Episode Details

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!
