A College Football Cavalcade footballey opinion and, maybe, other stuff I didn’t feel like writing bigger blurbs for
What is the 2020 college football season teaching us? Pretty much everything the college football powers-that-be tell us is bullspit.
Oh, you can’t change the schedules, because they’re the schedules. Yeah, if BYU can truck up and go a few thousand miles on a Tuesday to get a game in, any matchup can be put together at any time.
Oh, you can’t change the bowl tie-ins, because they’re the bowl tie-ins, and they’re contracted out years in advance and … (tongue out) ppfffhtwetehehwttth.
Your 2020 Lockheed Martin Armed Forces Bowl just blew off its reasonably charming girlfriend after realizing the killer at the end of the bar didn’t have a date. Big 12 and Group of Five out, Pac-12 vs. SEC in.
You can cancel games, you can change dates, you can change the criteria for who gets into a conference championship, and you can move around games to play them wherever you need to.
Oh, by the way, everything about the College Football Playoff system can be changed, too.
The sure-thing, 100%, rock-solid lock, sell the house, sell the kids, no doubt about it picks of the century for this week
PICK SO FAR: 36-25 SU, 30-36 ATS
5-5 ATS last week – for this year, I’ll take the round-the-bag single. I still need to get closer to .500 overall, and I’m running out of time, so I’m going large again.
Fortunately, all these picks are correct.
– Wake Forest +1.5 over Louisville
– West Virginia +13.5 over Oklahoma (but OU to win, AND, wait, because this is going to crank up to at least 14.5, probably 15)
– Missouri +13.5 over Georgia (but UGA to win)
– Minnesota +10.5 over Nebraska (straight up … you heard me)
– USC -3 over UCL
– UNDER 44.5 on Wisconsin at Iowa
Bet on any of all these games at BetMGM. Please.
C.O.W. shameless gimmick item …
The daily Overrated/Underrated aspect of the world
Overrated: Having to relocate games to get them in, especially if it’s to the most fun city on the planet.
Due to COVID-19 restrictions in Santa Clara County, the Nevada-San José State game scheduled for Dec. 11 has been relocated to Sam Boyd Stadium in Las Vegas.
Kick off will remain at 7 p.m. PT and will be broadcast on @CBSSportsNet#MWFB | #SpartanUp | #BattleBorn pic.twitter.com/xGHwpD217e

Underrated: The concept of going to Las Vegas to avoid catching a communicable disease.
Sorry if this column sucked, it wasn’t my fault …
So the column could’ve punted and had roughly the same field position and a five-point lead, and the struggling long-snapper had to get it back there no matter what, and … (bleep) IT. A win is a win is a win is a …
Louisiana chose to take a safety while up by five in the final minutes.
And they still held on to win after App State missed the potential game-tying FG. pic.twitter.com/Qnh97asH7j
