From week seven the Big Ten had some exciting games including Indiana smashing Oregon in Eugene, USC outmuscling Michigan, Ohio State throttling Illinois and UCLA smoking Michigan State.

August 22, 2025 The SEC finally moves to 9 conference games plus the B1G's dumb playoff proposal
In this episode of the Podcast of Champions hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods are back to talk more Big Ten football.
The fellas talk about the sanctions Michigan will face, and then dive into the beyond stupid Big Ten expanded playoff proposal that would include 24 or 28 teams and seven (7) automatic qualifiers from the B1G and SEC.
They also talk about the SEC finally moving to nine conference games, something the B1G has wanted to even the playing field at the end of the regular season. The SEC will also require each program to schedule at least one other Power Four program, a policy we feel the Big Ten would also benefit from.
The guys finish off discussing local malcontent DeShaun Foster being mean to the media and former Northwestern head coach Pat Fitzgerald settling his $130 million lawsuit with his former employer.
As usual Ryan and Dave end the podcast answering listener emails and questions from the YouTube chat.
