TNIAAM bye week college football open thread

The Syracuse Orange football team can’t hurt you this Saturday, since they’re not playing (Bye Week Fightin’ Byes aside). But other teams are in action, so if you haven’t sworn off sports in general, you can watch them.

Below is a rundown of the top games — ACC and college football overall — of the day. Inevitably, a contest we don’t highlight here will wind up being better, however. Please consult our return policy.
