Kalani Sitake is going to stay at BYU, a huge statement for the Cougars (and Crumbl Cookies?) in the Big 12. Penn State's coaching search is spiraling.

On today's episode of Locked On College Football, Spencer McLaughlin reacts to the latest College Football Playoff rankings. Miami being two spots behind Notre Dame continues to be a calamity.

The G5 could very well get two teams into the Playoff and leave the ACC out if Duke beats Virginia in the ACC Championship. Is that good for the sport?

Oregon's Dan Lanning and Texas' Steve Sarkisian both made affirmative statements that they will be staying put at their respective jobs. As Alabama's list of coaching candidates continues to dwindle down, Washington's Kalen DeBoer is likely at or near the top of their list.

On today's episode of Locked On Pac-12, Spencer McLaughlin dives further into the Crimson Tide's continued pursuit of a new football coach to replace Nick Saban. Florida State's Mike Norvell could be an option as well coming off a 13-0 season, but the relatively cheaper cost of his buyout would not be the reason why.

This is the FINAL EPISODE of Locked On Pac-12 before it becomes "Locked On College Football" starting on Monday. Spencer dives into a final Locked On Pac-12 mailbag, concluding with a thought on why "Pac-12 After Dark" may live on in the new-look world of college football.

Washington improved to 9-0 with a 52-42 win against USC in Los Angeles on Saturday night, and they will not be any lower than #5 in the next College Football Playoff rankings. The Pac-12's possibility of getting into the CFP is a real one, but they might need some more outside help.

On today's episode of Locked On Pac-12, Spencer McLaughlin also looks at how each fanbase should feel after week 10. Arizona proved themselves worthy once again with their third straight top 25 victory over UCLA, 27-10.

USC should consider changes to their defensive staff, but does Lincoln Riley have the courage to finally pull the plug on Alex Grinch as the defensive coordinator? Plus, what to make of tough times in Pullman.
