Texas Longhorns CFP Chances, Indiana Football Reality Check, 24-Team Playoff, Brendan Sorsby & More

Author: Fox Sports Radio and iHeartPodcasts May 22, 2026 Duration: 41:49

George Wrighster tells the truth about Texas Longhorns football under Steve Sarkisian. He breaks down whether Texas Football is a real CFP national championship contender, whether Steve Sarkisian is a championship-level coach, why the 24-team College Football Playoff (CFP) keeps gaining momentum, why Indiana fans need a reality check, what Brendan Sorsby’s judge means for Texas Tech, and why college football fans still root for the laundry more than the names in this loaded George Wrighster’s College Football Podcast episode. George also explains why Oregon football had a better offseason than Indiana Football, why the Big Ten coaches unanimously backing a 24-team CFP is bad for the sport, and why the Texas Longhorns are now in the uncomfortable spot where respect is no longer enough and only trophies will do.

The biggest takeaway, according to George, is that Texas is no longer trying to prove it belongs. Texas already matters again. The real question now is whether Steve Sarkisian can finish the job and turn playoff relevance into a national championship. George explains why Sark rebuilt Texas from a 5-7 mess into a real SEC contender, why Quinn Ewers changed the way people talked about the Longhorns, and why the Arch Manning era now comes with no more excuses. He also breaks down why replacing Pete Kwiatkowski with Will Muschamp is a huge gamble, why the 24-team playoff would hurt the regular season more than help it, why Indiana fans are acting like new money in college football, and why fans care more about the jerseys winning than any single player’s NIL value. George also digs into Texas Tech football QB Brendan Sorsby’s legal situation, the Oregon Ducks transfer lawsuit, and the bigger truth that college football still has no real unified leadership.
