Don't knock small schools. Many on here have called for head coaching change, going from Richt to Strong of Louisville, Patterson of TCU....a lot of small colleges have coaches that do very well on the big stage.

Maybe I think it would take more than one year, though. I saw what I thought was improvement last year, and I think we will see improvement this year. Just a feeling, though.
