Mark Stoops claims he has no interest in leaving Kentucky.
Reports broke late Saturday that the head coach of the Wildcats was at the top of the list to take over at Texas A&M after Jimbo Fisher was fired.

The good news for angry Texas A&M fans is it appears Stoops has no interest in taking over in College Station.
“I know there’s been much speculation about me and my job situation the last couple of days.

Rivalry week is always special in college football. Few deliver like this one did, and the chaos arrived not a moment too soon. Next year the spite will still be there for many games, but the last Saturday of the regular season will look slightly different. Oregon and Washington will play each other, and the Apple Cup will move to the beginning of the season. It’s unclear if Oregon and Oregon State will continue to play. Texas will likely be playing Texas A&M, a welcome return after a long hiatus.

The Bulldogs are chasing their third consecutive national championship, something that by most measurements hasn’t been accomplished since Minnesota’s 1930s dynasty. However, Georgia has quietly moved amassed one of college football’s longest winning streaks.
On Saturday, the Bulldogs topped Georgia Tech, 31–23, to win their 29th consecutive game. The win gave them sole possession of the longest winning streak in SEC history.
