Last Chaos Tips » guaranteed a spot in a New Years Six bowl, so

ROME -- Now that Frank de Boer has been fired, Inter Milan fans are debating who was more responsible for the squads poor start to the season: the Dutch manager or the new Chinese owners.While De Boer never really showed a complete understanding of Italian football tactics in his 84 days in charge, more blame is being heaped on the retail giant Suning, which took control of 70 percent of Inter in June.Even an extraordinary coach cant do great things without the club. You cant control a football squad from Jakarta, Beijing or Nanjing, said Marco Tronchetti Provera, the CEO of Inters chief sponsor Pirelli and a big supporter of the team. Theres been a long line of mistakes. ... This is a problem that should have been resolved a while ago.De Boer was fired on Tuesday after producing only five wins, seven losses and two draws in 14 matches in all competitions -- leaving the club in 12th place in Serie A and also struggling in the Europa League. Many Inter fans had lost patience with the Dutchman and were calling for a change.De Boer was hired less than two weeks before the season began following the unexpected resignation of Roberto Mancini, who reportedly wanted more control over the transfer market and clashed with Suning.Players who thrived under Mancini struggled under De Boer.Felipe Melo has appeared in just two of 11 Serie A matches. Fellow midfielder Geoffrey Kondogbia lost his place in the starting lineup after getting substituted 28 minutes into a 1-1 draw with Bologna because he wasnt listening to De Boers instructions.Gabriel Barbosa, the promising Brazilian forward known as Gabigol who Inter signed in late August amid great fanfare -- even though it was unclear if De Boer wanted him -- appeared for just 21 minutes against Bologna and hasnt played since.Mauro Icardi, the high-scoring Inter captain, was widely ridiculed by the clubs hardcore ultra fans after recounting a clash with the supporters in his recently published autobiography.The lone highlight of De Boers campaign was a 2-1 win over Juventus in September -- sandwiched in between embarrassing Europa League losses to Hapoel Beer-Sheva and Sparta Prague, matches in which Inter was outscored 5-1.Its too bad it ended like this, De Boer said on Twitter. This task required more time to move forward.Inters youth squad coach, Stefano Vecchi, was given temporary control of the senior team for Thursdays Europa League match at Southampton.Former Chievo Verona, Bologna and Lazio coach Stefano Pioli is the leading candidate to take over permanently for De Boer.Im sorry for De Boer. Im sorry for Pioli. Its the management that should be fired, Tweeted entertainer, comedian and Inter supporter Rosario Fiorello.Inters next coach will become the teams ninth since Jose Mourinho led the club to a treble in 2010. The others were: Rafa Benitez, Leonardo, Gian Piero Gasperini, Claudio Ranieri, Andrea Stramaccioni, Walter Mazzarri, Mancini and De Boer.Of the bunch, De Boers term was the shortest, beating the 90 days that Gasperini -- who is now finding success at Atalanta -- was in charge in 2011. Ranieri, who led Leicester to the English Premier League title last season, also didnt last a full term as Gasperinis replacement.On social media, Inter supporters declared that the coaching changes highlight the incapability of the management and said De Boers sacking was a shame.An 18-time Serie A champion, Inter is 13 points behind Italian league leader Juventus and has 10 fewer points than at this stage last season, when it stood second and appeared to be a genuine challenger to Juventus.As a player, De Boer won the Champions League with Ajax. He also coached the Dutch club to four Eredivisie titles before resigning at the end of last season.De Boer had never played or coached in Italy before taking the Inter job.Former Serie A coach turned commentator Emiliano Mondonico suggested that De Boer deserved at least six months.He has a revolutionary idea of football that deserved time to be applied and assimilated by the players, Mondonico said. Unfortunately, the Italian mentality doesnt include patience.Mondonico added that Inter should have provided De Boer with an expert Italian guide, like when he assisted Sven-Goran Eriksson for the Swedes first season in Italy with Roma in 1984-85.(Then Roma president) Dino Viola made me his assistant to help him get settled in his new environment, Mondonico recounted. The president understood that Roma was a difficult place to control for anybody, so I tried to put the Swede in the best condition to coach in absolute tranquility.Suning decided to fire De Boer after Inter appeared thoroughly confused in a 1-0 loss at Sampdoria on Sunday.Generally, the only winning formula in football is a passionate owner who is close to the squad, exactly like (Silvio) Berlusconi with AC Milan or (Andrea) Agnelli at Juventus, Tronchetti Provera said.The Chinese owners moved well in the transfer market, but theyve got to rely on someone who knows Italian football well and give them full powers to control the squad, Tronchetti Provera said.

Hit your snooze button.The College Football Playoff selection committee kept No. 1 Alabama, No. 2 Ohio State, No. 3 Michigan and No. 4 Clemson in the same spots as last week in its fourth CFP ranking of the season, but Louisville sank from No. 5 to No. 11, and new No. 5 Washington took its spot on the bubble heading into the Apple Cup on Friday against Washington State.The Huskies were followed by No. 6 Wisconsin and No. 7 Penn State, showing that No. 8 Oklahoma still has some work to do -- and needs some upsets to happen -- in order to move up. The Sooners earned their first win of the season against a ranked opponent Saturday at West Virginia, but it clearly wasnt enough to sway the committee to bump OU ahead of the two-loss Big Ten teams.The Sooners and No. 12 USC have been two of the hottest teams in the country in recent weeks, with OU winning eight straight and the Trojans winning seven straight, but they remain on the outside looking in. Its certainly possible that could change in the next two weeks, but the committee has made it clear again, in this particular snapshot, that both teams still need some help.In the Group of 5, one-loss No. 19 Boise State and two-loss No. 20 Houston were both ahead of undefeated No. 21 Western Michigan, again underscoring the committees emphasis on strength of schedule over an undefeated record. No. 25 Navy was also ranked this week after clinching the American Athletic Conference West Division.Heres what the bracket would look like today:As for the other major bowls, heres a projection based on the current ranking:The Rose Bowl Game presented by Northwestern Mutual gets the Pac-12 champ, which in this case would be No. 5 Washington. Since the Big Ten champ (assuming its either Ohio State or Michigan in this case) and another Big Ten team are in a semifinal, the Rose Bowl would choose the next highest-raanked Big Ten team, which would be No.dddddddddddd 6 Wisconsin.The Allstate Sugar Bowl is guaranteed the Big 12 champ, which would be No. 8 Oklahoma, but because SEC champ Alabama is in the semifinal, it would take the next highest-ranked SEC team, No. 13 Auburn.The Capital One Orange Bowl is guaranteed the ACC champion, but because Clemson is in a semifinal, it would take the next highest-ranked team, which would be No. 11 Louisville. The Orange Bowl then chooses the next highest-ranked team from the SEC, Big Ten or Notre Dame. In this case, it would be No. 7 Penn State.The highest-ranked Group of 5 conference champion is guaranteed a spot in a New Years Six bowl, so No. 19 Boise State would go to the Goodyear Cotton Bowl Classic based on todays ranking. The reality of the situation, though, is that Boise State still needs Wyoming to lose at New Mexico on Saturday to win the Mountain Wests Mountain Division. If that doesnt happen, it opens the door for a team such as Western Michigan. The Cotton Bowl would then get the highest-ranked at-large team, which would be No. 9 Colorado.Heres what the New Years Six could look like, based on todays rankings:Dec. 308 p.m. ET: Capital One Orange Bowl: No. 7 Penn State vs. No. 11 LouisvilleDec. 313 p.m. or 7 p.m. ET: College Football Playoff semifinal at the Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl: No. 1 Alabama vs. No. 4 Clemson3 p.m. or 7 p.m. ET: College Football Playoff semifinal at the PlayStation Fiesta Bowl: No. 2 Ohio State vs. No. 3 MichiganJan. 21 p.m. ET: Goodyear Cotton Bowl Classic: No. 9 Colorado vs. No. 19 Boise State5 p.m. ET: Rose Bowl Game presented by Northwestern Mutual: No. 6 Wisconsin vs. No. 5 Washington8:30 p.m. ET: Allstate Sugar Bowl: No. 8 Oklahoma vs. No. 13 Auburn ' ' '
