The Splittin' Gaps Podcast

We are joined by a very special guest on this week's episode as Buffalo Defensive Coordinator Coach Joe Bowen hops on with us to talk the state of College Football, coaching philosophy, MACtion, and much more. Coach Bowen is the current Defensive Coordinator at the University at Buffalo, leading the team to their second 9-win season in school history in just his first year in the role. Coach Bowen...

The moment that we foretold 3 years ago on this show has finally arrived, and the Round 1 matchups are set to already be some of the best matchups of the Playoff Era. We breakdown the Heisman Award and the 'snubbing' of Ashton Jeanty as well as where he ranks all-time in the snub department. Does Dabo silence the country and take down Texas? Does Small Game James drop a shitter against SMU? Does R...

We are 3 days away from Selection Sunday, and the penultimate rankings from Tuesday have fanbases across the country staking their claim (and disavowing others) for a ticket to the dance. 3-loss SEC teams, and 2-loss everyone else will see once and for all just how biased the committee is this weekend, and we have a few thoughts on the matter... Joe Tessatore letting it slip during rivalry week, d...

The 2nd Playoff Rankings are here and the B10 holds 4/5 top spots, with the SEC hanging at the back of the line. Can the G5 Champ go into the Playoff ranked higher than the B12 Champ? Can the SEC thin their own herd or will a slew of 2/3-loss teams find themselves playing in? We run through the top 13 teams in the ranking and the direction of each contender over the last month of the season.

Bedlam in CFB Week 6 and Goalposts in the Cumberland: Saturday we saw 5/10 AP Top Ranked Teams go down, with Miami escaping late to keep it from being 6 of the top 11. The SEC has been upended by the emergence of TAMU, Vandy, and Arkansas, opening the door for a few 3-loss bids for this December's CFP. Also, where do the Irish need to be at come week 12 for a shot into this open playoff field?

After Week 5 of the CFB season the B10 and SEC have come out to dominate the national scene and assert the 'Power 2' narrative early on in 2024. The bottom half of the SEC is slowly gaining traction in the conference and is making for some very interesting matchups that may have been overlooked on the schedule. Also, Ashton Jeanty is putting together what could be one of the greatest rushing seaso...

The resurgence of the 'boy-wonder' Freshman QB is setting the stage for a very unique College Football Playoff in 2024. The Bulldogs reel in Lexington while the rest of the SEC was out for blood this past weekend. Who is on the shortlist of teams that can compete against the class of the SEC this year? All that and the face of Charlotte Sports, Joey Ellis, might be on 0-17 watch here in his first...

What a Week 1 we witnessed this past LDW. The dogs around the country impressed with their physicality and ability to bang with the bigger squads. USC, ND, Miami, and BC all flexed their muscle in the trenches this weekend, and it is certainly a trend we can get behind. Also, will Deion entertain jobs like FSU following the departure of his son? And how the Gators were sent to an early grave.

FSU crumbled in Dublin after an offseason of strife with the CFP Committee, DJ U proved that Jonathan Smith is a miracle worker, and the ACC is now up for grabs. Week 1 kicks off in just three short days and we are blessed with some early clashes from around the country. Can ND win a big early road game in hostile territory? Can the Gators send a message early that they are ready for their schedul...

The nation rejoices as the game 10 years in the making has finally hit the market, just in time to hold us over during the final stretch without CFB. Also, the expanded playoff, conference realignment, and new QB/HC faces are discussed ahead of the 2024/25 season.

For the first time in the show's history, Mr. Gaps takes the night off and bestows the hosting duties to Beach as he welcomes Assistant Pro Colin Kelly (of the Springfield Country Club) to discuss the recent play in the world of Golf. Beach and Colin discuss Scheffler's dominant run, Rory's return to top form, and the upcoming PGA Championship at Valhalla this weekend as the boys offer their picks...

The NFL Draft is here and with it comes one of the most talented classes of young players in history. Will 6 QB's go in the first? Will we see a record number of WR's taken this year? We break down the players and the trades that could shake up this year's draft.

We are as ready for March as anyone, and we have produced over 50 pages of literature on how to build your bracket and bet this tournament. Know the trends, know the teams, love the tournament. Splittingaps.com

The 50th episode in the lore of SGP is here - Beach and I talk combine standouts and what moves we would make if we were drafting inside the top 10. An embarrassment of riches at the WR position and where we stand on the top QB's in this year's draft.

We are back ahead of March, before we bring you the 2024 Bracket Bible, we have to see where we're at, team by team, conference by conference before the league tourneys which are quickly approaching. Special Guest Fredrickson CBB joins the show to provide his analysis on this year's top dawgs. Check out his blog at https://talkincollegebasketball.weebly.com/ Some technical difficulties on the prod...

First slate of bowls is upon us, we are giving out the plays that you need to be making this bowl season. Technical Difficulties here with the cut-off but we will be back with the next slate soon...

WE MIGHT GET DEPLATFORMED FOR THIS EPISODE AFTER EXPOSING THE ESPN DEEPSTATE! We discuss the controversial CFP final rankings and ChuckyGaps has some NSFW comments regarding ESPN's place in deciding National Championships in today's CFB Landscape. (0:30 - Beach finishes at #1) (3:45 - Instant Reaction to the Selection show) (9:30 - ESPN collusion with the Committee?) (19:30 - Pushing the Narrative...

Acclaimed reporter Joey Ellis joins the show once again to talk the state of Michigan football and the programs looking to restore tradition versus those trying to buy it. Also, Penn State is officially the redheaded stepchild of the SGP.

We discuss last weekend's slate as well as our time in Death Valley and Beachler's trip to the big house + the boys discuss the Wonderlic test and where we think we'd stack up amongst the NFL elite on the legendary test.

We look into the first CFP rankings from Tuesday and how yet again absolutely nothing makes sense. Also, ChuckyGaps and Martini take on Death Valley this Saturday.

PSU once again proves they will forever play 3rd fiddle to Michigan and OSU in the B10 West under James Franklin. We depose Beach and his possible involvement in the Michigan sign-stealing scandal

After the shellacking in South Bend, some concerns have arisen around the already crowned top pick and generational talent, Caleb Williams. We dive into his profile as a future pro-style QB, leader, and how maybe Caleb was just a Trojan Horse. Doomsday scenarios are on the table for the Playoff Committee with the possibility of 5 conference champions with the same record that will force them to le...

Your boy takes on the death defying task of executing a solo podcast for the first time tonight diving into some of your questions on this CFB season.

Everyone is sick and tired of the CFB deep state arbitrarily ranking teams on narrative instead of substance. We denounce the AP Poll and offer up some new ways to rate the country's top teams in this topical epi.

Perhaps the greatest September slate in CFB History is upon us.
