The Big Ten West is entering its final season as we know it before USC and UCLA join the Big Ten in 2024 and change the conference and college football.

With the ACC Coastal and Pac-12 South already gone as weaker college football divisions, and with Georgia strengthening the SEC East, the Big Ten West this season is the last of a dying breed -- a weak division that has a chance to give the winner a backdoor to a college football playoff berth.

On this episode, Doug Lesmerises lays out that case, and then talks to three experts about three programs in transition in the Big Ten West:

Where are the Badgers and Cornhuskers (with new head coaches) and the Hawkeyes (maybe with a head coach on the way out) right now heading into the 2023 season after spring football?

And where will those programs be once the Big Ten changes in 2024?
