Big Ten powers gear up for a season of high stakes and sky-high expectations. Oregon’s fans are asking: Is this finally the year Dan Lanning leads the Ducks to a national championship? Ohio State faces questions about the Arthur Smith-led offense and Ryan Day’s fourth-quarter strategy, while USC and Washington both eye playoff runs amidst roster shakeups and the spotlight on Demond Williams’ development. The Big 10 Squad breaks down the top moments from the past decade, celebrate the network’s 10-year anniversary, and debate the biggest 2026 storylines for each program. From Chip Kelly’s bold play-calling and Jack Sawyer’s breakout performances for the Buckeyes to Washington’s Pac-12 dominance and USC’s championship-or-bust mentality, this conversation tackles coaching philosophies, high-impact transfers, and the relentless drive for a Big Ten crown.

Oregon landing 5-star 2027 WR Dakota Guerrant is a big statement for the Ducks as they chase another top 5 class. It's an even bigger statement for WR Coach Ross Douglas.

On today's episode of Locked On Ducks, Spencer McLaughlin discusses the quality of depth in the cornerbacks room. Will former 5-star Na'eem Offord have a more feature role in 2026?

Oregon has used the transfer portal very well in recent years to bolster its roster and fill holes. Will there be a starting transfer on the Ducks' offense this year?
