Lots of changes and I'm a Northwestern alum so I get more changes: temporary stadium which is currently under construction on the lake, new OC and other coaches, first full year of Braun, new AD, and unfortunately the death of the west. We still retain Wisconsin and Iowa on our schedule which are the 2 teams we love to hate. We planned to go out to Seattle, but we have a schedule conflict ;-( We will probably do our normal AA trip. I wish it weren't so late as the big house row 90-ish gets cold in late November.
Hi Craig , I am going to hold off on subscribing for a minute sometimes the USC hate is a little much and I am used to it from the PAC & this will be different for sure.
Nice video. Being a life time U of W Husky fan : I never considered them not being a PAC team. I understand things change. It will be an interesting season for sure. Let's hope we have a competitive season this year. Go Purple and Gold ( DAWGS ).
As an Oregon alumnus(67) I’m excited to watch your Big 10(18) podcast on TH-cam. I agree with you about the big game between Ohio State and THE DUCKS 🦆. GO DUCKS 🦆🦆🦆
Imagine if the Big 10 added 2 more West Coast teams, split into 2 divisions and had the Championship game in Pasadena.... maybe call it the "Rose Bowl".
Yeah should've taken the other Washington and Oregon teams and slide Nebraska, Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Iowa over to the west division (would be almost even talent/skill wise team for team
@@parkerj344 except that might kill their plans of adding ACC teams. When it comes down to it if you can add Wash St and Oregon St and or Utah but it costs you the ability to add Florida State and Clemson and or Miami then that is not smart.
Interesting. But not sure what the ramifications are. I suppose there may be some. But, it’s a done deal as you know. They are one of ours now. Here is a question. Are all the Rose Bowl games going to be part of the playoff system going forward? If not, who does the Big Ten play in it?
It's just the PAC-12 Network that went lights out, because the contract was to the end of June. The four schools are still in the PAC-12 until August 1, because their GOR to the PAC-12 doesn't expire until August 1. The 10 departing schools lost their VOTE when they accepted invitations to league, as is normal for conferences, but they are still technically members, despite the fact that the two remaining members took the 10 school's logo off at the website.
UCLA’s most difficult opponents will be their three Pac-12 rivals. If their experienced QB stays healthy they will surprise some people. Chip left the cupboard bare but Foster will have the players they need by 2026. Out on a limb here: UCLA and MSU both with winning records in 2024.
I don't like how they do their rankings. I used 247 website and arranged the teams by AVERAGES and not totals and the list changes quite a bit. I also only tabulated for schools with at least 5 recruits so far. Kentucky was 21, UCF was 22, S. Carolina was 23, and Wisconsin was 24. Rutgers was still below all of them.
@@cryogeneric They sit in Mountain Time Zone. They bridge the gap and help travel for those schools out west. They receive a decent tv rating. SLC metro is growing. They’ve been very competitive in football and basketball. Their brand of football is physicality, and they fit the B1G football style. They are an AAU member with a good medical school. If you really think about it, they are similar to a Wisconsin and Michigan State
@@jimedick9496 Big 10 isn’t interested in Utah, they really didn’t want Oregon and Washington that much. Utah is fortunate to be in the big 12, that’s where they fit best, you need the Texas recruiting exposure. Utah was in the mountains west at one time, be glad the big 12 threw you a lifeline.
@@GoodTV285 First of all, I’m not a Ute fan. I respect them, but I’m an Oregon fan. Utah plays physical football, they fill a Time Zone, and they have very good academics. B1G didn’t want Ore/Wash? Really? Oregon vs Ohio St is touted as one of the biggest games this season. Two top 5 teams matching up against each other is huge. This is exactly what the B1G and FOX wanted. Wash vs Mich is another huge win for the conf and FOX. Have you ever looked at the tv rankings? Both Oregon and Washington sit in the top 15 most watched teams. These two teams bumped the B1G National standing as the most watched conference in the nation. It’s why they were chosen over Stanford/Cal. Either way, good luck to your team this season.
It's not going to happen. Utah doesn't offer anything. If they go out west (which they won't) big 10 more likely to get into arizona than utah. But most likely they will expand out east instead.
Many don't realize that Nebraska, Oklahoma, and Texas A&M initially approached the B1G as part of a package of five Big 12 schools to see if the Big Ten was interested. The response was positive, but only Nebraska was chosen for an individual agreement-source: Omaha World-Herald.
@@joshbazon2764 The Upper Midwest Football Conference was actually Penn State's THIRD (and basically LAST) choice. The Second was the ACC, but The Carolina Basketball Conference basically has basketballs stuck too far up their ass to be able to use their brains to realize FOOTBALL is where it's at!! and THAT'S WHY FSU and Clemson want out now too!
Clemson fsu duke and unc would be a coup if they pulled that off but sec may have some input into it as well…..duke and unc do minimal from a football standpoint but that rivalry in basketball especially and they are AAU schools.
I think OU and Texas were just simply happy to finally leave the big 12. The conference that was screwing them over financially. I'd celebrate too if I left I POS conference for a better one.
@@LockedOnBIG10 we have… you make hypothetical things up for clickbait. It’s like the BigTen buds out at the bar before the season starts. I get it! Fine.. but Useless info as I stated
Washington, Oregon and USC will upgrade the B1G. UCLA has been pretty mediocre for a long time in the Pac. They will struggle to compete in a tougher league.
As a Pac 12 fan I can tell you 2 things all Pac 12 fans won't miss ... Pac 12 officials and the Pac 12 Network.
I agree…
Totally, they were a bad joke..lol
Don't forget Larry Scott!
@@PhoenixFlamezz Yes, that guy was such a loser doucebag!
As an International supporter I loved the PAC Network as it broadcasted on YT for free
Great coverage! As a duck fan, it's been fun checking out all of the big ten channels this off-season! Can't wait and *Go Ducks!*
Thank you and welcome to the Big 10!

Give them a little grace…Oregon fan is not the brightest of bulbs.
“Blue Bloods”…hahahaha!!!!
#FightOn!
Yeah, I wouldn’t want USC’s schedule this year. It’s brutal. Ours is a bit rough too. But USC’s is harder.
UCLA's schedule is very tough too. Big 10 slate of games plus at LSU.
USC will go 4-8 and their fans will make excuses.

We basically live in the B1G’s driveway right now and come in to use the bathroom and kitchen whenever we want
We are still happy to have you lol
RUTGERS will not be top 5 in December and USC will not be at 21st in recruiting 😂
Go back 10 go Hawks
I would really like to see Utah join the big 10 as soon as they possibly could.
Why?

So, Missouri, Texas A&M, and Oklahoma are schools that settled for the SEC.
Also, Texas contacted the Big 10 after Penn State was admitted into the conference in the 1990's.

@DavidKreitzer-ng2fe You make more money in the Big 10, which is astronomical in comparison to SEC athletic funds and universities.
@@josephcernansky1794 Penn State chose the B1G because it was the best. The B1G is a national conference.
I am happy Oregon is joining the big 10. If you think we are doing well recruiting now wait until we finally get more east coast exposure and talent.
Yes, having people being able to watch us on TV, will be great!
🕵️♂️ Now, if the Big-10 Can Grab the 4 Best Teams From the ACC, That Would Be a Real Great Way to Finish the "Pre-Season"! 😂
Clemson fsu duke and unc would be a coup if they pulled that off but sec may have some input into it as well…..duke and unc do minimal from a football standpoint but that rivalry in basketball especially and they are AAU schools.
And Notre Dame
@@slibertas1996 yeah at the very least they should have scheduling agreement long term with notre dame
NO. The Big Ten is not getting that big at risk losing kinship & closeness among members. That is too big
@@A1Googler I would never say never in this landscape that is changing as rapidly as it is
Good show 😂
18 teams with 9 conference games, tiebreakers are going to be ugly if the big ten is top heavy
Good point.
@@LockedOnBIG10 What if 3 teams go 9-0. 2 highest ranked teams I guess
i know we talked football. But wait until basketball season open.
Big 10 better not jerk off their new teams like the SEC did with ou and texas. Can take away the teams but cannot take away their previous history!
I think OU and Texas were just simply happy to finally leave the big 12. The conference that was screwing them over financially. I'd celebrate too if I left I POS conference for a better one.
Homeless wow I'll kick in whatever extra cash I got......😂

What should we call it? Any ideas?
Go Ducks!!!
Let’s Go Ducks!!!
Washington, Oregon and USC will upgrade the B1G. UCLA has been pretty mediocre for a long time in the Pac. They will struggle to compete in a tougher league.
I think you are right.
Wolverines will lose to Texas, Oregon, & OSU.
Those are the 3 biggies on the schedule. If they win one of them they are in the playoffs.
Indians not Guardians
Suckeyes still spending money on players
Bienemy can't be that good if no team in the NFL would hire him.

🏚 Is Notre Dame Tired of Being "Homeless" Yet? 🤣 You Can Call It "Independent" (🗽), But We Know Better! 😜
Hey, hey you have to get it right. Notre Dame is a rich homeless school.
Horrible take 😂😂😂 they are sticking it to the man, and you are a brainless guppy
