Mullen out at Florida. 
 

LSU, USC, and Florida being open with the domino effect that creates is going to make for an INSANE coaching carousel. I can’t wait. This could lead to jobs like Penn State, Notre Dame, Cincinnati opening.  

Is Kelly looking to move?

Tom Allen to Florida? Nice.

I doubt it, but some CFB guys I read are convinced he’s the guy USC needs to/is going after. They brought it up on Gameday yesterday too. Personally I think Aranda is the home run for SC.

All that flirtin' by James Franklin paid off. PSU gave him a new contract ...

Franklin's agent deserves whatever his/her cut is. Getting $7.5 mil/year base before bonuses.

There’s going to be some really pissed off football school fanbases when hiring time comes.

ND fans seem to think only 2 of Georiga, Bama, OSU, and Michigan should make the CFP this year. Its weird to want to watch your proigram get destroyed every year.

Nebraska blows yet another game.  Scott Frost is now 7-20 in one score games since he's been at Nebraska.

A playoff featuring both Cincinnati and ND would be absolutely dreadful. Neither team is close to top 4 in the country.

As long as I get my dream matchup of Bama-OSU in some way I am good. Sure no defense would be played. But watching a 70-63 game with 1500+ yards in a track meet with pads would be fun

I think there is absolutely a scenario where we see a Final 4 of Georgia, Alabama, Ohio State and Michigan.

No kidding, wouldn't you rather go to a nice bowl game and compete vs the playoff and get obliterated? I would, but I hate the Fighting Amish so chuckle when they get embarrassed.

You’re kidding, right? I’d take getting obliterated in the playoff every year in a heartbeat. At least they are there and have a chance.

Agree. More money and helps recruiting

I think a super close game tomorrow with a Michigan win and them winning the B1G Title game, along with Cincinnati losing, could allow it. Possibly.

No two loss team has ever made the BCS.  IMO, an Ohio State loss eliminates them and moves (yuck) Notre Dame ahead of them -- Oklahoma State as well if they beat Oklahoma.  Oklahoma could get through with one loss as well if they beat Oklahoma State and then win the Big 12 championship.  

Oklahoma's biggest issue is that if they win Saturday, they would play Oklahoma State again in the Big 12 championship.  If they were instead playing Baylor they would have a chance to avenge their previous loss, which the pollsters would probably look more favorably on.

I take it be beat down on the playoffs.  Way to many bowl games and couldn't care less about most of them.

I don't think the Committee really cares. Never figured a team who couldn't make their own title game would be put into the playoff. Bama did just that.
