With only a handful of weeks left in the season, the nation’s college football teams are making a last-ditch push for the attention of the College Football Playoff committee, or perhaps bowl eligibility. The competition is fierce. Let’s talk turkey.

Thursday

Pitt over North Carolina: I don’t know who at ESPN came up with the idea of Thursday Night College football, but... I support it? Particularly when good games are on.

Friday

Cincinatti over @ South Florida: I know after struggling against Tulsa, Cincinatti playoff supporters don’t have a ton of ammo, but it feels like Cincinatti’s quest for CFP berth is, at a bare minimum, as strong.
