Baylor’s AD Steps Aside— CFP Effect, Heisman, Deion Sanders Next Move

College football Heisman Trophy race 2025 takes center stage as George Wrighster and Ralph Amsden reveal their current leaders and dive into the wildest storylines across the sport. We start with Heisman momentum (true “Heisman moments,” strength of opponent, November schedules) before ripping through the chaos: Baylor AD Mack Rhoades stepping aside and what that means for the CFP committee, LSU’s attempt to wriggle out of Brian Kelly’s reported $54M obligation, and how AD/coach power plays create leverage for raises without tanking locker rooms. We also break down Rick George stepping down at Colorado and what it signals for Deion Sanders’ future.

Then we tackle a darker trend: players and coaches facing threats tied to gambling losses—highlighted by the arrest in the Louisville/Jeff Brohm case—and what real safeguards schools, leagues, and platforms can put in place. In Wrighster or Wrong, we debate Eli Drinkwitz saying we need to ditch a “playoff-or-bust” mentality, whether Rivals’ Adam Gorney should’ve asked Knox Kiffin about Lane’s job status, and if creators are right to call out Catapult Sports takedowns. Finally, we react to Pat Narduzzi’s “don’t care if we lose by 100” comment, and close with Q&A + upset radar. If you want smart, spicy CFB talk with zero fluff, jump in live and bring your receipts.
