Episode Synopsis


This week on Saturday vs Sunday, we dive into why Week Zero in college football feels like a gift from the football gods — especially after slogging through another brutal NFL preseason weekend.We admit it: earlier in the summer we convinced ourselves we were excited to watch preseason, to get a look at draft picks and see some depth chart battles. But after sitting through Lions vs. Dolphins and watching drives go backwards with endless penalties and retread quarterbacks, we’re done pretending. Preseason football is a terrible TV product. It’s unwatchable compared to what’s coming this Saturday.That’s why Week Zero couldn’t arrive soon enough. We break down the massive Iowa State vs. Kansas State showdown in Ireland — a game that could shape the Big 12 race right from the start. Continuity at quarterback and head coach matters, and both programs check that box. We also look at Kansas hosting Fresno State in a newly renovated Booth Stadium, with Jalen Daniels back under center against Kurt Warner’s son, E.J. Warner. Add in the start of the Dan Mullen era at UNLV, and you’ve got real storylines, real players, and real games that matter.This episode is about what we’ve been waiting for: football that counts. College Week Zero delivers intensity, uncertainty, and stakes. NFL preseason delivers three-and-outs, missed reads, and vanilla schemes. We know which one we’re watching.Week Zero is greater than preseason, and we couldn’t be happier.
