Welcome to a new episode of Land-Grant Podcast Network’s Power Two Podcast. On this show, we talk about Big Ten and SEC football…and everyone else. This show is for the die-hard fans and the casual college football fans. After every week of action, we will catch you up on all the major matchups of the previous weekend and look ahead at the games, storylines, and players you should be paying attention to for the next week. My name is Jordan Williams, and I am joined by my co-host DaNaysia Jones. Lock in as we do a power sweep through the college football landscape.

In recent years, college football has witnessed major shifts in the conference alignments. Schools are seeking more financial opportunities and competitive advantages and the fallout from the implosion of the PAC-12 has major implications. The competition value is ever-increasing but how do college football fans really feel about these changes? Jordan and DJ discuss their thoughts on the realignment, and the conferences to watch this upcoming season. Jordan also offers his opinions on new media rights deals for the B1G and SEC. 

The college football playoff system is set to expand to 12 teams. This expansion addresses long-standing criticisms about the limited access to the playoff for teams outside the Power Five conferences. It promises to create more opportunities for underdog stories and to enhance the overall competitiveness of the playoff. Who doesn’t want more college football?

The changes to the transfer portal brought forth by an NCAA lawsuit have created a more dynamic and fluid player market, allowing teams to quickly address roster needs and for players to find better opportunities. But what are the educational implications and concerns for athletes who may take advantage of this? Should there be limitations in place or will the market reset itself? DJ thinks it will.
