Big win for Jeff Lebby and the Mississippi State program. Bulldogs investing in a huge way and committed to building around Taylor, who is clearly a generational talent.

With incentives, the deal could potentially climb above $9 million.

Of the three-loss teams, LSU has the best chance, albeit a difficult path, to move up the most. Lane Kiffin and the No. 21 Tigers get No. 6 Texas at home this week, No. 8 Tennessee on the road Nov. 21 and then Arkansas on the road to end the season. Win all three, and the Tigers have a great chance to get in. Will take their best football of the season.
Ditto from someone who worked at the WWL for nearly two decades. Never felt one bit of pressure to push any agenda on anything I wrote or any TV, radio or podcast appearances I made. But I also understand how those conspiracy theories can take on a life of their own.
Fair enough--some form of bias exists in all of us. But if you think Dantonio, Tedford, Williams, Maisel, Harlan, Dannen--or any of the committee members--make their rankings decisions based on what Rece, Booger, Heather, Finebaum, Joel Klatt at Fox, etc., have to say, then I respectfully disagree with you. I guess I have more faith in the integrity of the committee than others do. As for committee makeup--and check my math--but I believe only 2 of the 8 CFP chairpersons were/are sitting SEC ADs at the time. And this year's committee has representation across a wide variety of conferences. And as much as I believe in the persuasive powers of the great Rece Davis, he has not yet perfected the committee mind meld just yet.
What a great read by @walexander on the frontrunner for National Coach of the Year honors.
Dig graves. Strip mine coal. Bartend. Chase pigs on reality TV.
In his 20s, UCLA coach Bob Chesney did a lot of other things to afford the pursuit of his dreams.

Makes sense. What the hell do a bunch of fans who live for Saturday afternoons, spend through the nose to travel to games and buy tickets and bleed their schools’ colors, matter? Ask NASCAR about alienating its core fan base and how that’s worked out for them.
NEW: CFP executive director Rich Clark on fans against the 24-team College Football Playoff:
"We’re aware of the fan sentiment, and that many fans aren’t in favor of expansion. That was certainly weighed into the decision and it was considered. But ultimately, we just need to make a spectacular Playoff."
