If nothing had changed from the meeting earlier this season, I'd agree. Tulane's head coach (and I think most of the staff) are gone after the season but staying for the playoffs... how much (if any) bearing will that have on this game? I'm betting not much... but it's worth a question. Ole Miss is without their head coach but most of the coaching staff in place for the playoffs with almost all of the defensive coaches returning including the DC now being the head coach. Ole Miss has the talent (I think???) to just beat Tulane IF they don't give up turnovers and make dumb penalties... but we'll see how they perform with the changes in place.

Tulane fans: "We need a coach that won't get hired away!" Tulane AD: "I got you fam!"

Yep, Penn State doesn't exactly sell "safe job" very well. I'd love to see Penn State hire Alabama's coach just to watch the chaos unfold, I'm not holding my breath for it to happen. Sark to the NFL is more likely IMO, and I'm not betting on that either... probably about 25% chance that happens this year. IF both happened, we'd have 8 SEC teams with new head coaches.

Nice place for Ole Miss to be in the next to last CFP rankings this season.

Very well could happen. Last year's 9-3 finish with THAT roster was labeled by many outside of Oxford as a big failure... he wasn't in any discussions to be fired from Ole Miss. Ole Miss fans were a tad disappointed with 9-3 but I didn't hear a peep about anyone wanting him fired. LSU would have considered firing him had the same exact thing happened there. Dan Mullen (among many others) can give good advice on "taking the bigger job" along with how secure that job probably is.

Supposedly the offensive staff is staying with Golding, I'm not sure if that includes OC Weiss Jr or not? The only names I'm seeing definitely gone are Kiffin and Glasscock (GM). Thomas (GM at LSU) may well return to Oxford for that role.

Hearing the same 83, Pete is HC... no interim tag. The OC hire will be huge for Pete, we'll who he gets.... and needs someone now.

Carter is in negotiations with Dan Mullen.

Nobody I know in Memphis is unhappy about this... I think that says something.

Rumormill has Judge being the only offensive coach staying in Oxford, Pete and most of the defensive staff are staying.

Sumrall held off on any decision until tomorrow and allegedly really wants the Ole Miss job if open... assuming Lane is headed to Baton Rouge, Sumrall is my first guess as the new Ole Miss coach.

True... but that's a different discussion. Take the top X teams with ZERO auto bids and I'm in... I think 12 is enough (I actually think 8 is fine) but I'm OK with 16. 16 is definitely enough.

Take the top 12 and have a playoff, zero auto bids.

2 out of 3 so far, depends on Auburn now. UGA in.

Isaac Smith is a helluva player, Ole Miss needs to portal that young man. Taylor has a ton of potential to be a very good player... we'll see how his passing progresses as he ages but not bad at all for a freshman. His running... damn he's elusive.
