I feel like the days of this are dwindling unless something major again changes with NIL or a major staffing evolution happens to support head coaches (yes i realize some are trying this GM model) at the top level, though we'll continue to see more long terms at smaller schools that don't have much money or success anyways.
Right now the pendulum has swung from treating athletes basically as slaves to seasonal free agents, thats a rough gig to manage
yup, like wild card playin games that are coordinated into games that haven't been yet played for the first level
If it happened this year it might be say
Georgia vs OU and Texas vs Ole Miss , then the winners of those games play
I think the core problem is the fan base actually has the like the coach and this is rarely the case by the time they are fired.
Coach O probably could have been reassigned to mascot and everyone would have been like yea that works.
just to throw some gas on the fire , but vanderbilt doesn't even summon enough viewers to pass a flailing Florida

Its not near enough to potentially put your school and athletic department at the mercy of some penny pinching, value scraping, PE vultures either.
USC and Michigan are correct in trying to kill this, PE scraps everything for parts leaving them shells of their former selves.
The way texas has played down the stretch we can win.
It depends on Sark insists on deviating from what working or leans into that.
This is basically a play in game coming off a bye week. This tells us everything about our staff and our team
I autocorrected but left it since you responded super fast.
Maybe we move down to 3 after the SEC championship , but we'd be at 2 watching everything from a hot tub
It will be hilarious because if we win out A&M at Texas will be a top 5 match up.
Texas would be ranked 2nd in the country and still miss the SEC
Edit : r/wouldnt/would
There is no reality a 10-2 texas with wins over Georgia, ou , a&m , and vandy doesn't make it in.
That's a set of wins no one in the country has anything comparable on.
We'd probably be ranked 6th
Either way getting there is the challenge. Take care of the wins and we're in.
I'm still of the mind 9-3 is a roll of the dice and depends on what happens elsewhere
Byu will probably be ranked 15 after that mess . Their saving grace is Virginia and Luisville both lost. Probably right on the other side of wherever Miami ends up
Wish I had the old window cougar meme to post
Auburn boosters would hard pivot into Durkin if he beat Bama. Them not hiring him would be absolutely shocking in that scenario. It is pretty much the only thing they care about
