The 2025 UMass Minutemen are making a strong case for the title of “worst FBS team in modern history.” You might THINK that’s because the Minutemen don’t have any money, but you’d be wrong. Rodger Sherman and Alex Kirshner interview Michael Traini, publisher of UMass 247Sports site Fight Massachusetts, about how UMass got to this point. How did this team go from an FCS national champ to an FBS wanderer with no clear plan, no accountability, and waning fan support? We’ll give you the full story.

This is the latest in a Split Zone Duo subscriber series, “Why You’re Always Bad”

Richard, Alex, and Rodger Sherman talk through a huge Week 12 in college football, highlighting a few dozen games that should be fun! Among the many topics discussed on this episode:

* Texas-Georgia, the real push-comes-to-shove spot for Arch Manning

* Iowa-USC, the ultimate test of what Lincoln Riley is building in L.A.

* Oklahoma-Alabama, where we think the Sooners have a good shot

* UVA-Duke, in which a backup QB stands in the way of Duke mounting a serious playoff push and creating a doomsday scenario for the ACC

* Is Miami back in the playoff race now? Might be! Why? Don’t know!

* Florida-Ole Miss, which the Rebels have to be glad is not in Gainesville

* UCLA-Ohio State, which is really just a chance to talk about the legal battle unfolding now between UCLA and the Rose Bowl

* Tennessee Tech-Kentucky, in what some are calling the most captivating Week 12 matchup ever between an FCS team and SEC team

* Richard’s big debut as a CBS Sports sideline reporter for UConn-Air Force

* Kennesaw State-Jacksonville State, CUSA game of the year?

* Boise State-San Diego State, MWC game of the year?

* THE MAIN COURSE, presented by Modelo: Pitt hosts Notre Dame for the Panthers’ biggest home game in many years … unless you’re Pat Narduzzi, who does not seem to think the game is that important

And much more! Produced by Anthony Vito.
