    Does anybody have any feelings for the FBS Playoff Selection Committee's teams?

    1. Michigan
    2. Washington
    3. Texas
    4. Alabama

    Two key 'snubs':
    1. Undefeated Florida State, who scraped together wins @ Florida and vs. a ranked Louisville team to finish their undefeated ACC Championship Season, despite the late loss of star QB Jordan Travis.
    2. 1 loss Georgia, who lost the SEC Championship game but was ranked No. 1 all year, certainly haven't looked dominant all season, but a loss to a No. 7 team is all it took to knock Georgia out.

    Clearly the committee had no interest putting FSU in given their current state on offense...as for Georgia, close wins vs. South Carolina, @ Auburn, @ Georgia Tech and then the close loss to Bama.
  • Tim Plough Named New UC Davis Head Football Coach
    Big question for Plough is, how widespread will the tree shaking eliminations be at various Coaching positions. Obviously, he'll want to bring in his guys, and a lot of them may already be in Davis, but no doubt, some of them aren't.

    I know that Jonathan Smith just took the Michigan State job. Was in Corvallis, where he also played, looks like they've been eyeballing Buchanan for a while.

    Yeah, that's true, but I also just wish that with such a peak on the defensive side of the ball, the offense could've put out a bit more to make the team more complete. Felt like we could've really had something, but it just wasn't figured out in time...and Larison going down proved to be such a huge loss that it anchored the output.

    Looks like a reasonable list to me

    Going out on good terms, despite the playoff miss is a good feeling. The program is 100% healthier since Hawk showed up. Facilities have been upgraded, we've learned how to compete in the Big Sky - now we just need a few horses to help get this team over the hump. Starts with the bloody quarterback of course.

    As of right now though, it feels like a little bit of a rebuild is due in 2024, save for some golden transfers.

    All the stars on defense are notably leaving - it would've been nice to see some more offensive output this season, maybe win another 1 or 2 games, had a better run at it...honestly, I'd want to take off too with Hawk gone, and the offensive prospects floundering at improvement unless LL comes back.

    Heck, some have given as much as $50 to this dinky little Forum! FYI, the 2024 drive will commence in a couple of weeks. Whenever I can break free from these Heavy Civil Construction chains for an hour, I'll set it up.

    I don't even think about Gould anymore. It was such a low point for Aggie Football.

    "Recruiting is like any other sales business. We've got to win to keep our jobs. We gotta fill the arena to keep our jobs. And if we don't, they fire us. I mean, that's just, that's, hey, bankers don't make money they fire them." - Kevin O'Neill, collegiate head basketball coach (1989-2013) Marquette, Tennessee, Northwestern, USC

    Dan leaves the program with a pretty good team, and a returning QB - who should be put in a competition in my opinion - and possibly star RB in Larison if he closes out his college career in Davis. Some other strong players on both sides of the ball. Could be worse in a HC transition year.

    Sounds to me like he wants to get out of California, head back up to Idaho and just be with family near Pocatello. Maybe down the line Cody and Dan would try to reunite at Boise State. It's been a year without Cody nearby, so doesn't surprise me his priorities are to be near the grandkids.

    I know Plough is a familiar choice, but curious if there shouldn't be a more widespread search conducted in December before the contract is negotiated.
