That was a fun surprise Thursday for everyone trying to tune in to the Florida-Utah game. Wankers. Anyway, let's get to it, with a quick preview of our favorite teams. Read more... |

As usual, "week 1" isn't the actual first week of football, as we had a number of games last week. (Nebraska blew a lead to lose to Northwestern. The Scott Frost curse continues.) But in our shared delusion, we all still call this coming weekend "Week 1". Michigan plays Colorado State on Saturday; Penn State plays at Purdue tonight (!), and N.C. State is at East Carolina on Saturday. Read more... |
