The Kansas Jayhawks started the season off about as well as you could hope for, and Andy Mitts and Kyle Davis are here to recap it all. They look at why this dominant win is something to celebrate, how Jalon Daniels impressed and a running back room so deep they are still looking for the bottom. The offensive line gets some love before looking at the defense, which had too many standouts to name them all. They even sneak in a quick look ahead to the West Virginia game. Then Andy runs through the hot starts for both Kansas Soccer and Kansas Volleyball before jumping to the news about the upcoming format change for the College Football Playoff.

Today's episode was supposed to just be a celebration of the beginning of the football season and some quick hits on what to expect, but the NCAA and ESPN/FOX had other ideas. Today, Andy is joined by Brendan Dzwierzynski of 580 Sports Talk to recap all the news before looking ahead to the excitement of the season opener. They start with the news that ESPN and FOX have agreed to start discussions for a possible extension/refresh of the Big 12 media rights agreement. That includes both why this is notable and also the impact of Brett Yormark as the new Big 12 Commissioner. Then they look at the news from the NCAA that the IARP is officially being retired in 2023. From there, they jump into what they are looking for this weekend before running through some picks.

After the first break, they jump into the defense, trying to identify where the team is expected to take a leap forward as well as the potential holes in the team for that side of the ball.

We are back to two episodes a week as we ramp up for the start of the college football season. Andy starts off this episode solo, doing a quick recap of fall camp action before hitting up several stories from around the athletic department. Then, Parker Fleming of CFB Graphs and the BetUS CFB show joins the podcast to talk about both his metric system and the use of advanced stats in general. It's a great primer on what advanced stats are trying to do, but equally important is the discussion about what you should NOT try to do with the various analytics that are floating out there.

The Opponent Preview series rolls on as we look at the Week 11 matchup against the Texas Tech Red Raiders. Today, Andy is joined by Albie Shore of the Tortillas and Takes Podcast.  They start by looking at the feeling around Lubbock after last year's firing of Matt Wells and the hiring of Joey McGuire. How do you set expectations for this team?  We fly around the offense, looking at the QB battle, the top-heavy running back room, and the full but unproven receivers and lineman.  From there, we jump to the defense, which has long been a deficiency for this program. How much improvement can we expect?  Finally, we look through a fairly difficult schedule. What are realistic expectations for Tech fans to have this year?
