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.

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.

My family is pretty meh on football, I wonder what happens if I turn on Rutgers / Iowa. Time to find out.

Head/desk.

Yes.

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.

I found today’s poll super hard. My methodology is what it always is: look at the last week’s rankings, look at the results, and vibe my way through it.

The hardest part of this week was when I got to 20, realized I forgot about Oklahoma, and had to figure out the middle again.

I have very low confidence on my picks under the 10 or 11 slot, but based on this week’s results, so do the professional pollers too.

1. Michigan
2. Ohio State
3. Washington
4. Florida
5. Georgia
6. Oregon
7. Penn State
8. Texas
9. Alabama
10. Louisville
11. Ole Miss
12. Missouri
13. Oklahoma
14. Oregon State
15. Utah
16. Tennessee
17. LSU
18. Kansas
19. Notre Dame
20. Tulane
21. USC
22. Oklahoma State
23. Clemson
24. Arizona
25. UCLA

This is so hilarious I’m sorry I’m missing it.

I don’t know what to do with ranking Michigan anymore. I honestly think they are number 1 in the country, but that may not be due to talent, it could be due to unfair competitive advantage.

The next couple of weeks will prove if they’re for real or not.

The may very well be my favorite SEC Short of all time.

It’s nice to finally have a MAC game not on ESPN+.

Can’t wait for MACtion.

That coffin corner punt downed at the .5 yard line was incredible to behold. Not just the punt itself, but the footwork of the special teamer to stay off the goal line.

This is my first Iowa game of the year. It’s like nothing else I’ve seen yet. No wonder everyone memes them so much.

Directional Michigan as a super dog! Go MAC!

On Gameday they were showing Georgia’s remaining schedule. I’m honestly surprised by how easy it looks. Tenneseee seems to be their biggest challenge, aside from the SEC Championship Game. Hope they don’t get in the Playoffs on this schedule.

After that they talked a little bit about Washington’s schedule which is an utter gauntlet. Honestly if Washington went through that schedule with one lost I’d feel better about them in the Playoff than an undefeated Georgia.

But as we all know from the poll, /c/cfb things Georgia is overrated.

It’s this philosophy that keeps bringing me back to the Grid.

Seems like this isn’t a bad Saturday to have a work thing in the afternoon. I’ll probably get to see most of Penn/tOSU before having to head out.

I was surprised to see a late window game in the must watch column. Anyone know why? Not familiar with those teams.
