Not sure 6-6 is going to get you alot of Head Coaching job offers, so hopefully that means another season or 2 at GSU.

Yeah, I don't feel that I'm going to get any head coaching offers unless maybe New Mexico State comes calling (they went 0-12), but I feel like I might get some decent offensive coordinator positions at a more prestigious school.

2015 AWARD WINNERS

2015-16 BOWL SCHEDULE

Despite not even appearing in their conference championship game, Ole Miss has earned the right to appear in the 2016 BCS National Championship Game against #1 Ohio State. With Iowa's loss in the Big Ten Championship Game along with Florida State's defeat in the ACC Championship Game, Ole Miss jumped from #4 to #2 in the BCS Polls. Oregon jumped from #6 to #3, and has the same .989 BCS score as Ole Miss despite the Ducks having a conference championship to add to their resume.

In fact, the team that won the SEC Championship - Georgia - has not one, but two SEC teams above them in the BCS Rankings. With Ole Miss heading for a shot for the title, Texas A&M is sitting at #4 in the BCS polls and almost knocked the Bulldogs out of a BCS bowl altogether. Thanks to the SEC champion having an automatic bid to the Sugar Bowl, Georgia will take their #5 ranking against American champion #18 USF.

"We may not always agree with the decisions made, but we just have to go out and play the game on our schedule and show why we are deserving of being in a national title game." said Georgia head coach Mike Richt. "By no means are we going to overlook our opponent, we want to end the year off strong just like everybody else."

Some coaches were a little less nice with their words.

"I don't see how the committee thought they were more deserving." said Oregon head coach Mark Helfrich. "I hope they figure out a way to get a college playoff soon, because we deserve our shot at a National Title. No disrespect I'm sure Ole Miss had a good season, but two losses and they didn't even play in the conference championship? Our resume and our record is better hands down. Put us on the field and we beat them."

Will a College Football Playoff appear on the horizon? Talks of such have constantly been brought up in the last few years but for the most part that's all it has been. If there was such a playoff this year, you'd have to imagine Ohio State, Ole Miss, Oregon, and Georgia would have been the frontrunners.

COUP D'ETAT
Ole Miss halts Ohio State's 3-peat

Glendale, AZ -- The majority of the country outside of Oxford, Mississippi came into the 2016 BCS National Championship game with the belief that the title was Ohio State's to take. The 12-1 Buckeyes were a one-point loss away from being undefeated, defeated their opponents by an average of 23 points, and had steamrolled the previous #1 Iowa Hawkeyes in the Big Ten Championship Game.

Oh, and they won the last two National Championships, so there's that.

In the SEC's rebuttal - the conference that had won the last seven National Championships prior to Ohio State's current reign - Ohio State hasn't had a proper opponent. The Buckeyes topped Fresno State in 2014 much to the surprise of no one and then defeated Texas last season.

While there may have been an argument that the SEC's representative was in fact the wrong one BEFORE the game started, sixty minutes later the argument got flattened, rolled up, and tossed aside. Quarterback Maikhail Miller only threw for 195 yards, but his two touchdowns along with the Rebels defense holding Ohio State to 230 total yards led to Ole Miss defeating Ohio State 24-7 in the 2016 BCS National Championship.

Ohio State didn't even score until 10:04 remaining in the fourth quarter, and by then quarterback Chandler Jones had long been knocked out of the game. Jones completed just 2-of-7 passes for 17 yards before departing, and his backup Brian Ostrander fared so much worse: 5-of-16 for 55 yards and an interception. Ostrander was the third string quarterback, as J.T. Barrett started the season barely beating out Jones for the job before breaking his ribs in mid-October at Illinois.

So now the question is: do we count this as Ole Miss' first championship or their fourth? Or their second? Ole Miss claims three national championships based on other polls (1959, 1960, 1962), however only one is recognized by the NCAA and the college football community (1960, which is shared with Minnesota). In none of these seasons did Ole Miss finish as the #1 ranked team, so the debate goes on.

Also, Oregon is quick to stare over at Ole Miss standing on the podium and ask "what if there was a college playoff". So is Georgia probably. Oregon stomped #6 Iowa 38-24 in the Rose Bowl while Georgia beat #18 USF 31-14 in the Sugar Bowl. The Ducks and Bulldogs finished #2 and #3 respectively, but both teams have better records than Ole Miss.
