Perhaps the BEST B1G Forum anywhere, here at College Football Fan Site, CFB51!!!

IF expectations are indeed that low, then he should be fine unless he makes a habit of losing also to MSU and IU et al.

I'm not sure PTB expectations are that modest.

UGA fired Richt who was averaging nearly 10 wins a season.

did Richt get more than 6 seasons?

Of course he did, and had some good years in that obviously.  Folks wanted the program to take that "next step", expectations and all that.  I suspect Richt did better at beating rivals and overall record than Harbaugh has done to date.

yup, I think after 10 seasons or so, fatigue of lack of big wins takes a toll, but at 6 or 7 seasons a coach winning at a good pace, but just missing vs rivals such as Ohio St. or Bama get more time to get over the hump.

I just don't see Ohio St. as the big problem for Harbaugh
now obviously, if Jim can upset the Buckeyes that makes up for losses to Michigan st to some extent

Who would they get? Matt Campbell? A guy with zero conference titles, who is winless in CyHawk games?

What would be the point? An attempt to prove that there are coaches out there who could muster the same results as Harbaugh for less money?

Campell's beaten Texas,Oklahoma - without the benefit of being a blue blood.Sumtin' Jimmy's failed to do.We went extended on this subject a month ago.He's won BIG 12 COY - 2X,You should have jumped in instead of well ya he sux 😁He does a lot with a little.Lost last year by 1pt and went to OT and lost by 3 with one blow out loss 42-3.Want to bet Iowa has sent a lot more talent to Sundays

any possible result?

sure, if he wins the West and beats OSU in the champ game

did Richt get more than 6 seasons?

Twice that, or some-such.

Dangerous times for Georgia, Michigan and Penn State

This makes me wonder what the magic number is for the top teams in a given stretch is.  We all remember that OU stunk in the 90s, and Texas, too, for a time (even now?).  More recently, we've seen Nebraska and Tennessee fall off a cliff, over a decade plus.  Florida fell off, but seems to be relevant again. 
FSU hasn't mattered in over 5 years and Miami in more than 10.  But who has replaced them?  How would you rate ND of the past 7-8 years?  2 undefeated regular seasons are special....but they haven't threatened to be the best program. 
There's Bama and Clemson.....and OU and OSU seem bored winning their conference every year.  With the PAC's absence from relevance, that must mean USC has been down and no single northern PAC team has mattered since Mariota left Eugene.

Penn State is 0-3, but they're 14th by S+P.  I don't think there's anything wrong with their program, other than simply not being Ohio State.  I do wonder about the B1G, though.  Will the balance of power EVER shift west?  In the SEC, the East was initially stronger, in the first 8-10-12 years, then the West stood up in a big way for a long time.  Does divisional balance, even over decades matter?

Who matters now that didn't in 1999?
