    On the latest episode of False Start, John Buhler (Lead Writer, FanSided.com) and Cody Williams (Content Director, FanSided.com) unpacked how they feel about the Big Ten after media days before getting ready to get ready for the season ahead.

    Together, they figured who the Big Ten media is too hot and too cold on, as well as what blue-chip ratio contenders really matter across the Power Four.

    They then talked about the reasoning by Nico Iamaleava's controversial decision to leave Tennessee for UCLA, as well as what comes next for Memphis after its Big 12 rejection.

    The guys then finished the show by paying tribute to Ozzy Osbourne before Something Just Like Novocaine with some Coldplay, just like the Astronomers we all know they are in this American Pie-themed episode.

    2025/07/21

    Reach out to Cody and Buhler to tell them what's up!

    It is hot as ever outside, so we need to cool off a bit.

    On the latest episode of False Start, John Buhler (Lead Writer, FanSided.com) and Cody Williams (Content Director, FanSided.com) touched on how the SEC media views each of its teams stacked up amongst each other.

    Who is the SEC media too hot, too cold and just right on with the help of some Goldilocks?

    Also, Eliah Drinkwitz seems to have Big Ten Energy coursing through his fans.

    Too bad he coaches in the SEC...

    Plus, is Mark Gronowski going to be the catalyst for positive change under center for the Iowa Hawkeyes?

    Be the best Brad Banks version of yourself, and this is False Start!

    Come Monday, it'll be alright.

    After that, the guys did some Local Scouting Report with Buhler coming back from Key West before diving headfirst into some Jimmy Buffett for Just Like Novocaine.

  • Episode 191: Scott Frost Blames Nebraska, Oklahoma at Crossroads, SEC Job Security, First-Time CFP Contenders
    2025/07/10

    Reach out to Cody and Buhler to tell them what's up!

    New/old UCF head coach Scott Frost made sure to take no blame and put it all on Nebraska for failing miserably at his alma mater, so John Buhler and Cody Williams had to rake him over the coals. We then look at longtime Oklahoma AD Joe Castiglione is stepping down, which raises some uncertainty for Brent Venables and the Sooners. We then look at South Carolina, Florida, Illinois and more potential first-time College Football Playoff teams, as well as assessing the job security of every SEC head coach. We finish with a deep look at Colorado and LSU's seasons and whether they'll hit over or under their win total, all before finishing by comparing No Doubt songs to CFB personalities.

  • Episode 188: Big 12 bad gets best of preseason polls, Favorite freshmen QBs, Celebrating Sad Boy Summer with some help from The National
    2025/06/30

    Reach out to Cody and Buhler to tell them what's up!

    The Big 12 doesn't mind seeing itself in a picture, so long as it looks far away.

    On today's episode of False Start, John Buhler (Lead Writer, FanSided.com) and Cody Williams (Content Director, FanSided.com) asked themselves why the Big 12 is not doing a preseason poll.

    The Arizona State of it all might explain that, but nothing soothes the heart of Sad Boy Summer quite like a healthy dose of The National.

    The guys celebrated the Fourth of July a little bit early with some JLN before Buhler goes on some much-needed PTO.

    You are not half-awake in a Fake Empire when you listen to some False Start.

    2025/06/26

    Reach out to Cody and Buhler to tell them what's up!

    Don't fall into the trap.

    While LaNorris Sellers is too good for that, Thomas Castellanos took the bait when it came the low-hanging Alabama fruit.

    Throwing dirt on Alabama's grave is not always the best of ideas...

    On today's episode of False Start, John Buhler (Lead Writer, FanSided.com) and Cody Williams (Content Director, FanSided.com) looked at Sellers and Castellanos' comments when it came to Alabama.

    They also made sense of another Steve Spurrier gem of a quote, only this time it was about fading Arch Manning.

    After that, the guys looked at what CFP contenders will benefit from their "soft" schedules, as well as when each national title hopeful could fall victim to the proverbial trap game.

    Even if you dig yourself into a hole, False Start will always be there to provide the good vibes to help get you out!
