CFB's Six (or Seven?) Actual Title Contenders

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.splitzoneduo.com Alex and Richard take a big handful of subscriber questions after Week 11, starting with actual football and then moving to coach business: * Which plausible title contenders are most overrated, and which are most overlooked? (This part of the episode is the free preview that all can hear.) * Is Notre Dame’s ACC relationship helping ND more than it helps the league? * How sustainable is Virginia’s surge—real progress or lucky break? * What do we think of this particular SEC reffing conspiracy? * Why do close Bama wins get our approval while others are framed as “getting away with it”? What does the latter mean? * Could Haynes King actually win the Heisman? Assuming note, what is a better way to honor this memorable player? * When should a mid-tier Power 4 or G5 school sit out the coaching carousel, and what’s the real value above replacement for a 6-6 coach? * What do we make of UNLV’s rent-a-coach strategy, if that’s what it is? * Should South Carolina be done with Shane Beamer? * Can we recreate a post-House settlement tiering structure for what makes a good job? * If Colorado opens, how much shine remains post-Deion? * How have Alabama boosters responded to the DeBoer era so far? * Do early firings at blue-blood programs hurt their odds of landing top coaches? We are skeptical but let’s hear the theory.
