BIG 10 SQUAD: ESPN has INSANE SEC Bias | How this impacts College Football

Locked On Podcast Network — Thu, 06 Aug 2026 21:00:00 GMT

ESPN faces backlash over unchecked SEC bias, stirring questions about college football media narratives. The Big 10 Squad debates Peter Burns’ misleading SEC vs. Big Ten strength of schedule claims, examining how media giants influence perceptions and why networks like Fox and CBS hesitate to match ESPN’s promotional energy for the Big Ten. Ohio State’s and Penn State’s identical 9.5 win totals spark heated predictions. The roundtable breaks down Ryan Day’s daunting schedule—including Texas, USC, Oregon, and Michigan—and evaluates whether the Buckeyes can surpass lofty expectations or stumble amid fierce competition. Insights into Penn State’s revamped roster, key transfers, and Big Ten title aspirations add intrigue. Will Ohio State’s offensive line issues cost them a playoff shot, or does Jeremiah Smith’s star power make the difference? The hosts weigh bold over/under picks for the season ahead.
