Locked On Big 10 – Daily College Football & Basketball Podcast

USC football coach Lincoln Riley is under a ton of pressure as he begins his 5th college football season in SoCal.  The USC Trojans are expected to Fight On for the college football playoff and possibly make a run for the Big Ten championship game.  But if Riley falls short will USC football fans and donors call for his removal?  If they do, who would they get that would be a better coach than Riley?  We weigh the pros and cons of USC's coaching dilemma! Indiana football coach Curt Cignetti updates us on the ins and outs of the Hoosiers current roster.  Wisconsin has a stud running back coming next year that we want to talk about and Rutgers named its starting quarterback for the upcoming college football season. Finally we close things out with Tuesday Tweets!  Did you sent us a post @TalkBig10 ? #collegefootball #USCFootball #USCTrojans #LincolnRiley #FightOn #BigTen Photo Credit: Jason Parkhurst - Imagn Images Twitter/X:  https://twitter.com/talkbig10 TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@talkbig10 Website & Merch: https://talkbig10.com   Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms…  🎧  https://lockedonpodcasts.com/podcasts/locked-on-big-10/   📢 Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!    KALSHI For a limited time, Download the Kalshi app and use code [LOCKEDON] to get $10 when you trade $10. .

According to many, Michigan quarterback Bryce Underwood is on fire at the Wolverines football camp and now Michigan football believes it can jump in the race for the Big Ten Championship and the college football playoff (CFP)!  First year head coach Kyle Whittingham has been excited to see the growth Underwood is displaying on a daily basic during camp with Michigan's season opener vs Western Michigan less than two weeks away. Elsewhere, Oregon coach Dan Lanning spoke up about former college kids regaining college football eligibility.  We will tell you what he said.  And Ohio State named its team captains, plus we have the latest recruiting news.

We are EXCITED for the entire slate of Big Ten football games coming up for the 2026 college football season.  However, after much studying we have boiled the season down to the THREE most important games of the season that will determine the Big Ten Championship.  These games involve the Indiana Hoosiers, Ohio State Buckeyes, Oregon Ducks and USC Trojans!   Also, the Big House, Michigan Stadium will have a new look this year but Penn State's Beaver Stadium might be a little bigger.  We have all the details.  And we look into why Utah is suing Kyle Whittingham's brother. Finally we take one last look at projected Big Ten football win totals for the upcoming 2026 college football season.  There have been changes and we will tell you where the value is!   Twitter/X:  https://twitter.com/talkbig10 TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@talkbig10 Website & Merch: https://talkbig10.com   Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms…  🎧  https://lockedonpodcasts.com/podcasts/locked-on-big-10/   📢 Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!    KALSHI For a limited time, Download the Kalshi app and use code [LOCKEDON] to get $10 when you trade $10. .

Big Ten contenders fuel championship buzz as Indiana, Ohio State, Oregon, and Washington jockey for playoff supremacy. Will Josh Hoover elevate Indiana’s defense into NCAA history, or can powerhouse rosters like Oregon and USC crash the party? Heated debates ignite around Penn State’s playoff chances, Washington’s leap to 10 wins, and the pivotal Indiana–Ohio State clash in Bloomington. Host Spencer McLaughlin and the Locked On Big Ten crew break down bold predictions, playoff math, and the season’s must-watch games—including USC vs. Oregon and Indiana’s high-stakes trip to Husky Stadium. Key topics include the potential for four Big Ten teams in the College Football Playoff, the rise of non-quarterback Heisman contenders, and which program could surprise or disappoint. How will coaching changes and stacked schedules redefine the Big Ten landscape in 2026? Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Curt Cignetti and the Indiana Hoosiers football team is still NOT getting the respect they deserve following a perfect 16-0 college football national championship season.  The AP preseason college football top 25 poll has them ranked 6th despite the fact that they received the 3rd most first place votes.  That means numerous voters didn’t even have them in their top 10!  We challenge anybody to recall a team with Indiana's resume and add the fact they reloaded their 2026 roster where they were not the preseason number one ranked team.  If their red jerseys said Alabama or Georgia across the front instead of Indiana, they'd be ranked number one! We also take a look at Michigan's recruiting trends for 2028 and look at Wisconsin's injuries along the offensive line.  Penn State gets a legacy visit and Pat Fitzgerald thinks his running back Cam Edwards is the best in the country.  Tune in for all of that and more on Locked on Big Ten!

The Oregon Ducks quarterback room is the deepest in the country and it's not even close.  Dan Lanning's sure-fire starter Dante Moore turned down $50 million dollars of NFL money to return to Eugene for another season and a run at a college football national championship.  He is backed up by two-year Nebraska starter and transfer Dylan Raiola, veteran Brock Thomas and legacy player Akili Smith Jr.  The sky is the limit for this group as Oregon football opens the 2026 college football season September 5 against Boise State.

The Oregon Ducks should be the real number one team in the country with all due respect to the Ohio State Buckeyes and the Top 25 AP college football preseason poll.  The Ducks roster is loaded with no question marks!  Expectations in Oregon are sky-high!

ESPN's Big Ten hater and SEC lover Paul Finebaum inexplicably took verbal shots at legendary football coach and Fox college football analyst Urban Meyer for daring to suggest the SEC Championship game isn't what it used to be!  Finebaum lost his mind when he said Urban makes a fool of himself on TV and nobody remembers his accomplishments on the field (3 National Championships!).  Uh, speaking of making a fool of himself on TV! Plus Indiana football coach Curt Cignetti says he would love for his Hoosiers to play Notre Dame despite cancelling an upcoming series with them.  We dive into the conditions Cignetti has to reschedule the series.  And finally we have fun with our Tuesday Tweets segment!  Did you send us one?

Indiana football coach Curt Cignetti recently cancelled a home and home series with Notre Dame.  Indiana has been accused of scheduling soft preconference games.  But Cignetti insists he would love for his Hoosiers to play Notre Dame under the right conditions.  We agree with those conditions and we do a deep dive into what they are.  Tune in and join in on the conversation at Locked on Big Ten!

College football is always changing and ACC schools like Florida State, Miami, North Carolina and Clemson may already have their EXIT plans in motion and they may be on the move to the Big Ten for the next round of expansion and realignment as soon as the spring.  How does the Save College Sports Act play into all of this?  We have all the details! We also note how Ohio State football is changing another long-standing tradition and we question whether some of these changes are put in place to avoid possible disappointment that comes with a loss to Michigan.  Also, there is a huge quarterback competition brewing at Ohio State! Finally we track Big Ten football alumni in the NFL preseason with our Top Ten Big Ten Observations!

ESPN college football analyst Kirk Herbstreit put his reputation on the line and risked offending SEC fans by stating an inconvenient truth that the Big Ten is more invested and motivated in its success than the SEC.  Herbstreit is 1000 percent right and we back him with numerous examples.   Additionally we set the record straight on Oregon running back Jordon Davison's alleged injury.  Plus we tell you why Penn State football coach Matt Campbell cut his sizable office in half.  And former Michigan coach Dusty May explains why he really left for the NBA. Plus it's never too early to look at football point spreads!  It's all here on Locked on Big Ten! Photo Credit: Mark J.

ESPN (and presumably the SEC) has a new plan for a 20-team college football playoff format.  But the Tony Petitti and the Big Ten are sticking to their preference for a full blown 24 team format.  We tear both CFP plans apart as we actually prefer a smaller playoff plan.  We share all the details here! We give you all the details on Northwestern's new $35 million dollar donation that arrived with the opening of their new Ryan Field Stadium.  Is Northwestern ready to jump to the top tier of Big Ten football? We have injury updates at Oregon and Michigan and we tell you when you can check in on your favorite Big Ten team on the Big Ten Network with training camp updates on our weekly Big Ten Classics segment!

Penn State football is poised for a solid 2026 college football season under first year head coach Matt Campbell.  However we explore if his Iowa State transfers are good enough to play with the elite teams in the Big Ten or will they benefit from an easier college football schedule that does not include Ohio State or Oregon.  We are also concerned that Campbell, while at Iowa State, like fired Penn State football coach James Franklin, did not win a lot of "big games" against great teams. We also have the latest college football recruiting news at Ohio State and Nebraska plus we discovered Nebraska football coach Matt Rhule likes Karaoke!  And finally we power rank Big Ten football stadiums by age.  The oldest on the list will surprise you!

Fox host Colin Cowherd suggested Curt Cignetti is overrated and his Heisman winning quarterback Fernado Mendoza should get more credit for carrying Indiana to a national championship last year.  Both Cignetti's and Mendoza's greatness can be credited for Indiana's football success but to suggest Cignetti was overrated is beyond ridiculous and we tell you why!  In fact we tell you the real reason Cignetti is so great! Elsewhere around the Big Ten we tell you when Michigan's Maize Out game is and how Luke Fickell needs a quick start to the season at Wisconsin.  And Lincoln Riley may have his eyes on the next Kyler Murray for USC! Plus we share the best of the best with Tuesday Tweets!

The Senate FAILED to pass the Save College Sports Act this weekend ahead of their summer recess.  One reason may have been dwindling support and numerous attempts to add amendments to the bill like the one where Florida Senator Ashley Moody tried to keep the college football expansion and realignment door open for in-state schools like Florida State, Miami, and South Florida.  Florida State and North Carolina recently sued the ACC in an effort to leave the conference because of their horribly low paying TV deal with ESPN.  It is presumed many ACC schools would like to jump to the Big Ten eventually but if the Save College Sports Act passes, such a move would become almost impossible.  We have all the details and some hot theories to share. Also the Ohio State Buckeyes just landed a commit from the top passer of the class of 2028 and USC suffered a big injury to their offensive line.  Finally we close things out with our Top Ten Big Ten Observations from the weekend!

ESPN faces backlash over unchecked SEC bias, stirring questions about college football media narratives. The Big 10 Squad debates Peter Burns’ misleading SEC vs. Big Ten strength of schedule claims, examining how media giants influence perceptions and why networks like Fox and CBS hesitate to match ESPN’s promotional energy for the Big Ten. Ohio State’s and Penn State’s identical 9.5 win totals spark heated predictions. The roundtable breaks down Ryan Day’s daunting schedule—including Texas, USC, Oregon, and Michigan—and evaluates whether the Buckeyes can surpass lofty expectations or stumble amid fierce competition. Insights into Penn State’s revamped roster, key transfers, and Big Ten title aspirations add intrigue. Will Ohio State’s offensive line issues cost them a playoff shot, or does Jeremiah Smith’s star power make the difference? The hosts weigh bold over/under picks for the season ahead.

ESPN's SEC bias or anti-Big Ten bias seems to be coming through loud and clear as an SEC Network host claimed 9 SEC college football teams play at least 5 Top 25 teams from this week's Coaches Poll.  He also FALSELY claimed ZERO Big Ten football teams played at least 5 Top 25 teams.  Actually 8 Big Ten football teams have at least 5 Top 25 teams on their 2026 college football schedules.  And Michigan and Ohio State face 6!  Needless to say we set the record straight. Notre Dame's Marcus Freeman already has the Wisconsin Badgers in his cross-hairs for their season opener.  Lincoln Riley is still dialing in the USC Trojans future football schedule in light of their recent agreement to resume the Notre Dame series.  And Indiana football gets a pleasant surprise as former defensive lineman Stephen Daley is coming back for a 5th year! Plus we close things out with Big Ten Classics on Locked on Big Ten!

We are BEGGING college football teams (like USC in the Big Ten) to STOP scheduling Notre Dame football!  We are tired of the Fighting Irish receiving favorable treatment regarding how much money they keep, college football playoff eligibility or their influence in special meetings just because they are an Independent.  It is time for them to join a conference like the Big Ten to level the playing field.   They are running out of teams to schedule and USC football just bailed them out of a jam by scheduling them form 2030-2033!  We explain all of this in detail on Locked on Big Ten. We also have the first 2026 college football coaches poll, recruiting news and our 2026 Big Ten quarterback Power Rankings.  Tune in and leave your comments and hot takes!

USC football and coach Lincoln Riley are under enough pressure these days to win a Big Ten and College football championship.  Now former Ohio State football coach and Fox college football analyst Urban Meyer turned up the hot seat talk by wondering why Riley and the USC Trojans don't win a title every year! And if the pressure wasn’t high enough we learned the USC vs Notre Dame football rivalry is back on beginning in 2030.  Tune in to learn how Curt Cignetti and Indiana football played a key role in bringing that college football rivalry back!

The USC vs Notre Dame football rivalry is back on beginning in 2030!  Ironically, Indiana requested Notre Dame football drop the Hoosiers from the 2030 and 2031 schedule thus opening the dates for the Trojans and Fighting Irish to resume their 100-year rivalry.  However this is a big risk for Lincoln Riley and USC football since they are a borderline playoff team and the exposure to a possible loss to Notre Dame in addition to their rugged Big Ten football schedule could make things challenging. We lay out the pros and cons of playing this game  but college football fans should be excited the USC - Notre Dame Rivalry has been revived!  And, who knows?  With one more blast of Big Ten conference expansion and realignment this could be a conference game by 2030! #USCFootball #notreDameFootball #Usc-NotreDameRivalry #USCvsNotreDame #collegefootball #LincolnRiley #fighton #goIrish #BigTen Photo Credit: Matt Cashore - Imagn Images   Twitter/X:  https://twitter.com/talkbig10 TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@talkbig10 Website & Merch: https://talkbig10.com   Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms…  🎧  https://lockedonpodcasts.com/podcasts/locked-on-big-10/   📢 Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!    KALSHI For a limited time, Download the Kalshi app and use code [LOCKEDON] to get up to $500 in bonus credits when you trade $25.

New Michigan football coach Kyle Whittingham is dead wrong about his approach to the Ohio State football rivalry and if he doesn’t ratchet up some hatred for the Buckeyes he may find himself 0-1 against them at the end of the college football season.  Maybe things were different when he coached his Utah football team against BYU in the Holy War but we guarantee Ohio State football coach Ryan Day hates Michigan football with a passion. We have the latest on the Save College Sports Act as the Big Ten and SEC are now throwing their support behind the Bill after stiff negotiations. And we think there are some great story lines brewing with the Washington Huskies, Nebraska Cornhuskers, Northwestern Wildcats and Maryland Terps to put a final bow on last week's Big Ten Media Days. Now let's get some old fashion Michigan - Ohio State rivalry comments going back and forth in the comments section!

Indiana Football coach Curt Cignetti dropped the mic with a final shot, ripping SEC crybabies and emphasizing how the Big Ten is the best college football conference in the country.  It is clear Cignetti is itching to get back to practice and defend his college football national championship.  Although he won't admit the latter part out loud.  But he did admit new transfers Josh Hoover and Nick Marsh are ready to go! The episode breaks down Big Ten win totals, playoff contenders, and the season’s most pivotal matchups, including Indiana’s high-stakes duels with Ohio State and Michigan, and Oregon’s double-digit win aspirations. Get insight on coaching debuts from Bob Chesney at UCLA and Pat Fitzgerald’s at Michigan State , as well as team shakeups at Penn State, Minnesota, and Purdue with new rosters. Which Big Ten teams will rise, and can Indiana maintain its reign atop college football?

Big Ten Hater and SEC Lover Paul Finebaum went too far when he called Illinois football coach Bret Bielema the Big Ten's Village Idiot because he dared to say the SEC was living in the past pretending they are still the greatest college football conference.  Teasing and debating are fun but Finebaum went too far with the name calling and owes Bielema and Illinois a massive apology!

Oregon football coach Dan Lanning and Ohio State football coach Ryan Day stole the show during Day Two of Big Ten Media Days in Chicago to jumpstart the 2026 college football season.  We do a deep dive into their discussions and look into the importance of the Oregon vs Ohio State matchup on the football field the first week in November with everything on the line! We absolutely love the Big Ten football coaches when they open up to the media and we share our thoughts on comments made by Illinois football coach Bret Bielema, Rutgers football coach Greg Schiano, Penn State football coach Matt Campbell, Wisconsin football coach Luke Fickell, Iowa football coach Kirk Ferentz, and USC football coach Lincoln Riley. And we post our favorite Big Ten Classics coming up this weekend on the Big Ten Network!

Commissioner Tony Petitti kicked off the annual Big Ten Media Days with his annual address to the media and a national TV audience by standing in front of three college football national championship trophies and claiming the Big Ten is the best conference in the country (and better than the SEC!). He also discussed the pros and cons of the new Protect College Sports Act coming together in congress and gave his thoughts on the college football playoff format.  We give you all of our opinions on these matters as well.   Elsewhere Michigan football coach Kyle Whittingham backs his quarterback Bryce Underwood and Ohio State gets $17 million dollars richer with a new jersey patch sale! Plus, with much anticipation we release our first Pre-Season Big Ten Football Power Rankings right here!

As Big Ten Media Days kick off the 2026 college football season we are predicting at least four Big Ten football teams make the college football playoff this year.  We think Indiana, Ohio State and Oregon make the list.  However, will USC, Michigan, Washington, Illinois or Iowa crash the college football party? Former Ohio State coach Urban Meyer talks about how his career would have been longer had he coached in the era of the 12 team college football playoff format.  If we jump to 24 teams will Meyer come out of retirement? We have the latest recruiting news and it looks like Oregon lost another commit to Notre Dame.  Plus we have our list of Tuesday Tweets.  In the mean time we have our eyes open for news out of Chicago and Big Ten Media Days!

Big Ten hater and SEC lover Paul Finebaum trashed Michigan football fans ahead of Big Ten Media Days which are the unofficial kickoff to the 2026 college football season.  Tune in to hear analysis of his comments and how delusional he is along with his SEC football fan base. We also look into the crazy buyout deal for outgoing Michigan athletic director Warde Manuel.  These details seem more like a glorified retirement send-off instead of a firing!   We also have the latest recruiting news as Oregon and USC continue fighting for the same athletes.  And Morgan Wallen played at the Big House, packing Michigan Stadium for two nights in Ann Arbor.  Tune in to see where that landed in our Top Ten Big Ten Observations from the weekend!

We wonder Michigan football coach Kyle Whittinghams has had second thoughts about taking the Michigan Wolverines gig amid the internal investigation into past scandals at the school.  Plus his new boss athletic director Warde Manuel is leaving.  We also speculate whether these events were the real reason Dusty May left as the school's basketball coach. In college football recruiting Curt Cignetti and the Indiana Hoosiers land another big one while Dan Lanning and the Oregon Ducks lose a kid to Notre Dame. Finally we examine Vegas' odds for the 12 college football teams with the best odds to make the College Football Playoff in 2026!

SEC eyes breakaway league as Michigan, Ohio State, and the Big Ten respond—are seismic changes ahead for college football's powerhouses? The Big 10 Squad dissects SEC’s rumored solo championship ambitions and ESPN FPI’s controversial ranking of Ohio State’s brutal schedule. The crew questions the legitimacy of an SEC-only title, debates Michigan’s 8.5-win total under new head coach Kyle Whittingham, and analyzes key matchups against Oklahoma, Oregon, and Penn State. Rosters, coaching shifts, and quarterback Bryce Underwood's development take center stage as the Wolverines look to stay at the top of the Big Ten. Can Michigan exceed expectations in a stacked conference? Will Ryan Day finally beat Michigan at home, or does 9-3 become the new reality in Columbus? Get the latest insights and sharpest takes on college football’s shifting landscape. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The Big Ten is clearly a better college football conference than the SEC and the ACC and yet coaches like Eliah Drinkwitz and Pat Narduzzi make arrogant and ignorant comments that the SEC and ACC are better, deeper and more talented than the Big Ten!  Tune in as we PROVE them wrong.  Again! Meanwhile Ohio State football lost a big recruiting battle to Tennessee for the best running back in the country in David Gabriel-Georges.  This was really a NIL recruiting battle between Ohio State's Nike money and Tennessee's Adidas money.

The Big Ten and the SEC could leave the NCAA and start their own Super League if Congress' Save College Sports Act does not favor the Big Ten or SEC!  SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey recently said departing the NCAA is a real possibility.  We discuss the scenario where all of this could take place sooner than later and how it effects the Big Ten and college football in general. We just found out Iowa baseball will play on the Field of Dreams field from the movie and have the details.  We have the latest on college football recruiting.  And we think we know why Michigan has been so quiet regarding the details of their internal investigation that eventually led to the upcoming departure of athletic director Warde Manuel!  We share our thoughts with you!   Twitter/X:  https://twitter.com/talkbig10 TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@talkbig10 Website & Merch: https://talkbig10.com   Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms…  🎧  https://lockedonpodcasts.com/podcasts/locked-on-big-10/   📢 Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!    Odoo Great organizations win because operations matter.

Michigan athletic director Warde Manuel is stepping down…in December, following a $12 million dollar investigation into the culture and scandals involving Michigan athletics and specifically the Michigan football program.  We explain why we think the timing of this is crazy as we head into the 2026 college football season. We also put Missouri football coach Eliah Drinkwitz in his place after piping up during SEC media days and chirping about the Big Ten's non-conference schedule while pointing out Missouri's weak-as-water schedule. We also compare and contrast the crazy Michigan athletic department with the calm successful Illinois athletic department as they gave their athletic director a big extension.   Plus we are never far from the hottest college football recruiting talk and we close with our Tuesday Tweets!  Did you send us one?

Just when you thought it was safe for the 2026 college football season Curt Cignetti and the Indiana Hoosiers may not only be better than their Big Ten and National Championship team from last year, they may be building a Big Ten and college football dynasty! Cignetti has already owned the Big Ten and college football via the transfer portal but now he is adding Blue Chippers from the high school ranks.  5-star wide receiver Monshun Sales just committed to Indiana football over Alabama, Ohio State, and LSU.   Elsewhere we continue to keep an eye on 5-Star running back David Gabriel-Georges who will announce his college football commitment Wednesday.  His choice may come down to a bidding war between Ohio State's Nike money and Tennessee's Adidas money! We also list on Top Ten observations from the weekend which included an amazing run at the Open and World Cup among other things!  It's all here on Locked on Big Ten! Photo Credit: Mark J.

Is Michigan's Board of Regents part of a coverup to hide results of its own investigation into the culture of the Michigan athletic department led by athletic director Warde Manuel?  It was initially believed the Board was going to discuss the investigation and Manuel's future but we never got to find out because the video and audio feeds mysteriously disappeared :30 minutes into the one hour meeting.  A Michigan spokesperson issued a statement afterward claiming the meeting never addressed the athletic department issues. Yeah, right! (sarcasm) We dive deeper into that meeting on Locked on Big Ten and also discuss a recruiting war for a running back that is going to come down to Nike money at Ohio State vs Adidas money at Tennessee.  Stay tuned.  Plus it's never too early to compare college football point spreads this season in our Pigskin Picks segment.

Ohio State’s Julian Sayin fuels early Heisman buzz—can Ryan Day’s revamped offense deliver another Big Ten title? Host Spencer McLaughlin puts Locked On’s Big Ten experts on the spot, challenging hot takes about the Ohio State Buckeyes’ quarterback play, Iowa Hawkeyes’ QB battle, and Washington Huskies’ locker room dynamics. Insightful banter erupts around which teams could break through daunting schedules and which dark horses might disappoint. Main conversations include Penn State’s favorable slate under Matt Campbell, Iowa’s search for improved passing efficiency, and whether Northwestern could play spoiler with Chip Kelly guiding the offense. Debates spark over preseason predictions, potential program upsets at Kinnick Stadium, and the true impact of Big Noon Kickoff times. With fresh insights, candid predictions, and sharp humor, this episode arms college football fans with everything they need ahead of another wild Big Ten season.

It appears athletic director Warde Manuel knew about former Michigan football coach Sherrone Moore's inappropriate relationship with staffer Paige Shivers for years and did nothing about it.  It also seems Manuel and former school president Santa Ono knew about the Connor Stalions sign stealing, Spygate scandal long before the 2023 college football national championship season under Jim Harbaugh and covered it up.  We explain how all of this came about from the schools internal investigation of the Michigan athletic department.  We also speculate what this means ahead of today's scheduled meeting of the Michigan Board of Regents for Manuel's future. As always we take a look at the latest recruiting news for Ohio State, Oregon, Michigan, USC, UCLA and Washington.  And we close it out with our recommendations for Big Ten Classics on the Big Ten Network this weekend.

ESPN used its latest FPI college football preseason poll to display its anti-Big Ten, pro-SEC bias by flooding its college football rankings with SEC teams.  Time and time again we prove that the Big Ten is a better college football conference than the SEC!  Not to mention that the Big Ten won the last three college football playoff national championships.  But ESPN owns the broadcast rights to the SEC and airs the college football playoff (CFP).  So they continue to prop up the SEC and ignore the Big Ten.  That seems like a conflict of interest!  And we point out where their poll is wrong! Elsewhere former assistant Michigan football coach Matt Weiss is airing his dirty laundry in public as federal prosecutors try to nail him for improper use of computer devices where he is accused of looking up records of female athletes at multiple universities around the country.  Weiss says embattled athletic director Warde Manuel knew about fired football coach Sherrone Moore's improper relationship with a female staffer.  And when the Feds found Connor Stalions Spygate info on his computer Weis said then-school president Santa Ono knew about it and covered it up by instructing Manuel not to take notes about the subject matter. By the way, as we speak , it is believed Warde Manuel is negotiating a buyout of his contract with the Michigan Board of Regents and will no longer be the Michigan athletic director at by the end of the week. In other Michigan news LJ Cason announced he will be the only player with eligibility not returning to Michigan under new basketball coach Mike Boynton who took over for Dusty May following his departure for the NBA.  Cason will enter the transfer portal. We have exciting recruiting news in the Oregon football and Penn State football camps and we rank all 18 Big Ten schools academically in our weekly Power Rankings!  Let the debate begin!

Michigan football is in the news again as athletic director Warde Manuel may be out of a job after the Michigan Board of Regents meet Thursday to discuss his future.  The Regents are also expected to discuss the results of the $12 million dollar internal investigation conducted by Jenner and Block to look into the culture of Michigan athletics.  During Warde Manuel's tenure as Michigan's athletic director the school won college football and basketball national championships.  But Michigan has been embarrassed by repeated scandals under coaches Jim Harbaugh and Sherrone Moore.  New coach Kyle Whittingham has to be wondering if he made a good decision by taking the Michigan football job!  Tune in for the latest! Locked on Big Ten also looks into Nebraska football offering a scholarship to Penn State football commit Deonte Flemings.  This two way star would be a great get for either school!  Let's just hope he stays with a Big Ten school.  We also look at changes to Iowa's Kinnick Stadium and changes to the NCAA Women's basketball tournament which will effect Big Ten schools in March! We close out our podcast with our weekly look at Tuesday Tweets.  Did you send us one?

Does Michigan football coach Kyle Whittingham plan to dump young but promising quarterback Bryce Underwood following this college football season if he fails to deliver?  At least one report not only suggests this is so but that Whittingham already has a successor in mind from his old days at Utah.  This would definitely grab headlines around the Big Ten!  We analyze if such a big move is likely to be in motion and weight the pros and cons.   We also look into the hierarchy at Michigan State as the school settles its administration with the rehiring of its school president Kevin Guskiewicz and the naming of interim athletic director Jon Palumbo following J Batt's departure for Kentucky.   In more Michigan news the Wolverines removed the interim tag from new basketball coach Mike Boynton Jr as Warde Manuel gave him a two year deal.  Speaking of Michigan, offensive lineman Lincoln Mageo committed to Ann Arbor over Washington and Utah over the weekend.   And congratulations to UCLA shortstop Roch Cholowsky who became the number one pick in the MLB draft this weekend when the Chicago White Sox chose him!   We also make our Top Ten Big Ten Observations from the weekend!  And we will look for your comments on whether Michigan quarterback Bryce Underwood is a short-timer or long-term solution for Kyle Whittingham after this college football season.

Former Michigan football coach Sherrone Moore's former mistress and executive assistant within the Michigan football office may be brewing up a major lawsuit against the university.  Michigan seems to be stonewalling her efforts to collect evidence through the Freedom of Information Act.  Michigan cannot afford another public black eye and it is our opinion the school should just pay her off and make a clean break from the Sherrone Moore era and let new Michigan football coach Kyle Whittingham have a clean slate as he prepares for his first college football season in Ann Arbor. We also have updates from the recruiting trail including information on QB Lukas Prock and Penn State QB commit James Armstrong.  Also, Wisconsin just unveiled its special uniforms for the Notre Dame game and we are not fans of the new look.  But maybe they will grow on us. Finally we have some updated win total numbers for Big Ten teams heading into the 2026 college football season.  We can't wait for the season.  Hit the SUBSCRIBE and FOLLOW button and shoot us a comment over the weekend!

On3’s latest quarterback and receiver rankings spark heated debate—can elite quarterback-receiver duos truly explain team success, or do inconsistencies between individual and duo rankings leave fans scratching their heads? The Locked On Big Ten Squad analyzes controversial placements: Why is Jayden Maiava ranked third among Big Ten quarterbacks, yet his top wideout drops to an honorable mention? Does the meteoric rise of Purdue’s Josh Hoover and Nick Marsh make sense, or is it pure off-season hype? Attention shifts to the Iowa Hawkeyes’ win total—set at 7.5 by FanDuel. Can Iowa’s new-look offense and a lean senior class maintain Kirk Ferentz’s historic winning consistency against heavyweights like Michigan, Ohio State, and Washington? Predictions fly, rivalries flare, and bold calls are made. Is an eight-win season realistic, or are the Hawkeyes set for a step back in a loaded Big Ten? Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Former Ohio State football coach and current college football analyst Urban Meyer says new Penn State football coach Matt Campbell will get hammered by fans if he struggles in Happy Valley.  Meyer noted how the expectations for Penn State football are much higher than at Iowa State.  And he is right!  Nittany Lions fans ran former Penn State football coach James Franklin out of town despite winning ten games every year, not to mention he was a field goal away from beating Notre Dame in the College football playoff semifinal the previous season. In recruiting wars we look at how Michigan is jumping into the state of Ohio as it tries to land 4-star running back Catrae Ligon and 4 star offensive lineman Jace Montgomery. The NCAA sent an LOI, or a letter of inquiry to Cincinnati about former Bearcat and former Indiana Hoosiers QB Brendan Sorsby about his sports-betting habits.  This won't end well for the Bearcats.  We think the Hoosiers will be fine.   And finally we look at the weekend programming on the Big Ten Network and point out our favorite Big Ten Classics as they re-air numerous games from yesteryear for Nebraska, Oregon and Iowa this weekend.

Would the Big Ten invite Coach Prime Deion Sanders and Colorado football to the Big Ten during the next round of college football expansion and realignment?   Despite the fact that the Save College Sports Act, if passed would threaten future expansion and realignment, we have suggested the Big Ten act swiftly and invite teams like Utah football and Colorado football to the Conference. We also take a close look at recruiting and note how Nebraska football coach Matt Rhule is tearing up the recruiting trail by landing 4-star wide receiver commit Khalil Taylor.  He is from Pennsylvania and picked the Huskers over Penn State.  And he would have been the exact type of player Penn State has been lacking for many years dating back to the James Franklin era.  Back to Rhule, his 2027 class is ranked 16th in the country and 4th in the Big Ten with 5 star quarterback Trae Taylor also coming! We also have news about Michigan target Josh Dobson who picked South Carolina.  But we tell you why we think he will flip back to Michigan football. And we post our preseason Big Ten Football Coaches Power Rankings.  Where is your coach on the list?  Hit us up in the comment section regarding our rankings or whether you think Colorado football would be a great fit for Big Ten expansion!

Utah football would make a great addition to the Big Ten via expansion and realignment.  However the Big Ten may need to act quickly before Congress freezes expansion and realignment with the Save College Sports Act with a Bill that will change college football forever!  Locked on Big Ten weighs the pros and cons of such a move and warns how this Bill could have negative effects on the Big Ten.

Tony Petitti and Greg Sankey must act now if they want to continue with expansion and realignment of the Big Ten and  SEC.  If the Save College Sports Act(college football) passes in October future conference expansion and realignment will be banned.  And that will NOT be in the best interest of conferences like the Big Ten and SEC!  This episode of Locked on Big Ten breaks down the pros and cons of this pending legislation out of Washington D.C. We also take a look at the latest Big Ten football recruiting news heading into the 4th of July Weekend!  Speaking of the 4th of July weekend and the America 250 celebration, we dedicate our weekly picks segment to the annual hotdog eating contest at Coney Island where American hero Joey Chestnut has dominated the food eating circuit for years.   Happy 4th!  And thanks for checking out Locked on Big Ten.  Please subscribe for free!   #collegefootball #expansion #realignment #bigten #sec #SaveCollegeSportAct #JoeyChestnut #HotdogEatingContest #4thofJuly #America250 Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Big Ten coaching rankings ignite debate as Curt Cignetti’s meteoric rise at Indiana challenges Ryan Day’s Ohio State dominance. Can Cignetti’s underdog playbook outshine traditional powerhouses if given equal resources? The discussion also spotlights Kyle Whittingham’s consistency, questions Dan Lanning’s performance in pressure games, and evaluates where Jedd Fisch and the Washington Huskies truly fit in the new Big Ten landscape. Washington’s daunting 2026 schedule faces scrutiny—can the Huskies surpass expectations with key matchups against USC, Oregon, Penn State, and Iowa? The conversation breaks down Washington’s roster strengths and weaknesses, Jedd Fisch’s offensive strategy, and what it will take for the Huskies to clear FanDuel’s 7.5 win total projection. Which Big Ten coach would you want leading your team through a gauntlet, and how will conference newcomers shake up the hierarchy? Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Michigan's historic crown is under direct threat. For decades, "The Big House" has reigned supreme as the largest football stadium in the United States. But thanks to a massive $700 million revitalization project hitting its stride this summer, Penn State Athletic Director Pat Kraft revealed that Beaver Stadium’s capacity is tracking to surge past 108,000—and potentially clear 109,000. That means the Nittany Lions are officially on track to pass Michigan Stadium this fall to claim the title of the biggest stadium in college football. In today's episode, we break down the details of Penn State's massive West Tower construction milestone, how the temporary and permanent seating shifts are changing the numbers game, and why Michigan fans should be genuinely worried about losing their ultimate bragging right. Can the Big House respond, or is the king officially dead? Connect with the show daily! Leave a comment: Penn State or Michigan—who actually has the better game-day environment?

The battle for the North—and the South—is officially on. The 2027 college football recruiting cycle is turning into an absolute arms race, and the Big Ten’s heavyweight programs are leaving the rest of the country in the dust. In this episode of Locked on Big Ten, we are power ranking the top 10 Big Ten football commits for the class of 2027. We break down how Ryan Day and Ohio State went deep into SEC territory to steal 5-star EDGE David Jacobs, why Marcus Fakatou’s sudden commitment completely shocked the West Coast, and the massive late-June rankings explosion for Michigan’s future quarterback, Kamden Lopati. Are the Buckeyes building an unstoppable defensive wall, or is Michigan quietly constructing the most lethal offense in the conference? Drop your thoughts in the comments below: Who has the best 2027 class so far?
