Locked On UCLA - Daily Podcast On UCLA Bruins

Ohio State faces a brutal Big Ten gauntlet—at Texas, USC, Oregon, and Michigan. Is Ryan Day's squad ready for the most challenging schedule in college football? Spencer McLaughlin, Jay Stevens, and guests dissect the Buckeyes’ road to contention, questioning if a 10-2 finish is the best a championship-caliber team can manage. The discussion spotlights Arthur Smith’s OC hire, Indiana’s rising threat, and how top programs are tested in make-or-break matchups. Oregon and Washington’s transition into Big Ten play sparks debate about conference scheduling and its impact on playoff hopes. Why did Oregon get hit so hard with consecutive games against Ohio State, Michigan, and Washington? The Squad critiques non-conference scheduling, highlights the implications for team visibility, and jokes about Citadel’s mascot in a lighter moment. Big Ten fans get sharp analysis on November’s playoff-shaping clashes and the strategic future of powerhouse programs.
