Podcast of Champions - Big Ten Football Podcast

In this episode of the Podcast of Champions hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods recap all 13 Big Ten week three games, reveal their newest Big Ten Power rankings, discuss how their picks against the spread went (Ryan was 6-4, David 5-5) and update their mythical Pac-12 Power Rankings. They also talk about the latest news in the conference realignment world where the Pac-12 is raiding the Mountain West, taking San Diego State, Fresno State, Boise State and Colorado State in an attempt to rebuild the once proud Conference of Champions. There were a lot more blowouts this week than what we have seen so far this season, some that were good for the conference and some that were bad. The Ducks pasted Oregon State on the road while Minnesota, Nebraska and Michigan State won by a combined score of 101-3 against overmatched opponents. But in more important games Wisconsin wasn't competitive against Alabama, Notre Dame spanked Purdue 66-7, Washington State topped the Huskies in the Apple Cup and Michigan struggled to beat Arkansas State in the Big House. Maryland did bounce back with a nice win on the road at Virginia and Indiana continues to impress, humiliating UCLA in the Rose Bowl for both team's Big Ten openers.

There were some crazy results across this conference this weekend and overall it certainly wasn't as a good of a showing as the B1G had in the opening weekend. On the good side Ohio State, Indiana, USC and Minnesota won by a combined score of 229-3 and all four covered the spread plus Illinois upset No. 19 Kansas and Nebraska crushed Prime and CU. On the bad side Michigan got rolled by Texas, Iowa lost to rival Iowa State, Duke handled Northwestern in 2OT and Oregon needed a last-second field goal to beat Boise State. The guys give their thoughts on each and every game from the weekend and praise the teams that handled their business while panning the teams that failed to meet our high expectations as Big Ten football experts.

With week one of the season now upon us, Ryan and Dave will continue their tradition of previewing and picking each and every game against the spread. Typically in week one of Pac-12 play they would pick 11 or 12 games, but this year there are 18 Big Ten games on the slate, from Thursday to Sunday, so the guys will have a lot of games to preview.

In this episode of the Podcast of Champions hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods are continuing their Big Ten season previews with Purdue, Northwestern and Michigan State First up we welcome back Bill Bender from the Sporting News to talk about a pair of Big Ten programs, the Northwestern Wildcats and Purdue Boilermakers. David Braun took over a Northwestern's program that was in disarray last season but surprised everyone by winning 8 games and Big Ten Coach of the Year. He will try to improve on that mark in 2024 with a tougher schedule and most home games on Martin Field while Ryan Field is rebuilt over the next two seasons. Ryan Walters is also heading into year two of his Purdue tenure and is looking to move the program forward after a 4-8 campaign in 2023. Next we welcome in Stephen Brooks from SpartanTailgate to talk about the major disruption this Spartans program went through after the abrupt firing of Mel Tucker followed by hiring away Jonathan Smith from Oregon State. We talk about numerous MSU football topics including star transfer quarterback Aidan Chiles, rebuilding the Michigan State offensive line, replacing Derrick Harmon and Simeon Barrow Jr. at defensive tackle and who can step up at wide receiver.

In this episode of the Podcast of Champions hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods are continuing their Big Ten season previews with Penn State and Iowa. First up Daniel Gallen from Lions247 joins the show to talk about what head coach James Franklin has planned for the 2024 college football season and if this Penn State program can finally get over the hump and make an appearance in the now expanded College Football Playoffs. We'll talk about some of the major changes to the roster, bringing in a pair of new coordinators and the progress of quarterback Drew Allar. Next we welcome in David Eickholt from HawkeyeInsider to talk about how head coach Kirk Ferentz plans to improve Iowa's offense that was one of the worst in FBS last season. The Hawkeyes have been exceptional on defense and special teams, but the limitations on offense have prevented Iowa from achieving anything beyond winning the Big Ten West. Even with divisions eliminated, Iowa's schedule is still very manageable and another appearance in the conference championship game is within reach if the offense can turn things around.

In this episode of the Podcast of Champions hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods are continuing their Big Ten season previews with Nebraska and Maryland. First up Brian Christopherson from Huskers247 joins the show to talk about what head coach Matt Rhule has been up to this off-season as he tries to turn things around for the Huskers with their first bowl bid since the 2016 season. The biggest addition to the roster was five-star quarterback Dylan Raiola and all eyes will be on the freshman to see if he can get Big Red back to national relevance once again. Next we welcome in Jeff Ermann from InsideMDSports to talk about the job head coach Mike Locksley has done in College Park since taking over in 2019. Locksley is coming off three-straight bowl-winning seasons but he has never had a campaign with fewer than five losses (non-Covid years). The Terps were picked to finish 11th in the now 18-team Big Ten, mostly because they need to replace the all-time Big Ten passing leader in Taulia Tagovailoa.

In this episode of the Podcast of Champions hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods are in studio talking about the latest development in the conference realignment craziness, with UCLA forced to pay rival Cal $10 million a year for three years in "Calimony," taking a chunk out of the Bruins Big Ten media rights windfall. On Tuesday the UC Board of Regents adopted the Calimony proposal to help the Golden Bears' athletic department after the Bruins left the Pac-12 for greener pastures. UC system president Michael Drake originally recommended the $10 million per year amount last week and intended to extend those payments through 2030. Following the vote they (thankfully for UCLA) scaled back the payments to just three years with the possibility to revisit the decision at that time. The guys also have made a decision about the future of the podcast with the Conference of Champions holding on through its final weeks of existence.

In this episode of the Podcast of Champions hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods are in studio finishing up their deep-dive into all of the former Pac-12 football programs, talking about how the USC Trojans and UCLA Bruins finished up their respective spring football sessions. On the USC side, head coach Lincoln Riley had to figure out a way to replace Heisman Trophy winner Caleb Williams and fix a defense that was one of the worst in the Power Five the past two seasons. Ryan talks about how Miller Moss looked and if the defensive staff changes, including former UCLA defensive coordinator D'Anton Lynn, will be enough to make that defense respectable again. For UCLA new head coach DeShaun Foster got his first chance to coach up his guys in Westwood, bringing some excitement to a fanbase that was starved for attention by the former regime. Dave talks about what this new-look Bruin team accomplished this spring and how active Foster was in the transfer portal.

In this episode of the Podcast of Champions hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods are in studio and joined remotely by the Oregon Ducks football expert Matt Prehm from DuckTerritory.com, talking about Oregon's spring football game that happened over the weekend, how active the Ducks have been in the NCAA Transfer Portal, the move to the Big Ten, the battle to replace Bo Nix and how Oregon players did in the NFL Draft. Of the four teams moving from the Pac-12 to the Big Ten, the Ducks appear to be in the best position to succeed with a stacked roster and stable coaching staff. The guys talk about Oregon's chances to take that next step and what potential moves Dan Lanning could make to compete with the blueblood programs in the B1G. The guys also talk about how the conference set a record with 43 Pac-12 players drafted plus Michael Penix's bizarre situation in Atlanta.

Coming off a run to the national championship game, Washington is in rebuilding mode after losing its head coach, athletic director and a Heisman Trophy finalist quarterback. Fetters talks about how that transition from Kalen DeBoer to Fisch has been and why there is optimism in Seattle that UW can have a strong first season in the B1G. The guys also discuss the new NCAA ruling that allows programs to help broker NIL deals for players (though schools are still not directly paying players) and officially declares the new two member Pac-12 in this two-year grace period as no longer an autonomous five conference.

With the breakup of the Conference of Champions, Oregon State and Washington State were left trying to put the pieces back together, forming a two-team conference under the Pac-12 banner during the two year NCAA grace period.
