    He could be a legend at Ole Miss and hell get fired in 3 years if he struggles at LSU

    this is exactly what i think will happen if he leaves, and it'll set his career back. he'll be back on the market looking for his 27th coaching gig in a matter of years, and where he lands won't mirror his situation at Ole Miss. he has an ideal thing going for him as it stands, and it'll be a huge mistake if he gives it up in hopes for even greener grass.

    I just could never trust the guy with as much money as LSU is purportedly willing to throw at him. the guy always seems to be on the move, for myriad reasons.

    I think he would have success for a while, but they have no patience for down years and he would end up getting fired. Ed O won a natty with the best offense in CFB history and was fired 2 years later.

    It is a better job thats easier to recruit for and has more money, the whole state basically breeds HS football players to go to LSU with an insane amount of purple and gold schools.

    I do think its a mistake but he probably will since he still hasnt said anything yet

    I thought I was watching the bad news bears. Auburn just not a good team.

    Georgia will be looking for revenge next week, and if Bama loses they will probably not make the playoffs with 3 losses.

    Hats off to both Georgia and Alabama for fighting their way through the season and into the SEC Championship. Neither team looks overpowering and both came close to losing yesterday, but that's been the story of the SEC all year, everyone seems able to win or lose any game in equal fashion.

    Should be some good games next weekend and a potential re-shuffling of the order which will dictate the bracket. The Tuesday rankings will also influence that bracket and I suppose that Georgia will be the new Number 3, but who knows how far Texas A&M will slide down. It all provides us with a fitting end to a season that's been pretty crazy, teams moving up and down in the Top 10. To me there have been 4 teams that have played consistently all season: Ohio State, Indiana, Ole Miss and Notre Dame. They would be my choices for an eventual National Champion. Looking at how things are right now it might be that Indiana has the easiest path into the Championship Game, but anything can happen at this point in the season.

    I doubt they get in. The way it looks now is the current CFP Top 10 plus the ACC Champion and Group of 5 Champion.

    There will be some good deserving teams getting left out. Miami deserves a spot imo because of the win over ND. Sec will have 4 or 5 teams for sure.

    USF coach going to Auburn
    Tulane coach going to FL
    Arkansas hires the Memphis coach
    Oklahoma State hires the North Texas coach
    Michigan State fires their coach

    AAC title game that will produce the playoff team for the G5 now has both teams with a HC leaving

    Kiffin going to LSU . Things are so bad between him and the school Kiffin has apparently told the offensive coaches he was going to take with him that if they dont leave now with him they can look for jobs elsewhere

    Ole Miss is working on trying to keep as many as they can but its going to be down a few coaches which might cost them a home playoff game ranking

    Iowa cant even beat Iowa State or SoCal. Theres not a ton of tomato cans like Michigan State, Nebraska, Rutgers, Wisconsin, Minnesota to rack up wins in the SEC

    They wouldnt even be bowl eligible. They lost to every team they played that was even slightly good or better than that

    If LSU, Missouri, and Tennessee can get bowl eligible in the sec, then I have no doubt Iowa could.

    So were back to the pretzel logic?

    What happens to a B!G school early in the season doesnt matter unless its a win, but if another conference has a team lose but the win doesnt matter

    OSU only beat Texas by 7 at home and Archie was terrible

    Mizzou would be the 3rd or 5th best team in the B!G and Tennessee would be right behind them.

    Like it or not the B!G this year was two good teams, with Indiana and OSU, 3 above average teams with Oregon, Michigan and SoCal.

    Michigan lost to OU

    Then there was Iowa who was average at best, Illinois slightly below average, Washington below average than a bunch of tomato cans

    Well, let's see: Kentucky, Florida, Auburn, Mississippi State, South Carolina and Arkansas are all in the soup aisle, but the "My Dad can beat up your Dad" argument is really a stupid one to be having. Also, having 5-teams in the 12-team field for the SEC might make you swell with pride but it might also end up biting you in the ass. Not getting someone to the finals isn't a good look when you represent almost half the teams, so beware. The sooner the world of NCAA football gets past the fallacy that the SEC is stocked with powerhouse teams the better off NCAA football will be. The only real way to convince people is with more inter-conference play during the regular season while also working things out in the playoffs.

    Best of luck to every team that makes it into the 12-team field, there should be some good games but there also might be some bruised and battered egos when the dust settles.

    Kentucky is really the only one in the same soup aisle. Arkansas you could argue but had a brutal schedule like Auburn who certainly is not in that aisle.
