Welcome back to This Week In Foobaw, the thread where we talk very literally and seriously about the things we're almost certain to physically see on the field this week.
Week 5 finds us emerging from wreckage, both metaphorically and straight up phorically, as most teams seasons already feel like they spent the night in Tallahassee last night, especially FSU. At least one more team is going to join us down here, where some of us don't even float.
Thursday:
Temple vs Army happened, and Paul Johnson's assistant's new team beat the stuffing out of Geoff Collins' old old team, as if we needed any help with the comparison.
Friday:
7:30 PM: VT at Miami on ESPN. Miami is ranked 7th in the nation, and VT is probably in the top 50 FCS schools right now. Having lost to Vanderbilt and Rutgers, VT is now destined to run the table in the ACC, bringing unbearable shame unto us all. But especially unbearable shame will belong to Miami, as the clock expires and the final gulps of White Claw are drained from their cans in Will Smith's favorite city around 11:30 PM.
8:00 PM: Washington at Rugters on FOX. Rutgers just beat VT, and so is destined to be hammered into paste by Washington, and every other team that plays them, because the ACC spirits demand it.
Saturday:
High Noon: Kentucky at Ole Miss on ABC. Kentucky's defense has been extremely stingy so far this season, holding both their SEC foes under 300 yards of total offense, including #1 Georgia. Lane Kiffin is coming to town, though, and he's a bit unhinged right now, beating people so hard they are paying him money to stop. Is Kentucky just that good, or is Georgia just a fraud? I think we all know the answer, and Lane Kiffin will be schooling the world on it bright and early.
Also in this time slot: Oklahoma State and Kansas State are playing on ESPN, and are both technically ranked! That's a thing!
Higher Afternoon: Louisville vs Notre Dame on... Peacock? I don't know if this is NBC, or a bird themed network that did not realize that "Irish Cardinals" was an abbreviation for this matchup and not an exotic bird species documentary. I don't watch television. I tried to figure out if Irish Cardinals were a real bird species, and this is what I found.
Enjoy the game?
Also in this time slot: Arkansas plays ATM, Colorado plays another close match / shootout against UCF, Georgia Southern plays Georgia State for all the marbles, maybe TCU and Kansas might be interesting.
Highest Evening: Georgia at Alabama on ABC. I think mother nature was cluing us into how this was going to go when she made a literal tide roll through Georgia this week. Sorry you all had to endure that for the sake of a football game, but it'll be worth it, I promise.
Also in this time slot: Penn State and Illinois play, if you need a highly ranked cure for your insomnia, FSU plays a team whose mascot is the lower half of their mascot, virtually guaranteeing them a conference win, and Oregon plays UCLA tomorrow today.
Any other games you guys find interesting for any serious, scholarly reasons that shall not include humor or frivolity of any kind? Feel free to include actual images of your subjects if you do.
