  "account": "The 2025 CFP Program issued an alarm following the team's 60-10 loss on Saturday. Texas A&M's season has been the most unexpected, currently sitting at 4-5 after a 17-9 defeat against South Carolina. Tulane's struggles, while more understandable, are concerning as well. The Green Wave lost head coach Jon Sumrall to Florida after the CFP, and they too ended the day at 4-5 overall with a 2-3 American conference record following a 60-10 loss to Tulsa. After the game, Tulane athletic director David Harris expressed his disappointment, stating that the team's performance was unacceptable. Harris emphasized that the loss was far below the standard expected from Tulane Football, given the work, discipline, and sacrifice invested by the players, staff, and community. He noted that while any loss is tough, this defeat was particularly alarming due to the significant point differential. Harris pledged to address the team's shortcomings with urgency and improvement in the remaining games. Will Hall, promoted from pass game coordinator to head coach following Sumrall's departure, is undoubtedly under pressure to secure at least two wins and bowl eligibility in the next three games. Tulane's final three opponents are Rice, North Texas, and South Florida.",
