]]> Buzzsprout (https://www.buzzsprout.com) College Football, Football, Gospel, Faith, Sports George Schroeder & Friends https://storage.buzzsprout.com/bfpg6ss8fjg3si4r3m84xj1rurd1?.jpg Gridiron & The Gospel http://gridironandthegospel.com/ Brad Edwards George Schroeder Breaking Down the Preseason Coaches' Poll Breaking Down the Preseason Coaches' Poll The 2025 preseason coaches poll is out, and it instantly raises the biggest question in college football: is the SEC still the deepest league, or has the Big Ten already passed it by? George Schroeder and Todd Unzicker break down the rankings, the playoff implications, and the teams that could rise or fall before September even arrives.

Ohio State and Oregon sit at No. 1 and No. 2, Georgia remains a constant at the top, and Texas is drawing massive expectations again. But this conversation goes deeper than the usual preseason chatter. George and Todd weigh whether Arch Manning hype was unfair last year, why Indiana’s staying power is suddenly real, and how Clemson can land at No. 23 after a 7-6 season. They also dig into Tennessee, Missouri, Notre Dame, Oklahoma, Alabama, and why some of these rankings already feel fragile.

The guys cover:

  • why the new SEC nine-game schedule could reshape the College Football Playoff race
  • how the transfer portal and NIL may be erasing the SEC’s old edge
  • which top-10 teams look the most vulnerable right now
  • why SMU, Virginia Tech, BYU, and Texas Tech are lurking as dangerous sleepers
  • what LSU’s massive Lane Kiffin gamble could mean in year one

George and Todd also preview some of the season’s most revealing early tests, including Oregon at Oklahoma State, LSU at Ole Miss, and the brutal schedules facing Texas, Indiana, and Georgia. If you care about who is really built to survive the chaos of a 12-team playoff era, this episode makes the case before the games even kick off.

They also share a surprisingly fun story from Akron, where fans can literally win the chance to call the opening drive with head coach Joe Moorhead, a promotion that has already moved tickets and stirred up rival fan bases. It is one of those off-the-wall college football moments that perfectly captures why the sport is so great.

Then the episode shifts into a powerful faith segment from Luke 5, where George unpacks Jesus calling Peter from fishing for fish to fishing for people. Todd adds a compelling reflection on awe, evangelism, and total surrender, making this a meaningful listen whether you came for football, faith, or both.

George Schroeder is a pastor and co-host of Gridiron and the Gospel, known for connecting college football conversation with clear, practical Christian teaching.

Todd Unzicker is George’s co-host, bringing thoughtful football analysis and faith-driven insight throughout the episode.
