WATCH GRID: Well, here's some SEC football, I guess
Each week for several years now, the Watch Grid has sought to categorize your Saturday by watchability.
Hey there! You might be the kind of person who likes to subscribe to enjoyable college football podcasts. If so, perhaps try out Alex Kirshner and Richard Johnson as the newly launched Split Zone Duo, available via Apple, Spotify, Overcast, Pocket Casts, Stitcher, RSS, and so forth. Sunday night, we’ll get a quickie SZD recap of whatever it might be that takes place today.

The Shutdown Fullcast, the world’s only non-SZD college football podcast, just spent 104 minutes previewing the 2020 SEC season, and I’m confident everything we said there will still hold up just fine regardless of what happens today, so do feel free to listen whenever.
The SEC intentionally rolled out a lightweight opening weekend, ensuring most of its best teams get to stash early victories, assuming some later games get canceled. So we’d be wise to expect several blowouts. The state of Mississippi is as rubbernecky as ever, however. Also of interest are LSU breaking in an entirely new lineup, Florida apparently being the official SEC East favorite, and Tennessee attempting to reach 2-7 all-time against Will Muschamp.
Finally, we get our best late-night game of the year so far, between two teams that have beaten Las Vegas by an average of 41 points per game. They’ve only played one game each, but still.
Ok, let’s try and have a good enough weekend.
One more time, the good new podcast is:
