Yahoo! columnist Pat Forde appeared on The Dan Patrick Show and made some interesting comments (3:13 on the audio) about the College Football head coaching vacancy pecking order.

Hint: It was a pleasant surprise. Maybe even more surprising was the fact that CBS’ Tim Brando (a perennial Hog Hater since his pal. the Former Mississippi Coach, was canned by Arkansas) expressed similar thoughts about the UA vacancy today on Sports Talk With Bo Mattingly.

As of now, I would rank them (in terms of attractiveness):

1. Arkansas

2. Tennessee

3. Auburn

4. Colorado

5. Cal

6. NC State

7. Purdue

8. Kentucky

9. Boston College
