    Oklahoma 27, Texas 24: Tate Sandell hitting a 47-yard field goal as time expired in the Red River Rivalry, Arch Manning throwing a pick-six to Peyton Bowen, and Courtland Guillory intercepting him late, after George floated this exact upset on Friday and two national writers told him there was nothing on film to justify it.

  • Is Deion Sanders running out of time at Colorado? And could Lincoln Riley be facing a similar problem at USC?

    George Wrighster welcomes Andy Staples and Ari Wasserman to the Unafraid Show for a college football conversation covering Deion Sanders' future at Colorado, Lincoln Riley's struggles at USC, the Heisman Trophy race, and the biggest Week 7 matchups.

    Colorado's struggles have raised serious questions about Coach Prime's recruiting strategy. Can Deion Sanders rebuild the Buffaloes without consistently recruiting high school talent, or has the transfer portal approach reached its limits?

    Meanwhile, USC is facing Penn State as an underdog despite Penn State's own struggles. Andy Staples and Ari Wasserman explain why the betting line might be telling college football fans something they're overlooking.

    The conversation also turns into a heated Heisman debate. Is Jeremiah Smith the best player in college football? Are Malachi Toney and Jesse Legree being evaluated fairly? And should Heisman voters care about the school a player attends?

    Plus, the guys discuss the Big Ten's potential 24-team College Football Playoff, Indiana's scheduling controversy, and the biggest games of the weekend.

  • Why Is Nobody Talking About Notre Dame?

    George Wrighster breaks down the biggest college football matchups on the schedule, starting with the Red River Rivalry and what Texas vs. Oklahoma means for Arch Manning, Steve Sarkisian and Brent Venables. Oregon is officially on upset alert against a dangerous UCLA team, while Indiana vs. Nebraska gives both programs a chance to prove they belong among college football's contenders.

    George releases his People's Top 25 with Alabama at No. 1 and UCLA inside the Top 10, then looks at the AP Poll and Bill Connelly's SP+ rankings to show how dramatically college football changes when preseason expectations and reputation are removed from the equation. Bryan Driskell of Irish Breakdown joins the show to discuss why Notre Dame is receiving so little national attention, CJ Carr, the Fighting Irish defense, Notre Dame's schedule and whether Marcus Freeman's team could beat the best programs in the SEC.

    Plus: LSU vs. Kentucky, Texas A&M vs. Missouri, UCF vs. Oklahoma State and more from another huge weekend of college football.

  • Week 5 Reaction: USC Can't Pass The Eye Test, Coaching Hot Seats & More

  • Minnesota 20, Michigan 14: the Little Brown Jug going to the Golden Gophers in the 100th meeting, and Bryce Underwood going 10 of 21 for 101 yards with two interceptions in Michigan football's second straight loss

  • Dan Lanning Joins, CFB Hot Seat List & Week 5 Picks

    Dan Lanning joins George Wrighster and the Unafraid Show after Oregon Ducks win over USC to talk Oregon football, Dante Moore's recovery, UCLA, and why the Ducks are still “not remotely close” to the team they want to become. George also breaks down one of college football’s biggest problems: viewership is down, but the marquee games are still producing huge audiences. Is college football losing fans, or are the Big Ten, SEC, ACC and Big 12 simply giving viewers too many bad early-season matchups? Then it’s time for the college football hot seat. Mike Norvell at Florida State, Lincoln Riley at USC, Shane Beamer at South Carolina, Deion Sanders at Colorado, Bill Belichick at North Carolina, Dave Aranda at Baylor and more coaches are facing serious pressure as the season moves forward.

    Plus, we get into the wild Auburn recruiting story that George describes as college football-level “corporate espionage,” Northwestern’s controversial visitor locker room, and five games to watch including Auburn vs Tennessee, Virginia vs Florida State, Boston College vs SMU, Michigan State vs Wisconsin and Baylor vs Arizona State. Dan Lanning closes the show with an extended conversation about Oregon football’s preparation, UCLA, the Ducks’ response to adversity, recruiting, Oregon’s former players and why he isn’t doing much smiling yet.

  • USC’s $70 Million Lincoln Riley Problem, Week 5 Picks & Petros Papadakis

    Lincoln Riley and USC football face major questions after linebacker Desman Stephens' late hit on Oregon quarterback Dante Moore and what happened on the Trojans’ sideline afterward.

    George Wrighster explains why this is bigger than one dirty play. Did Lincoln Riley lose control of his sideline? What separates USC’s response from the leadership shown by Shane Beamer at South Carolina and Steve Sarkisian at Texas? George also examines how Dan Lanning and the Oregon Ducks have taken control of the national narrative.

    The episode also covers:

    • The different media treatment of Arch Manning and Shedeur Sanders

    • George’s latest college football Top 25

    • The biggest problems with individual AP poll ballots

    • Why the Protect College Sports Act misses the real issue

    • Washington–USC and the pressure facing Lincoln Riley

    • Auburn–Tennessee upset potential

    • Miami–Clemson and the future of Dabo Swinney

    • Alabama–Mississippi State and the Heisman race

    • Ohio State–Iowa at Kinnick Stadium

    • Florida–Missouri, Notre Dame–North Carolina and more Week 5 games

    FOX Sports analyst and former USC captain Petros Papadakis joins George for an unfiltered conversation about Lincoln Riley, USC’s culture, the potential $100 million coaching change, recruiting Southern California, Oregon’s rise and UCLA’s new direction under Bob Chesney.

    Oregon 41, USC 27. The Oregon Ducks got the statement win and lost their quarterback doing it, and George Wrighster reacts live to that plus every top 25 result from Week 4.  

    • The hit that changed the game: Dante Moore taken down by USC's Desman Stephens while sliding, a delay of nearly 15 minutes, and Moore carted off the field  
    • Dylan Raiola coming in cold to finish a top 20 road game, and what it says about Oregon football's quarterback room the rest of the way 
    • Lincoln Riley falling to 0-3 against Dan Lanning and five straight losses to Oregon, with his best USC Trojans roster and a home crowd  
    • Jayden Maiava's night, the downfield connection with Kayden Dixon-Wyatt, and why USC still couldn't run the football  
    • Iowa 20, Michigan 19: Hank Brown hitting Reece Vander Zee for a walk-off touchdown as time expired, the Iowa Hawkeyes' first win over Michigan football since 2016, and Kirk Ferentz beating Kyle Whittingham with roughly half the roster budget

  • Is Lincoln Riley In Trouble?

    The Protect College Sports Act is gaining more traction. But who exactly is this protecting? 

    Why do we keep losing marquee non-conference games? The latest to pull out of some big game is Georgia. George is upset, because it wasn’t that long ago Kirby Smart was talking like these games wouldn’t go away. 

    The defending national champs might be on the verge of improving their roster. Kellan Wyatt and Stephen Daley were granted an injunction and could see the field. But what makes this different than what happened at LSU? 

    Mobile quarterbacks look good, but why doesn’t that always mean success at the end of the day.  

    Before you make your bets this weekend, George has all you need to know about some big games. 

    One of the biggest games this weekend is in the Big Ten with Oregon heading to L.A to take on USC and George chats with Ryan Dyrud to preview the game.

  • USC vs Oregon Is More Important Than You Think

    College football coaches have turned into unscripted WWE superstars, and it's the reason the SEC is destroying the Big Ten right now. George Wrighster breaks down the attention economy, the GW Top 25, the Week 4 watch list and three full game breakdowns.

    Lane Kiffin, Curt Cignetti and Deion Sanders all understand the attention economy, and why promos live forever when you lose. And why the SEC is crushing the Big Ten in visibility, and IU, USC, Nebraska and Penn State aren’t helping the Big Ten. 

    NIL squashed teams stock piling talent which means coaching has never been more important, and the SEC is finally hiring innovators and not just recruiters. 

    The AP Poll is out, and George has some issues with it. 

    The full Week 4 watch list:  

    Oregon at USC  

    Northwestern at Indiana  

    Texas A&M at LSU  

    West Virginia at Oklahoma State  

    Ole Miss at Florida 

    Iowa at Michigan  

    Nebraska at Michigan State 

    Oklahoma at Georgia  

    UCLA at Maryland  

    Texas at Tennessee 

    Colorado at Baylor  

    Plus, full five-keys breakdowns for Oregon at USC, Texas at Tennessee and Iowa at Michigan.

    • LSU at Ole Miss: Lane Kiffin's homecoming, Trinidad Chambliss and the Ole Miss Rebels controlling it from the start, and what this does to LSU football's season
  • Kentucky 31, Texas A&M 21: the Kentucky Wildcats walking into Kyle Field as a road underdog and beating No. 9 Texas A&M football, with Kenny Minchey in his first SEC road start and CJ Baxter behind the Big Blue Wall
  • Florida State at Alabama: Keelon Russell going 23 of 30 for 320 yards and three touchdowns with a 57-yard touchdown run, the Alabama Crimson Tide surviving the upset alert, and what another loss does to Mike Norvell with no athletic director in place
  • Louisville 41, SMU 31: the Louisville Cardinals outlasting the SMU Mustangs in a shootout, Lincoln Kienholz continuing his run, and what it means for the ACC race
  • Clemson 28, North Carolina 20: Dabo Swinney's Clemson Tigers rallying in Chapel Hill, and what North Carolina football looked like in the middle of the Bill Belichick chaos
  • Oregon 84, Portland State 0: why an 84-point shutout doesn't answer a single question the Oklahoma State loss raised about the Oregon Ducks
  • USC at Rutgers and what it says about the USC Trojans on the road under Lincoln Riley
  • NC State's disastrous result against Vanderbilt and where that program goes from here
  • What Week 3 tells us about the College Football Playoff (CFP) picture, and which teams are real
