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?

Oregon has an "all-in" football approach as an Athletic Department that has at times made it tougher for other sports to thrive. The pressure on Dan Lanning for Duck fans is real.

On today's episode of Locked On Ducks, Spencer McLaughlin discusses where Dante Moore could rank all-time in Oregon quarterbacks. How far up the top 10 list does he currently sit?

When the Pac-12 fell apart after the 2023 season, the Ducks found safe haven in the Big 10. Have the Ducks risen above every other former Pac-12 school since they've all left for other leagues?

Colorado's defense has had select moments this year in which they've made plays, such as a pair of redzone interceptions against TCU in their 45-42 week 1 upset victory. If the Ducks avoid mistakes like that, they'll be able to score on Deion Sanders' defensive unit.

On today's episode of Locked On Ducks, Spencer McLaughlin examines big-picture components of this week's showdown with Colorado. Some Oregon fans are getting a serious taste of the hype train and ultimate buy in generated by Colorado fans.

Oregon is a big favorite with the betting line hovering around 3 touchdowns (21 points give or take). If the Ducks' defense is able to do its job this Saturday and avoid penalties, Oregon is capable of winning by more than that.

One of Oregon's top defensive line targets in 2027, Marcus Fakatou, released a final 3 schools and the Ducks didn't make the cut. What does that mean for this recruiting cycle?

On today's episode of Locked On Ducks, Spencer McLaughlin takes another stab at his favorite offseason guessing game. How might the depth chart shake out at the Nickel position behind whoever the starter is?

Dante Moore recently did an interview in which he was asked about breakout players for the 2026 Ducks. His responses should excite Duck fans and turn a head or two.
