merikus,

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.

merikus,

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.

merikus,

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.

merikus,

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.

merikus,

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

merikus,

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.

merikus,

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

merikus,

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.

merikus,

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
merikus,

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.

merikus,

Head/desk.

Yes.

merikus,

I think the criticism of McAfee on Gameday has been good for him. I didn’t like the zany energy he brought at first because it was way too over the top. The fact that the fans didn’t embrace it forced him to tone it down, and I think that’s made him more of a team player on the panel.

I frankly wouldn’t mind if he came back next year anymore. His rapport with Herbie is particularly good, and he does a good job of bringing the crowd into it. So long as he keeps in mind he isn’t the one and only star of the show he’s a good addition.

merikus,

Why are we still talking about them? Gameday just did a segment on their game. Like, who cares? I think in a few years they may be good but it’s just not interesting anymore.

merikus,

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

merikus,

These are very helpful blog posts, thank you.

I skimmed the posts and saw some shortcuts about sending Things links to Obsidian. Is that the post you’re referring to? It seems that method can be adapted to a regular URL, but I’m curious your thoughts.

merikus,

Appreciate it!

merikus,

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.
