Nothing out of the ordinary. I would say that I think Mack gets a higher regard than the author states. It's tough living in Texas, where we're on the "inside," but if you go to Indiana or somewhere else, many people there will put Mack right with Urban and Nick and Pete, not below them. Hard to disagree with his X's and O's analysis. I think we're in for a tough time in more than just two games, but he's right to state that we'll still win 10.
Anyone who doesnt list Mack among top 4 or 5 coaches in college football either doesnt know college football or is an aggy. By any reasonable mind and by a wide margin you have Mack, Stoops, Tressel, Meyer and Saban (in various order) and then all the rest.
