Yea it wouldn't have mattered if ND beat Stanford at this point. ND would have just ended 5th or 6th and still been in the Fiesta bowl. No way they were passing on a ND v OSU matchup. The two probably biggest teams for ratings in the country put together haha

I think FSU and a couple SEC teams are ahead of them most years in TV ratings

Think Chizik to Auburn as DC is possible?

It wouldn't hurt my feelings, I have no idea how the relationship between him and Jay Jacobs is.

Oh well...you get my point haha

What really hurts is that I will have 2 tickets to see the fiesta bowl. Have to give them up, way too much going on now

I believe I saw something last week that said OSU was in the highest and 2nd highest watched football games this year (not sure if either were surpassed last weekend)

EDIT...top 3 actually, found the list

Here's a look at the most-watched games of the 2015 college football season:
1. Michigan State-Ohio State (7.0 rating), 3:30 p.m. ABC, Nov. 21
2. Michigan-Ohio State (6.8), Noon, ABC, Nov. 28
3. Ohio State-Virginia Tech (6.6), 8 p.m., ESPN Sept. 7
4. LSU-Alabama (6.3), 8 p.m., CBS Nov. 7
5. Florida State-Clemson (5.5), 3:30 p.m., ABC Nov. 7
6. Michigan State-Michigan (5.1), 3:30 p.m., ESPN Oct. 17

More people tuned in to OSU v VT than LSU v Bama and that was a 2 vs 4 game haha

Every big 12 coach had the same top 4, with Oklahoma at 2.

Going off that it looks like they may jump to the top this year, I goggled it and don't see the top teams released for this year.

2014 ranking were
1 Bama
2 FSU
3 ND
4 Auburn
5 OSU

SEC Championship topped them all this past weekend, but the list is indicative of how there were a lack of must-watch games in the SEC this year.

Could have been helped by the fact that all the OSU fans were interested in that game though.

I get his point, I mean sure he showed up to work loaded now and then, he may have spewed some terrible language embarrassing himself and the entire program, but who among us hasn't don't that.

I mean, it's just football right? Not like he's one of the highest paid (and hence highest profile) employees on the USC campus ... oh wait.

It's not bad enough you embarrass yourself, your family (what's left of it) and the school but now you're going to sue?

Where is that quote from Ronald Reagan somebody help.

The ACC needs a strong Miami, so for that entire conferences sake they better hope he can do something positive.

No surprise with the 3 Heisman finalists: Henry, Watson, McCaffrey. I think Henry will win fairly comfortably but feel they definitely got these 3 right.

I think the surprise is that it's only 3.
