  1. UVA looks great tonight, especially against FSU's over-designed stormtrooper alternates.
  2. Fuck that was distracted texting not trying to come up with a fun new nickname ( @SydneyCarton you of all people should understand)
  3. I'm alive! Time to rest, relax, and enjoy the most momentous weekend of the season since Week One. I did not have much time to watch the games last weekend so this week's edition will be especially vibes-based. Thursday Army @ East Carolina (-2.5) (7:30/6:30 ESPN): A do or die game for contention in the ferocious AAC. Army lost a shootout in Denton. ECU hung tough but fell to two P5s and needs a positive charge to start the conference slate. Should be a good one! Friday #8 Florida State (-7) @ Virginia (7/6 ESPN): A top ten team on the road on a Friday! The Noles should stomp the Wahoos, but at least the home fans get to hang out in Charlottesville. #24 TCU @ Arizona State (-2.5) (9/8 Fox): Another ranked team on the road as two major contenders in the Conference of Parity face off in the desert. Dykes vs. Dillingham is a fun coaching battle. Houston (-9) @ Oregon State (10:30/9:30 ESPN): Just go to sleep guys. Sad what's happened to the Beavs and West Coast Cougs. Saturday Early #21 USC @ #23 Illinois (12/11 Fox): Oooooh boy does this feel like a trap for USC, who had to do the clopen shifts - ending Week Four with a late night win over Sparty and waking up bright and early Pacific time for this one. #22 Notre Dame (-5) @ Arkansas (12/11 ABC): What a fucking cripple fight. How is ND ranked? Louisville (-3) @ Pitt (12/11 ESPN2): I don't know. It's a thin early slate. Mid-Afternoon #4 LSU (-1) @ #13 Ole Miss (3:30/2:30 ABC): Garrett Nussmeier vs. .....Trinidad Chambliss? The Ferris State transfer took over from Austin Simmons after his injury and has maintained his starting role even with Simmons back. A huge test in Oxford for the Bayou Bengals. #1 Ohio State (-10) @ Washington (3:30/2:30 CBS): UDub comes in on a wave of confidence after eviscerating the Little Sisters of the Poor, but talk about a stern test for them and for Julian Sayin in one of college football's most stunning settings. Auburn @ #9 Texas A&M (-4.5) (3:30/2:30 ESPN): Come on Hugh Freeze, do something really funny here. #11 Indiana (-4) @ Iowa (3:30/2:30 Peacock): Another game with T-R-A-P written all over it. Too bad it's on fucking Peacock. Primetime #17 Alabama @ #5 Georgia (-3) (7:30/6:30 ABC): It's Bama at Georgia, what more do you want? #6 Oregon @ #3 Penn State (-3) (7:30/6:30 NBC): White Out conditions in Happy Valley. The Ducks against the Pedos. James Franklin against an equally talented team. The only option is to pull for Oregon. Kentucky @ South Carolina (-7) (7:45/6:45 SECN): Remember top ten South Carolina? The pollsters don't! Now they're battling Kentucky for bottomfeeder relevance. Woof. RIP Pac-12 After Dark #25 BYU (-6) @ Colorado (10:15/9:15 ESPN): The c0.0%gs (workshopping it) are making a sneaky run at the Big 12 title, and are coming off a very professional away win in Greenville. Deion's close loss to GaTech looks better and better, but getting rocked by UH doesn't Happy bye week, y'all!
  4. It was shocking at the time, which is what matters in this context
  5. You see that logo and color scheme has fun and character. Therefore it is out of brand guidelines for the NFL.
  6. That's kind of worked for Miami with Cristobal. But they have legit NIL.
  7. I'm so happy we're moving to a closed super league system, who wants all these fun upsets anyway? (Also, look out BYU)
  8. ...do you not like college football? A fun ranked vs ranked game on each slot plus interesting secondary games all over.
  9. Man, even the band's off script this year
  10. ECU football games are a blast (I have never seen a drunker student body, and I've been to a lot of college football games), and their admin is really hyping this one up as a big nationally televised showcase, so they want to turn Dowdy-Ficklen into a cauldron. The red No Quarter flags coming out in the fourth quarter is an awesome tradition. Two teams I like and have lots of connections to, so I'm happy either way!
  11. Don't know what team this looks like, but it ain't Michigan (to be fair, I've always thought Michigan's actual uniforms are kind of mid, and carried in the popular imagination by their cool helmets)
  12. I'm happy to inform you that Oktoberfest in Munich is almost entirely a September event: https://www.oktoberfest.de/en It's held the 16 days before the first Sunday in October.
  13. The the scenic banks of the James River in Virginia... FIGHT!!!
  14. Buffalo deciding on a late blackout meant the Troy graphics guy had to make a quick update on the pants
  15. Looks like Charlotte's going for a gold out tonight against Rice
  16. Beyond the CFP stuff, in terms of letting your eyeballs simply observe football, this is also a well-balanced and truly quadbox-worthy Saturday. Three must-monitor games in each time range, plus whatever is happening simultaneously in your team's conference, starting with the early round: The Big 12's current brand: a whole bunch of good teams, but maybe only one elite at a time. Among the undefeateds, Texas Tech at Utah (-3 per BetMGM) could help establish an actual upper class. The 104th Iron Skillet battle between 2-0 TCU (-7) and 2-1 SMU will be the last, at least for now. Dave Wilson on the history of this rivalry, once the biggest deal in all of football. 2-1 Arkansas (-7.5) at 3-0 Memphis is one of two games in which a top-tier contender for the G5's CFP spot could snatch Shiniest Takedown status away from 2-1 USF. The middle of Saturday: Auburn at Oklahoma (-6.5) will establish a 4-0 SEC dark horse (and probably hurl the newly 3-1 coach back into hot-seat frenzies), and it'll also add to the 1989-2025 history of QB revenge games as Auburn's Jackson Arnold returns to Norman. If 3-0 Nebraska wins at home against 2-1 Michigan (-2.5), expect some chatter about the Wolverines' creative timing of head coach Sherrone Moore's suspension. Missing the Big Ten opener? 3-0 Tulane at 3-0 Ole Miss (-12.5) is the other game in which a lil guy could become a near-favorite to make the CFP. And hey, the Rebels also appeared in one of those dark-horse lists up top. Former SEC rivals! And from the East Coast evening onward: Indiana (-6) is in the game of the week? Sure, what else is new? The Hoosiers must be playing Ohio Sta— ... wait, Illinois is also in the game of the week? Scott Dochterman on the series' biggest game in at least 115 years. 2-1 Florida's (+7.5) games will appear in the Watch Grid until Billy Napier wins enough of them to somehow keep his job again or loses enough of them to get fired. Though the coaching carousel is technically underway, it won't really get cranking until a job this prominent opens. We will be watching 3-0 Michigan State (+18.5) play football at 2 a.m. ET. This affront to nature was brought to you by the Big Ten's love of money. https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6641202/2025/09/18/college-football-schedule-week-4-indiana-until-saturday/
