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.

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

Show notes

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

Show notes

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.

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

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

Show notes

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.

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

In the early games Coach Prime and Colorado are once again on the national stage as part of Fox's Big Noon Kickoff, hosting their longtime rival from the Big 8 days, the Nebraska Cornhuskers. Utah will also be on the road during that noon pacific timeslot taking on future conference foe Baylor.

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

Show notes

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.

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

After a week zero taste, Pac-12 football is fully back with 12 week one games to preview and pick Aug 31, 2023

Show notes

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.

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

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

Show notes

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.

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

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

Show notes

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.
