Description: We wrap up our Big Ten preview series with the third and final installment, breaking down the remaining nine teams that represent the conference's fascinating middle tier and intriguing sleepers. From Iowa's FCS quarterback gamble to Rutgers' weird look-ahead potential, we explore the teams that could shake up the Big Ten landscape. In this college football podcast episode, we dive into Ty's affinity for new Iowa QB Mark Gronowski and why the Hawkeyes could surprise people. We analyze Nebraska's year-three Matt Rhule expectations with Dylan Raiola's development and a better offensive line, debate USC's ability to finally finish games with Jayden Maiava, and explore Washington's white-knuckle potential with Demond Williams. We also break down Wisconsin's aggressive portal additions despite a brutal schedule, examine Minnesota as the "But Also" team of the Big Ten with rookie quarterback Drake Lindsey, and wonder how spicy Michigan State can be with the tandem of Aiden Chiles and Nick Marsh. Plus, we discuss Nico Iamaleava's supporting cast at UCLA and debate whether Rutgers can capitalize on their advantageous scheduling spots. This is your complete guide to the Big Ten's most unpredictable programs and potential spoilers.
