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

Just not to belabor the point, I would add to the Penn State stuff, and I know it's a huge roster turnover, but Juan Rocco, back to my opinions, automatically the best quarterback they've had since Trace McSorley, and maybe he'll be better than Trace McSorley, who won a Big Ten title there.

And

at the end of last year and again everything that could have gone wrong for penn state in theory went wrong you look at like vegas power ratings all these advanced metrics they were a top 15 football team so like they were so much better than that seven and six record would indicate now you've got actual structure and organization and a coach who's on his p's and q's and a very manageable schedule and yeah i think 10 and 2 is very realistic and if you go 10 and 2

You're in the playoff.

I mean, to go back to your point earlier, Doug, I mean, I mentioned Michigan.

USC was in the playoff race until they lost to Oregon.

And shoot, if they just don't screw up at Illinois, they're in the playoff because they're a 10-2 Big Ten team whose only losses are on the road to Oregon and Notre Dame, which there's no shame in either one of those losses.

So USC, I think –

I wouldn't call them a dark horse because they're a blue blood.

I think that's a very good roster.

They were a lot better last year than I thought they would be coming in, and I think they'll be better again this year.

I just look at that schedule, and I have a hard time, especially –

not to play advocate to Lincoln Riley, but going to Penn state and going to Rutgers, like how much is he going to complain about traveling three times twice this year?

And how much did we hear him say?

I think it was at the end of last year where he's like, finally, all the pieces are in place for us to be who we are.

It's like,

Yeah.

Did Kirk Cignetti ever say that at Indiana?

And yet we hear about a reset at USC, Southern California.

Like, I don't want to hear any of that.
