Podcast of Champions - Big Ten Football Podcast

In this episode of the Podcast of Champions hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods preview the week nine games in the Big Ten, which features several intriguing matchups, headlined by a ranked-on-ranked tilt on Saturday.

The action will get started on Friday at 8 p.m. with Rutgers traveling to USC to take on the Trojans. Both teams are coming off of a loss, with the Scarlet Knights dropping a home game to UCLA and USC losing to Maryland on the road.

On Saturday at 9 a.m., Nebraska, fresh off a blowout loss to Indiana, heads to No. 4 Ohio State to take on the Buckeyes, while Washington heads to Bloomington to see if it can somehow stop No. 13 Indiana and the fighting Cignettis.

At 12:30, we get our ranked-on-ranked matchup, with No. 20 Illinois, which controlled its home game against Michigan last week, traveling to No. 1 Oregon, which had no issues blowing out Purdue 35-0 last week on the road. Also at 12:30, Northwestern travels to Iowa and Maryland travels to Minnesota.

In the evening slate at 4:30, No. 3 Penn State will face a real challenge on the road at Wisconsin, which has surged of late, while Michigan State will see if it can notch win No. 5 on the road at Michigan.

As usual Ryan and Dave end the podcast answering listener emails and questions from the YouTube chat.
