If one took a cursory glance at the college football schedule before the start of the season, one couldn’t help but notice that the Oct. 8 slate appeared quite enticing. It still is, but some of the games we had circled fall short of making our list of recommended viewing options.
That annual showdown in Dallas, which a writer from this publication who shall remain nameless pegged as the possible game of the year, might still indeed be exciting and fun but is now largely irrelevant in the big championship picture. Likewise, the highly anticipated Alabama-Texas A&M showdown fueled by the coaches exchanging verbal barbs in the offseason has lost some luster as the Aggies limp into Tuscaloosa with two losses and an underperforming offense.
As always, this is not to say that these contests and others won’t have the capacity to surprise and entertain, so keep that remote handy. But we think these six matchups have better potential as you plan your Saturday.
