George Wrighster welcomes Andy Staples and Ari Wasserman to the Unafraid Show for a college football conversation covering Deion Sanders' future at Colorado, Lincoln Riley's struggles at USC, the Heisman Trophy race, and the biggest Week 7 matchups.

Colorado's struggles have raised serious questions about Coach Prime's recruiting strategy. Can Deion Sanders rebuild the Buffaloes without consistently recruiting high school talent, or has the transfer portal approach reached its limits?

Meanwhile, USC is facing Penn State as an underdog despite Penn State's own struggles. Andy Staples and Ari Wasserman explain why the betting line might be telling college football fans something they're overlooking.

The conversation also turns into a heated Heisman debate. Is Jeremiah Smith the best player in college football? Are Malachi Toney and Jesse Legree being evaluated fairly? And should Heisman voters care about the school a player attends?

Plus, the guys discuss the Big Ten's potential 24-team College Football Playoff, Indiana's scheduling controversy, and the biggest games of the weekend.

George Wrighster breaks down the biggest college football matchups on the schedule, starting with the Red River Rivalry and what Texas vs. Oklahoma means for Arch Manning, Steve Sarkisian and Brent Venables. Oregon is officially on upset alert against a dangerous UCLA team, while Indiana vs. Nebraska gives both programs a chance to prove they belong among college football's contenders.

George releases his People's Top 25 with Alabama at No. 1 and UCLA inside the Top 10, then looks at the AP Poll and Bill Connelly's SP+ rankings to show how dramatically college football changes when preseason expectations and reputation are removed from the equation. Bryan Driskell of Irish Breakdown joins the show to discuss why Notre Dame is receiving so little national attention, CJ Carr, the Fighting Irish defense, Notre Dame's schedule and whether Marcus Freeman's team could beat the best programs in the SEC.

Plus: LSU vs. Kentucky, Texas A&M vs. Missouri, UCF vs. Oklahoma State and more from another huge weekend of college football.
