So does Indiana actually have a shot at winning the National Title? And is Mendoza the top QB in this class?

Jedd is going to ucla. He’s not moving CC since the kids are in Tucson.

UW is a far better Football program.


I think UCLA has more potential though, when college teams are doing good in LA they get more attention than their NFL teams.

lol that stadium is empty on gamedays. No one goes.

UW also brings in way more money. They're ranked 14th nationally (NIL). UCLA is 43rd (NIL).

UW is a better program but ucla is a better job. It’s nothing against UW it’s just location. UCLA has more potential although I know the school as major budget issues so not sure how that factors into things.

Exactly location makes a huge difference, you'll also get much more national recognition turning around a LA team than a pacific northwest team.

Fans and money comes with success. USC gamedays were some of most popping ones when they were doing good, same for UCLA for that year or two they were good. Picking UCLA would be a no brainer here.

Looks good. I would put Penn st tier 2, like it or not they have lot of money and tradition on their side. Michigan st also has lot of big time boosters which makes it an enticing job.

is that ranking of attractiveness of the job for coaching candidates?

i think iowa should be a little higher because of the stability and job security. the location isn't great and there isn't as much money as other places but if you are halfway decent most of the time and occasionally pretty good - you can coach there your whole career if you want.

Just another reason to hate Kirk herbstreit. This guy is the most arrogant douche I have ever seen and he has the nerve to wake up hotel guests

Miami goes down. Beck's Heisman chances take a hit.

I was skeptical in the beginning but it looks like OSU is comfortably the best team in the country again.

Man that was a rough performance by Beck. He was awful all game and that last pick…what a horrible decision to gain a potential 5 yards.

Beck is now +4000 and this took him out of the race. Favorite now is Mendoza and Ty Simpson.

This could easily be the worst heisman winner ever

Travis Hunter was pretty bad, how he actually won was beyond me.

Mendoza impressed me the most. He threw two crucial interceptions each of the last two games (against Iowa and Oregon), and then he turns around immediately and leads his team to score essentially putting the game on ice. That takes some guts, and that is apparently what Beck lacks.
