BIG 10 SQUAD: Ranking the BEST Quarterbacks in the Big 10 | Where does Bryce Underwood rank?

·26 min·1 clip

The episode opens with Spencer McLaughlin bringing in the three-man Big Ten Squad. Roman Tomashoff and Trent Condon join him, and the missing neutral arbiter turns into part of the joke before the quarterback debate really gets moving. They use a CBS Sports ranking from Tom Fornelli as the starting point. From there, the discussion turns into a conference-wide argument about upside, track record, and how much surrounding talent should shape the evaluation. Dante Moore comes up early as a possible No. 1, and Julian Sayen is in the mix too. The panel keeps circling back to the idea that a quarterback’s ranking changes depending on the roster around him, especially once Maryland enters the conversation. Bryce Underwood becomes the biggest flashpoint. The hosts weigh him against Rocco Becht and DeMond Williams, and the tone stays focused on ceiling as much as current production. One argument is that Underwood’s upside reaches top-10 NFL draft territory. Another is that Becht is a gamer but does not bring that same draft-level projection. They also talk through Michigan’s situation and whether Underwood has really been in a strong developmental environment so far. The conversation revisits last season, including the sense that he played better when Biff Poggi was calling the shots for those games. There is also a memory of hoping for a freshman-year battle between Underwood and Malik Washington. That detour leads into Maryland, Mike Locksley, and the familiar cycle of strong starts followed by weak finishes. The hosts laugh at the meme reference, keep the banter loose, and then snap back to the rankings. It wraps with the usual signoff after the panel has made its case.
