In this live episode of The Big Ten Huddle, we're breaking down a couple of the worst College Football Playoff takes from analysts Kirk Herbstreit and Emmanuel Acho, and explaining why they completely missed the mark. We'll also dive into the latest transfer portal rumors, including highly rated players who might be committing to or visiting Big Ten schools. Plus, host JR will give his early take on the Big Ten starting quarterbacks for the 2025 season. Returning QBs like Drew Allar, Jayden Maiava, and Luke Altmyer are locked in, while Indiana’s Fernando Mendoza and Wisconsin’s Billy Edwards Jr. have been newly added as projected starters. But with several other programs facing uncertainty at QB, we'll discuss all the potential changes across the conference.
