I thought Saban's would be higher.

I'm sure it will be very shortly.

If I am Phil Knight (Oregon) I give Les Miles the coaching job and then make sure I get Lane Kiffin to run the offense. Give Lane HC $$ because that is what it will take for him to Leave Bama.

Lane Kiffin is interviewing for the UH job after the SEC Championship game. Being from the area Kiffin and Miles seems two be their two biggest targets from everything I've heard.

I could see Miles doing excellent at UH. He has lots of recruiting connections in Texas from his time recruiting the state at both LSU and Oklahoma State. Houston is a hotbed for high school football. Miles could see UH as an easier path to a New Year's 6 Bowl.

If Kiffin misses out, does he join his friend Orgeron at LSU?

As far as Oregon. Not much news out of their camp. They are either being extremely quiet or are waiting for conference championships to end so they can go after McElwain, Harsin or Fleck?

Taggart is the main buzz I'm hearing around here. Everyone seems pretty in the dark though. Whomsoever Phil wants and is capable of being swayed by money is the answer though.

[akhosrof 1,168]

Taggart would be a fantastic hire for Oregon. Big jump for him but he's a high ceiling talent. Spent three years on the West Coast at Stanford under Harbaugh. Strong recruiter in Florida.

Classy shoutout by Taggart:

Colorado was diwn 14-7 to UW at half. They threw a pick on the first 2 possesions, now 24-7. Say hello to Bama, UW

So, WMU or Navy?

I'm biased, as my brother is a WMU alum, but I think it's gotta be WMU. Undefeated is undefeated. They scheduled two B1G games, can't fault them for the Illini sucking. Navy will have some sentimental pull I'm sure, and they have a pretty solid resume as well. 50,000+ showing up in Detroit last night didn't hurt WMUs chances.

Temple handled Navy with relative comfort on their field.

In the Bama/Florida game...consecutive plays saw a blocked punt returned for a TD followed by the extra point being blocked and returned for 2.

College Football is so great.

So it's looking like Purdue isn't going to get any of even the mid tier coaching candidates. Awesome day.

Really? That would suck if I had to be them. Hard to believe

Coaches care about facilities just as much as players if not more. Crap facilities with a bare cupboard in talent.

What were they doing during the Tiller days. They had to have had a pretty good revenue steam coming in to upgrade. Combine that with the BTN revenue and they should have been able to do more than us. Crazy

[CR3AMnCR1MS0N 1,867]

So, this is looking too far ahead since we still have a bowl game this year, but what do people think of our schedule next season? I'm glad that 3 out of 4 games from this year's B1G top 4 will be home games for us. It's also really nice to get Illwhini, Rutger and Purdue in the same season.

Boy, Penn State sure came to play tonight. 

 

Two years ago, OSU made the playoffs because Wisconsin didn't show up for the Big Ten final. Now, they're going to get in because of the Badgers winning it.

I love when Gus Johnson does a football game liked him in basketball too.

OSU was going to get in no matter what from what I had read. The badgers are just hoping Virginia tech wins
