PAPN: On undersized westerners and good old boys

Between Mack Brown and Greg Sankey, we’re in a pretty cranky place today. You’ve been warned.

It’s a particularly cranky episode of PAPN today. You can’t say we didn’t warn you.

Topics:

• The Pac-12 is in a not-great place at the moment, but are we sure it’s because Washington and USC aren’t big enough?
• You were the biggest name on the board for hiring a new coach, UNC, and you chose an ESPN color commentator?
• There’s a lot wrong with college football, but conference title games probably shouldn’t go on the list.
• Brent Venables really might just not want to be a head coach.
• LSU-A&M was amazing. The post-game stupidity was even more amazing. Blaming the Egg Bowl for it was [galaxy brain].
• Hey, Auburn. Cranky, huh? That’s fine. We are too.
• Yes, technically an 0-12 team could be No. 1 in S&P+. Technically.
