CFP Teams + Families Hurt By Transfer Portal: Saban is Winning, Lane Kiffin Villain

 

 

College Football Playoff semifinals are here—Oregon football vs Indiana football and Ole Miss football vs Miami football—and George Wrighster breaks down the Nick Saban effect, the transfer portal chaos, and why this CFP Final Four feels different. With the national championship game next, the biggest story might not even be the matchups… it’s the people and the decisions shaping them.

 

George explains why Nick Saban is still impacting the College Football Playoff more than any coach in history—because the semifinal coaches connect back to his coaching tree in a way college football has never seen. Then he dives into the transfer portal and how it’s hitting teams in real time, including Oregon’s depth getting tested as players leave while the Ducks are still alive in the CFP.

 

This episode also gets personal: George shares his family’s real transfer portal experience with his son currently in the portal, the stress it puts on families, and why opportunity matters just as much as talent—especially for players who weren’t five-star, headline recruits. From NIL market realities to roster turnover across college football, this is the truth-teller version of what’s really happening behind the scenes.

 

Plus, George hits the latest Ole Miss news after Lane Kiffin’s move to LSU, why loyalty still matters in college football, why Carson Beck deserves respect, and how the CFP bracket has gone completely off the rails compared to early-season predictions.
