To watch, discounting UW obviously. My tastes slant toward offensive extremity and talent.

Triple Division: In order
Navy
Ga. Tech
Air Force
Army (usually the worst and the offense is most stripped down)

AAC
USF - Loved the Taggart offense
Houston - Year-in, year out, interesting offense
Memphis - Does some cool stuff

Tulsa/Temple/Cincinnati are on the border - Cincy usually does some cool offense, Temple defense is steady, Tulsa is just pace, pace, pace

ACC
Pitt - That power run game
Clemson - Like the O scheme
FSU - Jimbo mixes stuff well and the D is uaully good for two studly players
NC State (still have some Canada stuff), Cuse (the sight of a talentless Babers team is always weird), Va. Tech (always hardnosed) even a little Wake (I like what Clawson does) can beat out some games for my attention.
I wish Miami was there, but not quite yet

Big 12
K-State because they're weird
Oklahoma is usually good because of talent and stakes
WVU/TCU/OK state can have fun enough offenses, but it's not appointment. I'm interested to see where new Baylor can fall

B1G
OSU - Urban offense is good, plus rooting for the upset
IU - Always gets a check-in because Team Chaos
Michigan can be fun, but only when getting tested. I need a little more from PSU. The rest are grab bag depending on matchup/score. The legacy of Big Ten noon game might be strong with me


CUSA
I like the shootout trio of WKU/La Tech/MTSU

Ind.
BYU often grabs attention late
ND is kinda unwatchable at points. Kelly's O lost its luster.

MAC
I kinda chase the hot teams. Toledo is usually good, and when NIU is good, I go for them also

MWC
SD State - Only I form mid-major.
NMSU - Offense is weird, not sure why I didn't put them in the top group
Wyoming - Cool story last year
(Boise is fine but usually a quick check in unless they're playing someone else I care for)

Pac
WSU - Usually quirky
Cal - Grew up a fan
Oregon - Like the offense and had friends who care
Utah - Hardnosed as hell
Oregon State and Stanford sneak onto the dial late at night

SEC
Arkansas - All O, little D
Auburn - The Gus O still draws some attention, plus a decent level of talent
Miss State - QB power run forever
Ole Miss was usually good for something weird
(I don't watch em, but Kentucky is sneaky. I guess I flip to the big ones in big matchups, LSU has potential this year)

Sun Belt
Ga. Southern (When the O is going)
App State (always weird O, sneaky good D of late)
Troy - Their current coach build a fun team, and they're often weird
(Ark state is enough to pull me in with an OK matchup on a Thursday)

I named a ton of teams, but guess what, I like watching this sport.

Like you some mid week football do ya? And the no Saturday football in November seems pretty special too.

MAC ANNOUNCES 2017 FOOTBALL SCHEDULE
I think that's just their national tv schedule.  I believe the rest of the games are Saturday, but ESPN isn't picking those up.

Have always enjoyed Blacksburg on Thursday nights.  When PSU plays there in a few years, I really hope that's when the game is.

Thursday night games usually are topical here as usually they don't involve B1G teams.  (I realize OSU-UI play the first THU.)


So most of us are watching games where the victor is of not particular relevance.

OSU and ND are the priorities.  After that I'll make a point to watch Michigan, then probably Penn State or MSU, whomever is better, then other B1G teams.  Out of the conference, I don't get too excited for any particular team.  Just flip to whatever is interesting.
