Locked On Big 10 – Daily College Football & Basketball Podcast

Hot seats are heating up across the Big Ten Conference as coaching changes sweep through college football. Wisconsin Badgers head coach Luke Fickell and Michigan State Spartans coach Jonathan Smith find themselves under intense scrutiny after disappointing seasons. We break down Wisconsin's shocking offensive struggles, including back-to-back shutout losses at Camp Randall Stadium against Iowa and Ohio State. Despite the Badgers' 0-4 Big Ten record and potential 2-10 finish, athletic director Chris McIntosh surprisingly pledged support for Fickell, citing insufficient resources rather than coaching failures. Meanwhile, Michigan State's four straight double-digit losses have fans questioning Smith's progress, especially when comparing the Spartans' struggles to Indiana's remarkable turnaround under Curt Cignetti, who was hired the same time as Smith. We analyze both coaching situations, examine the brutal remaining schedules for Wisconsin and Michigan State, and discuss why some programs choose patience over panic. The upcoming Michigan-Michigan State rivalry game could prove pivotal for Smith's future, while Wisconsin's commitment to Fickell represents a rare show of institutional support in today's firing-happy college football landscape. Watch to discover which Big Ten coaches might survive the season and why Wisconsin's approach could signal a new trend in college football patience.

The Big Ten Conference nearly sold its soul to a private equity firm for $2.4 billion, raising serious questions about the future of college football. Would profit-driven investors eventually pressure the conference to eliminate underperforming programs like Rutgers, Northwestern, or Purdue to maximize returns? We break down the proposed deal that would have given each Big Ten team over $100 million upfront while potentially sacrificing long-term revenue growth. The analysis covers why schools like Michigan and USC ultimately blocked the agreement, and what this means for the conference's future stability. We also examine coaching hot seats across the Big Ten, including Luke Fickell's precarious situation at Wisconsin after consecutive shutout losses at home, and Jonathan Smith's struggles at Michigan State compared to Curt Cignetti's remarkable turnaround at Indiana. The discussion includes upcoming matchups with UCLA visiting number two Indiana, Michigan State hosting Michigan in a crucial rivalry game, and Wisconsin facing a brutal remaining schedule. We also analyze why Indiana might deserve consideration as the nation's top team when the College Football Playoff committee releases its first rankings. Watch to understand how financial pressures could reshape college football and which Big Ten coaches are fighting for their jobs as the season enters its final stretch.

The Big Ten Conference is experiencing seismic shifts as coaching changes rock the landscape and playoff contenders emerge from unexpected places. With James Franklin's shocking departure from Penn State and Matt Rhule's awkward comments about potential job openings, the conference hierarchy is being rewritten in real time.

Curt Cignetti just became the third highest-paid college football coach in America with an $11.6 million annual salary extension at Indiana. The Indiana Hoosiers football program has transformed from historically losing more games than any other program to ranking #3 in the nation under Cignetti's leadership. We break down the massive 8-year, $93 million contract extension that keeps Cignetti locked in through 2033 and analyze what this means for schools like Penn State who were reportedly targeting him. The deal comes after Indiana's stunning 6-0 start this season, including their eye-opening road victory over Oregon that catapulted them to their highest ranking in school history. We examine how Cignetti has gone 17-2 in just 18 months, turning a basketball school into a football powerhouse and why this contract makes perfect sense for both parties. The extension also shuts down potential poaching attempts from major programs with coaching vacancies, as Indiana commits fully to their football revolution. We discuss the criticism from analysts like Paul Finebaum and why Indiana fans couldn't care less about the doubters as they embrace their new identity as a football school. Watch to discover how one coach completely transformed college football's biggest underdog story and why this contract extension changes everything for Big Ten football.

Saturday's USC Notre Dame clash represents the biggest moment of Lincoln Riley's tenure with the Trojans, and the stakes couldn't be higher for both programs. After USC's dominant 31-13 victory over Michigan, the Trojans have positioned themselves as legitimate Big Ten contenders and playoff hopefuls. We break down why this century-old rivalry game could serve as an elimination contest for the 12-team College Football Playoff, with Notre Dame already carrying two losses and USC nursing that painful defeat to Illinois. The analysis covers USC's impressive offensive balance behind quarterback Jade Maiava, who's completing 72% of his passes with 13 touchdowns and just two interceptions, plus the emergence of walk-on freshman King Miller in the backfield after injuries decimated the running back room. We examine Notre Dame's strengths, including freshman quarterback C.J. Carr (grandson of former Michigan coach Lloyd Carr) and dynamic running back Jeremiah Love, who's already thrown three touchdown passes this season. The defensive matchups feature USC safety Bishop Fitzgerald with five interceptions and Notre Dame's opportunistic secondary that's recorded 11 picks.

Could Matt Rhule leave Nebraska for his alma mater Penn State after James Franklin's firing? The Nebraska Cornhuskers head coach didn't exactly shut down speculation about the vacant Nittany Lions position, raising eyebrows across Big Ten football. We break down Rhule's carefully worded response about his Penn State ties, his $7.5 million annual salary through 2030, and whether the 5-1 and #25 ranked Cornhuskers coach would abandon Lincoln for Happy Valley. Our analysis covers Penn State's coaching search options, including potential targets like Jimbo Fisher and Marcus Freeman, plus why Rhule might not be the answer Nittany Lions fans expect. We also reveal our complete Big Ten power rankings with major movers after this week's action, highlight standout performances from Washington's Damon Williams Jr. and Indiana's Aiden Fisher, and discuss Wisconsin's continued struggles as Luke Fickell faces mounting pressure. From Nebraska's playoff hopes to Penn State's coaching carousel, we examine how this potential move could reshape the Big Ten landscape and what it means for both programs moving forward. Watch now to discover why Rhule's non-denial response has Nebraska fans worried and Penn State supporters wondering if their next coach is already in the conference.

USC Trojans football just delivered a statement win that could reshape the entire Big Ten Conference hierarchy. Lincoln Riley's squad dominated the Michigan Wolverines 31-13, potentially elevating themselves into the elite tier alongside Ohio State Buckeyes, Oregon Ducks, and Indiana Hoosiers. We break down how USC's dominant performance against Michigan exposed the Wolverines' limitations while showcasing the Trojans' playoff potential. From Jayden Maiava's impressive 72% completion rate and 13 touchdown passes to the emergence of walk-on running back King Miller, USC demonstrated they're ready for prime time. Meanwhile, Michigan's struggles without injured running back Justice Haynes and quarterback Bryce Underwood's inconsistent receiving corps highlight why the Wolverines aren't quite ready for championship contention. We also examine the coaching carousel heating up across the Big Ten, with James Franklin's shocking $49 million buyout at Penn State sending ripples through the conference. Could Luke Fickell at the Wisconsin Badgers or Jonathan Smith at the Michigan State Spartans be next? Plus, we analyze the Nebraska Cornhuskers' rise to #25 in the polls and whether Matt Rhule might have his eyes on Happy Valley. Watch now to discover why this USC victory could be the turning point that transforms the Big Ten's power structure heading into the College Football Playoff race.

The Indiana Hoosiers just proved they're legitimate national championship contenders with a stunning road victory over Oregon, and the college football landscape has officially shifted. After dismantling the Ducks 30-20 in Eugene, Curt Cignetti's squad has climbed to third in the AP Poll and established themselves as the biggest threat to Ohio State's Big Ten dominance. We break down how Indiana's complete team - featuring quarterback Kurtis Rourke, standout receivers Elijah Sarratt and Omar Cooper, and a suffocating defense - matches up against the nation's elite programs. The Hoosiers' front four dominated Oregon's offensive line with six sacks, while their linebacker corps of Aiden Fisher, Elijah Hardy, and Isaiah Jones combined for 34 tackles in a masterful defensive performance. Beyond Indiana's breakthrough, we analyze Penn State's shocking decision to fire James Franklin following consecutive losses to Northwestern, UCLA, and Oregon, USC's dominant 31-13 victory over Michigan behind freshman walk-on King Miller's 158-yard rushing performance, and Washington quarterback Demond Williams Jr.'s record-breaking 538 total yards against Rutgers. Our top 10 Big Ten observations reveal which players and moments defined this pivotal weekend in conference play. Watch now to discover why Indiana might be the most dangerous team nobody saw coming and how the Big Ten championship race just became wide open. #collegefootball #indianafootball #cignetti #pennstatefootball #jamesfranklin #franklin #bigten

Penn State football just made one of the most shocking moves in college football, firing head coach James Franklin despite owing him $49 million on his contract. The Nittany Lions' decision comes after a devastating home loss to Northwestern and marks the end of Franklin's 12-season tenure in Happy Valley. We break down Franklin's complicated legacy at Penn State, including his impressive win totals but troubling 4-21 record against top 10 teams. The timing couldn't be worse for Penn State football, as starting quarterback Drew Allar suffered a season-ending injury in the Northwestern game, leaving the program with backup options heading into a brutal stretch against Iowa, Ohio State, and Indiana. Associate head coach Terry Smith takes over as interim coach while the program faces questions about its $700 million stadium renovation and massive buyout costs. We explore potential coaching candidates including Nebraska's Matt Rhule, Duke's Manny Diaz, and other names being floated for the Penn State job. The pressure is on to find someone who can finally get the Nittany Lions over the championship hump after years of near-misses in big games. Watch now to get our complete analysis of this stunning Penn State coaching change and what it means for Big Ten football moving forward.

Indiana football just shocked the college football world with a stunning 30-20 upset victory over Oregon at Autzen Stadium, ending the Ducks' 18-game home winning streak. The Hoosiers proved they belong among the Big Ten elite with a dominant performance that featured relentless defensive pressure and clutch offensive execution. We break down how Indiana's defense sacked Oregon quarterback Dante Moore six times while Elijah Sarratt torched the Ducks secondary for 121 yards and a touchdown. The upset sends shockwaves through the Big Ten as Indiana remains undefeated while Oregon suffers their first conference loss. Meanwhile, Penn State's struggles continue with a shocking home loss to Northwestern, extending their losing streak to three games and raising serious questions about James Franklin's program. We also cover UCLA's dominant 38-13 victory over Michigan State, Ohio State's convincing win over Illinois, and the wild Nebraska-Maryland shootout that showcased freshman quarterback Malik Washington's incredible talent. Plus, we preview tonight's Michigan-USC showdown at the Coliseum and discuss what these results mean for the Big Ten championship race. Watch now to hear our complete analysis of college football's biggest upset and what it means for the playoff picture.
