Never thought I would see the day when Indiana marches into Oregon and wins 

Not only that, but Oregon was dominated in the second half...if not for the interception return, would have been a 17 pt game.

 

Luke Fickell might not survive the week at Wisconsin if this type of play keeps up at home against Iowa.

SEC coaches are so annoying/obnoxious...

 

One thing's for sure, NIL is working to prevent superteams like Alabama, UGA or USC under Carroll from collecting all the talent.

Lots more parity in the Big Ten and SEC for sure...

 

Those that can't adjust like Franklin and Dabo now on the outside looking in...

If today's Illini game is any indication, Indiana is better than Ohio State.

James Franklin is out at Penn State. As someone who grew up in Michigan, he will be missed. Also, just letting the universe know, I would take a $49 million buyout.

I don't even follow college football, but I love the memes:

How much is Luke Fickell's buyout if the Badgers start over?

"This past offseason, the Wisconsin Badgers actually extended Luke Fickell, but his buyout remained at the same figure of $25 million. Firing Luke Fickell would result in the second-biggest buyout ever paid in College Football, behind only Texas A&M firing Jimbo Fisher. If there's a silver lining for Wisconsin it's the fact that rather than owing a massive sum upfront, they'll pay the buyout in monthly installments making it much easier to manage. Fickell's contract was structured so that the Badgers would only have to pay him 80% of his contract value, which does help if they need to move on..."

Kirby Smart $118 million, Kalen de Boer around $90 million buyouts...Norvell at FSU really big as well, Dabo at $60 million.

 

Jimbo Fisher's buyout from Texas A&M is set at approximately $76 million, making it the largest coaching buyout in college sports history.

This still strikes me as wild.  They had pretty much been lost in the woods until he got there after Paterno.  Dude has a couple of really bad losses in a row, and they are instantly writing a $50 million check.  I would almost bet money the next guy isn't as good.

Tomlin leaving the Steelers would be the wild one.

Most are focusing on Cignetti and Matt Rhule, a PSU alum and rebuilder of programs.

Hugh Freeze out at Auburn...

Dude has just failed his way up his entire career, probably will be on a short list of openings this upcoming offseason for no reason whatsoever

No. 9 Notre Dame (7-2, at-large) at No. 8 Oregon (8-1, at-large)

We don’t think Notre Dame will be out of the playoff bracket the rest of the season unless they lose. The Irish easily took down Navy and a trip to Pitt in Week 12 will bring out ESPN’s “College GameDay.” After Pitt, Notre Dame plays Syracuse and Stanford. It’s hard to see how anyone ousts the Irish from the playoff with a 3-0 finish even if you want to quibble with their schedule.
