Big Ten football returns with heavyweight matchups and major questions: Can UCLA’s Bruins outduel the California Golden Bears in a battle of seasoned quarterbacks and new-look coaching staffs? Is Cal’s offense, powered by transfers like Ian Strong and Dorian Thomas, poised to shock the conference? The Big 10 Squad debates the hottest showdowns, bold picks, and the ongoing “beauty bias” hype around UCLA’s Bob Chesney.
From upset alerts with Michigan State vs. Toledo to whether Fresno State can spoil USC’s home opener, the crew forecasts which Big Ten giants might stumble against the spread. The panel spotlights quarterback battles, roster turnover, and quirky traditions—like on-air apple pie bets. Will Wisconsin hang with Notre Dame at Lambeau? Can Marshall or Indiana State cover massive lines? Dive in for sharp betting angles, rivalry banter, and comprehensive Week 1 predictions across the Big Ten landscape.

LSU football coach Lane Kiffin is pushing everybody's buttons within college football as he insists on bringing former NFL players to play college football at LSU. Meanwhile the SEC, Big Ten and the Power Four conferences are fed up with this and we state the case how this latest controversy may be what finally pushes the Big Ten and SEC to form a Super League where they can self-govern themselves.

There are also three Big Ten teams in action Thursday night for their college football season openers at Rutgers, Minnesota and Illinois. We preview all three games! And finally we look at the Big Ten Network's slate of Big Ten Classics and live play-by-play including a Big Ten college football triple-header on Saturday!
