This week Podcast of Champions hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods are back at it discussing the breaking news that Washington State has fired head coach Nick Rolovich and four of his assistant coaches for cause because they failed to follow the state mandate and get vaccinated. They discuss where this Cougars program goes from here and how Rolovich's conspiracy brain won out over logic and common sense, throwing away his $3 million yearly contract to coach football. Dave and Ryan also try to make sense of this crazy Pac-12 conference where each week the No. 1 team in our Power(less) Rankings loses its match-up, the latest being Arizona State blowing a 21-7 lead on the road against Utah. The guys talk about that game and the other week 7 contests including the showdown of the century, No. 12 Arizona getting absolutely boat-raced on the road against No. 11 Colorado. The crew also preview and make their picks against the spread for week 8 with two programs, USC and Washington State, playing out of conference foes and two others, Arizona State and Stanford, enjoying BYE weeks. And as always they spend time answering all of the questions the listeners manage to send in, including text messages and voicemails!

Nick Rolovich fired plus our Pac 12 football week 7 recaps and week 8 previews

This week Podcast of Champions hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods are licking their wounds after going a collective 1-7 picking Pac-12 games against the spread, with Dave coming in at a perfect 0-4. Each week the Conference of Champions makes less and less sense, with teams looking great one week and terrible the next. Both Ryan and Dave breakdown the four games in the Pac-12 that featured another beatdown for the Trojans in the Coliseum, another record-setting loss for the Arizona Wildcats and a Beavers squad that was flying high and has now come back down to Earth. The guys also preview and make their picks against the spread for week 7 with USC and Oregon State on their BYE weeks. This week Ryan and Dave picked 4 of the 5 games differently, so their could be some fireworks when we get the results this weekend.

Pac-12 football week 6 recap and week 7 previews

This week Podcast of Champions hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods are in back in studio once again trying to make sense of the Pac-12 conference, with the top-two teams from our Pac-12 Power Rankings losing. Looking up and down both divisions, it appears that any program is capable of beating any other program (OK maybe not Colorado or Arizona) and that will likely means the chaos continues for the entire season. Does this mean the Pac-12 is once again out of the College Football Playoff race? We all know the answer to that. The guys also preview and make their picks against the spread for week 6 and only four games on the docket with California, Colorado, Oregon and Washington on their BYE weeks.  And as always they spend time answering all of the questions the listeners manage to send in, including text messages and voicemails!

Pac 12 football week 5 recaps and week 6 previews

This week Podcast of Champions hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods are in studio discussing the first full weekend of Pac-12 conference play, going over the good, the bad and the ugly. Unfortunately there was plenty of ugly to go around including Arizona going two calendar years without a win on the football field, Colorado going 24-straight possessions without scoring a point (a Pac-12 record) and the Trojans getting throttled at home by the Oregon State Beavers. They also preview and make their picks against the spread for what should be an interest week five for the conference that includes just five games because both Utah and Arizona are on a BYE this weekend. And as always they spend time answering all of the questions the listeners manage to send in, including text messages and voicemails!

Pac-12 football week 4 recap and week 5 previews

This week Podcast of Champions hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods are in studio breaking down what was an extremely rough Saturday night for the Pac-12, with the Pac-12 South losing all five of its out of conference games, dropping the conferences OOC record to a putrid 23-27. The Conference of Champions only has one undefeated team remaining heading into the meat of conference play, the Oregon Ducks. As our friend Jon Wilner pointed out, the Pac-12 has lost to 6 Power Five opponents, 5 Mountain West teams, 3 times to BYU alone plus two FCS opponents (and a partridge in a pear tree). The guys talk about the disappointing end to the Pac-12's weekend, some shakeup at quarterback for several schools and of course they look ahead to week 4 and make their picks against the spread.

Pac-12 football week 3 recap & week 4 previews

This week Podcast of Champions hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods are in studio trying to make sense of this crazy conference that is the Pac-12. In week 1 the North crashed and burned and in week 2, with UCLA on a BYE, the South followed suit and fell flat on its face. The Ducks got another signature win for the conference, but another College Football Playoff contender USC got blasted by Stanford. The guys also discuss the breaking news that the Trojans have finally fired Clay Helton (much to the chagrin of Dave) and talk about some potential candidates to take over at USC, they reveal the Power Rankings that are clear at the top and bottom and messy in the middle and of course they look ahead to week 3 and make their picks against the spread.

Pac-12 football week 2 recap and week 3 previews

This week Podcast of Champions hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods are in studio once again breaking down what was an incredible week one in the Pac-12, at least if you are a fan of the UCLA Bruins. Pac-12 North fans most likely had a bad taste in their collective mouths with the division going 1-5 and the lone win was a 4th quarterback Oregon comeback over Fresno State. The Pac-12 South fared much better, going 5-1 including UCLA's impressive domination of LSU in the Rose Bowl. The guys also breakdown the newest AP Poll that saw Washington drop out after losing to Montana (!!!) and UCLA jump in, they reveal the Pac-12 Players of the Week, share their POC Power rankings, make their picks against the spread for week 2 the and lots more!

Pac-12 football week 0 recap and week 1 previews

This week Podcast of Champions hosts Ryan Abraham is solo with David Woods out because he is in a "protocol" according to his publicist. The show must go on however, so Ryan dives into all of the juicy Pac-12 football news and notes that Dave despises so much, including starting quarterback news at Utah and Arizona, The Alliance that formed between the Pac-12, Big 10 and ACC, the Pac-12 deciding not to expand and of course Washington State head coach Nick Rolovich getting prickly with the mandatory vaccine mandate handed down by the Governor of Washington. They also make all of their picks for each Pac-12 football program for the 2021 season including the division winners and overall conference winner. With Ryan doing the show solo, Dave's publicist sent in his picks and Ryan went through them on the show. Both hosts agree on the conference champion but disagree on the Pac-12 South winner. And as always they (or just Ryan this week) spend time answering every single question listeners manage to send in, including text messages and voicemails!

Previewing the Pac-12 North teams: Oregon, Washington, California, Stanford, Washington State and Oregon State

This week Podcast of Champions hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods return to the studio to discuss the recent meeting between Pac-12 commissioner George Kliavkoff and Big 12 commissioner Bob Bowlsby and what it could mean for the Conference of Champions going forward. Could there be a merger between the two conferences? Maybe something as simple as a scheduling agreement between the two conferences? Or any sort of alliance that would help the two Power Five conferences combat the already huge Big Ten and the huge and growing SEC. The guys also discuss the new NCAA COVID-19 requirements for student athletes and the vastly different protocols for the vaccinated and the non-vaccinated, the Pac-12's Olympic success in Tokyo, the Texas senate going off on the University of Texas and lots more!

Would an alliance between the Pac-12 and Big 12 make sense?

This week Podcast of Champions hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods return to the studio to breakdown all of the interesting news and notes from Pac-12 Media Day 2021. It started off with new conference commissioner George Kliavkoff addressing the media 30 minutes after Texas and Oklahoma announced they had officially asked to join the SEC. Things got more interesting when Washington State head coach Nick Rolovich addressed the room via Zoom because he has yet to receive the vaccine and wasn't allowed to attend the conference in person. The guys also discuss what they think about the new direction of the conference, from one of parity under Larry Scott to a focus on championships for the revenue sports under Kliavkoff. Ryan also had an opportunity to meet with the new commissioner while he was on the first stop of his listening tour at USC and he shares his first impressions after that one-on-one conversation.  And as always they spend time answering every single question listeners manage to send in, including text messages and voicemails!

Pac-12 Media Day recap plus thoughts on George Kliavkoff

This week Podcast of Champions hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods return to discuss the breaking news that Washington State head coach Nick Rolovich will not be attending Pac-12 Media Day in person because he has not been vaccinated against COVID-19. The guys were going through the Pac-12 Media Day release right after it was sent to the media and noticed that there was a note indicating that Rolovich would be doing interviews via Zoom. Neither host knew why but within minutes Rolovich's statement hit Twitter: "I have elected not to receive a COVID-19 vaccination for reasons which will remain private." While the guys have a field day with that news, they also go on to discuss what could be another conference realignment wave with both Texas and Oklahoma having potential interest in leaving the Big12 and joining the SEC. The Pac-12 tried to bring in both of those programs back with the league was the Pac-12, but when the deal fell through added Colorado and Utah instead. They also talk about name, image and likeness deals including Alabama's Bryce Young reportedly getting close to $1 million in NIL money before he even started a game for the Tide.
