Podcast of Champions - Big Ten Football Podcast

This week Podcast of Champions hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods are in back in studio once again trying to make sense of the Pac-12 conference, with the top-two teams from our Pac-12 Power Rankings losing. Looking up and down both divisions, it appears that any program is capable of beating any other program (OK maybe not Colorado or Arizona) and that will likely means the chaos continues for the entire season. Does this mean the Pac-12 is once again out of the College Football Playoff race? We all know the answer to that.

The guys also preview and make their picks against the spread for week 6 and only four games on the docket with California, Colorado, Oregon and Washington on their BYE weeks. 

And as always they spend time answering all of the questions the listeners manage to send in, including text messages and voicemails!

This week Podcast of Champions hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods are in studio discussing the first full weekend of Pac-12 conference play, going over the good, the bad and the ugly. Unfortunately there was plenty of ugly to go around including Arizona going two calendar years without a win on the football field, Colorado going 24-straight possessions without scoring a point (a Pac-12 record) and the Trojans getting throttled at home by the Oregon State Beavers.

They also preview and make their picks against the spread for what should be an interest week five for the conference that includes just five games because both Utah and Arizona are on a BYE this weekend.

And as always they spend time answering all of the questions the listeners manage to send in, including text messages and voicemails!

This week Podcast of Champions hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods are in studio breaking down what was an extremely rough Saturday night for the Pac-12, with the Pac-12 South losing all five of its out of conference games, dropping the conferences OOC record to a putrid 23-27. The Conference of Champions only has one undefeated team remaining heading into the meat of conference play, the Oregon Ducks.

As our friend Jon Wilner pointed out, the Pac-12 has lost to 6 Power Five opponents, 5 Mountain West teams, 3 times to BYU alone plus two FCS opponents (and a partridge in a pear tree). The guys talk about the disappointing end to the Pac-12's weekend, some shakeup at quarterback for several schools and of course they look ahead to week 4 and make their picks against the spread.

And as always they spend time answering all of the questions the listeners manage to send in, including text messages and voicemails!

This week Podcast of Champions hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods are in studio trying to make sense of this crazy conference that is the Pac-12. In week 1 the North crashed and burned and in week 2, with UCLA on a BYE, the South followed suit and fell flat on its face. The Ducks got another signature win for the conference, but another College Football Playoff contender USC got blasted by Stanford.

The guys also discuss the breaking news that the Trojans have finally fired Clay Helton (much to the chagrin of Dave) and talk about some potential candidates to take over at USC, they reveal the Power Rankings that are clear at the top and bottom and messy in the middle and of course they look ahead to week 3 and make their picks against the spread.

And as always they spend time answering all of the questions the listeners manage to send in, including text messages and voicemails!

This week Podcast of Champions hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods are in studio once again breaking down what was an incredible week one in the Pac-12, at least if you are a fan of the UCLA Bruins. Pac-12 North fans most likely had a bad taste in their collective mouths with the division going 1-5 and the lone win was a 4th quarterback Oregon comeback over Fresno State. The Pac-12 South fared much better, going 5-1 including UCLA's impressive domination of LSU in the Rose Bowl.

The guys also breakdown the newest AP Poll that saw Washington drop out after losing to Montana (!!!) and UCLA jump in, they reveal the Pac-12 Players of the Week, share their POC Power rankings, make their picks against the spread for week 2 the and lots more!

And as always the guys spend time answering every single question listeners manage to send in, including text messages and voicemails!

This week Podcast of Champions hosts Ryan Abraham is solo with David Woods out because he is in a "protocol" according to his publicist. The show must go on however, so Ryan dives into all of the juicy Pac-12 football news and notes that Dave despises so much, including starting quarterback news at Utah and Arizona, The Alliance that formed between the Pac-12, Big 10 and ACC, the Pac-12 deciding not to expand and of course Washington State head coach Nick Rolovich getting prickly with the mandatory vaccine mandate handed down by the Governor of Washington.

They also make all of their picks for each Pac-12 football program for the 2021 season including the division winners and overall conference winner. With Ryan doing the show solo, Dave's publicist sent in his picks and Ryan went through them on the show. Both hosts agree on the conference champion but disagree on the Pac-12 South winner.

And as always they (or just Ryan this week) spend time answering every single question listeners manage to send in, including text messages and voicemails!

This week Podcast of Champions hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods return to the studio to discuss the recent meeting between Pac-12 commissioner George Kliavkoff and Big 12 commissioner Bob Bowlsby and what it could mean for the Conference of Champions going forward. Could there be a merger between the two conferences? Maybe something as simple as a scheduling agreement between the two conferences? Or any sort of alliance that would help the two Power Five conferences combat the already huge Big Ten and the huge and growing SEC.

The guys also discuss the new NCAA COVID-19 requirements for student athletes and the vastly different protocols for the vaccinated and the non-vaccinated, the Pac-12's Olympic success in Tokyo, the Texas senate going off on the University of Texas and lots more!
