Would a 24-team College Football Playoff weaken the regular season? George Wrighster breaks down the expansion debate, then welcomes David Cone to talk Michigan football, Bryce Underwood and Kyle Whittingham.

On The Unafraid Show, the college football home of Dirty Mo Media, George explains why Ohio State vs Indiana captures what makes October matter—and why more playoff spots could change the pressure on Ohio State, LSU, Oregon and Texas. He also tackles the playoff calendar, conference access and why expansion may not give coaches the job security they expect.

Plus, is Notre Dame actually better than Georgia? George makes the case for Marcus Freeman’s Fighting Irish while explaining why the Bulldogs have earned their ranking. He previews Kentucky vs Oklahoma, Cal vs Wake Forest, Georgia vs Auburn, Washington vs Purdue, Missouri vs Ole Miss and Oklahoma State vs Houston.

Also in this episode:
– Why Jake Dickert could become one of college football’s most sought-after head coaches.
– Jedd Fisch’s NIL argument and the pressure on Washington heading into Purdue.
– Austin Simmons vs Trinidad Chambliss and Missouri’s chance to prove it belongs in the CFP conversation.
– Why George thinks a Houston win could help Oklahoma State fans manage expectations.
