The Splittin' Gaps Podcast
Stagione 2
di Charlie O'Kane and Brendan Beachler
Martini and I discuss why the NFL refuses to develop their officiating, Dickhead high schooler antics on signing day, Matt Ryan, and why NFL Scouts get so bricked for unsuccessful college quarterbacks on their pro day.
We are back to discuss the CFP and the return of the Michigan Wolverines to CFB's elite class. Georgia has been the best team in the country for two years, but get an unlucky draw with OSU while Duggan and Sonny Dykes look to take down Michigan and send the Big 12 to their first CFP National Championship.
Will Levis, if you're reading this, what blue-blood women's soccer program did your mother play for? We break down the Heisman Race, this week's CFP rankings, why Will Levis is worshipped as a draft prospect, and the history of the "benefit of the doubt" within the CFB Committee.
The first installment of the 2022 CFP rankings came out Tuesday night, and the committee's subjectivity is on full display. MSU alum and current reporter joins the program to discuss the CFB season so far, the MSU-UM fiasco, and why he believes Brian Kelly will win a Natty in Baton Rouge before his time in Death Valley is over. Picks for this weekend's slate are discussed. SGP celebrates its first anniversary on 11/5, thank y'all for everything.
Texas A&M is Dead, who is to blame for their inability to establish themselves as a contender during the Jimbo Era? We run through the scenarios that may present themselves to the Playoff Committee in the coming weeks, and Brendan Beachler has touched down in the Chi.
We discuss the obsession of NFL fanbases in defining/identifying their franchise quarterback, which might actually not be as important as people think. perhaps the greatest CFB atmosphere ever in Knoxville last weekend + the rest of Saturday's slate, the Bears are inept, and the Khash man returns to talk the meteoric rise of Illinois football this season.
Yordan drops a nuke on Seattle, the Phillies are the most confident team left in the field, and more on the MLB Playoffs. The CFP will be cut in half after this week's matchups, and The Vols look to establish themselves as a legit top 4 team, and the Deep State is trying to deplatform me after handing out the Dante Pettis long reception winner this week.
Mizzou and their 260 lb. kicker almost take down the consensus #1 Georgia Bulldogs, Bryce Young Injury, Ohio State being classless as usual, and the Jayhawk dream stays alive in large part to George Ohanessian // The Lions have an electrifying offense beautifully paired with perhaps the worst defense to ever take an NFL field, the Eagles are elite, Rip Tua, and the Bears and Giants met for their annual not-so-professional football game // Randal Grichuk burns Marty, The expanded playoff has the boys juiced, Aaron Judge and the NYY have stolen the valor of much greater ongoing baseball storylines, and we give our picks for this year's October Hero. CFB, NFL, and MLB, loaded show, tap in.
Rock(4-0)Chalk Jayhawk, Sam Hartman almost made Beachler cream, the SEC is actually better this year than years past, and Mel Tucker just robbed East Lansing harder than Tee Grizzly.
Half of the SPG Crew took on Columbus for the legendary Week 1 matchup in the Shoe, and the Irish covered. OSU underwhelmed, Utah broke the heart of Brendan Beachler, Georgia could probably win the AFC South, and a 2009 Natty rematch in Austin this weekend. Tap in.
