Welcome back to VIBE CHECK, where we monitor and assess the weekly pulse of college football. Each week, we grade a handful of teams based on their on-field performance, off-field shenanigans (good and bad!), message board chatter, and more. This is very (read: not at all) scientific and should be taken very (read: not at all) seriously.
Sorry we missed you last week, but it seems that extra week gave ESPN time to correct its grievous missteps regarding College GameDay’s location selection. Somehow we are six weeks into the season, and things are becoming a little clearer (or perhaps not clear at all) when it comes to figuring out who is good, who is bad and who is just kind of somewhere in the middle.
Let’s get to the vibes.
