Lincoln Riley has no more excuses. George Wrighster breaks down Ohio State vs USC, Notre Dame's College Football Playoff pressure and why Miami's schedule deserves the same scrutiny.

On The Unafraid Show, the college football home of Dirty Mo Media, George explains why Ohio State–USC is his “most to lose” game and picks the Buckeyes to win by double digits. Can USC finally deliver when the pressure is highest?

Plus: Carson Palmer to USC, RG3's interest in Baylor and the Philip Rivers–NC State discussion. George weighs the risks of hiring a famous former quarterback and what schools need to provide for those coaches to succeed.

Oregon's quarterback decision puts Akili Smith Jr. in the spotlight ahead of Northwestern. Indiana's offense faces another test against Minnesota, Ole Miss needs its defense to help Trinidad Chambliss, and Miami goes on upset alert against North Carolina.

George also shares his Florida–Georgia rivalry story from his Jacksonville Jaguars days, makes his weekend picks, reveals his Top 25 and calls out the AP poll ballots that caught his attention.
