On this episode of The Unafraid Show, George Wrighster gets a stadium tour from Arizona State QB Jaden Rashada, say that anyone looking for relief from the transfer takes sides in the war of words between Colorado QB Shedeur Sanders and the Texas 6A high school football community, and predicts the twelve teams he believes will be in the 2024-25 College Football Playoff, and calls out SEC commissioner Greg Sankey for his soft stance on getting more power conference teams into the NCAA tournament. In our first segment, George Wrighster talks about what he expects to be an insane spring 2024 transfer portal season starting on April 15th- and while George knows the fans are sick of the portal, he believes that a course correction is coming soon that will stabilize collegiate rosters. What are some of those course corrections? Tune in to find out. Next up, Colorado QB Shedeur Sanders ignited a debate when he said that he's had to overcome a lot by being a small private school QB in Texas instead of a bigtime 6A conference baller. Most people wouldn't consider a private school education and being the son of Deion Sanders to be adversity, but George Wrighster provides context to explain why Shedeur Sanders is actually correct! In our interview segment, George Wrighster talks to Jaden Rashada about his eventful path from high school to Arizona State by way of University of Florida, and what it's like to be part of a QB competing for reps in the transfer portal era. Jaden Rashada also gives George Wrighster a tour of Arizona State's facilities, and Mountain America Stadium And finally, who are the 12 teams that George Wrighster believes will be in this year's college football playoff?

In the first segment, George Wrighster laments the College Football Playoff expansion to 14 teams without even making it through the inaugural 12 team playoff first. Why do the Big Ten and SEC need more guaranteed playoff spots and more money than the Big 12 and the ACC? And why did the Group of 5 schools agree to go along with this? Next up, George Wrighster sits down with Marcus Arroyo at Arizona State University, where Arroyo has assumed offensive coordinator duties after his stint as head coach out at UNLV, and his time mentoring Justin Herbert in Oregon. Robert Griffin III RG3 might have had good intentions when he told Caleb Williams to refuse to play in Chicago, but George Wrighster gets into just how bad of an idea it would be for Williams to try and play anywhere other than the team that has bent over backwards to build him a top 10 offense. And finally, George gets into why he thinks the last three quarterback draft classes had so many "busts." Hint- it's not the players that are to blame.

Welcome to the BRAND NEW Unafraid Show- where authenticity lives! George Wrighster played college football at Oregon, and played in the NFL, but overcoming his childhood stutter to realize his dream of working in sports media taught him to be Unafraid! In this week's episode, George Wrighster introduces the re-brand of the Unafraid Show, the home for discussions about faith, family, fatherhood, food and sports. George recaps Washington's narrow win over University of Texas, and University of Michigan overcoming self-inflicted wounds all season long to remain undefeated after knocking Nick Saban's Alabama Crimson Tide out of the College Football Playoff. George also gets into the burden of rooting for his rival school, the Washington Huskies, in their quest for a National Championship. In this week's Unafraid Show Interview segment, George welcomes Josh Pate, host of @LateKickwithJoshPate on CBS Sports to discuss his thoughts on the state of college football media, Florida State's exclusion from the CFP, the effect of NIL and playoff expansion on parity and roster depth, how Washington made the championship, and how to save the bowl system. Josh Pate sticks around to play Wrighster or Wrong, and answers the college football GOAT question- Cam Newton or Reggie Bush? In George's "Let That Sink In" segment, George Wrighster looks at the similarities between Lamar Jackson's 2023 MVP run after requesting a trade last spring, to Kobe Bryant's second act with the Los Angeles Lakers after requesting to be traded back in 2007.
