It's the end of college football season and with that we say goodbye to the gridiron until next fall. Or course the Orange Zone is more than happy to finally say hello to the hardwood and turn our full attention on the rest of Syracuse basketball season.

On this week's episode of the Orange Zone Podcast we play catch up on a basketball season that, when you really look at it, is already halfway over and examine how both the men and women have fared in the early parts of their conference schedules (01:45-16:35). Where do the Orange excel, where do they still need some work and do early signs show any indication that either of these teams could make a push for the postseason come springtime? We look at both teams through the lens of those questions and forecast where this season can go.

Elsewhere some former Orange football players are making headlines, with one setting a record for an NFL franchise (16:35-17:30) and another earning a spot of note among the greats of his sport (17:30-18:08). Add in Producer Brendon's trivia (18:09-23:57) and a recap of our football picks competition (23:57-26:44) and you have the latest episode of "The Orange Zone Podcast".
