Seems like the season just started and it is coming to a close. Two more full weekends of games on the schedule.
The college schedule is full of tradition and that last week has a bunch of big traditional rivalries.
This week has tradition as well, the tradition of a bunch of SEC schools padding their schedules with paid patsies that ride buses to their games.
The weekday games include a bunch of MAC teams playing for their spots in Who Cares and Empty Seats Bowls.
Tuesday Ohio (7-3) is at Ball State (5-5) and Bowling Green (5-5) is at Toledo (7-3). The five win teams need one more for bowl eligibility.
Wednesday Eastern Michigan (6-4) is at Kent State (4-6.) The other games are teams with losing records. Anyone watching either has a connection to the schools or has nothing else to do including clipping their nails or organizing their sock drawer.
Thursday is a bit more interesting, giving us SMU (6-4) hoping to knock off a ranked (21) Tulane (8-2.)
No PAC game on Friday. Instead we get a mistake and a mismatch.
South (Suck) Florida (1-9) will provide Tulsa (Turdsa) (3-7) a chance to look slightly more respectable.
New Mexico (2-8) is far from respectable hosting San Diego State (6-4) who should get an easy win.
Saturday has some solid games but many of those in the south aren’t included in that.
Will (8) Alabama even break a sweat against the mighty Governors of Austin Peay (7-3 at FCS.) Cheer them on “Let’s go Peay.”
Not to be topped in the soft scheduling department (6) LSU brings in UAB (5-5,) and (20) Florida State gets Lousy Ana (5-5) sometimes known as Louisiana.
There are some actual, close to top 25 matches this week. Illinois (7-3) which just dropped out of the top 25 probably won’t be back in after playing at (3) Michigan (10-0.) Likewise Kentucky (6-4) which just dropped out has the honor of hosting (1) Georgia.
The only actual top 25 matchups are in the PAC which has a bunch of ranked teams but every year gets enough rank performances to stay out of the playoff.
(7) USC (9-1) goes cross town to (16) UCLA (8-2) which choked against Arizona last week. Don’t think after this one that any opposing fans will be crying about running up the score.
(10) Utah is at (12) Oregon. Oregon is another team that choked away a win last week, granted against a better opponent thus costing themselves a shot at the playoff. Both teams are 8-2.
Wisconsin has struggled to a 5-5 record this year but everyone gets well against Nebraska (3-7) and they can earn bowl eligibility with a win in the land of meth and single wide trailers and double wide women..
It’s always fun to see **** Bailor (6-4) lose as they should this weekend with (4) TCU (10-0) coming in working to keep their playoff chances alive.
Closer to home Wyoming (7-3) can grab the lead in the MWC Mountain Division by beating Boise (7-3) in Laramie this weekend. Forecast is for a sunny 29 degrees and being Laramie breezy.
Slightly warmer weather will greet CSU (2-8) when they play at Air Force (7-3.) The sheep by this point are probably just hoping for this season to end.
Northern Colorado has a chance to end their season on a high point. After winning last week they are 3-7 going into their season ending game at Eastern Washington (2-8) which is beatable even by a team as bad as the Bears.
The regular season is over for local small colleges so no more updates about South Dakota schools or Fort Losing State.
Mines earned a #2 seed in the regional playoffs. As a prize they get to host CSU -Pueblo who won seven games in a row to earn an at-large bid. Winner gets the winner of the Wayne State - Minnesota State game. If Mines wins they will again host.

Did Karl find another gig as SMU advisor?
