I thought of picking Indiana just to be cheeky (and because Indiana almost beat highly-ranked Ohio State teams in the past 2 seasons), but I had no idea what they would look like after Kevin Wilson.

For goodness sakes, this has nothing to do with an error in coaching and a very minor one, if any, in recruiting! Jimbo would instantly become the most coveted coach across the south and likely an even broader terrain. A bad season decimated by injuries is no grounds for firing a college coach who is the face of the program!

If this was a smaller program, I'd get the argument. But failure really isn't an option at programs like Florida State. Coaches have been fired there for less (look at Charlie Strong at Texas for example).

You go and ask the boosters for $40m to fire the coach (and then whatever it takes to hire a new one of that caliber...) after one bad season.

Washington State (The Cougars can't afford a loss now, and I find it hard to believe they'll lose to Arizona, whose worse than Cal)

Arizona beat Cal literally last night, has a better record, and plays in a tougher division... but they're somehow worse than Cal?

The odds of Duke getting 2 wins from Army, Wake, and Georgia Tech are very low. However, Duke only needs 1 win to go bowling because they're usually one of the best APR teams, and there won't be enough 6-6 teams to fill the bowls.

Wisconsin has beaten literally nobody, play in one of the worst P5 divisions, and have weak crossover games. They were rather lucky to beat Purdue at home.
