Sorry, tonight turned into gethomemakedinnersetoutcandygetkidtobedopenwine.

Here, as a DWT;WT apology, some pumpkins:

The College Football Playoff came out tonight, and per Corporate Dictat, I am legally obligated to post a well-crafted, well-SEO’d article telling you exactly what those rankings are. Imagine how confused ALL those first-time clickers are going to be when they see a picture of some dude’s pumpkins.

That wasn’t a euphemism.

I don’t think.

Tonight also, more importantly, begins MACtion.

Tuesday Evening

Don't Watch This

Northern Illinois Huskies (-6, O/U 46.5) at Central Michigan Chippewas [6pm, ESPNU]

Watch That

Buffalo Bulls at Toledo Rockets

6:30pm | ESPN2 | Toledo -15 | O/U 49.5

Google has rebranded some really stupid and basic shit—the Weather app on my phone, the slider between two tabs that are touching on my Chromebook...lots of weird rounded edges and I DON’T LIKE IT.

CMU-NIU is technically supposed to be the closer of these two games, but I have seen both play this year and buddy...find something else to do. At least there should be points in Buffalo-Toledo. The Bulls are 3-5 (3-1 MAC), and I respect someone trying to go Full Northwestern on the bit.

Wednesday Evening

Don't Watch This

Ball State Cardinals at Bowling Green Falcons (-5.5, O/U 40) [6pm, ESPN2]

Watch That

Kent State Golden Flashes at Akron Zips

6:30pm | ESPNU | Akron -4 | O/U 38

WAGON WHEEL TIME:

These two teams are bad to begin with, and an O/U of 38 in MACtion means each team is going to score over 38 in a classically stupid affair OR it’s going to 10-7 in a snowy slopfest.

Frankly, I don’t care which.
