Some Notes From ESPN

These two topics written by Pat Forde were published on ESPN.com today.
The national media is beginning to but Ogeron on the hot seat. To be honest, I do not believe he is on the seat at all. Yeah, I am mad about the current situation, but I am not calling for him to be fired by any means. And I know of no one that wonders why we fired Cut. That statement is ludicrous. What fans he is talking to I have no idea.

Unusually Undefeated
Last time the Demon Deacons were 3-0: 1987, when they ran it to 5-0 and finished 7-4.
Rankings: Not receiving votes in either the AP or USA Today Top 25s. Ranked 36th in the Sagarin Ratings.
Key ingredient: Mental toughness. Wake lost its starting quarterback, Ben Mauk (7), to a broken arm in the opener, but hasn't been deterred. Wake also has won the fourth quarter of every game, outscoring its three opponents 24-0 in the final 15 minutes.
When will reality hit? With their next two games against reeling Mississippi and lightweight Liberty, the Deacs have a chance to go 5-0. Then comes a home game against Clemson -- a team Wake has beaten two of the past three years, with the lone loss coming in overtime. A victory over the Tigers could be the school's first 6-0 start since World War II -- but don't count on it.

Coaching Heat Index
Just beginning to smolder: Ed Orgeron (27), Mississippi. Much as Rebels fans would like to delight in the travails in Starkville, they can't afford to with their own debacle unfolding in Oxford. Ole Miserable has been on the road twice and lost by the combined count of 65-21 -- and that's to Missouri and Kentucky, not Texas and Florida. Strong recruiting should buy Orgeron time, but fans have to wonder every day why it was imperative to get rid of David Cutcliffe in 2004.
