Big Ten season previews featuring Michigan State, Purdue and Northwestern Aug 19, 2024

In this episode of the Podcast of Champions hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods are continuing their Big Ten season previews with Purdue, Northwestern and Michigan State

First up we welcome back Bill Bender from the Sporting News to talk about a pair of Big Ten programs, the Northwestern Wildcats and Purdue Boilermakers.

David Braun took over a Northwestern's program that was in disarray last season but surprised everyone by winning 8 games and Big Ten Coach of the Year. He will try to improve on that mark in 2024 with a tougher schedule and most home games on Martin Field while Ryan Field is rebuilt over the next two seasons.

Ryan Walters is also heading into year two of his Purdue tenure and is looking to move the program forward after a 4-8 campaign in 2023.

Next we welcome in Stephen Brooks from SpartanTailgate to talk about the major disruption this Spartans program went through after the abrupt firing of Mel Tucker followed by hiring away Jonathan Smith from Oregon State. We talk about numerous MSU football topics including star transfer quarterback Aidan Chiles, rebuilding the Michigan State offensive line, replacing Derrick Harmon and Simeon Barrow Jr. at defensive tackle and who can step up at wide receiver.

Big Ten season previews featuring the Penn State Nittany Lions and Iowa Hawkeyes Aug 12, 2024

In this episode of the Podcast of Champions hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods are continuing their Big Ten season previews with Penn State and Iowa.

First up Daniel Gallen from Lions247 joins the show to talk about what head coach James Franklin has planned for the 2024 college football season and if this Penn State program can finally get over the hump and make an appearance in the now expanded College Football Playoffs. We'll talk about some of the major changes to the roster, bringing in a pair of new coordinators and the progress of quarterback Drew Allar.

Next we welcome in David Eickholt from HawkeyeInsider to talk about how head coach Kirk Ferentz plans to improve Iowa's offense that was one of the worst in FBS last season. The Hawkeyes have been exceptional on defense and special teams, but the limitations on offense have prevented Iowa from achieving anything beyond winning the Big Ten West. Even with divisions eliminated, Iowa's schedule is still very manageable and another appearance in the conference championship game is within reach if the offense can turn things around.

Big Ten season previews featuring the Nebraska Cornhuskers and Maryland Terrapins Aug 08, 2024

In this episode of the Podcast of Champions hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods are continuing their Big Ten season previews with Nebraska and Maryland.

First up Brian Christopherson from Huskers247 joins the show to talk about what head coach Matt Rhule has been up to this off-season as he tries to turn things around for the Huskers with their first bowl bid since the 2016 season. The biggest addition to the roster was five-star quarterback Dylan Raiola and all eyes will be on the freshman to see if he can get Big Red back to national relevance once again.

Next we welcome in Jeff Ermann from InsideMDSports to talk about the job head coach Mike Locksley has done in College Park since taking over in 2019. Locksley is coming off three-straight bowl-winning seasons but he has never had a campaign with fewer than five losses (non-Covid years). The Terps were picked to finish 11th in the now 18-team Big Ten, mostly because they need to replace the all-time Big Ten passing leader in Taulia Tagovailoa.

UCLA required to pay $10 million a year in Calimony to the Golden Bears May 16, 2024

In this episode of the Podcast of Champions hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods are in studio talking about the latest development in the conference realignment craziness, with UCLA forced to pay rival Cal $10 million a year for three years in "Calimony," taking a chunk out of the Bruins Big Ten media rights windfall.

On Tuesday the UC Board of Regents adopted the Calimony proposal to help the Golden Bears' athletic department after the Bruins left the Pac-12 for greener pastures. UC system president Michael Drake originally recommended the $10 million per year amount last week and intended to extend those payments through 2030. Following the vote they (thankfully for UCLA) scaled back the payments to just three years with the possibility to revisit the decision at that time.

The guys also have made a decision about the future of the podcast with the Conference of Champions holding on through its final weeks of existence.

Talking USC and UCLA spring football with hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods May 07, 2024

In this episode of the Podcast of Champions hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods are in studio finishing up their deep-dive into all of the former Pac-12 football programs, talking about how the USC Trojans and UCLA Bruins finished up their respective spring football sessions.

On the USC side, head coach Lincoln Riley had to figure out a way to replace Heisman Trophy winner Caleb Williams and fix a defense that was one of the worst in the Power Five the past two seasons. Ryan talks about how Miller Moss looked and if the defensive staff changes, including former UCLA defensive coordinator D'Anton Lynn, will be enough to make that defense respectable again.

For UCLA new head coach DeShaun Foster got his first chance to coach up his guys in Westwood, bringing some excitement to a fanbase that was starved for attention by the former regime. Dave talks about what this new-look Bruin team accomplished this spring and how active Foster was in the transfer portal.

Talking Washington and the B1G move with Chris Fetters from Dawgman.com Apr 23, 2024

In this episode of the Podcast of Champions hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods are in studio and joined remotely by the Washington Huskies football expert Chris Fetters from Dawgman.com, talking about UW's spring football with Jedd Fisch at the helm, the move to the Big Ten, the battle to replace Michael Penix and how the Huskies are navigating the open transfer portal window.

Coming off a run to the national championship game, Washington is in rebuilding mode after losing its head coach, athletic director and a Heisman Trophy finalist quarterback. Fetters talks about how that transition from Kalen DeBoer to Fisch has been and why there is optimism in Seattle that UW can have a strong first season in the B1G.

The guys also discuss the new NCAA ruling that allows programs to help broker NIL deals for players (though schools are still not directly paying players) and officially declares the new two member Pac-12 in this two-year grace period as no longer an autonomous five conference. Plus there are five more Pac-12 spring games this weekend with Colorado, Arizona St., Oregon, UCLA, Washington St. and Arizona concluding spring their spring practices on the Pac-12 Network.

In this episode of the Podcast of Champions hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods are in studio and joined remotely by the longtime publisher of BeaverBlitz.com, Angie Machado, talking about the state of the Oregon State athletic programs as the Beavers head into uncharted territory.

With the breakup of the Conference of Champions, Oregon State and Washington State were left trying to put the pieces back together, forming a two-team conference under the Pac-12 banner during the two year NCAA grace period.

Talking UCLA with Chip Kelly bailing for Ohio State and the Bruins replacing him with DeShaun Foster Feb 14, 2024

In this episode of the Podcast of Champions hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods are in studio talking about this crazy February breaking news that Chip Kelly bailed on Westwood to take the offensive coordinator position with his buddy Ryan Day at Ohio State, leaving UCLA without a head coach. Our own David Woods breaks down how it all went down including Kelly's attempts to get an OC job in the NFL before Bill O'Brien's departure to become the head coach at Boston College opened up an intraconference soft landing spot for Kelly.

A few days after Kelly's departure restarted the college football coaching carousel, athletic director Martin Jarmond found his man. Jarmond interviewed nearly a dozen potential candidates before landing on former UCLA running back and longtime assistant DeShaun Foster. Following the season Foster left Westwood to become the running backs coach at the Las Vegas Raiders, but was lured back for an opportunity to run the Bruins program as they head into the Big Ten.

Dave and Ryan both give their thoughts on the hire and what challenges Foster will face taking over for a head coach that didn't recruit, didn't raise money and didn't leave much in the cupboard for Foster to compete in any conference let alone the stacked Big Ten.

Drama in the desert with Arizona losing its AD plus a booster makes it personal with Jedd Fisch Jan 25, 2024

In this episode of the Podcast of Champions hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods are in studio talking about some of the crazy drama in the desert around the University of Arizona. When Kalen DeBoer left Washington for Alabama, it opened up an opportunity for Jedd Fisch to head to Seattle, leaving the Wildcats high and dry. That really pissed off Arizona booster Humberto Lopez, who felt he had a deal in place for Fisch to stay in Tucson. He then went out of his way to throw NIL money at Wildcat players just so Fisch couldn't take them to Washington, including star quarterback Noah Fifita and receiver Tetairoa McMillan.

Arizona also fired it's athletic director and according to Brett McMurphy, Dave Heeke was fired for "financial & operational mismanagement, resulting in an athletic department financial 'disaster,' loss of major donors & mishandling of former coach Jedd Fisch's contract."

Washington Huskies fall in the national championship game to the Michigan Wolverines Jan 10, 2024

In this episode of the Podcast of Champions hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods are in studio to breakdown the final Pac-12 college football game ever, Washington's 34-13 loss at the hands of Michigan in the national championship game. The Huskies had an opportunity to win their first national championship since 1991, but the Wolverines run game and defensive front were too much for Kalen DeBoer's squad that finishes the season an impressive 14-1 in only his second year at the helm.

The guys breakdown what they saw from Monday night's game where UW was unable to generate the explosive plays that propelled them past Texas and into this title bout.

Recapping Arizona, USC and OSU's bowl games and previewing the Fiesta Bowl and Sugar Bowl Dec 30, 2023

In this episode of the Podcast of Champions host Ryan Abraham is in studio with David Woods joining the stream remotely to recap the Alamo, Holiday and Sun Bowls and previewing the Fiesta Bowl and Sugar Bowl., the first College Football Playoff appearance for the Pac-12 since 2016.

The guys start off breaking down what was a depleted USC squad facing No. 15 Louisville in the Holiday Bowl in San Diego. Despite the limited roster numbers the Trojans came out inspired behind Miller Moss and his USC bowl record six touchdown passes en route to a 42-28 victory.

Next up No. 14 Arizona had a monster matchup with No. 12 Oklahoma in the Alamo Bowl, one of the best games outside of the NY6 games. The Wildcats ran out to a 13-0 lead before the Sooners rattled off 28-straight. Arizona was able to capitalize on OU turnovers and finished strong for the 38-24 victory.

Finally, No. 19 Oregon State faced No. 16 Notre Dame in the Sun Bowl on Friday morning in El Paso. Both teams suffered major roster opt-outs, but the Beavers were far more depleted including the majority of their coaching staff. This one wasn't much of a contest with ND cruising to a 40-8 victory.

The guys then look ahead to the New Year's Day bowls with No. 8 Oregon facing No. 23 Liberty in the Fiesta Bowl and No. 2 Washington matching up with No. 3 Texas in the Sugar Bowl in the College Football Playoffs.

In this episode of the Podcast of Champions hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods are back in studio recapping the very last Pac-12 Championship Game where 10-point underdog Washington took care of business against Oregon, claiming the final Pac-12 Championship in history and securing the first College Football Playoff berth since 2016.

Previewing the final Pac-12 Championship Game with Oregon and Washington fighting for a playoff spot Nov 30, 2023

In this episode of the Podcast of Champions hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods are back in studio previewing what should be an exciting end to the Pac-12 football conference, a championship game in Las Vegas between 12-0 No. 3 ranked Washington and 11-1 No. 5 ranked Oregon. The Huskies have been in some close games but they have come out on the right end each and every week, posting the first ever undefeated conference season in the Pac-12 era. The Ducks have been blowing teams out left and right after their midseason loss to UW and they have revenge on their mind.

Both teams have Heisman Trophy candidates at quarterback with Washington's Michael Penix and Oregon's Bo Nix, and both programs have a College Football Playoff berth on the line, which would be the conference's first since 2016.

Recap of the final Pac-12 football weekend w/ Oregon punching its ticket to play Washington in Vegas Nov 27, 2023

In this episode of the Podcast of Champions hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods are back in studio recapping the very last Pac-12 regular season football weekend, not just for the season but unfortunately forever. We knew Washington had locked up the No. 1 seed for the Pac-12 Championship game but we didn't know who the Huskies would face. Now we do thanks to Oregon's beatdown of Oregon State in what could be the final game formerly known as the Civil War for the foreseeable future.

Meanwhile the Huskies kept their playoff hopes alive with a narrow win in the Apple Cup over Washington State (luckily, that game is set to continue for at least the next five years). Arizona still had a shot at a conference championship until the Ducks took care of business, but that did not deter the Wildcats who absolutely dominated ASU in the Territorial Cup.

A beat up Utah squad survived an upset bit from a beat up Colorado squad, Cal came into the Rose Bowl and gave the UCLA administration more to think about when it comes to keeping Chip Kelly into the Big Ten era plus Stanford got embarrassed by Notre Dame on the very last Pac-12 Network football broadcast.

Recapping Pac-12 week 12 games including Washington topping Oregon State and Arizona beats Utah Nov 19, 2023

In this episode of the Podcast of Champions host Ryan Abraham is podcasting solo with birthday boy David Woods off in Hawaii for another one of his numerous vacations. Ryan is back in studio recapping what was a full slate of week 12 games in the Pac-12 that featured two ranked-on-ranked games, Friday night lights, no Saturday Pac-12 After Dark, two rivalry games and three teams fighting to stay bowl eligible.

The signature game featured the No. 5 Washington Huskies taking down the No. 11 Oregon State Beavers in rainy Corvallis. Despite a below average performance by Michael Penix and not scoring in the second half, UW was able to sneak out with a 22-20 win with the difference being a bad OSU punt snap that turned into a first half safety. No. 17 Arizona also made a statement by blowing out No. 22 Utah at home, jumping out 21-0 in the first quarter against a Utes squad that was once again banged up with key players out injured.

In the rivalry games UCLA made a statement and rallied around embattled head coach Chip Kelly, blowing out USC 38-20 in the Coliseum while Cal went into Palo Alto and took down Stanford with few problems. No. 6 Oregon had no trouble in the desert, jumping out to a 42-0 halftime lead over Arizona State with Bo Nix throwing 6 touchdown passes and Washington State steamrolled Colorado to end the Cougs 6-game losing streak and giving the Buffs their 5th loss in a row.

With one week left Washington has clinched its spot in Las Vegas and Oregon and Arizona are the only other two teams alive to face the Huskies.

Ryan also talks about Cam Rising announcing his return to Utah, the latest AP Poll, the winner of our Pac-12 Survivor Poll plus OSU and WSU take another step towards becoming the Pac-12 in 2024.

Previewing Pac-12 week 12 games including No. 5 Washington at No. 11 Oregon State Nov 16, 2023

In this episode of the Podcast of Champions hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods are back in studio previewing a full slate of week 12 games in the Pac-12 that features two separate ranked-on-ranked matchups, two rivalry games, three teams trying to keep bowl eligibility alive, one Friday night game and no Pac-12 After Dark contests on Saturday night.

The headline matchup is the last game of the day, featuring No. 5 Washington in Corvallis to take on No. 11 Oregon State at 4:30pm on ABC. The other contest featuring two ranked teams is No. 22 Utah on the road taking on No. 17 Arizona in Tucson.

Week 12 gets going Friday night with Colorado taking on Washington State in Pullman and both the Buffs and Cougs need a win to keep their (slim) opportunity to play in the post season alive. Both USC and UCLA have faltered late in the season but something will have to give when the Trojans and the Bruins face off in the Coliseum at 12:30. No. 6 Oregon will head to the desert to take on their former offensive coordinator Kenny Dillingham and ASU. The final rivalry game, what they like to call Big Game, features 3-7 Stanford hosting 4-6 Cal at 3:30 on Pac-12 Networks.

The guys also discuss the latest on the Pac-2 lawsuit with Oregon State and Washington State winning a key court battle and reportedly setting up a scheduling agreement with the Mountain West for the next two seasons. Plus the report from BRO that UCLA head coach Chip Kelly will likely be fired after the season.

Recapping Pac-12 week 11 games including Washington topping Utah and ASU's upset of UCLA Nov 13, 2023

In this episode of the Podcast of Champions hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods are back in studio recapping what was a full slate of week 11 games in the Pac-12 that featured Washington's comeback home win against Utah, Oregon taking care of USC in Autzen and Arizona State's huge upset of UCLA in the Rose Bowl.

The guys start off the show talking about the breaking news that Arizona State athletic director Ray Anderson has resigned and the Sun Devils will look for a new AD to lead the athletic program into the Big 12. Anderson shouldn't have been hired in the first place and the fact that he lasted for a decade is baffling, but ASU does have a young, up and coming head coach in Kenny Dillingham and he could use a similar AD to help the transition to the new conference and navigate the changing landscape around college football.

Washington moved to 10-0 on the season after shutting down Utah in the second half in Seattle. Oregon got 400 passing yards from Bo Nix as they took care of business against USC in Eugene. Arizona got a scare on Boulder but held on to take care of Colorado thanks to a 10-0 run in the fourth quarter. UCLA couldn't find its offense while Arizona State utilized the swinging gate to keep the Bruins off balance en route to their 17-7 upset in the Rose Bowl. Washington State outplayed Cal in Berkeley but turnovers sunk the Cougars hopes of breaking their now 6-game losing streak. And Oregon State absolutely pasted Stanford 62-17 in Corvallis.

The guys recap all of the action and reveal their latest Pac-12 Power rankings.

Recapping Pac-12 week 10 games including Washington's huge win plus USC DC Alex Grinch fired Nov 05, 2023

In this episode of the Podcast of Champions hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods are back in studio recapping what was a full slate of week 10 games in the Pac-12 that featured Washington putting up over 50 points on USC in the Coliseum to keep their undefeated season and playoff hopes alive. Oregon, Utah and Arizona also made statements with decisive wins while Oregon State survived a trip to Boulder and Stanford notched another road win against a struggling Cougars squad.

The guys recap all of the action and reveal their latest Pac-12 Power rankings.

Just before the show went live the news broke that USC defensive coordinator Alex Grinch was fired by Lincoln Riley. Dave and Ryan give their reaction to the news right at the top of the show.

The featured game of the day did not showcase a lot of defense and ended up being a fun duel between Heisman Trophy candidates Caleb Williams and Michael Penix with plenty of run game support including Dillon Johnson's 256 yards rushing and four touchdowns. The Ducks are playing the best football in the Pac-12 and throttled California in Eugene, Utah bounced back from their rough week by dismantling Arizona State, the Wildcats suffocated UCLA in Tucson with Gronk cheering U of A on, Colorado's offense didn't improve with a coordinator change and Oregon State held on for a win in Boulder and Stanford goes to Pullman and squeaked out a win against a struggling WSU squad.

Recapping Pac-12 week 9 games including Oregon thumping Utah and Arizona upsetting OSU Oct 30, 2023

In this episode of the Podcast of Champions hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods are back in studio recapping what was a full slate of week 9 games in the Pac-12 that featured a blowout between title contenders, a pair of wins for the desert schools against Pacific Northwest teams, another near upset for Stanford over the undefeated Huskies and 99 points scored in Berkeley.

The featured game of Oregon at Utah didn't live up to the hype, with the Ducks blowing the doors off the Utes, not even allowing them to score a touchdown in the 35-6 win. Cal built a 14-point lead in the fourth quarter over USC but the Golden Bears four turnovers and failed two-point try at the end gave the Trojans a 50-49 victory. Stanford gave Washington all it could handle on the Farm but the Huskies escaped with a 42-33 victory over the Cardinal. UCLA got off to a slow start that included four first half turnovers against Colorado and eventually the Bruins held on for a 28-16 victory over the Buffaloes. Home underdog Arizona State played well for 60 minutes and took care of business against Washington State, 38-27. In the nightcap Arizona, another home underdog, played toe-to-toe with Oregon State and came out on top, 27-24.

The guys recap all of the action and reveal their latest Pac-12 Power rankings.

Previewing Pac-12 week 9 games with every team in action including Oregon heading to Utah Oct 26, 2023

In this episode of the Podcast of Champions hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods are back in studio previewing a stacked week 9 of Pac-12 football that features six games, all on Saturday.

The action gets started with the 12:30 game on FOX with No. 8 Oregon travelling to Salt Lake City to take on No. 13 Utah. The Utes are coming off a huge road win against USC and would love nothing more than to crush the College Football Playoff hopes of another program bound for the Big Ten.

Speaking of the Trojans, at 1pm on Pac-12 Network they will play a Cal squad coming off a bye week up in Berkeley. Both teams desperately need a win in the last matchup (at least for a while) of this longstanding rivalry.

The next window starts at 4 on FS1 with No. 5 Washington hits the road to take on Stanford. The Cardinal were just curb stomped by UCLA but also had that huge comeback against Colorado a couple weeks back. The Huskies are coming off a narrow home win over ASU where they didn't score an offensive touchdown.

At 4:30 on ABC Colorado will try to regroup from their epic collapse against Stanford and take on No. 24 UCLA in the Rose Bowl. Coach Prime had a bye week to try and get things right but they face a Bruins squad that is playing great defense and found an answer at quarterback.

Then at 5 Pac-2 member Washington State heads to Tempe to take on one-win Arizona State on Pac-12 Networks. The Sun Devils fought hard on the road but again fell short while the Cougars played better in their loss to Oregon.

The Pac-12 After Dark Game has the other Pac-2 member No. 11 Oregon State taking on Arizona in Tucson at 7:30 on ESPN. Both teams are playing at a high level right now so this should be a must-watch nightcap for Pac-12 football fans.

The guys will preview all of the games and make their picks against the spread.

Previewing a BIG Week Eight in the Pac-12, featuring No. 14 Utah at No. 18 USC Oct 19, 2023

In this episode of the Podcast of Champions hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods are back in studio previewing a big week eight of Pac-12 football with games that could help continue to separate the contenders and the pretenders.

The action gets started on Saturday afternoon with Jake Dickert and Dan Lanning each looking to rebound as the Washington State Cougars head on the road to No. 9 Oregon. Oregon needs a win here to stay in contention for the Pac-12 title.

The marquee matchup on Saturday features the No. 14 Utah Utes playing at the No. 18 USC Trojans. Can the Utes continue to figure out how to make chicken salad out of whatever is available on offense? Can USC rebound after a blowout at Notre Dame?

In NorCal, all eyes will be on the No. 25 UCLA Bruins, who will look to rebound after a tough road loss against Oregon State in their matchup with Stanford. Stanford, meanwhile, is coming off a dramatic double-overtime road win against Colorado. Patsy no more?

Finally, No. 5 Washington will play host to Arizona State, which is coming off a bye week after playing competitive football in its last two games. Can the Sun Devils cover the spread, and put some fear into the Huskies?

The guys will preview all of the games and make their picks against the spread.

Previewing an absolutely HUGE week seven of Pac-12 football featuring Oregon at Washington Oct 12, 2023

In this episode of the Podcast of Champions hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods are back in studio previewing an extremely important week seven of Pac-12 football with games that could separate the contenders and the pretenders.

The action gets started on Friday night with Coach Prime looking to improve the Buffaloes to 5-2 as Colorado hosts the reeling Stanford Cardinal. Could Troy Taylor and company shock the world and pick up their first conference win of the season in Boulder?

The marquee matchup on Saturday features the No. 8 Oregon Ducks playing at the No. 7 Washington Huskies with ESPN's College Gameday making an appearance in Seattle. It's Michael Penix vs. Bo Nix with the winner having the inside track to make the Pac-12 Championship game plus have a leg up in the race for the Heisman Trophy.

In a game that doesn't impact the conference race but could give the Pac-12 a boost in the fight to make the College Football Playoffs, No. 10 USC is on the road taking on No. 21 Notre Dame. If Caleb Williams can come away with a victory, it keeps the Trojans in the top-10 and gives the entire Pac-12 another huge out of conference victory.

In Salt Lake City all eyes will be on the Utah Utes and specifically if quarterback Cam Rising finally plays after the bye week. California and is resurgent offense pays a visit facing an extremely tough task, a stout Utah defense in Rice-Eccles Stadium.

No. 19 Washington State returns home and tries to get a bounce-back victory with Arizona coming to Pullman. Both teams played in LA last week where the Cougars offense fell apart in the Rose Bowl and the Wildcats nearly pulled off the upset, losing in triple overtime in the Coliseum.

The #Pac12AfterDark game has two more ranked teams facing each other with No. 18 UCLA heading to Pacific Northwest to face No. 15 Oregon State. The Bruins could have the best defense in the conference but winning against a hot DJU in Corvallis will be a tough task.

The guys will preview all of the games and make their picks against the spread.

Recapping all of the week 6 Pac-12 football action including UCLA's D coming to play against WSU Oct 10, 2023

In this episode of the Podcast of Champions hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods are back in studio recapping a slow week six in the Pac-12 with Oregon, Washington, Utah and Stanford on bye weeks and no ranked-on-ranked matchups taking place.

Despite the lack of intrigue going into the weekend, there were some exciting finishes and results from all of the week six games, starting with a dominating defensive performance by the UCLA Bruins. Arguably no team was hotter than the Washington State Cougars but that hot streak ended Saturday in the Rose Bowl. Chip Kelly's squad isn't lighting up the scoreboard quite yet, but the defense is for real as Cam Ward and the Cougs found out.

Coach Prime wasn't happy with the effort but his Buffs were able to go into Tempe and get the win against their future Big 12 foe Arizona State. Oregon State's defense took a few hits from California but the Beavers were able to push their record to 5-1 by hanging 50 on the Fighting Justin Wilcox's. The craziest game of the weekend came with three-touchdown favorite USC needing triple overtime and some untimely Jedd Fisch poor decisions to take care of Arizona in the Coliseum.

The guys will recap all of the games, reveal their new Pac-12 Power Rankings and how their picks against the spread worked out for week six.

Previewing Pac-12 football week six featuring Washington State at the Rose Bowl to face UCLA Oct 05, 2023

In this episode of the Podcast of Champions hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods are back in studio previewing what looks like an underwhelming week of Pac-12 football with Oregon, Washington, Utah and Stanford on bye weeks and no ranked-on-ranked matchups on the schedule.

The most intriguing game will happen at the historic Rose Bowl with Washington State facing off against UCLA with both teams coming off a bye week. The Cougars are fresh off their impressive home victory over Oregon State while the Bruins are trying to bounce back from their less than impressive offensive performance in Salt Lake City against Utah.

Colorado will hit the road and try to bounce back from two-straight losses when they head to Tempe to take on a struggling Arizona State squad. Oregon State will test their ability to play on the road when they head south to take on California. Arizona nearly upset Washington at home and now they head to Los Angeles to try and upset the USC Trojans.

The guys will preview all of the games and as always make their picks against the spread.

Recapping week five in the Pac-12 with a Beavers flex and USC and Washington escaping on the road Oct 02, 2023

In this episode of the Podcast of Champions hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods are back in studio to recap all of the exciting action that was week five of Pac-12 football that featured a Friday night ranked-on-ranked matchup in Corvallis and a couple of near upset bids over a couple of conference favorites.

The Conference of Champions slate of games got off to a great start Friday night when Utah hit the road to take on Oregon State. The Beavers bounced back nicely from their loss in Pullman and took care of the Utes 21-7. For the second week in a row Utah only managed 7 offensive points and while they did a nice job of shutting down OSU's ground game, their inability to offense was too much to overcome in the newly renovated and vibrant Reser Stadium.

There were three near upsets to discuss with Colorado giving USC all it could handle in Boulder, Arizona falling just short against Washington in Tucson and Arizona State blowing a chance to get a road win at California. Oregon looked like they were on upset alert for the first 20 minutes or so before rattling off 42-straight points in their blowout of Stanford on The Farm.

The guys recap all of the games, talk about their rough weekend picking against the spread and reveal their latest Pac-12 Power Rankings.

Previewing week five of Pac-12 football including Utah at Oregon State Friday night Sep 29, 2023

In this episode of the Podcast of Champions hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods are back in studio to preview all of the week five action of Pac-12 football with 10 teams in action and UCLA and Washington State on bye weekends.

The action gets started on Friday night with yet another ranked-on-ranked game with No. 10 ranked Utah heading to Corvallis to face No. 19 Oregon State.

On Saturday Big Noon Kickoff once again features the Colorado Buffaloes who are hosting the No. 8 ranked USC Trojans. After that Arizona State will try and bounce back without quarterback Drew Pyne and win a road game against California. The red hot No. 9 Oregon Ducks travel south down the 5 freeway and take on the Stanford Cardinal on the Farm. Then the nightcap should be a great one in the desert with No. 7 Washington going to Tucson to face Arizona.

For each game the guys give a preview and of course make their picks against the spread. On the season both Dave and Ryan are 20-13 picking Pac-12 games against the spread.

In this episode of the Podcast of Champions hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods are back in studio recapping the first weekend of Pac-12 conference play that included three matchups of ranked teams playing ranked teams including Oregon hosting Colorado, UCLA at Utah and Washington State facing Oregon State in Pullman.

The home teams won each of the three ranked matchups and went 4-2 overall (and both home underdogs covered the spread).

The guys recap all of the action including Lan Danning sending a message to the Coach Prime hype train, Washington State edging OSU in the Pac-2 Championship, Utah topping UCLA in a rock fight, Washington scoring all the points on Cal, Arizona surviving a trip to The Farm and USC escaping the desert with a win.

They also reveal their latest Pac-12 Power Rankings, talk about the latest AP Poll that includes three top-10 Pac-12 teams and look forward to what should be an exciting week five in the Conference of Champions.

Recapping Pac-12 week three football games and previewing the first week of conference play Sep 20, 2023

In this episode of the Podcast of Champions hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods are back in studio recapping what was a less than interesting week of Pac-12 football where the Conference of Champions finished 9-2 in out of conference play. The guys also preview the first week of full conference games that includes three ranked Pac-12 matchups.

With USC on a bye week, the remaining seven ranked Pac-12 programs won their contests including a closer than expected double-OT thriller in Boulder, a Washington waxing in East Lansing and the Ducks drubbing Hawaii in Eugene. The big news came from the bottom of the conference where Arizona State got skunked by Fresno State and Stanford lost to Troy Taylor's old squad Sacramento State. Obviously, the Sun Devils and the Cardinal occupy the basement in our Pac-12 Power Rankings.

Now that the majority of out of conference play is in the books, it's time for the cream to rise to the top with Pac-12 conference play! This week No. 19 Colorado is on the road taking on No. 10 Oregon, No. 22 UCLA heads to Salt Lake City to take on No. 11 Utah and in a Pac-2 preview No. 14 Oregon State is on the road at No. 21 Washington State.

The guys preview all of the Pac-12 action and make their picks against the spread.

Pac-12 week three previews as the Conference of Champions rolls on Sep 14, 2023

In this episode of the Podcast of Champions hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods are back in studio previewing all of the Pac-12 action from week three of the 2023 college football season. It was another strong showing for the Conference of Champions last week with a 7-3 out of conference record including four wins against Power Five opposition. This weekend isn't nearly as exciting with several FCS opponents on the schedule, but 7 of the 8 ranked Pac-12 teams will be taking the field trying to make the final season a memorable one.

The most intriguing matchup involves the No. 8 ranked Washington Huskies on the road taking on future Big Ten opponent Michigan State with head coach Mel Tucker suspended without pay.

Another strong week for the Pac-12 with a record eight conference teams ranked in the AP Poll Sep 11, 2023

In this episode of the Podcast of Champions hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods are back in studio recapping another strong performance by the Pac-12 in the non-conference schedule with some huge wins over major brands and now a record eight programs from the Conference of Champions ranked in the latest AP Poll.

Saturday morning things started off great for the Pac-12 with Colorado's resounding win over Nebraska at home and Utah surviving their road trip to Baylor. Later in the day Washington rolled, Oregon squeaked by Texas Tech on the road and Arizona looked sloppy at Mississippi State, falling in overtime for the conference's first loss of the season.

Washington State posted the most impressive win for the Pac-12 beating Wisconsin at home, UCLA rolled on the road against Pac-12 killer San Diego State and Oregon State had no problems with FCS UC Davis for the grand opening of the renovated Reser Stadium.

Pac-12 After Dark featured USC smoking Stanford in the conference opener, Arizona State struggled in a home loss to Oklahoma State and California outplayed Auburn at home but couldn't close it out against the SEC school.

The guys talk about all of those games and Washington State and Oregon State filing an injunction against the Pac-12 and George Kliavkoff, trying to retain control of the conferences assets as the rest of the programs leave for greener pastures.

Pac-12 goes unscathed in week one including Colorado's huge TCU upset and Califord to the ACC Sep 04, 2023

In this episode of the Podcast of Champions hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods are back in studio to recap an absolutely stunning weekend of Pac-12 football where everyone, and we mean everyone, scored more points than their opposition. Including USC's week zero win, the Conference of Champions is 13-0 to start it's final season in existence and is the first conference to start off with 13 wins since at least 1980.

Coach Prime and Colorado were the talk of week one, stunning No. 17 TCU on the road behind impressive performances behind Travis Hunter on both sides of the ball and quarterback Shedeur Sanders who threw for 510 yards and four touchdowns.

Cal scored 50 points for the first time since 2016, Utah clobbered Florida missing several key starters, Oregon scored 81, Washington rolled over Boise State, Oregon State dominated a tough San Jose State squad on the road and Arizona State sneaked out a win during a haboob dust storm that delayed their game nearly three hours.

The guys breakdown what impressed them from all of the games from opening weekend and reveal their Pac-12 Power Rankings that feature a new No. 1 team and Colorado moving up to the top half of the Conference of Champions.

Before the games even got started the news broke that Califord, California and Stanford, would be joining the Atlantic Coast Conference along with SMU starting in the 2024 season. The move leaves only two programs left in the Pac-12, Oregon State and Washington State. The guys talk about what options are left for the Beavers and Cougars with time running out to figure out their futures.

In this episode of the Podcast of Champions hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods are back in studio talking about the first real week of Pac-12 football with the entire Conference of Champions in action with a variety of out of conference games. Last week we got a little taste of Pac-12 football with USC taking care of business against San Jose State. This week we get a lot more excitement starting on Thursday night when the Florida Gators make the trip to Salt Lake City to take on the Utah Utes. Kenny Dillingham also gets his head coaching career started on Thursday night when the Sun Devils host Southern Utah.

On Friday Stanford takes an interesting road trip to take on Hawaii, a team that fought hard in their week zero loss to Vanderbilt. Then on Saturday we have some cupcake games but also a few interesting contests including Colorado at TCU, Boise State at Washington, California visiting (!!!) North Texas and Washington State at (!!!) Colorado State. Opening weekend wraps up with a Sunday afternoon showdown with Oregon State visiting San Jose State. The Beavers should be great this season but this one is on the road, SJSU has already played a game and was within a touchdown against USC in the Coliseum.

The guys also discuss some of the other news and notes from around the conference including the bizarre self imposed postseason ban by Arizona State athletic director Ray Anderson and the Bay Area schools' efforts to join the ACC.

USC hires Jen Cohen from UW, picking every Pac-12 football game for 2023 plus our week zero preview Aug 22, 2023

In this episode of the Podcast of Champions hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods are back in studio talking about actual Pac-12 football as we are just days away from the kickoff of the 2023 college football season. Before the start of each Pac-12 football campaign Ryan and Dave go through the entire schedule and document their picks for each program in the Conference of Champions, including the eventual winner in Las Vegas. They also begin their game previews and picks against the spread in this episode (with only week zero game on the schedule), San Jose State visiting USC on Saturday night.

The show starts off with the breaking news that USC has hired away Jennifer Cohen from Washington to become the Trojans new athletic director.

It should be an exciting final season in the Pac-12 with as many as six teams in the mix to win the last Conference of Champions championship. On paper the Pac-12 appears to have an upper class and a middle class and it will be interesting to see if any of those lower ranked teams are able to jump up and derail the season for the programs in the upper half of the standings. Ryan and Dave reveal which teams they are believing in and which teams they think are the bottom dwellers in the conference as they reveal their game by game picks and prediction for regular season records.

For week zero there is only one Pac-12 program in action, the USC Trojans. Reigning Heisman Trophy winner Caleb Williams leads the way against San Jose State at 5pm Saturday night in the Coliseum. The guys give their pick against the 30.5 point spread and start their season long contest of game picking prowess.

Part two of our Pac-12 football previews including UW, Oregon and Utah Aug 17, 2023

In this episode of the Podcast of Champions hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods are back in studio and once again trying very hard to not talk about conference realignment. Next weekend we have actual football with USC hosting San Jose State in week zero plus Utah welcoming Florida to Salt Lake City and Arizona State facing Southern Utah on Thursday, August 31. To honor the long awaited start to the 2023 college football season (and the final one for the Pac-12 conference as we know it), we are continuing with our team season previews.

Last week we previewed USC, UCLA, Arizona , Arizona State, Colorado and Oregon State so this week we will focus on Oregon, Utah, Washington, Washington State, Stanford and California hearing from the 247Sports publishers of their respective sites.

The guys also go over some of the other news and notes from around the conference including the newly released AP Poll that includes USC (6), Washington (10), Utah (14), Oregon (15) and Oregon State (18) with UCLA also receiving some votes.

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

Part one of our Pac-12 football previews (actual football talk) Aug 10, 2023

In this episode of the Podcast of Champions hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods are back in studio and NOT talking about conference realignment (well, maybe a little). With the opening weekend of the 2023 college football season just a couple of weeks away the guys jump right in with their Pac-12 previews. For months all of the focus has been on the pending demise of the Pac-12 conference, which finally came to fruition last week. But the last year of the Conference of Champions should be an epic one, with half the conference having a legit shot at winning the title, several of the top quarterbacks in the country and three exciting new coaches including Coach Prime in Colorado.

This week the focus is on previewing the Arizona Wildcats, Arizona State Sun Devils, Colorado Buffaloes, Oregon State Beavers, USC Trojans and the UCLA Bruins.

After the previews the guys talk about the latest rumors surrounding Cal and Stanford potentially going to the ACC, what could happen with Washington State and Oregon State and the newly released preseason coaches poll. Also, does commissioner George Kliavkoff have a future with the entity formerly known as the Conference of Champions?

EMERGENCY Podcast of Champions - RIP to the premier athletic conference on the West Coast Aug 05, 2023

In another special EMERGENCY episode of the Podcast of Champions hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods are back discussing the sad and disappointing news that the Pac-12, the premier athletic conference on the West Coast for more than 100 years, is dead. The Conference of Champions was listing for the past 13 months after it's hull was breached by the USC and UCLA defection torpedoes. There was a path to save the ship but commissioner George Kliavkoff seemingly made the situation worse at every turn, allowing for the final death blow from Oregon and Washington on Friday followed by Arizona, Arizona State and Utah getting off the sinking ship thanks to a Big 12 life raft.

The guys talk about this shocking development that comes just two weeks after the commissioner assured the college football world on Pac-12 Media Day that everything was going to alright. It wasn't and it wasn't close.

Now we have to wait and see what happens with the remaining four members, Stanford, California, Oregon State and Washington State, who are unfortunate casualties in the conference realignment madness.

The rumored Pac-12 media rights deal & more potential Big Ten expansion Aug 03, 2023

In this episode of the Podcast of Champions hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods are back in studio talking about the reported new Pac-12 media rights deal that commissioner George Kliavkoff presented to the remaining nine presidents and chancellors. According to reports the top deal on the table is heavy into streaming with Apple TV carrying the majority of the games with a separate Pac-12 package that would be available for purchase. The reported revenue is below what the Big 12 has with ESPN and Fox, but there are revenue boosters that kick in when more fans subscribe.

There is also multiple reports that the Big Ten is looking to expand further with their sights set on Oregon and Washington with the possibility of adding Stanford and California as well. Clemson and Florida State were also mentioned, but both of those programs are locked up for years with the ACC's grant of rights deal.

EMERGENCY Podcast of Champions - Colorado is leaving the Pac-12 for the Big 12 Jul 27, 2023

In this special EMERGENCY episode of the Podcast of Champions hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods rushed into the studio to talk about the BREAKING NEWS that Colorado is planning on leaving the Pac-12 and joining the Big 12. Of course our own Mr. Woods was the first to report this months ago, but with real reporters putting this out there now appears to be much more official.

The guys talk about this shocking development just days after Pac-12 Media Day where commissioner George Kliavkoff said a media rights deal was imminent and that all 10 member institutions would be sticking together.

Recapping Pac-12 Media Day from Las Vegas Jul 22, 2023

Podcast of Champions hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods were in Las Vegas for the 2023 Pac-12 Media Day, the first such event in Vegas and the last event that USC and UCLA will be a part of. Commissioner George Kliavkoff hasn't spoken publicly this calendar year despite all of the negative press surrounding the Conference of Champions' lack of a media rights deal. Most felt the unofficial deadline for announcing the new TV rights was on Pac-12 Media Day, but Kliavkoff made it clear from the jump that there would be no such announcement yet. He wanted the focus to be on the football (which should be the best we've seen in a decade) but unfortunately there has been so much buildup and anticipation for this media rights deal that the focus couldn't be on anything but the survivability of the conference.

Everyone knows that without at least a decent TV contract that brings much needed revenue to the Pac-12 athletic departments there is a legitimate chance that at least one or two members could bounce. If that happens it is debatable if the conference could even survive after losing USC and UCLA last year. Kliavkoff and the athletic directors are still confident there will be a good deal and everyone will stay put, but until it happens the speculation will continue to run wild and overshadow any football boom the Pac-12 teams could have on the field of play.

All-Pac-12 Preseason squad by position plus Media Day preview Jul 13, 2023

In this episode of the Podcast of Champions hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods are back in studio counting down towards Pac-12 Media Day by going over their preseason All-Pac-12 teams by position including projecting the 2023 pecking order for all of the teams in the conference. The Pac-12 sent out their preseason media ballots so the guys go over who they selected and discuss their picks to win the conference in the final Pac-12 season that will include USC and UCLA.

With just over a week before the media gather in Las Vegas for Pac-12 Media Day, the conference still hasn't announced their long awaited media rights deal. The guys talk about the possibility that commissioner George Kliavkoff doesn't have a deal in place by media day. If there is no deal the focus will certainly be on the uncertain future of the conference with no television contract instead of the stacked upper half of the conference, the stable of high caliber quarterbacks including the reigning Heisman Trophy winner in Caleb Williams and new head coaches Deion Sanders, Kenny Dillingham and Troy Tayler looking to turn around Colorado, Arizona State and Stanford respectively.

Ranking top head coaches in the Pac-12 plus NCAA's take on NIL collectives Jun 29, 2023

In this episode of the Podcast of Champions hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods are back in studio trying to figure out what they can talk about while everyone patiently waits for the long awaited announcement of the new Pac-12 media rights deal. To help pass the time the guys bring in Dave Bartoo, co-founder of Matrix Analytical, to talk about where the head coaches in the Pac-12 are ranked according to his analytical data analysis. They have USC head coach Lincoln Riley as the No. 3 head coach in the country and tops in the Pac-12, but he's on the same tier as two other Pac-12 head coaches. Bartoo goes over a few tiers of head coaches with Riley at the top and brand new head coaches (with no data) like Kenny Dillingham at the bottom.

They guys also talk about the new NCAA memo that addresses how colleges and their respective collectives should be handling Name, Image and Likeness for student athletes. Will this memo have any teeth and scare off some of the more aggressive collectives out there? Probably not, but it should be fun to see the NCAA try to put the toothpaste back in the tube.

More Pac-12 media rights rumors continues plus SDSU tries a power move Jun 20, 2023

In this episode of the Podcast of Champions hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods are back in studio talking about the latest rumors surrounding the pending Pac-12 media rights deal including the potential of an uneven split of post season generated revenue and a rather low annual number floated out there by WildcatAuthority publisher Jason Scheer. The Atlantic Coast Conference has already discussed trying to appease its power members with uneven splits of College Football Playoff bonuses and NCAA Tournament bonuses, giving the postseason participants a greater share. There has been talk that the Pac-12 is discussing a similar strategy, rewarding programs that invest more into their revenue sports.

The guys also talk about San Diego State informing the Mountain West Conference of their intent to leave and their request for an extension of their June 30 deadline for official departure notification (afterwards their exit fee would go from $17 million to $34 million). SDSU doesn't have a destination yet, presumably the Pac-12 or the Big 12, but they are trying to find a way to get out as cheaply as possible if a Power Five offer materializes.

They also talk about the Pac-12 recruiting rankings for the class of 2024 and give an update on Colorado's roster situation including Coach Prime telling naysayers to take their shots now because they won't be able to shoot later.

Pac-12 Grant of Rights agreement, early TV schedule release plus Holiday Bowl suing UCLA Jun 08, 2023

In this episode of the Podcast of Champions host Ryan Abraham is back from another long vacation and then got sick so the show with David Woods was postponed. Now Ryan is in studio and David joins remotely, talking about the reported Grant of Right agreement between the remaining Pac-12 programs (as long as a suitable media rights deal comes to fruition). They also talk about the release of the television schedule for the first three weeks of the Pac-12 football season with some interesting match-ups on at some interesting times (and on interesting channels), including Colorado on national television for all three weeks, twice on Fox's Big Noon Kickoff, Washington at Michigan State on Peacock and Florida coming to Salt Lake City on an ESPN Thursday night broadcast.

The guys also talk about the Pac-12's longtime partner, the Holiday Bowl, suing UCLA and the conference for the Bruins cancelling the game hours before kickoff back in the 2021 season.

Of course, how can we have a show without more conference realignment talk? The guys discuss the latest rumors surrounding Colorado's flirtation with the Big 12 and Arizona State University securing AAU status, making them a more appealing target for other conferences. Jason Scheer also tried to torpedo his own mentions when he Tweeted, "Washington is recognized by both the Big 10 and Pac-12 as having more value than Oregon."

The SEC announced they would only be playing 8 conference games in 2024, despite the addition of Texas and Oklahoma to the rotation. This makes it possible for those bottom dweller SEC programs to beat four nonconference cupcakes, go 2-6 in conference and still make a bowl game.

They round out the show talking about Ryan's extended vacation, the Pac-12 paying $10 million to un-renovate their San Francisco offices, the Pac-12 Media Day moving to Las Vegas and the continued silence of commissioner George Kliavkoff on any and all topics including the most important one, the Pac-12's new media rights deal.

Pac-12 in last place in Power Five for annual revenue, more media rights rumors plus USC AD Mike Bohn resigns May 19, 2023

In this episode of the Podcast of Champions hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods return to talk about the newly released Pac-12 annual revenue numbers that while came in at record levels, are still dead last among the Power Five conferences with a $21 million gap per school between the Big Ten. The guys talk about what those numbers mean and how that gap is only going to increase with the new SEC and Big Ten media deals kicking in next year.

The guys also talk about the latest on the Pac-12 media rights front including interviews by Washington State president Kirk Schulz and Arizona State athletic director Ray Anderson, giving two very different timeline estimations for when this deal will finally get done. There is also a deadline looming if the Pac-12 wants to add San Diego State for the 2024 season, as the SDSU exit fee of $17 million to the Mountain West will triple on July 1.

Plus the Pac-12 is making some changes to enhance the television product for football games including putting microphones on players and coaches pregame and interviews with head coaches during games and the new proposed California legislation that would allow football athletes to share athletic department revenue.

At the very end of the podcast news broke that USC athletic director Mike Bohn was resigning. The guys give their quick reaction to this out of the blue story with the Trojan athletic department now in search of new leadership with a move to the Big Ten on the horizon.

UCLA wraps up spring football plus more media rights deal rumors May 11, 2023

In this episode of the Podcast of Champions hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods are back in studio talking about the final Pac-12 program to wrap up spring football, the UCLA Bruins. Head coach Chip Kelly decided to forgo any sort of spring game, instead opting to finish the spring workouts with a Friday morning practice in front of about 50 fans that featured some situational scrimmage situations including wide receiver and defensive back one-on-one drills.

Our own David Woods talks about UCLA's "15th training session" as Kelly called it, the starting quarterback battle, the reason the Pac-12 didn't televise the final practice and lots more.

The guys also discuss the ongoing saga of the Pac-12 media rights deal including an interesting report out of Utah that claims that Amazon is out and ESPN is still in, but the sports leader has a financial cap on their tier one offer.

They also talk about the Comcast overpayment mess, early odds to win the conference for all 12 programs and the crazy gambling scandals that are popping up across college athletics.

Pac-12 in the NFL Draft, transfer portal closes, the Colorado exodus plus Oregon spring game May 02, 2023

In this episode of the Podcast of Champions hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods are back in studio talking about the Oregon Ducks spring game that featured Heisman hopeful Bo Nix playing in front of 45,000 fans Saturday afternoon in Autzen Stadium. Dan Lanning's defense started out strong and kept the Ducks offense at bay in what turned out to be a low scoring affair with the Green team edging out the Yellow team 23-20. That leaves only UCLA as the lone Pac-12 program that has yet to complete spring football practice and as of now Chip Kelly has no plans to host an actual spring game.

The guys also talk about how the Pac-12 programs did in the 2023 NFL Draft with 9 of the 12 programs getting at least one player selected (only Arizona, Colorado and Washington did not). Oregon led the way with six overall selections followed by Stanford (!!!) with five, USC and UCLA with four, Utah with three and Oregon State with two. California, Washington and Arizona State each had one player drafted over the weekend.

Overall the Pac-12 had 27 players selected, the fewest among the Power Five conferences (SEC 62, Big10 55, ACC 32 & Big12 30).

The NCAA Transfer Portal spring window has now closed and no one saw more action in the country than Coach Prime and Colorado. We get an update from BuffStampede.com publisher Adam Munsterteiger about how many players left and where the Buffs go from here to completely rebuild the roster heading into the 2023 season. The guys also discuss the overall portal numbers and a few of the Pac-12 players that made moves late in the window.

More Pac-12 spring game recaps including 45,000+ fans in Colorado Apr 25, 2023

In this episode of the Podcast of Champions hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods are back in studio talking Pac-12 spring football with six more spring games occurring over the weekend including the sellout for the Colorado Buffaloes, 45,000+ fans to watch the debut of Coach Prime in Boulder. Despite four inches of snow falling and the field needing to be cleared, the Buffalos spring game spectacle went on as planned with ESPN broadcasting the entire event over two hours on Saturday afternoon. From one of the worst teams in college football history last season, Colorado now has a new sense of hope with the excitement around the program at historic levels, matching the increase in talent that Deion Sanders has brought in.

There were also five other Pac-12 spring games scheduled over the weekend with Washington, Washington State, Oregon State and Utah completing their spring with various events on Pac-12 Network plus Stanford holding more of a televised practice with three more spring practices left for Troy Taylor's squad. We also look back at the Arizona State spring that we didn't get to on last week's show.

The guys also talk about the latest reports regarding the Pac-12 media rights deal that suggests the conference could go with Apple holding all of the conference's tier one rights and a linear television partner that could be the CW. There is also a new lawsuit filed against the Pac-12 regarding the firings of a pair of former conference executives, Oregon State AD Scott Barnes is in stable condition after being hospitalized over the weekend, no more clock stoppages after a first down plus USC lands a five-star defensive tackle out of the NCAA Transfer Portal.

Spring game recaps from Arizona, California and USC Apr 19, 2023

In this episode of the Podcast of Champions hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods are back in studio talking Pac-12 spring football with three programs finishing up their spring workouts, Arizona, California and USC. The guys may not have watched these spring games (not even Ryan!) but they will discuss the biggest news and notes from the spring games as these three teams head into the long off-season. Hope springs eternal in the spring and with new faces on the roster the Sun Devils, Golden Bears and Trojans are all feeling optimistic about the changes that were made heading into the 2023 college football season.

The guys also talk about the spring window of the NCAA Transfer Portal opening, sparking two weeks of potential turmoil across the college football landscape. The biggest name to enter the portal is former five-star edge rusher from Washington Sav'ell Smalls. The most active program in the portal is no surprise, the Colorado Buffalos with Coach Prime making some moves including 12 more players leaving and an all-conference safety joining the ranks from the Mountain West.

Spring football updates from Colorado, Utah and Oregon plus media rights deal delay Apr 10, 2023

In this episode of the Podcast of Champions hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods are back in studio with even more spring football updates from around the Pac-12. Last week the guys heard from Oregon State, Washington, Washington State, California, Stanford, USC, UCLA, Arizona State and Arizona. This week they will finish off their Conference of Champions tour hearing from Colorado, Utah and Oregon.

The Buffs have the most excitement around their program with Coach Prime selling out the Colorado spring game, which will be broadcast live on ESPN. Oregon returns quarterback Bo Nix and is looking to taking its talented roster all the way to a Pac-12 title. Utah is coming off of back-to-back conference championships and with Cam Rising out, most of the focus will be on who wins the backup quarterback spot.

The guys also talk about the latest reports regarding the media rights deal with what everyone felt would be done within weeks now looks like it will take months. Multiple reports are pointing to a late spring or early summer timeline for when the new media rights deal will be announced, which will be about a year out of the expiration of the current deal. There was also another potential media partner named in reports, the CW Network.

Spring football updates from around the Conference of Champions Apr 06, 2023

In this episode of the Podcast of Champions hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods are back in studio talking once again about all things Pac-12 football. As we creep further into April (how did that happen so fast?) the guys reached out to the various publishers around the Conference of Champions to get updates on how spring football practice is going for each Pac-12 program. There are some new coaches, lots of new players and even a couple of new quarterbacks making their Pac-12 debuts so we get the skinny on how everyone is acclimating in their new environments and how much excitement and enthusiasm is being generated (here's looking at you Colorado).

The guys also talk about the impressive run future Pac-12 conference member San Diego State made in the NCAA Tournament, nearly bringing the first major championship to the Conference of Champions since USC won a football title in 2004 (the last basketball championship was Arizona in 1997).

Everything is still quiet on the media rights front but Dennis Dodd is reporting that the Pac-12 is more likely to have a much higher percentage of its games on streaming platforms rather than linear television. Will that be an issue, even if the money gets close to the Big 12 if the Pac-12 has more than half its games streaming and the Big 12 has less than 30%? We are all still waiting to see how much money these programs will make and how much national exposure they will enjoy in 2024 and beyond.

Future Pac-12 member San Diego State makes the Final Four Mar 29, 2023

In this episode of the Podcast of Champions hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods are back in studio with not a whole lot to talk about when it comes to how the Pac-12 fared during March Madness. No. 2 seed Arizona was out hours after the tournament began and No. 2 seed UCLA couldn't make it out of the Sweet 16, falling to recent nemesis Gonzaga. But soon to be Conference of Champions member San Diego State took care of business against No. 1 Alabama and made the Final Four for the first time in program history, so we are going to count that as a win for the Pac-12.

While there hasn't been any real news about conference realignment or a new media rights deal for the Pac-12, with SDSU making the Final Four it seems nearly impossible for George Kliavkoff and the Pac-12 presidents to not bring the Aztecs into the fold. Since 2010, San Diego State has the highest combined winning percentage of any Division I school in football and men's basketball at 73.8%, ahead of Ohio State (72.9%) and Oregon (71.1%). SDSU's academics are better, they have built a new stadium, the have beat Pac-12 teams on the gridiron consistently and bring a foothold back into the Southern California for recruiting, how could Kliavkoff say no?

Pac-12's March Madness flop and potential home stretch for a media rights deal Mar 21, 2023

In this episode of the Podcast of Champions hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods are back to talk about the disappointing opening weekend for the Pac-12 in the NCAA basketball tournament, with three of the four programs that made it to the Big Dance getting bounced out on Thursday/Friday. Arizona State did get a win in the First Four to advance to the field of 64, but lost a tough one against TCU. USC looked flat yet again and had no answers for tournament tested Michigan State who once again made it to the Sweet 16. The biggest flop came early on Thursday with Arizona as a No. 2 seed succumbing to No. 15 Princeton, which would have been the biggest upset of the tournament had it not been for No. 1 Purdue losing to No. 16 Fairleigh Dickinson.

The UCLA Bruins are the only Pac-12 program left in the field (unless you want to count San Diego State) and they will face off against Gonzaga in Las Vegas on Thursday. For the third season in a row the Bruins will face the Bulldogs having lost in Final Four of 2021 and in T-Mobile Arena last season. Overall UCLA is 2-5 against the Zags with three of those games in the NCAA Tournament.

The guys also talk about the latest rumors in the Pac-12 media rights negotiations saga, with the presidents of Arizona and Arizona State making statements about the deal being nearly done and still not a peep out of commissioner George Kliavkoff. Will he be able to pull off a lucrative deal that makes enough money for each athletic department to keep them competitive and also have enough exposure to keep West Coast football relevant? It appears that some sort of deal with ESPN, Amazon and Apple could accomplish that, but until something is announced we continue to await the fate of the Conference of Champions.

Podcast of Champions - Intrepid Basketball Report Ryan Abraham Reports on Location from Las Vegas Mar 10, 2023

In this episode of the Podcast of Champions hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods are recording remotely with Ryan at the Pac-12 Tournament in Las Vegas. The guys will talk about Ryan being a degenerate, the future of the Pac-12, Chip Kelly's contract extension, and will actually answer questions about basketball for the first and only time this season.

Ryan first talked about his first night in Vegas, which was a story of loss and sorrow. The boys then rebounded to talk about actual basketball for God knows what reason, before transitioning into Ryan's favorite topic: granular details about media rights. Trying desperately to save the show, the fells transitioned to questions from the listeners. They did not succeed in saving the show.

Pac-12 Football Media Day moves to Las Vegas Mar 02, 2023

In this episode of the Podcast of Champions hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods are back in studio trying to talk about anything but the potential demise of the Conference of Champions, which will be nearly impossible to do until a lucrative media rights deal is secured and the remaining 10 members are satisfied with the payouts. The guys start off the show talking about a move that everyone anticipated after the conference hired George Kliavkoff as commissioner, the Pac-12 football media day will be moving to Las Vegas! Ryan doesn't need much of an excuse to head to Vegas so he will be there, but will David be able to break away from his kids midweek for his final Pac-12 media day? We shall see.

While they are trying not to talk about the conference breaking up, they will discuss what some prominent members of the college football media and sports business reporters are saying about what potential media partners are available for Kliavkoff to team up with and what sort of deal he could expect with the 10 programs he has now or with the addition of others like San Diego State and SMU. Unfortunately, the current marketplace isn't favorable for the Pac-12 and that is one of the reasons the projections for the new media rights deal aren't very promising.

Unless Kliavkoff can pull something spectacular off, some sort of out of the box deal that delivers cash to his members and also gets their programs more visibility, the speculation surrounding schools leaving for other conferences will continue to grow. The best news for Kliavkoff is that the Big Ten still doesn't have a replacement commissioner for the outgoing Kevin Warren, but the Big 12 is like a wolf on the prowl and appears to be ready to pounce if any Pac-12 program isn't happy with the new deal.

Dave also provides some potential breaking news as he has heard that Utah and Colorado have already decided to leave the Pac-12. How credible is this information? Dave said he heard it from the same guy who told him two days before it happened that USC and UCLA were leaving, so we shall see.

We're not sure if Wednesday's Los Angeles hail storm was some sort of omen for the Pac-12, but Dave's Tweet of the storm did give us an unexpected glimpse into his backyard and maybe the reason why he wasn't a fan of the show, 'The Last of Us.'

Can George Kliavkoff pull off a miracle media rights deal for the Pac-12? Feb 23, 2023

In this episode of the Podcast of Champions hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods are back in studio talking about all of the buzz around commissioner George Kliavkoff and the remaining 10 Pac-12 programs that are desperately trying to work out a lucrative media rights deal. All eyes are on Kliavkoff who is trying to pull off some sort of miracle and get the Conference of Champions a television contract that will surpass the ACC and Big 12 and keep the Pac-12 members happy.

The guys discuss all of the reports and rumors that are floating around including partnering with Amazon or Apple for the first Tier One college football media rights deal on a streaming service, expanding the conference footprint to include Texas with SMU and Southern California with San Diego State and even forming some sort of merger with the Big 12, creating the first CFB super conference.

They also take a look at the state of mind of Oregon and Washington and if Ohio State cancelling the home and home with the Huskies will make anyone nervous in the Pacific Northwest.

Pac-12 Conference Board Members issue joint statement on pending media rights deal Feb 14, 2023

In this episode of the Podcast of Champions hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods are back in studio discussing the long and drawn out pending media rights deal for the Pac-12 conference. On Super Bowl Monday the Pac-12 Conference Board Members issued joint statement that addressed the long wait for an announcement on media rights, but it did little to give fans of the Conference of Champions confidence that a big payday for the remaining 10 schools is coming. According to the statement the media rights deal or deals would be done "in the near future," there have been "positive" conversations with "multiple potential media rights partners" and that the conference is "highly confident in our future growth and success as a conference and united in our commitment to one another."

The guys breakdown what they took away from this joint statement including the fact that it came from the board members and not commissioner George Kliavkoff. They also talk about what some of those outside of the Pac-12 footprint are saying, including projections of doom and gloom for the PAC.

Speaking of Kliavkoff, he was seen at a Southern Methodist basketball game and has reportedly been in conference expansion discussions with SMU and San Diego State. Some are speculating that the media rights delay is in part due to the need for increased game inventory and that Kliavkoff may need to add two more teams to have more games to sell to potential media partners.

They also talk about Utah quarterback Cam Rising tearing his ACL but still aiming for a return before the start of the 2023 season and Utes offensive coordinator Andy Ludwig not taking the same position at Notre Dame, in part because of his rather large buyout.

In this episode of the Podcast of Champions hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods are back in studio breaking down all of the news and notes from National Signing Day in the Pac-12 with 247Sports national recruiting editor Brandon Huffman. With his pulse on West Coast recruiting, Huffman goes over how each and every program in the Conference of Champions improved their roster through high school recruiting and the NCAA Transfer Portal.

They guys also talk about some of the news and notes from around the conference including Nick Saban and Alabama trying to poach Washington offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb, former five-star quarterback Sam Huard leaving the Huskies for Cal Poly and rumors about the upcoming Pac-12 media rights deal.

Pac-12 2023 football schedule release plus Pac-12 Network overpayment scandal Jan 26, 2023

In this episode of the Podcast of Champions hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods are back in studio discussing the newly released 2023 Pac-12 football schedule which appears to have been given some serious thought from George Kliavkoff and company. Colorado comes out of the gate with a tough slate in an attempt to capture all of the momentum of Coach Prime. Oregon has a lot of high profile matchups but they are spread out throughout the season including a bye before playing Washington. And USC's schedule is backloaded, closing the season with a series of ranked teams and a week 13 bye before a potential return to the Pac-12 Championship Game.

They guys also talk about George Kliavkoff firing a couple of Pac-12 Network executives that apparently helped the conference collect more money that was agreed upon in the contract with a media partner for years. What's an extra $50 million dollars between friends? Well Pac-12 schools are probably going to find out in the coming weeks.

As always Dave and Ryan spend the last part of the show answering your voicemails, texts and emails with questions about Pac-12 football plus lots of other topics.

Looking back on our 2022 preseason projections Jan 12, 2023

In this episode of the Podcast of Champions hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods are back in studio doing what many sports podcasts never do, going back and examining how their preseason projections for all of the Pac-12 football programs turned out. Before the season both Ryan and Dave predicted each and every football game in the Conference of Champions so we will see how close they were to calling how the 2022 football season would go.

They guys also talk about some of the other Pac-12 news and notes as we enter the long and arduous offseason with Coach Prime making headlines by spilling the beans on what could have been a potential week zero Colorado vs. Arizona State battle, Utah getting a couple of their star players to return plus Dan Lanning gets a tattoo that there is no turning back from.

Pac-12 finishes bowl season on a down note Jan 04, 2023

In this episode of the Podcast of Champions hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods are back in studio recapping the final five bowl games for the Conference of Champions including a pair of disappointing losses in New Year's Six bowls and a pair of late game collapses by the Los Angeles programs. Overall the Pac-12 went 3-4 in bowl games, an improvement over the 0-7 bowl record for the conference from the previous two seasons, but still a disappointing finish with USC losing to Tulane in the Cotton Bowl and Utah losing to Penn State in the Rose Bowl.

There was some good news for the PAC with yet another 1-point bowl win for Oregon (third in a row), taking down North Carolina in the Holiday Bowl and Washington's victory over Texas in the Alamo Bowl.

Beavers roll, Cougars crumble plus remaining Pac-12 bowl game previews Dec 20, 2022

In this episode of the Podcast of Champion hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods are back in studio recapping the first two Pac-12 bowl games with Oregon State absolutely crushing Florida in the Las Vegas Bowl and Washington State getting absolutely crushed by Fresno State in the Los Angeles Bowl. Newly extended head coach Jonathan Smith led the Beavers to an incredible 10-win season (including field goal losses to USC and Washington), setting OSU up for what should be another impressive season in 2023. Jake Dickert's Cougars have more work to do, replacing both coordinators plus several transfers and finding an offense that is capable of getting the ball down the field.

The guys also preview the final five bowl games for the Conference of Champions including Utah's second-straight Rose Bowl and USC heading to Texas for the Cotton Bowl.

Oregon got some good news this weekend when quarterback Bo Nix announced that he would be returning to the team in 2023. The Pac-12 quarterback situation is as bright as it has ever been with Nix, Michael Penix coming back at Washington and of course Heisman Trophy winner Caleb Williams at USC.

The UC Regents approved UCLA's departure for the Big Ten but the Bruins will likely be paying the University of California at Berkeley several million dollars per year to help out the Golden Bears athletic department.

Mike Leach tribute, Caleb Williams' Heisman, Stanford hires Troy Taylor & Pac-12 bowl previews Dec 13, 2022

In this episode of the Podcast of Champion hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods are back in studio talking about the Pac-12 landing a major award with USC quarterback Caleb Williams winning the Heisman Trophy, the first for the Conference of Champions since Marcus Mariota took home the hardware for Oregon in 2014. Williams nabbed 544 of the 929 first place votes and won all six regions while landing on 88.5% of the ballots (10th best all-time). Washington quarterback Michael Penix led the nation in passing yards and finished in the top-10 of the Heisman voting.

Later this week Oregon State will take on Florida in the Las Vegas Bowl and Washington State will face off against Mountain West Champion Fresno State in the LA Bowl. Ryan and Dave preview both of these match-ups and give their picks against the spread.

The guys also talk about some major coaching and player news throughout the Pac-12, starting with Stanford hiring Sacramento State head coach Troy Taylor to take over for David Shaw. They also discuss new Colorado head coach Deion Sanders filling out his staff and hitting the transfer portal and recruiting path with a purpose. Arizona State head coach Kenny Dillingham is also making some big hires including a couple from within the conference and a legendary Arizona high school coach.

There has also been some major roster movement in the Pac-12 via the NCAA Transfer Portal including a team captain leaving Tempe for Michigan and stud linebacker departing Stanford for Salt Lake City.

And sadly the guys talk about former Washington State head coach Mike Leach passing away at the age of 61. Ryan and Dave share some of their favorite stories about The Pirate whose wide open spread offenses changed college football as we know it today.

Utah wins second-straight Pac-12 Championship Dec 06, 2022

In this episode of the Podcast of Champion hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods are back in studio talking about the Utah Utes defeating the USC Trojans 47-24 in Las Vegas. The victory secured Kyle Whittingham's second-straight Pac-12 Championship and another Rose Bowl berth, this time against Penn State.

Colorado was also making noise in the Pac-12 footprint by hiring Coach Prime to take over the struggling football program. Deion Sanders is leaving Jackson State to come to Boulder and there will likely be a lot of roster turnover before the start of the 2023 football season. Ryan and Dave talk about this monumental hire in the Conference of Champions and why they think this can work for the Buffs.

The guys also go over where the rest of the Pac-12 programs are going bowling and how the Conference of Champions is being impacted by the newly opened NCAA Transfer Portal.

Pac-12 Championship preview for the USC Trojans vs. the Utah Utes Nov 30, 2022

In this episode of the Podcast of Champion hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods are back in studio previewing the Pac-12 Championship between the USC Trojans and the Utah Utes. These two squads faced off back on October 15 with Kyle Whittingham's Utes edging out Lincoln Riley's Trojans 43-42 on a two-point conversion with under a minute to play in the game.

The guys talk about how they think this match-up will go and make their pick against the spread, currently listed as USC -3 over Utah. They also discuss the Pac-12 decision to eliminate divisions in an attempt to create a better matchup that in this case potentially took away the more compelling game. With the division format USC would have won the South and faced off against Washington who would have won the North. The Huskies not only have one more win than Utah but they also have one of the most dynamic quarterbacks in the country, Indiana transfer Michael Penix.

Emergency POC - Wild ending to the Pac-12 regular season plus David Shaw steps down Nov 28, 2022

In this emergency episode of the Podcast of Champion hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods give their thoughts on the breaking news that Stanford head coach David Shaw announced he is stepping down from his position effective immediately. Saturday night the Cardinal fell to BYU at home 35-26 but Shaw said his decision was already made over the Thanksgiving weekend. Ryan and Dave talk about this major shakeup in the Pac-12 coaching ranks with the four-time Pac-12 coach of the year and winningest coach in Stanford history finally moving aside.

They also discuss the other major head coaching news with Oregon offensive coordinator Kenny Dillingham returning home to Tempe, taking over as head coach of the Arizona State Sun Devils. Dillingham was officially announced as ASU's head man just hours after the Ducks lost a stunner in Corvallis that, along with Washington's win in the Apple Cup, knocked them out of a chance to play for the Pac-12 Championship.

Oh, and there is also a ton of Pac-12 football the boys will recap including the Trojans putting a capper on an 11-1 season with a controlling win over Notre Dame, Utah scoring all the points against Colorado, Jedd Fisch getting some Territorial revenge and lots more!

Recapping USC vs. UCLA & Oregon vs. Washington plus final weekend preview Nov 24, 2022

Podcast of Champion hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods are back together again in studio recapping two of the most important match-ups of the 2022 Pac-12 football season, UCLA hosting USC at the Rose Bowl and Oregon hosting Utah at Autzen Stadium. Both games came down to the wire, though one was far more entertaining than the other, and both results went a long way to determining who would play for the conference championship in Las Vegas on December 2. With the victories by USC and Oregon the Trojans are in and the Ducks control their own destiny, getting in as the home team with a win in the Civil War against Oregon State on Saturday.

They also recap the other week 12 games in the conference including Washington steamrolling Colorado, Jayden del Laura imploding against his old WSU squad, Big Game 4th quarter drama and the Beavers cruising in the desert.

Looking ahead to the final weekend of the regular season the guys preview two Friday night games with the public California schools facing off against each other along with the Territorial Cup in Tucson. They also preview the Saturday rivalry games in Oregon, Washington and Colorado along with Stanford vs. BYU and USC vs. Notre Dame.

Pac-12 football chaotic week 11 recap and week 12 preview Nov 14, 2022

Podcast of Champion hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods are back together again in studio recapping what they thought would be an all chalk Pac-12 football weekend with heavy home favorites cruising to victories. Turns out, week 11 was total chaos with Conference of Champions cannibalism going on, knocking out two of the three hopefuls for the Pac-12 to make the College Football Playoffs for the first time since 2016.

Things got off to a rocky start Friday night with Colorado leading USC 3-2 after the first quarter. The Trojans righted the ship and blew out the Buffs as expected, but it set the table for a bad vibes Saturday for two of the other title contenders. Oregon had the marquee matchup with Washington, but the Ducks were still two touchdown favorites at home. The Huskies had other plans and pulled off the stunning upset thanks to another huge night from transfer quarterback Michael Penix. With Oregon losing, it opened up conference championship opportunities and eliminated some strange tiebreakers for the LA schools. In one of the Pac-12 After Dark games UCLA couldn't take advantage and fell to three touchdown underdog Arizona, putting their Pac-12 title on life support.

Week 12 features another full slate of Pac-12 games with a virtual semifinal that has USC travelling to the Rose Bowl to take on UCLA and Utah heading to Eugene to take on Oregon.

Podcast of Champion hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods are back together again in studio recapping what started off as a competitive Pac-12 football weekend with a compelling Friday night game between Washington and Oregon State but quickly turned into what was mostly blowout central on Saturday. After an impressive run picking against the spread last weekend Ryan and Dave struggled in their predictions for week ten.

Week eleven is another full slate of Pac-12 games kicking off on Friday again with USC and Colorado followed by some potential clunkers on Saturday outside of the main event, Oregon hosting Washington in one of the best rivalries in the conference.

Halloween POC - Pac-12 football week nine recap and week ten preview Oct 31, 2022

Podcast of Champion hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods are back together again in studio recapping another exciting weekend of Pac-12 football that featured five games, four with double-digit spreads and four road favorites notching victories. The action got started on Thursday night with a hobbled Utah squad that took down Washington State in Pullman despite the biggest surprise of the weekend, star quarterback Cam Rising who was a game time scratch.

On Saturday the Ducks continued their winning ways with an 18-point road win over Cal in which Bo Nix accounted for six touchdowns including three on the ground. USC was also banged up heading into the desert without top starters on both sides of the ball, but was still able to hold on for an 8-point win over Arizona. In the interim head coaching bowl Arizona State outlasted Colorado in Bounder and UCLA decimated Stanford at the Rose Bowl.

The guys also discuss the Big 12's new media rights deal and what they think it means for the Pac-12 and Stanford stamping out fun by banning the Tree mascot for the rest of the season. Plus with Oregon, Utah, USC and UCLA 15-0 against the rest of the conference, which program has the best shot to knock off any of the top-4? And congrats to Oregon State who entered the AP top-25 despite being on a bye week!

Looking ahead to week ten all 12 teams are in action featuring Oregon State at Washington on Friday night.

Pac-12 football week eight recap and week nine preview Oct 27, 2022

Podcast of Champion hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods are back together again in studio recapping another exciting weekend of Pac-12 football that once again showed how important home field advantage is in the conference. Week eight had only four contests and three of the four home teams notched victories with the lone road team (Washington) failing to cover the 7.5 point spread at Cal. The marquee match-up was of course the Bruins on the road at Oregon leaving the Ducks as the lone Pac-12 team left undefeated in conference play. There are some wild scenarios for which two teams make the conference title game in this first season with no divisions with UCLA, Oregon, USC and Utah as the main teams in contention to make it to Las Vegas.

The guys also discuss what Pac-12 commissioner George Kliavkiff had to say at basketball media day including comments about his letter to the UC Board of Regents that asked the board to block the Bruins from leaving the conference. He also doubled-down on his statement that UCLA would be worse off financially leaving for the Big Ten than it would be staying in the Pac-12.

Looking ahead to week nine we get things started with a tough road test for Utah heading to Pullman to play Washington State on Thursday night followed by what mostly look like lopsided contests on Saturday outside of the interim coach bowl with Arizona State at Colorado.

Pac-12 football week seven recap and week eight preview Oct 17, 2022

Podcast of Champion hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods are back together again in studio recapping another exciting and bizarre weekend of Pac-12 football. Week seven was about as upside down as you could have imagined with the two bottom dwellers of our POC Power Rankings securing victories. It was once again a great week for home teams with all four Pac-12 match-ups going to the home squad. It was also another good week if you were an interim head coach as Colorado's Mike Sanford got an emotional victory over California in his first game running the Buffs. And even the team that should have an interim head coach got a win with Stanford shocking Notre Dame on the road, scoring only one touchdown but still getting its first victory over an FBS opponent since early last year.

The guys also take a look at the marquee game in the Pac-12 with Utah edging out an exciting one-point win over USC in Rice-Eccles Stadium.

Looking ahead to week eight there are just four games in the conference with the big one being UCLA heading to Oregon with College Game Day making a West Coast appearance for the first time this season.

Pac-12 football week six recap and week seven preview Oct 10, 2022

Podcast of Champion hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods are back together again in studio for a special early week edition of the show where they break down all of the Pac-12 football action from week 6 and preview what is to come in week 7. The LA schools are on their way out in 2024 but they are apparently trying to exit in style with both USC and UCLA sitting at 6-0 for the first time since 2005. The Oregon Ducks have bounced back from their 46-point beatdown at the hands of Georgia and look like legit conference title contenders and ASU interim head coach Shaun Aguano got his emotional first win.

As cool as it was for the Sun Devils to get an upset win over nationally ranked Washington just a couple weeks after Herm Edwards was fired, that result pales in comparison to what went down on the Farm in #Pac12AfterDark. The Oregon State Beavers scored three touchdowns in the final quarter including the game winner with 13 seconds left on their way to toppling Stanford 28-27. The Cardinal could taste the end of their 10-game losing streak to FBS programs, at least until they couldn't.

Pac 12 football week five recaps and week six previews plus Karl Dorrell fired at Colorado Oct 06, 2022

Podcast of Champion hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods once again have some breaking news to discuss with the announcement that Colorado has finally pulled the trigger and let head coach Karl Dorrell go. The Buffs are winless on the season, 0-5 total and 0-5 against the spread and the administration had no choice but fire him and try to move on from the terrible decision it was to hire Dorrell back in 2020.

In what was a home-dominated slate of games in the Pac-12 for week five with every road team losing, the guys recap all of the action from UCLA's dominate performance against Washington on Friday to Oregon putting a beat down on hapless Stanford late Saturday night. They also preview the all of the week six action that includes five games with both California and Colorado getting the week off (good news for the Buffs and interim head coach Mike Sanford).

PAC-12 football week four recap and week five preview Sep 29, 2022

Podcast of Champion hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods continued their tear picking the Pac-12 football games in week four with both hosts going 4-2 against the spread. The guys start off the show talking about how the first full week of Pac-12 play went, including an incredible showdown in Corvallis between USC and Oregon State, Washington State once again snagging defeat out of the jaws of victory (to Oregon's benefit) and California's impressive offensive explosion against Arizona.

The guys then focus their attention on some interesting match-ups in the Pac-12 for week five including a pair of undefeated teams facing off in the Rose Bowl with Washington visiting UCLA on Friday night. The Beavers will also try and bounce back by heading to Salt Lake City and facing the Utes who would love to avenge their OSU loss from last season. Please note the three Pac-12 After Dark games all feature point spreads of 17 points or more, so plan your evening accordingly.

Pac-12 football week three recap and week four preview plus Herm Edwards fired Sep 22, 2022

Podcast of Champion hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods bounced back significantly last week in their Pac-12 picks against the spread (9-2 for Ryan, 8-3 for Dave), even with their belief that Herm Edwards was somehow going to cover a 3-score spread against a team that featured actual human beings. Speaking of Herm, HE GONE! Arizona State finally pulled the trigger and let Herm go so the guys spend the top part of the show talking about the move, potential candidates and why they are not expecting the same treatment for Colorado's Karl Dorrell any time soon.

It was also a great weekend for the Pacific Northwest teams with everyone notching a victory including Oregon spanking a top-15 BYU squad and Washington jumping all over the overrated top-15 Michigan State Spartans (and no we don't think it was a on the downlow interview to join the Big Ten). This was the first time the Pac-12 has recorded two wins over ranked teams on the same Saturday in 9 years! They discuss those games and how the rest of the Conference of Champions fared as they wrap up the majority of the out of conference slate and turn towards conference play.

Speaking of conference play the guys make their picks against the spread for week four with six Pac-12 match-ups, highlighted by undefeated Oregon State hosting No.7 USC and undefeated Washington State hosting No. 15 Oregon. Please note that undefeated UCLA is going to Colorado but we don't recommend watching that.

Pac-12 football week two recap and week three preview Sep 15, 2022

Podcast of Champion hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods have been following this conference for years but somehow both are batting just .500 picking the games against the spread. This week they go back over week two and talk about how things unfolded for the Pac-12 including a huge win for Washington State at Wisconsin, another beatdown for Colorado and the first conference match-up between USC and Stanford.

The guys also take a look ahead to week three and once again give their picks for all Pac-12 games against the spread. The aforementioned Stanford has a BYE, but the rest of the conference is in action with some interesting non-conference games including Michigan State visiting Washington, Fresno State heading to the Coliseum, California on the road at Notre Dame, BYU visiting Oregon and Colorado on the road at Minnesota.

Pac-12 football week one recap and week two preview Sep 08, 2022

Podcast of Champion hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods are already in midseason form with their picks against the spread (meaning they are just as bad as they were last year). The guys do what they can to make sense of what happened in week one of Pac-12 play, where the conference went 9-3 overall but 0-3 against Power Five competition including blowout losses by Colorado and Oregon and a heartbreaking defeat by defending conference champion Utah.

The guys also take a look ahead to week two and make their picks against the spread including the first conference match-up of the season when USC hits the road to take on Stanford. They also give an update on the POC Survival Pool where the majority of listeners advanced thanks to the Cardinal beating Colgate, but we did lose a couple contestants including one sicko who took Colorado to beat TCU in week one.

The guys make all of their picks against the spread for the annual season-long contest plus they reveal their survival pool selections for week one.

The guys also discuss where the Pac-12 stands now with both Oregon and Washington having reported talks with the Big Ten and the Big 12 moving up its media rights negotiation window in attempt to put the screws to the Conference of Champions.

Previewing the 2022 Pac-12 college football season for Arizona State, Utah, Oregon, Washington State, Stanford & Cal Aug 18, 2022

In this edition of the Podcast of Champions hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods are back in studio continuing their previews of the six remaining Pac-12 programs with Arizona State, Utah, Oregon, Washington State, Stanford and California. The guys hear from experts from each program's 247Sports website talking about the strengths and weaknesses of each program heading into the 2022 college football season.

The guys also talk about the newly released media rights deal for the Big Ten that includes Fox, CBS and NBC and what it could possibly mean for the Pac-12. ESPN being left out of the deal should be a good thing for the Conference of Champions, but with the other three major networks involved in the B1G, there are less available options for commissioner George Kliavkoff to explore. Plus the UC Board of Regents weighed in on UCLA leaving Cal behind and the guys talk about what was said at that meeting (not that either of them went) and if they feel there is a chance the Bruins get forced to stay (walking away from a half a billion dollar Big Ten deal is VERY unlikely).

They also talk about the new AP Poll that has Utah at No. 7, Oregon and No. 11 and USC and No. 14., the Athletic's look at the past 10 years of the Pac-12 Network plus David thinks about who his POC cohost would be if UCLA stays in the Pac-12 and USC (and Ryan) leave for the Big Ten.

Previewing the 2022 Pac-12 college football season for Arizona, Colorado, Oregon State, Washington, USC and UCLA Aug 11, 2022

In this edition of the Podcast of Champions hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods are back in studio (after a week off) giving a quick recap of what they saw at Pac-12 Media Day with commissioner George Kliavkoff addressing the state of the conference and declaring war on the Big 12. They also start their college football 2022 season previews for half of the conference with reporters from Arizona, Colorado, Oregon State and Washington checking in along with previews from USC and UCLA from Ryan and Dave.

The guys also talk about the latest news on the television market front with ESPN dropping out of the Big Ten's next media rights deal. Fox continues to be a major player for the B1G but now CBS and NBC will be involved showing conference games as well. This will have an impact on the Pac-12's media rights negotiations, but no one knows how much. On one hand ESPN now needs more inventory which could be good for the Conference of Champions, but with CBS and NBC no longer on the table there will likely be less competition for ESPN and less incentive to pay more for the Pac-12's media rights.

They also talk about the slowdown in conference realignment talk and now both feel what we have with USC and UCLA in the Big Ten and the Pac-12 with 10 schools is likely to be the new norm going forward (until something crazy happens and then it isn't).

2022 Pac-12 Media Day Preview - All eyes on George Kliavkoff Jul 28, 2022

In this edition of the Podcast of Champions hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods are back previewing what should be an extremely interesting and informative Pac-12 Media Day where we will hear from commissioner George Kliavkoff for the first time since it was announced that USC and UCLA were leaving for the Big Ten in 2024. Last year Kliavkoff was on the job for less than a month when he addressed the media, fielding questions about NIL, conference expansion thanks to Texas and Oklahoma announced they would join the SEC and why Washington State head coach Nick Rolovich wouldn't be attending Media Day in person. We thought 2021 was a crazy first year for the commissioner, but with two of the biggest brands leaving the conference 2022 says, 'hold my beer.'

The guys also talk about what they expect to hear about the LA schools bolting, the negotiations for the new Pac-12 television contract, what's next for conference expansion and what sort of reaction they expect from coaches and players that aren't leaving the conference (as of now).

Cooling off period for conference realignment Jul 14, 2022

In this edition of the Podcast of Champions hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods are back talking about how things have seemingly settled down on the conference realignment front, two weeks after both USC and UCLA announced they would be leaving the Pac-12 and joining the Big Ten. The guys talk about some of the options out there for the next steps including the Pac-12 merging with another conference, the Pac-12 making a loose alliance with another conference, the Pac-12 raiding another conference, the Pac-12 getting raided by another conference or the Pac-12 standing pat with 10 teams. There could be some big news dropping any moment, but more than likely the college football landscape will stay this way for a while until something else big happens and we start all over again.

The guys also discuss yet another terrible tragedy for the conference with Oregon tight end Spencer Webb passing away after a cliff diving accident. He was 22 years old.

They also talk about which Pac-12 programs have had the most 1,000,000+ viewers for their football games recently (with some surprises for sure), the University of California Board of Regents taking notice of the Bruins leaving California behind, the Big 12 media days kicking off with talk of expansion plus how conferences and television networks view football brand vs. television markets.

Pac-12 expert John Canzano discussing options to keep the conference afloat Jul 07, 2022

In this edition of the Podcast of Champions hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods welcome in special guest John Canzano to talk about last week's bombshell news that USC and UCLA would be leaving the Pac-12 for a much bigger payday in the Big Ten. Within the first 48 hours of the news breaking Canzano wasn't very optimistic that the Pac-12 would continue to exist after 2024, but since then he now feels that commissioner George Kliavkoff will be able to pull something together and keep the Conference of Champions afloat, one way or another.

We get into several topics with John, including the viability of this West Coast conference without the Los Angeles market and what sort of options there are out there, starting with a partnership with the ACC. Adding schools to the ACC would be tough with their TV deal lasting until 2036, but there are opportunities to for the Pac-12 and ACC to work together, scheduling games and even having potential post season match-ups between the top teams from each conference squaring off in Las Vegas. This sort of out of the box thinking would give ESPN more programming and the Pac-12 (and ACC) more revenue.

They also talk about what potential expansion for the Pac-12 will look like, what Oregon and Washington's best options are, if he thinks the mountain and desert schools will leave for the Big 12, what could happen with the Bay Area schools and of course how Washington State and Oregon State are in limbo waiting for all of the dust to fall in order to find out their fate.

EMERGENCY POC - USC and UCLA are leaving the Pac-12 for the Big Ten Jul 01, 2022

In a rare EMERGENCY edition of the Podcast of Champions hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods, who had wished Pac-12 commissioner George Kliavkoff a happy one year anniversary earlier in the week, now try to make sense of the horrific anniversary present that arrived on his door step courtesy of the Los Angeles schools. We are of course talking about the college football bombshell first reported by Jon Wilner and later confirmed by all parties involved that the University of Southerner California and the University of California, Los Angeles would be leaving the Conference of Champions and joining the Big Ten conference.

The guys talk about what this means for the landscape of college football and compare this event with a major one from 11 months ago when Texas and Oklahoma decided to leave the Big 12 and join the SEC. They also go through each Pac-12 program one by one and discuss what this means for them. The unquestionable winners in this transaction are USC and UCLA, but there are some Pac-12 programs that are positioned really well to land in a soft spot, while others are on much tougher footing and may need a miracle to retain Power Five status.

There is also the question about the future of the Podcast of Champions, considering the conference could be in major trouble and the two hosts will be covering teams that are no longer in the Pac-12. We don't have any answers for you yet, but we still have a couple of years (both teams leaving in 2024) to come up with a solution.

Happy one year anniversary to Pac-12 commissioner George Kliavkoff! Jun 28, 2022

This week Podcast of Champions hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods wish Pac-12 commissioner George Kliavkoff a very happy one year anniversary. If you recall Kliavkoff officially took over for the embattled Larry Scott on July 1, 2021, right at the time that college football went from a silly sport to certifiably insane one. Corresponding with his start date, the NCAA permitted all student athletes to profit off of their Name, Image and Likeness but provided very little in the form of rules and guidelines. The sport was also rocked when Texas and Oklahoma decided to leave the Big 12 and enter the SEC plus a new 12-team college football playoff format was announced and then quickly shot down and fought over for several months before ultimately being shelved.

They also take a look at what Kliavkoff had to say in one of his many "year in review interviews," this time with friend of the podcast Jon Wilner where he talked about changing the entire collegiate model, how the conference had a bit of a COVID hangover that isn't finished yet and the better communication between the conference office and the individual campuses.

The guys also discuss the change at the top of the Pac-12 power structure, the Big 12 reportedly finding their next commissioner, the ACC releasing a new division-less football schedule for 2023 and Pac-12 teams involved in some of the most anticipated games of the 2022 college football season.

Betting lines for the top Pac-12 games in 2022 plus Kyle Whittingham gets a raise Jun 23, 2022

This week Podcast of Champions hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods take a look at some of the early betting lines for some of the most intriguing matchups for Pac-12 programs and see how they have changed from when they first came out to now following all of the roster adjustments thanks to the NCAA Transfer Portal. We also discuss Utah head coach Kyle Whittingham getting another contract extension and raise thanks to the Utes Rose Bowl appearance, making him one of the highest paid coaches in the conference.

They also take a look what Pac-12 commissioner George Kliavkoff had to say about NIL and his thoughts on what needs to be changed going forward plus his idea to separate major college football from the rest of the NCAA sports programs.

The guys also recognized the 50th anniversary of Title IX and discuss the plans the Pac-12, Big Ten and ACC have to celebrate it over the next year, they name most impactful transfer for each Pac-12 program plus the conference finally gets an official grocery chain partner (not a joke, its Sprouts).

Analyzing how the Pac-12 programs have navigated the NCAA Transfer Portal in 2022 Jun 11, 2022

This week Podcast of Champions hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods take a look at how each of the Pac-12 football rosters have changed over the past six months with players leaving and joining programs through the NCAA Transfer Portal. Our friend Chris Karpman from SunDevilSource compiled this massive list that shows all of the additions and subtractions for each of the Pac-12 squads. Five of the 12 programs in the conference ended up with top-25 transfer classes, trailing only the SEC for most teams in the top-25 with six.

They also take a look at the upcoming Pac-12 media rights deal and discuss how the upcoming Big 10 deal could have a major impact on which options commissioner George Kliavkoff could have access to in order to finally boost conference revenues.

With Name, Image and Likeness dominating the college football headlines, Ryan and Dave give their thoughts on how NIL is changing the sport and what changes, if any, they would like to see plus USC chief of staff Brandon Sosna, the architect of the Lincoln Riley hire, is leaving for a front office position with the Detroit Lions.

As always Dave and Ryan spend the last part of the show answering your voicemails, texts and emails with questions about Pac-12 football plus lots of other topics.

Early season Pac-12 football TV times released Jun 02, 2022

This week Podcast of Champions hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods discuss the newly released early season Pac-12 television schedule that includes several high profile matchups against traditional powers from other Power Five conferences. It could be an incredible showcase for the Conference of Champions if the teams from the West Coast are able to notch a few notable victories or it could be a mitigated disaster for commissioner George Kliavkoff and the Pac-12.

They also take a look at the Pac-12 bowl schedule for the 2022 season that includes the rare January 2 Rose Bowl. The five bowls line up well for the Pac-12, getting to face a local Group of Five opponent from the Mountain West in the Los Angeles Bowl followed by four bowl games facing opponents from the other four Power Five conferences (Las Vegas vs. SEC, Alamo vs. Big 12, Sun vs. ACC & Rose vs. Big 10).

Which Pac-12 teams will step up and make it to those bowl games (or even a college football playoff appearance)? Jon Wilner recently broke down the Pac-12 football schedule strength so Ryan and Dave chime in and give their thoughts on all of the programs from the easiest schedule (UCLA) to the toughest schedule (Colorado).

Pac-12 revenue drops to last place in the Power Five plus future conference schedule ideas May 25, 2022

This week Podcast of Champions hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods discuss a report by Jon Wilner that shows how the conference revenue fell significantly in 2021 thanks to the shortened COVID-19 football schedule in 2020 that saw most teams only play a handful of games. Wilner points out that the shortfall over the next four years will be significant, dropping the Pac-12 below the ACC into last place and leaving EACH Pac-12 program earning more than $100 million less than schools from the SEC and Big 10 over that span.

They also take another look at the conference's decision to remove division winners from the Pac-12 Championship game and they debate what scheduling changes can be made for the future including a pods system that would group the Pacific Northwest, California and Mountain/Desert schools together and a "flex" schedule that could leave a couple of weeks open at the end of the season for games arranged on the fly. Dave even throws out a World Cup model where the conference holds group play for three weeks and then have programs advance from there into a mini tournament.

247Sports came out with new NCAA Transfer Portal rankings and Ryan and Dave see where the Pac-12 teams are ranked and which top-100 players the conference picked up.

George Kliavkoff chops divisions for title game plus Jimbo Fisher goes nuclear May 19, 2022

This week Podcast of Champions hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods are both on the podcast, just not at the same time. The show starts off with Ryan diving into all of the news and notes around the conference and college football starting with the emerging SEC head coaching feud between Alabama's Nick Saban and Texas A&M's Jimbo Fisher. Saban accused Fisher of buying all of the players in the Aggies's No. 1 ranked recruiting class and Fisher responded by calling Saban a narcissist that was lashing out because he's the college football czar that didn't get his way. Absolutely wonderful college football content in the middle of May.

The big conference news came from commissioner George Kliavkoff on Wednesday when he announced that the Pac-12 Championship Game would no longer feature the top program from the North facing the top program from the South, instead opting for the two teams with the best conference winning percentage regardless of what division they reside in. This new rule would have altered the championship game participants in 5 of the last 11 seasons.

Ryan also addresses the breaking news that Biletnikoff Award winning wide receiver Jordan Addison pulled the trigger and picked the Trojans for his final season in college football.

Dave finishes off the show answering all of the listener questions from the past two weeks plus he talks about the report that stated Chip Kelly's offensive play cards while at Oregon were meaningless, used only for a distraction for the opponent.

Pac-12 spring games wrap up with Cal and Washington May 05, 2022

This week Podcast of Champions hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods give a detailed recap of the final two Pac-12 spring games in the conference, California and Washington. Cal is looking at Purdue transfer Jack Plummer to potentially replace POC favorite Chase Garbers while Washington has a three-way QB battle going on to ring in the new Kalen DeBoer era. The guys also breakdown how the conference did in the NFL Draft (not well) with the fewest picks since the conference expanded to 12 teams. UCLA led the way with six players selected and even though Oregon sent the most players to the NFL Combine, the Ducks had just one player selected (though he did go No. 5 overall).

Unfortunately there is more turmoil to talk about at Arizona State with freshman All-American linebacker Eric Gentry leaving for division rival USC and potential All-American defensive tackle Jermayne Lole also hitting the NCAA Transfer Portal. ASU AD Ray Anderson also had some hypocritical things to say about cracking down on cheaters in the conference at the Pac-12 spring meetings according to a report by friend of the pod Bruce Feldman.

There is also discussion about Biletnikoff Awarding winning wide receiver Jordan Addison entering the transfer portal and USC's involvement in trying to get him to relocate to Los Angeles.

Huge spring game weekend in the Pac-12 Apr 27, 2022

This week Podcast of Champions hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods give a detailed recap of the bevy of Pac-12 spring games held over the weekend. Half of the conference had various versions of their spring games/practices televised on Saturday with UCLA, Utah, Colorado, Oregon and Washington State on the Pac-12 Networks and USC on ESPN. It was a magical weekend for Ryan, getting to watch so much spring football in one day, and a dreadful day for Dave who had to cover UCLA's spring practice in person.

The guys dive into the NCAA Transfer Portal, talking about Jon Wilner's piece on the portal winners and losers in the Pac-12. They also preview the NFL Draft and talk about the four Pac-12 players that are projected to go in Thursday's first round. 247Sports put out their post-spring top-25 poll and three Pac-12 teams made the cut plus beleaguered NCAA president Mark Emmert has announced he will step down next year (if not sooner).

More NCAA Transfer Portal troubles in Tempe plus Oregon State spring game recap Apr 22, 2022

This week Podcast of Champions hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods breakdown the newest batch of bad news for the Arizona State football program, two prominent players choosing to enter the NCAA Transfer Portal following the conclusion of spring football. Wide receiver Ricky Pearsall (ASU's top receiver and originally from Tempe) and linebacker Eric Gentry (consensus freshman All-American) have both decided to enter the portal. From SunDevilSource's Chris Karpman: "They would have been two of the team’s most important players. Things are going from bad to worse for the Sun Devils."

They also recap the lone spring game for the Pac-12 this past weekend, the Oregon State Beavers. OSU still three healthy quarterbacks now, giving last year's starter Chance Nolan some competition in practice. The Beavs also have a more aggressive defense under new defensive coordinator Trent Bray. Coming up this weekend there are six more Pac-12 spring games: UCLA, Utah, USC, Colorado, Washington State and Oregon will all be in action on the Pac-12 Networks (except USC will be on ESPN).

Finishing off the show the guys discuss two articles featuring Pac-12 programs this week, the fall of Colorado's football program over on the Athletic and USC head coach Lincoln Riley talking about life throwing him a curveball over on the Players Tribune.

Pac-12 spring game recaps for Arizona, Arizona State and Stanford Apr 14, 2022

This week Podcast of Champions hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods dive into spring football in the Pac-12 with Arizona, Arizona State and Stanford all hosting their spring games over the weekend shown live on Pac-12 Networks. To be fair, David hates spring games so it is mostly Ryan giving his thoughts on what he saw from the broadcasts, read in the recaps and heard from the players and coaches who talked about how the spring session went. Arizona and Stanford combined for just four wins in 2021 but there is still a lot of optimism on both campuses that these programs can turn things around and have a winning campaign in 2022. Arizona State went 8-5 last season and lost more than half of its coaching staff and its star quarterback Jayden Daniels, but there is optimism in Tempe as well with talk of more team chemistry than ever before for Herm Edwards' squad.

They also discuss the lone upcoming spring game for the Pac-12 this weekend, the Oregon State Beavers which will be live on Pac-12 Network on Saturday at 11 a.m. PT. Speaking of the Beavers, they missed out on the top remaining quarterback in the NCAA Transfer Portal, former USC and Georgia gunslinger J. T. Daniels. West Virginia won the sweepstakes to land Daniels, so Oregon State will either stick with one of the quarterbacks on the roster or find someone else from the portal before the beginning of May deadline.

Which Pac-12 school has the best tailgating experience? A listener wrote in with his thoughts so Dave and Ryan chime in talking about what they like to do on gamedays at the various Pac-12 schools.

Projecting the over/under for Pac-12 football 2022 win totals Apr 07, 2022

This week Podcast of Champions hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods are taking a look at the 2022 Pac-12 football season and projecting the win totals for each team. Our colleagues at 247Sports put out their Pac-12 over/under win totals and the guys go through each program's schedule and make their prediction for more or less wins than what the line was set at.

They also discuss the breaking news that Pac-12 commissioner George Kliavkoff has decided to do away with the expensive office space in San Francisco and instead is moving the conference into a remote work environment. Friend of the show Jon Wilner wrote that between Larry Smith's salary and the over the top rent, the Pac-12 spent an extra $70 million over Scott's tenure, or about $1 million per school per year.

Pac-12 spring games kickoff this week with Arizona, Arizona State and Stanford holding games on Saturday, all of which will be broadcast on the Pac-12 Network. We also would like to thank listener Scooter McGavin for emailing us a list of each Pac-12 football coach and describing what type of lover they would be, content you can only get here on the POC.

No deep March Madness run for the Pac-12 & spring practice reports Mar 28, 2022

This week Podcast of Champions hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods return to put a bow on the Pac-12 2021-2022 college basketball season, with USC losing in the first round and both Arizona and UCLA getting knocked out in the Sweet 16. The guys normally don't discuss basketball on the podcast (for good reason) and after a major drop-off of listener questions following our previous basketball episode, we can safely say this is the final time basketball becomes an actual topic on the show.

With basketball far in the rearview mirror, we can get to the task at hand, football and off-season nonsense topics like Disney princesses and Civil War generals. Starting with football, Ryan checked out reports from all 12 football programs in the Conference of Champions and passes along what he was able to learn. As of now 8 of the 12 teams have already started spring football practice with three more starting this week and California starting next week.

Pac-12 Tournament recap from Las Vegas plus Jayden Daniels heads to LSU Mar 15, 2022

This week Podcast of Champions hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods do the unthinkable, they talk about Pac-12 basketball! Both of the POC hosts were in Las Vegas for the Pac-12 basketball tournament so the guys give their thoughts on how the top teams looked including the three teams that made it to March Madness, Arizona (No. 1 seed), UCLA (No. 4 seed) and USC (No. 7 seed). Can the Conference of Champions make another run to the Final Four and maybe even cut down the nets for the first time since 1997? We shall see starting on Thursday when the first round of the NCAA Tournament kicks off.

They also talk about former Arizona State quarterback Jayden Daniels deciding to go to LSU from the NCAA Transfer Portal. Daniels won't walk into Batten Rouge as the clear starter, but he will have the opportunity to compete for the job and play a very tough SEC schedule down there. Ryan thinks Daniels has a shot to be the man at LSU after the change in scenery while Dave thinks he won't start a game for his new squad.

Projecting the Pac-12 preseason standings for the North and South divisions Mar 03, 2022

This week Podcast of Champions hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods give their thoughts on Phil Steele's prediction of the preseason AP Poll top-10 that included both Utah and Oregon and not USC. Spinning off of that, the guys take their prediction game one step further as they take a crack at what they think the media will pick for the order of the Pac-12 North and South division races. Both guys agree with the teams at the top and the bottom of the each division, picking Oregon to win the North and USC to win the South, with Stanford pulling up the rear in the North and Colorado finishing at the bottom of the South.

They also touch on some of the assistant coach movement drama with Vic So'oto leaving Colorado after two months and heading to California and what head coach Karl Dorrell had to say about the move followed by So'oto's rebuttal. Lastly they discuss the details of UCLA head coach Chip Kelly's contract extension and Arizona head coach Jedd Fisch's positive one-on-one interview with 247Sports.

The POC Pac-12 Tournament meet-up is at the "BetMGM Sportsbook & Bar" in Park MGM casino on Thursday, March 10, 2022 starting at 2pm PT.

The official post-season top-10 POC listener rankings Feb 17, 2022

This week Podcast of Champions hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods don't really have much to talk about after finishing off their off-season reports for all of the Pac-12 football programs over the past three weeks. Luckily, superfan Shane provided us with a topic to discuss this week, his list of post-season top-10 POC listeners (which instantly becomes the official Podcast of Champions list since both Ryan and Dave certainly don't remember who writes into the show every week). Once again Shane did a nice job composing the most notable people to take part in the show in 2021, tabulating all of the data and presenting it with colorful prose so the two hosts don't have to do anything but read it.

The guys also discuss the pending B1G television rights deal that, according to reports, will surpass the $1 billion mark for a single year (remember Larry Scott was proud of $3 billion over 12 years before), the status of UCLA's defensive coordinator vacancy, a big name in the NCAA Transfer Portal and even a little about the upcoming Pac-12 basketball tournament (not long though, no worries).

Off-season reports for the Northern and Southern California Pac-12 football programs Feb 10, 2022

This week Podcast of Champions hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods finish with their off-season report series by discussing the two Northern California and two Southern California Pac-12 football programs. They first welcome in Jackson Moore who publishes the Stanford and California 247Sports sites, breaking down what the Cardinal and Golden Bears did during the off-season. Neither program changed head coaches or coordinators despite posting losing seasons and Moore gets into the personnel turnover for each team.

They end the series talking about the two programs they cover, USC and UCLA. The Trojans made some major off-season moves bringing in Lincoln Riley, an almost entirely new coaching staff and 13 players from the NCAA Transfer Portal including star quarterback Caleb Williams. The Bruins extended head coach Chip Kelly and are still looking to fill both coordinator roles, but with Dorian Thompson-Robinson returning UCLA should once again be a factor in the South.

Off-season reports for the Desert and Mountain Pac-12 football programs Jan 25, 2022

This week Podcast of Champions hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods welcome in several experts on the show to provide actual information for our POC listeners. We are beginning our off-season reports for all of the football programs in the Pac-12, going over the various coaching changes and of course the significant roster turnover with recruiting, graduations, NFL defections and most importantly the NCAA Transfer Portal. This week we are getting updates on the Desert and Mountain schools starting with Jason Scheer talking about Arizona's off-season, Chris Karpman breaking down everything going on with Arizona State, Dan Sorensen giving us the lowdown on all things Utah and our man Adam Munsterteiger getting us up to speed on what Colorado has been doing.

Utah is the class of the group, coming off a conference championship and Rose Bowl appearance, and the good news is most of that team and coaching staff is coming back for another run at Pasadena or maybe even the playoffs. Arizona was 1-11 but they are winning the off-season with great staff additions, amazing recruiting and home runs in the transfer portal. Arizona State is in a bit of wait-and-see mode with a decision from the NCAA coming potentially in the next few months and Colorado made some good staff additions but has lost a lot of players to the transfer portal this cycle.

Pac-12 quarterback shuffle, Chip Kelly extension looming and Arizona's major roster turnaround Jan 13, 2022

This week Podcast of Champions hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods return to the studio to bring fans of the Conference of Champions up to speed on all the latest news and notes from the Pac-12 including some significant roster turnover (both good and bad) at several programs. The guys start the show discussing Dan Lanning (or Lan Danning as Dave likes to say) heading to Eugene after winning a national championship as Georgia's defensive coordinator. They then switch to some UCLA news including head coach Chip Kelly reportedly working with the school for a contract extension and quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson announcing the he would be returning to Westwood to finish out his collegiate career.

Speaking of quarterback news, Arizona head coach Jedd Fisch continues to make waves in the conference, this time by pilfering Washington State quarterback Jayden de Laura and bringing him to Tucson. The Wildcats have made the most improvements to their roster so far, with a top-20 recruiting class plus tons of bluechip additions through the NCAA Transfer Portal. The guys also discuss USC's situation with Jaxson Dart entering the portal and whether star Oklahoma quarterback Caleb Williams will replace him for the Trojans.

Recapping the Pac-12's dismal post-season Jan 06, 2022

This week Podcast of Champions hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods are back for the first POC episode of the New Year, recapping how the Conference of Champions did in the bowl season (spoiler: it was not good). For the second year in a row the Pac-12 failed to secure a bowl game victory, going 0-5 in 2021 (after an 0-2 2020) including Washington State failing to score in the first half against Central Michigan as a 7.5-point favorite. The Utes also appeared to have the Rose Bowl secured, with multiple 14-point leads over the Ohio State Buckeyes, but the defense wasn't able to come up with many stops and a late field goal put Utah away, sending the Pac-12 home yet again without a bowl win.

The guys also talk about UCLA cancelling the Holiday Bowl at the last minute, Washington State finding a replacement after Miami dropped out of the Sun Bowl due to COVID-19 concerns, what Pac-12 commissioner George Kliavkoff thought about the disappointing bowl record and what programs need to do going forward to have better results in football plus Arizona State apparently getting ready to self-sanction ahead of any NCAA decision on their investigation into illegal recruiting during the lockdown.

As always Dave and Ryan spend the last part of the show answering your voicemails, texts and emails with questions about Pac-12 football plus lots of other topics.

This week Podcast of Champions hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods are back together in studio breaking down what turned into an absolute beatdown week in the Pac-12, with Utah, California, UCLA, Oregon State and Washington State all winning by at least two touchdowns (and most of them by far more than that). By taking down Oregon in bloodthirsty fashion the Utes have vaulted themselves to the top of our Power Rankings and now have to be considered the favorite to take home their first Pac-12 Championship.

The guys also talk about the Conference of Champions being shut out of the College Football Playoff for the fifth-straight time, UMass hiring away Arizona defensive coordinator Don Brown, Washington State becoming bowl eligible, the resurgence of the Golden Bears after their COVID-19 outbreak and their push to make the post season plus picks against the spread (both Dave and Ryan went 4-2 last weekend).

This week Podcast of Champions host Ryan Abraham goes solo talking about the biggest news in the Pac-12 with Washington head coach Jimmy Lake being fired one week after he was suspended by the school. UW now joins USC and Washington State as the Pac-12 programs that have fired their head coaches midseason in 2021, setting up what should be a very interesting Apple Cup next week (host David Woods coined the game as the "Application Bowl" on Twitter).

Ryan also talks about the poor television quality of Pac-12 games shown on ESPN, the scenarios in which Oregon and Utah can win the North and South divisions this upcoming weekend, which Pac-12 programs are bowl eligible (ASU, Oregon, Oregon State, UCLA and Utah) and which ones are eliminated (Arizona, Colorado and Stanford). Plus he goes over the latest Podcast of Champions Power Rankings, breaks down all of the week 11 action in the conference and previews all of week 12 including three rivalry games.

Pac-12 football week 10 recap and week 11 previews Nov 11, 2021

This week Podcast of Champions hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods get to talk about something that they haven't been able to in over two years, a win on the football field for the Arizona Wildcats! Sure it took half of Cal's team being out of commission due to a COVID-19 outbreak, but Jedd Fisch got his first win as a college head coach and there is no place to go but up from here for the Cats!

Speaking of COVID-19, Cal had 44 players and coaches test positive so its game against USC had to be postponed until December 4, the day after the Pac-12 Championship. The guys talk about that plus big news at Washington where offensive coordinator John Donovan was fired and head coach Jimmy Lake was suspended for a game for pushing his own player after the Huskies lost to Oregon. Oregon State also tossed its hat into the assistant coach firing ring, letting go defensive coordinator Tim Tibesar after giving up 37 points to Colorado.

The guys also reveal the double winners in our Survivor Pool, with Sinjin and Dustin each getting $200 in gift cards from Jockey for their efforts! Plus Jim Mora gets the head coaching job at UCONN and Oregon is up to No. 3 in the College Football Playoff Rankings.

And as always they spend time answering all of the questions the listeners manage to send in, including text messages and voicemails!

Pac-12 football week 9 recap and week 10 previews Nov 03, 2021

This week Podcast of Champions hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods came back down to earth with their picks against the spread and continue to be baffled by the up and down nature of this crazy Conference of Champions. For the 5th week in row our No. 1 team in the POC Power Rankings lost, this time Oregon State to a 2-5 California squad.

Dave and Ryan breakdown what was a crazy mess of week 9 games including Oregon allowing Colorado to score TWENTY NINE (29) offensive points, Arizona coming within a touchdown of ending its 19-game losing streak and plus Washington and Stanford playing an unwatchable Pac-12 after dark game.

The guys also discuss Oregon making the top-4 of the initial College Football Playoff rankings, former USC head coach Clay Helton getting the head job at Georgia Southern, and Jimmy Lake's crazy comments heading into the Oregon/Washington game.

Pac-12 football week 8 recap and week 9 previews Oct 27, 2021

This week Podcast of Champions hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods are back with a little pep in their step after combining to go 9-3 in their picks against the spread last week (Ryan 5-1, Dave 4-2). Can the guys keep that momentum going into a full week 9 slate of games with no Pac-12 programs on BYE weeks? Most likely not, but they will for sure give it the minimal effort per usual.

Dave and Ryan do have a lot of things to say about that crazy week 8 in the Conference of Champions including Arizona coming ever so close to its first win in over two years, Oregon State flexing its muscles against our previous No. 1 team Utah and Oregon taking care of business against UCLA (before trying to give the game away at the end).

The guys also discuss Pac-12 reporter Kyle Bonagura's telling story inside the firing of former Washington State Nick Rolovich, Colorado trying to fix its woeful offense by firing its offensive line coach and we still have eight listeners left in our Survivor Pool.

And as always they spend time answering all of the questions the listeners manage to send in, including text messages and voicemails!

Nick Rolovich fired plus our Pac 12 football week 7 recaps and week 8 previews Oct 19, 2021

This week Podcast of Champions hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods are back at it discussing the breaking news that Washington State has fired head coach Nick Rolovich and four of his assistant coaches for cause because they failed to follow the state mandate and get vaccinated. They discuss where this Cougars program goes from here and how Rolovich's conspiracy brain won out over logic and common sense, throwing away his $3 million yearly contract to coach football.

Dave and Ryan also try to make sense of this crazy Pac-12 conference where each week the No. 1 team in our Power(less) Rankings loses its match-up, the latest being Arizona State blowing a 21-7 lead on the road against Utah. The guys talk about that game and the other week 7 contests including the showdown of the century, No. 12 Arizona getting absolutely boat-raced on the road against No. 11 Colorado.

The crew also preview and make their picks against the spread for week 8 with two programs, USC and Washington State, playing out of conference foes and two others, Arizona State and Stanford, enjoying BYE weeks.

Pac-12 football week 6 recap and week 7 previews Oct 13, 2021

This week Podcast of Champions hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods are licking their wounds after going a collective 1-7 picking Pac-12 games against the spread, with Dave coming in at a perfect 0-4. Each week the Conference of Champions makes less and less sense, with teams looking great one week and terrible the next. Both Ryan and Dave breakdown the four games in the Pac-12 that featured another beatdown for the Trojans in the Coliseum, another record-setting loss for the Arizona Wildcats and a Beavers squad that was flying high and has now come back down to Earth.

The guys also preview and make their picks against the spread for week 7 with USC and Oregon State on their BYE weeks. This week Ryan and Dave picked 4 of the 5 games differently, so their could be some fireworks when we get the results this weekend.

Pac 12 football week 5 recaps and week 6 previews Oct 06, 2021

This week Podcast of Champions hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods are in back in studio once again trying to make sense of the Pac-12 conference, with the top-two teams from our Pac-12 Power Rankings losing. Looking up and down both divisions, it appears that any program is capable of beating any other program (OK maybe not Colorado or Arizona) and that will likely means the chaos continues for the entire season. Does this mean the Pac-12 is once again out of the College Football Playoff race? We all know the answer to that.

The guys also preview and make their picks against the spread for week 6 and only four games on the docket with California, Colorado, Oregon and Washington on their BYE weeks.

And as always they spend time answering all of the questions the listeners manage to send in, including text messages and voicemails!

Pac-12 football week 4 recap and week 5 previews Sep 29, 2021

This week Podcast of Champions hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods are in studio discussing the first full weekend of Pac-12 conference play, going over the good, the bad and the ugly. Unfortunately there was plenty of ugly to go around including Arizona going two calendar years without a win on the football field, Colorado going 24-straight possessions without scoring a point (a Pac-12 record) and the Trojans getting throttled at home by the Oregon State Beavers.

They also preview and make their picks against the spread for what should be an interest week five for the conference that includes just five games because both Utah and Arizona are on a BYE this weekend.

Pac-12 football week 3 recap & week 4 previews Sep 22, 2021

This week Podcast of Champions hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods are in studio breaking down what was an extremely rough Saturday night for the Pac-12, with the Pac-12 South losing all five of its out of conference games, dropping the conferences OOC record to a putrid 23-27. The Conference of Champions only has one undefeated team remaining heading into the meat of conference play, the Oregon Ducks.

As our friend Jon Wilner pointed out, the Pac-12 has lost to 6 Power Five opponents, 5 Mountain West teams, 3 times to BYU alone plus two FCS opponents (and a partridge in a pear tree). The guys talk about the disappointing end to the Pac-12's weekend, some shakeup at quarterback for several schools and of course they look ahead to week 4 and make their picks against the spread.

Pac-12 football week 2 recap and week 3 previews Sep 15, 2021

This week Podcast of Champions hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods are in studio trying to make sense of this crazy conference that is the Pac-12. In week 1 the North crashed and burned and in week 2, with UCLA on a BYE, the South followed suit and fell flat on its face. The Ducks got another signature win for the conference, but another College Football Playoff contender USC got blasted by Stanford.

The guys also discuss the breaking news that the Trojans have finally fired Clay Helton (much to the chagrin of Dave) and talk about some potential candidates to take over at USC, they reveal the Power Rankings that are clear at the top and bottom and messy in the middle and of course they look ahead to week 3 and make their picks against the spread.

This week Podcast of Champions hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods are in studio once again breaking down what was an incredible week one in the Pac-12, at least if you are a fan of the UCLA Bruins. Pac-12 North fans most likely had a bad taste in their collective mouths with the division going 1-5 and the lone win was a 4th quarterback Oregon comeback over Fresno State. The Pac-12 South fared much better, going 5-1 including UCLA's impressive domination of LSU in the Rose Bowl.

The guys also breakdown the newest AP Poll that saw Washington drop out after losing to Montana (!!!) and UCLA jump in, they reveal the Pac-12 Players of the Week, share their POC Power rankings, make their picks against the spread for week 2 the and lots more!

Predicting program records and division standings for each Pac-12 program heading into the 2021 season Aug 27, 2021

This week Podcast of Champions hosts Ryan Abraham is solo with David Woods out because he is in a "protocol" according to his publicist. The show must go on however, so Ryan dives into all of the juicy Pac-12 football news and notes that Dave despises so much, including starting quarterback news at Utah and Arizona, The Alliance that formed between the Pac-12, Big 10 and ACC, the Pac-12 deciding not to expand and of course Washington State head coach Nick Rolovich getting prickly with the mandatory vaccine mandate handed down by the Governor of Washington.

They also make all of their picks for each Pac-12 football program for the 2021 season including the division winners and overall conference winner. With Ryan doing the show solo, Dave's publicist sent in his picks and Ryan went through them on the show. Both hosts agree on the conference champion but disagree on the Pac-12 South winner.

And as always they (or just Ryan this week) spend time answering every single question listeners manage to send in, including text messages and voicemails!

This week Podcast of Champions hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods return to the studio to preview the 2021 college football season for the six Pac-12 South teams: USC, Arizona State, Utah, UCLA, Colorado and Arizona. Will the Trojans win the conference or is this finally the year that Clay Helton is fired? Can Arizona State block out the distractions and bust through to win the division? Can Utah get back to its winning ways? Is this the year Chip Kelly wins an out of conference game? Will Karl Dorrell prove his 4-1 regular season in 2020 wasn't a fluke? Arizona will end it's losing streak, but how many games can Jedd Fisch win in year one at the helm?

They also discuss the preseason AP Poll with 5 Pac-12 teams making the cut (Oregon at No. 11, USC at No. 15 and Washington at No. 20, Utah at No. 24 and ASU at No. 25), a couple of significant injuries from fall camp, a potential alliance between the Pac-12, the Big 10 and the ACC and lots more!

Would an alliance between the Pac-12 and Big 12 make sense? Aug 04, 2021

This week Podcast of Champions hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods return to the studio to discuss the recent meeting between Pac-12 commissioner George Kliavkoff and Big 12 commissioner Bob Bowlsby and what it could mean for the Conference of Champions going forward. Could there be a merger between the two conferences? Maybe something as simple as a scheduling agreement between the two conferences? Or any sort of alliance that would help the two Power Five conferences combat the already huge Big Ten and the huge and growing SEC.

The guys also discuss the new NCAA COVID-19 requirements for student athletes and the vastly different protocols for the vaccinated and the non-vaccinated, the Pac-12's Olympic success in Tokyo, the Texas senate going off on the University of Texas and lots more!

Pac-12 Media Day recap plus thoughts on George Kliavkoff Jul 29, 2021

This week Podcast of Champions hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods return to the studio to breakdown all of the interesting news and notes from Pac-12 Media Day 2021. It started off with new conference commissioner George Kliavkoff addressing the media 30 minutes after Texas and Oklahoma announced they had officially asked to join the SEC. Things got more interesting when Washington State head coach Nick Rolovich addressed the room via Zoom because he has yet to receive the vaccine and wasn't allowed to attend the conference in person.

The guys also discuss what they think about the new direction of the conference, from one of parity under Larry Scott to a focus on championships for the revenue sports under Kliavkoff. Ryan also had an opportunity to meet with the new commissioner while he was on the first stop of his listening tour at USC and he shares his first impressions after that one-on-one conversation.

Pac-12 Media Day preview and why WSU's Nick Rolovich won't be in attendance Jul 21, 2021

This week Podcast of Champions hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods return to discuss the breaking news that Washington State head coach Nick Rolovich will not be attending Pac-12 Media Day in person because he has not been vaccinated against COVID-19. The guys were going through the Pac-12 Media Day release right after it was sent to the media and noticed that there was a note indicating that Rolovich would be doing interviews via Zoom. Neither host knew why but within minutes Rolovich's statement hit Twitter: "I have elected not to receive a COVID-19 vaccination for reasons which will remain private."

While the guys have a field day with that news, they also go on to discuss what could be another conference realignment wave with both Texas and Oklahoma having potential interest in leaving the Big12 and joining the SEC. The Pac-12 tried to bring in both of those programs back with the league was the Pac-12, but when the deal fell through added Colorado and Utah instead. They also talk about name, image and likeness deals including Alabama's Bryce Young reportedly getting close to $1 million in NIL money before he even started a game for the Tide.

Ding-Dong! The Witch Is Dead - Pac-12 fans everywhere rejoice as the Larry Scott era is finally over Jul 01, 2021

This week Podcast of Champions hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods celebrate the end of an era that went on far, far too long as Larry Scott is finally out as the Pac-12 commissioner. New Conference of Champions boss George Kliavkoff will have plenty of damage to assess from the work of his predecessor and Pac-12 fans are hoping he will be able to push the right buttons to get the conference back on track and on par with the rest of the Power Five.

July 1 also marks for the first day that college athletes will be allowed to profit off of their name, image and likeness after the NCAA punted and said schools can police themselves when it comes to NIL. Oregon recently signed an NIL law that also begins on July 1, but states like Washington, California, Arizona, Utah and Colorado with no active law could be better off since there are actually no state laws that need to be followed regarding NIL. Once the clock strikes midnight we expect all of the Pac-12 programs to be out on social media promoting their new NIL plans for their student athletes.

Could Pac-12 football lose divisions and drop a conference game plus Larry Scott's final gift to Pac-12 fans Jun 26, 2021

This week Podcast of Champions hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods discuss the Pac-12 athletic directors meeting with incoming commissioner George Kliavkoff and how the future of college football scheduling strategy could change with the likely expansion of the College Football Playoff from 4 to 12 teams. The ADs are considering a couple of options to help optimize the Pac-12's chances of making and succeeding in a 12-team playoff world, including eliminating the division model for the conference and dropping the required conference games for each program from 9 to 8.

Outgoing commissioner Larry Scott left Pac-12 fans with one final gift before he rides off with his moneybags into the sunset, declaring that the conference approves of the 12-team playoff model but wants to see all Power Five champions get an automatic bid. Dave and Ryan discuss how this makes the Pac-12 look weaker, showing no confidence that the conference champion would finish ahead of four of the Group of Five champions (two G5 champs would have to be ranked ahead of the Pac-12's champ for them to be left out of the playoff).

The guys also talk about Arizona State's COVID-19 recruiting scandal mess and how new reports have surfaced that could implicate more people higher up the food chain, two more Pac-12 teams announce full capacity crowds this fall, the NCAA getting dunked on by the Supreme Court plus NIL goes live in one week.

ASU in potential hot water with NCAA for recruiting violations during dead period Jun 17, 2021

This week Podcast of Champions hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods discuss the breaking and disturbing news surrounding Herm Edwards and the Arizona State football program, alleging that the Sun Devils hosted recruits on campus during the NCAA extended recruiting dead period. According to reports, ASU had dozens of recruits from all over the country on campus from October through February, including a huge weekend of visitors for the Sun Devils spring game.

There is reportedly a dossier of evidence that was sent to the NCAA laying out all of ASU's transgressions, breaking protocol during a global pandemic. During this period the Sun Devils miss three games in a row due to COVID-19 protocol, the only Pac-12 program to miss that many games in a row.

The guys also talk about what looks like the inevitable expansion of the College Football Playoff to 12 teams, something David calls "stupid." They discuss how this could actually be a positive for the Pac-12, with the potential to host a CFP game on the West Coast plus more money for teams in the conference with more teams in the playoff.

Recapping the 2021 NFL Draft for the Pac-12 football programs May 10, 2021

This week Podcast of Champions hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods give their thoughts on how the Pac-12 fared in the 2021 NFL Draft, with just three first round selections and 28 over all draft picks. Alabama alone had 6 first rounders and the SEC as a conference more than doubled the Pac-12's output, but there were other factors at play including a delayed and shortened season due to COVID-19 leading to fewer draft eligible Pac-12 players this year than last.

The guys also talk about four more Pac-12 teams having their spring games including Colorado, Oregon, Washington and Oregon State. The Buffs may have a different quarterback in 2021, the Ducks should get a star defensive player back, the Huskies have some returning veterans that could have been high NFL Draft picks while the Beavers limped into the spring game with a lot of injuries.

This week Podcast of Champions hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods are yet again doing the unthinkable, talking Pac-12 basketball! It was a historic run for the Conference of Champions with three teams (Oregon State, USC & UCLA) in the Elite Eight with only the Bruins punching their ticket to the Final Four.

The guys also talk about the search for the Pac-12 commissioner (thanks to more great reporting by Jon Wilner), discuss the tanking Pac-12 Network and what the new commissioner will need to do in order to salvage it, give a few updates on spring football from across the conference, host another theoretical Pac-12 mascot tournament battle plus lots of other topics that have nothing to do with conference athletics at all (like why everyone should pay their credit cards off, then we wouldn't see terrible Capital One commercials with all the A-list celebrities in them during the tournament).

This week Podcast of Champions hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods didn't know what the theme of the episode should be, so they went back to the subject line of Hythloday's email from last week, 'Asinus ad lyram.'

Recapping National Signing Day 2021 for the Pac-12 Feb 05, 2021

In this episode of the Podcast of Champions hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods give their analysis on how the Pac-12 faired out on the recruiting trail, recapping the 2021 National Signing Day for all of the conference programs. The Pac-12 produced two top-10 classes with Oregon coming in at No. 6 and USC at No. 8 in the 247Sports Composite Team Rankings. But the rest of the conference failed to crack the top-25 and many programs could be looking to the NCAA Transfer Portal to fill additional roster needs.

The guys also talk about some of the assistant coaching hires across the conference, rank the best Pac-12 coaches of all-time, read an interesting poem that perfectly captures Stanford's 4-2 season (and makes fun of our prediction of the Cardinal's 2020 demise) and lots more!

Larry Scott fired as Pac-12 Commissioner Jan 25, 2021

In this episode of the Podcast of Champions hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods talk about a day that was a long time coming, the firing of Larry Scott as Pac-12 commissioner. Champagne Larry was the highest paid commissioner in college football and was also the worst performing, from his failed Pac-12 Networks to officiating controversy to his lavish San Francisco offices that cost over $7 million a year in rent alone.

The guys talk about those and several other shortcomings for Scott, where the conference certainly needs to do better, the role the power programs have in turning things around and what direction they would like to see the Pac-12 CEO group go in picking Larry's replacement.

BREAKING: Pac-12 football is back this fall! Sep 25, 2020

In this special episode of the Podcast of Champions host Ryan Abraham is solo (sorry to all our David Woods fans) talking about the breaking news that the Pac-12 is now back playing football this fall! On Thursday afternoon the Pac-12 CEOs met and voted unanimously to play a seven game conference-only season starting on November 6 with a championship game on December 18, finishing up just before the College Football Playoff committee releases its final rankings on December 20. In theory, a Pac-12 team could now make the College Football Playoffs, but with only 7 games it will likely be a longshot. But for now, the Pac-12 is joining the other Power Five conferences in an attempt to finish the 2020 football season before Christmas, something that was unthinkable only a couple of weeks ago.
