Скачать или смотреть CFB Apostles: Big Ten Schedules Are a JOKE, CFB Changing Targeting Rules, Cignetti is a Demon

College football, Indiana football, Curt Cignetti, the Big Ten schedule, Miami football, and the targeting rule are all on the table in this episode of the College Football Apostles Podcast with George Wrighster and Ralph Amsden. The biggest question: what does Indiana winning a national championship actually mean for the rest of college football—and why is it a blessing for some programs but a burden for others? George explains how Indiana’s run creates real hope that any team can rise fast… but it also turns an outlier into an expectation and puts coaches, ADs, and fanbases on the hottest seat imaginable.

Next up, the guys dig into the Big Ten football schedule and call out the “layup win” problem. USC football being the only Big Ten team with two bye weeks sparks a bigger debate about who has the toughest road in 2026, and why Indiana football and Nebraska football ended up with such friendly slates. George goes off on schedules that avoid real Power Four matchups—because if you’re a fan, you should want more big games, not fewer.

Then Ralph walks George through the backlash to George’s way-too-early Top 25, especially from Miami Hurricanes fans, and they judge which criticisms are fair and which are just emotional. (Spoiler: Miami’s ranking depends on what’s actually official at quarterback.)

Finally, targeting is back in the spotlight after reporting from Ross Dellenger, and George breaks down the physics of why some targeting calls don’t match reality—and why college football needs a better system (think tiers) instead of treating every hit like the same crime. And yes… the show takes the scenic route into Bill Belichick/North Carolina football and a legendary Costco + Chipotle debate.
