    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. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

    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.

    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.  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
