That is exactly what I was wondering, when do they drop? They may beat Alabama any how. Iowa could still be #2 or close when we play don't see a path to #1

Without getting into the specifics of the FS and BP dismissals … each situation is different. The bottom line on ALL of the coaching dismissals is who is making the decision. Not only the AD but the chancellor/president as well.
What are/were their decision making criteria, what are the circumstances surrounding the team they inherited and the team at the time of their dismissals.
You can’t compare SF to BP or BC or FS or MR … each inherited a program in a different state of existence. If the same AD was making the hiring and firing decisions we could compare some aspects of why. I find it interesting that in the past 20 years or so … we’ve had as many ADs as we’ve had CFB coaches. THAT itself should be an area of concern.
Without stability of leadership and vision how can you expect the entities below them to have stability and successful performance?
Regardless of your feeling towards SF … the decision to retain or fire him has NOTHING to do with the situations surrounding BP or FS.
They play #11 Kentucky this week … we will find out if the Fighting Wandales are legit or not … but then they play Florida the week after … that is two relatively tough games … back-to-back. Georgia’s QB situation is still in flux … who knows what could happen.
I think UGA will win out … even beating ‘Bama in the CCG game but … I wouldn’t bet the house that they don’t drop one in the next two weeks.
I think they play Tennessee too before SEC goes non-con
I don't know who saw the Iowa - Penn State game, but Penn State pissed that away. Their line false starts made our guys seem like amateurs. It happens and we have improved significantly since the start of the year to cut back. The dam keeps springing leaks, but we keep plugging the holes and the task seems smaller now that it has in a long time.
I guess that’s one way of looking at it if you wanted too. If so I’m sure the piling up has reached that point for many. I guess I prefer to not even claim moral victories but instead just call it vastly improved play against high ranked competition.
FWIW, 2017 UCF had 15 turnovers (1.15/game)
NU so far this year has 9 (1.29/game)
Hopefully, someday soon, the vastly improved play leads to actual Ws.I guess that’s one way of looking at it if you wanted too. If so I’m sure the piling up has reached that point for many.

When Clifford got hurt the PSU offense went into a funk. I believe had he played the entire game PSU would have won that game by double digits. Oh well ya gotta have luck and IA sure as hell seems to catch a lot breaks including their Big schedule.
That style will come back to bite them at some point. They are very fortunate right now with the amount of fumbles recovered and interceptions. At some point, there will be a regression back to the mean. And I don't know if their offense can do enough when that happens.
Iowa is equal opportunity; they invite you to help beat yourself and they take advantage of everything you do in that regard.
We always oblige. That needs to change.
