BIG 10 SQUAD: The Top Big 10 Moments of the past decade Jun 19, 2026

Show notes

Big Ten powers gear up for a season of high stakes and sky-high expectations. Oregon’s fans are asking: Is this finally the year Dan Lanning leads the Ducks to a national championship? Ohio State faces questions about the Arthur Smith-led offense and Ryan Day’s fourth-quarter strategy, while USC and Washington both eye playoff runs amidst roster shakeups and the spotlight on Demond Williams’ development. The Big 10 Squad breaks down the top moments from the past decade, celebrate the network’s 10-year anniversary, and debate the biggest 2026 storylines for each program. From Chip Kelly’s bold play-calling and Jack Sawyer’s breakout performances for the Buckeyes to Washington’s Pac-12 dominance and USC’s championship-or-bust mentality, this conversation tackles coaching philosophies, high-impact transfers, and the relentless drive for a Big Ten crown.

DEVELOPING: Protect College Sports Act Would FREEZE SEC, Big Ten Realignment – Alabama News HEATS Up Jun 19, 2026

Show notes

The 'Protect College Sports Act' has advanced out of committee and could now go to the Senate Floor for a vote. Could the bill actually pass despite the Big 10 and SEC opposing it?

On today's episode of Locked On College Football, Spencer McLaughlin discusses non-conference matchups that would spruce up the 2026 season. Texas vs Texas Tech is just the obvious one.

Alabama is currently ranked outside of the top 50 in recruiting nationally for the 2027 class. Will the Crimson Tide and Kalen DeBoer turn it around?

DISRUPTOR: Texas Tech Faces Big 12 HEAT, Will Hammond Takes Over—What’s NEXT In Lubbock for McGuire? Jun 18, 2026

Show notes

Brendan Sorsby is not going to play QB for Texas Tech in 2026, and Will Hammond will once he recovers from his injury. He should not be seen as a backup getting an opportunity beyond his abilities.

On today's episode of Locked On College Football, Spencer McLaughlin and 'Locked On Texas Tech' host Chris Level discuss the looming fallout. An investigation of Cincinnati is absolutely warranted.

Louisville is one of the most underrated programs in the country in the last three years across the country. The Cardinals are once again an ACC sleeper to challenge Miami--who they beat last year.

Texas Tech, Joey McGuire Face CHALLENGE as Brendan Sorsby is OUT for 2026 Football Season in Big 12 Jun 17, 2026

Show notes

The Brendan Sorsby saga at Texas Tech ends with the Red Raiders eventually caving to public pressure from the Big 12 and college football community. What will the relationship be like going forward?

On today's episode of Locked On College Football, Spencer McLaughlin discusses the hiring of the new athletic director at Kentucky. Does the move raise the pressure level on new HC Will Stein to win?

Tulane compiled the clearly #1 G6 resume last year en route to the Playoff. Do they have the roster capable of actually pushing for that position again in 2026 or will they regress?

WALK-ONS: The OG Hosts Who Built Locked On College Sports | Anniversary Special Jun 16, 2026

Show notes

When Locked On launched college sports coverage in September 2018, nobody was doing it daily at the program level. Zac Blackerby, Luke Robinson, Isaiah Hole, John Nabors, Matt Moscona, and Jake Hatch embedded themselves inside fanbases across the SEC, Big Ten, Big 12, and beyond and never stopped showing up. In this anniversary special, the original college crew unpacks what it looked like to build hyperlocal coverage for passionate fanbases nobody else was serving every day, how the landscape shifted beneath them through realignment, NIL, the transfer portal, and playoff expansion, and why the commitment to daily coverage never wavered through all of it. Your Team. Every Day. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See https://pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising.
