After the collapse of the Pac-12 I stopped listening to this show as it no longer covered my team. But I decided to tune in for an off-season episode. I couldn’t believe my ears... what I heard was crisp, well-produced audio, playing what appeared to be easily understandable complete sentences. I started thinking the show had used that BIG-money to professionalize and then I realized I was just listening to an ad. Fortunately, the show remains as mediocre as ever! Keep it up! I’ve listened to ev... more
This podcast will leave you with either a joyous feeling or a feeling of “ I just waisted an hour of precious time on this earth” Either feeling you get, it will be because of Dave’s deep and analytical research he does on all 18 teams before every show or due to Ryan’s obsession with trying to get you to gamble every beginning of a new episode.

Glad the marlin won and avoided the big stick with the hook. Kudos to the marlin and keep up the mediocre job boys!
I started listening to Podcast of Champions somewhere around 2016 or 2017, and it became one of my favorite college football podcasts. As a Utah fan, it was great to have a show that covered the entire Pac-12 with people who actually knew the conference. I also have to admit I kind of miss getting the perspective of someone that covers a basketball school.

Do you like podcasts where the show suddenly begins live without warning on YouTube? The hosts upload the show to the wrong RSS feed? Where episodes don’t get uploaded to any podcast platform, forcing you to watch on YouTube with ads every 5 minutes like you are watching a monetized Twitch stream? This is the show for you!
Dave’s “wgaf” attitude towards preparation pairs perfectly with Ryan’s disappointed dad persona when he once again realizes Dave hasn’t read the show notes and is more prepar... more

A lighthearted, deeply opinionated take on Big Ten football with frequent banter between two long-running hosts. The show blends game breakdowns, previews and recaps across the conference with recurring threads on NIL, realignment, and media rights, peppered by personal anecdotes and audience chat. A standout is the duo's chemistry and willingness to riff beyond pure analysis, making it approachable for casual fans while still offering informed takes for enthusiasts. The format also accommodates sponsorship-friendly segments and fan engagement, which can be appealing for advertisers seeking authentic, long-running chats around college football and the Big Ten.
