Watching UCLA-Cal on ESPN and, while going through Washington-Wazzu highlights. a commentator said "Yeah, let's break up the Pac-12. That's a good idea!" as if ESPN didn't have a direct hand in the break up of the Pac-12.

If UGA, Michigan, UW, and FSU win out, it would be the least controversial playoffs.

The undefeateds winning out makes things real easy:
UGA at #1 playing #4 Florida State at the Sugar Bowl.

#2 Washington playing #3 Michigan at the Rose Bowl.

The undefeateds losing is chaos mode:
Oregon likely goes to #1 (they’re ranked higher than Alabama right now)
Alabama goes to #2
If Texas wins the Big 12 they go to #3
If Texas loses you have to look at a one loss, ACC champion Louisville as #3
From there it’s a toss up for #4 between Georgia and Washington. Personally, but not without bias, I think Washington should get it considering they had an arguably tougher schedule.
 
#2 Washington playing #3 Michigan at the Rose Bowl.

As much as I despise MI and the new system, this is as close to how God intended as possible.

Louisville lost to Kentucky to drop to 10-2. They're dead.
 
While there is a ton of hate for Ryan Day in Ann Arbor, he’s given himself some humanity back- after Zinters really bad injury where he broke two bones in his left leg, Day used the time while he was being stablilized to console Zach’s parents in the tunnel. Nice thing to do for a tough injury.
 
Indiana has fired football coach Tom Allen, sources confirmed to ESPN on Sunday, a day after the Hoosiers completed their third consecutive losing season.

Indiana reached national prominence in 2020, as the team went 6-2 during the COVID-shortened season and finished No. 12 nationally, its best finish since 1967 (No. 4). In March 2021, Indiana rewarded Allen with a new seven-year contract that increased his salary to $4.9 million annually and included a buyout of $20.8 million if the school chose to fire him before Dec. 1, 2023. The buyout would have dropped to about $8 million in 2024.

Couldn't wait a week??

He knows where the bodies are buried and agreed to go quietly.

If they don’t hire someone tomorrow, then the AD needs to be fired. What a waste. The only justification for that move was that a specific person was only available before the first.

Don't worry the B10 makes enough money they can set it on fire whenever they desire.
 
The remaining two teams in the Pac-12 are reportedly on the verge of aligning with another conference for the 2024 season.

According to Ross Delenger of Yahoo Sports, Oregon State and Washington State "are in the final stages of striking a football scheduling agreement" with the Mountain West Conference for next season "that includes a lucrative financial package for MWC schools."

Dellenger noted that an announcement of the scheduling alliance is expected "in the coming days." The agreement is only in place for one season for now and is "expected to include a fee of about $14 million paid to the Mountain West."

So my brother knows people up in Pullman. What he hears as rumors is that OSU and WSU are going to recreate the P12 (or whatever number) with MW teams. So it may go beyond a scheduling agreement.

Can't forget that OSU and WSU owns ALL of the P12 that is left. Which is a lot of money along with the names, rights, connections, etc. So they can do whatever they want to make a new Pac conference.

We are both kind of bummed that it sounds like Bozo St will be part of that new conference....

edit- looks like the P12 proceeds going to the two schools has been staid.

UNLV has a shot at going to the Mountain West championship game for the first time by beating San Jose State at home next Sat. The championship game is played at Allegiant Stadium in LV. Lose and they could be involved in a 4 way tie with one of the teams being SJ St.

UNLV, Boise State, and San Jose State all finished the regular season with 6-2 records in the Mountain West. Since the teams didn't face each other head-to-head and no team was ranked in the latest College Football Playoff rankings, the three-way tie was broken by computer rankings, which were provided by Anderson & Hester, Colley Matrix, Massey and Wolfe. Based on those rankings, UNLV and Boise State secured their spots in the championship game. The Rebels had the higher overall average ranking and earned the right to host the game, which is scheduled for Dec. 2 at Allegiant Stadium

Boise St (-2)/UNLV. I watched Boise St's game last Fri night against Air Force. RB Ashton Jeanty was a beast(14/107 rushing, 5/118 receiving).
