1 Tennessee(3--7) hit rocky bottom last weekend, losing at home to Wyoming (4--6) fivedays after ousting 17-year coach Phillip Fulmer. The school should go afterTexas Tech's Mike Leach; the eccentric Red Raiders coach spent time in the SECas an assistant at Kentucky in 1997 and '98.
2 Iowa not onlyknocked off undefeated Penn State, it may have saved coach Kirk Ferentz's job.If the 6--4 Hawkeyes can close out with wins against Purdue and Minnesota,they'll likely play in a New Year's Day bowl.
