Podcast of Champions - Big Ten Football Podcast

In this episode of the Podcast of Champions hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods are back in studio previewing a full slate of week 12 games in the Pac-12 that features two separate ranked-on-ranked matchups, two rivalry games, three teams trying to keep bowl eligibility alive, one Friday night game and no Pac-12 After Dark contests on Saturday night.

The headline matchup is the last game of the day, featuring No. 5 Washington in Corvallis to take on No. 11 Oregon State at 4:30pm on ABC. The other contest featuring two ranked teams is No. 22 Utah on the road taking on No. 17 Arizona in Tucson.

Week 12 gets going Friday night with Colorado taking on Washington State in Pullman and both the Buffs and Cougs need a win to keep their (slim) opportunity to play in the post season alive. Both USC and UCLA have faltered late in the season but something will have to give when the Trojans and the Bruins face off in the Coliseum at 12:30. No. 6 Oregon will head to the desert to take on their former offensive coordinator Kenny Dillingham and ASU. The final rivalry game, what they like to call Big Game, features 3-7 Stanford hosting 4-6 Cal at 3:30 on Pac-12 Networks.

The guys also discuss the latest on the Pac-2 lawsuit with Oregon State and Washington State winning a key court battle and reportedly setting up a scheduling agreement with the Mountain West for the next two seasons. Plus the report from BRO that UCLA head coach Chip Kelly will likely be fired after the season.

As usual Ryan and Dave end the podcast answering listener emails and questions from the YouTube chat.

In this episode of the Podcast of Champions hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods are back in studio recapping what was a full slate of week 11 games in the Pac-12 that featured Washington's comeback home win against Utah, Oregon taking care of USC in Autzen and Arizona State's huge upset of UCLA in the Rose Bowl.

The guys start off the show talking about the breaking news that Arizona State athletic director Ray Anderson has resigned and the Sun Devils will look for a new AD to lead the athletic program into the Big 12. Anderson shouldn't have been hired in the first place and the fact that he lasted for a decade is baffling, but ASU does have a young, up and coming head coach in Kenny Dillingham and he could use a similar AD to help the transition to the new conference and navigate the changing landscape around college football.

Washington moved to 10-0 on the season after shutting down Utah in the second half in Seattle. Oregon got 400 passing yards from Bo Nix as they took care of business against USC in Eugene. Arizona got a scare on Boulder but held on to take care of Colorado thanks to a 10-0 run in the fourth quarter. UCLA couldn't find its offense while Arizona State utilized the swinging gate to keep the Bruins off balance en route to their 17-7 upset in the Rose Bowl. Washington State outplayed Cal in Berkeley but turnovers sunk the Cougars hopes of breaking their now 6-game losing streak. And Oregon State absolutely pasted Stanford 62-17 in Corvallis.

The guys recap all of the action and reveal their latest Pac-12 Power rankings.

In this episode of the Podcast of Champions hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods are back in studio recapping what was a full slate of week 10 games in the Pac-12 that featured Washington putting up over 50 points on USC in the Coliseum to keep their undefeated season and playoff hopes alive. Oregon, Utah and Arizona also made statements with decisive wins while Oregon State survived a trip to Boulder and Stanford notched another road win against a struggling Cougars squad.

The guys recap all of the action and reveal their latest Pac-12 Power rankings.

Just before the show went live the news broke that USC defensive coordinator Alex Grinch was fired by Lincoln Riley. Dave and Ryan give their reaction to the news right at the top of the show.

The featured game of the day did not showcase a lot of defense and ended up being a fun duel between Heisman Trophy candidates Caleb Williams and Michael Penix with plenty of run game support including Dillon Johnson's 256 yards rushing and four touchdowns. The Ducks are playing the best football in the Pac-12 and throttled California in Eugene, Utah bounced back from their rough week by dismantling Arizona State, the Wildcats suffocated UCLA in Tucson with Gronk cheering U of A on, Colorado's offense didn't improve with a coordinator change and Oregon State held on for a win in Boulder and Stanford goes to Pullman and squeaked out a win against a struggling WSU squad.

In this episode of the Podcast of Champions hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods are back in studio recapping what was a full slate of week 9 games in the Pac-12 that featured a blowout between title contenders, a pair of wins for the desert schools against Pacific Northwest teams, another near upset for Stanford over the undefeated Huskies and 99 points scored in Berkeley.

The featured game of Oregon at Utah didn't live up to the hype, with the Ducks blowing the doors off the Utes, not even allowing them to score a touchdown in the 35-6 win. Cal built a 14-point lead in the fourth quarter over USC but the Golden Bears four turnovers and failed two-point try at the end gave the Trojans a 50-49 victory. Stanford gave Washington all it could handle on the Farm but the Huskies escaped with a 42-33 victory over the Cardinal. UCLA got off to a slow start that included four first half turnovers against Colorado and eventually the Bruins held on for a 28-16 victory over the Buffaloes. Home underdog Arizona State played well for 60 minutes and took care of business against Washington State, 38-27. In the nightcap Arizona, another home underdog, played toe-to-toe with Oregon State and came out on top, 27-24.

The guys recap all of the action and reveal their latest Pac-12 Power rankings.

In this episode of the Podcast of Champions hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods are back in studio previewing a stacked week 9 of Pac-12 football that features six games, all on Saturday.

The action gets started with the 12:30 game on FOX with No. 8 Oregon travelling to Salt Lake City to take on No. 13 Utah. The Utes are coming off a huge road win against USC and would love nothing more than to crush the College Football Playoff hopes of another program bound for the Big Ten.

Speaking of the Trojans, at 1pm on Pac-12 Network they will play a Cal squad coming off a bye week up in Berkeley. Both teams desperately need a win in the last matchup (at least for a while) of this longstanding rivalry.

The next window starts at 4 on FS1 with No. 5 Washington hits the road to take on Stanford. The Cardinal were just curb stomped by UCLA but also had that huge comeback against Colorado a couple weeks back. The Huskies are coming off a narrow home win over ASU where they didn't score an offensive touchdown.

At 4:30 on ABC Colorado will try to regroup from their epic collapse against Stanford and take on No. 24 UCLA in the Rose Bowl. Coach Prime had a bye week to try and get things right but they face a Bruins squad that is playing great defense and found an answer at quarterback.

Then at 5 Pac-2 member Washington State heads to Tempe to take on one-win Arizona State on Pac-12 Networks. The Sun Devils fought hard on the road but again fell short while the Cougars played better in their loss to Oregon.

The Pac-12 After Dark Game has the other Pac-2 member No. 11 Oregon State taking on Arizona in Tucson at 7:30 on ESPN. Both teams are playing at a high level right now so this should be a must-watch nightcap for Pac-12 football fans.

The guys will preview all of the games and make their picks against the spread.

In this episode of the Podcast of Champions hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods are back in studio previewing a big week eight of Pac-12 football with games that could help continue to separate the contenders and the pretenders.

The action gets started on Saturday afternoon with Jake Dickert and Dan Lanning each looking to rebound as the Washington State Cougars head on the road to No. 9 Oregon. Oregon needs a win here to stay in contention for the Pac-12 title.

The marquee matchup on Saturday features the No. 14 Utah Utes playing at the No. 18 USC Trojans. Can the Utes continue to figure out how to make chicken salad out of whatever is available on offense? Can USC rebound after a blowout at Notre Dame?

In NorCal, all eyes will be on the No. 25 UCLA Bruins, who will look to rebound after a tough road loss against Oregon State in their matchup with Stanford. Stanford, meanwhile, is coming off a dramatic double-overtime road win against Colorado. Patsy no more?

Finally, No. 5 Washington will play host to Arizona State, which is coming off a bye week after playing competitive football in its last two games. Can the Sun Devils cover the spread, and put some fear into the Huskies?

The guys will preview all of the games and make their picks against the spread.
