Big Ten Football Coaches Power Rankings May 24, 2021

Show notes

CBS Sports did us a great favor this past week as they ranked every head coach in the Power 5 conferences in college football. So naturally, that includes all 14 coaches in the Big Ten Conference. So on this Stephens & Stevens Monday episode, Jay Stephens joins to discuss if we agree or disagree with these CBS Sports rankings and offer our own takes on the best coaches in the Big Ten. Is there a coach ranked too high that is not deserving of so? Is there a coach or two that got under-ranked? We've focused on players, teams, and now as we take an early look at the 2021 college football campaign, coaches are the topic of conversation. Today's episode is brought to you by Built Bar.

Risers & Fallers in 2021 Big Ten Football May 21, 2021

Show notes

We now go back to taking a team-centric approach as we continue our early previews of the 2021 Big Ten football season to round out your week. On today's show, we look at a couple of potential candidates in each division that could see its stock rise or possibly fall in the Big Ten standings this upcoming year. To assess all of the moving programs, we turn to the expertise of a dear friend, Connor "Two Shows" Happer. Connor is back on the podcast to detail a few programs in both the Big Ten East and Big Ten West that he expects to either improve or go the other direction in 2021.

2021 Big Ten Football: Highlight Players and Breakout Stars May 20, 2021

Show notes

It's a TWO-fer Thursday, but not in the traditional sense. It's a Two-fer because we get back to back episodes with Dustin Schutte, the Managing Editor of Saturday Tradition. On today's show, we utilize Dustin's expertise to highlight some of the Big Ten's best returning talent and production from a year ago. We discuss players that led their respective statistical categories in 2020, and may be able to accomplish the same feat this upcoming year. We also dive deeper than that, and give you some names that might not be on your radar at the moment, but that will certainly be by the time we get to the end of the 2021 Big Ten football season.

Potential Big Ten 2021 Heisman Candidates May 19, 2021

Show notes

It has been now 14 years running since the Big Ten Conference last had a Heisman Trophy winner. The year was 2006, and the name was Troy Smith, the QB from Ohio State. So as we look forward to the 2021 college football season, who are a couple of potential candidates that might be able to snap that streak? We turn to Dustin Schutte, the managing editor of Saturday Tradition, who lends expertise in this very area. Dustin wrote a wonderful article for Saturday Tradition breaking down the potential Big Ten candidates for the Heisman this upcoming year and details what each star brings to the table in the 2021 Big Ten football campaign.

We Nap in May: Transformative Big Ten Basketball May 18, 2021

Show notes

We believe here on this podcast that next season in Big Ten men's basketball is going to be transformative and look different than the past couple of seasons. Will the Big Ten be as strong of a league as it was these past two campaigns? Will teams that we saw at the top of the league move to the bottom portion of the conference? To discuss these very questions, we turn to Jack Grossman, our Indiana everything expert who also has a great pulse of what goes on in the Big Ten overall. The reason Jack is so needed today as well is because Indiana may represent the transitioning nature of the Big Ten next year better than most programs. We detail all of that, and how the Hoosiers' success in the conference may also tie in to the success of the Big Ten in general on the national landscape.

SUPER EARLY Look At The Big Ten Basketball Schedule May 17, 2021

Show notes

What? Big Ten hoops talk in the month of May?! You bet your bottom dollar. The Big Ten Conference released its 2021-22 men's basketball schedule this past week and on this Crossover Special with Locked On Golden Gophers' Nate Dickinson, we take way too early of a look at the slate for this next season. First, we begin by estimating who we think will be at the top of the Big Ten next year in hoops, and then take a peak into the schedule. Which Big Ten programs have an easier path as it stands at the moment? Who has a harder schedule on paper? And yes, we understand this is May and so much can change until this upcoming basketball season. But let's have some fun anyway! Today's episode is brought to you by Built Bar.

An SEC Drew Perspective to Big Ten Team Win Totals May 14, 2021

Show notes

All week here on this podcast, we have been diving through the Big Ten team win totals we set here on this show. And we've been going around the Locked On Podcast Network's College channel and Big Ten community. But today, we switch things up and go outside our very own league. And we go to a familiar face who likes to come on this program and blaspheme (he'll explain in the episode). SEC Drew Carter is back on the podcast to discuss the 2021 Big Ten team win totals and what he likes and dislikes in those numbers. A fresh perspective to end out your week!

TWO-FER Thursday: Team Win Total Takeover May 13, 2021

Show notes

This is an excellent TWO-FER Thursday on the show because it also semi-historic. Both men have appeared as guests on this program together, but never at the same time, and never as co-hosts of Locked On Badgers. But that's what we have here today, as both Asher Low and Ben Kenney join the show to take a look at the Big Ten team win totals we approximated for the 2021 college football season, If you couldn't tell, this is the theme of the week, as we react all over the Big Ten Conference to these numbers and take an early, predictive look at this upcoming season. Which numbers did Asher and Ben agree with? Did any team total stand out in their mind? All of that, and plenty more on a jam-packed TWO-FER Thursday!

GUT REACTION Wednesday: 2021 Team Win Totals May 12, 2021

Show notes

Not only did Kevin McGuire agree to come on today's episode of Locked On Big Ten, but he also delivered to us the episode title for today's show. That's a great guest! Kevin is on the show to give his gut reactions to the Big Ten team win totals we have set on the previous two episodes for the upcoming 2021 college football season. What team win totals stood out to Kevin? As the host of Locked On Nittany Lions, what did he make of Penn State's number of 8.5 wins? Did he think any schools were going way under the line that was approximated? And we react (with our gut reactions) to the future outright odds BetOnline presented to win the Big Ten Conference in 2021.

EARLY Big Ten West Team Win Totals May 11, 2021

Show notes

So yesterday it was all about the Big Ten East. Today we move over to the West Division and approximate team win totals for all seven schools on that side of the league. And joining me to do so is one of the best guys to cover the Big Ten West, our loyal host of Locked On Hawkeyes, Andrew Wade. We go over each team and what their schedule looks like for the 2021 college football season. From there, we set numbers for team win totals and discuss how likely each program is to go Over or Under that number. A thought exercise to get you ready very early on for the upcoming Big Ten football campaign. Do Wisconsin and Iowa return to the top of the division? What about the middle of the pack and their possible team win totals?
