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

Show notes

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.

Pac-12 commissioner search rolls on while UCLA goes from First Four to Final Four Apr 02, 2021

Show notes

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. After starting the show with the UCLA fight song, David pontificates on how the Bruins could topple mighty Gonzaga and Ryan wants to know if David would rather have UCLA get blown out by Gonzaga or lose a close title game.

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).

And as always they spend time answering every single question listeners manage to send in, including several text messages and voicemails!

Asinus ad lyram plus is Jayden Daniels the top returning Pac-12 QB? Mar 12, 2021

Show notes

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.' What does it mean? It really doesn't matter, right? It just sounded cool so that is the direction the guys went this week.

As far as Pac-12 football topics go, the guys get into the new naming rights deal for Washington State's football field, Alabama inside linebacker Brandon Kaho transferring to UCLA, USC quarterback Matt Fink hanging up his cleats, more offensive attrition for the Washington Huskies and if Jayden Daniels is the top returning quarterback in the conference.
