USC's No.1 ranked recruiting class has made a lot of noise all over the country and it looks like the class is adding another explosive prospect on July 4th. When Ethan Boobie Feaster announces his commitment to the Trojans on July 4th, Lincoln Riley and WR Coach Dennis Simmons will have another elite prospect to develop. I have all of the details and what it means for USC.

Big Ten football power rankings spark heated debate. Is Penn State truly the top dog, or will Ohio State reclaim their throne?

Spencer McLaughlin and his all-star panel dissect the conference's hierarchy, with USC's placement igniting fierce discussion. Mark Culkin makes a bold case for the Trojans' ascent, while others question their readiness. The crew also analyzes Washington's potential dark horse status and Indiana's win total prediction for the upcoming season.

Key topics include defensive improvements, quarterback performances, and the impact of challenging schedules on team success. Jacob Goins and Craig Sheeman offer optimistic outlooks for the Hoosiers, but can Indiana really hit 9 wins against a tough slate?

Tune in for expert insights on your favorite Big Ten teams and players as the season approaches. Will your team rise or fall in the rankings?

It's time for USC to assume its role and be the team everyone calls Mr. BIG. Craig Shemon from the Locked On BIG 10 podcast is here for a Trojans Only talk. Craig knows the Big 10 Conference as well as anyone and he joined the show to offer his insights on everything USC. What happened in 2024 and where USC is heading in 2025 and beyond with Lincoln Riley calling the shots as head coach.

No one thinks USC can contend for a conference championship in 2025, however, I have a new power ranking poll that has USC at No.3 behind Penn St, and Ohio St. I make the argument in the show's first segment that USC should be ranked higher than a5 other teams in the B1G Conference.

Does a coach's system make good players great or do the players make the system great? It's a Jimmies & Joes vs the X's & O's discussion with the transfer portal part of the calculus.

I have a recruiting update in the final segment of the show. USC feels like they're in a good spot for Boobie Feaster's July 4th commitment announcement.

USC will be at the B1G 10 Media Days in a few weeks but there will be one player curiously missing; Elijah Paige, Makai Lemon, and Kamari Ramsey will be there with Lincoln Riley. The quarterback is the face of every program, and especially at a school like USC. I explore the reason(s) why Coach Riley chose not to bring his starting QB.

The Trojans have had some huge monumental recruiting wins so far. In the second segment, I list the biggest wins, and what they mean.

During the show's last segment, I answer questions from the Locked On USC fans in my Mail Bag.

USC was close to being a 9-win team in 2024 and if they want to win 9 or more games in 2025, they'll need to learn lessons from their 1-4 record on the road. The Trojans held 4th quarter leads in every game but one in 2024 and very should have won at least 3 of the 4 they lost. I talk about which lessons Lincoln Riley and team can take away from losing so many close games in 2025, and how it will help them in 2025.

I believe the defense will be USC's strength this season, however, there are a couple of concerns that I want to point out with the linebackers and secondary. In the 2nd segment, I list my concerns at cornerback, at linebacker and with the safeties.

I like to talk about recruiting, even during the current dead period. I have a few names to keep an eye on. July 4th could be another big day for USC's class of 2026.

USC and Lincoln Riley should always have a top 5 quarterback, but last year's starter, Miller Moss, is at Louisville and one analyst believes Moss be one in 2025.

Big Ten flexes its muscles against SEC scheduling. Is a nine-game conference slate the future of college football?

Spencer McLaughlin and fellow Locked On hosts tackle the Big Ten vs SEC scheduling debate, predicting Illinois' football win total, and dissecting potential NCAA tournament expansion. The crew analyzes Brett Bielema's bold stance on conference parity and debates the merits of a 76-team March Madness field. Key matchups for Illinois, including showdowns with Ohio State and Washington, take center stage as the hosts weigh in on the Illini's chances for a breakout season.

Tune in for heated debates on college football's power dynamics and the future of postseason play in both football and basketball.
