B1G Banter

The two powerhouses of College Football have just teamed up. The Avenger-esque partnership between the B1G and the SEC has people, including our hosts, asking questions. What does this mean for the other Power 5 Conferences? Is a New Governing Body on the horizon? Is the NCAA in trouble. Join the boys in their heated debate about an imminent power struggle that may leave some teams and conferences with an "adapt or die" mentality. Also, Michigan and OSU hire new coordinators, and UCLA scrambles to replace Chip Kelly. Everything you need to know about B1G football is right here and right now!

For the first time ever, B1G Banter has a guest host! Grace married Alex for some odd reason, but her knowledge of B1G Football demanded an appearance on the show. This week, our couple breaks down what the SEC-B1G alliance means for the college football world, as well as the recruiting classes for other B1g schools. Listen in for all your B1G news for the week, but stay for the Super Bowl predictions and where we'd go if we were 5 Star QB's.

We've got some replacements in Ann Arbor. Michigan has their man in Sherrone Moore, is it the right hire, safe hire, or both? The boys discuss and also share their way too early B1G power rankings, including our newest friends from the now defunct PAC-12. Listen through and shun Ethan for dogging on the beloved B1G Commercial.

Just days after Michigan's National Championship win, Nick Saban's departure from Alabama sent shockwaves into the College Football world that directly impacts the B1G conference. Just a week after that, Jim Harbaugh says goodbye to Michigan for the NFL, bringing a little bittersweetness to the party. What these moves mean for new conference member Washington and Michigan and how their replacements will fare in the 12-team playoff is discussed by our hosts. Not to be overlooked, Ohio State is MAD, and they are showing it on the recruiting/portal trail. The Buckeyes moves point towards a "Natty or Bust" season, will they be able to pull it off?

As the clock ticks to 0:00 on the 2023 College Football Season, your undefeated, B1G's Own, MICHIGAN WOLVERINES are your National Champion! Our hosts share memories of their favorite sports moments, and where this title ranks for them as fans. The Game itself is also dissected, how did Michigan's defense stand tall against the best offense in College Football, and how Blake Corum and Donovan Edwards once again lead the charge in the Wolverine's ground attack. Is this episode a Victory Lap for the fellas? Maybe. But let's be honest, you'd do the same! Stay tuned to the end of the episode to see who is the winner of our spread picks!

The last game of the College Football season is upon us, and we have a B1G matchup waiting in the wings. Michigan outlasts Alabama in a thriller in Pasadena and Washington survives Texas in the Sugar Bowl, leading up to a matchup between the nation's top offense and defense. The boys are riding high, and will share their thoughts on how the Rose Bowl was won for the Wolverines, and what they need to do to slow down Micheal Penix Jr. and the Huskies. Ethan, Alex, and Corey (with no victory lap in mind) breakdown if something is amiss in Columbus after their loss in the Sugar Bowl against Missouri.

One More for Glory.

It's been a long break for the Wolverines, but their tournament of Roses is finally here! The boys talk CFP and keys to the game for potentially the best matchups we have ever had in the College Football Semifinals. While there are other B1G Schools playing in some NY6 Bowls, they seem to have lost their luster. Ethan, Alex and Corey also share their thoughts on the state of other bowl games, and what they'd do to fix them. Hopefully next week, there will still be one more game to play...

Players and Coaches galore are looking at brand new homes for the 2024 CFP season and the boys are here to break it all down. Hear Ethan, Alex, and Corey discuss whether or not Tom Allen fits the hole left by Manny Diaz at Penn State, as well as the best possible OC candidate at Iowa (hint: if you have a pulse, you're on that list). Also, Dominic Raiola flips his commitment to Nebraska, and also does some poetry in the process; will he see instant success? To top it all off, the boys tell you what each B1G wants for Christmas, and we finally get to pick some BOWL GAMES for everyone's favorite super-conference-to-be. Merry Christmas everyone!

With the Early Portal Period WIDE open, and a new Carousel of Coaches beginning to make its rounds, it's safe to say this week's episode of B1G Banter covers a lot. Our hosts pass out grades for MSU andIndiana's new captains at the helm, as well as discuss potential landing spots for some big names in the portal. You're going to get just about everything this week; Disney Adults and Sacrilege included.

Championship Weekend concludes the way most thought it would, but not the final CFP rankings. Michigan ends up as the #1 Seed, but plays a red hot Alabama instead of Undefeated ACC Champ Florida State. The guys break it all down. Is this Fair? Are the best 4 teams in? What's the reasoning? Where's Paul Finebaum? In the midst of the heated debate, we preview the Rose Bowl, our favorite B1G Bowl Games, and become the most unhinged we've ever been in this week's episode.
