    Possible but my thinking is that it would just increase the pressure on them while giving a bullseye for their opponents. I think it'd be a net loss purely from a win/loss perspective. I'm also speaking from the perspective of a USC fan who watched them be one of the better teams in the country by the end of the year last season turn into a complete dumpster fire when there was stuff to actually play for. Not comparing Urban to Lane of course.

    Specifically, no SEC team has given up fewer than 24 points yet in a bowl. And as I'm sure the B1G fans on this board will also note, two of the league's best teams aren't playing in bowls, which created some mismatches with SEC foes. The mismatches were offset by Wisconsin getting the Rose Bowl bid. If OSU were eligible it would have been in the Rose and UW would have been further down (NW's spot?). UM against SC wasn't a mismatch. PSU is, at best, the 3rd or 4th best team and I don't know that they would have a better chance against SC. Nebraska would have gotten UGA even if all big ten teams were eligible. So there were no mismatches with SEC teams. If they were eligible, there's a great chance an undefeated OSU team is playing ND for the title. If they were eligible, there's a great chance teams would've performed better against an opponent that actually had something to lose.

    When a rookie quarterback is given the entire offense to run on day 1 and told to throw a lot with a lot of below average talent around him and is productive that's pretty impressive. Wilson and Griffin are great too, of course. But they have a lot of simple reads and a good ground attack to lean on.

    The problem with Chip Kelly is that your defense becomes a glorified scout team for your offense instead of prepping for its next opponent.

    why would that be fun

    Lovie would be the most Buffalo hire ever

    Give up a touchdown on 3rd and goal from the 17 against a triple option team. Good going. GET THE [expletive] OUT LANE

    We're gonna lose to a sub .500 ACC team. Good way to set the tone for 2013.

    Is ol' Jerry really gonna let Garrett stick around? If so, I think the Bears job is the best on the market.

    Saban is going to want to be the GM as well. I think the Browns are the only fit, if he decides to go back to the NFL.
  11. SpongeWorthy
    Hiring Gruden and leaving Marinelli to run the defense would be pretty seamless. They've already worked together and been successful.
  12. SpongeWorthy
    And as long as people are groundlessly speculating about Brian Kelly I don't know why Saban's name wouldn't come up.

    Falcons OC Dirk Koetter lining up several HC interviews. Good offensive guy but he kinda sucked as a head coach at ASU.

    Judging by the stories that have come out in the last month, Knox's football days are over. The upside is we won't have to see replays of that grotesque injury.

    http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/chi-chicago-bears-new-coach-candidates-photos,0,3820002.photogallery Here is a pointless photo gallery of HC 'candidates' (I use this term loosely because many of those pictured are laughable) per Pompei. Clements, McCoy, both Grudens, O'Brien, and Shanahan are guys I'd be interested in.

    Devin is going rogue

    Lol

    I'm pretty bummed about the Bears. Romo is helping.
  19. SpongeWorthy
    People seem to think he's in line for the San Diego job

    What indication do we have that Emery has that kind of power I'd say the onus is on you to show that the general manager of the team doesn't. He wasn't able to hire his own head coach to begin with. We have an ultra conservative ownership group and just missed the playoffs by the narrowest of margins. It's no slam dunk but I bet Lovie is back.

    This.

    Michael Jenkins made that same catch against the Bears when he played with ATL to [expletive] us
