On this episode of the JT Sports Podcast, JT breaks down why the SEC may have a coaching identity problem and explains how the Big Ten’s willingness to embrace stability, patience, and program identity has helped close the gap with college football’s most dominant conference. JT also discusses why Texas shouldn’t be judged by old narratives and why the Longhorns have a legitimate national championship roster, reacts to the growing wave of Curt Cignetti copycats trying to recreate Indiana’s rapid turnaround blueprint, and explains why USC may be the biggest swing team in the Big Ten with Lincoln Riley, Jayden Maiava, and Gary Patterson. Plus, JT dives into Notre Dame’s schedule dilemma as an independent, explains how résumé control impacts the Fighting Irish’s playoff outlook, and reveals his full Big Ten Power Rankings heading into the season, featuring Ohio State, Indiana, USC, Oregon, Michigan, Washington, Iowa, Penn State, Nebraska, UCLA, Illinois, Minnesota, Maryland, Northwestern, Rutgers, Wisconsin, Michigan State, and Purdue.
