I’m going to be honest with you… I still haven’t fully recovered from this past weekend. I’ve mostly been sort of mumbling to myself as I walk around the house listening to a looped Spotify playlist comprised entirely of Joy Division, The Cure, Elliott Smith, The Antlers, and late-era Nick Cave. All this is to say, I’m just not in a very college football-y place right now. So, if you’ll forgive me, I’m going to keep this short…

Now, here are some thoughts about a few games you may decide to slog through over the course of what promises to be another weekend hellscape:
Wednesday
South Alabama Jaguars @ Troy Trojans, 8:00 pm, ESPN2
Ahh, yes… a game between two teams with a combined 3-8 record. Clearly we’re invested in starting off the festivities on the right foot.
Thursday
UCLA Bruins @ Stanford Cardinal, 9:00 pm, ESPN
An absolute slugfest in the PAC-12. If you thought Wednesday was special, these bad boys are a combined 4-8… LOOK OUT!
Friday
#4 Ohio State Buckeyes @ Northwestern Wildcats, 8:30pm, Friday
Yeah, that’s the ticket. Really twist the knife and then just jiggle it around a bit for good measure.
Noon
Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets @ Miami Hurricanes, 12:00 pm, ACCNetwork
I take solace in the knowledge that, no matter how bad things get, we will never have to live in the perpetual cloud of suck that Georgia Tech foists upon its fans.
Afternoon
LSU Tigers @ Mississippi St. Bulldogs, 3:30 pm, CBS
You know what will just really rub some salt in the wound? How about the dulcet tones of Gary Danielson extolling the virtues of the Tigers for 3 hours (in a surface level way, involving little to no actual analysis, as is his wont)?
Evening
Florida State Seminoles @ Wake Forest Demon Deacons, 7:30 pm. ACCNetwork
I’ll be watching Georgia/Kentucky, of course, but I’d be hard-pressed to recommend such a thing. And since misery loves company, take the Demon Deacons and the points.
Late Night
Air Force Falcons @ Hawaii Rainbow Warriors, 11:00 pm, CBSSN
What better way to end the evening than on the sandy beaches of Hawaii… where we can lay back and imagine an existence that doesn’t so closely resemble this one…
That’s all for this week, folks. Until next time…
