Prediction for championship:

Auburn vs. FSU.

FSU wins with a flawless victory.

A part of me thinks that both Auburn AND Ohio State are going to lose. Then what?

Bama probably gets in, though I think Mizzou is more deserving.

Mizzou and FSU should be in, in that case. Bama didn't win their conference, and as Herbie told us in 2007, that matters. Oh wait, it didn't after 2007.

ESPN says that Chris Petersen has pulled out of consideration for the USC job.

Also USC called Sark.

You'll get James Franklin and you'll like it, probably.

Sark will get a nice raise though.

At this point I don't see how it is anyone but Franklin.

FSU vs FSU. jamesinclair was right all along.

Fresno State lost.

Florida State vs. Northern Illinois rematch. Mark it down.

Losses by SEC top ten programs don't count.

What time and channel might one find PAWWWWWL today?

 

[Quake1028]

Exactly. FSU is the most deserving 1-loss team.

Some would argue they are undefeated when playing FSU football.

 

[BertramCooper]

lol

Look at that shit.

They swarm, Wilson stumbles away from them, and every single one of them follows him.

 

[Randolph Freelander]

Exactly. FSU is the most deserving 1-loss team.

I'll put undefeated NIU's schedule up against anybody. Ohio State beat Michigan by 1. Well, NIU rolled Eastern Michigan, Central Michigan, and Western Michigan. NIU waxed the entire state.

Championship.

They missed a few.

I don't know about radio, but it will be on ESPNU at 1 or 2 this afternoon.

 

[timetokill]

Not sure why you'd take Franklin over Orgeron at this point. I guess it's because Vandy is supposed to suck, and now they're kinda mediocre? And with a worse record than last year?

Orgeron took a program that was left for dead and made it kinda relevant again.

Basically, if you're not going to get a premium choice, why not just take Orgeron and have him build a new staff (new OC, etc) and see what's going on next year in coaching if necessary, since the sanctions will be done by then?

 

[BertramCooper]

How many directional schools does a state need?

 

[Cornballer]

ESPN says that Chris Petersen has pulled out of consideration for the USC job.

So that's four PAC-12 teams that have made a run at Peterson over the last few years, right?

Orgeron isn't a big name right now, and Franklin is a lot trendier pick. He's been more successful than anyone thought he would be at Vandy, and that's about it. I think Shaw would be a much better choice if they could get him to leave Stanford.

 

[Randolph Freelander]

Anyone remember the last time USC poached a coach from the state of Tennessee?

 

[cdyhybrid]

Considering that guy coached at USC for years before a brief stop in Tennessee, I'd say this is a bit of a different situation.

College football has taught me to draw any connection, no matter how loose.

Speaking of, did you know: Alabama beat the team that beat Auburn. However, Auburn did not beat the team that beat Alabama. FYI. Bama to MNC.

 

[Karakand]

Go Bruins!!!

FUSC

I know you're kind of a nub Bruin still, so lemme help out.

It's not FUSC, it's FUCK SC. FUSC smacks of the feigned propriety that Trogans like to wrap themselves in when they banter about "fucla" or whine about Caleb Benenoch when they were huge Rey Maualuga fans and that's just not how we roll.

 

[BertramCooper]

Is the clip of Jesse Palmer making his stupid "when playing Stanford football" comment from earlier in the season up on YouTube or anywhere else?

How many directional schools does a state need?

Ohio has a ton of schools too, just without the directions attached. I made a Michigan vs Ohio conference in NCAA one time and couldn't even fit all the Ohio schools. Had to move Toledo to the Michigan side.

I'm pretty sure Vandy is 8-4 just like last year at this time.

A very very very credible insider just said that right now it's between Coach Orgeron and Sark, wowsa..if you're Haden, who is your guy?

Grain of salt because our Scout guys are generally much more reliable than the Rivals site (who tweeted this).

 

[BertramCooper]

Oh, I know. There's so many of them that directional names wouldn't work.

Miami = Southwestern Ohio University
Ohio U = Southeastern Ohio University
Akron = Northeastern Ohio University
Bowling Green = Northwestern Ohio University
Toledo = Southeastern Michigan University
Kent State = You're Fucked

And there's still about a dozen more of them.

Ohio has the most post secondary schools in the nation. At least 10 years ago they did when I heard that fun fact

 

[timetokill]

Oh, right, the bowl game. I don't know why I spaced on that.

If it's those two, Orgeron should be the pick, easily.

 

[Randolph Freelander]

North Carolina could form a state school conference

UNC-Chapel Hill (North Carolina to the rest of yall)
NC State
East Carolina
Western Carolina
NC Central
Appalachian State
NC A&T State
UNC Charlotte
UNC Greensboro
UNC Wilmington
UNC Asheville
UNC Pembroke
Winston Salem State
Fayetteville State
Elizabeth City State
NC School of the Arts
NC School of Science and Math

...a few of these wouldn't play football, but I'd say 10 or 12 do.

Sprinkle in the private schools, and it's a wonder how we're still so dumb regardless.

 

[cdyhybrid]

I'd give Sark a slight edge but I don't think it would be enough to justify bouncing Orgeron, who's already there.

Poster (not a Scout employee) on the Scout site is suggesting that Sark is gone.

Edit: Unplanned team meeting being called at 2pm. Scout employee source saying Sark to USC could be a done deal.

You don't even need to make up derogatory nicknames when Trogans exists. The best part is how its use is a constant reminder of its self-inflicted nature. It's also a higher form of humor as it eschews vulgar insults and instead points out the substandard literacy and knowledge of Trogan athletes.

I think thats a high school level institution in Durham.

You have to go with Orgeron. Going with Sark would at best be a lateral move, and Orgeron is already established and beyond beloved by the fans and the players here. Give him a couple of years, upgrade his OC, and let's see what happens.

Why start fresh with someone on the same level?

 

[timetokill]

I don't know why you'd fire the worst coach in the Pac-12 just to take the second worst. Stupid move by Haden if true.

I think you're right. Kick it off. I listed the first 14 from memory, then had to go here to fill in the last 3.

That I-40/85 corridor has a school every 14 feet.

Hearing from a source close to players on the #Washington team that the players think coach Sark is leaving for #USC.

Intern for our Scout site.

 

[timetokill]

I'm hearing a lot about it from Trojan twitter sources too. Lots of misery.

Sark to USC.

 

[Enfinit]

FSU + tOSU is just the worst combo ever.

Go Gators

Even Noles don't want this matchup. Bring on Mizzou.

Finally.

It was great to hear the students chanting "it's great..." At the end of the FSU game though.

Even as a visitor, that gave me goosebumps. Even after having a completely shit season and getting nearly blown-out by your hated rivals, every Gator in the stadium still chanted "It's great to be a Florida Gator!"

In all kinds of weather. Dem feels, man.

Wow, what an ugly, "down" year for so many teams. Gratz to FSU, OSUn & NIU for making it this far unbeaten.

Michigan vs. Georgia in the Gator, please.

That'd be an awesome match-up.

Prediction for championship:

Auburn vs. FSU.

FSU wins with a flawless victory.

A part of me thinks that both Auburn AND Ohio State are going to lose. Then what?

FSU vs. Mizzou. I'd rather see that than Auburn.

How many directional schools does a state need?

University of North Florida, Jacksonville
University of South Florida, Tampa (more like University of West-Central Florida)
University of West Florida, Pensacola (slated to get a football team in 2015, I believe)
Eastern Florida State College, Cocoa Beach
University of Central Florida, Orlando
Florida State University, Tallahassee
University of Florida, Gainesville
Florida Gulf Coast University, Fort Meyers
Florida Atlantic University, Boca Raton
Florida International University, Miami
University of Miami, Miami (the real University of South Florida)

Florida's got their cardinal directions down.

 

[timetokill]

FML.

 

[Limedust]

Sark to USC makes no sense to me, and I really have no bias in the matter.

 

[cdyhybrid]

Greg Ducre ‏@GDucre18 2m
Damn...

Yeah, Sark's gone.

Top two names will be Mora and Wilcox. Don't see Mora leaving UCLA, timing is bad.

Wilcox could probably keep most of our young assistants on staff and keep recruiting from falling apart. Just get him a star OC and I'm happy.

 

[Paches]

But I liked Sark

I would bet Wilcox get the HC position at UW, but who knows.
