Episode Details

Ryan Day challenges the Big Ten’s push for a 24-team College Football Playoff, warning that expansion could actually hurt powerhouse programs like Ohio State. Will more playoff spots really benefit elite teams, or just add risks and uncertainty to their championship quest?

Craig Shemon breaks down how network battles between Fox Sports and ESPN are shaping playoff expansion, examines the impact on coach job security, and questions if rivalry games like Ohio State–Michigan could lose their edge. Key topics include Ohio State’s massive $43.5 million roster, Jeremiah Smith’s $5 million value, and recruiting victories across the Big Ten. Plus, catch the latest on the Big Ten baseball tournament, softball Super Regionals, and which programs might thrive or struggle under the new playoff format. Will traditional giants stay on top, or is a shift in college football power coming?
