It’s November! November means super-sized PAPNs.

Topics:

  • CFP rankings and — oh hey — look, a great, undefeated G5 has no chance again.
  • Missed opportunities, bad luck, and a bad fit for Jim McElwain and Florida.
  • Please, please, please hire Jon Gruden, Tennessee. No ulterior motives here whatsoever.
  • Poor Ole Miss, looking for a hire when half its own conference is, too. And what does Mizzou do if it collapses in November?
  • Kansas might be a résumé killer, but making illogical hires hasn’t helped anything.
  • If Oregon State hires Ken Niumatalolo, the Pac-12 North would become a SPECTACULAR pain in the ass.
  • FAU is building a beautiful mansion that is in no way up to code.
  • Purdue, tailgating, and the fading effectiveness of the bullpen system.
  • Charity dead-rivalry exhibitions in football?
  • Week 10 walkthrough: your chance to feast eyes on awesome Toledo and FAU teams, Wisconsin’s not going to mess around again (right?), another nice afternoon session, Stanford’s on before 10 p.m.!, DVR Iowa-Ohio State just in case.
  • An announcement and a clear Piesman front-runner.
  • Who holds their company liquor better?
