How about math?

OM vs Mizzou is 9 vs 13. 9+13 = 22
Bama vs Tennessee is 6 vs 14. 6+14 = 20

This is true, but did you see Tennessee vs Arkansas? If Tennessee plays like that against Alabama, they'll lose 70-0.

Mizzou @ Ole Miss not being on this list isn't the slightest bit surprising, despite it being one of the top 5 matchups based on rankings (polls or computers). SEC bias in full effect!

re: The agreement Demond Williams signed with Washington included a provision. Uh oh, LSU.

Contracts override just about anything else. This will never make it to the Supreme Court, but if it did I guarantee they’d rule in favor of enforcing the contract.

re: I have a feeling Lane may never get to coach at LSU

Lane is going to be nails at LSU….you have to work super hard to not win there.

For as long as he stays, which is until the Dolphins give him a call. LSU may have money and can outspend most college programs with ease, but every NFL team can outspend LSU several times over.

Once Lane fails in the NFL Alabama will call him up and he'll win several championships before riding off into the sunset.

He's not going to be at LSU for 4 years. His dad was an NFL lifer. If/when Todd Bowles is fired, there will be non-stop questions about when (not if) Kiffin takes over.

re: Mizzou fans planning on Drink leaving CoMo?

Drink isn't the end all be all. He recruits in the low 20's and hits the portal hard. He's 7-16 vs the top 25. That's not awesome for an $11M dollar coach

I agree. Drink is a good coach, but he's also been a tease. Maybe he can improve and finally start winning some big games at Mizzou. Maybe not. In any case, by no means do I think Drink should be fired. Absolutely not. I think it's silly to fire a good coach because they're close, but not quite reaching the level you want them to reach. I just don't think it would be the End of the World if he leaves for another job.

I think Drink is replaceable. Meaning, it's reasonably possible Mizzou could hire a replacement who is at Drink's level. But there are no guarantees. Mizzou is totally capable of fumbling the hiring of a new HC.

P.S. I think Drink's salary is $9 million, not $11 million. Maybe he renegotiates and gets $11 million this season. Who knows?

If Drink leaves I'd take Franklin in a heartbeat. Franklin might want to go to a place like Mizzou because having a single disappointing season wouldn't get him fired. Most bluebloods have unrealistic expectation these days.

Dealing with NIL and the portal are absolute nightmares and being a college coach is a 24/7/365 job. I think there's definitely an improvement in QoL when you're an NFL coach.

NFL free agency is like NIL and the transfer portal, but with actual contracts. Players can't just leave at a moment's notice.

He's going to win this game and be a shoe in for the playoffs.

No chance does Florida pick him up if he can make the playoffs at Ole Miss.

We're going to wind up with Drink (who has only won 1 significant game) or some mid-level P5 coach.

I feel like an A&M fan. Furk.

Florida is like the Dallas Cowboys. Big name program, but upper level management is dysfunctional as frick. They'll never return to prominence until they clean house at the top. Getting a new head coach isn't nearly enough.

If Drink takes the Florida job he'll regret it. He's the king in Missouri. He'll be looking for a new job in 5 years if he goes to Florida.

That might be true, but even if it is, it wasn't because Tennessee is afraid of a Nebraska juggernaut. It's not the 1990s anymore.
