College Football Apostles - WE LOVE CFB

College football is in full chaos mode—bowl games are losing juice, the new College Football Playoff looms large, and bluebloods like Notre Dame, USC, Michigan football and the Utah Utes are right in the middle of it. In this College Football Apostles episode, George Wrighster breaks down the Notre Dame vs USC scheduling mess, Lincoln Riley’s “week zero” comments, and why Irish fans might actually be right this time even while everyone’s mad at them for backing out of the Pop-Tarts Bowl. Then the conversation shifts to CFP expansion, how opt-outs and the transfer portal helped kill traditional bowl season, and what a smarter calendar could look like if college football ever got real leadership.

From there, the show dives into Michigan hiring Kyle Whittingham away from Utah, what that means for the Wolverines in the Big Ten arms race, and why Utah fans are nervous about life under new head coach Morgan Scalley. George and Ralph talk parity, how Indiana, Oregon, Ohio State and Michigan could turn the Big Ten into a weekly heavyweight fight, and why Utah’s depth and recruiting reality always capped their ceiling in the Pac-12 and Big 12. New-age rivalries like LSU–Ole Miss and BYU–Notre Dame pop up thanks to the portal and coaching moves, while Lane Kiffin’s online chaos, USC’s brand spin, and Notre Dame’s future schedules all get put under the microscope.

The back half of the video zeroes in on the transfer portal and NIL: Steve Sarkisian’s rant about unqualified agents, why some player reps are wrecking deals, and how bad language in NIL contracts can haunt a kid long after he leaves campus. George also reacts to an Oklahoma State lineman “visiting” his own school out of the portal, and Clemson running back Keith Adams Jr. publicly saying he was misused in four years with the Tigers—raising real questions about loyalty, opportunity, and what it means to speak out once you’re finally outside the building. If you care about where college football is headed—CFP expansion, NIL, Big Ten vs SEC power, Notre Dame’s future, USC’s brand, Utah and Michigan’s next chapter—this episode is a must-watch.

College football coaching carousel, Michigan Wolverines head coach search drama and transfer portal quarterbacks dominate this episode of College Football Apostles with George Wrighster and Ralph Amsden, as they sort through the wildest storylines in the sport. Michigan football is scrambling late in the cycle, and the guys break down whether Kalen DeBoer should bolt Alabama football, how real Kenny Dillingham-to-Michigan is, why Arizona State president Michael Crow is playing chicken, and if names like P.J. Fleck or Brian Hartline make any sense at all. They also talk about Ward Manuel’s future and why this might be the moment for Michigan to completely clean house after months of scandal. SEC football, Big ten, ACC, and Big 12 are shell shocked this offseason.

From there, the focus shifts to USC football and the Danton Lynn situation. What happens if Lincoln Riley loses his defensive coordinator to Penn State football, and could USC actually fall upward into someone like Pete Kwiatkowski? George and Ralph react to USC football’s “re-signing” social media campaign and how turning roster retention into NFL-style free agency might backfire in the locker room. The show then digs into the firing of Ohio head coach Brian Smith after details of an inappropriate relationship with an undergraduate came out, and what it says about personal behavior, power dynamics and university leadership.

In the back half of the show, it’s pure transfer portal quarterback chaos: Brendan Sorsby, DJ Lagway, Sam Leavitt, Dylan Raiola, Kenny Minchey, Bo Pribula and more. The guys match big-name QBs with ideal destinations like Oregon, Nebraska, Florida, Memphis and Virginia, explaining which systems and coaches can actually unlock their potential instead of wrecking their careers. They close with a conversation on Matt Rhule’s surprise extension at Nebraska, whether the Huskers really earned that kind of reinvestment, and how much faith fans should have in athletic directors who get spooked by the rumor mill. If you want smart, unfiltered CFB talk that hits Michigan, USC, the portal and the money side of this sport, this 58-minute episode is your jam.

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.
