This week on GOATQUEST, Joe and Tom dive headfirst into the wild, wooly circus that is NCAA football, where playoff logic feels optional, money runs the show, and the transfer portal spins faster than a coach on a hot seat. From Notre Dame’s snub to players skipping bowls for bigger futures, the guys break down what’s broken, who’s benefitting, and what’s next. Then it hits home with a no-holds-barred look at Wayne State’s slide under Tyrone Wheatley and the bureaucracy choking the program, before closing with spicy CFP and bowl predictions plus a Mount Rushmore of all-time postseason legends. If college football is chaos, consider this your playbook.
