In this episode of the Podcast of Champions hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods are shifting gears from season previews to season predictions with both hosts picking each and every game for all 18 Big Ten teams. They guys share which programs they feel will make the conference championship game, which teams have a legit shot at making the playoffs, which can make a bowl game and which will likely struggle in the newly expanded conference.
With week one of the season now upon us, Ryan and Dave will continue their tradition of previewing and picking each and every game against the spread. Typically in week one of Pac-12 play they would pick 11 or 12 games, but this year there are 18 Big Ten games on the slate, from Thursday to Sunday, so the guys will have a lot of games to preview.

In this episode of the Podcast of Champions hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods are continuing their Big Ten season previews with Purdue, Northwestern and Michigan State
First up we welcome back Bill Bender from the Sporting News to talk about a pair of Big Ten programs, the Northwestern Wildcats and Purdue Boilermakers.
David Braun took over a Northwestern's program that was in disarray last season but surprised everyone by winning 8 games and Big Ten Coach of the Year. He will try to improve on that mark in 2024 with a tougher schedule and most home games on Martin Field while Ryan Field is rebuilt over the next two seasons.
Ryan Walters is also heading into year two of his Purdue tenure and is looking to move the program forward after a 4-8 campaign in 2023.
Next we welcome in Stephen Brooks from SpartanTailgate to talk about the major disruption this Spartans program went through after the abrupt firing of Mel Tucker followed by hiring away Jonathan Smith from Oregon State. We talk about numerous MSU football topics including star transfer quarterback Aidan Chiles, rebuilding the Michigan State offensive line, replacing Derrick Harmon and Simeon Barrow Jr. at defensive tackle and who can step up at wide receiver.

In this episode of the Podcast of Champions hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods are continuing their Big Ten season previews with Penn State and Iowa.
First up Daniel Gallen from Lions247 joins the show to talk about what head coach James Franklin has planned for the 2024 college football season and if this Penn State program can finally get over the hump and make an appearance in the now expanded College Football Playoffs. We'll talk about some of the major changes to the roster, bringing in a pair of new coordinators and the progress of quarterback Drew Allar.
Next we welcome in David Eickholt from HawkeyeInsider to talk about how head coach Kirk Ferentz plans to improve Iowa's offense that was one of the worst in FBS last season. The Hawkeyes have been exceptional on defense and special teams, but the limitations on offense have prevented Iowa from achieving anything beyond winning the Big Ten West. Even with divisions eliminated, Iowa's schedule is still very manageable and another appearance in the conference championship game is within reach if the offense can turn things around.

In this episode of the Podcast of Champions hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods are continuing their Big Ten season previews with Nebraska and Maryland.
First up Brian Christopherson from Huskers247 joins the show to talk about what head coach Matt Rhule has been up to this off-season as he tries to turn things around for the Huskers with their first bowl bid since the 2016 season. The biggest addition to the roster was five-star quarterback Dylan Raiola and all eyes will be on the freshman to see if he can get Big Red back to national relevance once again.
Next we welcome in Jeff Ermann from InsideMDSports to talk about the job head coach Mike Locksley has done in College Park since taking over in 2019. Locksley is coming off three-straight bowl-winning seasons but he has never had a campaign with fewer than five losses (non-Covid years). The Terps were picked to finish 11th in the now 18-team Big Ten, mostly because they need to replace the all-time Big Ten passing leader in Taulia Tagovailoa.

In this episode of the Podcast of Champions hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods are in studio for the official launch of the new version of the POC, where we shift from covering Pac-12 football (RIP) to covering Big Ten football. Dave and Ryan will now focus on this new super conference, with former Pac-12 programs Oregon, Washington, UCLA and USC joining the 14 existing Big Ten schools.
Even though Ryan and Dave are the foremost authorities on all things B1G, they are bringing special guest Bill Bender from the Sporting News to spread more Legends and Leaders knowledge as we head into Big Ten media days next week. Bill will discuss some of the major storylines from the off-season including rule changes, the coaching carousel, roster turnover, high profile matchups on the schedule and the overall integration of the Pac-4 into the Big Ten culture.
