Podcasts have become one of the best ways to mentally prepare yourself for your holy Pac-12 matchup. Whether I am washing the dishes or driving podcasts allow me to check in on my team and relive the highs and lows of college football. A weekly tradition of mine is to listen to a competitor’s podcast before a game to hear what they have to say about my team and the upcoming game. The opponent’s podcast provides some interesting insight that usually gets me even more pumped for the game. But with so many podcasts out there it is easy to waste time listening to a show that sucks. In an effort to save you some time we compiled a list of the best Pac-12 football podcasts for your listening pleasure.
