Jon Sumrall Watch

For about 4 pages worth of posts.

Frankly, it would take an Arkansas/Cal type of miracle for a change to occur this year at Kentucky.

North Carolina??

I don’t see that job having the allure of the SEC for Sumrall.

For Sumrall it could be the same level job at either school. Both are basketball powerhouses and football will always be the little brother on campus who pays for everything. He can come home and try to succeed in the SEC or head to the ACC and have to play Clemson, the Tech boys, Florida State(they will rise again), and a few other teams. Definitely not the gauntlet of the SEC but challenging enough.

For those interested Tulane plays Memphis tomorrow evening Thursday , the Wave is favored by 13 1/2

Rough night for Tulane. Got whooped by a pretty good Memphis squad. You wonder if they started listening to all the hoopla over then pushing for a playoff and they were looking ahead.

2 turnovers inside the 10. Some days you're the window shield, somedays you're the bug.

Who coaches Memphis?

Astonishingly, Tulane could STILL make the playoff. They need Boise St to lose in the MWC championship and to Colorado St, not UNLV. If Tulane wins the AAC, in that scenario, what other midmajor will have better credentials for the 5th highest ranked conference champion spot? Maybe Jacksonville State or Liberty?

Ryan Silverfield and he's been mentioned as an UNC possibility too.

. . . or were distracted by potential Coaching hires.

I saw an estimate of 2% of their making the Play Offs, but your scenario reasonably sounds higher.

There is a chance, but it’s VERY small. UNLV would have to lose at home to a really bad Nevada team that’s lost 6 in a row. Then CSU would need to win their final game and beat Boise at Boise.

Knowing it’s a long shot for Tulane, I’d love to see UNLV make the playoff after the QB left the team 4 games into the season.
