One article that includes the above photo of Moore: https://soonersports.com/news/2007/9/26/208400845 Some quotes from that 2007 article... Reading them with today's reality changes the interpretation "I take pride in putting family first," Moore said. "My parents have always let me go my own way and I love them for that." "My dad told me when it's your time to always step up and take action," Moore said. "Take action and do what you have to do." "You've just got to realize that you have to live life like you can and live your life the right way," Moore said.

What a fool. Freeze was fired and did not coach for 2 years. Bobby Petrino was out of work for 1 year. Pitino was out of coaching for 1 year and had to climb back through Panithinaikos and Iona. Price was unemployed for 1 year and his consolation prize was UTEP. The big differences? 1 - 1 year has not yet passed. Let's see what happens. 2 - none of the above broke into another person's home and threatened murder-suicide (allegedly) among other things

I can imagine teams - esp UND - telling the NCAA to f-off. “We will practice when we want to.” Edited to add - someone else also had this idea….

Holy shit you dipshits: 9-3 Texas is probably in the playoffs

Not sure we'd have been allowed to play them twice. But not a bad idea going forward... -
Big12 played the following SEC games. MSU over ASU 24-20 Auburn over Baylor 38-24 Missouri over Kansas 42-31

This is exactly the type of game I would try to orchestrate if I were the Big12 commissioner wanting to get 2 teams into the playoff. Score kept close, "defensive struggle" (for those who do not watch), and large doses of Kevin Mar to help keep my thumb on the scale. And a dumbass coach going for 4th-and-2 where a field goal makes it a 2 score game.

11 plays 14; 12 plays 13 - these are play-ins for the real 11 and 12, but yes it is flawed. -

Given this is really just entertainment... Expand the playoffs to 14 teams. 12 selected as they are today. 2 more based on ratings and must have a winning record. Teams ranked 11-12 play the at-large "ratings teams" the same week as CCG - as play-ins. If the 2 at-large teams get crushed, who cares, we get another week of entertainment. If one or both win, we all win, dispatching a pretender before the get fed to the #5 team a week later. This year, Texas and LSU would be the at-large "ratings" teams (based on the above graphic). -

Functional morons - who are good (real or perceived) at something of high demand and low supply - always make their way into academic schools. Stanford, Texas, Vandy, Cal, Purdue, UCLA, USC, Michigan, etc. There is always a way. -
In addition to its own computer ranking system, Massey also collects data from many other computer ranking systems to create a composite ranking. I find it useful for 2 reasons: (1) it points me to other ranking systems an (2) it shows the overall range across the ranking systems. For the CFB top-6, I see the following range (composite ranking in parens) 1 - tOSU (1) : 1-3 2 - Indiana (2) : 1-9 3 - UGA (5): 2-12 4 - TTU (4) : 1 - 11 5 - Oregon (3) : 3-14 6 - Ole Miss (9): 4-18 UND (6): 2-14 BYU (7): 2-25 Texas (16): 10-27 Fwiw. Also - I had forgotten about the Billingsley system. I like it, but largely because it rewards Texas

Could this be the craziest coaching carousel of all time?

Fwiw... (csb?) To my knowledge, BYU also wants there to be several/many donors involved in any one specific endeavor. I know this from friends/colleagues involved w/ BYU and a handful of anecdotes shared with me. When my son played lacrosse at Texas, they played both Utah and BYU in the same year. Utah was in its final year before becoming a D1 team, and proceeded to demolish Texas. BYU did, too. When talking to some of the BYU parents at the game, I reflected on Utah becoming a D1 team. One BYU dad said, "Yes. One guy is donating enough to endow the program into perpetuity. He came to us first and the AD declined. Did not want a single donor with that much influence over the program. So he went to Utah and they said yes." Now, that could be more of BYU hating on Utah, but I had heard similar stories at other times. /csb?
