This is a full college football conversation built around Colorado\u2019s roster size, Kirk Ferentz and Cade McNamara, Notre Dame head coach Marcus Freeman, Michigan\u2019s coaching fallout, and top NFL Draft names like Fernando Mendoza, Ty Simpson, Reuben Bain, Kenyon Sadiq, Dylan Thieneman, and more.<\/p>\n<p>The biggest issue, according to George, is that college football keeps giving fans chaos from every angle. He explains why Colorado really does look small compared to top programs, why Deion Sanders\u2019 2026 season may come down to the first four games, why Iowa getting hit with tampering penalties over Cade McNamara shows how broken NCAA enforcement still is, and why Marcus Freeman\u2019s Esquire feature says a lot about how different modern coaching culture looks. George also breaks down why Sherrone Moore was not set up, why he still could deserve another coaching opportunity in the future, and then brings on Tony Pauline to talk the 2026 NFL Draft, including Fernando Mendoza as a potential QB1, Reuben Bain, Kenyon Sadiq, Ty Simpson, Carnell Tate, Dylan Thieneman, and more before closing with a top 10 mock draft.<\/p>\n<p>Chapters:<\/p>\n<p>00:00 Intro: Colorado, Iowa, Marcus Freeman, Sherrone Moore, NFL Draft<\/p>\n<p>01:53 Best Thing George Saw Today<\/p>\n<p>03:24 Why Colorado Buffaloes\u2019s Team Looks Small<\/p>\n<p>06:29 Colorado\u2019s First Four Games Will Decide The Season<\/p>\n<p>08:40 Iowa Hit With NCAA Tampering Penalties<\/p>\n<p>10:32 Why NCAA Enforcement Takes Too Long<\/p>\n<p>13:35 Marcus Freeman Goes Full Model Mode<\/p>\n<p>15:16 Sherrone Moore Sentencing And Michigan Fallout<\/p>\n<p>18:59 Why Michigan Had To Clean House<\/p>\n<p>20:50 Does Sherrone Moore Deserve Another Chance?<\/p>\n<p>22:52 Tony Pauline Joins The Show<\/p>\n<p>23:33 Fernando Mendoza As QB1 In The 2026 NFL Draft<\/p>\n<p>28:42 Why Tony Pauline Is Sold On Fernando Mendoza<\/p>\n<p>29:33 Reuben Bain\u2019s Draft Outlook<\/p>\n<p>30:24 Ohio State Defenders In The 2026 NFL Draft<\/p>\n<p>32:25 Dylan Thieneman\u2019s NFL Projection<\/p>\n<p>33:12 Kenyon Sadiq\u2019s Rising Draft Stock<\/p>\n<p>34:42 Carnell Tate And The Wide Receiver Rankings<\/p>\n<p>37:06 Ty Simpson And The Quarterback Class<\/p>\n<p>38:31 Arch Manning, Dante Moore, And The 2027 QB Debate<\/p>\n<p>40:49 Top 10 Picks In The 2026 NFL Draft<\/p>\n<p>41:47 No. 1 Fernando Mendoza To The Raiders<\/p>\n<p>45:08 No. 2 Arvell Reese To The Jets<\/p>\n<p>46:53 No. 3 David Bailey To The Cardinals<\/p>\n<p>48:32 No. 4 CeCe Mauga To The Titans<\/p>\n<p>50:11 No. 5 Jeremiah Love To The Giants<\/p>\n<p>51:47 No. 6 Jordan Tyson To The Browns<\/p>\n<p>53:27 No. 7 Sonny Styles To Washington<\/p>\n<p>54:12 No. 8 Kenyon Sadiq To The Saints<\/p>\n<p>55:39 No. 9 Caleb Downs To The Chiefs<\/p>\n<p>56:36 No. 10 Reuben Bain To The Bengals<\/p>\n<p>#CollegeFootball #ColoradoFootball #nfldraft\u00a0 #CFB #DeionSanders #IowaFootball #KirkFerentz #MarcusFreeman #SherroneMoore #GeorgeWrighster #TonyPauline #NFLDraft #2026NFLDraft #FernandoMendoza #TySimpson #ReubenBain #KenyonSadiq #DylanThieneman #Big12Football #BigTenFootball #SECFootball #NotreDameFootball #MichiganFootball #UnafraidShow #CFBNews #CollegeFootballTalk #collegefootballpodcast #cfp<\/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 Deion Sanders and Colorado football, Iowa football and NCAA tampering penalties, Marcus Freeman\u2019s viral Esquire feature, Sherrone Moore\u2019s sentencing and future, and the 2026 NFL Draft in this loaded Unafraid Show live episode.
