Running the "5-5-2" on good and bad surprises
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.) Plus a tasting menu for the weekend and vested interests.

Let's frame up what's happening at Auburn
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. We take a range of Patreon questions, pick the Red River Shootout, and then get into the Week 6 tasting menu. Subscribe to our Patreon podcasts at splitzoneduo.com. Production: Anthony Vito.

What Georgia Tech says (or doesn't say) about Atlanta
Richard, Godfrey, and Alex start this episode with an extended discussion of Georgia Tech, a job that says a lot (but also leaves a lot unsaid!) about both Atlanta and college football. 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? Plus a history lesson on why the service academies don't score on each other, then a tasting menu for the weekend. Subscribe to our Patreon at splitzoneduo.com for bonus episodes and more.

The Week 4 Hurry-Up moves at a deliberate pace
Richard Johnson and Alex Kirshner debrief you on the week that was in college football. Adrian Martinez gave Oklahoma a world of hurt. Clemson looked like Clemson. 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 lost a game 98-0.

College Football Show-and-Tell
It's a big show this week to commemorate SZD's second birthday. This show starts with some talk about the Arizona State coach search to come, then continues with "College Football Show-and-Tell" on Washington, Stanford, and various teams that are rapidly changing their on-field identities. Then we take a lot of questions from listeners, make picks on what might be the lowest over/under in modern history, and go through the tasting menu for the weekend.
