ITP's Post-Spring Big 10 Power Rankings

Following completion of spring overviews, Ryan and Clinton formally wrap up ITP's spring football calendar with a snapshot view of their as-it-stands Big Ten power rankings.

ITP Spring Previews: Notre Dame

Ryan and Clinton officially wrap up spring season with the defending national runners up, talking the Notre Dame Fighting Irish. To help the guys break down ND, they welcome back Jack Soble from Blue and Gold Illustrated on the On3 network to the show. ND's three-man QB battle self-reduced to two in late April, with returning No. 2 man Steve Angeli heading to Syracuse via the portal. Where do things stand between redshirt sophomore Kenny Minchey and hyped redshirt freshman CJ Carr heading into summer? Whoever wins the job will be protected by an OL that blossomed from a unit that walked into College Station to begin 2024 with 6 combined starts, to what could be the best unit in the country in 2025; and will hand the ball off to all-everything back Jeremiyah Love (plus a host of blue chippers behind him). But with the QB run seemingly being less of a play in 2025, how will a once-again re-vamped receiver room shoulder the load? On defense, the Irish got a taste of life after Benjamin Morrison due to his early October injury -- which saw the emergence of freshman All-American CB Leonard Moore. But how will the Irish replace former Defensive Player of the Year Xavier Watts at safety? In the front 7, the Irish must replace 4th round pick Jack Kiser at LB, as well as former All-American DTs Rylie Mills and Howard Cross, but will get a boon from a return to health for rush ends Jordan Botelho and Boubacar Traore ... who are some other names to know?

ITP Spring Previews: The Mid-American Conference

Clinton and Ryan continue rolling through spring previews with extra special bonus content, tonight bringing some MACtion to ITP. To help the guys dive deep on the conference, Alex Scheer of the MAC Sports Connection joins the show. After a wild rematch of the Battle of the Bricks in last year's MAC Title game, the two teams have been going in opposite directions in terms of roster building. Champion Ohio once again lost key contributors in the transfer portal and head coach Tim Albin defected to Charlotte. Meanwhile, runner up Miami went on the offensive and landed arguably the biggest addition in the conference of the offseason, bringing Baylor QB and former MAC Player of the Year Dequan Finn back to the league. What can we look for from these two squads? Staying in Ohio, Bowling Green appeared to be in a tough spot when head coach Scot Loeffler left late in the cycle for the NFL. But the Falcons seemingly hit a home run bringing Tennessee State head coach Eddie George back to the Buckeye state. What are realistic expectations for the Falcons? After a bit of a down year in 2024, can Jason Candle bring perennial MAC power Toledo back to the conference title game? Any sleeper teams the guys are looking at for 2025?

ITP Spring Previews: USC and UCLA

Ryan and Clinton wrap up the Big Ten portion of their spring previews with a trek through California discussing USC and UCLA To help the guys break down the Trojans, Marc Kulkin from WeAreSC.com and the Locked on Trojans podcast joins the show. After two seasons that did not look all that different from the Clay Helton era, is Lincoln Riley on the hot seat in 2025? A lot turns over from an offense that was good in 2024, but took a step back from the Caleb Williams era. Can Jayden Maiava be the next Riley Stud QB, or will freshman Husan Longstreet give him a run for his money? Defensively, the unit took a big step forward under new DC D'Anton Lynn but still had issues stopping the run. Can that unit continue progressing in 2025? Across town in Westwood, UCLA made big waves in the spring portal window by indirectly trading QBs with Tennessee, bringing former 5-start recruit Nico Iamaleava (and his 4-star true freshman younger bronger) back to California. After a surprising 5-7 debut season under new HC Deshaun Foster in 2024, will the new QB help get the Bruins to bowl eligibility?

ITP Spring Previews: Washington

Ryan and Clinton return to further break down the Big Ten in the spring, today discussing the Washington Huskies. To help out the guys welcome back Roman Tomashoff from Locked on Huskies. A Big Ten newcomer in 2024, the Huskies faced a stark rebuild in 2024. New head coach Jedd Fisch was able to do reasonably well with a 6-7 season. However disciple issues hampered Washington in multiple games. How is this being addressed in the offseason? On offense, QB Demond Williams started as an electric package player, and eventually took starting reigns away from Will Rogers. With a strong receiver group, led by Denzel Boston, what can we expect from Williams and this offense in 2025? Defensively, to reach their full potential, the Huskies will need an improvement from a rush defense that allowed 161 yards per game in 2024 and was gashed by the better opponents on the schedule.

ITP Spring Previews: Rutgers and Northwestern

Ryan and Clinton hit the homestretch touching on their first looks at the Big Ten in 2025, with Rutgers and Northwestern next up. Rutgers had high expectations in 2024, mostly mediated by what was viewed as an exceptionally favorable schedule. The Scarlet Knights were still able to attain a bowl berth -- a 44-41 loss to Kansas State -- but a 7-5 regular season felt like something was left on the table. Injuries decimated this defense a year ago, and much of the defensive backfield has graduated. Will a bevy of transfer portal additions help shore up a unit that was 70th in scoring defense a year ago? Or will a schedule that features three likely preseason top-10 teams be too much to handle? The Lakehouse returns for an encore in 2025 for Northwestern, but the Wildcats are hoping this year brings more success than last's 4-8 campaign. After a failed portal foray with Mike Wright, Northwestern goes back to the portal for new QB Preston Stone, who was impressive in 2023 but was ultimately benched for Kevin Jennings during SMU's surpise 2024 playoff run. Can he rediscover his old form? He'll need to quickly establish chemistry with a WR room that is severely lacking on experience outside of South Dakota St transfer Griffin Wilde. On defense, Northwestern returns plenty in the front seven but will need growth from its returnees to bolster a unit that accumulated only 23 sacks a year ago.

ITP Spring Previews: Minnesota and Illinois

Clinton and Ryan continue their journey through the Big Ten as spring ball wraps up around the country, discussing Illinois and Minnesota. In Champaign, Bret Bielema's squad had a passive breakthrough in 2024, culminating with a bowl victory against South Carolina to hit 10-wins. Led by QB Luke Altmyer and a plethora of returning talent, the Illini have become a trendy playoff sleeper pick for 2025. Is this hype warranted? In Minneapolis, the Gophers rebounded from a subpar 2023 season to once again hit 8 wins in 2024, and several close defeats undersell how good this team actually was. Several key contributors move on, but vibes are good entering 2025. With a somewhat favorable schedule, what can we expect from them this season?
