The Truth About Steve Sarkisian and Texas

Top 10 NFL Games for College Football Fans

Closing Remarks and Call to Action

George Wrighster tells the truth about Texas Longhorns football under Steve Sarkisian. He breaks down whether Texas Football is a real CFP national championship contender, whether Steve Sarkisian is a championship-level coach, why the 24-team College Football Playoff (CFP) keeps gaining momentum, why Indiana fans need a reality check, what Brendan Sorsby’s judge means for Texas Tech, and why college football fans still root for the laundry more than the names in this loaded George Wrighster’s College Football Podcast episode. George also explains why Oregon football had a better offseason than Indiana Football, why the Big Ten coaches unanimously backing a 24-team CFP is bad for the sport, and why the Texas Longhorns are now in the uncomfortable spot where respect is no longer enough and only trophies will do.

The biggest takeaway, according to George, is that Texas is no longer trying to prove it belongs. Texas already matters again. The real question now is whether Steve Sarkisian can finish the job and turn playoff relevance into a national championship. George explains why Sark rebuilt Texas from a 5-7 mess into a real SEC contender, why Quinn Ewers changed the way people talked about the Longhorns, and why the Arch Manning era now comes with no more excuses. He also breaks down why replacing Pete Kwiatkowski with Will Muschamp is a huge gamble, why the 24-team playoff would hurt the regular season more than help it, why Indiana fans are acting like new money in college football, and why fans care more about the jerseys winning than any single player’s NIL value. George also digs into Texas Tech football QB Brendan Sorsby’s legal situation, the Oregon Ducks transfer lawsuit, and the bigger truth that college football still has no real unified leadership.

George Wrighster breaks down USC Trojans football, the 24-team College Football Playoff, Lane Kiffin, Vanderbilt football, Jared Curtis, John Summerall, Drew Allar, Notre Dame football, and the future of college football in this loaded George Wrighster’s College Football Podcast episode. George explains why USC Trojans is going to college football court, why the ACC and Big 12 backing a 24-team playoff is so short-sighted, why Lane Kiffin’s comments about Ole Miss and Mississippi revealed more than people think, how Jared Curtis and Vanderbilt just showed what modern NIL really looks like, and why Jon Sumrall believing more money solves everything is missing the bigger issue.

The biggest takeaway, according to George, is that college football keeps chasing easier paths, more access, and more money instead of protecting what actually makes the sport great. He explains why the 24-team playoff would only move the goalposts again for coaches and conferences, why the playoff should still feel exclusive, and why the Big 12 and ACC are fooling themselves if they think expansion automatically fixes their access problem. George also sounds off on Lane Kiffin’s Vanity Fair comments and says Lane told the truth about recruiting stereotypes, but also revealed that he left Ole Miss because LSU looked like an easier path. He then breaks down why USC fans and USC itself are both on trial in “college football court,” why Drew Allar’s reset with the Steelers proves coaching and development matter more than hype, and why throwing money at problems, like John Summerall wants Florida to do, does not automatically create championships.

George Wrighster interviews Oregon Ducks defensive coordinator and George breaks down the biggest NIL ruling in college football involving the College Sports Commission and Nebraska football, Texas Longhorns head coach Steve Sarkisian sounding off on college football, Brian Kelly using AI to prepare for his next coaching job, USC and Notre Dame trying to restart their rivalry, the Ahmad Hardy shooting update, Ryan Day’s son committing to Northwestern in this College Football Podcast episode. George explains why the Nebraska football ruling could affect every major program in college football, why USC Trojans does not deserve praise for trying to fix a rivalry problem it created, why Brian Kelly’s AI comments feel weird, and why Steve Sarkisian was right about some things and wrong about others.

The biggest takeaway, according to George, is that college football keeps trying to build rules and guardrails that schools immediately fight the second those rules become inconvenient. He explains why the College Sports Commission vs Nebraska case is the biggest NIL ruling since NIL began, why schools want a cap but also want to cheat around it, and why this legal fight is only just beginning. George also digs into Steve Sarkisian comments about tampering, transfer rules, playoff expansion, and academic standards, and says Sark told the truth on some major issues even if he went too far on others. George also reacts to Brian Kelly using AI to prep for future interviews, the possible USC-Notre Dame rivalry return, the Ahmad Hardy shooting news, and Ryan Day’s son committing to Northwestern before sitting down with Oregon football defensive coordinator Chris Hampton to talk about coaching growth, defensive philosophy, Dan Lanning, Big Ten vs SEC, and why Oregon believes it can field the best defense in the country.
