They got slapped in the face with a dose of reality and now know they aren't the top tier program they think they are. JK Penn State fans are delusional. The arrogance they showed by thinking they would get Cignetti, DeBoer or Elko and even had the gall to mention the possibilities of Saban, Meyer and Lanning.
Matt Campbell is a good coach. A decent amount of Michigan fans were interested in him when Harbaugh left. I just don't get firing Franklin to hire a guy who's ceiling is probably Franklin.
I was positive Miami was going to drop a third game down the stretch but they didn’t. Notre Dame and Miami are likely going to be back-to-back in the rankings now and I’m not sure how you don’t use H2H at that point.
Totally agree with everything your said.
College football, basketball, etc….. As long as there are rankings and there are playoff brackets, it’s always going to be subjective. With their formats there’s never going to be a clear answer.
Why this isn't even a conversation makes no sense to me. Why is Bama immune from being left out? They got whooped by a bad FSU team.
A lot of people seem to operate under the assumption that making a CCG means you don’t get dropped in favor of idle teams. The only reason SMU didn’t fall out entirely in favor of Bama last year is they lost to Clemson on a walk off FG. Bama got handled today and have by far the worst loss of any contender. They should be out at this point.
It’s the best coaching job anywhere ever, imo. I don’t think that’s an exaggeration.
We sometimes overuse calling things the best ever, but I agree. Indiana has always been a laughingstock and basically considered an automatic win for their opponents. Now, they are legitimately the #1 team in the country. And he did it almost immediately.
