Episode Details

Jake and Will wrap up their 2026 Big Ten season preview series with the top six teams in the conference — and this group is as loaded as any in college football history.

Oregon enters as the consensus preseason number one with Dante Moore returning for his junior season despite being a projected top NFL Draft pick. Ohio State has something to prove after a Big Ten Championship loss to Indiana and a CFP quarterfinal upset by Miami. The reigning national champion Hoosiers have to replace Heisman winner Fernando Mendoza with TCU transfer Josh Hoover. Michigan enters the Kyle Whittingham era with Bryce Underwood ready to take a massive sophomore leap. Lincoln Riley is in year five at USC with his best roster yet and his last real chance to make the playoff. And Washington's Demond Williams needs to prove he can beat the elite teams after scoring just 27 combined points against Ohio State, Oregon, and Michigan last season.

Six elite teams. Six burning questions. One conference that's taken over college football.

This is the final episode of the Walk-On Redshirts 2026 Big Ten Preview series.
