Kenneth Walker with 5 touchdowns today. Will be interesting to see how Purdue handles him.

We could be entering an offseason where the USC, LSU, Miami, Nebraska, and Michigan jobs are all open at once.  Would be one of the crazier coaching carousels we've seen in a while.

At the other end of the spectrum, I wouldn't be surprised to see the MSU job open up again this offseason with Tucker getting serious consideration from a premier southern school.

Fresno State thrashing No. 21 San Diego State on the road late in fourth quarter. 

Bulldogs would go to 7-2 under our former OC Kalen DeBoer -- with two wins over ranked teams and a seven-point loss at Oregon, who is now No. 7 and won at Ohio State. 

Wouldn't be surprised if a Power 5 school that decided to part ways with its HC gave him a jingle this offseason.

Impressive job by DeBoer

Are you hinting at IU? LOL. USC might try for him.

Not sure Southern Cal would deem him ready for that big of a jump. I was thinking more along the lines of a Texas Tech or an Iowa State (if their coach bolts -- he seems to get mentioned for openings every year), or maybe a Georgia Tech or Duke -- their coaches seem to be in trouble. I have no insight at all, mind you -- I'm just totally guessing.

Will be a great pick up for someone. I hope our next guy is someone with legit HC experience.

I just made the prediction thread and wondered the same thing. It seems this weekend is crap for every conference. The only Top 25 vs Top 25 game is Auburn at aTm. LSU at Bama should be a big deal but Cookie Monster sunk the Titanic. IU is a ratings grabber, baby!

Can anyone on this planet explain to me how the CFP committee ranked Mississippi State at #17?

[NashvilleHoosier]

Not only have we thrown our own season in the toilet, seems we’ve ruined Cincinnati’s as well.

If Cincy runs the table they're in the CFP.  Even with the SoS argument.  They're a good football team and the coaches and AP know this.  They're currently ranked 2 in the country in both polls. Even if a team in the SEC, Big Ten, ACC and Big 12 go undefeated Cincy is still in just so long as they stay unbeaten. They still have currently ranked #19 SMU on the schedule, so we'll see what happens there.  They also have to win their conference championship.  A lot of football to be played for all of this to play out.  

Insert foot in mouth.

Never thought they’d get bounced like that

Cincy can't make them enough money. Committee has basically made it a guarantee for Georgia and Alabama to be in the playoff.
