Observations:
1.)  No games of note on Halloween?  October 31 (week 9) is the only week of the regular season where we didn't target a game.  (We didn't target any on December 5, but most of the games that day are championship games.)
2.)  Watch out for week 3.  September 19 looks like a prime day to plant on the couch from noon to midnight (and beyond).  There are as many targets games on that day alone as there are during the entire opening week.  We already knew it was a big day with several B1G/ACC games.  I guess we hit a sweet spot of where non-conference and conference games start to overlap.  As I said several times, Power 5 non-conference matchups were easiest to catch our eyes, especially for some of the lower level teams.
3.)  All of this is biased.  We're two fans first of Virginia Tech, then the ACC, and finally college football.  And really, this list means nothing in the grand scheme of things other than a list of games that look interesting on paper in August.
