Alabama yes, but who is your second SEC team playing for the title? Georgia faces Bama in the SEC championship, Florida will most likely get trounced @ FSU next saturday, and LSU has two losses.

And what if Notre Dame beats USC? Then it is a mute point.

They didn't earn it last year, and they've done even less to earn it this year.

College football. Where every game matters. For about 5 teams. For every other team results don't matter at all, either because even winning every game gets you no where, or you are in the SEC and losses don't count against you like they do everyone else.

Oregon loses tonight , ND loses to USC, Bama beats UGA, and Florida gets in AWWESOME!

If FSU blows out Florida, and USC can upset ND, maybe FSU can make the title game (with a win in the ACC title game)

THEN UGA SHOULD GET IN BY DEFAULT

Haha... I knew Alabama would slip back into the title game. Today was a bloodbath for the remaining undefeated teams. If it's Alabama vs. Notre Dame for the national title the point spread would probably be about two TD's. Hopefully USC spares us that and beats ND.

If Bama beats UGA and Florida beats FSU and ND lose's to SC it can happen again. I'm a FSU fan so I hope my team can slide in the back door. We have no love from the computers so I don't see it happening. Last week we didn't even move up a spot.

[emac213]

So with everything that happen today who gives us the best NC game?

I like this scenario

[ChadFL]

I really hope it's not Florida who slips into the title game. They've been garbage since the Georgia game. They lost to Georgia, then beat crappy Missouri and LA-Lafayette teams by 7 points a piece and were unimpressive again today beating 1-AA Jacksonville St. 23-0.

I wonder where Ohio St. finishes this year in the AP poll. The Coaches poll does;t rank them due to probation but AP does. Coming into this week they were #6 an they beat Wisconsin to improve to 11-0. All they have left is Michigan. I could see them ending up as high as #2 or 3 in the final AP poll if nobody else finishes undefeated.

Last night was upset sat most def. I wonder what the Bowl projection ppl will now put everybody w/all the upsets last night. (even Louisville, I want to play in the Orange)

[supersix4]

Where is all the Alabama hate when they lost, now seeing 2 of the 3 undefeated's go down, with the third almost assuredly going to lose to USC

NC: Bama over Florida 35-17

To do that, they'll have to beat Florida State. I haven't seen anything out of the Gators to lead me to believe that will happen. Certainly the defense will keep them in the game, but the offense can't score.

Still, they weren't supposed to beat LSU and South Carolina, either.

Watching Oregon and K-State lose last night, all I could think was "The BCS gods have spoken. They want Bama."

Man, I love college football!

Yeah, I think it's going to be an Alabama/Florida national title game as well. Notre Dame will lose to USC, Florida will beat Florida State, and Alabama will destroy Georgia.

Derek Dooley will not return as Tennessee's coach, the school announced on Sunday.

The process for hiring a replacement will begin immediately, and Dooley will not coach the Volunteers' final game of the season at home against Kentucky on Nov. 24. Offensive coordinator Jim Chaney will serve as the interim coach for that game.

"I am sorry we could not generate enough wins to create hope for a brighter future," Dooley said in a statement released by the school. "Although progress was not reflected in our record, I am proud of the strides we made to strengthen the foundation for future success in all areas of the program.

"During the last 34 months, I've given my all for Tennessee, and our family appreciates all this university and the Knoxville community has given us."

There is a press conference scheduled for Sunday at 2 p.m. ET at Neyland Stadium. There, athletic director Dave Hart will address the media and Tennessee fans regarding the decision. The press conference will also be streamed online through the school's website.

"We very much appreciate the effort and energy that Derek Dooley and his staff have poured into our football program at the University of Tennessee," Hart said in the university statement. "Derek and I met early this morning, and I informed him that I believed a change in leadership, despite the positive contributions he has made to the overall health of the program, was in the best long-term interests of Tennessee football. We will immediately begin the search for the best possible candidate to assume this leadership role."

The decision comes after an embarrassing 41-18 loss to in-state rival Vanderbilt on the road and a week after a 51-48 overtime loss to Missouri at home. Dooley knew that he would likely be coaching for his job in 2012, and the final result is far from unexpected. The issue now for Hart and the Tennessee administration is finding a suitable replacement after two unsuccessful attempts at landing the next long-term coach.

The short list for the Vols obviously includes former Bucs and Raiders coach John Gruden, one of the most popular names in coaching since he took his current broadcasting job with ESPN.

According to CBS Sports NFL Insider Jason LaConfora, both Tennessee and Arkansas are targeting Gruden. Sources say that Arkansas is prepared for a bidding war, and current Browns owner Jimmy Haslam will be no doubt be pushing for Gruden at Tennessee - where Haslam is a top booster. LaConfora points out that Gruden's wife attended Tennessee, and the lifestyle college coaching presents may make it more intriguing than a NFL job.

Gruden, who could in the end opt to stay at ESPN, has tremendous leverage, and will have NFL opportunities as well, but according to league sources, as he has made calls identifying possible staff members, his focus has seemed more on the college game, asking questions about recruiting and issues that do not relate to pro football. Numerous sources who have talked to him in recent weeks came away with the impression that Gruden was more serious about return to coaching now than at any time since he left, although it also became clear that it still would have to be a perfect situation to lure him from his current job, where he is heavily compensated yet still gets to have a fairly normal lifestyle with his family (as opposed to his maniacal approach to coaching nearly round-the-clock).


Dooley leaves Tennessee with a 4-19 record in SEC play, only one bowl appearance and no winning seasons. He was hired from Louisiana Tech after Lane Kiffin left to take the coaching job at USC.

I don't want to go to the big 10

[ChadFL]

I wonder if Oregon wasn't written off too soon following their loss. They're still at #4 in the Coaches poll, a major component of the BCS. Assuming Notre Dame and Georgia lose they could find their way back into the top-2.

Of course even though FSU is behind Oregon in the Coaches poll it would seem FSU has more room for improvement as their SOS will improve if they beat Florida. They still have to win the conference title game too, but their opponent in that game will be a crappy 4+ loss team.

I'd still like to see Oregon Bama over anything else.
