Too Much Noise, Not Enough Weirdness
The show's discourse-audit frame for sorting offseason college-football conversation into over-covered noise and under-covered weirdness. It captures both sides of the June 9 Richard Johnson episode: playoff format, Congress, Arch Manning, gambling, and P2 fixation are the noise; non-P2 texture, West Coast scheduling, UCLA energy, Michigan's development question, and bowl absurdity are the weirdness worth recovering.
