Tinker Town: "I could do as well, calling the offensive play that is being caller for the LSU fighting tiger football team. if not better, than Greg Studrawa, offensive coordinators for LSU who is making $500 000 dollars each year for the past three years. I do understand that head coach Les Mile always has his thumb on the scale, calling each offensive LSU play. But never the less the plays that Les Miles doesn't call could makeup the difference for Les Miles wasteful foolishness. So far $4,000 000 + $500 000 dollars = nothing. For the LSU fighting tiger offense under Les Miles eight year tenure."

Calling plays pays well in SEC
If Missouri wants to be competitive in the Southeastern
Conference on the football field, it might have to be more competitive
with coaching salaries, too. Longtime Missouri assistant David Yost, who
announced his resignation on Monday, had the eighth-highest salary
among 13 offensive coordinators in the SEC last season. Yost initially
signed a two-year contract for the 2009-10 seasons and later agreed to
two one-year extensions. His current deal paid him $354,750 and was set
to expire June 30, 2013.
Here's where his salary compared to 2012 salaries of other offensive signal-callers in the SEC. The salaries and contract lengths listed below are according to published media reports or official contracts.
(Note: South Carolina Coach Steve Spurrier serves as his team's offensive coordinator. Ole Miss has two co-coordinators. And as a private university, Vanderbilt is not required to disclose its coaches' salaries.)
Doug Nussmeier, Alabama: $590,000; three years
Jim Chaney, Tennessee: $550,000; three years
Greg Studrawa, LSU: $500,000 three years
Scot Loeffler, Auburn: $500,000; two years
Brent Pease, Florida: $490,000; three years
Paul Petrino, Arkansas: $475,000; one year
Kliff Kingsbury, Texas A&M: $400,000; three years
Randy Sanders, Kentucky: $338,000; two years
Mike Bobo, Georgia: $335,000; one year
Matt Luke, Ole Miss (co-coordinator): $285,000; three years
Les Koenning, Mississippi State: $275,000; two years
Dan Werner, Ole Miss (co-coordinator): $231,667; two years
Petrino has accepted the head-coaching job at Idaho. The head coaches at Auburn, Tennessee and Kentucky have been fired, leaving their offensive coordinators without jobs unless they're retained by new head coaches or hired elsewhere.

Breaking down the human polls that put NIU in the Orange Bow
- How NIU crashed the BCS party

SI.com's Andy Staples explains how MAC champ Northern Illinois found its way into the Orange Bowl.
Bob Stoops, whose Oklahoma team was the most directly affected by the prospect of a BCS buster, voted NIU No. 24.

The end of college football's regular season stinks for an obvious reason (no more football), but it also provides one annual moment of clarity: We finally get to see how the Coaches' and Harris poll voters filled out their ballots. This ballot parsing will only remain fun this year and next. After that, we'll have to settle for grilling members of the selection committee. So let's enjoy this while we can.
Last year, all the drama was at the top of the ballots. We wanted to know where everyone voted Alabama and Oklahoma State to determine exactly who helped make the LSU-Alabama BCS title game rematch happen. This year, the drama is on the lower end, where Northern Illinois rose to No. 15 in the BCS standings, allowing the Huskies to take advantage of a BCS rule and crash into the Orange Bowl. This knocked Oklahoma out of the BCS and into the Cotton Bowl, where the Sooners will play Texas A&M.
It also forced the Sugar Bowl to take Big East champ Louisville. So instead of Florida-Oklahoma, we'll have to watch Florida-Louisville. Fortunately, the powers that be have already scrapped the system that made these matchups. Unfortunately, we're stuck with it for this bowl season and next.

They wanted the Cotton Bowl, a more traditional bowl and original member of the big four with the Rose, Sugar and Orange, or the Capital One Bowl, which on paper is the best of the non-elite, Bowl Championship Series bowls.
The Southeastern Conference office, which has exerted more and more power in bowl selections since the BCS began in 1998, made sure Southeastern Conference Championship Game runner-up Georgia (11-2) did not fall so far as the Chick-fil-A and placed the Bulldogs in the Capital One. Then it slotted Texas A&M (10-2) and Heisman Trophy favorite quarterback and ticket seller Johnny Manziel in the Cotton Bowl.
South Carolina (10-2), like A&M with a similar ranking as LSU, got the Outback Bowl, another bowl seen as better than the Chick-fil-A, which usually leans to SEC East teams for geographic reasons.
Just seven years ago, LSU coach Les Miles took a clandestine flight to Dallas to try to lobby Cotton Bowl officials on behalf of his team should it lose the SEC Championship Game so the Tigers would not fall to the Chick-fil-A. The secret meeting was leaked to the media. LSU lost the SEC title game 34-14 to Georgia and ended up in the Chick-fil-A. Read more...http://www.

Dandy Don's LSU Sports Report
Good morning, Tiger Fans.
It was nice to hear from several of you yesterday about the bowl situation. Yesterday I expressed my frustration and disappointment in the way the bowl selections worked out for LSU, but now it's time to put that behind us and look ahead to finishing the season strong with a quality win over a top-15 opponent in what should be one of the better bowl games of the year. A convincing win over a quality Clemson team could really propel LSU into the offseason on a high note and set the stage for a big 2013 season-opener against TCU in Cowboy Stadium.
Sure, I could go on lamenting about LSU being disrespected and not getting the Cotton Bowl, but the bottom line is that would not help anything, and it would only overshadowing the successes of this Tiger team who will be entering the contest with an opportunity to finish with 11 wins for only the seventh time in school history.
That's quite an accomplishment, especially considering all that LSU had to overcome this season. I'm proud of this team and of what the LSU football program has accomplished in the last decade, and it continues to be a great time to be a Tiger.
In the coming weeks I'll be posting more information on the match-up, as well as information about what to see and do in Atlanta for those of you planning on making the trip. And if you're searching for tickets, be sure to check our Ticket Exchange page, which I updated last night. It currently contains a couple of listings for the game and I'll be adding others as I get them.
Yesterday CBS Sports released its All-America team and the AP released its All-SEC teams, and congratulations are in order for several Tigers. Eight LSU Tigers made the AP All-SEC teams, including Kevin Minter and Eric Reid on the first teams, while Bennie Logan, Craig Loston, Barkevious Mingo and Sam Montgomery made second team. La'el Collins and Josh Dworaczyk were named Honorable Mention All-SEC. In the CBS Sports All-America teams, Eric Reid made second team while Sam Montgomery and Kevin Minter made third team. Here are the full lists of the CBS Sports All-America teams and AP All-SEC teams.
In football recruiting news, I learned something yesterday that I found interesting. According to one of my readers whom I spoke to yesterday, there's a big-time four-star defensive end in Mississippi who is currently committed to Mississippi State who is interested in playing for LSU.
My source, who is very close to the situation, said that Chris Jones (DE, 6'5", 250, Houston, MS) would be thrilled to get an offer from Coach Miles. Jones is ranked by many as a four-star prospect and the second best strong-side DE in the nation behind Robert Nkemdiche. This year's LSU recruiting class of 22 commitments already includes defensive ends Michael Patterson (6'5", 240, Winnfield), Frank Heron (6'5", 235, Memphis), and Lewis Neal (6'2", 235, Wilson, NC), plus their biggest remaining target is Kendell Beckwith (6'3", 225, East Feliciana, No. 1 on our list of Top LA Prospects) who could play either DE or LB at the next level, so that very well could be why we haven't heard anything about LSU pursuing Jones. LSU will be very strong next year, especially on offense, but defensive end could be an area of concern if Mingo and Montgomery declare early for the NFL draft. I really like the DEs that LSU has brought in, and Beckwith would be an ideal addition, but if LSU is still looking for another end I hope they will reach out to Jones.Read more...http://www.dandydon.

Between now and then, college football fans will have 34 other bowl games to whet their appetites.
There's a reason to watch every game, from seniors playing for the final time to settling grudge matches from the past.
We break down the 2012 bowl games from best to worst:
1. Discover BCS National Championship Game
Notre Dame vs. Alabama
Jan. 7: ESPN, 8:30 p.m. ET, Sun Life Stadium, Miami, Fla.
Undefeated Notre Dame tries to end No. 2 Alabama's attempt at winning back-to-back BCS national championships and the SEC's streak of six BCS titles in a row. The Crimson Tide is 1-5 against the Fighting Irish, including four losses by legendary coach Paul "Bear" Bryant.
2. Tostitos Fiesta Bowl
Oregon vs. Kansas State
Jan. 3: ESPN, 8:30 p.m. ET, University of Phoenix Stadium, Glendale, Ariz.
The No. 4 Ducks and No. 5 Wildcats came within one loss of playing for a BCS national championship. Kansas State coach Bill Snyder, 73, will try to slow down Oregon's high-octane offense, which is averaging 50.8 points per game.

3. AT&T Cotton Bowl
Texas A&M vs. Oklahoma
Jan. 4: Fox, 8 p.m. ET, Cowboys Stadium, Arlington, Texas
Most Texas A&M fans probably would have preferred a bowl game against longtime rival Texas, but they'll settle for playing former Big 12 foe Oklahoma. Aggies quarterback Johnny "Football" Manziel is expected to win the Heisman Trophy on Saturday.
4. Chick-fil-A Bowl
LSU vs. Clemson
Dec. 31: ESPN, 7:30 p.m. ET, Georgia Dome, Atlanta
No. 14 Clemson will try to put last season's Orange Bowl debacle -- a 70-33 loss to West Virginia -- in its rearview mirror for good. No. 8 LSU is 5-0 in the Chick-fil-A Bowl, including a 38-3 rout of Georgia Tech in 2008.
5. Outback Bowl
South Carolina vs. Michigan
Jan. 1: ESPN, 1 p.m. ET, Raymond James Stadium, Tampa, Fla.See and read more...http://espn.go.com/
