Big House Bleachers: Michigan Media Frenzy, College Football Playoff Rankings, and Purdue Preview

On the most recent episode of the Big House Bleachers podcast, hosts Michael Smeltzer from Wolverine Chronicle and Matt Hartwell from Maize N Brew delve into the media frenzy surrounding Michigan during their bye week.

Despite no action on the field, the spotlight on Michigan football remained intense due to allegations of illegal sign-stealing. As the NCAA delves into these claims, Matt and Mike unpack the potential repercussions for both this season and future ones.

They explore the investigation’s expected timeline, speculate on Ohio State’s head coach Ryan Day’s possible involvement in the initial allegations, and consider the long-term impacts on recruiting and the coaching staff.
