The 2023 college football season is coming faster than you think. Lindy’s, Athlon and Phil Steele are all great to get your tangible news from. The better way to learn about the upcoming season is to throw a podcast on and listen. There are a few out there that really deliver everything that you need. They have the perfect mix of news stats and entertainment. Here is On The Card Sports’ unbiased list of the top 5 college football podcasts.
#1 The Late Kick with Josh Pate
Josh and the 247 sports crew does a great job delivering college football to the masses. The real reason he is the King of college football podcasting is, he doesn’t leave anyone out. With 130 teams in FBS football, it is very hard to have a nugget about each team. I am not saying he spends 30 mins talking about UMass football. If you ask him in the dms, he will have something to give you. The other great thing Late Kick does is go to the games. Each week during the season, Pate will be at a high profile game and he keeps it on a rotation. Don’t be a casual. Check him out.
#2 Unnecessary Roughness
Barstool’s college football podcast comes in here at number 2 because of the entertainment. Brandon Walker is an electric factory when you get him going on a college football topic. The man’s takes are usually right-on, and he won’t pull any punches on them. The unbiased opinions and honesty go a long way with me. Now his co host Kayce Smith is the best set-up guy in the game. She knows when and where to poke at Brandon like only she can. Kayce knows ball and more importantly knows how to steer a show. I can’t leave out the two best producers in the game with JackMac and Katie Stats. These four just work; like the ridiculous college football fantastic four.
#3 Cover 3 Podcast
Love this college football podcast!! Gambling, gambling, gambling. The four guys, Chip, Danny, Tom and Bud are college football experts that mesh well together. This is definitely the podcast for the gamblers of college football. Every week on Friday they come out with their picks. As long as you don’t listen to Danny, always follow Bud, ride with Chip on ridiculous odds bets and listen to Tom anything Big Ten you’ll be doing great. The guys will bust balls and talk football and gambling. What is not to love.
#4 The Spiked College Football Show
This is a totally unbiased selection at number 4 with On The Card Sports’ very own college football podcast. The guys at Spiked College Football show do it a little different than the majority. Tyler, Johnny, JC and Rob come at college football like guys at a bar discussing ball. We are just passionate fans discussing the best sport in the world. JC, the good looking one, that provides us good solid takes and our female audience. Rob being the analytical nerd. Tyler always providing the best producing of the show, along with one liners. Johnny, yes me, being the absolute star. Not only with his amazing picks, but the absolutely brilliant hot takes that seem to always be right.
#5 That SEC Football Podcast
This podcast is the mecca for all SEC college football fans. The only reason it is at number 5 is because it is only the SEC. I love SECMike and CousinShane for all their homer love. The SEC deserves homer love because it is the preeminent league in college football. I don’t think I have heard these two bad mouth a single team in the league. While I will do it, Brandon Walker will, lord knows Danny Kannell will too. If an SEC school is terrible, we will say it and say it with our chest. These boys won’t do it, they know their audience. I respect the hell out of that. And to be honest, no one in media knows more about the SEC than these boys. Plus, they just have the voices for podcasting. Let’s be honest, Mike is silky smooth and Cousin Shane’s opening to every pod is exceptional.
