Matt Mosley, contributor to SportsDayDFW.com and columnist for Texas Monthly, answered your questions in a recent live chat. Here are some highlights:

Who do you think Baylor will be able to pick from as far as the next head football coach goes? That job won't be what it was even just a year ago.

Mosley: It's a Power 5 job that will offer somewhere in the $5-7 million range. I think there will be plenty of good candidates. Is it a better job than Texas? Definitely not, but it's a safer job. You're basically taking over a program that has been embroiled in controversy. You have a chance to completely change the narrative. It's a MUCH safer job than Texas, come to think of it. Even with the possibility of probation in the future.

Is next year the breakout year for SMU football?

Mosley: Oh, I wouldn't say that. If this young QB continues to develop, you may have a little something. Has Matt Davis been granted a 10th year? I love Courtland Sutton...and so do NFL scouts. But I think it would be wildly premature to predict a "breakout year" for the Mustangs. I think Baylor would look at Chad if he has an upset or two down the stretch, by the way.

Are A&M's playoff hopes toast with a loss Saturday? What if Aggies lost a close one and got some help down the stretch? Sneak in as a No. 4 seed with Bama as the 1?

Mosley: A close loss in Tuscaloosa wouldn't automatically eliminate the Ags. They'd obviously need to win out, and do it impressively. Would they get in over an undefeated West Virginia or Baylor? I have my doubts. Even though much of the country detests Baylor right now because of the scandal, the folks in that room have to take all that out of the equation. It would be a fascinating discussion though. Ags would be touting that win over UCLA vs. BU's usual non-conference slate. I think we've hit on an interesting topic.

What will it take for Texas Tech to fire Kliff Kingsbury?

Mosley: If the Red Raiders aren't bowl eligible, that might do the trick. I really like Kliff. I hate it when a favorite son doesn't work out for a program. But that defense has been so embarrassing for a few years now. I was hoping that win in Fayetteville would jump-start the program. It didn't. Kliff is on the hot seat. Would they bring Art home?

Given how well A&M has played so far this season, is Sumlin's job safe for the year short of losing out?

Mosley: Oh yeah, he's safe. This has been a remarkable season. The Ags need to make this a game Saturday. But no matter what happens, Sumlin is safe. Now if the Ags lose to Bama and LSU, there will be some grumbling. A win over LSU would be huge for Sumlin because he hasn't gotten that done.
