Week 9 of the college football season is here and so is a new episode of The Football Letter Podcast!
This week, we first talked with Matt Fortuna, Founder of The Inside Zone, college football’s newest online community. Matt has previously covered college football for ESPN and The Athletic.

- His time working for The Daily Collegian.

- Big Ten realignment.
- The changing landscape of college football.
- The best games he's covered.
