Ranking the best college football quarterbacks for the 2026 season based on one question: if you had a national championship roster, who do you trust most to win it all? George puts Dante Moore at No. 1, followed by CJ Carr, Darian Mensah, Julian Sayin, and Trindad Chambliss, while also breaking down where Arch Manning, Gunner Stockton, Nico Iamaleava, Byron Brown, Noah Fifita, and others land. He explains why this is not an NFL Draft ranking, but a trust ranking built around production, decision-making, toughness, recovery, and who has shown the ability to handle real pressure.

The biggest takeaway, according to George, is that college football is now driven as much by narrative, attention, and perception as it is by wins and losses. He explains why Lane Kiffin has turned stumbling upward into a personal brand, why Texas and Steve Sarkeesian now have no choice but to win after all the hype, and why the SEC’s 16-team playoff preference makes perfect sense once you realize who actually benefits. George also digs into Ole Miss wanting conference discipline while fighting NCAA enforcement, why Matt Campbell’s Penn State comments were unnecessary, and why some fan bases would become absolutely unbearable if they won it all in 2026.

The biggest takeaway, according to George, is that Texas is no longer trying to prove it belongs. Texas already matters again. The real question now is whether Steve Sarkisian can finish the job and turn playoff relevance into a national championship. George explains why Sark rebuilt Texas from a 5-7 mess into a real SEC contender, why Quinn Ewers changed the way people talked about the Longhorns, and why the Arch Manning era now comes with no more excuses. He also breaks down why replacing Pete Kwiatkowski with Will Muschamp is a huge gamble, why the 24-team playoff would hurt the regular season more than help it, why Indiana fans are acting like new money in college football, and why fans care more about the jerseys winning than any single player’s NIL value. George also digs into Texas Tech football QB Brendan Sorsby’s legal situation, the Oregon Ducks transfer lawsuit, and the bigger truth that college football still has no real unified leadership.

The biggest takeaway, according to George, is that college football keeps chasing easier paths, more access, and more money instead of protecting what actually makes the sport great. He explains why the 24-team playoff would only move the goalposts again for coaches and conferences, why the playoff should still feel exclusive, and why the Big 12 and ACC are fooling themselves if they think expansion automatically fixes their access problem. George also sounds off on Lane Kiffin’s Vanity Fair comments and says Lane told the truth about recruiting stereotypes, but also revealed that he left Ole Miss because LSU looked like an easier path. He then breaks down why USC fans and USC itself are both on trial in “college football court,” why Drew Allar’s reset with the Steelers proves coaching and development matter more than hype, and why throwing money at problems, like John Summerall wants Florida to do, does not automatically create championships.

The biggest takeaway, according to George, is that college football keeps trying to build rules and guardrails that schools immediately fight the second those rules become inconvenient. He explains why the College Sports Commission vs Nebraska case is the biggest NIL ruling since NIL began, why schools want a cap but also want to cheat around it, and why this legal fight is only just beginning. George also digs into Steve Sarkisian comments about tampering, transfer rules, playoff expansion, and academic standards, and says Sark told the truth on some major issues even if he went too far on others. George also reacts to Brian Kelly using AI to prep for future interviews, the possible USC-Notre Dame rivalry return, the Ahmad Hardy shooting news, and Ryan Day’s son committing to Northwestern before sitting down with Oregon football defensive coordinator Chris Hampton to talk about coaching growth, defensive philosophy, Dan Lanning, Big Ten vs SEC, and why Oregon believes it can field the best defense in the country.

The biggest takeaway, according to George, is that college football keeps drifting toward what is best for money and job security instead of what is best for fans and the sport itself. He explains why coaches pushing for a 24-team playoff are being short-sighted, why that kind of expansion would water down the CFB regular season, and why home-and-home games like Georgia Bulldogs vs Florida State Seminoles are exactly what fans should be getting instead of more neutral-site nonsense. George also digs into the Brendan Sorsby case and asks the real question: if Texas Tech says it is not paying for his legal defense, then who is? He then breaks down the Crain & Cone preseason ranking debate, why Marcus Freeman pulling out of SNL after the Sherrone Moore situation was the right move, and then gives a full truth-telling breakdown of Clemson football under Dabo Swinney.

This is a full college football conversation built around whether the Clemson Tigers can get back to national championship level under Dabo Swinney, why coaches want a 24-team playoff even though fans hate it, what is really going on in the Brendan Sorsby gambling and legal situation, why Marcus Freeman made the smart move pulling out of Saturday Night Live, and why Georgia and Florida State canceling a home-and-home is bad for college football.

The biggest takeaway, according to George, is that college football is changing faster than a lot of people want to admit. He explains how AI is already being used by programs like Florida and Nebraska to sort through portal players and evaluate recruits, and why that could help staffs save time while also creating a dangerous filter that causes some prospects to get missed. He also reacts to Kirby Smart giving the Big Ten credit, argues that the SEC’s talent advantage has masked coaching issues, and breaks down why the Big Ten’s massive payouts prove football is a full-scale money-making enterprise now. George also sounds off on the Big 12’s private equity play, warns that a 24-team playoff is about money more than fans, and then closes with Brooks Austin for a huge blue-blood debate based on AP top-5 finishes, CFP appearances, conference titles, national championships, recruiting, and first-round picks over the last 25 years. Alabama, Ohio State, Georgia, Oklahoma, USC, LSU, Clemson, Texas, Florida, Michigan, Florida State, Miami, and Notre Dame all get put under the microscope, while Nebraska, Tennessee, Texas A&M, Auburn, Penn State, and Indiana become part of the larger conversation too. That is what makes this such a huge college football, AI recruiting, Big Ten vs SEC, Kirby Smart, Big 12, blue bloods, Notre Dame, USC, Alabama, Ohio State, and Brooks Austin conversation.

The biggest takeaway, according to George, is that college football keeps moving faster than the people trying to regulate it. He explains why Duke basketball getting major games onto Amazon Prime matters for the future of college football media rights after Notre Dame and USC were blocked by the Big Ten from trying something similar, why Brendan Sorsby’s gambling situation has become a disaster involving NIL, lawsuits, and NFL Draft fallout, and why ghost transfers and NCAA five-to-play-five rules could create even more chaos in the Big Ten, ACC, SEC, and Big 12 conferences. George also sits down with Oregon football head coach Dan Lanning, who talks about Oregon Ducks culture, draft development, roster retention, Dante Moore, player growth, family, mentorship, and why the Ducks keep leveling up under his leadership. Then George closes with a fun personal top 5 on the worst things he ever spent NFL money on, from an absurd Escalade and club nights to jewelry, gambling, and more. That is what makes this such a huge Oregon Ducks, Dan Lanning, Brendan Sorsby, Texas Tech, NIL, transfer portal, college football streaming, NCAA eligibility, and college football conversation.

The biggest takeaway, according to George, is that college football keeps exposing what is real and what is fake. He explains why Miami Hurricanes under Mario Cristobal has gone from a five-win mess to a national title game appearance and real 2026 expectations, why Diego Pavia’s college success was never the same thing as being an NFL Draft quarterback, and why Brendan Sorsby’s situation says a lot about the gambling culture young players now grow up around. George also reacts to the NFL Draft, argues that the Big Ten is better than the SEC football despite SEC football having more total NFL draft picks, points to Oregon Ducks draft haul as proof of elite development under Dan Lanning, and closes with a funny “Wrighster or Wrong” segment with Ralph Amsden on NFL Draft fans, Roger Goodell boos, draft-night girlfriends, and more. That is what makes this such a huge Miami Hurricanes, Mario Cristobal, Diego Pavia, Brendan Sorsby, Texas Tech, Oregon Ducks, Big Ten vs SEC, NFL Draft, and college football conversation.

The biggest takeaway, according to George, is that college football is at its best when new teams matter and old assumptions get challenged. He explains why Indiana Hoosiers beating Alabama football and then winning the national championship created one of the funniest and most real rivalries in the sport, why Bryant Haines (Indiana football) and Ty Simpson (Alabama football) accidentally helped fuel it, and why parity is exactly what college football needs. He also sounds off on Jon Gruden telling Arkansas QB Taylen Green he should switch to wide receiver, argues that TJ Moe is blaming the transfer portal for problems adults actually created through conference realignment and roster management, and questions whether Lincoln Riley and USC football can really afford anything less than 10-2 in 2026. Then George closes by using the last 10 years of Heisman trophy history to explain what kind of player usually wins the award and predicts Oregon quarterback Dante Moore will take it home over players like Arch Manning (Texas Longhorns) and CJ Carr (Notre Dame football), before drafting the best Heisman trophy seasons of the last decade with Ralph Amsden.

The biggest takeaway, according to George, is that college football keeps asking fans to ignore what is right in front of them. He explains why Colorado football can be light on paper and still look physically impressive compared to Big Ten, big 12, ACC, and SEC football teams, why Arch Manning (Texas Longhorns) should be evaluated like every other quarterback instead of being crowned early because of his last name, and why rising NIL demands are pushing the sport toward a breaking point that only a real salary cap and true business structure can fix. George also tells a great recruiting-host story from his Oregon Ducks days, reacts to Ryan Broyles talking about Michael Crabtree as a host, and then gives a full Notre Dame football breakdown. He argues that Marcus Freeman did not inherit a rebuild, that Notre Dame Fighting Irish has become nationally relevant and likable again, and that Freeman has the recruiting, culture, roster, and championship DNA to win the Fighting Irish their first national title since 1988. The show closes with Ralph Amsden joining George for a funny top 10 segment on which college football coaches should have landmarks named after them, including Nick Saban, Brian Kelly, Pete Carroll, Herm Edwards, James Franklin, Ryan Day, Kirby Smart, Dan Lanning, and Kalen DeBoer.

The biggest issue, according to George, is that college football keeps giving fans chaos from every angle. He explains why Colorado really does look small compared to top programs, why Deion Sanders’ 2026 season may come down to the first four games, why Iowa getting hit with tampering penalties over Cade McNamara shows how broken NCAA enforcement still is, and why Marcus Freeman’s Esquire feature says a lot about how different modern coaching culture looks. George also breaks down why Sherrone Moore was not set up, why he still could deserve another coaching opportunity in the future, and then brings on Tony Pauline to talk the 2026 NFL Draft, including Fernando Mendoza as a potential QB1, Reuben Bain, Kenyon Sadiq, Ty Simpson, Carnell Tate, Dylan Thieneman, and more before closing with a top 10 mock draft.

The biggest issue, according to George, is that people keep reacting to college football headlines without understanding the business behind them. He explains why Jeremiah Smith is not really a $10 million player on the open market, but why his value rises because of what it would mean to pull him away from Ohio State. He also breaks down why Oregon’s viral recruiting clip was misunderstood, why Lane Kiffin is already making excuses at LSU instead of just winning, and why Kyle Whittingham is right that collective bargaining, salary caps, and a more professional structure are the only way college football can actually stabilize. Then George closes by explaining why modern college football coaches are basically CEOs running corporations and gives his top 10 college football fan bases, with schools like Ohio State, Notre Dame, Oregon, Texas, Alabama, Florida, Nebraska, Penn State, Texas A&M, and Wisconsin all in the discussion.

George Wrighster breaks down Michigan basketball winning a national championship with five transfer starters, Donald Trump’s executive order on college sports, NIL, the transfer portal, college football collective bargaining, and Kyle Whittingham taking over Michigan football in this loaded Unafraid Show live episode. This is a full college football and college sports conversation built around Michigan Wolverines football, Bryce Underwood, Ohio State rivalry pressure, transfer portal chaos, NIL guardrails, and the future of college athletics.

The biggest issue, according to George, is that college sports leaders are still trying to save the old system without actually changing it. He uses Michigan basketball winning a title with an all-transfer lineup to show how much the transfer portal has already changed sports, then explains why Trump’s executive order on college sports may create more confusion than clarity unless college football eventually moves toward one governing body, contracts, salary caps, and collective bargaining. George also sits down with Michigan head coach Kyle Whittingham, who talks about taking over the Wolverines, Bryce Underwood being QB1, recruiting at Michigan, the pressure to win the Big Ten, beating Ohio State, and why college football is headed toward a super league model. Then the show closes with Ralph Amsden joining George to rank the top sporting events in the world, from the Olympics and World Cup to the Masters, NFL Draft, NCAA Tournament, NHL playoffs, rodeo, and more.

George breaks down Tommy Tuberville’s proposal to restrict transfers and force second-time transfers to sit out, then explains why that idea misses the real issue in college football. He argues that many players are pushed into the transfer portal by coaches, while college sports leaders keep trying to treat athletes like employees without giving them employee rights.

The show also dives into the Big Ten’s proposal to let teams go over the cap to retain players, why the NCAA’s latest scheduling idea makes no sense, and what all of this says about who really holds power in college football right now.

Then George, Roman, and Ralph dig into the “hold back” debate, including Texas redshirts, NIL expectations, recruiting hype, and whether parents are making smart long-term decisions for young athletes. They also discuss how real NIL value comes from personality, branding, and visibility, not just performance on the field.

To close the show, George ranks the best NFL draft cities to land in, including Washington, Houston, Green Bay, Dallas, New York, and Los Angeles, while warning that Miami can ruin careers for players who are not disciplined enough to handle the distractions.

George explains why Texas Tech looks like the clear Big 12 favorite, why BYU feels like the best challenger, why Arizona is being slept on, why Arizona State is one of the biggest mysteries in college football, why Baylor and TCU are facing serious pressure, and why Colorado’s year-four expectations under Deion Sanders are still a major issue. The episode also hits college football governance, Greg Sankey and SEC power, Notre Dame culture under Marcus Freeman, NIL enforcement, recruiting, transfer portal strategy, and the future of the sport.

The biggest part of the show is the full Big Ten win total breakdown with George Wrighster and Ralph Amsden going team by team through USC, Ohio State, Oregon, Michigan, Indiana, Penn State, Iowa, Washington, Wisconsin, Nebraska, Maryland, Michigan State, Northwestern, Purdue, and Rutgers. George explains why USC’s 8.5 number is a pressure warning for Lincoln Riley, why Oregon’s 10.5 says national championship, why Ohio State’s 9.5 feels shockingly low, why Indiana’s 10.5 is a trap, and why Penn State, Washington, and Wisconsin all have paths to beat expectations. The episode also hits college football recruiting, NIL, retired jerseys, mental health in CFB, Greg Sankey and SEC politics, Bruce Pearl nepotism criticism, and NCAA Tournament bracket picks.

The episode opens with George explaining why CFB spring football still matters, especially for young players, early enrollees, and programs trying to build culture. Using Curt Cignetti’s comments as a jumping-off point, he argues that spring reps are where confidence, discipline, physicality, and development really start to show. He also explains why Nick Saban’s approach to teaching football in the classroom before the field still makes a ton of sense.

Then George reacts to Queens University coach Grant Leonard being upset about larger schools scouting his players during the conference tournament. George says smaller schools need to stop thinking with a scarcity mindset and start selling development as the product. Using Nevada coach Jeff Choate’s “come here, develop, then go get paid” idea, he argues that becoming a launching pad can actually help programs recruit better and grow faster.

Later, George and Ralph dive into NFL Draft age trends, why first-round teams still chase younger prospects, and what that means for recruiting, holdbacks, and how fans evaluate five-star and high four-star prospects. It turns into a bigger conversation about upside, floor, physical development, and why age matters more than many people want to admit.

The show also tees up a debate about who really runs the state of Florida right now with Miami, Florida State, and even USF in the conversation. And to close the episode, George and Ralph go through their top 10 most unbelievable sports performances ever, sparked by Bam Adebayo’s shocking 83-point game.

The show opens with George reacting to Greg Sankey’s comments about the SEC, the NCAA, and the future of college football, plus a broader conversation about power, money, media rights, and whether the sport is headed toward a super league or collective bargaining model. George also weighs in on whether Brian Kelly deserves another shot and what it would take for Sherrone Moore to rebuild trust.

Then Brooks Austin joins the show to go through every SEC team’s biggest fear for the upcoming season. From Alabama, Georgia, LSU, Florida, Tennessee, Texas, Oklahoma, Ole Miss, Auburn, Texas A&M, South Carolina, and beyond, George and Brooks break down the one thing each SEC program does not want to admit it is worried about. This part of the episode is built for SEC fans who live for team-by-team debate, roster concerns, playoff pressure, and brutal honesty.

Later, Ralph Amsden joins George for a full college football QB tiers conversation. They sort quarterbacks into Heisman / elite, championship caliber, NFL draft darling, future face of college football, portal-bound, hype quarterbacks, and track stars. The segment includes takes on Dante Moore, CJ Carr, Nico Iamaleava, John Mateer, Devin Dampier, Lenorris Sellers, Kevin Jennings, Rocco Becht, Byron Brown, and more.

This is a loaded episode with college football power talk, SEC Football analysis, roster concerns, coaching debates, and QB rankings all in one place.

Then former NFL All-Pro and Maryland football legend Shawne Merriman joins the show for a wide-ranging conversation that ties the college game to the pro game: Big Ten realities, how money changes roster building, how scouts really view traits at the NFL Combine (including why arm length matters for edge rushers), and why being a great football player doesn’t automatically mean you can box at a high level (yes, the Jake Paul athlete-callout talk gets addressed). It’s a mix of serious football truth and the kind of real-life athlete perspective fans don’t usually hear.

To close, Ralph Amsden jumps in for the 2026 season roadmap: Oregon football’s biggest pressure points as the hunted team in the Big Ten, the Ducks’ “can’t slip” games (USC, Illinois, Michigan, Michigan State, Washington), and the non-conference matchups that will shape CFP narratives across the sport—Miami vs Notre Dame, Ohio State vs Texas, Alabama vs Florida State, Oklahoma vs Michigan, and Notre Dame vs BYU. If you want college football explained simply—with NIL, CFP, Big Ten/SEC power dynamics, NFL Combine truth, and the games that will decide the season—this episode is loaded.

Next up: NIL laws. The Mississippi House passing a bill to remove state taxes on NIL earnings becomes a huge recruiting and roster-building advantage for Ole Miss and Mississippi State in the SEC—another example of how college football is now being shaped by state policy, not just coaches and players. George also hits the real NIL truth: agents, collectives, and “market value” are setting prices, and that pressure feeds straight into transfer portal movement and locker room dynamics.

Then the show takes a turn into culture and mentorship with Johnny Manziel mentoring Vanderbilt QB Diego Pavia—why it can help a quarterback, why it can also be messy, and what it says about branding in modern college football. From there, Ralph joins for a deep NFL Combine breakdown: which programs looked most “combine-ready” (Oregon Ducks and Ohio State Buckeyes, Georgia Bulldogs stand out), which athletes boosted their NFL Draft stock, and which schools disappointed—calling out LSU and Texas Tech for not showing up the way fans expected. The episode closes with more combine talk, viral interview moments, and a blind ranking of the best pass catchers (WR/TE) heading into the NFL Draft, including Kenyon Sadiq, Eli Stowers, and more.

This college football podcast features talk about Texas A&M football, Oregon football, Ohio State football, LSU football, Texas Tech football, Ole Miss football, Mississippi State football, Tennessee football, Illinois football, Vanderbilt football, and USC football.

Then the show dives into rule changes that actually matter on Saturdays: targeting in college football. George breaks down why the current enforcement creates too many game-swinging moments and why a smarter penalty structure is needed, including how repeat offenders should be handled without pretending every hit is the same.

A full Big Ten football tour that hits every major program and what each fanbase should fear in 2026. Oregon’s margin for error, Illinois, USC football, Indiana football dealing with expectations and brutal stretches, Iowa’s offensive ceiling and quarterback reality, Maryland’s consistency, Michigan’s gauntlet schedule pressure, Michigan State’s “Groundhog Day” fear, Minnesota and Nebraska trying to climb, Ohio State football navigating a CFP path, Purdue’s direction, Rutgers’ ability to win without drawing the top monsters, UCLA’s opportunity window, USC as a swing team in the league, Washington’s road/chemistry pressure, and Wisconsin’s make-or-break year under Luke Fickell and USC Trojans with Lincoln Riley. If you follow Big Ten football, this segment is the blueprint for how the conference race and the CFP conversation will look by midseason.

The show takes a fun sports detour—Manny Pacquiao vs Floyd Mayweather rematch energy—and uses it to spark the ultimate college football “run it back” debate: the classic matchups fans would pay to see again, from Auburn–Oregon to USC–Texas to Alabama–Clemson. If you want college football explained simply—power dynamics, rules, NIL/portal reality, and a Big Ten deep dive—this episode is loaded.

Then George dives into the USC football drama after star wide receiver Ja’Kobi Lane posted a theft accusation involving a recruit visit—kicking off a debate about whether he exposed an “open secret” in recruiting culture or broke the unwritten code prospects benefit from.

Next: Donald Trump appearing on Josh Pate’s show. George explains why he has no issue with the interview, but why it also proves something crucial—if you think the President of the United States is going to “save” college football from NIL/transfer portal chaos, you’re dreaming.

After that, George and Ralph Amsden run through a Top 10 current coaches list featuring names that drive the sport right now (Kirby Smart, Curt Cignetti, Kyle Whittingham, Ryan Day, Dan Lanning, Marcus Freeman, Mario Cristobal, Dabo Swinney, and more) and what separates real program builders from hype.

Finally, they hit college football NCAA enforcement update tied to Tennessee AD Danny White and a memo from the NCAA—because “enforcement” in 2026 has real implications for recruiting, NIL, and roster building across every major conference.

From there, George breaks down why we still don’t have clear eligibility rules after decades of legal fights, including the Oregon State/Lonnie Shelton example that shows how long this tug-of-war has been going on. The guys also hit the junior college eligibility angle and why the sport keeps ending up in court instead of having clean, enforceable standards.

Then it pivots to NIL reality and why the market got distorted fast: the Jaden Rashada story, the Florida Gators side of it, how collectives operate, and why Billy Napier’s name keeps getting pulled into these conversations—especially when lawsuits and “discovery” become part of the recruiting ecosystem. After that, George goes in on schedules and résumé-manufacturing, including Texas backing out of a home-and-home with Arizona State and why schedule uniformity matters if the CFP is going to be judged fairly year to year.

The episode also touches the late-show grab bag: Georgia football legal headlines, the weird ways serious news turns into internet comedy, and yes—George closes with random life talk like Reese’s and the kind of off-the-rails side conversations only a live college football show delivers.

George starts with North Dakota State to the Mountain West Conference as a football-only member and explains why this is a “last shot” move for top FCS programs trying to avoid getting left behind when college football eventually consolidates. From there, George reacts to the idea of MrBeast funding a roster (East Carolina gets name-dropped) and why a creator with massive money + content distribution could disrupt the entire Power 4 ecosystem—because attention is currency and NIL can follow it.

Then it gets spicy: UNC pushed Drake Maye hard leading up to the Super Bowl… but Drake shouted out his high school instead of North Carolina, and George explains how the Belichick/Patriots/UNC weirdness helped create this moment. After that, George goes in on Bill Moose’s memoir and why it paints Scott Frost as the classic “hire out of fear” mistake—plus the wild detail that Moose explored Nebraska returning to the Big 12.

Finally, George breaks down Pete Nakos’ reporting on NIL recruiting demands—signing bonuses, travel stipends, jersey numbers, perks—and explains why the sport needs collective bargaining and enforceable contracts to protect players and schools. Because right now, it’s free agency with no guardrails.

First up: Dabo Swinney goes public accusing Ole Miss of blatant tampering after Clemson’s Luke Farrelly allegedly got contacted while enrolled—then Dabo says he warned Ole Miss and ultimately turned them in. George explains why this isn’t “snitching,” it’s the first real attempt at guardrails in a sport where everyone complains about rules… but almost nobody risks anything to enforce them.

Then George reacts to Deion Sanders rolling out an NFL-style fine schedule at Colorado. The question isn’t just “is it tough?”—it’s the legal gray area. If players are being fined like employees, do they deserve employee protections? George connects this directly to the NIL contract chaos that keeps landing in court.

That leads to Duke vs Darian Mensah. After Duke tried to block Mensah from leaving for Miami, the sides reached a resolution that gets him enrolled for spring ball. George explains what’s next: buyouts in NIL deals like coaches have, or collective bargaining—because the ACC, SEC, Big Ten, and Big 12 can’t keep living in lawsuit season.

George also breaks down why Indiana’s national title is BOTH amazing and dangerous: it gives hope to every fan base, but it also kills excuses and fuels unrealistic expectations (“why not us, why not now?”). Finally, George drops his way-too-early Top 25 and explains why the Big Ten looks like the real gauntlet, why the SEC can’t live on reputation, and which teams (Notre Dame, Ohio State, Georgia, Texas, Texas A&M, LSU, Washington, USC, Arizona) could shake up the next season.

Chapters:

00:00 – Show setup: Dabo vs Ole Miss, Deion fines, Duke vs Darian Mensah, Indiana title, Top 25

Dive into the latest on Darian Mensah, Deion Sanders' fines for players, and significant college football commitments. George Wrighster also shares his early top 25 rankings, dissecting the impact of these developments on the upcoming college football season. This football podcast covers all the major headlines, from Miami Hurricanes football to Indiana football, and everything in between.

Then George dives into the biggest off-field story with massive on-field consequences: Duke football vs Darian Mensah. The star quarterback’s transfer portal saga has turned into a landmark NIL/contract lawsuit that could reshape how schools, collectives, and players operate moving forward. If contracts can be enforced, are players basically employees? If they can’t, how do programs protect roster stability when millions are involved? George breaks down why this case matters for the ACC, SEC, Big Ten, Big 12, and the entire sport.

From there, George goes in on the way-too-early college football rankings and why SEC football keeps getting the benefit of the doubt despite recent College Football Playoff and bowl results. He also explains why the Big Ten is starting to look like the real “gauntlet” in modern college football—depth, coaching hires, and transfer portal efficiency across the league.

Finally, George calls out the College Football Playoff calendar as broken—national championship timing, portal windows, class registration, NFL Combine prep—and why pushing expansion to 24 teams would dilute the regular season. If you want the real, simple truth about where college football is headed after Indiana’s title and the portal chaos, this episode is for you.

George reacts to the portal numbers hitting major brands (Ohio State with 29, Oregon with 25, Iowa State with 41+), plus notable names entering like Colorado football tackle Jordan Seaton and UC Davis QB Caden Pinnick. He also explains why living in the portal isn’t automatically a cheat code—Florida State football is the example of how portal-heavy team building can backfire if it’s not paired with real development and fit.

Then the conversation turns to blame. Miami head coach Mario Cristobal said “I blame the adults,” and George asks the real question: who are “the adults”—the NCAA, conference commissioners, athletic directors, agents, coaches, fans, or TV networks? And even if we could point fingers perfectly, does blame help… or do we need an actual vision for what college football is supposed to be next?

This live show also hits the biggest storylines around the sport: Lane Kiffin flying to Knoxville as LSU football targets Sam Leavitt, the SEC football’s “benefit of the doubt” debate, Connor Stalions joking about ticket prices like the Michigan scandal never happened, and why people suddenly love to hate Fernando Mendoza and Indiana football. If you want a real talk, no-BS look at where college football is headed—this is the episode.

George also zooms out to what this Fiesta Bowl means for the entire CFP bracket and the sport’s power balance. With Oregon Ducks and Indiana Hoosiers lurking on the other side of the playoff picture, every snap matters for legacy, recruiting, and conference bragging rights. Did Miami Hurricanes football defense finally prove it can win a title game in the modern era, or did Ole Miss football show the SEC still has the deepest offensive answers when the pressure spikes? George explains what worked, what failed, and why the winner is uniquely built to challenge Oregon or Indiana for the national championship. This isn’t a highlight recap—it’s an emotional, honest postgame breakdown of a playoff classic with title implications written all over it.

College Football Playoff semifinals are here—Oregon football vs Indiana football and Ole Miss football vs Miami football—and George Wrighster breaks down the Nick Saban effect, the transfer portal chaos, and why this CFP Final Four feels different. With the national championship game next, the biggest story might not even be the matchups… it’s the people and the decisions shaping them.

George explains why Nick Saban is still impacting the College Football Playoff more than any coach in history—because the semifinal coaches connect back to his coaching tree in a way college football has never seen. Then he dives into the transfer portal and how it’s hitting teams in real time, including Oregon’s depth getting tested as players leave while the Ducks are still alive in the CFP.

This episode also gets personal: George shares his family’s real transfer portal experience with his son currently in the portal, the stress it puts on families, and why opportunity matters just as much as talent—especially for players who weren’t five-star, headline recruits. From NIL market realities to roster turnover across college football, this is the truth-teller version of what’s really happening behind the scenes.

Plus, George hits the latest Ole Miss news after Lane Kiffin’s move to LSU, why loyalty still matters in college football, why Carson Beck deserves respect, and how the CFP bracket has gone completely off the rails compared to early-season predictions.

Then it’s the new age of business: the Utah Utes’ groundbreaking private equity deal with Otro Capital, how a $500M war chest changes Utah’s Big 12 and CFP ceiling, and why this “Utah Brands & Entertainment” model might be the future of college athletics. George connects that move to the transfer portal and NIL reality—Troy Aikman publicly tapping out of NIL after writing a big check, Dante Moore and Bryce Underwood navigating coaching changes and QB rooms, and why donors are demanding real structure instead of handshake deals. If you care about the portal, NIL, realignment, Utah’s arms race, and whether the CFP should expand to 16 teams with cross-conference matchups between the SEC, Big Ten, ACC and Big 12, this live breakdown is your blueprint for where college football is headed.

George goes through the rankings line by line and asks the questions fans are screaming about: did the Ducks do enough to control their Big Ten destiny, are the Bulldogs still treated like the standard in SEC football, and did Alabama football get the benefit of the doubt once again? He dives into where Miami Hurricanes football and Notre Dame football really stand in the ACC and national conversation, whether BYU is being punished for schedule and conference, and how Ole Miss and the Oklahoma Sooners fit into the Big 12 and SEC chaos heading into championship weekend.

Throughout the live stream, George mixes instant reaction with big-picture talk: who actually deserves a playoff shot, which brands are living off reputation, and how these rankings set up maximum drama when the Big Ten, SEC, ACC and Big 12 titles kick off. Tap into the chat and sound off with your own top four, your biggest gripe with the committee, and which team you think is one upset away from crashing the College Football Playoff party.

From there, George dives into the week 14 CFB games that will define the CFP picture and wonders if the Texas Longhorns have done enough to make the CFP: the Alabama Crimson Tide vs Auburn Tigers in the Iron Bowl, Oregon Ducks vs Washington Huskies in a Big Ten heavyweight clash, Georgia Bulldogs vs Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets, Oklahoma Sooners vs LSU Tigers, Notre Dame Fighting Irish vs Stanford, and Texas Tech Football vs West Virginia Mountaineers. He breaks down which contenders like Texas football, Notre Dame football, Utah Utes, BYU, and others vie for the final spots helped their playoff résumé, which ones choked under pressure, and how the committee is going to juggle all these results on Selection Sunday and the Big Ten, Big 12, ACC, and SEC conference championship games.

Throughout the live show, George ties the on-field chaos to the off-field moves: how Lane Kiffin to LSU changes the identity of the Tigers, what Alex Golesh could bring if he lands at Auburn football, why Jon Sumrall leaving the Tulane Green Wave for the Florida Gators Football would shake up recruiting in the South, and how Ryan Silverfield jumping from the Memphis Tigers to the Razorbacks would play in the SEC West. He keeps an eye on open situations with the Bruins and Nittany Lions, asking who’s bold enough to go big-game hunting and who will panic-hire the wrong name.

This is a fully interactive live reaction — you’ll get instant thoughts on momentum swings, controversial calls, Heisman moments, and the future of the biggest brands in the Big Ten, SEC, Big 12 and ACC. Tap in, hit the chat and answer the real questions: Which Week 14 result did the most damage to the playoff race, and which coaching move is about to blow up in a school’s face?

College Football Week 11 delivered real AP Top 25 and CFB Playoff consequences, and we’re breaking it all down. George Wrighster recaps the biggest results across the SEC, Big Ten, ACC, and Big 12—from statement wins that boost playoff résumés to upsets that reset November seeding. We get into how contenders like Oregon Ducks football, Ohio State football, Alabama football, LSU football, USC football, Michigan football, Miami Hurricanes, Texas A&M football, Missouri, Washington vs Wisconsin, Penn State, Notre Dame football, and more helped or hurt their paths to the Top 12. No fluff—just who’s for real, who’s living off brand, and what the committee will actually reward. Alabama vs LSU reaction. USC football fake punt Lincoln Riley pulled vs Northwestern reaction.

We hit quarterback poise, coaching edges, travel windows, and injuries that swung games, plus what today means for conference title chases: can Georgia fend off late- season chaos in the SEC, are Oregon and Ohio State headed for a Big Ten collision course, did the ACC tilt toward Miami or Florida State, and which Big 12 squad has the cleanest runway? You’ll get blunt reactions on power ratings, why some “top defenses” don’t scale to playoff speed, and who still controls their destiny. We close with playoff tiers, a Heisman pulse check, and the three teams nobody wants to see in December.

Chapters:

04:15 – Injury/availability & weather context for Oregon–Iowa (why the line didn’t move)

12:23 – Oregon run game vs Iowa defense; Whittington, Davidson, Moore’s big keeper

15:14 – Ducks’ passing struggles and clutch receiving sequence (Johnson, Benson)

16:08 – Oregon defense standouts (Tuioti, Mixon, Boettcher; Iowa run bottled)

20:59 – Scoring flow & late-game sequence (safety, 58-yd FG, goal-line QB draw)

24:37 – Final drive mechanics & Atticus Sappington GW kick reaction

We’ll stack résumés and real on-field proof. Did USC football earn believer status against Northwestern, or is that brand tax? Can the Oregon Ducks grind out a road win vs Iowa football defense, and will Washington Huskies travel against Wisconsin’s physicality? LSU football against Alabama football is pure selection-committee leverage—QB play and explosive rate decide it. In the ACC, it’s time to separate hype from heft: FSU football vs Clemson football tells us whether the ‘Noles are title-good or just ranking-good, while Syracuse vs Miami is a volatility check on the ‘Canes. Big 12 chaos? BYU vs Texas Tech and Tulane vs Memphis both carry New Year’s Six and Top-12 implications. In the SEC, Georgia vs Mississippi State, Ole Miss vs The Citadel, and Auburn vs Vanderbilt are trap-spot audits. Texas A&M vs Missouri might be the truest toughness test all day.

We’ll finish by projecting conference winners and the CFP Top 12 field—what happens if Ohio State handles Purdue, Penn State smothers Indiana, and Miami Hurricanes close strong? Expect blunt truth on quarterback poise, coaching edges, and which defenses actually scale to playoff speed. Drop your Top 12, Heisman three, and the upset you’re calling—then bookmark the stream so you can come back with receipts.

Breaking news out of Baton Rouge, as LSU football has fired Brian Kelly. We examine if the decision to fire Brian Kelly was justified, and what the future holds for the Louisiana State University program. The SEC landscape is shifting, and all eyes are on what's next for the Tigers in college football and cfb.

Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising.

We go matchup by matchup—UCLA football identity versus Indiana football toughness; can Lane Kiffin’s Ole Miss offense outpace Oklahoma Sooners discipline; did Oregon Ducks overwhelm Wisconsin Badgers at the line; is Texas A&M football physical enough to bully LSU Tigers; did Michigan Wolverines keep control over Michigan State Spartans; is Alabama Crimson Tide truly back after facing South Carolina Gamecocks; did the Texas Longhorns avoid a trap against Mississippi State Bulldogs; and who owns momentum between BYU Cougars and Iowa State Cyclones. We’ll stack Heisman buzz, updated Top 25 tiers, and new CFP paths for contenders like Ohio State, Georgia, Notre Dame, USC, Penn State, Miami, and Oklahoma State that are lurking in the background of the Week 9 debate.

Expect blunt, timestamped reactions on star QBs, coaching edges, travel windows, injuries, and depth—plus how today’s swings affect conference races: SEC championship picture with Alabama, LSU, Ole Miss; the Big Ten track with Oregon, Ohio State, Michigan; the ACC gauntlet with Miami, Notre Dame, Clemson; and the Big 12 climb with Oklahoma, Texas, Iowa State, Kansas State.

We start with the SEC football hierarchy and why brand bias still clouds national perception. George’s Top 25 runs from tough calls at the back end (LSU Tigers, Missouri, Cincinnati/USF tier) to a top-10 that spotlights Indiana football, Ohio State football, Oregon Ducks, plus Georgia and Alabama closing fast. From there, it’s matchup time: UCLA vs Indiana (can the Bruins’ physical reset travel to Bloomington?), Wisconsin vs Oregon (can the Badgers score enough to avoid a rout in Eugene?), and Michigan vs Michigan State (what Sharrone Moore and Jonathan Smith must prove now). The show also hits pivotal games with job-market stakes—Auburn vs Arkansas, Missouri vs Vanderbilt, Northwestern vs Nebraska, and Texas at Mississippi State—and explains how coach rumors affect locker rooms and results.

George digs into Illinois vs Washington (Bret Bielema’s program-builder résumé vs a Husky team needing a signature win), the Colorado vs Utah rivalry and what Deion’s staff changes mean for bowl hopes, and Alabama vs South Carolina where quarterback play decides whether it’s close or a blowout. We close on Group-of-6 leverage (South Florida vs Memphis) and quick hitters (BYU vs Iowa State, Houston vs Arizona State).

We run through the hottest seats and dream lists—UCLA, Virginia Tech, Oklahoma State, Stanford, Arkansas, Oregon State, with watch-listers like Florida, Wisconsin, Auburn, FSU, UNC—and candidate names fans keep asking about: Curt Cignetti, Lane Kiffin, Dabo Swinney, Marcus Freeman, Alex Golesh, Brent Key, GJ Kinne, Matt Campbell, Jedd Fisch, Clark Lea, Ryan Silverfield, even wild cards like Dan Mullen or Jon Gruden. We’ll also hit game takeaways: Indiana Hoosiers’ front seven harassing Dante Moore, Ohio State Buckeyes turning Illinois mistakes into points, Texas A&M flexing at home, USC Trojans winning with physicality, Tennessee Volunteers closing late, and why Georgia, Oklahoma, Missouri, Iowa State, and Florida State left more questions than answers. Bottom line: parity is the product—upsets travel, depth swings weekly, and the only constant is chaos. Sound off live with your top-4, your “most overrated,” and which coach you’d actually hire tomorrow.

We start with Miami vs Florida State: Mario Cristobal’s Miami Hurricanes football won the explosives and turnover margin on the road, with Carson Beck distributing to Malachi Toney and CJ Daniels. In the Big Ten shocker, UCLA Bruins football stunned Penn State football a week after Oregon Ducks football exposed PSU—James Franklin’s offense still doesn’t match Drew Allar’s strengths. In the SEC, Florida Gators football found identity (DJ Lagway → Dallas Wilson, Jadan Baugh hammer) while the Texas Longhorns football protection and money downs failed Arch Manning.

Ohio State Buckeyes football looked like a No. 1 candidate—Julian Sayin surgical and a defense that hasn’t allowed more than 10 all year—while Minnesota football had no explosive answers. Alabama football remained balanced (Ty Simpson heater, Jam Miller physicality) as Vanderbilt football turnovers erased a competitive first half. Michigan football paired Bryce Underwood efficiency with trench dominance to choke out Wisconsin football. Elsewhere, LSU football still can’t unlock consistent offense against quality; Ole Miss football behind Trinidad Chambliss keeps stacking SEC wins. USC football leaned on Jayden Maiava and Makai Lemon, yet Illinois football fought to the final whistle. Indiana football showed portfolio wins vs the one-path-only approach of Iowa football. And a true road-grow-up win for Washington Huskies football closing out Maryland football.

Preseason narratives? Texas, Penn State, Clemson are a combined 8–7—proof that preseason rankings are nearly worthless in 2025’s roster-velocity world; yet they still warp CFP strength-of-schedule math. Our live show sorts who’s too high/too low in the AP, identifies real title profiles (defense + QB: Ohio State football, Oregon football, Miami football, Oklahoma Sooners football, Texas Tech football, Texas A&M football), and lays out the next-three-game gauntlets that will make or break seasons. Drop your top-4, your most overhyped team, and the one coordinator who changed your mind this weekend—receipts welcome.

We start with the Big Ten, Oregon football at Penn State football: statement road win and a White Out breaker for the Ducks—Dante Moore’s composure, while James Franklin’s 4–21 vs AP Top-10 re-lights the narrative pressure in State College. Ohio State football leaned on speed and defense to mute Washington huskies—1-for-11 on third down allowed, rushing bottled—and yet the Buckeyes’ offense still feels governed even with Jeremiah Smith flashing.

USC football at Illinois football turned into a shootout: Lincoln Riley had Jayden Maiava dealing to Makai Lemon (monster night) but Bret Bielema’s Illini refused to die—special teams, short fields, and third-and-long conversions kept it claustrophobic. Indiana hoosiers vs Iowa Hawkeyes was portfolio football.

In the SEC: LSU football at Ole Miss exposed the Tigers’ offensive issues while Trinidad Chambliss kept stacking wins for the Rebels; Alabama football at Georgia bulldogs football snapped the Dawgs’ mega home streak—Ty Simpson accounted for three TDs, Kalen DeBoer’s Tide owned third down (12-of-19), and Georgia’s defense looked un-Georgia-like tackling in space. Auburn Tigers at Texas A&M showcased Aggies’ defense and Le’Veon Moss while penalties kept it closer than it had to be. Tennessee Vols vs Mississippi State  football was cardiac ball—Heupel’s explosives returned, pass rush slammed the door in OT. Fast break: Notre Dame football detonated Arkansas (56–13) in a get-right showcase for CJ Carr and a defense that finally pinned ears back.

You’ll get straight talk on signature brands and rising threats—Georgia, Ohio State, Oregon, Alabama, Texas football, Michigan football, Notre Dame football, USC football, Miami, LSU football, Oklahoma football, Penn State, Clemson football, Florida State—plus which teams gained (or lost) juice with the committee. We hit quarterback spotlights (Arch Manning, Julian Sayin, Carson Beck, DJ Lagway, Dylan Raiola, Nico Iamaleava, Dante Moore), the impact of NIL and the transfer portal, and why schedule strength + explosive rate + red-zone TD % still separate champions from clickbait. We’ll also shout the best of the rest: Utah, Texas Tech, BYU, Iowa State, USF, UNLV, Tulane, Memphis—and whether any G5 can crash the CFP conversation.

George explains why a single transfer window helps coaches yet still crushes staffs playing deep into the CFP, and why the academic calendar (classes/majors/credits) gets wrecked when movement happens mid-January. He lays out why lawsuits keep landing body blows on the NCAA, and why a real answer requires one negotiating body for the Power 4 + G5 and a players’ association—without turning college sports into chaos. Then we get into league power: Greg Sankey (SEC), Tony Petitti (Big Ten), and conference leaders chasing unequal revenue sharing that tilts the playing field before kickoff.

Next up: the SCORE Act and a proposed United States College Athletics Corporation (USAC). George weighs the upside (uniform rules, protecting Olympic sports, and consolidating media rights) against the scary stuff (federal influence, executive-order whiplash, and lobbyists picking winners). He draws the line on government overreach, then pivots to what fans actually care about—results and rankings. The updated Top 25 rewards quality wins, schedule played, and dominance: Miami’s résumé with Notre Dame and USF, Ohio State’s heavyweight moments, Oklahoma’s defense under Brent Venables, Oregon’s across-the-board control, Georgia’s talent with questions, FSU’s ceiling, LSU’s offense, Utah’s grown-man football, and why Notre Dame still profiles like a top-12 team even at 0–2. Finally, George reveals a brand-new CFP bracket (Miami, Ohio State, Oklahoma, Oregon at the top) and the matchups every fan would pay to see. Subscribe, drop your bracket, and bring receipts—this is where Saturdays get sorted.

We’ll sort real title contenders by conference:

Big Ten: Ohio State football, Oregon Ducks (plus Penn State, Illinois, Michigan, USC)

SEC: Georgia bulldogs, Alabama football , Texas A&M football (watch Oklahoma, LSU; schedules matter)

Big 12: Utah utes, Texas Tech football, Iowa State, BYU

ACC: Miami (plus Clemson)

G5: USF football, UNLV, Tulane, Memphis Tigers

Notre Dame football can run the table and they’re dangerous.

Hot seats & rules to firing a coach (and why the portal opening complicates timing). QB questions: DJ Lagway and Arch Manning—is the bad play fixable or bench-worthy? Shoutout Cal true freshman Jaron-Keawe Sagapolutele (71/106, 780 yds, 6 TD, 1 INT)—he’s legit. Wild note: Notre Dame becomes the first team to start 0–2 and stay ranked in 37 years.

Game reactions: Georgia 44–41 TENN (OT); Clemson 24–21 Georgia Tech (OT); Texas A&M vs Notre Dame (-6.5); Texas 27–10 UTEP (Arch 11/25, 114, 1/1); Florida vs LSU (BK testy on 3rd downs; Lagway 33/49, 287/1/5, 5.9 YPA); Arkansas 35–41 Ole Miss; Vandy at South Carolina (-5.5)—belief is real; Oregon 34–14 Northwestern (9 a.m. body clock, 77/81 players used, Dante Moore 16/20, 178, TD/INT); Penn State 52–6 Villanova (back-door TD); Wisconsin 38–14 Alabama; USF 12–49 Miami (WRs/backs everywhere, Beck 23/28, 340, 3/2; USF 27-40 rush); Kansas State 23–17 Arizona; USC 33–17 Purdue. Fast break: Oregon State 45–14 Texas Tech; Oklahoma 42–3 Temple; Illinois 38–0 WMU; Utah 31–6 Wyoming; Ohio State 37–9 Ohio. Plus UCLA/VT trouble (Brent Pry 16–24 yr 4; DeShaun Foster rough start), two rules for firing coaches, and why Vandy’s Pavia + Clark Lea prove culture can flip outcomes.

We unpack statement wins and red flags: Oregon 69–3 over Oklahoma State (Moore sharp, defense ruthless), Army 24–21 at Kansas State, Mississippi State 24–20 over Arizona State (program win for Jeff Lebby; Blake Shapen steady), Ohio 17–10 West Virginia, Missouri 42–31 Kansas. Then the algorithm smoke: ESPN FPI after Week 2 vaults Alabama to #4 after ULM while FSU sits #26, Miami falls to #21, 0–1 Notre Dame at #10, USF ranked 15 spots behind Florida, Arkansas up 10 spots for AAMU/Ark St, Oregon to #1 after blasting a bad OkSt, Iowa State down seven—we’ll show why the FPI formula is broken even as SOS and efficiency love the SEC.

Deep dive: Michigan vs Oklahoma (24–13) — OU led 14–0 at half, went 7/13 on third down to Michigan’s 3/13, and never ceded control. John Mateer (270 pass, 74 rush, 3 TD) answered every Wolverine push; Deion Burks (7–101–TD) stressed the corners. Bryce Underwood (9/24, 142) flashed arm talent but never found rhythm vs pressure. Justice Haynes (125 rush, 75-yd TD) provided the lone spark while OU’s front won the non-explosive downs. Hidden pivot: a missed 32-yd Michigan FG in a low-possession game. OU closed with a clock-kill drive—blueprint stuff.

Around the country: South Florida 18–16 Florida (walk-off Nico Gramatica FG; Gators 11 penalties, bad punt snap safety; DJ Lagway banged up), Iowa 16–13 Iowa State (rock fight; Hawkeye offense still stuck in 1998), Ole Miss 30–23 Kentucky (Austin Simmons survives two INTs; Kewan Lacy hammers), Arizona State 20–24 Mississippi State (ASU rallies late but stalls at the 1), Illinois 45–19 Duke (Luke Altmyer dicing; Duke turnovers doom), Baylor 38–38 SMU to OT (Sawyer Robertson spectacular, defense leaks), LSU 23–7 LaTech (defense carries; Nussmeier steady), Alabama 73–0 ULM, Ohio State 77–0 Grambling, Georgia 28–6 Austin Peay. We’ll also hit Bryce Underwood vs the Arch Manning anointing, why Brent Venables calling OU’s defense + a real QB = SEC problem, and which teams are real vs noise heading into Week 3. Tap in live—no fluff, just truth.

1) SEC to 9 games + CFP math: Ross Dellenger reports momentum to move the SEC from 8 to 9 league games—final step is presidential approval. We break down how a 9-game slate and the revived 5+11 / 4-4-2-2-1 playoff conversation interact with SOS to all but guarantee multiple SEC bids. Then we unpack why SOS isn’t one number: Sagarin (bowl-eligibility difficulty), FPI (expected losses), FEI (difficulty for elite/good/average). If the CFP won’t disclose which metric it leans on, committees risk misusing data.

2) Overrated/Underrated (2025):

Overrated: Tennessee, South Carolina, Texas, Indiana, BYU—due to OL turnover, QB questions, front-loaded slates, portal attrition, and inflated preseason narratives.

Underrated: Utah, Washington, Auburn, Oklahoma, Pittsburgh—athletic QBs (Devon Dampier), home-field swings (UW), blue-chip depth (AU), a rising defense (OU), and Pitt’s QB/RB/LB core make them buy-low stock.

3) New starting QBs named: CJ Carr (Notre Dame), Steve Angeli (Syracuse), Bear Bachmeier (BYU’s first true-frosh opener), Jaron-Keawe Sagapolutele (Cal over Devin Brown), and former 5-star Malachi Nelson at UTEP. What it means for Week 1 and beyond.

4) Michigan vs NCAA: On Warde Manuel’s watch—Harbaugh suspensions, show-cause penalties, the Connor Stalions saga, and more. Why blasting the NCAA plays with your base but won’t erase national skepticism.

5) Pat Fitzgerald/Northwestern: Settlement reached. No evidence he directed hazing—but why “you must know” remains the standard for head coaches paid millions to lead. Leadership, compliance, culture.

Drop your takes in chat: Which SOS model should the CFP show its work with? Which teams did we nail/miss in over/under lists? And which new QB makes the biggest splash in Week 1?

We also react to Archie Wilson’s homesickness as dads and former players (real life vs message-board tough guys), unpack Kansas donor David Booth’s $300M gift and what it signals in the NIL/donor-driven era, and explain why one whale donor can change a program’s trajectory—if you build broad support. Then it’s Freeze/Kiffin: creative play-call committee at Auburn, Kiffin’s trolling from Ole Miss, and whether it’s all jokes… or a recruiting sting after Mississippi 4-star Jase Matthews picked the Tigers.

Finally, my Week 1 checklist (10-1): Ireland spotlight for Iowa State/Kansas State QBs (Avery Johnson, Rocco Becht), can Boise State still mash on the ground without Jeanty vs USF, the Dylan Raiola pressure test vs Cincinnati and Brendan Sorsby, Colorado’s identity under Deion Sanders, transfer saviors Nico Iamaleava (UCLA) & Devon Dampier (Utah), can Syracuse hold up vs Tennessee, Hot-Seat Roulette with Baylor–Auburn, Castellanos’ talk vs Alabama, Brian Kelly and LSU’s slow-start problem at Clemson, and the oxygen-eating Arch storylines while Ohio State and Jeremiah Smith try to steal the show. Be one of us—smart, honest CFB talk you won’t get anywhere else.

We kick off with the who/what/when/where/why of my new gig (shoutout Mike Yam) and a reminder that Ryan Leaf was elite in CFB—NFL outcomes shouldn’t erase college greatness.

Streaming power shift: Starting Oct 2, ESPN’s new DTC app + FOX One bundle at $39.99/mo could let fans drop cable and still access the vast majority of live sports. If it sticks, ESPN/FOX gain leverage—and college football remains the anchor of U.S. sports streaming.

Venmo & compliance: Mateer says he doesn’t gamble; Oklahoma is aware. Public memos are dumb, proof is tricky—likely much ado about nothing.

OSU & Grantham: Cam Jordan blasted his NFL DL stint, but college DC ≠ NFL position coach. For Oklahoma State, scheme fit and results will decide 2025.

QB ages in 2025: Older QBs are normal now (think Bo Nix/Cam Rising). Bourque being nearly 18 with two HS seasons left isn’t unusual—maturity and reps beat birth dates.

AP Poll snapshot: Texas barely at No. 1; Penn State surged; Georgia/Alabama split voters; Oregon/Notre Dame steady; LSU/Miami polarizing; fringe volatility for ASU, Illinois, K-State, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Boise.

Then, instant reactions to Any Given Saturday Ep. 1: LSU’s Weeks brothers are must-see TV, Brian Kelly’s star turn, and Shane Beamer’s roller-coaster at South Carolina (plus the LaNorris Sellers “what if” after his ankle). Would both seasons have flipped if Sellers stayed healthy? Next, we debate a potential College Football Red Zone after Roger Goodell said ESPN owns the RedZone IP — who benefits: SEC, Big Ten, or Big 12 — and does the NFL actually want to share the spotlight on Saturdays? Finally, we clear up Tennessee’s social media “non-scandal,” why schools are sensitive about QB optics, and how the attention economy + portal/NIL amplify every clip.

Next: Josh Pate’s seismic jump from 247/CBS to On3—what it signals for the power shifts in the college football media landscape and why brands and insiders are watching this evolution.

Then we move into the first real step toward stabilizing college football: unionization discussions. We unpack the August 3 meeting with 23 Power 4 GMs in support of collective bargaining, NIL caps, agent certification, and on-field pay protections. Is college football about to get organized?

Finally, we compare the brand-new Coaches Top 25 poll to my preseason rankings — there’s overlap in the top 12 but also notable disagreements. We dive into teams like Boise State, BYU, Clemson, and Oklahoma to explain why coaches and I see things differently.

In this episode of the Unafraid Show, George Wrighster reveals the top 10 undrafted players from the 2025 NFL Draft, spotlighting under-the-radar talent who could make a major impact despite not hearing their name called on draft weekend. From record-setting wide receivers to elite defenders and dominant offensive linemen, these UDFAs are ready to prove doubters wrong.

👀 Featured UDFAs in this episode include:

Andrew Armstrong (Dolphins WR) – Led the SEC in receptions and yards. NFL scouts doubted his speed, but his 6'4" frame and sure hands say otherwise.

Nick Nash (Falcons WR) – Converted QB who led FBS in catches and yards. Underrated due to competition level, but the tape doesn’t lie.

Cobee Bryant (Falcons DB) – A 3-time First-Team All-Big 12 selection with a knack for turnovers. NFL teams may regret passing on this shutdown corner.

Seth McLaughlin (Bengals OL) – Rimington Trophy winner with elite college experience. Injury hurt his stock, but his talent is undeniable.

Howard Cross III (Bengals DT) – Undersized but disruptive. Familiarity with DC Al Golden gives him a leg up in Cincinnati.

Elijhah Badger (Chiefs WR) – Speed, production, and big-play ability. The Chiefs might have struck gold again.

Luke Grimm (Chargers WR) – Slippery route-runner with a nose for big plays. Could be a surprise fit in Jim Harbaugh’s system.

Ben Yurosek (Vikings TE) – Injuries dropped his stock, but if healthy, he’s a versatile weapon with great hands.

Xavier Restrepo (Titans WR) – Miami's all-time leading receiver and first-down machine. Chemistry with Cam Ward could revive his reputation.

🧠 Discussion Topics:

Why these players went undrafted despite elite production

NFL team fits and depth chart opportunities

Pro comps and predictions for their rookie seasons

Are NFL scouts overthinking small-school or injury-prone talent?

He explains why he’s never worried about the outside noise, how his first staff meeting at Clemson laid the groundwork for a championship culture, and why “equipping men” off the field is even more important than developing talent on it. He also talks about seeing his hero Deion Sanders.

Dabo speaks candidly about the impact of faith, how personal struggles became assets, and the mindset that’s helped him maintain both a thriving football program and a 30+ year marriage.

He also dives into the changing landscape of college football—from NIL and the transfer portal to Deion Sanders' influence and the need for a more streamlined NCAA calendar.

In our first segment, George Wrighster talks about what he expects to be an insane spring 2024 transfer portal season starting on April 15th- and while George knows the fans are sick of the portal, he believes that a course correction is coming soon that will stabilize collegiate rosters. What are some of those course corrections? Tune in to find out.

Next up, Colorado QB Shedeur Sanders ignited a debate when he said that he's had to overcome a lot by being a small private school QB in Texas instead of a bigtime 6A conference baller. Most people wouldn't consider a private school education and being the son of Deion Sanders to be adversity, but George Wrighster provides context to explain why Shedeur Sanders is actually correct!

In our interview segment, George Wrighster talks to Jaden Rashada about his eventful path from high school to Arizona State by way of University of Florida, and what it's like to be part of a QB competing for reps in the transfer portal era. Jaden Rashada also gives George Wrighster a tour of Arizona State's facilities, and Mountain America Stadium

And finally, who are the 12 teams that George Wrighster believes will be in this year's college football playoff? Which group of 5 team will be represented, and who does George believe will be the first team out? Plus, Who are George's first four that will receive a bye? All that and more on the Unafraid Show!

In the first segment, George Wrighster laments the College Football Playoff expansion to 14 teams without even making it through the inaugural 12 team playoff first. Why do the Big Ten and SEC need more guaranteed playoff spots and more money than the Big 12 and the ACC? And why did the Group of 5 schools agree to go along with this?

Next up, George Wrighster sits down with Marcus Arroyo at Arizona State University, where Arroyo has assumed offensive coordinator duties after his stint as head coach out at UNLV, and his time mentoring Justin Herbert in Oregon. Robert Griffin III RG3 might have had good intentions when he told Caleb Williams to refuse to play in Chicago, but George Wrighster gets into just how bad of an idea it would be for Williams to try and play anywhere other than the team that has bent over backwards to build him a top 10 offense.

And finally, George gets into why he thinks the last three quarterback draft classes had so many "busts." Hint- it's not the players that are to blame.

George also gives his take on the next five years of SEC conference Football play in the post-Nick Saban era, scolds Arch Manning for refusing to be part of the new NCAA video game franchise, and gives his take on the Lakers LeBron James’ reaching the NBA 40,000 point plateau!

In the opening segment, George Wrighster takes on the SEC conference where “it just means more.” The SEC conference has added Texas Longhorns and Oklahoma Sooners. Plus Nick Saban has retired form Alabama. So with all the changes, who does George believe will be the top Dawg (hint hint) in the conference over the next five years?
