In this episode of the Podcast of Champions hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods are in studio and joined remotely by the Oregon Ducks football expert Matt Prehm from DuckTerritory.com, talking about Oregon's spring football game that happened over the weekend, how active the Ducks have been in the NCAA Transfer Portal, the move to the Big Ten, the battle to replace Bo Nix and how Oregon players did in the NFL Draft.
Of the four teams moving from the Pac-12 to the Big Ten, the Ducks appear to be in the best position to succeed with a stacked roster and stable coaching staff. The guys talk about Oregon's chances to take that next step and what potential moves Dan Lanning could make to compete with the blueblood programs in the B1G.
The guys also talk about how the conference set a record with 43 Pac-12 players drafted plus Michael Penix's bizarre situation in Atlanta.

Talking Oregon's spring game and the B1G move with Matt Prehm from DuckTerritory.com

In this episode of the Podcast of Champions hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods are in studio and joined remotely by the Washington Huskies football expert Chris Fetters from Dawgman.com, talking about UW's spring football with Jedd Fisch at the helm, the move to the Big Ten, the battle to replace Michael Penix and how the Huskies are navigating the open transfer portal window.
Coming off a run to the national championship game, Washington is in rebuilding mode after losing its head coach, athletic director and a Heisman Trophy finalist quarterback. Fetters talks about how that transition from Kalen DeBoer to Fisch has been and why there is optimism in Seattle that UW can have a strong first season in the B1G.
The guys also discuss the new NCAA ruling that allows programs to help broker NIL deals for players (though schools are still not directly paying players) and officially declares the new two member Pac-12 in this two-year grace period as no longer an autonomous five conference. Plus there are five more Pac-12 spring games this weekend with Colorado, Arizona St., Oregon, UCLA, Washington St. and Arizona concluding spring their spring practices on the Pac-12 Network.

Talking Washington and the B1G move with Chris Fetters from Dawgman.com

In this episode of the Podcast of Champions hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods are in studio and joined remotely by the Washington State football expert Jamey Vinnick from Cougfan.com, talking about the state of the Cougars athletic programs as WSU and partner OSU head into uncharted territory.
With the breakup of the Conference of Champions, Oregon State and Washington State were left trying to put the pieces back together, forming a two-team conference under the Pac-12 banner during the two year NCAA grace period. Over the next 24 months OSU and WSU will try and rebuild the Pac-12 into at least an eight team conference and work their way towards the future equivalence of "Power Five" status.
We talk to Jamey about everything that has been going on up in Pullman during this off-season, the latest news and notes from spring practice and the 2024 football schedule with a heavy dose of Mountain West opponents.
They also discuss the opening of the NCAA Transfer Portal this week, basketball coach Kyle Smith heading to Stanford, athletic director Pat Chun going to hated Washington and lots more.

Talking Washington State and the future of the Pac-2 with Jamey Vinnick from Cougfan.com

In this episode of the Podcast of Champions hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods are in studio and joined remotely by the longtime publisher of BeaverBlitz.com, Angie Machado, talking about the state of the Oregon State athletic programs as the Beavers head into uncharted territory.
With the breakup of the Conference of Champions, Oregon State and Washington State were left trying to put the pieces back together, forming a two-team conference under the Pac-12 banner during the two year NCAA grace period. Over the next 24 months OSU and WSU will try and rebuild the Pac-12 into at least an eight team conference and work their way towards the future equivalence of "Power Five" status.
The War Chest of the Pac-2 will at least be healthy thanks to the recently signed settlement between OSU and WSU and the departing 10 members, giving them $65 million and assurances that the Pac-2 can remain a conference for the next two years.
They also discuss how Oregon State has looked this spring, the reported TV deal with the CW, players hitting the transfer portal and lots more.

In this episode of the Podcast of Champions hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods are in studio and joined remotely by Jackson Moore from BearTerritory and Cardinals247 to talk about all things California and Stanford football plus the Cardinal poaching Washington State head basketball coach Kyle Smith.

Stanford spring football will kickoff next week with the start of the next academic quarter.
The guys also talk about the newly finalized settlement between the remaining Pac-12 members, Washington State and Oregon State, and the departing 10 members. The Cougars and the Beavers will collect $65 million from all of the teams that bailed and have protections against the conference's future earnings and the ability for anyone outside of the Pac-2 to try and dissolve the conference.
