Summary
The 18-team Big Ten gets the SZD preseason preview treatment. What are reasonable expectations for last year’s title game teams, Michigan and Washington? (5:59) Is there any way things could go very badly for Ohio State and Oregon? (21:24) Will Penn State figure out a way to move the ball through the air? (34:54) Do we see a dark horse between the stylistically clashing Iowa, USC, and even Wisconsin? (39:02) How will life be for the Big Ten East non-contenders who have now seen that division go away? Is Indiana about to do something big?? (58:34) Will Nebraska break its bowl skid? We think so (73:49). Is UCLA closer to its 2023 record or everything that’s happened since? (78:31) David Braun’s debut at Northwestern was sizzling, but it might get harder now, while Minnesota, Purdue, and Illinois all face their own post-West challenges. (86:57). Then it’s time for SZD’s preseason Big Ten superlatives. Production by Anthony Vito.
