Big Ten Coach Rankings, Notre Dame Warning CFB, Oregon To Tokyo & More
2026/07/14
George releases the full Big Ten football coach rankings. Next, Notre Dame football is becoming one of the scariest roster-building operations in college football under Marcus Freeman, why Texas Tech football's upcoming Paramount+ docuseries better tell the full Brendan Sorsby story, and why the Oregon Ducks Tokyo push proves Oregon football may be the most professional operation in the sport. George explains how Marcus Freeman is recruiting at a level Brian Kelly never reached at Notre Dame, why Texas Tech cannot pretend the Sorsby drama was just a side plot, and why Oregon’s Dante Moore billboard, Japan showcase, and international branding play show a business-minded approach that other schools will eventually try to copy. Then George responds to fan backlash over his Top 10 college football quarterback rankings.
Mike Locksley (Maryland) to Curt Cignetti (Indiana football), with Ryan Day (Ohio State football), Dan Lanning (Oregon Ducks), Lincoln Riley (USC football), Kirk Ferentz (Iowa Hawkeyes), Kyle Whittingham (Michigan football), and others all landing in a loaded conference hierarchy.

Alabama Football in Trouble, Jeremiah Smith Rated 99, $4.5B NIL Deals & MORE
2026/06/30
Alabama football is heading in the wrong direction. Can Kalen DeBoer stop the Crimson Tide from becoming just another really good program instead of the sport’s inevitable final boss. He also reacts to the NCAA’s new five-for-five eligibility model getting sued almost immediately, why the rollout is the real issue, how the rule could push more pressure down into high school sports and parenting decisions, why the NIL market is already headed past $4.5 billion, and why the revenue-sharing cap is starting to feel fake if third-party money keeps flowing. George also breaks down EA Sports College Football 27 ratings, Ohio State's Jeremiah Smith becoming the first 99 overall player of the new era, Oregon Ducks having the most loaded roster in the game, and why the Big 12 might have more high-end talent than people want to admit. He also talks about Nike bringing back The Opening with real NIL money on the line, the Citadel finding human remains under its stadium, and why 1991 Washington deserves more respect in any conversation about the best college football teams of the 1990s.
George explains why the real problem for Alabama football is not that DeBoer cannot coach, because he can, but that the Alabama Crimson Tide are no longer recruiting, retaining, and scaring people the way it did under Nick Saban.

Brendan Sorsby Is Out Of Options, Oregon Ducks Japan Takeover & MORE
2026/06/25
Texas Tech QB Brendan Sorsby is left with nowhere to play with the NFL supplemental draft not happening, George explains why Oregon Ducks taking Dante Moore and the Oregon football brand to Tokyo, Japan is a massive NIL and business lesson for the rest of college football, and says college football analyst David Pollack is right that too many families are letting youth sports steal summers that should still belong to childhood. He also breaks down why the NCAA reportedly canceling waiver requests instead of deciding them could send even more athletes back to court.
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.

Notre Dame Has To Answer to College Football Fans, Brendan Sorsby Too
2026/06/21
Notre Dame football has to answer all the fan criticism, Brendan Sorsby’s agent saying Cincinnati football knew about his gambling issue for two years before Texas Tech, why quarterbacks need to stop chasing the biggest offer and start chasing the best path, why college football programs should be allowed to pay for unofficial visits, why Jim Nagy’s new Oklahoma Sooners GM contract proves there is real money in roster building, and why Roman Rashada’s athlete-claims business is the kind of hustle that pops up when college sports creates a new economy without enough guardrails. George also explains why the NFL, NFLPA, MLB, and NBPA need to stay out of college sports legislation if they are not actually representing current college athletes. Then Notre Dame football reports to College Football Court, where Bryan Driskell of @irishbreakdown defends the Fighting Irish against charges involving conference independence, NBC exposure, ACC drama, transfer changes, wide receiver development, USC rivalry chaos, skipping the Pop-Tarts Bowl, Marcus Freeman, and whether Notre Dame gets special playoff treatment.

2026/06/20
George Wrighster breaks down Indiana football under Kurt Cignetti, Nick Saban’s comments on the Save College Sports bill, why Notre Dame is right that the salary cap is too low, why NC State vs Virginia in Brazil got canceled, and how Indiana went from the most losing program in college football to national champion. George explains why the current college sports model is broken, why collective bargaining is the real answer, and why Indiana fans are acting like new money after Kurt Cignetti changed the entire trajectory of the Hoosiers. He also breaks down Josh Hoover, Nick Marsh, Toby Osunsanmi, and the 2026 Indiana roster, plus whether the Hoosiers can actually do it again now that the whole sport sees them coming.

College Football's Biggest Problem Isn't What You Think, Brendan Sorsby Update & MORE
2026/06/12
Explaining how to fix the college football playoff committee ranking and give a perfect CFP committee for 2027, why Texas Tech football keeps making the Brendan Sorsby situation worse, why Big 12 leadership is seriously discussing what to do next to keep Sorsby from playing, why the Delaware Blue Hens probably did not make $12 million in EA College Football royalties, and why fan bases are losing their minds over the latest 247Sports five-star rankings. George also sits down with former College Football Playoff committee member Paola Boivin to get an inside look at how the committee really works, what people get wrong about the process, and why he still believes the sport needs a more professional committee structure built around people whose full-time job is evaluating college football.

Truth About Lane Kiffin , Texas Longhorns Massive Pressure, SEC Meetings Intel, And CFP Expansion
2026/06/04
How Lane Kiffin became the most quotable and talked-about coach in college football (CFB), why Steve Sarkisian has the whole Big 12 fighting his Texas Longhorns, how 24 team playoff expansion (CFP) propaganda is getting out of control, and why Ole Miss football wants Lane Kiffin and Steve Sark punished by the SEC. He also explains why Texas football is now under massive pressure, why Penn State head coach Matt Campbell needs to stop talking about Iowa State, and ranks the 10 most insufferable fan bases if they won a national championship in 2026.
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.

Texas Longhorns CFP Chances, Indiana Football Reality Check, 24-Team Playoff, Brendan Sorsby & More
2026/05/21
George Wrighster tells the truth about Texas Longhorns football under Steve Sarkisian. He breaks down whether Texas Football is a real CFP national championship contender, whether Steve Sarkisian is a championship-level coach, why the 24-team College Football Playoff (CFP) keeps gaining momentum, why Indiana fans need a reality check, what Brendan Sorsby’s judge means for Texas Tech, and why college football fans still root for the laundry more than the names in this loaded George Wrighster’s College Football Podcast episode. George also explains why Oregon football had a better offseason than Indiana Football, why the Big Ten coaches unanimously backing a 24-team CFP is bad for the sport, and why the Texas Longhorns are now in the uncomfortable spot where respect is no longer enough and only trophies will do.
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.

Lane Kiffin Goes WOKE, USC Football on Trial, Florida Gators NIL Mistake & MORE
2026/05/19
George Wrighster breaks down USC Trojans football, the 24-team College Football Playoff, Lane Kiffin, Vanderbilt football, Jared Curtis, John Summerall, Drew Allar, Notre Dame football, and the future of college football in this loaded George Wrighster’s College Football Podcast episode. George explains why USC Trojans is going to college football court, why the ACC and Big 12 backing a 24-team playoff is so short-sighted, why Lane Kiffin’s comments about Ole Miss and Mississippi revealed more than people think, how Jared Curtis and Vanderbilt just showed what modern NIL really looks like, and why Jon Sumrall believing more money solves everything is missing the bigger issue.
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.

Interview: Oregon DC Chris Hampton, Nebraska NIL Ruling, Steve Sarkisian, Brian Kelly, USC-Notre Dame
2026/05/14
George Wrighster interviews Oregon Ducks defensive coordinator and George breaks down the biggest NIL ruling in college football involving the College Sports Commission and Nebraska football, Texas Longhorns head coach Steve Sarkisian sounding off on college football, Brian Kelly using AI to prepare for his next coaching job, USC and Notre Dame trying to restart their rivalry, the Ahmad Hardy shooting update, Ryan Day’s son committing to Northwestern in this College Football Podcast episode. George explains why the Nebraska football ruling could affect every major program in college football, why USC Trojans does not deserve praise for trying to fix a rivalry problem it created, why Brian Kelly’s AI comments feel weird, and why Steve Sarkisian was right about some things and wrong about others.
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 Truth About Clemson, 24-Team CFP Backlash, Marcus Freeman on SNL & More
2026/05/09
George Wrighster answers the questions about the future of Clemson football under Dabo Swinney. He breaks the CFB News incliding the 24-team College Football Playoff proposal and why CFB coaches support it, new Brendan Sorsby gambling situation update, Why Notre Dame football coach Marcus Freeman pulled out of SNL (Saturday Night Live), why the Georgia Bulldogs and Florida State Seminoles are canceling their 2027 and 2028 games, and the future of college football in this loaded George Wrighster’s College Football Podcast episode. George also addresses a situation on X with @CrainAndCone about the CFB Top 25. And finally, he is joined by former college football QB turned comedian Daniel Bridge-Gadd for a hilarious top 10 on which college football coaches, past and present, would win in real fights.
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.

GUEST: Brooks Austin, AI Recruiting, 24-Team Playoff, NEW CFB Blue Bloods, Big Ten, SEC, ACC Payouts & More
2026/05/06
George Wrighster breaks down college football recruiting, AI in football, Big Ten football, SEC football, Big 12 expansion money, Kirby Smart, college football blue bloods, and the future of the College Football Playoff in this loaded George Wrighster’s College Football Podcast episode on the Unafraid Show. This is a full college football conversation built around how AI is changing recruiting and player evaluation, why the Big Ten is outpacing the SEC financially, why the Big 12’s private equity move is risky, why a 24-team playoff could hurt the sport, and which programs still deserve to be called blue bloods over the last 25 years.
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.

Dan Lanning Interview, CFB News, Duke + Amazon Prime, NCAA Eligibility rules
2026/05/04
George Wrighster breaks down Oregon football in an interview with head coach Dan Lanning. He also discusses the updates in Brendan Sorsby gambling scandal and his eligibility at Texas Tech football. In addition college football media rights with Amazon Prime, ghost transfers, NCAA eligibility five-to-play-five rules, and the future of college football in this loaded College Football Podcast episode on the Unafraid Show. This is a full college football conversation built around Dan Lanning explaining why Oregon Ducks football keeps growing, Brendan Sorsby’s gambling situation getting worse for Texas Tech and Cincinnati, Duke basketball and Amazon Prime opening the door to future college football streaming fights, and why the NCAA’s next eligibility move could create a massive legal mess.
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.

Miami Hurricanes Intel, Big Ten vs SEC NFL Draft , Brendan Sorsby, Diego Pavia & More
2026/04/29
George Wrighster breaks down Miami Hurricanes football, Mario Cristobal, Diego Pavia, Brendan Sorsby, Texas Tech football, Oregon football, the NFL Draft, Big Ten vs SEC football, and the truth about where college football stands right now in this loaded George Wrighster’s College Football Podcast episode. This is a full college football conversation built around whether Miami Hurricanes football is really back, why Diego Pavia was never getting drafted in the NFL Draft, why Texas tech football's Brendan Sorsby’s gambling situation was inevitable in modern sports culture, and why the NFL Draft says more about the Big Ten and SEC than people want to admit!
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.
