On this episode of Buckeye Talk Stephen Means, Stefan Krajisnik and Andrew Gillis have found the most creative possible way to talk about the Big Ten. We're comparing all 18 teams to fast food restaurants, because why not? It's a fun way to talk a little ball, while getting an idea of the trio's taste buds. This episode gets a little weird, but in the best way possible. It's a pod about football, in a nonsensical fashion, which has always been at the heart of what Buckeye Talk is supposed to be.

Bucky Brooks is joined by former Ohio State linebacker and NBC Sports analyst Joshua Perry to break down top NFL Draft prospects. The conversation centers on quarterback Fernando Mendoza, debating whether he's a true franchise-changing talent or more of a system-dependent game manager who thrives in a run-heavy offense. They discuss the importance of fit, personality, and how Mendoza's game translates to the NFL. The duo also dives into Ohio State standouts, including linebackers Arvell Reese and Sonny Styles, , and safety Caleb Downs, praised for his football IQ and leadership. Wide receiver Carnell Tate is projected as a future impact player, though likely starting as a No. 2 option in the NFL. They also touch on Michigan edge rusher Derrick Moore's power-based pass rush concerns and Nebraska running back Emmett Johnson as an explosive, under-the-radar playmaker with home-run ability.

This week on the Fight for Iowa Podcast, Dolph sits down with the newest voice in the Hawkeye coaching room — Chris Polizzi, Iowa's Special Teams Coordinator. Fresh off earning the role leading one of the most vital (and often game-deciding) phases of football, Polizzi opens up about stepping into his new position for the Hawkeyes and the mindset he brings to the job. With two decades of coaching experience at the collegiate level — including stops at Tulsa, UT-Martin, UCLA, Utah, Western Carolina, Tennessee Tech, and previous roles with Iowa — Chris offers insight into what it takes to coach at the highest levels of college football and how special teams fit into the Hawkeyes' identity.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

If you've ever played video games you know the feeling of powering on Street Fighter or Tekken and getting to choose your fighter before going to battle. It feels like that in the Big 12 and B1G right now. So many options, each with their own strengths (and flaws), but multiple paths towards the same goal. So, in light of the weekend action - which Hartzell and Norlander break down enthusiastically for the first 45 minutes of the show - now might be a good time to lock in and choose your fighter in these two leagues because, buddy, they're absolutely loaded at the top. Special guest Ritchie McKay - the head coach at Liberty - joins the show to talk about what it's like riding a 16-game win streak and looking to stay perfect in CUSA play. Does Norlander even know where the CUSA tournament is? You'll be shocked to know that he does, in fact, not. Coach McKay brings the gas and brags about his veteran team looking to punch back-to-back tickets to the big dance. Monday and Tuesday are jam-packed with some really good basketball, which the fellas touch on before some brief 'Now Spinning' and just like that Norlander is off to Indy for some mid-week hoops and mock selection committee work.

⭐️ Get Your Buckeye Gear ON SALE NOW!!! VISIT TheBuckeyeCast.com https://thebuckeyecast.com/ Ohio State must replace All-American defensive end Caden Curry in 2026 — and the Buckeyes' national championship hopes may depend on how this defensive line reloads. In this episode of the Buckeyes Roster Reset series, we break down: * How Ohio State replaces Caden Curry's 11-sack season * Kenyatta Jackson's expected breakout year * What Alabama transfer Qua Russaw brings to the pass rush * Projected snap counts for every major defensive end * Sack and TFL predictions for Jackson, Russaw, and the young depth * Can five-star freshman Khary Wilder contribute early? * Is the defensive end room deep enough for a CFP run? Ohio State defensive coordinator Matt Patricia will need pressure off the edge in 2026 — especially with a brutal Big Ten schedule ahead. We analyze whether the Buckeyes' defensive line can avoid a drop-off and remain one of the top pass-rushing units in college football. If Ohio State is going to compete for a College Football Playoff berth and another Big Ten title, this position group has to deliver.

Men's Basketball vs UCLA Starts at 0:51 Brian gets three minutes to talk about Mick Cronin, he hopes he never gets fired from UCLA. He's like a jolly caricature of Izzo. He's Sideshow Bob stepping on the rakes. Michigan would be up by 10 in the first half and it would feel like they should be up 20. Tschetter's really improved as a defender but this game wasn't for him. UCLA was turning the ball over a ton, Michigan didn't have any until the end of the first half. This was a responsible game from Cadeau, some of his turnovers have been boneheaded. He's at around the same turnover rate as last year. LJ Cason is becoming a reliably effective playmaker. Mick Cronin might not have forgotten how to coach defense but he might've forgotten to scout Xavier Booker. If they play a bad game that means only winning by 10. 2. Men's Basketball vs Northwestern Starts at 28:10 Similar situation in this game where Michigan played a dominant second half. The difference is they were down 16 points. Kenpom still had them at about 30% chance to win even down 16 in the second half! Michigan missed so many bunnies in this one. They started running NBA sets in their second half rally and that works because they have the size for it. The big story of this game was LJ Cason. Cadeau wasn't doing anything so Dusty put in Cason who stepped up. Who's the most random guy you've ever been thankful for in a game? Probably Kam Chatman. Michigan is rotating nine guys and the ninth guy was the MVP in this game. The six game stretch to finish the regular season features Michigan State as the second easiest game. Alex isn't scared of Purdue. Duke looms. 3. Hot Takes and Hockey vs Penn State Starts at 55:44 Takes hotter than the genius that came up with the two-man luge. Special guest, Seth daughter's Mira. Michigan takes 5 out of 6 points against Penn State, this was their first overtime that they didn't win this year. Michigan made it hard on themselves in the Friday game, Ivankovic sort of deflected a goal into their own net. These officials were fine because they degraded the game of hockey but they weren't as bad as some other guys! Penn State split their goalies but the better goalie gave Michigan a couple easy ones. Michigan has first round picks but the only one that has the sauce is Jayden Perron. You look at men's basketball and you think they could win a national championship. You look at hockey and you don't see it. Wisconsin has faded enough to not make the tournament but their forecheck also seemed like Michigan's kryptonite. If you want to win the conference you need six points against Wisconsin. You might need to win out. Michigan is still 96% to be a 1 seed. 4. Potpourri Starts at 1:38:22 Michigan replaces defensive tackle coach Lou Esposito with Larry Black out of Vanderbilt. He checks the recruiting boxes. He helped get Vanderbilt to respectable on defense which even Jesse Minter couldn't do. His resume is really good and still isn't as good a resume as the rest of the staff (complimentary). Women's basketball fell behind big to UCLA and got it to within one score. They're so close to the elite teams. Stickball! As of this recording baseball is 2-0 against good programs. USC and UCLA baseball hate being in the Big Ten. Softball is 7-2 overall, Alex was down after the Florida game. If you have six pitchers on the roster you have no pitchers. Brian has only watched curling. Olympic skiing discourse. Sweden pulled their goalie while up 5-2 to get the goal differential (did not get it).

Indiana fell to Illinois 71-51 in Champaign in a game that exposed the Hoosiers' ceiling against elite Big Ten competition. After keeping it close for the opening 10 minutes, Illinois pulled away behind their size, depth, and athleticism while Indiana shot just 25% from three-point range and got dominated on the glass (giving up 15 offensive rebounds). Despite Lamar Wilkerson's 21 points and a defensive effort that held Illinois under their season averages, the Hoosiers simply didn't have enough firepower to compete for 40 minutes, dropping to 17-9 overall and 8-7 in Big Ten play.Jerod Morris and Coach Brian Tonsoni (live from State Farm Center) break down the disappointing but revealing loss:How a critical stretch midway through the first half—Conor Enright's bad turnover followed by Tucker DeVries's questionable second foul—triggered a 10-0 Illinois run that Indiana never truly recovered fromWhy Indiana's defensive game plan actually worked (holding Illinois to 71 points, 22% from three) but the math problem broke down when the Hoosiers couldn't hit open shots to capitalizeThe roster depth disparity on full display—Illinois had "more guys who could do more things" while Indiana's bench managed just five points (a Josiah Miles three and two Reed Bailey free throws)Lamar Wilkerson manufacturing 21 points without many clean looks, continuing to prove he's a complete scorer beyond just catch-and-shoot while teammates struggled around himWhat the offensive rebounding massacre (15 for Illinois, 4 for Indiana) reveals about the physical limitations of this roster against elite size and athleticismTayton Conerway's continued absence and regression raising concerns about depth heading into the final stretchWhy this loss shows Indiana's ceiling—good enough to beat peer-level teams but not equipped to compete with Final Four-caliber rosters like Illinois, Michigan, and Michigan State for full gamesPlus, as always: the big moments you might have missed, stats that stood out, and our game ball and hustle award.This episode brought to you by the Back Home Network and Homefield Apparel.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Welcome to another episode of Forklift Systems Football Saturday This conversation delves into the evolving landscape of college football, focusing on the impact of the transfer portal, NIL, coaching strategies, and the potential role of artificial intelligence in enhancing team performance. The discussion also touches on the NCAA's eligibility regulations and the future of college football playoffs, highlighting the need for clear guidelines and the implications of expansion. The conversation delves into the evolving landscape of college sports, focusing on legal challenges, the Big Ten's proposal for a 24-team playoff, the implications of NIL, and the role of political leadership in shaping NCAA policies.

coach is joined by reporter Charles Davis to discuss the evolving landscape of college athletics, specifically focusing on the Big Ten's "24-team compromise" playoff proposal and the legal complexities of student-athlete eligibility. The proposal outlines a shift toward a 24-team field by 2029, which would eliminate conference championship games—labeled as "artificial"—and introduce an additional weekend of on-campus playoff games to reward the top 16 seeds. They also examine the significant revenue implications, noting that while the expansion could create 23 total playoff games and a "March Madness" atmosphere for football, it requires a solution for the financial loss conferences would face by removing their title games. The conversation then shifts to the recent legal battle involving Charles Bediako, a former Alabama basketball player whose attempt to return to college from the professional G League was recently blocked by a court ruling. Charles highlights the "havoc" created by the NCAA's inconsistent eligibility practices, noting that while over 100 players with professional experience have been granted eligibility, Bediako was denied a preliminary injunction because he had already forfeited his status to go pro. This case serves as a broader example of the ongoing discord within the NCAA, as leaders like President Charlie Baker call for congressional intervention to establish clear, stable frameworks for athlete eligibility in the era of NIL and the transfer portal.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Dedeaux Download podcast, part of the Peristyle Podcast family of shows, returns with the 2026 college baseball beginning Friday. Shotgun Spratling and Kasey Kazliner continue with the third and final episode in the three-part season preview, leading up to the start of the 2026 USC baseball season. In the finale of the season preview series, USC head coach Andy Stankiewicz joins the Dedeaux Download to talk about where the Trojans stand heading into Opening Day Friday against Stankiewicz' alma mater, Pepperdine. He discusses how several returners are going to have to take a step forward to replace many of the team's top performers off last year's NCAA tournament team.

Former Nebraska AD, Bill Moos, has released a 697 page memoir titled Crab Creek Chronicles: From the Wheat Fields to the Ball Fields and Beyond. In it are some very interesting takeaways about his time at Nebraska. Andy Staples, Ross Dellenger and Steven Godfrey discuss some of the more notable stories he shares. The most notable, and surprising, story is about Moos' regret of Nebraska joining the Big Ten conference and his interest in leaving the Big Ten to return to the Big 12. That, of course, did not end up happening. Moos also shares how he was forced into hiring Scott Frost even though he did not think he was right for the job. The guys share their opinions and takeaways from these, and other, stories from the book.Then, Andy, Ross and Godfrey go from looking at the past to looking into the future. The Pac-12 Conference is back and they have released their 2026 schedule. The most notable part is the unique approach to their Week 13 games. The conference currently only has eight football teams. That means there are only seven games to be held during an eight-game conference schedule. The Pac-12's unique approach for the eighth game, in Week 13, is the creation of a flex week. There are currently four games scheduled, with home teams being already designated, but the conference is reserving the right to swap opponents up to six days before the matchup. They are saying they will choose the matchups based off of what is best for the conference. Presumably this means creating the most advantageous schedule for a potential CFP bid. The guys discuss the impact of this and what the ripple effects could be. What would this look like in other conferences, and could this potentially change the landscape of college football scheduling?Later, Ross shares the latest update in the world of revenue sharing. He discusses his most recent article about how programs are far exceeding the revenue share cap and what the "real" rev-share cap is for the top programs. Andy and Godfrey join in as they react to the new world of revenue sharing, that may be far more expensive than people realize, and they all discuss how this is going to continue to evolve going forward.Get caught up on all things college football with College Football Enquirer.0:00:00 - Former Nebraska AD tells all28:29 - Pac-12's unique flex-week schedule42:48 - How schools are far exceeding the rev-share cap Subscribe to the College Football Enquirer on your favorite podcast app:
