This is not an attractive slate of games. But that usually means chaos and destruction and lots of fun, right? Here is Saturday’s college football schedule, and try not to think about how the regular season is already at the halfway point.

Here’s what we’ll have our eyes on:
Noon ET: Definitely West Virginia-Texas Tech, because points on points on points on points. Kansas State-Oklahoma could be fun if EcoKat piles up some nonsense touchdowns to keep the game close. And of course it would be an absolute laugh riot if Iowa lost to Purdue.
3:30 p.m. ET: Since I don’t acknowledge Bama’s existence, I’ll have my eyes on Miami-UNC, Nebraska-Indiana, and Virginia Tech-Syracuse. I just have a hunch that’s going to be a fun, wheels-off game.
7:00 p.m. ET: USF-Connecticut on whatever TV or laptop I can get CBS Sports Network on. Toggline between Ohio State-Wisconsin, Tulsa-Houston, and Temple-C.Florida on the second screen.
10:30 p.m. ET: Josh Rosen-less UCLA on the Palouse? Or hopeless Colorado State on the blue turf? Or sleep? Might have to go with Door #3 here.
