Happy Friday, folks.
Man, this week has been crawling. I am so ready to head up to Michie Stadium and...
“The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina” takes the teenage witch into a darker and spookier realm, so much so that the real-life Satanic Temple is threatening a lawsuit over claims that the show infringed on its “intellectual property.” A statue in the show’s Academy of Unseen Arts resembles the temple’s copyrighted design for a statue of Baphomet, a horned pagan deity.
So yeah. This isn’t surprising at all. The girls and I started watching the show, and we all liked it quite a bit, but it is absolutely, terrifying satanic in its portrayal of witches. Seriously. This show is a hundred-thousand times darker and more satanic than we expected. At least through the first two episodes, it’s legit horror wrapped in a bubble gum wrapper.
Gonna absolutely finish the first season as soon as Sally and I finish The Haunting of Hill House. Hill House, by the way, is not at all satanic. But it is spooky, sadly tragic, and amazingly well done.
2. Only 12 schools still have a legit shot to make the College Football Playoff (Business Insider)
Record (AP rank): 7-0 (9)
Last week's result: Did not play
Last week's playoff rank: 11
Key games remaining: Temple, Navy, and Cincinnati at home, followed by USF on the road in late November.
One thing to know: As long as Notre Dame is in the mix, it nearly eliminates any good shot UCF has to sneak into the playoff party. If the Irish are in, at least two of the Power 5 conference champs are going to be knocked out. It is hard to imagine the committee taking UCF and knocking out a third conference champ.
This exactly. No one in the FBS Power 5 wants to see a G5 school crash the party, and there are entirely too many ways to justify keep the Knights out. SEC schools are never gonna schedule UCF during the regular season, and they’re never gonna let UCF get a legit shot while Central Florida is part of the AAC.
One wonders if there is a big enough bribe big UCF could pay to the Powers That Be to relegate a school like Wake Forest from the ACC and thereby open a spot. If I’m UCF’s Athletic Director, I’m working on that full time.
Bottom line, what’s it gonna cost?
3. The Big One: Why Week 10 Will Tell Us a Lot About the 2018 College Football Playoff (Sports Illustrated)
These teams are ranked inside the top five, sit one game apart in the SEC West and hate each other, so this matchup really didn’t need any additional hype. A win for Alabama would all but clinch the Crimson Tide’s spot in the SEC Championship game. If LSU can pull off the upset—the Tigers are a staggering 14.5-point underdog despite being the No. 4 team in the country and playing at home—it would put Alabama’s West hopes in peril with just three games remaining.

4. Jerry Palm's Playoff Projection (CBS Sports)
Belk Bowl - Dec. 29 - Charlotte, N.C. - ACC vs. SEC - Virginia Tech vs. Army
There are a lot of bowl projections out there. Most have Army going to the Armed Forces Bowl, and something like half have Army facing a team out of the ACC. This one is interesting because it’s different and because a potential match-up with Virginia Tech would be awesome.
5. Army Sports Update
College roundup: No. 6 Army downs No. 3 Navy in quarterfinal (Capital Gazette)
Erynn Johns scored in the 102nd minute to give No. 6 Army a 1-0 overtime victory over No. 3 Navy in their Patriot League Quarterfinal on Tuesday night at the Glenn Warner Soccer Facility.
