The Obligatory PSU Podcast

The wildly imbalanced Big Ten divisions and questionable performance of Penn State's past opponents.

Show Notes

Maybe it's time to go back to "Legends" and "Leaders." After years of the scales tipping in favor of the Big Ten's East division, home to college football powerhouses Ohio State, Penn State, and Michigan, the disparity between the two halves the conference seems even more pronounced in 2021. Chris and Jim look at the might East versus the lowly West while pondering whether the sketchy post-Penn State performance of the Nittany Lions' prior foes is worthy of concern.
