ESPN/SEC BIAS: Curt Cignetti SLAMS Playoff Poll; Bret Bielema, Kirk Ferentz AGREE!

Locked On Podcast Network — Wed, 11 Nov 2026 10:00:00 GMT

The SEC Bias promoted by ESPN with the latest college football playoff rankings is more obvious than ever as Indiana DROPPED 5 spots and is in danger of missing the college football playoff and they did NOT even play this past weekend. Big Ten coaches Curt Cignetti, Bret Bielema and Kirk Ferentz have all recently commented on the anti-Big Ten pro-SEC slant in college football. We will go over the latest college football playoff rankings with a fine-tooth comb.

On the flip side, the 9-0 UCLA Bruins did jump into the top 4 and Oregon and Iowa may have some life in the poll. Elsewhere, Michigan coach Kyle Whiitingham announced he is sticking with quarterback Tommy Carr over Bryce Underwood despite the change in offensive coordinator in Ann Arbor. And Ryan Day is sticking with Luke Fahey at quarterback instead of going with former 5-star Tavien St. Clair.

There is good news for Rutgers coach Greg Schiano! The school announced he will remain in place for the 2027 season. And in basketball Tom Izzo's point guard Jeremy Fears Jr. is the best point guard in the country. Michigan State just beat #2 Duke on Tuesday night.

And finally, speaking of polls, we announce a new number one team in our new weekly Big Ten football Power Rankings on Locked on Big Ten!

REACTION: Michigan State basketball DOMINATES Duke in Champions Classic; Jeremy Fears, Cam Ward ball

Locked On Podcast Network — Wed, 11 Nov 2026 03:28:05 GMT

Michigan State Spartans basketball dominate Duke with a wire-to-wire victory in the Champions Classic, sending a message to the national college hoops scene. Is this the most talented MSU roster in years? Jeremy Fears lights up the Blue Devils with 18 points and 11 assists, while frontcourt standouts Cam Ward and Jesse McCulloch hold Duke's star bigs in check. The elite backcourt of Fears, Jasiah Jervis, and Jordan Scott draws comparisons to legendary Spartan lineups, fueling hopes of a deep NCAA Tournament run.

The conversation focused on Michigan State’s suffocating defense, the impact of bench pieces like Carlos Medlock and Caleb Glenn, and whether Tom Izzo’s squad finally boasts more NBA-level talent than traditional powerhouse Duke. Several points were raised, including the frontcourt’s surprising resilience, the emergence of key freshmen, and the importance of depth as MSU eyes a No. 1 seed. Can this Spartans team break through to the Final Four once again?
