Podcast of Champions - Big Ten Football Podcast

In this episode of the Podcast of Champions hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods are back to talk more Big Ten football. The season kicks off in about three weeks and the excitement and anticipation continues to grow as we get closer and closer to watching real college football in 2025.

Today, the fellas go over the Coaches Poll being released and where the different Big Ten teams stack up in the poll. Ohio State comes in at No. 2, Penn State at No. 3, Oregon at No. 7, Illinois at No. 12, Michigan at No. 14, Indiana at No. 19 with USC, Iowa, Nebraska, Washington and Minnesota also receiving votes.

They also discuss some of the evolving game day traditions at Ohio State and some of the fan reaction to the changes.

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 to (finally) recap Ohio State's victory over Notre Dame in the College Football Playoff. The guys breakdown the game from the impressive 10 minute touchdown drive for the Fighting Irish to start the game, and the even more impressive answer by the Buckeyes who scored four-straight touchdowns to take a 28-7 lead out of the gate.

The guys talk about OSU's domination throughout the playoffs, bouncing back after the crushing loss to rival Michigan. At the time there were calls for head coach Ryan Day to be fired, but our Ryan talked about the funniest scenario being the Buckeyes losing to Michigan and then winning the national championship, something that nearly happened two years ago. Well this season it did happen and most of those Ohio State fans that wanted Day fired are now celebrating the team's first title in a decade.

Heading into the long offseason, the guys talk about a major coordinator move, with OSU defensive coordinator Jim Knowles signing a record $3.1 million annual contract to become Penn State's new DC.

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