    I was kinda hoping Graham would win today. I think it's more likely he would accept a HC position at a power program than RichRod. Rich was burned by the Michigan experience.

    If neither of them leaves, the only shake ups in the conference will be assistants.

    Rich Rod has got to be a candidate at Florida.

    Graham...wouldn't it be ironic if he went to Michigan.

    Well, because he thought it was good sport. Because some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn.

    Foley said a week or two ago that Richrod and Mullen are not candidates, FWIW.

    Why do I never hear David Cutcliffe's name for these job openings? To take Duke to a division title and back-to-back bowl games is as impressive a feat as there can be.

    ADs at football schools aren't gonna hire a guy who refuses to do what the AD says. Cutcliffe was fired at Ole Miss after he refused to fire some assistants after his first losing season.

    On this thanksgiving weekend and final day of the regular season, I am grateful that this is not also the last day of our team's season. Even if we end up in the Vegas bowl (I hope not) on the early side of the bowl schedule, I'm glad that this team will have another month to practice, and a much much shorter time period between the end of the season and spring ball. Despite all of the challenges going into this season after the last two years, this team stepped up to get some big wins this year.

    This is a UF.net post worth reading:

    Scoring was up, but so were non-offensive TDs. We had eight such TDs last year, compared to only two last year.

    "Pure" offense PPG last year was 28 PPG. This year, it was 25.5 PPG. Turnovers and special teams truly were the reason behind our increase of 3 wins.

    This is cool:

    RB Devontae Booker heads Utah’s Pac-12-high 23 academic honorees

    To be eligible for selection to the All-Academic first team, second team, or honorable mention, a player required a 3.0 and an appearance in 50 percent of his team’s games. Twenty-three Utes were honored in all, the most of any Pac-12 team (Stanford was second, with 18).

    All conference team to be announced tonight. The Utes could have up to 4 first team players: Nate, Andy, Devonte, and Tom. I think Nate and Tom are locks.

    Happy to see TCU #3 in CFP -- what excuse are those few just-look-at-TCU-also-playing-poorly Utah fans will use next?

    That's pretty good. Better than I would have thought. Nice to see Lotulelei in there.

    Mariota...what a great kid. And, he's a science major, even more kudos from me -- not that it means much.

    Just saw Trevor Mattich breaking down the playoff scenarios on espn. The hosts asked him what happens if Alabama loses. He said the SEC won't have a team in the playoff. The hosts were flabbergasted that he would suggest the mighty SEC isn't guaranteed a spot. It was funny and sad at the same time

    I would bet that unless Alabama gets completely humiliated, it wont fall farther than 4. matich must also be assuming that everyone else will win, which is not a given for Oregon, FSU, OSU or Baylor.

    He was. His point was the next ranked SEC team lost to Alabama, which be feels doesn't give them any argument to put a 2 loss SEC team in.

    I was very impressed too, but more impressed, frankly, by the Ute representation on the All-Academic team. (We had the most, ahead of Stanford.) Booker as the top scholar on the team was a pleasant surprise. He doesn't sound like a scholar. Goes to show how appearances can be deceptive.

    You could say the same thing about All-Academic teams as well. Look at how many kids have a major of Undeclared. Sociology and Liberal Studies.

    It looks like Utah has play makers in every facet of the game.

    Offense: Booker
    Defense: Orchard
    Kicking: Philips
    Punting: Hackett
    Returns: Clay

    That's pretty well balanced.

    Yeah, Booker's a Sociology major. Still, he's going to class and doing the work. The U. has a very good academic support program and deserves props for that. (It goes 'way beyond tutors and such.)
