"I'm sort of set up for Notre Dame on Nov. 30 and Arkansas on Dec. 14. I'll probably have to re-work Notre Dame because we should still be in the playoffs."
Jackson said West Virginia, Mississippi State, Alabama and LSU are the other candidates for visits. He might not take a trip to Baton Rouge because he's been down there a "thousand times," but the Tigers are still going to be considered.
