The Top 25 Playoff Rankings for the Football Bowl Series keeps shuffling as everyone is gunning for the number one spot.\u00a0 This time the might Crimson Tide of Alabama and Nick Saban take a brief dive and are on the outside looking in.\u00a0 This week also marks a mjor shift in the coaching carousel as a number of coaches were gifted their pink slips as early Christmas gifts?\u00a0 In the era of disatisfaction and ‘good-not-being-good-enough’, awesome coaches like Kevin Sumlin of Texas A&M (a 51-26 overall record) is sent to the wayside – but for the geniuses making these seeminly desperate decisions – who do you think will improve upon that<\/em> record or similar levels of success like Jim Mora Jr of UCLA.\u00a0 Also, some of these programs who destroyed their own traditions of ‘winning’ football a decade or so ago, will have to live with their days of past glory as a return to it appears nowhere in sight.\u00a0 That means you, poor decision-makers of Tennessee, Florida, Nebraska and more likely to be named sooner than later.<\/p>\n
