After months (years?) of speculation, 5-star running back David Gabriel Georges will announce his decision today. Most insiders feel that Tennessee will be his choice, but could DGG pull a surprise announcement and select Ohio State?Also, The Athletic did its yearly college football quarterback rankings, and OSU's Julian Sayin came in at No. 5. Does that sound about right? Who were the four QBs ranked ahead of him? Where did the other Big Ten quarterbacks land on the list?Dave Biddle and Matt Baxendell discuss that and much more on the Wednesday 5ish.

We've been on the David Gabriel-Georges recruiting rollercoaster for what feels like ... an eternity. But the ride comes to an end tomorrow. Will it be a thrilling experience we look back on with affection? Uhhh ... we will see.It's the third high-profile courtship in recent memory that saw Ohio State and Tennessee come down to the wire.

Mark Porter is here while Garrick Hodge - in a bout of clairvoyance - is on vacation this week.

Could the SEC actually break away from the NCAA? On this episode of Last Call, Mick Gillispie and former Alabama national championship quarterback Jake Coker react to Greg Sankey's eye-opening comments from SEC Media Days and discuss why college football's lack of leadership, inconsistent NIL rules and massive financial disparities could eventually lead to a new super-league. The guys examine how a potential SEC and Big Ten breakaway could reshape college football, whether programs like Clemson and Florida State could eventually join the SEC, and why the current system cannot regulate Alabama, Texas, Ohio State and Michigan the same way it regulates smaller athletic departments. Jake also revisits the legendary feud between Nick Saban and Jimbo Fisher, revealing how personally Fisher took Saban's comments about Texas A&M recruiting. With NIL spending now becoming the standard across college football, does Jimbo's furious response look even worse in hindsight? The conversation then turns to the culture Nick Saban built at Alabama. Jake shares inside stories about the player-led leadership of Jarran Reed, Jonathan Allen, A'Shawn Robinson, Ryan Anderson and other Crimson Tide stars—including how Scott Cochran reportedly broke a second-place trophy to reinforce Alabama's championship-or-bust mentality. Can that type of culture still exist in the transfer portal and NIL era? Plus, Alabama was picked to finish a stunning seventh in the SEC preseason poll. Are Kalen DeBoer and the Crimson Tide being overlooked? Jake breaks down Ryan Grubb's quarterback development, Alabama's loaded QB room, Kane Wommack's defense, concerns about the offensive line and running game, and why the Tide could once again use preseason disrespect as motivation. And, of course, Jake and Mick debate what truly qualifies someone as a “redneck,” complete with stories about Jimbo Fisher, hunting, giant bucks and turkey heads.

Ken and Lima dig into Ohio State's brutal schedule and whether the Buckeyes could realistically lose four games and still make the expanded playoff, before pivoting into a broader lament about how NIL and the transfer portal have changed the sport. Ken argues something has to give on regulation, pointing to real examples of players getting sued over buyouts, while Owen and Ken share personal stories about players and coaches leaving the moment a better opportunity appears. They also wrestle with how much big-money boosters now determine a program's success independent of tradition, culture, or coaching.
