College Football Playoff chaos, Michigan football scandal fallout, and Notre Dame’s College Football Playoff deal all collide in this episode of College Football Apostles with George Wrighster and Ralph Amsden. Sherrone Moore’s firing at Michigan, the burner account that helped expose the scandal, and the long-running culture issues inside the Wolverines’ program are on the table as George and Ralph debate whether Ward Manuel has to go and if Michigan needs to completely clean house to move forward. They break down why Moore was hired in the first place, how much he knew about the Connor Stalions era, and why Michigan might have believed the school would always protect its own – right up until it didn’t.

From there, the conversation shifts to Notre Dame’s sweetheart CFP deal and the blowback from the Irish opting out of a bowl game. George and Ralph dive into how Notre Dame’s automatic playoff access if it finishes in the top 12 is rubbing the SEC, Big Ten, ACC and Big 12 the wrong way, and why other leagues might band together to freeze the Irish out of future scheduling if South Bend keeps flexing on everyone. They break down the growing “World War I” vibe in college football, with power brokers and commissioners lining up on different sides of the Notre Dame drama.

The guys also break down the 12-team College Football Playoff bracket, asking whether byes are actually an advantage after last year’s semifinal field came from seeds 5–8. They walk through potential paths for Indiana, Ohio State, Georgia, Texas Tech, Oregon, Ole Miss, Miami and more, including upset picks and national title predictions that will have fanbases fired up. Finally, George and Ralph talk transfer portal and NIL quarterback money—what a Heisman-caliber QB will cost, which dual-threats can change a program’s future, and how schools should approach the exploding QB market. If you want smart, honest, no-fluff college football talk that isn’t afraid to touch scandals, power plays and big money, this 53-minute episode is for you.

College Football Playoff rankings, National Signing Day and the wild college football coaching carousel all collide as George Wrighster and Ralph Amsden dig into one of the craziest weeks of the season on College Football Apostles. Across 1 hour and 48 minutes, the guys explain why Signing Day doesn’t mean what it used to in the transfer portal + NIL era, share George’s own recruiting story, and react to the No. 1 QB recruit flipping at the last minute after media leaks hijacked his big moment. They break down how recruiting insiders, edit makers and social media have completely changed commitment season and what that means for players, coaches and fans.

From there, it’s pure coaching carousel chaos: LSU betting big on Lane Kiffin, Auburn gambling on Alex Golesh, Florida turning to John Sumrall, Ole Miss elevating Pete Golding and Kentucky landing Will Stein. George and Ralph talk risk vs reward on each move, which hires are built for culture and development, and which ones are just chasing a press conference win. They also get into the Penn State mess, Jimmy Sexton’s power, and how ADs are playing a dangerous game with timing and buyouts.

In the final stretch, the show shifts to CFP chaos scenarios and championship weekend previews: Duke vs Virginia for ACC respect, Alabama vs Georgia in the SEC Championship, BYU vs Texas Tech in a high-stakes Big 12 matchup, and what Indiana–Ohio State could reveal about the Big Ten. The guys lay out how the current committee setup invites bias, pitch a more transparent, democratic system, and imagine what happens if underdogs blow up the bracket. If you want smart, honest, no-fluff college football talk that actually respects your time, this is your show.

College football playoff rankings, CFP chaos and conference championship scenarios across the SEC, Big Ten, Big 12 and ACC take center stage as George Wrighster and Ralph Amsden fire up a full College Football Apostles episode. From Alabama vs Auburn in the Iron Bowl and Ohio State vs Michigan in The Game, to Oregon Ducks vs Washington Huskies, Texas Longhorns vs Texas A&M, Notre Dame, Miami and more, they dig into who’s overrated, who’s being slept on and how wild this postseason picture could get.

George and Ralph start by tearing into the latest College Football Playoff rankings, calling out fans melting down over Miami and Notre Dame, and explaining why the committee mostly just sorts teams by win–loss record while everyone screams about “injustice.” They move into the insane conference title math: Big Ten tiebreaker mess with Ohio State, Indiana, Michigan and Oregon, ACC chaos paths for Miami, complicated SEC championship scenarios with Alabama, Georgia, Texas A&M and Ole Miss, and Big 12 title possibilities that still keep Arizona State and BYU alive.

From there, it’s pure matchup talk: Iron Bowl upset potential with Deuce Knight and Auburn, Ohio State’s suffocating defense against Michigan’s grind-it-out style, Georgia vs Georgia Tech as a sneaky chaos spot, and Oregon–Washington as a Big Ten football heavyweight fight. They also hit the Egg Bowl drama around Lane Kiffin and Ole Miss, Texas A&M’s flimsy résumé in the Texas rivalry, LSU–Oklahoma, Vanderbilt–Tennessee, USC–UCLA, and even Notre Dame–Stanford and Utah–Kansas as games that could quietly flip the narrative. If you want long-form, honest, funny CFB talk with no manufactured outrage, this episode is your ride through the final week before the bracket is real.

College football Week 13, College Football Playoff chaos, coaching carousel drama, USC vs Oregon, Oklahoma, Miami, Texas and Big 12 / SEC storylines all collide in this Unafraid Show episode with George Wrighster. George and Ralph start by celebrating being right about Oklahoma beating Alabama and Georgia smashing Texas, then shout out an FCS showdown between Central Arkansas and Southern Utah featuring transfer-portal-bound running backs Landon Chambers and Joshua Dye.

From there, they dive into the new reality of quarterbacks testing the transfer portal and NIL market in-season, using the Sam Levitt–Arizona State situation and the reporting around his camp “shopping” him as a case study in how representation, secrecy and value all collide in modern college football. George breaks down why players have to know their worth—and how going about it the wrong way can blow up on a fan base and a locker room.

Then it’s on to the coaches: Mario Cristobal, Lane Kiffin, Alex Golesh and others dodging questions about their future while fan bases, recruits and players just want straight answers. George and Ralph talk honestly about why coaches lie in press conferences, why media members should push back harder, and how programs have to protect themselves in the middle of the coaching carousel.

Finally, they roll into full Week 13 picks and previews: USC vs Oregon in Eugene in what feels like a de facto playoff game, Missouri vs Oklahoma with the Sooners’ nasty run defense, Georgia Tech vs Pitt and a sneaky Heisman conversation, BYU vs Cincinnati and a potential two–Big 12 team playoff scenario, plus Miami vs Virginia Tech and Texas vs Arkansas with Arch Manning and a shaky Longhorns run game. If you love smart, funny and brutally honest college football talk, this is your show.

College football Heisman Trophy race 2025 takes center stage as George Wrighster and Ralph Amsden reveal their current leaders and dive into the wildest storylines across the sport. We start with Heisman momentum (true “Heisman moments,” strength of opponent, November schedules) before ripping through the chaos: Baylor AD Mack Rhoades stepping aside and what that means for the CFP committee, LSU’s attempt to wriggle out of Brian Kelly’s reported $54M obligation, and how AD/coach power plays create leverage for raises without tanking locker rooms. We also break down Rick George stepping down at Colorado and what it signals for Deion Sanders’ future.

Then we tackle a darker trend: players and coaches facing threats tied to gambling losses—highlighted by the arrest in the Louisville/Jeff Brohm case—and what real safeguards schools, leagues, and platforms can put in place. In Wrighster or Wrong, we debate Eli Drinkwitz saying we need to ditch a “playoff-or-bust” mentality, whether Rivals’ Adam Gorney should’ve asked Knox Kiffin about Lane’s job status, and if creators are right to call out Catapult Sports takedowns. Finally, we react to Pat Narduzzi’s “don’t care if we lose by 100” comment, and close with Q&A + upset radar. If you want smart, spicy CFB talk with zero fluff, jump in live and bring your receipts.

College Football Apostles podcast with George Wrighster dives into the week’s biggest college football stories across the SEC, Big Ten, AP Top 25, and CFP conversation—coaching carousel drama at Penn State and the Florida Gators, James Franklin’s College GameDay interview, Billy Napier’s firing, and why some bluebloods may find the hiring pool thinner than fans think. George and Ralph Amsden tackle AD vote-of-confidence statements at Wisconsin, Auburn, and Florida State, then shift to on-field star power: can Diego Pavia make a real Heisman push if Alabama and Ty Simpson keep stacking wins?

They also hit viral moments and fan culture: Sacramento State’s president poking the “Montana Pandas,” Texas Tech’s tortilla-throwing ban, field-storming etiquette after BYU–Utah, and a tense exchange between Coastal Carolina players and App State fans. Plus, a locker-room leadership conversation after Texas Longhorns edge rusher Colin Simmons “corrects” Steve Sarkisian at the podium—team unity or media misstep? To cap it off, George ranks his six most important games of the weekend and breaks down Big 12 pressure points for Utah, Arizona State, Baylor, Cincinnati, BYU, and Iowa State, with a Group-of-6 CFP check-in featuring Memphis vs USF.

College Football Apostles with George Wrighster and Ralph Amsden dives into the week’s hottest stories: Deion Sanders and Colorado Buffaloes hosting a Transfer Portal “audition” scrimmage, rumors of Adidas circling the Penn State football coaching search, and Michigan Wolverines pushing back on the Big Ten’s reported $2.4B private-equity deal.

Mid-show bombshell: Indiana Football’s Curt Cignetti locks an 8-year, $11.6M extension at Indiana football—we react in real time and lay out what it means for the coaching carousel.

We also hit the bizarre and brilliant headlines you can’t ignore: Paul Finebaum and Todd Graham flirting with political runs, the SAFE Act vs SCORE Act tug-of-war, a rumored Saudi Investment Fund move on Electronic Arts and what that could mean for the NCAA college football video game, plus Arizona State vs Kansas in London, jersey sponsorship patches on college uniforms, and Ludacris doing a breakfast show in Chapel Hill. It’s pure Unafraid energy—news, nonsense, and real ball talk in one punchy Short.

College Football Apostles live reaction and Week 5 preview with College Football Playoff stakes across the SEC, Big Ten, ACC, and Big 12: Mike Gundy fired, SEC and ACC moving to nine conference games, and how it all reshapes rankings for brands like the Georgia Bulldogs, Ohio State Buckeyes, Oregon Ducks, Alabama Crimson Tide, Texas Longhorns, Michigan Wolverines, USC Trojans, Miami Hurricanes, LSU Tigers, Oklahoma Sooners, Penn State Nittany Lions, Notre Dame Fighting Irish and more. George Wrighster and Ralph Amsden unpack a chaotic week—parity everywhere, officiating controversies (Auburn–Oklahoma), AP Top 25 voter madness, and QB storylines from Arch Manning to DJ Lagway.

We hit the tough stuff first: the App State/UCF tragedy and why coaches’ health matters, then the mid-season carousel—what Gundy’s exit means for Oklahoma State and why UCLA, Virginia Tech, and Florida timing their decisions around the portal/redshirt clock changes everything. QB room talk gets spicy: Texas Tech finding juice with Will Hammond, why we’re (maybe) buying USC after DeAnton Lynn’s arrival, and why Cal true freshman Jaron-Keawe Sagapolutele is turning the ACC on its head. We debate Lane Kiffin’s “take the over” moment with his daughter dating LSU LB Witt Weeks, the line between fun and frowned-upon gambling talk, and how NIL/transfer-portal realities drive both roster building and media narratives.

Rankings heat: who actually earned a bump—Miami, Oregon, Ohio State—and who’s living on brand equity. We comb the AP ballots, call out head-to-head blind spots, and lay down a transparent Top-25 rubric (quality wins, strength of schedule, explosive rate, red-zone TD%, turnover margin). Then it’s the Week-5 look-ahead: Oregon at Penn State White Out, Alabama vs Georgia in Athens, USC vs Illinois, Ole Miss vs LSU, plus G5 risers (UNLV, Tulane, USF, Memphis). It’s receipts season—bring your top-4, biggest overreaction, and coach on the brink. Subscribe to The Unafraid Show for no-BS film talk, betting edges, and weekly reality checks.
