Ep 364Talking UCLA with Chip Kelly bailing for Ohio State and the Bruins replacing him with DeShaun Foster

In this episode of the Podcast of Champions hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods are in studio talking about this crazy February breaking news that Chip Kelly bailed on Westwood to take the offensive coordinator position with his buddy Ryan Day at Ohio State, leaving UCLA without a head coach.

Jarmond interviewed nearly a dozen potential candidates before landing on former UCLA running back and longtime assistant DeShaun Foster. Following the season Foster left Westwood to become the running backs coach at the Las Vegas Raiders, but was lured back for an opportunity to run the Bruins program as they head into the Big Ten.Dave and Ryan both give their thoughts on the hire and what challenges Foster will face taking over for a head coach that didn't recruit, didn't raise money and didn't leave much in the cupboard for Foster to compete in any conference let alone the stacked Big Ten.As usual Ryan and Dave end the podcast answering listener emails and questions from the YouTube chat.For the video simulcasts of our POC please subscribe to your YouTube channel!Please subscribe, give the POC a five-star rating and post a review on Apple Podcasts!Sound off about Pac-12 football in our Podcast of Champions Reddit page!

Ep 350Recap of the final Pac-12 football weekend w/ Oregon punching its ticket to play Washington in Vegas

In this episode of the Podcast of Champions hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods are back in studio recapping the very last Pac-12 regular season football weekend, not just for the season but unfortunately forever. We knew Washington had locked up the No. 1 seed for the Pac-12 Championship game but we didn't know who the Huskies would face. Now we do thanks to Oregon's beatdown of Oregon State in what could be the final game formerly known as the Civil War for the foreseeable future.Meanwhile the Huskies kept their playoff hopes alive with a narrow win in the Apple Cup over Washington State (luckily, that game is set to continue for at least the next five years). Arizona still had a shot at a conference championship until the Ducks took care of business, but that did not deter the Wildcats who absolutely dominated ASU in the Territorial Cup.A beat up Utah squad survived an upset bit from a beat up Colorado squad, Cal came into the Rose Bowl and gave the UCLA administration more to think about when it comes to keeping Chip Kelly into the Big Ten era plus Stanford got embarrassed by Notre Dame on the very last Pac-12 Network football broadcast.As usual Ryan and Dave end the podcast answering listener emails and questions from the YouTube chat.For the video simulcasts of our POC please subscribe to your YouTube channel!Please subscribe, give the POC a five-star rating and post a review on Apple Podcasts!Sound off about Pac-12 football in our Podcast of Champions Reddit page!

Despite a below average performance by Michael Penix and not scoring in the second half, UW was able to sneak out with a 22-20 win with the difference being a bad OSU punt snap that turned into a first half safety. No. 17 Arizona also made a statement by blowing out No. 22 Utah at home, jumping out 21-0 in the first quarter against a Utes squad that was once again banged up with key players out injured.In the rivalry games UCLA made a statement and rallied around embattled head coach Chip Kelly, blowing out USC 38-20 in the Coliseum while Cal went into Palo Alto and took down Stanford with few problems. No. 6 Oregon had no trouble in the desert, jumping out to a 42-0 halftime lead over Arizona State with Bo Nix throwing 6 touchdown passes and Washington State steamrolled Colorado to end the Cougs 6-game losing streak and giving the Buffs their 5th loss in a row.With one week left Washington has clinched its spot in Las Vegas and Oregon and Arizona are the only other two teams alive to face the Huskies.Ryan also talks about Cam Rising announcing his return to Utah, the latest AP Poll, the winner of our Pac-12 Survivor Poll plus OSU and WSU take another step towards becoming the Pac-12 in 2024.For the video simulcasts of our POC please subscribe to your YouTube channel!Please subscribe, give the POC a five-star rating and post a review on Apple Podcasts!Sound off about Pac-12 football in our Podcast of Champions Reddit page!

Ep 346Recapping Pac-12 week 11 games including Washington topping Utah and ASU's upset of UCLA

In this episode of the Podcast of Champions hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods are back in studio recapping what was a full slate of week 11 games in the Pac-12 that featured Washington's comeback home win against Utah, Oregon taking care of USC in Autzen and Arizona State's huge upset of UCLA in the Rose Bowl.The guys start off the show talking about the breaking news that Arizona State athletic director Ray Anderson has resigned and the Sun Devils will look for a new AD to lead the athletic program into the Big 12. Anderson shouldn't have been hired in the first place and the fact that he lasted for a decade is baffling, but ASU does have a young, up and coming head coach in Kenny Dillingham and he could use a similar AD to help the transition to the new conference and navigate the changing landscape around college football.Washington moved to 10-0 on the season after shutting down Utah in the second half in Seattle. Oregon got 400 passing yards from Bo Nix as they took care of business against USC in Eugene. Arizona got a scare on Boulder but held on to take care of Colorado thanks to a 10-0 run in the fourth quarter. UCLA couldn't find its offense while Arizona State utilized the swinging gate to keep the Bruins off balance en route to their 17-7 upset in the Rose Bowl. Washington State outplayed Cal in Berkeley but turnovers sunk the Cougars hopes of breaking their now 6-game losing streak. And Oregon State absolutely pasted Stanford 62-17 in Corvallis.The guys recap all of the action and reveal their latest Pac-12 Power rankings.As usual Ryan and Dave end the podcast answering listener emails and questions from the YouTube chat.For the video simulcasts of our POC please subscribe to your YouTube channel!Please subscribe, give the POC a five-star rating and post a review on Apple Podcasts!Sound off about Pac-12 football in our Podcast of Champions Reddit page!

Dave and Ryan give their reaction to the news right at the top of the show.The featured game of the day did not showcase a lot of defense and ended up being a fun duel between Heisman Trophy candidates Caleb Williams and Michael Penix with plenty of run game support including Dillon Johnson's 256 yards rushing and four touchdowns.

California and is resurgent offense pays a visit facing an extremely tough task, a stout Utah defense in Rice-Eccles Stadium.No. 19 Washington State returns home and tries to get a bounce-back victory with Arizona coming to Pullman. Both teams played in LA last week where the Cougars offense fell apart in the Rose Bowl and the Wildcats nearly pulled off the upset, losing in triple overtime in the Coliseum.The #Pac12AfterDark game has two more ranked teams facing each other with No. 18 UCLA heading to Pacific Northwest to face No. 15 Oregon State. The Bruins could have the best defense in the conference but winning against a hot DJU in Corvallis will be a tough task.The guys will preview all of the games and make their picks against the spread.As usual Ryan and Dave end the podcast answering listener emails and questions from the YouTube chat.DON'T FORGET TO ENTER YOUR PAC-12 SURVIVAL POOL PICKS HERE!!!For the video simulcasts of our POC please subscribe to your YouTube channel!Please subscribe, give the POC a five-star rating and post a review on Apple Podcasts!Sound off about Pac-12 football in our Podcast of Champions Reddit page!

Ep 336Recapping all of the week 6 Pac-12 football action including UCLA's D coming to play against WSU

In this episode of the Podcast of Champions hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods are back in studio recapping a slow week six in the Pac-12 with Oregon, Washington, Utah and Stanford on bye weeks and no ranked-on-ranked matchups taking place. Despite the lack of intrigue going into the weekend, there were some exciting finishes and results from all of the week six games, starting with a dominating defensive performance by the UCLA Bruins. Arguably no team was hotter than the Washington State Cougars but that hot streak ended Saturday in the Rose Bowl. Chip Kelly's squad isn't lighting up the scoreboard quite yet, but the defense is for real as Cam Ward and the Cougs found out.Coach Prime wasn't happy with the effort but his Buffs were able to go into Tempe and get the win against their future Big 12 foe Arizona State. Oregon State's defense took a few hits from California but the Beavers were able to push their record to 5-1 by hanging 50 on the Fighting Justin Wilcox's. The craziest game of the weekend came with three-touchdown favorite USC needing triple overtime and some untimely Jedd Fisch poor decisions to take care of Arizona in the Coliseum.The guys will recap all of the games, reveal their new Pac-12 Power Rankings and how their picks against the spread worked out for week six.As usual Ryan and Dave end the podcast answering listener emails and questions from the YouTube chat.DON'T FORGET TO ENTER YOUR PAC-12 SURVIVAL POOL PICKS HERE!!!For the video simulcasts of our POC please subscribe to your YouTube channel!Please subscribe, give the POC a five-star rating and post a review on Apple Podcasts!Sound off about Pac-12 football in our Podcast of Champions Reddit page!

Ep 334Recapping week five in the Pac-12 with a Beavers flex and USC and Washington escaping on the road

In this episode of the Podcast of Champions hosts Ryan Abraham and David Woods are back in studio to recap all of the exciting action that was week five of Pac-12 football that featured a Friday night ranked-on-ranked matchup in Corvallis and a couple of near upset bids over a couple of conference favorites.The Conference of Champions slate of games got off to a great start Friday night when Utah hit the road to take on Oregon State. The Beavers bounced back nicely from their loss in Pullman and took care of the Utes 21-7. For the second week in a row Utah only managed 7 offensive points and while they did a nice job of shutting down OSU's ground game, their inability to offense was too much to overcome in the newly renovated and vibrant Reser Stadium.There were three near upsets to discuss with Colorado giving USC all it could handle in Boulder, Arizona falling just short against Washington in Tucson and Arizona State blowing a chance to get a road win at California. Oregon looked like they were on upset alert for the first 20 minutes or so before rattling off 42-straight points in their blowout of Stanford on The Farm.The guys recap all of the games, talk about their rough weekend picking against the spread and reveal their latest Pac-12 Power Rankings.As usual Ryan and Dave end the podcast answering listener emails and questions from the YouTube chat.DON'T FORGET TO ENTER YOUR PAC-12 SURVIVAL POOL PICKS HERE!!!For the video simulcasts of our POC please subscribe to your YouTube channel!Please subscribe, give the POC a five-star rating and post a review on Apple Podcasts!Sound off about Pac-12 football in our Podcast of Champions Reddit page!
