before kickoff.

College football is finally back! In this episode, we get ready for the first Saturday of the 2026 season with our full Week 0 preview and picks, starting with TCU and North Carolina in Ireland and working through all eight games on the slate. Which teams can we actually trust right out of the gate, which new quarterbacks and coordinators are worth watching, and could Week 0 give us a few games that matter much more than they initially appear? We dig into the first game action for USC and Florida State, disagree on NC State-Virginia, welcome North Dakota State and Sacramento State to the FBS ranks and try to make sense of Stanford-Hawaii before closing with a Memphis-UNLV game that could have bigger postseason implications than most people realize. Along the way, we drop our score predictions, identify a potential upset and play a few sound effects to get you ready for gameday. Before the games, we also catch up on the latest college football news, including a wave of quarterback decisions, the increasingly bizarre eligibility fight over players trying to return from the NFL, another Lane Kiffin-related circus and ESPN making a notable change to its college football broadcasts.

Did Mike Tomlin ‘ruin' Minkah Fitzpatrick? The former Steelers safety talked about why he wasn't utilized correctly in Pittsburgh in his final season or so. He says he's at his best moving all over the field in different roles, but we didn't see that from Fitzpatrick in his last few years with the team. Minkah could have played centerfield for the Pirates given where the Steelers had him lined up. The guys are intrigued by Patrick Graham leading the defense because he may not be stuck into ideas of the past. There seems to be more and more examples of players not used in their best ways under Tomlin. How often will we see the 3 top edge rushers on the field at the same time? 93.7 The Fan Sports Director Jeff Hathhorn joined the show. Jeff thinks Will Howard has to have 3 good games in the preseason to take over as QB2 in the battle against Mason Rudolph. Jeff said Mason is going about this as a professional, which has been common over his time in Pittsburgh. Jeff explained the trickiness of the evaluation for the coaches when it comes to backup QB. Jeff said Drew Allar is the one QB that has nothing to lose in the Steelers QB room. Jeff expects to see a lot of Roman Wilson and Germie Bernard last night because he isn't confident DK Metcalf or Michael Pittman suit up. Has Lew Nichols thrown a wrench into the RB3 battle? Jeff told the guys we could see Broderick Jones play both tackle spots tomorrow night. Jeff doubts Max Iheanachor will play and why that puts him behind the 8-ball to be the starter at right tackle. The guys asked how much we will see Robert Spears-Jennings, who has taken advantage of some camp opportunities. Why has Spencer Anderson been mostly untested at right guard? Jeff explained why we haven't heard much about Gennings Dunker so far. Donny Football Debrief – CBS Sports ranked all 138 FBS programs heading into 2026. Who was 1?

Akron head coach Joe Moorhead joins Ken and Anthony to explain the viral season-ticket promotion letting one lucky fan help script the Zips' opening drive against Robert Morris, admitting he thought it was ridiculous at first before buying in once he saw the potential exposure and revenue for a program with the lowest operating budget in FBS football. Moorhead insists it will be a true collaboration rather than a gimmick, walking through how he builds his actual game plan and stressing he addressed it with players immediately so it wouldn't undercut the team's focus. He also admits he'd feel differently if he weren't the primary play-caller himself, which helps ease some of Ken's skepticism. By the end of the interview, Ken concedes Moorhead fully won him over on a promotion he walked in ready to rip apart.

On this episode, Sam discusses his most likely FCS over FBS upsets in the 2026 season.Will the number of FCS over FBS wins increase this fall? And would one of them even be considered an upset?

In this episode, we revisit the most underrated games of the Kirby Smart era—from Nick Chubb's triumphant return against North Carolina and the defensive slugfest against Clemson to statement wins over Florida, Tennessee, Arkansas, and Mississippi State. We also debate whether a loss can qualify as underrated, remember Georgia's Peach Bowl comeback against Cincinnati, and share honorable mentions from nearly a decade of dominant Georgia football. Finally, we reveal our top choices: the dramatic 2022 comeback at Missouri and the 49–3 demolition of Oregon that launched an undefeated national championship season. Fall camp is here, Season Six of Row Sixty is underway, and it's officially time to get fired up about Georgia football.

I stopped in to interview Mike Buddie on my recent HEA Road Trip and if you want to see a tour of their facilities watch the YouTube video introduction.Buddie's wisdom is on full display in this interview as he covers practical things like how to get to work by knowing who should be on the list to contact when you get a new AD job. Mike shares his thought process on leaving Army for TCU, who he reached out to for counsel, and how he kept close to the challenges facing ADs outside the academies so that he could speak intelligently and truthfully in an interview. He gives his thoughts on outside industry trends and what traditional administrators like himself can do to stay ahead of the changes to college athletics. Texas is crowded with FBS schools seeking corporate deals and Buddie shares TCU's approach to make Fort Worth and its surrounding communities purple. Mike talks about how ADs care about their former schools and help their successors years after leaving the chair.0:00 Critical. Urgent.

Alex and Richard conduct the second annual Coach Firing/Retirement/Departure Confidence Draft, assigning point values to 27 FBS coaches based on how likely they are to leave their jobs after the 2026 season, either because they got fired or retired. (Poachings are not included.) Last year, Alex scored a narrow victory thanks to his bold and successful pick of Kyle Whittingham to be out at Utah after the season. Can Richard fight back?The board runs in order of tenure, from Kirk Ferentz's 28th year at Iowa to Bill Belichick's second at North Carolina, and produces wide gaps on Joe Moorhead, Mike Norvell, Luke Fickell, and the exact meaning of a Lincoln Riley departure.
