It's hurricane Irma week, and just like the approaching real life storm, this week will have us all watching as it slowly approaches, waiting to see where exactly it will turn, rapt at the first arrival of the outer bands, checking our apps to see the latest hints of how strong it might be, and then trying to ride it out with the help of alcohol as we become powerless in the fleeting eye of the titanic gyre.
Thursday, September 7
8:00 PM - Idaho State at Utah State. Idaho State boosters got their head coach, AD, and university president fired this off season by threatening to withhold about $80,000 in donations. So from one fan-base that knows the power of 80k to another, go Bengals!
Friday, September 8
6:30 PM - Memphis at UCF. Get another look at our week 3 opponent before they get Irma'd. Memphis should prove to be a little tougher than the directional Florida school, so this could end up being a good game of football.
8:00 PM - #11 Oklahoma State at South Alabama. If you wanna see that touchdown play a few more times, they are going to be showing it for a bit.
8:00 PM - Ohio at Purdue. You just be ready for me to recommend that you watch every single Jeff Brohm game this season, because Jeff Brohm is a maniac. Actually, his team beat the Memphis Maniax while he was injured at QB for the Orlando Rage. Check it out. That said, this is Purdue we're talking about here, they absolutely might play a close game with Ohio.

12:00 PM - #17 Louisville at North Carolina. North Carolina only gave up a surprising 3.0 yards per rush against Cal, on 35 attempts, which was very unexpected, even if they did get shredded for 9.6 per pass. Louisville managed to play a close game with Purdue despite outgaining them by nearly 200 yards; a game that featured 9 turnovers if you count Jeff Brohm going for it three times and failing twice. I think this contest is comprised entirely of question marks, but it's an important ACC match-up that could either help eliminate the Tarheels from contention in the Coastal or outright end any minor chance Louisville has left in the Atlantic. I don't think there's anything on the UNC defense that can stop Lamar Jackson, and I'm quite certain there's nothing on their offense, just in general. I mean, they let Brandon Harris throw it 16 freaking times.
12:00 PM - Northwestern at Duke. Duke lost this game last year 24-14 at Northwestern, but then again, they only beat NCC 49-6 last year instead of 60-7 like they did last week. Duke played a mostly dink and dunk passing game against NCC with a surprisingly strong running game, combined with a defense that scored 9 points in the first half, while Northwestern seems to have played something not resembling football against Nevada, rushing 50 times for just 156 yards and a whopping 38:55 in TOP while sprinkling a scant 38 pass attempts on top for 352 in extra change, and going for it on fourth down five times. I dub this the "no chill" offense. These two should play a pretty close game, and with the tiniest little shred of inter-conference pride on the line, surely this will be an instant classic. "Remember the old Northwestern at Duke game?" your grandkids will say to you, eyes wide with excitement to hear the tale of it from someone who still owns the quaint little DVR on which those electrons are forever gloriously emblazoned. "Oh yes," you'll say, "who could ever forget?"
12:30 PM - Jacksonville State at Georgia Tech. Be here, or regret having to listen to the bottom rung ACCDN announcers for three hours. Jacksonville State is starting a walk on quarterback turned linebacker turned safety turned quarterback backup who won the starting job by default this year, proving wrong his quarterbacks coach who once famously told him "you'll never ever play quarterback at JSU". He threw two picks against Chattanooga in an otherwise okay-I-guess showing. They have some decent size at starting guards, and some 6'5 and 6'7 receivers to go along with international superstar and multi-planetary man of mystery, Roc Thomas, the "former" 5 star running back from Auburn. That should make it seem interesting before kickoff! On the defensive side, gonna have to assume that they've seen the option before, as their co-defensive-coordinators have been in the FCS game for a minute. That said, please wear proper eye protection while viewing the game, because the bootyblasting their defense is going to take may produce high velocity debris that could reach every part of BDS.
1:00 PM Wake Forest at Boston College. I'm predicting over 150 total points, and an NCAA record 11 overtimes.
3:30 PM - #16 Miami at Arkansas State. Cancelled due to Irma. The Hurricanes won't play a game due to the presence of a hurricane. I'm sure that joke has never been made before, please enjoy it. Miami will play an 11 game regular season this year, opting not to reschedule with Arkansas State, which just so happens to be the same number of games they played in the regular season the last time they were #1 in the AP poll. Mark Richt is really bringing back the glory days, and let me tell you, that guy has serious attention to detail.
3:30 PM - #23 TCU at Arkansas. The team that showed you Jackson State is no good at football takes on the team that showed you Florida A&M is no good at football. Arkansas won this game 41-38 last year in 2OT in a back and forth thriller to upset the then number 15 Horned Frogs. We could expect similarly interesting things out of this year's game, which will probably be just emerging from half time when everyone finally makes it out of BDS and to wherever they are going to watch the real games later tonight. This is really your best shot at anything entertaining in this time slot.
3:30 PM - Indiana at Virginia. All-pro 1st round draft pick quarterback Richard Lagow brings the "throw it to Cobbs" offense down to Charlottesville, where surely ESPN will avoid talking about things unrelated to either team. Indiana looked utterly dominant in a first half performance against THE Ohio State University, then was crushed like a pathetic bug as the laws of space time and normal reality reasserted themselves. If the Indiana Hoosiers can generate the same rift in the fabric of our world this week, Virginia may not be powerful enough to close it. And it is written that the team which scored exactly 7 points every 15 minutes against William and Mary will serve as the hosts of a horrible invasion from beyond our plane, and Indiana shall write its forbidden history on the DVRs of all men, and usher in the era of madness. Also known as every single day in the ACC Coastal.
3:30 PM - San José State at Texas. It could happen.
And then, the calm...
7:00 PM - #13 Auburn at #3 Clemson.
7:30 PM - #5 Oklahoma at #2 Ohio State.
7:30 PM - #15 Georgia at #24 Notre Dame.
8:30 PM - #14 Stanford at #6 USC.
What's that? South Carolina and Mizzou have combined for 74 points in the first quarter? I can't hear you over the roar of 400,000 fans on my 4 TVs. Louisiana Monroe has sacked FSU's quarterback 6 times? Please hold on, I'm building a sandbag barrier to keep the dwag tears from ruining my carpet. Georgia Southern is down 7 to New Hampshire with 3 minutes on the clock?
I'm going to go board up my windows and buy some more canned food. Stay safe everyone.
