BIG 10 SQUAD: NEW College Football Playoff Format IMMINENT | What this means for Michigan

About this episode

The episode discusses the implications of the new College Football Playoff format on Michigan and the Big Ten, alongside a critical look at Purdue's football prospects.

Big Ten faces backlash as 24-team College Football Playoff proposal stirs controversy—will expanding the playoff ruin the regular season’s intensity? The Big 10 Squad tackles the heated debate, weighing tradition against big-money incentives. Are classic rivalries and crucial games losing meaning in the quest for more playoff spots, or can college football thrive with a larger field? The squad shifts focus to Purdue Boilermakers' bleak outlook, with brutal honesty about Barry Odom’s second-year prospects and Ryan Browne’s struggles under center. Is three and a half wins realistic in a daunting schedule, or has the program hit rock bottom? The hosts break down potential upsets, coaching hot seats at Wisconsin and Maryland, and why Purdue football fans may just be counting the days until basketball season.
