Some half-season, eh? Steve Spurrier quit because he was tired of losing – but not so tired he couldn’t fly to Ann Arbor to appear on ESPN’s “College Gameday.” Steve Sarkisian, formerly of USC, got fired en route to rehab.

Ohio State forgot it was supposed to be the greatest team ever. Auburn forgot it was supposed to be good again. Georgia Tech went from being favored at Notre Dame to being incapable of beating anybody. Ole Miss went from winning at Alabama to losing at Memphis.
