Podcasts about big ten

In this college football podcast episode, we close out our three-part 2026 Big Ten preview with nine more teams and some of the conference's most difficult projections. USC has the offense, talent and expectations of a College Football Playoff contender, but can Lincoln Riley's team survive a relentless schedule while Gary Patterson rebuilds the defense? The conversation gets especially spirited when we turn to the new eras at Penn State and Michigan. How quickly can Matt Campbell blend his Iowa State imports with the roster he inherited? Does Kyle Whittingham give Michigan an immediate coaching upgrade, and what will his staff unlock in Bryce Underwood? Along the way, we debate the talent level at Penn State, the offensive identities taking shape in Ann Arbor and State College, and whether either team can navigate a season filled with major swing games and playoff-level pressure. We also dig into Bob Chesney's ambitious UCLA rebuild, the possibility of Illinois being overlooked, Minnesota's search for offensive pop, Maryland's attempt to give Malik Washington more help, and the upside and limitations of the new coaching staffs at Michigan State and Northwestern. Plus: Dan's Penn State slander, a save-the-date for the Minnesota Support Zoom, the return of Charles Chip Kelly, and a troubling sign from College Football 27.Support the show!: https://www.patreon.com/solidverbalSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today we are joined by Hawkeye Insider/247Sports reporter Elliot Clough, who shares his path from running track (including walking on at Iowa Central and UNI) and doing campus media to a grind through freelance writing, play-by-play, radio DJ work, and multiple layoffs before landing full-time at 247. They discuss balancing fandom and objectivity in sports media, then shift to Iowa football as fall camp begins: quarterback play, wide receiver improvements (including Tony Diaz), offensive line configuration questions (especially at center), portal impact players like Diaz, LJ Phillips, and Tyler Brown, and a hot take that Cam Buffington could become Iowa's second-best defensive player. Elliot predicts Iowa's record relative to the 7.5 win total thrown out by sportsbooks with most of the prediction revolving around a brutal early Big Ten stretch (Michigan, Ohio State, Washington).

In this edition of the Peristyle Podcast hosts Ryan Abraham and RJ Abeytia are back in studio talking about USC kicking off fall camp practices as the team gets ready for the highly anticipated 2026 college football season. With a fully open practice on Saturday and then two more opportunities to see the Trojans on Tuesday and Wednesday morning, Ryan and RJ give their thoughts on how the team is looking this first week of fall camp.Around 40 players and coaches were available on Monday for USC's preseason media day and the guys discuss what everyone had to say about their preparation for the season. Lincoln Riley spoke after Tuesday's workout and he shared details about the team's roster size and how the new five years to play five seasons rule is a positive development for the Trojans, especially considering the huge freshman class that is now available to play every game.The guys also discuss the revival of the USC vs. Notre Dame series, with four games scheduled from 2030 to 2033. The Trojans wanted the games moved to early in the season to accommodate the travel of the Big Ten conference schedule and the Irish wanted to keep the game in October/November. When both sides couldn't come to an agreement, the series was paused and now we know it will be a four year hiatus before this storied rivalry gets going again.The preseason Coaches Poll was released this week and USC came in at No. 14 behind three Big Ten opponents, Ohio State (1), Oregon (2) and Indiana (6), all three of which face the Trojans this season. USC will also face No. 17 Penn State and No. 19 Washington.Please review, rate and subscribe to the Peristyle Podcast on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Apple Podcasts⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Spotify⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠!Make sure you check out ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠USCFootball.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ for complete coverage of this USC Trojan football team.

Connor and Mike react to some baseball headlines regarding the Field of Dreams game. We blast the SEC honks for doubling down on false reports regarding the Big Ten.

-CBS Sports ranks David Braun as the worst coach in the B1G conference and the 58 th best coach in college football as a whole—keep in mind,he has the same overall record as Matt Rhule at Nebraska (19-19), and Rhule sits at 11 th in the league (37 th in country)-Rhule didn't inherit a 1-win team like Braun did and also wasn't thrust into the head coach position a month before the season like Braun…whythe disrespect for the man in purple?Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

The Chicago Cubs continue their incredible stretch by completing a series sweep of the Los Angeles Dodgers, raising even more questions about whether they're the team to beat in the National League.

Illinois basketball received concerning news as sophomore star David Mirkovic underwent successful surgery on his left foot after suffering an injury during a recent team workout. The guys discuss what the injury means for the Illini heading into the 2026-27 season, early reports suggesting a 6-to-8 week recovery timeline, and why Illinois still expects Mirkovic to make a full recovery before the season gets underway. They also break down how Brad Underwood could adjust if Mirkovic misses additional time and which players may be asked to step into larger roles. Later, Ravi Lulla joins the show to discuss the biggest headlines coming out of the Big Ten as fall camp ramps up. The conversation includes which conference contenders are generating the most buzz, what to make of preseason expectations around the league, and a look at several head coaches who could find themselves on the hot seat if their teams underperform in 2026.

Sam McKewon talks about his top takeaways from Husker football media day, why Anthony Colandrea isn't likely to lapse into a long monologue, the value of TJ Lateef talking with the press and where NU - and its opponents - landed in the coaches preseason top 25. Which one of the eight Big Ten teams inside the Top 25 shouldn't be ranked?

The Indiana Hoosiers shake up college football by canceling their highly anticipated non-conference series with Notre Dame, fueling controversy over scheduling strategies and national title ambitions. Can Indiana's “easy schedule” formula really stand up against critics, especially when other top-ranked teams like Texas and Ohio State play non-conference games against each other? Jacob Goins and Brian Smith tackle the fallout from the Notre Dame cancellation, the backlash from SEC and Notre Dame fans, and what the Protect College Sports Act could mean for transfer portal-heavy programs like Indiana. Recruiting momentum surges with 5-star receiver Monchon Sales and top-5 2028 quarterback Lukas Prock, but will upcoming NCAA rule changes force the Hoosiers to deepen their focus–and their NIL–on high school prospects? Dive in for analysis of Indiana's roster strategy, the evolving landscape of Big Ten football, and why retention, not just talent, could decide the program's future.

The Protect College Sports Act threatens to upend transfer portal-driven programs—will Indiana, Louisville, and Arizona State recover if key roster-building options dwindle? Brian Smith breaks down how the PCSA's proposed one-time immediate eligibility transfer rule could force Big Ten and Big 12 teams like Nebraska and Texas Tech to shift away from portal-heavy rebuilding, favoring recruiting powerhouses such as Clemson, Georgia, Ohio State, and Notre Dame. Can the likes of Indiana upgrade their high school recruiting quickly enough, or will SEC and B10 giants extend their dominance? Recruiting trends, transfer limitations, and team-by-team impacts take center stage as Brian Smith analyzes head coaches' adaptability, key historical portal movers like Bear Alexander, and the potential resurgence of programs like Clemson. Also featured: the preseason top 10 poll, the Big 12's looming challenges, and a lively chat on NIL contract strategies. Will this legislation reshape college football's balance of power for good?

In this college football podcast episode, we continue our three-part 2026 Big Ten preview with a closer look at nine teams, beginning with the three programs most likely to determine the conference championship. Oregon has assembled another loaded roster, but is this finally the year Dan Lanning’s program gets over the hump? Can Ohio State maintain its defensive standard while building a new offensive identity under Arthur Smith? And how successfully can defending national champion Indiana reload around Josh Hoover and a wave of transfer portal additions? We make our Big Ten championship predictions and examine the questions that could separate Oregon, Ohio State and Indiana once the College Football Playoff race begins. Then we turn toward the conference’s crowded middle. Is Iowa’s favorable schedule enough to overcome another uncertain quarterback situation? Can Washington’s promising but unproven roster deliver against better competition? And what happens when Nebraska pairs the unpredictable Anthony Colandrea with Dana Holgorsen? We also discuss the stakes surrounding Luke Fickell at Wisconsin, Greg Schiano’s attempt to rebuild the Rutgers defense and Purdue’s difficult path toward meaningful progress. Plus: a spirited disagreement over Iowa, a possible resurgences for the RVO offense, suspicious Rutgers sandwich spots, the official installation of Ty as Chief Colandrea Officer, and more.Support the show!: https://www.patreon.com/solidverbalSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Galen Clavio, Scott Caulfield, and Ryan Phillips jump on CrimsonCast for a quick-hit conversation about the end of Indiana's future football series with Notre Dame and the return of USC-Notre Dame.The episode looks at why the story became such a national talking point, why Indiana football has become a convenient target for broader frustrations about college football scheduling, and whether the criticism lines up with what the College Football Playoff actually rewards. Galen and Scott discuss why the Hoosiers' Big Ten schedule already gives them plenty of major games, while Ryan adds perspective on the USC side of the Notre Dame rivalry and why that series came back together.They also get into Curt Cignetti's scheduling philosophy, the weirdness of games being booked almost a decade in advance, Notre Dame's independence, Big Ten and SEC leverage, and why Indiana's status as defending national champion changes the conversation. The old version of IU needed marquee non-conference games for attention. This version can make other programs come to Bloomington.

In this college football podcast episode, we open our three-part 2026 Big Ten preview by zooming out before diving into the individual team breakdowns. The conference has produced the last three national champions, enters the season with another wave of major coaching and coordinator changes, and features a surprising number of familiar quarterbacks. We sort all 18 Big Ten teams into contender tiers and ask whether Ohio State, Oregon and defending national champion Indiana have separated from the field. Is USC talented enough to overcome its schedule and lingering defensive questions? Could Penn State, Michigan, Washington or Iowa emerge as the conference’s fourth College Football Playoff team? And how much faith should we place in new systems, new play callers and transfer quarterbacks across the league? We also work through the crowded middle of the conference, where favorable schedules, volatile quarterbacks and major rebuilds make almost every projection feel negotiable. Plus: Sweet Lady Schedule, the Big Ten’s overarching theme of faith, Bob Chesney’s elite hairline, a renewed commitment to the Minnesota Support Zoom, and a fun announcement about the show's place in the college football media sphere.
