Will the last coach left in the American conference please remember to turn off the lights?.......N.Texas' Eric Morris heads to Oklahoma St........Jon Sumrall leaves Tulane for Florida.........Alex Golesh vacates S.Florida for Auburn.........Ryan Silverfield heads south from Memphis to Arkansas.....and UAB has yet to name a permanent replacement for Trent Dilfer. Five of 14 staffs will be new in 2026. So far. Somehow, Charlotte @ 1-11 isn't in the market for somebody new.............

.......These really are the end of the times. The line of boosters ready to throw Lane Kiffin millions to run their football programs is proof mankind no longer looks at character as a prerequisite for leadership roles. Somehow, we see horse's behinds and look at them as the perfect candidate to be in charge. Political offices and boardrooms are being controlled by narcissists & they are hiring more narcs. And we wonder why the world continues to spiral out of control.........

........So if we are to believe precedent, Ole Miss' spot in the playoff should be in jeopardy since they have such a fluctuation in their coaching staffs. I mean, if a single injured QB was enough to keep an unbeaten conference champ out of the 4 team playoff, certainly a team not being run by the same people would be enough cause for concern wouldn't it?...........

........I'm guess SMU finally figured out how to lose games that will get you over the hump like a real ACC team should. Welcome to the conference, Mustangs............

........I still don't understand how dook got into the ACC title game. I don't even think dook & their high SAT's have figured out themselves. What makes it so disgusting is they don't have a single win vs the other 4 teams they are tied with........

.......This whole situation where you don't play half the teams in your conference and no divisions is asinine. You got the dook situation.....Tx A&M didn't play one team they tied for 1st with. In fact, w/half the SEC ranked, the only conference win they had vs a ranked team was #25 Mizzo. Who is only ranked in one poll....Mizzo is also Vandy's sole win vs any ranked SEC team......Indiana avoided Ohio St, Michigan & USC on their conference slate.....Ole Miss played only 2 teams that finished ranked all year.....

All this to say you look at the records & the conference & conclude "x" team must be good. Until you realize they aren't playing "A, B, or C" but beating up on "w, y, & z". Don't get me wrong, there is accomplishment in beating the ones that you should (again, see the ACC). But when we are talking "Champion", the deciding factor should not be the lucky schedule for that year............

..........Do you think there is any chance the Heisman winner this season gets picked in the 1st 3 rounds next spring?............

.....ESPN says the Big T1e8n championship tix are going for @ least $350 in Indianapolis. Wonder if Mark Sanchez will pop into town to watch.........

.....Why are 4 of the Group of 5 conferences playing their games simultaneously Friday night?.........

........What happened to Major Harris?..............

.......I wonder if dook fans Saturday would take a ticket to Charlotte for the ACC title game, or one to their basketball game @ Michigan St.?.........

.......Lot of fans disappointed in UNC's season. I'm not. It was about what I expected in the 1st run. I was happy to finally see UNC able to play some D & rush the passer (though you wouldn't have known it vs NCSt Saturday). The problems on offense was due, IMO, to just a lack of talent left from all the transfers. But what was disappointing to me was all the flags this team got at the end of the year. Big plays lost. 1st downs given. Terribly frustrating. I wasn't expecting a Belichek team to have this problem. Hopefully, this spring they will address the penalties, the offense, and the fumbling.................
