This is a full college football conversation built around Jeremiah Smith\u2019s real NIL value, Oregon\u2019s quarterback recruiting controversy, Lane Kiffin complaining about the SEC moving to nine conference games, why collective bargaining is the only real answer for college football, and which fan bases actually deserve to be called the best in the sport.<\/p>\n<p>The biggest issue, according to George, is that people keep reacting to college football headlines without understanding the business behind them. He explains why Jeremiah Smith is not really a $10 million player on the open market, but why his value rises because of what it would mean to pull him away from Ohio State. He also breaks down why Oregon\u2019s viral recruiting clip was misunderstood, why Lane Kiffin is already making excuses at LSU instead of just winning, and why Kyle Whittingham is right that collective bargaining, salary caps, and a more professional structure are the only way college football can actually stabilize. Then George closes by explaining why modern college football coaches are basically CEOs running corporations and gives his top 10 college football fan bases, with schools like Ohio State, Notre Dame, Oregon, Texas, Alabama, Florida, Nebraska, Penn State, Texas A&amp;M, and Wisconsin all in the discussion.<\/p>\n<p>Watch the full episode, drop your takes in the comments, and subscribe to The Unafraid Show for more college football reactions, debates, and weekly analysis.<\/p>\n<p>Chapters:<\/p>\n<p>00:00 Intro: Jeremiah Smith, Oregon, Lane Kiffin, Fan Bases<\/p>\n<p>01:45 Best Thing George Saw Today<\/p>\n<p>02:40 Jeremiah Smith\u2019s Real NIL Value<\/p>\n<p>04:23 Why Coaches Would Pay To Keep Him Away From Ohio State football<\/p>\n<p>07:01 Oregon Ducks Viral Recruiting Clip Explained<\/p>\n<p>09:46 Why People Missed The Point<\/p>\n<p>11:19 SEC football Going To 9 Conference Games<\/p>\n<p>14:53 Lane Kiffin\u2019s Complaint About The SEC Schedule<\/p>\n<p>17:28 Why George Says Lane Kiffin Is Making Excuses<\/p>\n<p>24:26 Kyle Whittingham On Collective Bargaining<\/p>\n<p>27:04 Why Collective Bargaining Is The Only Path Forward<\/p>\n<p>33:36 Why College Football Coaches Now Run Corporations<\/p>\n<p>39:18 Top 10 College Football Fan Bases<\/p>\n<p>40:15 Honorable Mentions: Indiana, Utah, LSU, Michigan, Iowa<\/p>\n<p>42:48 No. 10 Wisconsin<\/p>\n<p>43:51 No. 9 Texas A&amp;M<\/p>\n<p>44:51 No. 8 Penn State<\/p>\n<p>45:53 No. 7 Nebraska<\/p>\n<p>46:47 No. 6 Florida<\/p>\n<p>47:39 No. 5 Alabama<\/p>\n<p>48:32 No. 4 Texas<\/p>\n<p>49:34 No. 3 Oregon<\/p>\n<p>50:24 No. 2 Notre Dame<\/p>\n<p>51:20 No. 1 Ohio State<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>#CollegeFootball #LSUFootball #OregonFootball #CFB #JeremiahSmith #OhioStateFootball #LaneKiffin #KyleWhittingham #GeorgeWrighster #NIL #TransferPortal #CollectiveBargaining #BigTenFootball #SECFootball #Top10FanBases #NotreDameFootball #TexasFootball #AlabamaFootball #NebraskaFootball #PennStateFootball #CFBNews #CollegeFootballTalk #UnafraidShow<\/p>\n<p>See <a href=\"https:\/\/omnystudio.com\/listener\">omnystudio.com\/listener<\/a> for privacy information.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>George Wrighster breaks down Jeremiah Smith, Ohio State football, Lane Kiffin, LSU football, Oregon football, Kyle Whittingham, collective bargaining, NIL, the transfer portal, and the top 10 college football fan bases in this loaded Unafraid Show episode.
