Reaction to college football games Alabama Crimson Tide vs Oklahoma Sooners, Iowa vs USC Trojans, and Texas A&M vs South Carolina. Kalen Deboer and the Alabama football upset by Oklahoma football and Brent Venables, Lincoln Riley and his USC football, Mike Elko and Texas A&M football headline a loaded Week 12 college football slate with real College Football Playoff and AP Top 25 stakes. I’m going live right after the final whistles to give you blunt, receipts-ready reactions: Did Alabama football handle the moment vs Oklahoma football or did the Sooners flip the script? Did USC football protect the Coliseum against Iowa Hawkeyes football’s physical Big Ten style? And is Texas A&M football quietly building a CFP top-12 résumé after South Carolina football? We’ll stack these results against the latest CFP rankings and talk who’s truly built for November in the SEC, Big Ten, ACC, and Big 12.

Then we rip through the rest of the board: Texas vs Georgia (texas longhorns, georgia bulldogs football), (Sark vs Kirby and what it means for seeding), Notre Dame football vs Pittsburgh (Irish credibility check), Wisconsin vs Indiana (road toughness vs rising Hoosiers), Florida Gators football vs Ole Miss (Lagway vs Lane Kiffin heat), Michigan football vs Northwestern (trap or tune-up), Virginia vs Duke (quiet ACC chaos), Minnesota vs Oregon (Autzen test for P.J. Fleck vs Oregon Ducks football), Utah vs Baylor (Whittingham’s road edge), NC State vs Miami (Hurricanes’ ACC reality), plus scoreboard whips on Texas Tech football and Ohio State football. We’ll call out QB play, line-of-scrimmage truth, and which wins actually move the CFP needle—no brand fluff. Drop your scores and Top 12 in chat; we’re keeping receipts on every prediction.

Reaction to College Football Week 11 and Oregon football beat Iowa Hawkeyes football in a Big Ten statement win, and we’re going LIVE to break down what it means for the College Football Playoff, the AP Top 25, and November seeding. George Wrighster dives into why Dan Lanning’s Oregon Ducks handled Iowa football trademark toughness, how the Ducks’ defense matched the physicality that Kirk Ferentz teams are known for.

College Football Week 11 delivered real AP Top 25 and CFB Playoff consequences, and we’re breaking it all down. George Wrighster recaps the biggest results across the SEC, Big Ten, ACC, and Big 12—from statement wins that boost playoff résumés to upsets that reset November seeding. We get into how contenders like Oregon Ducks football, Ohio State football, Alabama football, LSU football, USC football, Michigan football, Miami Hurricanes, Texas A&M football, Missouri, Washington vs Wisconsin, Penn State, Notre Dame football, and more helped or hurt their paths to the Top 12. No fluff—just who’s for real, who’s living off brand, and what the committee will actually reward. Alabama vs LSU reaction. USC football fake punt Lincoln Riley pulled vs Northwestern reaction.

We hit quarterback poise, coaching edges, travel windows, and injuries that swung games, plus what today means for conference title chases: can Georgia fend off late- season chaos in the SEC, are Oregon and Ohio State headed for a Big Ten collision course, did the ACC tilt toward Miami or Florida State, and which Big 12 squad has the cleanest runway? You’ll get blunt reactions on power ratings, why some “top defenses” don’t scale to playoff speed, and who still controls their destiny. We close with playoff tiers, a Heisman pulse check, and the three teams nobody wants to see in December.

Chapters:

04:15 – Injury/availability & weather context for Oregon–Iowa (why the line didn’t move)

20:59 – Scoring flow & late-game sequence (safety, 58-yd FG, goal-line QB draw)

The College Football Playoff rankings released it's first rankings of the CFB season with Ohio State football, Indiana football, and TexasA&M football in the top 3 and Oregon football, Alabama football, Georgia Bulldogs, Notre Dame football, Ole Miss are in the top 10. We will have college football predictions and previews Week 11 game headliners: BYU vs Texas Tech, Texas A&M vs Missouri, Northwestern vs USC, Oregon vs Iowa, Cal vs Louisville, LSU vs Alabama, Florida State vs Clemson, Ole Miss vs The Citadel, Georgia vs Mississippi State, Tulane vs Memphis, Auburn vs Vanderbilt, Washington vs Wisconsin, Ohio State vs Purdue, Indiana vs Penn State, and Syracuse vs Miami. George Wrighster breaks down who’s properly ranked, who’s inflated, and which brands are built to claim SEC, Big Ten, ACC, and Big 12 crowns—and a spot in the CFP Top 12.

We’ll stack résumés and real on-field proof. Did USC football earn believer status against Northwestern, or is that brand tax? Can the Oregon Ducks grind out a road win vs Iowa football defense, and will Washington Huskies travel against Wisconsin’s physicality? LSU football against Alabama football is pure selection-committee leverage—QB play and explosive rate decide it. In the ACC, it’s time to separate hype from heft: FSU football vs Clemson football tells us whether the ‘Noles are title-good or just ranking-good, while Syracuse vs Miami is a volatility check on the ‘Canes. Big 12 chaos? BYU vs Texas Tech and Tulane vs Memphis both carry New Year’s Six and Top-12 implications. In the SEC, Georgia vs Mississippi State, Ole Miss vs The Citadel, and Auburn vs Vanderbilt are trap-spot audits. Texas A&M vs Missouri might be the truest toughness test all day.

We’ll finish by projecting conference winners and the CFP Top 12 field—what happens if Ohio State handles Purdue, Penn State smothers Indiana, and Miami Hurricanes close strong? Expect blunt truth on quarterback poise, coaching edges, and which defenses actually scale to playoff speed. Drop your Top 12, Heisman three, and the upset you’re calling—then bookmark the stream so you can come back with receipts.

George Wrighster cuts through the noise on which results truly move the needle in the SEC, Big Ten, ACC, and Big 12, and who actually looks built to win each conference heading into November. We’re talking quarterback poise, coaching edges, travel windows, and depth—minus the fluff. Did USC show road toughness at Nebraska? Is Texas dialed enough to handle a scrappy Vanderbilt football team? Did Miami Hurricanes handle business at SMU or flirt with disaster? It’s rivalry heat in Jacksonville with Georgia vs Florida, heavyweight reality check in Penn State vs Ohio State, and brand credibility for Oklahoma vs Tennessee. Plus, did Notre Dame stay steady against Boston College, and are Indiana Hoosiers for real vs Maryland? We’ll close with conference title picks, updated playoff tiers, and who belongs at the top of your ballot—while keeping an eye on ripple effects for Alabama, Oregon, Michigan, LSU, and Notre Dame.

 

Bring your score receipts, your Heisman top three, and your “one team nobody wants in November.” This is straight talk for fans and bettors who want the truth without the corporate filter.

College football Week 9 picks, AP Top 25 shake-up, CFP outlook, and conference power checks across the SEC and Big Ten—George Wrighster breaks down where Georgia Bulldogs and Alabama football really stand, why Ohio State football, Oregon football, and rising Indiana belong in the title convo, and what the latest results mean for Texas Longhorns, LSU football, Texas A&M, UCLA football, and Penn State football. George reveals his CFB Top 25 built on three pillars—quality wins, schedule played, and dominance—then applies it to the weekend slate with no-nonsense picks and coaching context.

We start with the SEC football hierarchy and why brand bias still clouds national perception. George’s Top 25 runs from tough calls at the back end (LSU Tigers, Missouri, Cincinnati/USF tier) to a top-10 that spotlights Indiana football, Ohio State football, Oregon Ducks, plus Georgia and Alabama closing fast. From there, it’s matchup time: UCLA vs Indiana (can the Bruins’ physical reset travel to Bloomington?), Wisconsin vs Oregon (can the Badgers score enough to avoid a rout in Eugene?), and Michigan vs Michigan State (what Sharrone Moore and Jonathan Smith must prove now). The show also hits pivotal games with job-market stakes—Auburn vs Arkansas, Missouri vs Vanderbilt, Northwestern vs Nebraska, and Texas at Mississippi State—and explains how coach rumors affect locker rooms and results.

George digs into Illinois vs Washington (Bret Bielema’s program-builder résumé vs a Husky team needing a signature win), the Colorado vs Utah rivalry and what Deion’s staff changes mean for bowl hopes, and Alabama vs South Carolina where quarterback play decides whether it’s close or a blowout. We close on Group-of-6 leverage (South Florida vs Memphis) and quick hitters (BYU vs Iowa State, Houston vs Arizona State). If you want straight film notes, recruiting reality, and picks with reasons—not vibes—this episode is for you. Like, subscribe, and drop your Top 25 and upset alerts below.

College Football Week 7 live reaction with AP Top 25 fallout, Penn State firing James Franklin, and a coaching carousel set to spin like crazy. George Wrighster breaks down why “no one is safe” in 2025: Ohio State football, Oregon football, Miami Hurricanes, Alabama football, Georgia Bulldogs, Florida State football, Michigan football, Penn State football—every brand just got stress-tested. We’ll hit the shockers (Indiana over Oregon, Texas over Oklahoma, USC over Michigan), what the poll will get wrong on Sunday, and why preseason rankings are useless in the NIL/transfer portal era even as they still warp CFP strength of schedule. Then the big  shocker: did Penn State panic by paying ~$49M to dump James Franklin weeks after being top-5? George explains why emotion-led firings backfire, how modern programs must adapt (staff resets, portal timing, recruiting class protection), and which openings will reshape the sport.

We run through the hottest seats and dream lists—UCLA, Virginia Tech, Oklahoma State, Stanford, Arkansas, Oregon State, with watch-listers like Florida, Wisconsin, Auburn, FSU, UNC—and candidate names fans keep asking about: Curt Cignetti, Lane Kiffin, Dabo Swinney, Marcus Freeman, Alex Golesh, Brent Key, GJ Kinne, Matt Campbell, Jedd Fisch, Clark Lea, Ryan Silverfield, even wild cards like Dan Mullen or Jon Gruden. We’ll also hit game takeaways: Indiana Hoosiers’ front seven harassing Dante Moore, Ohio State Buckeyes turning Illinois mistakes into points, Texas A&M flexing at home, USC Trojans winning with physicality, Tennessee Volunteers closing late, and why Georgia, Oklahoma, Missouri, Iowa State, and Florida State left more questions than answers. Bottom line: parity is the product—upsets travel, depth swings weekly, and the only constant is chaos. Sound off live with your top-4, your “most overrated,” and which coach you’d actually hire tomorrow.
