Today in history, Talkin' Ball with Bill Bender, Quick Hitters: Dodgers land Skubal, OSU's biggest trap game, Aaron Donald's inevitable return & Curt Cignetti bought a bigger gun, the Big Ten & SEC throw their support behind the Protect College Sports Act, Kyle Whittingham says there's no room for hate in the OSU-Michigan rivalry, Jimmy Haslam says take the over on Browns wins this season, and Ray Knight loves his '86 NYM teammates.
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.

In this episode, we finish our Big 12 preview with the conference’s final eight teams: Utah, Houston, TCU, Arizona, Arizona State, Oklahoma State, UCF and Cincinnati. This preview features plenty of teams on the cusp of a breakthrough or a frustrating step backward. We start with Utah’s transition from Kyle Whittingham to Morgan Scalley and ask how much of the program’s familiar identity can survive a major staff and roster reset. From there, we dig into Houston’s contender case, TCU’s new quarterback and offensive coordinator, Arizona’s attempt to build on last year’s rebound, and Arizona State’s high-variance setup around a talented but unsettled offense. Then, Ty makes the full-throated case for an Oklahoma State revival under Eric Morris and Drew Mestemaker, while Dan tries to keep expectations somewhere near Earth. We also break down whether UCF can make the Year 2 jump under Scott Frost and whether Cincinnati can survive massive turnover by leaning on one of the Big 12’s best offensive lines. Plus: Wile E. Coyote branches, short quarterbacks, soufflé assembly and an impromptu summer tennis preview.

The Big Ten enters 2026 after winning three consecutive national championships with Michigan, Ohio State and Indiana—and Oregon may be positioned to make it four champions in four years.Gary Segars previews all 18 programs, starting with the three-team championship tier. Oregon has the conference's most complete roster around Dante Moore, an experienced defense and a manageable schedule. Ohio State may possess the highest ceiling with Julian Sayin and Jeremiah Smith, but the Buckeyes face significant defensive turnover and a brutal path. Indiana must replace a Heisman Trophy quarterback and major championship production, yet Curt Cignetti's transfer-portal record keeps the Hoosiers firmly in contention.The dark-horse tier includes USC, Michigan, Penn State and Washington. USC has the offensive talent to disrupt the race if Gary Patterson repairs the defense. Michigan begins a fascinating new era with Kyle Whittingham and Bryce Underwood, while Penn State undergoes a near-total program transplant under Matt Campbell. Demond Williams gives Washington upset potential against anyone.The episode also ranks the conference's bowl-level teams and rebuilds, evaluates the best quarterbacks and units, analyzes schedule advantages and travel disadvantages, and identifies the games most likely to determine the Big Ten Championship.The final predictions include a rematch title game, the surprise team, the potential disappointment and betting analysis involving Oregon, Wisconsin, Iowa, UCLA, Penn State and USC.
The Michigan Wolverines face NCAA scrutiny as Ward Manuel's leadership places Ann Arbor's powerhouse in the crosshairs. Fallout from the Harbaugh scandal and delayed action on the Sherrone Moore situation leaves Michigan vulnerable to potential sanctions and mounting media pressure. Will a leadership shakeup derail the program, or can new head coach Kyle Whittingham steady the ship with his seasoned approach and experience in high-stakes environments? The conversation explores how distractions from an impending AD change could impact Michigan's performance—especially with Oklahoma looming in Week 2—and whether the influx of top recruits like Carter Meadows and Alister Vallejo can help keep the focus on the gridiron and not the newspapers. Key questions arise around Kyle Whittingham's ability to navigate media scrutiny, maintain focus, and shape the next wave of Michigan talent. Will Michigan's recruiting class remain strong amid uncertainty, and can the Wolverines maintain their competitive edge under the NCAA spotlight? Support us by supporting our sponsors!

Kyle Whittingham's former player says Underwood can't throw and can't play quarterback
The 2026 college football season is getting closer, and this batch of power-rated teams has some massive betting and playoff questions. BYU, Utah, Iowa, Texas Tech, and Washington all have real upside — but every one of them has a major flaw that could change the season.On today's Winning Cures Everything college football preview, we break down teams ranked #20 through #16 in my 2026 preseason power ratings. BYU is no longer a cute Big 12 surprise story with Bear Bachmeier and LJ Martin returning, but defensive coordinator turnover and a tough road schedule could make things tricky. Utah enters the Morgan Scalley era after Kyle Whittingham's departure, with a rebuilt offensive line and a schedule that still gives the Utes a real Big 12 title path.We also dig into Iowa's massive reload under Kirk Ferentz, including quarterback questions, offensive line turnover, Phil Parker's defense, and whether the Hawkeyes can still win ugly. Texas Tech may have the Big 12's best roster, but Brendan Sorsby's eligibility situation and defensive losses create one of the biggest storylines in the conference. Finally, Washington has a star quarterback in Demond Williams Jr., but the Huskies still have to prove they can handle Big Ten heavyweights.If you're looking for 2026 college football previews, Big 12 predictions, Big Ten betting analysis, win total picks, and playoff dark horse breakdowns, this episode is for you.Subscribe to Winning Cures Everything, hit the like button, and drop your thoughts in the comments.0:00 Intro0:50 BYU10:17 Utah18:53 Iowa28:48 Texas Tech38:58 Washington
We’re midway through May, which means it’s time to start talking ourselves into, and out of, what the 2026 college football season could become. In this episode, we turn the month itself into a game with a Big Ten “Mayyyyybe” vibe check, asking which scenarios feel realistic, which ones feel like offseason nonsense, and which ones might look strangely prescient by November. Could Ohio State’s schedule create a real College Football Playoff problem? Is Maryland quietly positioned to take a step forward? Can Wisconsin stabilize things for Luke Fickell, Iowa mess around with a playoff run, or UCLA become one of the more interesting teams in the conference under Bob Chesney? We also dig into Oregon’s internal coordinator hires, Michigan’s tricky first year under Kyle Whittingham, and USC’s unlucky, unforgiving schedule. Along the way, there are schedule sandwiches, quarterback questions, offensive line concerns, coaching crush rankings, a surprising amount of hernia talk, and more.

Bill Connelly from ESPN.com stops by to walk us through the post-spring college football landscape, fresh off turning in 7,000 words on the MAC and kicking off his annual conference preview series. We get into how the portal era has transformed his prep work, why the SEC has become a "horizontal" conference of strong middles, and which conferences are hardest to make sense of right now. Bill evaluates the Big 12 after the Brendan Sorsby news, talks up a few mid-major teams to watch, and explains why he still doesn't fully trust Texas the way the rest of the country does. We also dig into the Bob Chesney's roster build at UCLA, Oklahoma State's full offensive transfusion, Lane Kiffin's quarterback insurance policy, and what to make of the pairing of Bryce Underwood and Kyle Whittingham in Ann Arbor. Bill also shares his Alabama skepticism, his read on Indiana's encore, and why he's increasingly intrigued by Texas A&M. And, to close things out, a little World Cup talk in advance of this summer's tournament.
