who couldn't win his conference's championship or get his team to the playoffs and who played against Pac 12 defenses.

Heisman finalists are almost always offensive players. The requirements should also include those who played on a national championship team and those who received MVP awards in playoff games.

Bless his my-team-didn't-make-the-playoffs-this-year heart.

Hopefully the defense will be as different in these playoffs from their performance in the SEC championship game as they were last year.

Isn't this what college football is supposed to be about? Playing football one last time with your teammates, some of whom you will soon be playing against.

I just hope they don't play their backup QB.

Because the media is disrespecting Stetson.

I find it ridiculous that Klatt listed Hooker and Nix-both of whom could hardly even stay on the same field with Bennett in the head-to-head matchup. I guess all his MVP awards in big games don't mean anything to Klatt. I won't be listening to anything else this dufus says about college football.

If you're rewarding perseverance and hard work, it's Stetson, hands down. And none of the other quarterbacks mentioned have playoff, national championship, and conference championship MVP awards. None of them have won any of the above-mentioned games, either and one or more will not even have the opportunity to win a playoff game this year.

The embarrassing FL loss woke up the Gamecocks.

Nothing would be better (except GA going 15-0) than an Orange Bowl with two orange teams that lost to SC.

I am hoping for that too. Two orange teams that lost to SC in the Orange Bowl.

I think he turned it down because he's already experienced the firing thing. The only reasons for anyone to take the Auburn job is if a)He wants to be a head coach in the SEC or b)He's ready to retire and needs the big buyout money to do so. I don't think either one applies to Kiffin.

If mothers are concerned about their sons' morals, they will not want them playing for Freeze.

Those jokes brighten the day of our daughter who is a Bama grad.

Gator fans are wishing they could have played FL State's previous coach this year. At our house, we can bring laughter by saying only 3 or 4 words: "A and M", "Vanderbilt and Florida" or "SC and TN".

As a GA fan, unless MI has improved a lot since last December, GA wants Michigan.

Just like TN didn't deserve to be in the playoffs.

I agree. The only reason to go to Auburn is to get all the buyout money when you get fired.

That's what I'm thinking. And FL is a much better place for recruiting than AL while Saban is still there.

I hope Kiffin has enough sense to stay away from Auburn. Does he really want to go through the whole firing thing again? Malzahn was a good coach and at some point will be head coach at another Power 5 school-If I were GA Tech, I would be giving him serious consideration.

At least AtM won't suffer the embarrassment of being invited to a lesser bowl.

If he doesn't want to play for Jimbo, that may not even be an issue by the time he gets to college.

If the game were in Columbia, maybe. On the road, not a chance. Road games are the reason Alabama has 2 losses(by a total of 3 points) and possibly why the GA offense struggled yesterday at KY. And oh yes, why AK beat Ole Miss.

Actually, that would make sense. They would only have 1 loss and it would give another conference an opportunity.

The new coaches at LSU and USC both made it to the playoffs at their previous schools, so you're comparing apples and oranges. I could count such coaches on my 10 fingers.

I thought the same thing. Vandy is the hottest team in the SEC right now but unfortunately that will end next Sat. Missouri has to be the luckiest team in the SEC.

I live on one of the barrier islands near Charleston. I don't know anyone from Ohio (The people I know who moved from outside SC are most commonly from VA)and when people talk about Carolina, they are talking about the Gamecocks.

1. He couldn't be any worse as a head coach than Harsin and he'd be playing with much better players because of his recruiting ability. 2. If they won't try him as head coach for 2 years, the next coach should be required to retain him on the staff.

How was Cincinnati any different from the Big 10 champ in last year's playoff game? All I hear is crickets.
