The Bill and Doug Show: Ohio State Football Talk · Around the Big Ten: Playoff teams, coaching hires, dark horses and most important players · 18 Feb 2026 podcast

Like people loved him.

It is been virtually impossible.

to be a successful head coach in the Big Ten, whether it's a blue blood or not, without any of that experience.

Unless, again, if you're Ryan Day, Brett Bielema at Wisconsin, Pat Fitzgerald, where you're kind of groomed for that job and already have it.

So for whatever reason, it's worked in the SEC.

It has not worked in the Big Ten.

And that's why I think you've got to go with the experience if you're the Big Ten.

three legitimate right off the top of the head, the same three that made it each of the last two years, Indiana, Ohio state in Oregon.

I've got four that I think could realistically make it on top of that, but I don't know if I'd put money on that.

I mean, Penn state schedule is designed where I think as long as they don't screw up, they go 10 and two at worst.

And I know that's a big leap of faith to say about a team with a

To see what Penn State drew versus what Ohio State and USC drew, for example, as far as they're both Big Ten teams with Big Ten schedules, I mean, it's night and day.

I mean, coaches are going to be complaining about Penn State all year if they get in at 10-2.

But if they go 10-2 in the Big Ten, I think they'll get in.

I think USC and Michigan deserve to be talked about as playoff teams.

USC in particular, that schedule is a murderer's row where I just don't think they're going to –

escape with less than three or four losses even if everything goes right i would say similar for michigan and then washington's a team i would keep an eye on i think their schedule's fairly manageable you know relatively speaking i think damon williams is that good um it'll be interesting if he if he has that breakout year that i think a lot of us expect him to have yeah uh

What's that like, right?

I think that's a guy who probably more than any other player, at least publicly, had to win back over his locker room, given the shenanigans that happened where he re-signed, then decommitted, and then re-signed again and dropped his agent, or his agent dropped him, whatever it was.

But yeah, I think Judd Fish is a very good football coach.
