2. Mike Riley, Nebraska

Another week has gone by without the termination of Mike Riley and it is now pretty clear to most that he will be dumped following the Huskers game against division rival Iowa. Many have speculated that Scott Frost will return to Lincoln and restore the Nebraska program to its former glory.

Frost, a former quarterback who led Nebraska to a share of the 1997 national championship, currently has his UCF Knights in the midst of an undefeated regular season, with the War on I-4 coming up against USF.

Riley could make things interesting for AD Bill Moos however. Moos publicly stated this past weekend that he intends to keep the Black Friday game between the Huskers and the Hawkeyes. Iowa is currently on an ugly two-game losing streak following their blowout of then No. 6 Ohio State and their offense has barely generated anything the last couple of weeks.

If Riley and company can give Nebraska their first win over Iowa since 2014, he could make things interesting in the decision Bill Moos makes.
