On the broadcast of the Tennessee-Ohio State game, something ESPN’s Kirk Herbstreit said highlighted the chasm that sometimes exists between fans and the highest profile people who talk about the games.

Herbstreit discussed the “lunatic fringe” of the Ohio State fanbase and its desire to fire coach Ryan Day. He made it sound as if a fairly small minority of fans held that sentiment. Ari doesn’t think that’s true, and it got Andy thinking about all the examples of the times the people who bring us the games on TV didn’t quite understand the feelings of the common fan.

Plus, it’s the most wonderful time of the year! We’re going to have bowl games every day, and we’ll have a full weekend of college football on Friday and Saturday. NIL deals seem to have swung bowl opt-outs back in the other direction with seemingly more stars playing this year. So which games seem the most exciting?

Georgia Tech-Vanderbilt in the Birmingham Bowl
