Welcome to a new episode of Fans First Football Network’s I-80 Football Show. On this show, we travel down I-80 to talk all things Big Ten Football. This is the only Big Ten Podcast that’ll cover all 18 teams. After every week of action, we will catch you up on all the conference’s games and look ahead at the matchups, storylines, and players you should be paying attention to for the next week. My name is Jordan Williams, and I am joined by my co-host Dante Morgan.
After a break from the podcast, the guys catch up on a lot of the news they missed. We discuss fired coaches, USC struggles, Northwestern’s turnaround, and the Michigan cheating scandal. While many in college football are too harsh on Caleb Williams, Jordan is happy that Lincoln Riley is struggling. Riley is self-absorbed and refuses to change, he now has to deal with the fact that he could not win the PAC-12 with Caleb Williams and wasted his most talented quarterbacks last season losing five games before Williams heads to the NFL.
It. Is. Time. 
Rivalry week, A.K.A. hate week is here. In the Big Ten, there are a bunch of rivalry games with meaning. Nebraska, Illinois, and Minnesota need wins against their rivals to reach bowl eligibility and end the season on a positive note. Rutgers, already bowl-eligible, is trying to end Maryland’s two-game win streak and finish the season on top of their East Coast counterpart. 
The biggest game of all is of course ‘The Game’. Ohio State vs. Michigan is the best rivalry in all of sports and this time it’s for all the marbles. Two undefeated teams, the winner gets a chance to bully Iowa en route to a playoff berth while the loser has to watch the other compete for a national championship. This iteration of the game has massive stakes on its own but when you include the Michigan cheating scandal and Jim Harbaugh's three-game suspension it has even bigger implications. Dante and Jordan both believe Ohio State gets the win, Dante has it 30-27 while Jordan has it 30-20. Put 60 minutes on the clock, the latest edition of ‘The Game’ is around almost here.
