My tummy says they only lose to auburn from here on. If they play on new years day it will be a good year. Young, young, young.

An event filled CFB Saturday for me this weekend! Watching my Buckeyes play on TV, then heading over to the Oregon-Stanford game. Co-worker gave me athletic department (Oregon) tickets. Woot woot.

They've been rotating a lot of players this year giving everyone a lot of experience and lowering the amount of snaps they've been taking. Hopefully this helps eliminate those late season collapses.

How many more years do you guy give Sumlin before the Bimmerpost Aggies Boosters raise money to buy his contract out?

I say he still has another year before things get really tricky. They'll doing well this year despite the youth.

how much is in the current Bimmerpost Aggies Booster fund for the purpose of the buyout? Will the timeline get extended when he beats Bama again? Or you're looking for straight up SEC championships?

IMO, Saban doesn't have many years left. The SEC will be free for all in less than 8 years, that's my prediction.

Word on the street is Dabo will take his place.

If we can scrape out 8 or 9 wins this year, he'll be back next year. I we collapse down the stretch again, he's gone (and taking $10 million with him)

I trust that the "word" is a legitimate source and all...but I highly doubt Dabo will move to A&M for these reasons:

1. It'll be a lateral move for him. You can't say TAMU is offering anything that Clemson doesn't have or can put in place.
2. He'll be a small fish in a big pond, whereas at Clemson, he's a big fish in a small pond.
3. He's supposedly the heir apparent to Saban. I think he'll hang tight in his comfort zone until Saban leaves.

Also be careful what you wish for. Remember, Clemson boosters were mumbling firing Dabo in year 2. Dabo certain put together great classes and seasons of late, but sometimes a change of scenery doesn't translate properly. There are ton of examples of this in the past, notably Rich Rod, Bobby Petrino, Brian Kelly, Dan Hawkins, Tom Herman and Harbaugh.

I guess, be careful chasing a hot commodity. Would you want Gus Malzahn or Bobby Petrino today versus at their heights in 2013 and 2011 respectively?

Not for A&M, but for Bama. They say he's gonna be Saban's replacement.

We have 4 starters out and our best WR is questionable so an upset is possible. I'm glad the game is at home and think they should pull through it.

As for other possible upsets maybe LSU over Auburn?

What a game by Syracuse! How will this affect the playoff picture? I feel like Ohio State is getting very good behind the scenes...

Ohio St has played scrubs since losing to Oklahoma. Their tests will be against Penn St and Michigan. Win those and they will be in the playoffs.

This is when an Urban Meyer team is the most dangerous. Early season loss, peak in the final 3 games of the season. Ohio State will be rolling by November. Watch out.

Love college football! Not even 24 hours in to this weekend, 2 ranked losses.

Looks like #clemsoning is back. (Losing every year to an unranked opponent)

Clemson's D played poorly. Also, their kicker is garbage. Missed two FG's within 35 yards. That really haunted them.

Looks like Wash. St. is up on the chopping block.

Miami better watch out for that trap game tomorrow. GT will be ready.
