McElwain's post game press conference sounded like he's already gone / has no interest in doing this another day. Bet he and UF agree to half the buyout tomorrow and he's gone before Monday.
Well done Sir.

To be fair, UMass looks like they may be the best 1-6 team out there. Lost @ Tenn. 17-13. Nevertheless...
I'm trying to figure out how Notre Dame is ranked #5 and tOSU is #3 when ND's only loss is by one point to the #2 team in the nation and tOSU got trounced at home by Oklahoma. ND has blown out everyone else they've played.

Our friend John Currie has a tough decision to make in Knoxville. Not a good situation for him to be in. First year AD, and needs to decide when to pull the trigger on Butch Jones.

Because OSU is OSU and ND was a complete dumpster fire last year. I know it isn't supposed to matter, but it does influence perception.
*I hate OSU.
Because there is no team that's gets a greater bump than Ohio State. Say what you will about the SEC, but O$U always gets the benefit of doubt. Why? Because the make the NCAA the most money.

I hate both teams, but TITCR. If ND wins out -- and I think they will -- they are in. Should be interesting to see how it plays out. I think it comes down to picking between OSU and Clemson for the final spot.
It was a rhetorical question. I'm also perplexed how Penn State got to #2, thus becoming tOSU's Big Win !
Also, how the hell did Penn State only drop to #7 ?
I know you know how this works, but you are asking the questions...
Penn State lost by one on the road to Ohio State... How far should they have fallen? Again, not that I think it should matter, but they easily covered the ~6 point spread and probably outperformed expectations.
None of this stuff even matters yet. Things will work themselves out over the next few weeks as more and more teams get 2nd and 3rd losses.
I know you are nervous about UGA getting left out of the playoff, but they are in a tough spot. Assuming they don't step on their dick (as they are prone to do), that SEC Championship Game could be a play-in game for the playoff. Will it be fair if they are left out of the playoff with their only loss to Alabama? Probably not. But unless that game is close, nobody is going to want to see it again in the playoffs if there are other 1 loss teams out there.
Personally, I expect UGA to lose a game before that Alabama game... So, again, it will work itself out.
Butch is gone
Florida makes UT look like idiots by firing McIlwaine 2.5 years in vs watching the Vols flounder for 5 years under Jones.
Funny that the Gators want McIlwaine to take half the 13 mil buyout he owed for the "good" of the university.
