82-0 Challenge: Building the Perfect College

George releases the full Big Ten football coach rankings. Next, Notre Dame football is becoming one of the scariest roster-building operations in college football under Marcus Freeman, why Texas Tech football's upcoming Paramount+ docuseries better tell the full Brendan Sorsby story, and why the Oregon Ducks Tokyo push proves Oregon football may be the most professional operation in the sport. George explains how Marcus Freeman is recruiting at a level Brian Kelly never reached at Notre Dame, why Texas Tech cannot pretend the Sorsby drama was just a side plot, and why Oregon’s Dante Moore billboard, Japan showcase, and international branding play show a business-minded approach that other schools will eventually try to copy. Then George responds to fan backlash over his Top 10 college football quarterback rankings.

Wrapping Up the Draft

Alabama football is heading in the wrong direction. Can Kalen DeBoer stop the Crimson Tide from becoming just another really good program instead of the sport’s inevitable final boss. He also reacts to the NCAA’s new five-for-five eligibility model getting sued almost immediately, why the rollout is the real issue, how the rule could push more pressure down into high school sports and parenting decisions, why the NIL market is already headed past $4.5 billion, and why the revenue-sharing cap is starting to feel fake if third-party money keeps flowing. George also breaks down EA Sports College Football 27 ratings, Ohio State's Jeremiah Smith becoming the first 99 overall player of the new era, Oregon Ducks having the most loaded roster in the game, and why the Big 12 might have more high-end talent than people want to admit. He also talks about Nike bringing back The Opening with real NIL money on the line, the Citadel finding human remains under its stadium, and why 1991 Washington deserves more respect in any conversation about the best college football teams of the 1990s.

George explains why the real problem for Alabama football is not that DeBoer cannot coach, because he can, but that the Alabama Crimson Tide are no longer recruiting, retaining, and scaring people the way it did under Nick Saban.

Top 12 College Football Quarterbacks for 2026

Final Thoughts on Quarterback Rankings

Texas Tech QB Brendan Sorsby is left with nowhere to play with the NFL supplemental draft not happening, George explains why Oregon Ducks taking Dante Moore and the Oregon football brand to Tokyo, Japan is a massive NIL and business lesson for the rest of college football, and says college football analyst David Pollack is right that too many families are letting youth sports steal summers that should still belong to childhood. He also breaks down why the NCAA reportedly canceling waiver requests instead of deciding them could send even more athletes back to court.

Ranking the best college football quarterbacks for the 2026 season based on one question: if you had a national championship roster, who do you trust most to win it all? George puts Dante Moore at No. 1, followed by CJ Carr, Darian Mensah, Julian Sayin, and Trindad Chambliss, while also breaking down where Arch Manning, Gunner Stockton, Nico Iamaleava, Byron Brown, Noah Fifita, and others land. He explains why this is not an NFL Draft ranking, but a trust ranking built around production, decision-making, toughness, recovery, and who has shown the ability to handle real pressure.
