• Is Lincoln Riley In Trouble?
    Sep 25 2026

    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
    Sep 23 2026

    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.

    Sep 18 2026

Plus, The hidden reason this is huge for Nike, including the 2000 Oregon Ducks team meeting where George asked Phil Knight why Oregon didn't have the most uniform combinations, and Tinker Hatfield agreeing that Miami did.

  • Tipping Plays, Judgement Day, Pump the Brakes & Week 3 Must Watch List
    Sep 16 2026

    Oregon suffered a bad loss on Saturday to Oklahoma State. Was Oregon just bad, or were they tipping their plays? And how far back has this been happening?

    There's a new AP Poll out, and George has an issue with how voters are treating Ohio State. Some people are going all in on the Protect College Sports Act. Just how much money will be wasted on this?

    Lane Kiffin is now at LSU and faces his former team when they head to Ole Miss on Saturday. Lane Kiffin thinks all the pressure is on Ole Miss, but George says to pump the brakes.

    Week 3 Watch List:

    • Upset Alert: FSU vs. Alabama
    • Narrative Buster: Houston vs. Texas Tech
    • Sneaky Great Game: Kentucky vs. Texas A&M
    • Heisman Watch: Miss. St. vs. South Carolina
    • Sickos Game: Portland St. vs. Oregon
    • You Have Our Attention: Purdue vs. UCLA
    • You Almost Have Our Attention: Florida vs. Auburn
    • Track Meet: USC vs. Rutgers

    Fans are amazing, but we need to pump the brakes on overreactions and calling for people's jobs. It's Week 3; the season isn't over just because your team lost already.

    FSU is looking to upset Alabama for the second consecutive year, and George has five things to look for in this game. In Oxford, Lane Kiffin makes his return, and how he is treated will be interesting to watch. In the ACC, Louisville has another big game when they play SMU. One thing Louisville will find out is if they have finally found their guy at QB.

  • Week 2 Recap: Oregon & Oklahoma Embarrassed, Texas and Michigan Shine & More
    Sep 13 2026

    The contenders and pretenders were separated on Saturday, and George Wrighster breaks down every game that mattered. Ohio State was up 23-3 on Texas but ended up losing. Did OSU blow it, or did Texas win the game? A week after a near-disastrous loss, Michigan showed up and knocked off Oklahoma thanks to Bryce Underwood making plays with his feet. But how sustainable is this for them going forward? Oregon got embarrassed at Oklahoma State. Were they really tipping their run plays? Arizona State had Texas Tech on upset alert, and then the wheels fell off. Kentucky had Alabama fans nervous, but in the end, Alabama was too much. If you're a Kentucky fan, did you leave Saturday encouraged? Arizona was unable to stay with BYU. Unfortunately for Georgia Tech, Alberto Mendoza isn't as good as his brother Fernando. Utah dominated Arkansas, who is simply a bad team right now. Iowa got a big win over rival Iowa State, but what is Iowa's ceiling if they continue to struggle on offense?

  • The SEC's War With LSU, Dabo's Clemson Collapse & Week 2's Biggest Tests
    Sep 10 2026
    The SEC is threatening to expel LSU altogether, and Thursday's meeting could decide the fate of the program. Dabo Swinney's Clemson is unraveling in ways that echo the final, disastrous stretch of Les Miles's career. And a blown clock call in the Michigan-Western Michigan finish has fans questioning whether they can trust the refs at all.
