Michigan and our totally destined for the NFL head coach are now almost playing with house money. Huge matchup with little brother this weekend, if Rudock can continue his Trent Dilfer impression and the D and run game keep dominating they may have a chance. Getting both them and ohio state at home this year looked to be a wasted opportunity but I'm really impressed so far. Their sole loss was a close game to the best team in the PAC 12. No delusions of championships yet but things look good.
Speaking of the PAC12 it sounds like USC's HC has a pretty serious alcohol problem right now, showing up drunk to meetings and possibly games as well. From a football standpoint does anyone think USC may use this leave of absence as a way to move on to another HC? I don't know how committed to him their admin is. Rough situation all around.

Steve Sarkasian has been fired by USC.
Dude is outta control with drinking and pain pills apparently.
Quote:
"After careful consideration of what is in the best interest of the university and our student-athletes, I have made the decision to terminate Steve Sarkisian, effective immediately," USC athletic director Pat Haden said in a statement.
On Sunday, Sarkisian was asked to take an indefinite leave of absence. Haden said Sunday it was "clear to me that he was not healthy."
A player told ESPN via text that Sarkisian "showed up lit to meetings again today." Another source said he showed up Sunday morning and "appeared not normal," and then was told to leave.
"They wouldn't let him come to practice," the source said.
Sarkisian is going through a divorce. His behavior while apparently under the influence of alcohol and painkillers at the Salute to Troy function in August drew national headlines, and he later apologized. He also added then that he would be getting unspecified treatment, but didn't believe he had a drinking problem, blaming his unsteady appearance on combining alcohol and medication.

What a day for coaches... now Steve Spurrier has resigned his position with South Carolina.
The "ole ball coach" is a legend IMO...love him or hate him and he had plenty of people fall into both categories.
Wonder if it's a health thing based on the timing.

Boy, sounds like a pretty sad situation for "Coach Sark". First the Kiffin fiasco and now this.

On the levels of losing that needs to be in the "I'm going to murder a baby" tier. Unbelievable end for Michigan to lose. If that punter gets murdered in his sleep no one will shed a single tear

That is way up there in most shocking endings ever. Never really seen a botched punt snap to lose the game.

USC A.D. Pat Haden collapsed on the sidelines before this game. Hope he is ok and looked OK as he walked off under his own power. Been a pretty miserable week for him.

Guess I haven't watched USC in awhile, when did they switch to those clear chrome facemasks? I likes it.

Second week in a row with a special teams disaster to end a game, this time FSU gets a 56 yard FG to win blocked and Georgia Tech runs it back 78 yards for a TD to win.

Wow. More unlikely looking than the Stanford/CAL play of working... but it did.

The list of errors the ACC acknowledged:
• Replay official Andrew Panucci should have ruled Miami back Mark Walton was down before releasing the ball on one of the laterals. If the proper call had been made, the game would have ended in a Duke victory.
Said Duke coach David Cutcliffe after the game: "I'm going to just tell you like it is: I thought the guy was down. And I think pictures will prove me right."
• The on-field officials failed to penalize Miami for an illegal block in the back at the Miami 16-yard line. If called, the ball would have been placed at the Miami 8-yard line and the game would have been extended for an untimed down.
• The on-field crew failed to penalize Miami receiver Rashawn Scott for leaving the bench and running onto the field before the play ended. The penalty would not have negated the touchdown because it would have been enforced as a dead ball foul.
• The block in the back penalty that was called -- at the Duke 26-yard line -- was picked up after the officials conferred, which is appropriate. They correctly determined that the block was from the side. The replay official was not involved in the decision to pick up the flag; however, referee Jerry Magallanes did not effectively manage communication and properly explain why the flag was picked up.

Playoff rankings out
1. Clemson
2. LSU
3. Ohio State
4. Alabama
5. Notre Dame
6. Baylor
So wow they hate the Big 12 and still value the name over everything. Though I actually like seeing Baylor at 6 because now they have all the motivation in the world to drop 100 points on someone to try and actually get the committee's attention. I also am confused why Alabama is 4 and Florida is 10 when Florida has a better resume across the board and they both have 1 loss.

The problem is that Baylor doesn't have anything resembling a quality win right now. Their schedule is backloaded though so if they can make it through the OU/OSU/TCU gauntlet in November unscathed they won't have any issues climbing the rankings.
And I'm sure Will Grier's suspension plays a big part in Alabama being ahead of Florida. I don't agree that Florida has a better resume though - they played no one in non-conference play while Alabama has a blowout win over a 7-2 Wisconsin team. They've looked fairly similar in conference play so Alabama is rewarded for scheduling a good opponent out of conference and winning handily.

Actually as we saw last year, Baylor and TCU are going to have a huge problem making the playoff even if they win out (no title game again likely to come into play). To have Notre Dame ahead of them is the tell, Notre Dame's best moment this season is a loss that they were handily behind before a late rally. Basically if Clemson kept their foot on the gas, Notre Dame gets blown out and is probably outside the top 10. Instead they closed the gap and it now looks like a "good loss", even if watching the game they looked badly outmatched.
But as I've said Baylor (and TCU) now know they have to basically historically destroy teams to get notice. I'm looking forward to seeing if one (or both) drops 100 points on someone in the next few weeks. Baylor in particular has had chances to go for it, getting into the 60's in the third quarter a few times. I'd love to see a 105-17 game personally.
