Dan Mullen is interviewing at Miami

[cajunhawk]

One guy I don't hear any talk about is Larry Fedora. He did nothing but win at southern miss and is doing the same at North Carolina. If I'm an SEC school with a huge budget, that's a guy id go after.

At UNC...if he builds a winner...do they pay him like one? Roundball rules the roost on Tobacco Road...but if they beat Clemson Saturday...there is a high possibility UNC gets in the 4 team playoff. For a school that puts all its eggs in one basket...could be time to diversify.

HUD isn't going anywhere!! He can get a good Southland Conf job or another Suckbelt job but upward mobility is in doubt now.. His record of not winning an outright title and having the wheels fall off this year seals his fate. But he should take solace in knowing that he did good by not taking TULANE JOB.

Body of work is still there for the time being. The shine isn't completely off the apple. Like I said before...if somehow he moves on...right now it's the best case scenario. We don't want the downward trend to continue...which shows no sign of reversing course. We want the notoriety of sending a coach to a better paying gig. Grass isn't always greener...but the yard isn't looking that good anymore.

If they beat Clemson I don't see them getting into top 4. UNC scheduled 2 FCS schools this year and it's being held against them. They beat Clemson I believe you will see Ohio state back in the top 4.

If that the thinking...why not put Ohio State in over Iowa...Iowa hasn't played anyone this year...Michigan State will be their first ranked opponent...in the Conference Title Game. Conference Champion pressure will always win out...unless it's against the SEC.

Edit: Looks like Wisconsin and Northwestern where ranked when Iowa played them...still though.

Not saying it should matter but I'm willing to bet good money UNC doesn't make it regardless of win.

I'd argue Clemson would still have a better resume than both Ohio St and UNC and should stay in top 4 with a loss.

I haven't seen a non-SEC school get the title game push while not being conference champ since Oklahoma got the nod in 2003 over USC. Internal pressure by the conferences themselves will also be exerted...how ____ed would the ACC be if they lost out on a playoff spot?

To be fair though, they had FBS schools back out last minute which left them no choice but it still is what it is. They also have a loss to a 3 win South Carolina. I agree with you, I don't see them getting in.

The committee makes up the rules as they go. If it means they can get an Ohio St over UNC or Clemson, they will play the schedule card and they lack of conference title card. Sad but true.

I don't see the difference between a power 5 playing 2 FCS or 2 bottom G5 teams. I also agree that the USC loss will hurt them as well.

Like I said in post to hawk, the committee makes up rules as they go to hold teams back and/or to boost other teams.

Seeing as the P5 conferences conspired to create the playoff...they would exert pressure to take the conference champions if it got close at all.

Not directed at anyone, but why would a coach leave an ACC school for the SEC? It is easier to win a national championship in the ACC than the SEC, see Florida State and maybe Clemson this year. The competition is better in the SEC which it makes it harder to run the table. Unless the coach is all about the money, if I was them I would stay in the ACC. You also get to watch better basketball.

Not sure if I buy that. You have to be undefeated to get a shot at the nc from the ACC while you can if it with one loss from the SEC. Also , don't be fooled by the ACC, big 10 , etc. the difference between their league and the sec is not what it used to be.

True, but how many 1 loss teams are in the SEC. It is still easier to go undefeated in the ACC than it is to have one loss in the SEC, in my opinion. Also if there is less deference between the leagues why jump ships?
