When high profile jobs open up, it seems like everyone gets paid.

For the first time in 5 years , the SEC will only have 1 team with 11 wins. That will not happen until Saturday when Bama and Mizzou play. The 17th ranked Mizzou Tigers, who lost to Indiana, could be the SECs only 11 win team and conference champion.

@Jake_Trotter: Baylor has hired a PR firm (Kevin Sullivan Communications) to advocate its case for a playoff spot. Firm says they were hired last week

It's a Festivus miracle!

Sounds like the Astors with Bagwell.

I agree, but Rice usually goes bowling only if they win the conference or have more than the 6 wins necessary.

Updated lines: Alabama -14 ov Missouri. Oregon -13.5 ov Arizona. Florida St -3.5 ov Geo Tech. Wisconsin -3.5 ov Ohio St I'll take Mizzou and the points.

Doesn't Tressel have some penalties attached to his hiring as a coach?

He just turned 30.

Congrats to REL grad Drew Tate as his Calgary Stampeders team wins the Canadian version of the Super Bowl. Tate had 2 rushing TDs in the 20-16 win. [Hidden Content]

They average 10k fans. They ain't going to no bowl.

The last name is interesting. Very interesting. [Hidden Content]

The media. Unfortunately that's the only image some of have.

Good. The sooner he plays, the sooner he goes away.

Winning is overrated.

It would be easier to list who is NOT bowl eligible.

Needed to be a HC first. Now his resume is complete. Assuming he can coach, he will move up the ranks soon.

Those are Cougar High type numbers. BIRMINGHAM, Alabama -- An estimated 29,604 fans attended UAB's game against Alabama A&M at Legion Field Saturday, the highest attendance in 42 games according to UAB officials. On Sept. 30, 2006, 32,818 witnessed UAB's 21-3 victory over in-state foe Troy. UAB's average attendance last season fell to 10,548 as the Blazers endured a 2-10 season under head coach Garrick McGee, who was replaced by Bill Clark in January.

He should, but the glare that NC trophy tends to keep people from finding too many faults. At least for a while.

Lots of Michiganites teaching in Texas. The general opinion of the ones I work with is that the AD was the biggest problem and not Hoke.

Auburn's defense was terrible and has been for years. They have won in spite of that.

He never won a conference championship. Eventually, you have to raise the bar. It did not help that he was a toxic personality. Nebraska, like many other forner elite programs, measures their success by NC's. Realistic or not, that is the expectation.

We all know why Bama is #1. It has nothing to do with what happens on the field.

That's an oxymoron.
