3. The Most Overrated Thing Was …
All of the canceled and postponed games.
No, there’s no being flippant in any way about this – there’s absolutely nothing overrated about the coronavirus and the nightmare we’re all going through.

As last week went on, and with game after game after game being canceled or postponed, it seemed like the end of the college football season was right around the corner.
But it didn’t happen, at least not yet.
15 games weren’t able to be played, the SEC was hammered particularly hard, and five ranked teams weren’t able to go, and …

The Aggies need every win they can get – even if the Vols are struggling – and they need every style point as they push to finish with just one loss coming to Alabama on the road.
