College Football Apostles - WE LOVE CFB

On this episode of College Football Apostles, George Wrighster and Ralph Amsden get into the Matthew Sluka vs UNLV drama, and Bear Alexander's decision to sit out the rest of the season at USC? Is NIL to blame for all this? The guys also get into Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy's pledge to provide NIL funding for a top transfer QB to head to Michigan every single year.

Plus, Auburn coach Hugh Freeze is out here beefing with his current quarterbacks, his old quarterback, University of Arkansas, and Lane Kiffin- does he need to slow his role or has too much been made of his comments? Also, the Pac-12 is picking apart the Mountain West, but some schools have elected to not make the jump as the war between the two conferences plays out in the courts.

And last up, should politicians be using appearances at college football games as election tactics? In our week 5 preview, the guys discuss games between Oklahoma State and Kansas, Louisville and Notre Dame, Georgia and Alabama, Illinois and Penn State, and Wisconsin and USC, and give their weekly picks against the spread.

On this week's episode of the College Football Apostles, George Wrighster and Ralph Amsden get into this week's best (and strangest) headlines, and make their picks for six of this weekend's top games. 
First, George Wrighster gets fooled by a fake Cam Rising injury update, and the guys reflect on their days of covering Utah in the old Pac-12, and their history of being aloof about injury updates. 
Next, Shilo Sanders talked trash and got smashed- what do George and Ralph think about all the bravado and hype music now that Colorado is already looking like a mediocre Big 12 team?
Other stories include a very strange ACC coin, a Purdue student getting screwed out of a car lease after making a 40-yard field goal, USC retiring Caleb Williams jersey in the same press release where they announced Reggie Bush getting the same honor, Braylon Edwards and three other players suing the Big Ten and NCAA, and George's problem with Thomas Hammock publicly stating that he's helping Marcus Freeman after NIU beat Notre Dame. 
In this week's picks, we go over Alabama at Wisconsin, Notre Dame at Purdue, Georgia at Kentucky, Ole Miss at Wake Forest, and Oregon at Oregon State.

Does Sherrone Moore have an unsigned contract with Michigan?Why did TMZ drop a two-year-old story about Miller Moss farting on his roommates pillow?Did Billy Napier go too far calling out Online Gator fan trolls?Does DJ Uiagalelei's father need to stay offline for a while?

But first, the guys give their take on the bevy of quarterbacks that earned starting roles this past week, including Miller Moss at USC, Maddux Madsen at Boise State, Sam Leavitt at Arizona State, DeQuan Finn at Baylor, and Danny O'Neill at San Diego State.
Also, the general manager position is a new wrinkle to college football, and Alabama locked in their man at over $800,000 a year in Courtney Morgan. Why is the GM position important, and why does George think Oklahoma State's Mike Gundy has the best take on this so far?
And finally, Iowa's Kirk Ferentz gets suspended one game for tampering with Cade McNamara before he enters the portal, and the guys give their take on the "right" way to tamper.

College Football Apostles talks about the Legal and Business issues CFB. Jaden Rashada’s lawsuit against Florida Gators NIL Collective and HC Billy Napier, Drew Weatherford is trying to get private equity money into college athletics. The NCAA Antitrust lawsuits are finally settling for $2.8 BILLION dollars. Why are the SEC, ACC, Big Ten, Big 12, and Pac-12 settling? Because if they don't, they're going to get smoked in court so bad that it might mean the end of amateurism altogether. ACC Breakup is coming so we are calling this the Better Call Saul episode.

On this episode of College Football Apostles, George Wrighster and Ralph Amsden discuss the most juicy win total college football bets for USC, Miami, Penn State, Oklahoma St, etc.

The guys lead off by discussing which of the opening slate of CFB prime time games in 2024 they're most excited about- George goes with USC/LSU, and Ralph goes with Florida/Miami.

They also get into just how important the week 2 game between Deion Sanders' Colorado Buffaloes squad and Matt Rhule's Nebraska Cornhuskers. Next up, Las Vegas has released their 2024 projected win totals- so which overs do the guys think will hit, and why?

And last, TCU head coach Sonny Dykes says that Alabama football and Louisiana Tech football are playing two different sports when it comes to college football resources, so the guys propose that the smaller conferences form their own league, with their own playoff, while the NCAA institutes European soccer-style promotion and relegation. Big 12, Big Ten, ACC, and SEC conferences are so resourced that a relegation model could make a lot of sense. #collegefootball #cfbnews #collegefootballpodcast #cfbpodcast #CFb betting #coloradobuffaloes #nebraskacornhuskers #sports #alabamacrimsontide #transferportal #nil #USCfootball #miamihurricanes
