Here's an ongoing look at the current job security statuses at D1, as I did last season as well:
In Jeopardy:
1. Missouri- Plays Syracuse (coached by yours truly) in a L2 bowl, which will make or break this job.
2. Baylor- Excellent season, currently ranked #14, playing in a L4 bowl. He should go up to LTNJ with a loss, and Secure if he wins.
3. Connecticut- 3-10 on the season so this job will be open. One of the better non-elite jobs in the game, so this is a significant opening.
4. Washington- Made a L3 bowl but has the misfortune of playing Notre Dame. If Washington wins they will move up to LTNJ or Secure, if they lose no telling what happens.
Little to No Jeopardy:
North Carolina- Won a L1 bowl. Will probably stay at LTNJ I would think.
Kansas St.- Didn't make a bowl game, will drop to In Jeopardy.
Temple- Won a L1 bowl, hard to say if they will improve status or stay the same. Needs to improve scheduling (elites + SIMs = oops!) to stick around longterm.
West Virginia- Really good team that isn't scared to schedule elites and hang with them. Squeaked into a L3 bowl and was rewarded by drawing Florida. Will probably drop in status if they lose, will certainly improve if they win.
Notre Dame- In a L3 bowl vs. Washington as previously mentioned. Had the misfortune of playing 6 SIMs in conference that kills the SOS, but also lost to Stanford and WVU. They beat their bitter rival PSU this season though, so I think CFBFan would deem this season a success. Should drop to In Jeopardy with a loss, probably improve with a win?
Wisconsin- Playing in a L2 bowl, should drop if they lose, maintain or improve if they win.
Minnesota- Got screwed last season winning a L3 and only maintaining status. This year gets a L2 matchup with fellow LTNJ Ole Miss.
Arizona- Lost their L1 bowl, so should drop to In Jeopardy.
Ole Miss- Playing Minnesota in a L2 bowl as previously mentioned. Loser drops to In Jeopardy, winner might move up to Secure.
Georgia- Having a good season, currently ranked #25. Playing Colorado St. in a L3 bowl. Losing that game might drop them to In Jeopardy, hard to say though.
High Stakes Games:
Washington (In Jeopardy) vs. Notre Dame (LTNJ)
Minnesota (LTNJ) vs. Ole Miss (LTNJ)
