  • West Coast Coverage of Big Ten Football

    I came upon this podcast recently when looking for additional Big Ten football coverage. The hosts Ryan and David provide coverage of the past weekends games, and a look ahead to the coming matchups. As media members of USC and UCLA, I appreciate their ability to provide honest opinions of both programs. Glad to have another show added to my weekly football talk as I await the next Saturday of college football!

  • The Best.

    David Woods, you smug, Jim Carrey faced, Danny DeVito bodied bastard: I’m a USC fan, but I still love your analysis. Ryan, you Trader Joe’s loving shill, you bring a little normalcy to the chaos plus the occasional reminder that groceries exist.

    This is the best CFB podcast I’ve ever listened to, and I resent how much I enjoy it. David somehow manages to sound smug even when he’s right, which is impressive because he’s usually right just often enough to make it unbearable. Ryan keeps the show g... more

  • Somehow still eligible for a bowl game

    As a UCLA fan, I thought I’d already developed a tolerance for terrible decisions and wasted potential. Then I found the Podcast of Champions.

    Imagine a meeting that should’ve been an email, except the email would’ve been wrong too. I regularly finish an episode knowing less about college football and more about how much free time I apparently have.

    Five stars. I haven’t missed an episode, unless I had something better to do. Please don’t tell anyone.

  • Two gentlemen…

    …and I use that term loosely, talk each week of the football season about the 37 teams in the BIG One Zero. Worth a listen if bored to death.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Recapping week 2, previewing week 3 in the Big Ten
Q: So what gives here any insight into that whole situation?
The hosts speculate that the coach may perform better as a position coach within a strong program than as an offensive coordinator, and note that coaching environments and leadership can affect performance.
Recapping week 2, previewing week 3 in the Big Ten
Q: Are the best skill players in Oregon this season in Corvallis and will either of them still be on the Beavs next fall?
The hosts say they have not watched enough Oregon State to compare its players with Oregon's, but expect the players mentioned in the question will not remain with the Beavers next season.
Recapping week 3, previewing week 4 in the Big Ten
Q: Does USC fire Riley if they lose to Oregon? Also, does Lanning go start on the hot seat if Oregon loses to USC?
The hosts say an Oregon loss would begin to intensify pressure on Riley, but he would likely need additional losses to be fired. A USC loss would raise doubts about Dan Lanning if Oregon also lost again and fell out of playoff contention.
Recapping week 3, previewing week 4 in the Big Ten
Q: On average, how many times do you guys go back and rewatch the games from the previous week to give your recaps and assess player performance?
The hosts joke that the question assumes they rewatch games, then say they are good at their work without giving a rewatch count.
Podcast of Champions: Recapping Week 9, including USC's win over Ohio State, and previewing Week 10
Q: How long until something foolish happens again? I guess the real question is, how much more money do people think they can squeeze from college football?
Woods points to declining TV ratings and attendance concerns as possible signs that fans are becoming frustrated, but doubts that those concerns will stop decision-makers from making changes.
