Richard is joined by co-host emeritus Steven Godfrey to talk parity, upsets, and the takeaways from an admittedly wild 2026 college football regular season to date. There’ve been some comparisons to the truly wildest season in recent college football memory, but we are here to tell you why they’re not quite the same. Regrettably, Alex is not here to wax poetic about 13-9.
Production: Anthony “Rutgers Detester” Vito
