Yahhh Missouri lands Kelly Bryant

Glad they are fielding a team next year. I was really worried when they didn't have a quarterback. Now they have what should be a really good offense.

Haskins won’t win but statistically speaking he owns the big ten records. What a player and I’ll miss him.

Does Meyer take a year off?  Or is he going to head to an Auburn or USC?  

 

He actually has an office in the building and a super cushy salary that is about to be public. If he goes anywhere it has to be 8 figures. Let’s put it that way

Matt Campbell extended another year

[caulfield12 1,728]

It's going to be extremely tough to keep Lincoln Riley from going to the NFL...will take the two Heisman Trophy winners.

Doubt that Stoops would return to coaching, and his brother at Kentucky wouldn't quite be a big enough name for head coach, I'd actually prefer former assistant Brent Venables from Clemson because somebody needs to get that defense sorted out at some point if they want to win another title.

Insiders tagged Campbell for the job for a few months before that.  Everyone has their eye on him.  The only thing was they knew he'd bring his entire staff, and that couldnt happen

Yep, everyone’s very aware of it in Ames too

If ISU pays him what he would get, he can build that place into a powerhouse.  I think hes great

He asked for the raise to go to the assistants this year. He’s not all about the money, though not saying it’s a not a factor. 

Hes going to be very successful wherever he is

Yeah, these days you have to pay assistants a shitload.  Thats what every elite program does.  He still has a bunch of his guys on his staff so at least they arent looking around yet.  

I'm a huge fan of hiring anyone from the Mount Union program.  That place is mecca

This Isiah Simmons kid on Clemson, I want him on the Bears ASAP

AND nice try nice effort Notre Dame, lol. 

[Chisoxfn 713]

Oklahoma at least had an interesting second half but both games were total duds. Two best teams clearly advanced. Championship game should be a good one.

ND always looks so slow against the top teams. Nothing they do offensively works against fast defenses.

I've  been an ND fan my whole life, but I'm not even disappointed. Brian Kelly seems like such a jerk, I have a hard time wishing him success. Of course, not many coaches are easy to root for.

It would be nice to see someone other than Alabama and Clemson in the final, though.

If only playoff were expanded so we could have watched a team like Michigan agaonst Clemson first round

[Heads22 1,285]

The Alamo Bowl made me sad, though I found out a new and creative way to see a targeting penalty enforced and I still don't know what a catch is.

Michigan wouldn’t have made an 8 team field this year. Nice attempt at snark though.

8 teams is the most fair since all 5 major conference champs get in.

[nitetrain8601 58]

Georgia should've made it. ND should have to play a conference title game or not be playoff eligible.

I hate ND more than anyone but they were a top 4 regular season team.  UGa lost their two biggest games.

[Harry Chappas 307]

I hate ND but they did enough.  I think OSU should have made It though.

100% agree. Notre Dames not the 3rd best team in the country but they absolutely deserved their spot in the playoff.

Georgia and Ohio State would be more likely to beat Clemson or Alabama, but you cant talk when you lose by 30 to Purdue. And Georgia's 2nd loss was by 20.

Listened to much of the Fiesta Bowl on the radio today while driving. Benetti is really very good on the radio.

[southsider2k5 5,841]

Maybe Georgia should have spent more time practicing for the Texas game instead of being salty about missing the playoff.

I can verify that Texas is not a top 5 team
