Yep, can't imagine working those long hours and having your job security rest in the hands of college kids.

I mean, rock on, good luck. But I'd ask Nebraska, Michigan, Tennessee, Texas, Miami, and Notre Dame about that. You're immune, are ya? Okay.

From that list, the prevailing thing I can tell is:
Don't get put on probation (Miami)
Don't hire multiple bad coaches in rapid succession. (All but Texas).
Texas, I can't figure out what went wrong. Long time successful coach decides to put his team into a dumpster, followed by someone who cut half the team.

That's precisely the tricky part. They don't grow on trees. Easy to forget when you have the best coach of the modern era and possibly of all time. I'm suggesting that once you lose that EXTREME advantage, you're in for a rude awakening. But I suppose I could be wrong. Like I said, good luck with that.

Also: holy HELL the B1G is fucking terrible. Any half-decent team should easily run the table. I'd expect MSU to easily take the rest. They might as well not even send a team from the West.

Wisconsin hasn't lost by 35 points since 2008
and it was to a Big Ten school
. Actually, the more interesting fact is that Wisconsin hasn't lost by more than 10 points in five years, and only two of those games were lost by more than 7 points. Wisconsin isn't the type of team to get blown the fuck out. They play a steady game until the last quarter, and then fuck up hard and manage to lose the game.

See: 2010 - 2013 Rose Bowls, last week at LSU, every loss from the 2012 season.

Gordon rushed for 38 yards against Western Illinois today and you have a QB that went 8-24 and 50 yards last week when it actually matter against good competition. Put into MSU position today, Oregon absolutely would have been blown you the fuck out. MSU is better than you.

Wiscy can't claim to be the best anything right now, even in the B1G.

Let me guess: You didn't actually watch the Western Illinois game and are just latching on to one stat. They put two extra men in the box and run-blitzed when Gordon was in the backfield. Wisconsin still ended with 167 yards rushing and 456 total yards but somehow it was an offensive disaster because one guy didn't put up big stats, is that right?

But but Greg McElroy put Oklahoma on upset alert, and he is a former Alabama QB so he knows his college football right?

I actually did watch the first half. It was 2-0 before a TD just a few minutes before halftime and I didn't bother watching with the rest. I never said "offensive disaster", those are your words. I am making the claim that their offense isn't very good at the moment.

If you want to brag about second half stats against W. Illinois, feel free. The argument was that Wiscy is the best in the B1G. There is little evidence to back that up. The conference is completely wide open and I wouldn't be shocked to see Minnesota take the West

Edit: was a safety, not a fg. My bad

Wow what a day for the BIG! Penn State made Akron look good for the first half, but at least they won in the end.

Edit: I missed the first 3 quarters of ND v Mich. What the hell happened to Mich?

How in the world is North Carolina still ranked and BYU isn't? Coaches poll is a bigger joke then I even remember it being!
