It's the Lockdown Podcast Network, your team every day.
Oh, could this vintage store be any cuter? Right? And the best part? They accept Discover. Accept Discover? In a little place like this? I don't think so, Jennifer. Oh, yeah, huh? Discover's accepted where I like to shop. Come on, baby, get with the times. Right, so we shouldn't get the parachute pants? making a comeback. I think. Discover is accepted at 99% of places that take credit cards nationwide. Based on the February 2025 Nielsen Report.
The Big Ten will once again play for a national championship. Oregon or Indiana? Who advances? Ohio State did not. All that and more on today's Locked On Big Ten Squad.
You're talking ball with the Big Ten Squad. Sponsored by Game Time. From USC to Ohio State, from Michigan to Oregon, from Nebraska to Washington, it's the local experts of the Locked On Podcast Network bringing you scoops, breakdowns, and the most comprehensive preview of the upcoming Big Ten weekend. No hurt feelings and thin skin allowed. Squad Up, you're part of the Big Ten Squad.
Happy Friday, everybody. Welcome to this week's Locked On Big Ten Squad. I'm your host, Spencer McLaughlin. Craig Sheeman of Locked On Big Ten is here. Decked out in Indiana gear for his Indiana Hoosiers. Ryan Herrings of Locked On Badgers is here. Disappointed that we're not talking basketball. So is Zach Anderson-Yoxhammer of Locked On UCLA. Jay Stevens of Locked On Buckeyes has licked his wounds and shown up for the squad this week. And no such licking of wounds required for Jacob Goins of Locked On Buckeyes. We had Mark Culkin of Lockdown USC, and much like the Trojans in the Alamo Bowl, he bolted at the last minute. So, Craig, I'll start with you. The Hoosiers... The Hoosiers just completely and utterly dominated Alabama.
They were the much better football team, 38-3.
What did Indiana's victory over Alabama mean for the college football landscape?
Look, it's time to ask the question, should the SEC be allowed to get a team into the playoff? They can't be competitive. They are unable to put a product on the field that is worth watching. I mean, these are the sorts of questions we've got to ask now, right, Craig? Yeah, Caleb DeBoer is going to wish real soon he took that Michigan job, right? Because, I mean, the heat is going to be way up. And here's how far we've come in my world. I've been following the Hoosiers for five decades. I was upset in the second half. I was like, man, we gave up three. I mean, Oregon had a shutout earlier today. We gave up the three-pointer. This is why we're up by five touchdowns in the Rose Bowl against Alabama. I had to check myself and go, wait a minute, what world am I living in right now?
And I Also point out, Kurt Signetti, congratulations. The one and only coach in America to figure out how to handle a 26-day bye. He's the first one out of eight total coaches to figure it out. So congratulations to him. He is the best coach in America. It's actually eight total games and seven total coaches because Kirby Smart got bit by that twice. In a row, which is hard to believe. You said Kalen Nabor had some regret. Roman Tomashoff of Lockdown Huskies is here. Roman, should he have just never left Seattle? I mean, honestly, yes. This was one of the things where, even at the time, it was so ridiculous to think about because... doing that four days after a national championship, he would have had all the leash in the world here.
And now looking at just what he's, the kind of fire he's been under since the moment he arrived at Alabama, like even if you want to take out that first season, what it sounded like all year this year, If he never left UW, this never would have been an issue. I think that he still would have been able to build a consistent winner here. And it was very clear that he was on the right track after going 25-3 over his first two years. And the fact that he was just kind of like, no, I'm going to go try to fill the shoes of Nick Saban, it was just such a bad move on his part. Yeah, it's not. It can't feel great. I mean, they got better this year. They got to the quarterfinal, won a road playoff game.
