If TCU, Baylor win, Big 12 will have co-champions
So much for that.
If No. 5 TCU (against Iowa State) and No. 7 Baylor (against No. 12 Kansas State) both win on Saturday and finish the season with an 11-1 overall record, Big 12 commissioner Bob Bowlsby said on a teleconference Monday that the Bears and Horned Frogs will be declared Big 12 co-champions. Baylor beat TCU 61-58 on Oct. 11, but TCU’s four wins over ranked teams has kept the Horned Frogs above Baylor in the College Football Playoff rankings.
Does Baylor’s head-to-head win outweigh TCU’s supposed stronger collection of wins? Bowlsby said that’s up to the committee, not the Big 12, to decide.
"That's the prerogative of the selection committee," Bowlsby said per ESPN.com. "It's not our prerogative for us to tell them who is our best team. They can choose from an array of teams that are available and qualified for the playoff. It's not within our prerogative to bind the selection committee that way. They're going to select who they think is the best team.”
If neither TCU or Baylor are selected into the Top 4 by the committee, then Bowlsby said the league will apply the tiebreaker of Baylor’s head-to-head win over TCU. A conference champion that does not make it into the Playoff is guaranteed a spot in one of the six Playoff-affiliated bowls.
"The only reason we apply the tiebreaker later on is because we have to, we're the ones who designate who goes into one of those host bowls," Bowlsby said. "In the case of the College Football Playoff, they're the ones who designate who goes into those games. We wouldn't be designating our champion. We would be designating our representative to the host bowl."
Baylor it should make the College Football Playoff if it beats Kansas State on Saturday. The school even hired a public relations firm to assist in its efforts to crack the Top 4.
Baylor has hired a PR firm (Kevin Sullivan Communications) to advocate its case for a playoff spot. Firm says they were hired last week
— Jake Trotter (@Jake_Trotter) December 1, 2014
Kevin Sullivan wanted to clarify, his firm not campaigning directly to playoff committee. But rather, advocating Baylor to nat'l media
— Jake Trotter (@Jake_Trotter) December 1, 2014 And despite the strong possibility of having co-champions, Bowlsby stands behind the “one true champion” slogan.
"'One True Champion' is really about everybody playing everybody," Bowlsby said. "That's the right way to do it. We believe that playing everyone every year is the right way to determine a champion, even if ends in a tie."

SMU officially introduces Chad Morris as head coach
The 45-year-old Morris is a Texas native who spent the past four seasons leading the Tigers’ offense under Dabo Swinney. Before that, he had a one-year stint as Tulsa’s offensive coordinator following 16 seasons as a head coach at five different high schools in the state of Texas.
"I'm excited about the future of SMU football, and my family is thrilled to be back in the state of Texas," Morris said in a statement. "I want to thank Dr. (R. Gerald) Turner, Rick Hart and the search committee for this opportunity. I have to say it was a difficult decision to leave my fellow coaches and our student-athletes at Clemson. I want to thank them for buying into our vision and helping us build something special. I would especially like to thank CoachSwinney. It was a great experience and something I'll always remember.”
During Morris’ time at Clemson, the Tigers went 41-11, won the 2011 ACC Championship and clinched four bowl berths, including two appearances in the Orange Bowl. Additionally, Morris’ offenses “established 127 offensive records” during his tenure and “posted the top three scoring seasons in school history,” according to a release from SMU.
"I only left that great situation (at Clemson) because I knew what we could accomplish at SMU,” Morris said. “I grew up watching SMU football. I know the history and I know we can be great again. I look forward to working with our student-athletes and staff, as well as my friends and former colleagues, the Texas high school coaches, as we work towards winning championships here on the Hilltop. I can't wait to get started."
As a high school coach, Morris compiled a 169-38 overall record and took six of his teams to Texas State Championship Games, winning three of them. He was also named Texas Coach of the Year 11 times.
"It is an honor and a pleasure to introduce Chad Morris as the Head Football Coach at SMU," said Hart. "His arrival on the Hilltop reinforces our commitment to compete at the highest level. Chad has earned an excellent reputation as a recruiter, a teacher and a leader. His character, integrity, passion, innovation, work ethic and competitiveness are valuable traits as we look to establish SMU as the best overall program in the American Athletic Conference.”
Morris’ hire comes less than three months after June Jones resigned two games into his seventh season with SMU. Tom Mason has filled in as interim coach in Jones’ absence. The Mustangs are 0-11 and have one game remaining against UConn on Saturday.

9-year-old with leukemia traveling to Kansas State bowl game
Wherever Kansas State goes to a bowl, Kaiden Schroeder and his family will be going with the team.
Schroeder, 9, has leukemia, and in April, scored a touchdown during Kansas State's spring game. On Saturday, he ran out on the field with the Wildcats on for Senior Day against Kansas and thanks to the help of donors, Schroeder and his family are going to Kansas State's bowl game.
“We have been completely blown away,” Kaiden's mom, Jenny Schroeder, told the Kansas City Star. “This will be such an amazing spirit-lifter as we get ready for another six weeks away from home.”
The six weeks Jenny refers to is a trip to Philadelphia for more treatment for Kaiden in 2015. He has acute lymphocytic leukemia and has spent two birthdays and two Christmas days in the hospital. He was diagnosed in 2009 and underwent a bone marrow transplant in early 2013.
But he relapsed in late 2013. From the Star:
Kaiden relapsed again in November 2013 and had to start back on chemo at Children’s Mercy. After that, his parents decided to place him in a clinical study at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia.
The procedure involves removing T cells from his blood, then genetically reprogramming them to recognize and destroy the leukemia cells.
The family went to Philadelphia in February to have the T cells collected. They were to return in June so the modified cells could be put back in Kaiden’s body.
Kaiden became part of the team by befriending Kansas State senior defensive end Ryan Mueller, and wore Mueller's number while he scored his 30-yard touchdown in April.
Before the Fiesta Bowl in 2013, Mueller's mother saw a post from friends of the Schroeders on a Kansas State message board for something for Kaiden. She asked Mueller for something, and the Ryan and Kaiden developed a bond after he gave Kaiden and his sister jerseys and they played the NCAA football video game when Mueller visited and delivered the gifts.
“He beat me in the video game,” Ryan Mueller said, “and that day changed my life forever.”
As Kaiden relapsed and continued his treatment, the surprise for the spring game took shape and not only did he score a touchdown, he even had his own locker in the locker room.
Justin Barton, a K-State alum, started the fundraising drive in October with his brother to raise money for Kaiden and a parent to go to a bowl game. But his $1,500 goal was quickly obliterated and at $5,500, there's more than enough money to send Kaiden to wherever Kansas State ends up before he has to go back to Philadelphia for more of the special treatment.
“He’s done well,” Jenny Schroeder said. “The problem is that the modified T cells only stayed in his body for about two months. You want them to last at least a year or so.
“With his relapse history, there’s a strong chance of relapse again. So we’re going back. We requested to go after Christmas so we can at least be home for Christmas and New Year’s.”

Ohio State DL Michael Bennett says Kosta Karageorge 'never reported' his concussions
Karageorge, a senior walk-on, was found dead Sunday, four days after he was reported missing from his apartment. Karageorge, who joined the team this season after several years on the OSU wrestling team, was found in a dumpster a block from Ohio State’s campus. Police said he died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
Bennett said, per Cleveland.com, Karageorge’s concussion issues came from both his three-year stint on the Buckeyes wrestling team and his first year as a scout team defensive lineman on the football team.
“We knew he had a lot of concussions. But you never knew he was depressed or anything like that,” said Bennett, a senior defensive tackle with 8.5 tackles for loss and four sacks this season. “I think he was one of the most positive out of everybody, which goes to show you can’t tell when something sneaks up. There’s no way to notice it.”
Bennett said he and his teammates “were worried,” but never saw any concussion side effects from the 6-foot-5, 285-pound Karageorge.
“He never reported them," Bennett said. "Kosta, I’ve said it before, I think he was the toughest guy I ever met. He must have been dealing with a lot of stuff internally. He was so appreciative of everything and so hard-working, when he got one during practice or something like that, he wouldn’t tell anybody. We would tell him to take it easy, if you want to sit out nobody is going to judge you, anything like that, because those are serious. But his mentality was always never quit, never back down from a challenge.”
Karageorge’s sister said he had suffered a concussion within the last month and told the New York Times he had “at least four or five” concussions in his life. Additionally, his mother said that he texted her on Wednesday referencing the concussions and apologizing for being an “embarrassment.”
Before head coach Urban Meyer's Monday press conference, Ohio State announced that Meyer would not address Karageorge’s medical history, but Meyer did compliment Ohio State’s medical personnel.
“I can say this, this is the best group of medical people I’ve ever been around the way they handle their business and the attention to detail,” Meyer said.
Hundreds of Ohio State students held a vigil in remembrance of Karageorge after the news of his death emerged Sunday night. He was 22 years old.

Big 12 to provide multi-year scholarships and full cost of attendance
"Today, the Big 12 Conference continued its leadership in college athletics by adopting these student-athlete enhancements," said commissioner Bob Bowlsby. "Enacting these measures is an important step in the process of implementing a twenty-first century model that is responsive to the needs of our student-athletes. The Big 12 Conference will continue to be at the forefront of being a change agent in college athletics, and I am proud we have moved forward with these actions."
The decision to provide these services to student-athletes was approved unanimously and will go into effect August 1, 2015.
Providing the full cost of attendance for student-athletes goes beyond the usual providing of tuition, room and board and books. Now the schools will cover “other expenses reasonably related to attendance at the institution.”
With multi-year scholarships, a student-athlete is guaranteed full aid until an athlete’s eligibility has expired instead of having the scholarship renewed on a year-to-year basis.
"The progressive measures undertaken by our Board of Directors, Faculty Athletics Representatives, Athletic Directors, Senior Woman's Administrators, and Compliance Directors will enhance the lives of our student-athletes," said Big 12 Board of Directors chairman, and Oklahoma State University president Burns Hargis. "Each group has put forth tremendous time and effort to ensure that student-athlete welfare continues to be a priority in the Big 12. To underscore the importance of these steps, they are being adopted as Conference bylaws."
Previously, the Big Ten, ACC, SEC and Pac-12 have all formally recommended providing the full cost of attendance for their student-athletes.

Steve Spurrier: Back at South Carolina in 2015
Spurrier told The State that he'd be returning to coach the Gamecocks. After a season that didn't come close to living up to preseason expectations, there was wonder if Spurrier wouldn't return next season.
“I’m in. I’m in,” Spurrier said. “We had some down times and some of this, that and the other, but we’ve got a lot of good players on the way.”
South Carolina was ranked in the top 10 to start the year but was blown out at home by Texas A&M in the first game of the season. From then, the Gamecocks went 6-5 on the way to a .500 record. In 2014, South Carolina lost to Clemson for the first time since 2008 and also lost to Tennessee and Kentucky.
After the Tennessee loss, which came at home, Spurrier went into his press conference, said a few remarks and got up without taking questions. The press conference from the normally quotable coach was the one that helped raise the wonders about his future as South Carolina's coach.
Will 2015 be his last season? Well, don't start the the speculation about that just yet.
“Give me two or three more,” Spurrier, who is 70 in April, told the State. “I used to say four or five, now I’m down to two or three. I mean, I could get in a car wreck, but I’m definitely planning on being back.”
The good players on the way Spurrier references are part of the No. 5 recruiting class in the country according to Rivals. While South Carolina doesn't have any five-star recruits committed for 2015, the team has 14 four-star and 13 three-star players on its recruiting list.

Texas Tech QB Davis Webb to undergo shoulder surgery
A Texas Tech spokesman confirmed the surgery and said that Webb, a sophomore, should “be ready for spring ball.” The shoulder injury occurred in the team’s loss to Oklahoma State on Sept. 25, but he played through it for the next few weeks until he injured his ankle against TCU on Oct. 25.
Overall, Webb threw for 2,539 yards, 24 touchdowns and 13 interceptions this season.
In Webb’s absence, true freshman Pat Mahomes assumed the starting role and has excelled. In Texas Tech’s season finale against Baylor, Mahomes set a Big 12 freshman record with 593 yards on 30-of-56 throwing and six touchdowns.
Overall in seven games, Mahomes threw for 1,547 yards, 16 touchdowns in four interceptions.
Walk-on Vincent Testaverde Jr., the son of former Heisman winner and NFL veteran Vinny Testaverde, also played for Texas Tech this season, completing 15-of-26 passes for 116 yards and an interception.
Additionally, four-star quarterback recruit Jarrett Stidham, the No. 50 overall prospect in the country according to Rivals.com, is expected to enroll at Tech in January for spring practice. Mahomes will miss a portion of spring practice due to his commitment with TTU’s baseball team while Webb could still be recovering from surgery.
That would give Stidham with the majority of the snaps during spring practice.
Head coach Kliff Kingsbury said he expects there to be a “really good” quarterback battle next season.
“I expect it to be a really good one,” Kingsbury said. “Get Jarrett in there and have three really, really good players going at it.”
With the loss to Baylor, the Red Raiders finished 4-8 in Kingsbury’s second season at the helm.

Buffalo hires Lance Leipold as head coach
The Bulls will introduce former Wisconsin-Whitewater coach Lance Leipold as coach on Monday. Leipold has had great success at Whitewater over the past eight seasons. In 112 games, Leipold's teams are 106-6 including 12-0 this season.
Whitewater has won four of the last five and five of the last seven Division III championships.
Buffalo head coach Jeff Quinn was fired in October after the Bulls were 3-4. Buffalo finished the year 5-6 after beating UMass in its final game of the season. The Bulls played 11 games instead of 12 because of the massive snowstorm that hit Buffalo the week before Thanksgiving. After attempting to play against Kent State twice, the game was ultimately canceled.
Alex Wood, the offensive coordinator under Quinn, served as the team's interim coach.
Leipold, 50, played quarterback at Whitewater. Before becoming Whitewater's head coach he served as an assistant for Nebraska from 2001-2003 and an associate head coach and offensive coordinator for Nebraska-Omaha for three seasons.

Florida reportedly targeting Hugh Freeze, school denies extending job offer
Sports Illustrated reported that Ole Miss head coach Hugh Freeze is on Florida athletic director’s short list of candidates to replace Will Muschamp, while SB Nation reported late Sunday night that the Florida position has already been offered to Freeze.
In response to the SB Nation report, Florida denied that the job had been offered to anyone.
“We will have no comment on the recent multiple reports other than to say that we have made no job offers to anyone and reports claiming that are false,” UF said in a statement.
According to SB Nation, Freeze is “considering an offer to coach at the University of Florida for a base salary in the range of $4.2 to $4.3 million annually” while Ole Miss competes to match that offer.
Freeze’s current contract pays him $3 million per season. He just completed his third regular season with the program and has a 24-14 overall record.
Additionally, Yahoo’s Pat Forde reported Sunday that Colorado State head coach Jim McElwain is a “leading candidate” for the Florida job and that McElwain and Foley “discussed the job Saturday night.”
Foley said previously that he’d like to have a new hire in place before Christmas.

Washington State fires defensive coordinator Mike Breske
In addition to Breske, outside linebackers coach Paul Volero has also been removed from his position.
Washington State lost 31-13 to in-state rival Washington in the Apple Cup on Saturday night. After going to the New Mexico Bowl in 2013, the Cougars finished 3-9 in 2014.
The Cougar defense was No. 98 in the country in total defense as it allowed 443 yards per game and 6.18 yards per play. It's a number that put Washington State 11th in the 12-team Pac-12, ahead of only Cal.
Washington State finishes the year 115th in the country in scoring defense. The Cougars gave up almost 39 points per game and only gave up less than 30 points to an opponent twice. The 31 points given up to Washington were the fewest points Washington State had given up since beating Utah 28-27 on September 27.
But the biggest reason for the defense's regression is turnovers. After forcing 30 turnovers in 2013, the Cougars got just eight (five fumbles and three interceptions) in 2014.
Both Breske and Volero came with Washington State coach Mike Leach to Pullman when he took the head coaching job in 2012. Breske came to Washington State from Montana.
