So the top 4 will remain the same.

New Top 4:

#1 Alabama Defense

#2 Alabama Offense

#3 Ohio State I guess

#4 ????

What a day for college football. It will be interesting to see how the Big Ten East works itself out. As an alum, I only hope that Ohio State wins out and gets some help from Michigan State (not even going to put that kind of pressure on Rutgers) to beat Penn State to get the Buckeyes into the B1G championship game. If we can take care of business at East Lansing, against Michigan, and then (hopefully if the stars align) in a rematch against Wisconsin, we'll be in prime shape to take on the playoffs. Will be interesting to see what the CFP committee does with a highly ranked OSU team if they win out and Penn State/Wisconsin decide the B1G championship.

Lots of ifs. Chaos weekend is an awesome thing when your team isn't taken out in the process. I'm excited to see how things play out.

(1) I'm kind of excited that Ohio State Michigan is actually going to matter in a real way to both teams this year.

(2) I'm glad Clemson is still a verb. And they lost because of a guy on the other team named Blewitt.

(3) Three top 4 teams losing in November is just awesome for those of us who love a bit of chaos.

Never understood the point of firing a head coach mid-season (unless something non-football ex- baylor happens)

 

[Krish the Fish]

The only reasoning that would make sense would be that big $$ boosters said the coach had to go or the gravy train stops.

Also allows them to start reaching out to candidates without looking like an asshole if you haven't dropped your current coach.

 

[venividivicibj]

But most of the coaches youd be looking at would be currently working for another school, so its not like you coudl be having full talks anyway. (unless you want a coach who is a few years out of coaching, or just got fired)

 

[Texasmade]

Starting a coaching search by reaching out to candidates is considered okay as long as you've fired your current guy.

Speaking of coaches, I keep telling all my LSU friends that if they were serious about competing with Alabama, they should go after Art Briles. They just have to be able to overlook all the ****/gang rapes, be willing to win at all cost, and have no morals.

The thing that really annoys me about Saban is that he doesn't even appear to be a crooked scumbag like Urban Meyer and the rest. He just has so much talent available that he can afford to punt the losers and criminals.


What a jerk.

If your team is, ahem, not quite a blue blood, you have to spend do so much time convincing folk to just answer your calls. Our AD is a football guy and is getting to make his hire to build up his AD. On top of that it's safe to say that our program still needs to be created. I also believe if we don't get the next two years right we need to fold our program. so there's many factors at play here that require us to spend far more time searching for a new coach than other schools.

Louisville is getting taken to the woodshed by Houston. How far does UL fall if they lose this big?

Not sure, but it should take a miracle for them to end up in the top 4 again. I'd probably drop them at least 5 spots.

 

[edinatlanta]

Damn. If Houston only drops one of their games they still might be a playoff-bound squad.
