The Big Ten is thriving so far this postseason. With a couple of exceptions, the SEC is wilting. And what of the coaching carousel? Did the Big Ten club the SEC there, too? You could make that case. LSU scored the big fish by securing Lane Kiffin. Mostly, though, SEC schools hired promising but largely unproven up and comers, while Big Ten schools like Michigan and Penn State landed veteran winners with solid resumes. On today's episode, hosts Blake Toppmeyer and John Adams evaluate which conference did it better in this hiring cycle. They also debate which conference has the more complete roster of coaches. And they discuss which SEC schools would have been well-served by hiring Kyle Whittingham, who wound up at Michigan. Later in the episode, the hosts unpack the College Football Playoff quarterfinal matchups, including what's at stake for Kalen DeBoer in Alabama-Indiana and whether Mississippi plays with house money in a rematch with Georgia.

Braden Gall sits down with longtime Big Ten and Ohio State reporter Doug Lesmerises. We break down Miami's shot at an upset, Indiana's chance at winning the whole thing, what makes the new tournament special and Oregon's balance. We preview the four College Football Playoff quarterfinal match-ups.

Welcome back to Hardcore Penn State Football, the premier podcast delivering raw analysis, exclusive breakdowns, and unfiltered passion for everything Nittany Lions! In this post-holiday special – recorded December 29, 2025 – hosts Shawn Kane & Cory Lestochi celebrate the end of a turbulent 2025 season while looking ahead to the Matt Campbell rebuild. Fresh off a gritty bowl win, we're dissecting the victory over Clemson, the blockbuster hire of D'Anton Lynn as defensive coordinator, the impending transfer portal opening, and answering your fan questions. From on-field heroics to offseason strategy, this episode is your roadmap to PSU's 2026 resurgence in the Big Ten. Despite a sloppy, error-filled game on both sides, PSU (finishing 7-6) dominated with a stout defense and timely plays, holding the Tigers (also 7-6) to just one touchdown. We discuss interim coaching impacts, fan reactions in the Bronx cold, and how this win provides closure to the James Franklin era while boosting morale for Campbell's takeover. Big news from Happy Valley – Matt Campbell has landed USC's D'Anton Lynn as PSU's new DC! The former Nittany Lion letterman (a standout player in the early 2010s) is returning home after two successful seasons transforming USC's defense. Shawn dives into Lynn's coaching pedigree – son of NFL coach Anthony Lynn, with stints at UCLA and the Ravens – and why his aggressive, player-development-focused schemes are a perfect fit for PSU's talent-laden unit. We explore the pursuit (Franklin chased him last offseason), contract buzz, and potential staff additions like Rob Ryan. The offseason heats up as the NCAA's new singular winter transfer portal window officially opens this Friday, January 2, 2026, running through January 16! With the spring window eliminated starting this cycle, this 15-day frenzy is make-or-break for roster building. Our hosts preview PSU's strategy under Campbell: Targeting QBs, OL reinforcements, and defensive depth to fill gaps from graduations and NFL declarations. We discuss early announcements (players can signal intent now), NIL implications, and rivals' moves. Cory warns of potential outgoing transfers like underutilized backups, while Shawn spotlights portal gems that could flip the script for 2026. You asked, we deliver! In our extended mailbag, we tackle your top queries from social media and email – What does Lynn's hire mean for the scheme? Who's PSU's top portal target? Bowl MVP debates? And more.

Rick talks to Wisconsin Badger football legend, Montee Ball this week. After a record-breaking high school career, Ball had a stellar career for the Badgers. In 2011, Ball was named First-team All-American by Yahoo Sports. He was one of five finalists for the Heisman Trophy. He finished fourth in the voting, with 348 points (22-1st place, 83-2nd place and 116-3rd place points). Ball’s fourth-place finish was the highest in Wisconsin history for a non-winner of the award, until Wisconsin running back Melvin Gordon finished second behind Oregon Ducks quarterback Marcus Mariota in 2014. He was joined by teammate Russell Wilson, who also received votes. On January 2, 2012, Ball scored his 39th touchdown of the season, tying him with Barry Sanders for most touchdowns in a single FBS season. He finished the season with a NCAA-leading 1,923 rushing yards and 33 rushing touchdowns, while adding 24 receptions for 306 receiving yards and six touchdowns. In 2012, Ball scored three rushing touchdowns against Purdue, giving Ball a career total of 72 touchdowns. This broke the Big Ten record and the Wisconsin record of 71 held by former Badgers running back Ron Dayne. He also ran for a career-high of 247 yards against the Boilermakers. On November 24, 2012, Ball became the FBS career record holder for total touchdowns when he scored his 79th touchdown on a 17-yard run against Penn State. Ball won the Doak Walker Award, given to the nation’s top running back. Ball became the second Badger to win the award. Ron Dayne won the award in 1999. He was named as a Consensus All-American. On New Year’s Day, 2013, Ball became the first player in Rose Bowl Game history to score a touchdown in three straight years.[39] Overall, he finished the season with 1,830 rushing yards and 22 rushing touchdowns. NCAA single season records Most touchdowns, season: 39 tied (2011) Most consecutive games with two or more touchdowns: 13 (2011) Most points scored by non-kicker: 236 (2011) Big Ten single season records Most touchdowns: 39 (2011) Wisconsin single season records Most touchdowns: 39 (2011) Most rushing touchdowns: 33 (2011)

Hour one of DJ & PK for December 30, 2025: Recapping the night in sports Utah Mammoth game recap Yogi Roth, College Football Analyst

Shotgun Spratling and Chris Trevino return behind the microphones for another episode of the Helium Boys Podcast, a serious non-serious USC football podcast. The Helium Boys are back to preview the Trojans' bowl game matchup against TCU in San Antonio and look at a wide array of college football, and USC-specific, topics after USC and Notre Dame mutually announced the discontinuation of their rivalry and high-profile Big Ten programs hired big-time coaches. The episode opens with the Helium Boys staple 'Two-Minute Drill' that features Shotgun railing on both Notre Dame and USC for not being able to come to a resolution that would have resulted in the continuation of their 100-year old rivalry that has previously taken a global war or global pandemic to keep it from being played. The podcasters then dive into the bevy of comments left on Spotify, answering questions and then ultimately having the randomizer select a winner for a Trader Joes gift card. They then jump into a number of news items since the last Helium Boys episode, including the possibility of USC having to look for a new defensive coordinator soon. They also look at the continuously evolving 2026 roster, discussing the latest transfer portal losses, NFL departures, re-signings announced by USC and the last group of players that have not had their future endeavors revealed After a break, the podcasters dive into a preview of the Alamo Bowl matchup against the Christian Horned Frogs of Texas, including the key storylines, players and matchups before predicting why the Trojans will win and why they will lose. The podcast duo also answer your mailbag questions discussing trench play, Biletnikoff statistics and the most memorable moments of the 2025 season. After some 'Take It or Leave It' questions for Shotgun, the episode concludes with Chris and Shotgun ranking the Pop Tarts that were participants in the People's National Championship that is also known at the Pop Tarts Bowl.

Fox Sports' Joel Klatt joins The Next Round for a deep dive into college football and the latest College Football Playoff storylines. We start with one of the biggest questions of the postseason: Would Alabama beating Indiana be a big upset? And are the Hoosiers getting enough respect from Alabama fans heading into this marquee matchup? Joel also breaks down whether Ole Miss can hang with a red-hot Georgia team, what Marcus Freeman's return to Notre Dame means nationally, and the ripple effects of Michigan hiring Kyle Whittingham. Plus, we preview another intriguing playoff matchups featuring Ohio State and Miami and Texas Tech facing Oregon, and Klatt explains what to watch for when those styles collide. If you're locked into CFB Playoff analysis, SEC and Big Ten talk, and national perspective from one of the top voices in the sport, this episode is for you.

Kyle Whittingham Reaction Starts at :51 Brian can't make fun of the name "Kyle" anymore. Woah, Alex Drain is here! Did Kyle Whittingham get pushed out of Utah? He's 66 but could probably beat up several members of the current team, he doesn't feel too old. This might be the best guy to hit the ground running with Bryce Underwood. He's had a 20+ year stretch of success and it's mostly over-performing expectations statistically. Are there concerns about the way this would translate to Michigan? Utah folks are asking if we're prepared for limited media availability, a coach who can sound like a jerk, and a 300 lbs fullback. Yes, yes we are. Kyle Whittingham's risk for scandal seems extremely low. How many coaches in the Big Ten would you pick over him? His dad's nickname was "Mad Dog". A brief history of his success over his coaching career, which included two PAC-12 Championships. Kyle lets his QB run the ball, Bryce's output this season would've been the worst for Utah going back at least a decade. Harbaugh had a great hit rate on sleeper recruits, Whittingham should as well. He has some very Harbaugh-adjacent quotes as well. What's your letter grade for the hire? [The rest of the writeup and the player after THE JUMP]  2. Assistants Starts at 42:48 The new staff is coming together pretty quickly. Jason Beck is lining up to be the offensive coordinator, coming in from Utah. Alex details his history as a coach which was mostly as an offensive coordinator and QB coach. He likes hybrid players and will love the tight end room. Jay Hill is lined up from BYU as defensive coordinator, BYU fans are not thrilled that he's leaving. He took a 100ish ranked defense and turned it into a top 25 defense. He also made Weber State a powerhouse while he was there. He'll play more man-defense than we're used to which might not be what we want against Ohio State. Jay Hill could also be a head coach in waiting down the road. It feels like the defense is going to be coached again. Jason Beck could be a QB coach but there are rumors that Koy Detmer Jr could come in as an analyst/QB coach. All signs point to Tony Alford being retained. Ron Bellamy will probably stick around, they still need a Michigan guy and he might be the most "Michigan Guy" on staff. Freddie Whittingham could likely come in at tight ends coach, he is not a nepotism hire. He could also be a recruiting coordinator guy if you want to keep Grant Newsome around. Jim Harding could be the offensive line coach coming out of Utah. Lewis Powell might be coming in as defensive ends coach out of Utah. Lou Esposito might stay at Michigan. Linebackers coach is the one area where we haven't heard anything. Whittingham has mentioned going after a coach that is still in the playoffs. Jernaro Gilford might follow Jay Hill as the defensive backs coach. LaMar Morgan is a good recruiter so maybe you keep him. What about Special Teams coach? Time to move on from Kerry Coombs already? How would you grade these potential hires?  3. Hot Takes and The Search, Revisited Starts at 1:38:48 Takes hotter than the Utah message boards. It was a wild ride getting from DeBoer, Fisch, or Dillingham to here. A lot of information was coming from agents getting names out there. A lot of people said "Biff Poggi could get the job" and it was never going to happen. Did Michigan really never go and try to offer Dillingham a job? It feels like his people really hyped him up. We might be having a very different conversation if that Oklahoma receiver would've just caught that ball. Everyone penciled in Dillingham after the Oklahoma Alabama game and then he signs an extension. Whittingham was unemployed, he probably didn't have agents hyping him up. Brian still likes Jeff Brohm. Interestingly Penn State never went after Whittingham but once the Michigan job opened up he said he was "in the transfer portal." Why was Biff Poggi on that podcast? He was shooting his shot for a job but it was never going to happen. How well did the "insiders" do and how clued in will they be on the new staff.  4. Michigan Football vs Texas Starts at 2:18:38 Oh yeah Michigan has a bowl game. The only opt-outs are El-Hadi, Derrick Moore, and Barham (and Ernest Hausmann). Maybe it's a good sign that a lot of players still want to play in this? Six of 11 defensive starters are sitting out for Texas, most of their offense is playing. Michigan's best hope is to watch Arch Manning turf five-yard outs. I guess we'll see Wink walk off the field as a Michigan coach for the last time. This feels like a zombie team right now. Does Michigan have a way to stop Ryan Wingo? The Ohio State game feels like four years ago. Are you excited for this game? A lot of big-name guys have at least remained in the recruiting class. The hope of the Sherrone era was "hopefully he just gets better at coaching" and it's a relief to just move on. What was the most enjoyable game of the Sherrone era? Not the highlight, but the most fun beginning-to-end? A lot of things about the last two to three years make a lot more sense now. A lot of paranoia and worry feels lifted, there are adults in charge.  MUSIC: "Medium Machine"—Sports Team "Inept Apollo"—Nation of Language "Where'd You Go"—Horsegirl “Across 110th Street”—JJ Johnson and his Orchestra   

The Husker Doc Talk Podcast wraps up the year with a festive, wide-ranging post-Christmas episode that blends holiday humor, sponsor shoutouts, and deep college football analysis—exactly what Husker fans have come to expect from Travis Justice and Dr. Rob Zatechka. The episode starts off lighthearted, and then the conversation turns serious with an in-depth breakdown of one of the biggest coaching stories of the season: Kyle Whittingham's stunning move from Utah to Michigan. Travis and Dr. Rob examine the timing of the decision, the rumored friction with Utah's administration, and what it means for Utah's bowl preparation. They also debate whether Whittingham's departure removes emotional fuel—or creates new motivation—for the Utes as they prepare to face Nebraska. The discussion naturally pivots to Nebraska football and the upcoming bowl game in Las Vegas. With key players opting out and a new coaching staff still settling in, expectations are tempered. Dr. Rob explains why this bowl game should be viewed through a developmental lens rather than a win-or-else moment, outlining Nebraska's current roster gaps, particularly along the offensive and defensive lines. The two also explore how the transfer portal and NIL have reshaped roster construction—and why player evaluation and development matter more than ever. Quarterback play, portal strategy, and long-term program building dominate the second half of the episode, including a thoughtful debate about Nebraska's future at QB and whether stability might be more valuable than chasing a one-year rental. The episode closes with a broader look at college football's shifting power structure, comparing development-first programs like Iowa with big-money NIL schools, and questioning whether the Big 12 can truly keep pace with the Big Ten and SEC. It's a candid, thoughtful, and entertaining year-end conversation—equal parts football breakdown, industry insight, and holiday camaraderie—making Episode 23 a perfect way to close out 2025 on the Husker Doc Talk Podcast.

Welcome back to Hardcore Penn State Football, your no-holds-barred hub for expert breakdowns, behind-the-scenes scoops, and unapologetic opinions on the Nittany Lions! In this timely episode – dropping just after Christmas on December 26, 2025 – hosts Cory Lestochi and Shawn Kane tackle the latest twists in Happy Valley as the Matt Campbell era takes shape. With the Pinstripe Bowl looming, we're covering the stinging loss of DL coach Deion Barnes to South Carolina, the surging 2026 recruiting class hitting nine commits, and how PSU is gearing up for a showdown with Clemson. From staff shakeups to future stars and bowl game strategies, this episode delivers the intel you need to stay ahead of the curve in Big Ten football. Ouch – another hit to the coaching staff! We start with the breaking news that defensive line coach Deion Barnes, a PSU alum and rising star in coaching circles, is bolting for South Carolina to join Shane Beamer's staff as their new DL coach and co-defensive coordinator. Barnes, who played a key role in developing beasts like Chop Robinson and Adisa Isaac, leaves a void after just a few seasons in Happy Valley. Recruiting is heating up under Campbell! After a rocky start with decommits following the coaching change, PSU has clawed back to nine verbal commitments in the 2026 class. Can Penn State get to 15 commits? Penn State takes on Clemson, Saturday, December 27th in Yankee Stadium. A matchup everyone at the beginning of the season thought could be for a National Championship, is now set for a meaningless bowl game. How will the team prepare? Coach Terry Smith leads the team one more time as interim head coach. If you're amped for the bowl and the Campbell rebuild, LIKE, SUBSCRIBE, and ring the bell for instant updates!

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.splitzoneduo.comAlex and Richard spend 23 minutes talking about Michigan's holiday hiring of former Utah coach Kyle Whittingham:* In a time of intense national focus on the age of people in leadership positions (hmm, wonder where that came from), the 66-year-old Whittingham is unusually old to be taking this job. We wouldn't worry.* Whittingham's recruiting at Utah became a pressure point that may have contributed to him leaving. How much does that matter as he moves to a job with a built-in financial advantage?* Whittingham has been coaching Big Ten teams in the Pac-12 and Big 12 for years. What does he need to do differently in the ACTUAL Big Ten?

In this episode of the Podcast of Champions hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods are back to discuss the Oregon Ducks taking care of business against James Madison, advancing in the College Football Playoffs and putting three Big Ten programs into the quarterfinals.

The guys look ahead to the rest of the Big Ten bowl games, previewing each of them and giving their picks against the spread. Northwestern, Minnesota, Penn State, Illinois, USC, Iowa, Michigan & Nebraska are all in action before the calendar turns to 2026.
