In this episode of the Podcast of Champions hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods are back to talk more Big Ten football. The fellas talk about the sanctions Michigan will face, and then dive into the beyond stupid Big Ten expanded playoff proposal that would include 24 or 28 teams and seven (7) automatic qualifiers from the B1G and SEC. They also talk about the SEC finally moving to nine conference games, something the B1G has wanted to even the playing field at the end of the regular season. The SEC will also require each program to schedule at least one other Power Four program, a policy we feel the Big Ten would also benefit from.

In this episode of the Podcast of Champions hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods are back to (finally) recap Ohio State's victory over Notre Dame in the College Football Playoff. The guys breakdown the game from the impressive 10 minute touchdown drive for the Fighting Irish to start the game, and the even more impressive answer by the Buckeyes who scored four-straight touchdowns to take a 28-7 lead out of the gate. The guys talk about OSU's domination throughout the playoffs, bouncing back after the crushing loss to rival Michigan. At the time there were calls for head coach Ryan Day to be fired, but our Ryan talked about the funniest scenario being the Buckeyes losing to Michigan and then winning the national championship, something that nearly happened two years ago. Well this season it did happen and most of those Ohio State fans that wanted Day fired are now celebrating the team's first title in a decade. Heading into the long offseason, the guys talk about a major coordinator move, with OSU defensive coordinator Jim Knowles signing a record $3.1 million annual contract to become Penn State's new DC.
