CFP REACTION + Week 12 Upsets Incoming: Texas–Georgia, Oklahoma–Bama, USC–Iowa

from Unafraid Show with George Wrighster · host Fox Sports Radio and iHeartPodcasts

College Football Playoff rankings (CFP) are out, and College football Week 12 Predictions and preview gets real fast. Live reaction to the CFP Top 25 plus bold previews and predictions for the biggest CFB games: Iowa football vs USC football, Oklahoma vs Alabama football, Texas Longhorns vs Georgia Bulldogs, Minnesota vs Oregon Ducks, Notre Dame football vs Pittsburgh, Wisconsin Badgers vs Indiana football, South Carolina vs Texas A&M, Florida Gators vs Ole Miss, and TCU vs BYU football. George Wrighster cuts through the noise on who’s truly built for November and which results actually move the CFB Playoff needle across the SEC, Big Ten, ACC, and Big 12.   We’ll call our Upset Alerts—Michigan football vs Northwestern, Virginia vs Duke, Utah Utes vs Baylor, NC State vs Miami—and explain the exact pressure points (QB play, travel, depth, and coaching edges). Then we hit the No Doubt board—UCLA vs Ohio State, UCF vs Texas Tech—with a reality check on why elite rosters separate late. Can USC protect long enough to beat Iowa’s physicality? Will Alabama suffocate Oklahoma or get dragged into tempo? Is Texas ready for Georgia’s body blows? And does Oregon keep its playoff path clean against a tricky Minnesota? We’ll stack résumés, challenge brand bias, and project who lands inside the CFP Top 12 after Week 12. Drop your winners, your upset pick, and your updated Top 10—receipts welcome.   Chapters: 00:00 – CFP rankings drop: what the committee got right/wrong 01:00 – Why rewarding wins matters; Ole Miss vs BYU/Texas Tech example 02:46 – Group of Five snapshot: Cincinnati, USF, JMU case 03:33 – Notre Dame schedule defense; Pitt value; USC win context 04:29 – Iowa holds ranking after Oregon loss; LV–UVA wobble 05:29 – ACC picture: Miami’s ceiling, Duke’s real path to Charlotte 06:29 – How Miami could be boxed out despite winning 07:24 – Big Ten vs ACC take pushed on TV; devaluing PSU/NU wins 09:12 – Notre Dame at 9; streaks, bias, and poll inertia 10:10 – Top 10 churn: Texas Tech, Alabama, Georgia, Texas A&M debate 11:14 – Best wins & FPI snapshot; conference depth reality 13:06 – Why AP poll still shapes narratives; who should vote 17:27 – Hypothetical CFP 12-team bracket and matchups 18:21 – Oregon’s title path has to run through UGA/Bama/OSU 19:53 – USC vs Iowa: styles-make-fights, spread/total, pick lean 24:34 – Oklahoma at Alabama: defense vs run game, upset case 29:11 – Texas vs Georgia: Sark vs Kirby, QB form, red-zone stakes 32:24 – Oregon vs Minnesota: rain, schedule quirk, big number call 36:52 – Notre Dame vs Pitt: QB outlook, run D vs run game, cover watch 41:33 – Wisconsin at Indiana: physical script, why the dog can hang 45:39 – South Carolina at Texas A&M: identity check, number vs result 50:21 – Florida at Ole Miss: QB turmoil vs steady system, blowout risk 54:06 – TCU at BYU: back-half gauntlet, live-dog upset blueprint 57:28 – Michigan vs Northwestern at Wrigley: weather/venue swing 1:00:55 – Duke at Virginia: QB health watch, third-down math 1:03:47 – Baylor vs Utah: edges vs explosives, cover vs win 1:06:31 – NC State at Miami: RPO strain, trap-game alert 1:08:21 – Zero-threat slate: Texas Tech–UCF; UCLA at Ohio State; GT–BC wrap   #CFP #CFPRankings #uscfootball #AlabamaFootball #OklahomaSooners #TexasLonghorns #CollegeFootball #GeorgiaFootball #Week12 #APTop25  #IowaHawkeyes #SEC #BigTen #ACC #Big12 #OregonDucks #MinnesotaFootball #NotreDameFootball #PittFootball #WisconsinFootball #IndianaFootball #TexasAMFootball #SouthCarolina #OleMiss #FloridaGators #TCU #BYU #OhioState #UCLA #MiamiHurricanes #UnafraidShow #GeorgeWrighster #Live #oregonfootball #reaction #collegefootballreactionSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
