There are a few important teams who are in big trouble at the moment. Not only has this year gone sour, but for some of them the last few years have been big trouble for them too. One of the teams involved is USC, which we’ve read about in recent weeks. Another is Michigan, who has been dropping for over a year. Last year, they had their first under .500 year in nearly two centuries (ok, maybe not that long, but still a long time!). A second year of that is underway again, with the continuing loss of players. Another team in that tank is Notre Dame, who has turned in one of their worst seasons in many years. The next few weeks will be critical to see if these teams are going to bring in new coaching corps or if we’ll see them try to keep some sense of continuity on the teams.
