Week 14 college football is pure chaos for the College Football Playoff, and the coaching carousel is spinning just as fast – headlined by Lane Kiffin reportedly bolting the Ole Miss Football for the LSU Tigers. In this live reaction George Wrighster reacts to how the ripple effects will hit jobs, recruiting, and NIL at places like the Florida Gators, Arkansas Razorbacks, UCLA Bruins and Penn State football. From there, George dives into the week 14 CFB games that will define the CFP picture and wonders if the Texas Longhorns have done enough to make the CFP: the Alabama Crimson Tide vs Auburn Tigers in the Iron Bowl, Oregon Ducks vs Washington Huskies in a Big Ten heavyweight clash, Georgia Bulldogs vs Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets, Oklahoma Sooners vs LSU Tigers, Notre Dame Fighting Irish vs Stanford, and Texas Tech Football vs West Virginia Mountaineers. He breaks down which contenders like Texas football, Notre Dame football, Utah Utes, BYU, and others vie for the final spots helped their playoff résumé, which ones choked under pressure, and how the committee is going to juggle all these results on Selection Sunday and the Big Ten, Big 12, ACC, and SEC conference championship games. Throughout the live show, George ties the on-field chaos to the off-field moves: how Lane Kiffin to LSU changes the identity of the Tigers, what Alex Golesh could bring if he lands at Auburn football, why Jon Sumrall leaving the Tulane Green Wave for the Florida Gators Football would shake up recruiting in the South, and how Ryan Silverfield jumping from the Memphis Tigers to the Razorbacks would play in the SEC West. He keeps an eye on open situations with the Bruins and Nittany Lions, asking who’s bold enough to go big-game hunting and who will panic-hire the wrong name. This is a fully interactive live reaction — you’ll get instant thoughts on momentum swings, controversial calls, Heisman moments, and the future of the biggest brands in the Big Ten, SEC, Big 12 and ACC. Tap in, hit the chat and answer the real questions: Which Week 14 result did the most damage to the playoff race, and which coaching move is about to blow up in a school’s face?
