USF at Memphis is the most intriguing matchup. Tulsa and Navy could be pretty interesting as well.

Early week! 60% of the conference will be done before we kick off mid-afternoon (overtime anomalies notwithstanding).

BTW, Cincinnati is in full meltdown mode. Tuberville lashed out at a fan as he ran off the field Saturday and it went viral. Probably actually helps, as some negative PR makes it easier for them to cut ties after the season...

Houston must be into deep soul searching as well. They did everything humanly possible to position themselves for entry into a P5 conference and then............were left at the altar. Their coaching exodus should begin right after the season ends

Navy most likely decides the West. If Navy wins, even if they lose another game, they have the tie breaker over Houston and Tulsa. If Tulsa wins, then Houston might still have a shot, but Tulsa would be in the driver's seat.

Tuberville is a gone pecan at Cincinnati.

I heard a little rumbling this weekend that some fans want them to go after Les Miles. I'd like that very much. :mrgreen: A former SEC and therefore-by-default "big name", but one who won simply by the power, money, and prestige of the program he ran and the budget to hire top coordinators, but by no means of his own... heck, they would be firing one to hire one.

Les Miles has been blunt in saying he will only consider P5 jobs. That's from national news sources.

Baton Rouge sources (which I trust far less), claim Baylor, Texas, FSU, Purdue in that order of liklihood. Or course they are also assuming LSU gets Jimbo Fisher.
