I’m torn. I like the irony of the PAC-12 finally proving it can win it all, but a Michigan win gets us years and years of debate about whether their championship comes with an asterisk because of the sign stealing scandal.

I generally love Kirk’s Watch Grids, but he seems to have a different philosophy when it comes to Bowl Season than me. I think he could have chosen at least one Watch This game per few days.

For example, Miami (OH) v. App State is an interesting game. As the MAC Champion, Miami seems to be on the rise, knocking off a Toledo that I certainly thought would win. App State is looking to bounce back to its 5 game winning streak form and show that its loss to Troy in the Sun Belt Championship wasn’t indicative of their program.

While that game is nowhere near the “Must Watch” status of FSU v. Georgia, it’s one I’ll be watching on the 16th.

Curious what “must watch” games others put on their list that might be flying under the radar.

I’m an east coaster and fell asleep too early to watch this game. But today made me hate realignment even more. The Apple Cup in particular showed how dynamic the PAC-12 is.

I don’t know about anyone else, but for me this has been my favorite weekend of college football this entire season. Every game has been great. Really living up to the hype.

That was fucking brutal. SEC Shorts is killing it this season.

I have to work for part of today, and normally that would annoy me, but I feel like this week’s slate is pretty meh. A couple of good games, sure, but not one of those days that I’m watching from noon to midnight.

On our /c/cfb poll I have Washington at 3, under Michigan and Ohio State. I don’t understand why the press remains so enamored with Georgia.

I would say it’s largely because I’m bad at this, and you’re probably right.

EDIT: I just noticed the Coaches Poll did something similar to me. Of course, the Coaches Poll is often bizarre.
