It's Just Math

SVP and Stanford Steve are joined by Bruce Feldman to discuss the biggest topics and answer the top burning questions heading into the college football season. The guys get Bruce’s thoughts on the Big Ten pecking order, his thoughts on Miami, the B1G team that could be flying under the radar and more. Plus, which first-year head coach is most likely to turn things around quickly? Is this Notre Dame’s year? How much pressure is on Steve Sarkisian and Dan Lanning? Plus why the Big 12 is still Texas Tech’s league to lose, G6 teams to keep an eye on, behind Feldman’s ‘Freak List’ and a full breakdown of the legal chaos that is consuming the sport. Scott and Steve also recap Week 0, the Daejon Love situation, Scottie Scheffler’s Cup win and discuss what’s coming up. | SVPod Approximate Timecodes: (0:00) Intro (2:35) The conversation dominating CFB (6:10) Week 0 Recap (19:35) Bruce Feldman joins SVPod!
