How do you get to the playoffs without really trying? Lose one regular season game, and then sit at home and watch the conference championship game while resting your legs and preparing for whomever your ultimate opponent is in the playoff semifinals.

Ready for another crazy weekend of college football? We certainly are. With our picks record sitting at 35-15, we're pleased with the chaos we've managed to get right. The real wackiness begins next weekend. Between the rivalry games and conference championships, we are tentatively expecting over half of the current top ten to fall.

No, you can't blame our picks on pain meds. Last time we checked, caprice wasn't a viable diagnosis. All we know is this: in a season where nothing makes sense, after a while the only thing that does is chaos.

Delaying the decision to cancel the Florida-LSU game because of Hurricane Matthew put people and resources in harm's way. Epic fail, Gators.

The real Vols came out last Saturday with a come-from-behind second-half domination of the #1 ranked defense in the country that silenced UT critics all over.

We're 10-0 to this point. Going to be tough to see that "0" change, but it's inevitable. No one can pick perfectly all season, and that's a fact. Or is it?

First off, we unequivocally and categorically dislike the idea of two teams from not only the same conference but the same division within that conference getting into the playoffs. So sorry, Alabama-LSU, Florida State-Clemson, and Ohio State-Michigan proponents, but it's not going to happen. And if it does, our next column after the announcement of such a travesty will be vicious.

Are college football preseason polls accurate? There are so many places now giving their preseason picks, and they rarely agree on anything.

Does trash-talking before the game give you an advantage? Don't be too sure.
