The Big Ten football season starts in less than two weeks, and plenty of teams enter the campaign with high expectations. Nine Big Ten teams saw their names mentioned in the Preseason AP Top 25, and even more have aspirations to be there by the end of the season. With expectations surrounding just about every team in the conference, who will step up to the call and who will fall short of expectations? Nate Dickinson brings on Jacob Rude to go over it all on Locked On Big 10.

Nate believes the Purdue Boilermakers are set to impress this season, while Jacob tabs the Maryland Terrapins as a team on the rise to look out for. On the other end of the spectrum, both Nate and Jacob see a potential letdown for the second straight season from the Penn State Nittany Lions. What will make or break the season for these teams? Nate and Jacob go into their reasoning.

Also, Nate and Jacob discuss recent reports saying the College Football Playoff could try to separate from the NCAA. If it does, what would a post-NCAA college sports landscape look like? Part of the Locked On Podcast Network.
