Some coaching news:
Geoff Collins was let go at Georgia Tech, with assistant coach Brent Key taking over. Key, a former Tech player, took the Rambling Wreck to Pittsburgh and dumped the Panthers scoring a huge upset nobody saw coming.
Colorado fired Karl Dorrell. The Buffaloes have been horrific this season. Eric Bienemy, a former CU running back and current OC for the Kansas City Chiefs, seems to make a lot of sense.
We thought Wisconsin was descending but we did not see the Badgers staggering in this fashion. It is so bad, coach Paul Chryst was shown the door. The Badgers seem to be looking at assistant and former player Jim Leonhard, Kansas coach Lance Liepold who is a Wisconsin native or former assistant Dave Doren, now head coach at NC State.
Pitt, Nebraska, Wisconsin, Texas A&M, Miami, Oklahoma, Texas and Notre Dame are all underperforming and in the dog house.
Who’s Hot:
Kansas
Rock Talk Jayhawk! Kansas defeated Iowa State to move to 5-0, and now, perhaps a week too late, ESPNs Gameday will visit Lawrence Kansas for the very first time. Deservedly so. The job Lance Liepold has done is without question something to admire, and due to his success, he may have many majors attempting to acquire his services, including Nebraska and Wisconsin, both of which he has ties to. Congrats to Kansas, but TCU this weekend will be quite telling.
Shout out to The Frogs of TCU. They hung a half a hundred on Oklahoma.
Who’s Not:
Oklahoma.
The Sooners have been blasted for two consecutive weekend, allowing a staggering amount of points in the process. New Sooner head man Brent Venebles is considered a defensive genius, so this has to be quite concerning. Could a season with four losses await OU?
NC State.
A special season for a veteran Wolfpack team, which returned seventeen starters, grounded to a halt at Clemson. The Tigers dominated in Death Valley, even though NC State has played Clemson well in many a season, winning in Raleigh last year. Might a deflated Wolfpack collapse? Is head Coach eyeing the newly opened job at Wisconsin, a placed he previously spent time at as an assistant?
Minnesota. Looking impressive and crashing into the Top 25 last week, the Gophers melted in the spotlight and got punked at home by a depleted Purdue team. The Gophers could still win the B1G West, but that is nothing to brag about.
The B1G West. Nicely stated, this division is quite competitive, but the reality is the division is a shit show. None of the teams are very good and two coached have already been fired; Scott Frost and Paul Chryst.
Georgia barely escaped Missouri, so they must relinquish the top spot after two weeks of shaky play. Alabama takes over, and Ohio State is lurking.

Who’s Hot: Minnesota
Minnesota crushed Michigan State running away. We are not quite sure just how good the Gophers are, but as we noted in our preseason Big Ten preview, which we will link in the comments section, the Gophers schedule is very favorable and they in great position amongst the wreckage in the B1G West.
Who’s Not: Michigan State.
Although we ranked Sparty in our preseason poll, we also noted we spotted some alarm bells, but had no idea it would unravel in this magnitude. The Spartans are getting whipped physically, and that is not a good recipe for the B1G schedule.
Miami. The U is not back. Beaten soundly in each phase of the game by Middle Tennessee State in front of a sparse crowd in South Florida sounds a multitude of alarms. Hurricanes QB Tyler Van Dyke, thought to be quite good, has underperformed and got benched. The lines got pushed around and the secondary was inept. Cristobal has a ton of work to do, and he just lost some goodwill. With ACC schools seemingly wanting to impress for the next wave of conference alignment, this was not a good look.
Shout out to Adrian Martinez, the embattled Nebraska transfer who had a breakout game for Kansas State in leading the Wildcats to another win over a highly ranked OU team.

Who’s Hot: Penn State, Washington, Kansas and Deion Sanders.
Although Auburn is struggling, Penn State put a thumping on the Tigers on their home field. After surviving a road opener at Purdue, the Lions are positioning themselves for a run.
Washington showed great growth in the short time coach Kalen DeBoer has been at the helm by blasting visiting Michigan State. The Huskies have talent and are already exceeding expectations.
Lance Leipold has Kansas undefeated, beating Athlon preseason Top 25 Houston soundly on the road. This is no small feat, and we expect Leipold, who has Nebraska connections, to hear from Trev Alberts and the Cornhuskers in short order.
And folks, Prime Time is about to get paid in a coaching search near you. More on that later.
Who’s Not: Georgia Tech. Originally, we liked what we saw from Geoff Collins in Atlanta. But the trend has turned negative, and after a blowout loss to Clemson and being shut out at home by Ole Miss, look for the Jackets to enter the Deion Sanders race soon. Prime could do damage in the ATL!
Well, Auburn might have a word in that. The Tigers got bombed at home by Penn State, the largest home loss since Nebraska (remember those guys) bombed Auburn in 1982. Harsin has limited time on the plains.
So might Arizona State. The Devils lost a home game to Eastern Washington, and the embarrassing loss turned out to be the nail in the coffin for embattled coach Herm Edwards, who has been dismissed. Along with Missouri, I have long considered Arizona State a sleeping giant.
