In this episode of the Podcast of Champions hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods are back in studio previewing an extremely important week seven of Pac-12 football with games that could separate the contenders and the pretenders.

The action gets started on Friday night with Coach Prime looking to improve the Buffaloes to 5-2 as Colorado hosts the reeling Stanford Cardinal. Could Troy Taylor and company shock the world and pick up their first conference win of the season in Boulder?

The marquee matchup on Saturday features the No. 8 Oregon Ducks playing at the No. 7 Washington Huskies with ESPN's College Gameday making an appearance in Seattle. It's Michael Penix vs. Bo Nix with the winner having the inside track to make the Pac-12 Championship game plus have a leg up in the race for the Heisman Trophy.

In a game that doesn't impact the conference race but could give the Pac-12 a boost in the fight to make the College Football Playoffs, No. 10 USC is on the road taking on No. 21 Notre Dame. If Caleb Williams can come away with a victory, it keeps the Trojans in the top-10 and gives the entire Pac-12 another huge out of conference victory.

In Salt Lake City all eyes will be on the Utah Utes and specifically if quarterback Cam Rising finally plays after the bye week. California and is resurgent offense pays a visit facing an extremely tough task, a stout Utah defense in Rice-Eccles Stadium.

No. 19 Washington State returns home and tries to get a bounce-back victory with Arizona coming to Pullman. Both teams played in LA last week where the Cougars offense fell apart in the Rose Bowl and the Wildcats nearly pulled off the upset, losing in triple overtime in the Coliseum.

The #Pac12AfterDark game has two more ranked teams facing each other with No. 18 UCLA heading to Pacific Northwest to face No. 15 Oregon State. The Bruins could have the best defense in the conference but winning against a hot DJU in Corvallis will be a tough task.

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 recapping a slow week six in the Pac-12 with Oregon, Washington, Utah and Stanford on bye weeks and no ranked-on-ranked matchups taking place. 

Despite the lack of intrigue going into the weekend, there were some exciting finishes and results from all of the week six games, starting with a dominating defensive performance by the UCLA Bruins. Arguably no team was hotter than the Washington State Cougars but that hot streak ended Saturday in the Rose Bowl. Chip Kelly's squad isn't lighting up the scoreboard quite yet, but the defense is for real as Cam Ward and the Cougs found out.

Coach Prime wasn't happy with the effort but his Buffs were able to go into Tempe and get the win against their future Big 12 foe Arizona State. Oregon State's defense took a few hits from California but the Beavers were able to push their record to 5-1 by hanging 50 on the Fighting Justin Wilcox's. The craziest game of the weekend came with three-touchdown favorite USC needing triple overtime and some untimely Jedd Fisch poor decisions to take care of Arizona in the Coliseum.

The guys will recap all of the games, reveal their new Pac-12 Power Rankings and how their picks against the spread worked out for week six.

In this episode of the Podcast of Champions hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods are back in studio previewing what looks like an underwhelming week of Pac-12 football with Oregon, Washington, Utah and Stanford on bye weeks and no ranked-on-ranked matchups on the schedule.

The most intriguing game will happen at the historic Rose Bowl with Washington State facing off against UCLA with both teams coming off a bye week. The Cougars are fresh off their impressive home victory over Oregon State while the Bruins are trying to bounce back from their less than impressive offensive performance in Salt Lake City against Utah.

Colorado will hit the road and try to bounce back from two-straight losses when they head to Tempe to take on a struggling Arizona State squad. Oregon State will test their ability to play on the road when they head south to take on California. Arizona nearly upset Washington at home and now they head to Los Angeles to try and upset the USC Trojans.

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

In this episode of the Podcast of Champions hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods are back in studio to recap all of the exciting action that was week five of Pac-12 football that featured a Friday night ranked-on-ranked matchup in Corvallis and a couple of near upset bids over a couple of conference favorites.

The Conference of Champions slate of games got off to a great start Friday night when Utah hit the road to take on Oregon State. The Beavers bounced back nicely from their loss in Pullman and took care of the Utes 21-7. For the second week in a row Utah only managed 7 offensive points and while they did a nice job of shutting down OSU's ground game, their inability to offense was too much to overcome in the newly renovated and vibrant Reser Stadium.

There were three near upsets to discuss with Colorado giving USC all it could handle in Boulder, Arizona falling just short against Washington in Tucson and Arizona State blowing a chance to get a road win at California. Oregon looked like they were on upset alert for the first 20 minutes or so before rattling off 42-straight points in their blowout of Stanford on The Farm.

The guys recap all of the games, talk about their rough weekend picking against the spread 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 to preview all of the week five action of Pac-12 football with 10 teams in action and UCLA and Washington State on bye weekends.

The action gets started on Friday night with yet another ranked-on-ranked game with No. 10 ranked Utah heading to Corvallis to face No. 19 Oregon State.

On Saturday Big Noon Kickoff once again features the Colorado Buffaloes who are hosting the No. 8 ranked USC Trojans. After that Arizona State will try and bounce back without quarterback Drew Pyne and win a road game against California. The red hot No. 9 Oregon Ducks travel south down the 5 freeway and take on the Stanford Cardinal on the Farm. Then the nightcap should be a great one in the desert with No. 7 Washington going to Tucson to face Arizona.

For each game the guys give a preview and of course make their picks against the spread. On the season both Dave and Ryan are 20-13 picking Pac-12 games against the spread.

In this episode of the Podcast of Champions hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods are back in studio recapping the first weekend of Pac-12 conference play that included three matchups of ranked teams playing ranked teams including Oregon hosting Colorado, UCLA at Utah and Washington State facing Oregon State in Pullman.

The home teams won each of the three ranked matchups and went 4-2 overall (and both home underdogs covered the spread).

The guys recap all of the action including Lan Danning sending a message to the Coach Prime hype train, Washington State edging OSU in the Pac-2 Championship, Utah topping UCLA in a rock fight, Washington scoring all the points on Cal, Arizona surviving a trip to The Farm and USC escaping the desert with a win.

They also reveal their latest Pac-12 Power Rankings, talk about the latest AP Poll that includes three top-10 Pac-12 teams and look forward to what should be an exciting week five in the Conference of Champions.

In this episode of the Podcast of Champions hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods are back in studio recapping what was a less than interesting week of Pac-12 football where the Conference of Champions finished 9-2 in out of conference play. The guys also preview the first week of full conference games that includes three ranked Pac-12 matchups.

With USC on a bye week, the remaining seven ranked Pac-12 programs won their contests including a closer than expected double-OT thriller in Boulder, a Washington waxing in East Lansing and the Ducks drubbing Hawaii in Eugene. The big news came from the bottom of the conference where Arizona State got skunked by Fresno State and Stanford lost to Troy Taylor's old squad Sacramento State. Obviously, the Sun Devils and the Cardinal occupy the basement in our Pac-12 Power Rankings.

Now that the majority of out of conference play is in the books, it's time for the cream to rise to the top with Pac-12 conference play! This week No. 19 Colorado is on the road taking on No. 10 Oregon, No. 22 UCLA heads to Salt Lake City to take on No. 11 Utah and in a Pac-2 preview No. 14 Oregon State is on the road at No. 21 Washington State.

The guys preview all of the Pac-12 action 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 all of the Pac-12 action from week three of the 2023 college football season. It was another strong showing for the Conference of Champions last week with a 7-3 out of conference record including four wins against Power Five opposition. This weekend isn't nearly as exciting with several FCS opponents on the schedule, but 7 of the 8 ranked Pac-12 teams will be taking the field trying to make the final season a memorable one.

The most intriguing matchup involves the No. 8 ranked Washington Huskies on the road taking on future Big Ten opponent Michigan State with head coach Mel Tucker suspended without pay.

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 another strong performance by the Pac-12 in the non-conference schedule with some huge wins over major brands and now a record eight programs from the Conference of Champions ranked in the latest AP Poll.

Saturday morning things started off great for the Pac-12 with Colorado's resounding win over Nebraska at home and Utah surviving their road trip to Baylor. Later in the day Washington rolled, Oregon squeaked by Texas Tech on the road and Arizona looked sloppy at Mississippi State, falling in overtime for the conference's first loss of the season.

Washington State posted the most impressive win for the Pac-12 beating Wisconsin at home, UCLA rolled on the road against Pac-12 killer San Diego State and Oregon State had no problems with FCS UC Davis for the grand opening of the renovated Reser Stadium.

Pac-12 After Dark featured USC smoking Stanford in the conference opener, Arizona State struggled in a home loss to Oklahoma State and California outplayed Auburn at home but couldn't close it out against the SEC school.

The guys talk about all of those games and Washington State and Oregon State filing an injunction against the Pac-12 and George Kliavkoff, trying to retain control of the conferences assets as the rest of the programs leave for greener pastures.
