National Signing Day is Wednesday, and Kings of the North breaks down the recruiting battles between the North and the South like no one else does. Of course the South has a numbers edge, but how big is it? Is the North gaining or falling back? And how much does recruiting matter for winning? Then Doug Lesmerises and Bill Landis are joined by Dan Wetzel to discuss what rivalry weekend in the first year of the 12-team playoff told us about the state of college football. Also, are the conference championship games this week giving us what we want? Finally, it's a check on the KOTN preseason Big Ten poll and what the voters got right and wrong when it came to title game picks and players of the year. Thanks for joining Kings of the North.
