MURFREESBORO, Tenn. — Every so often, I'm reminded that to a lot of folks who don't particularly engage with college athletics, every game that's played can look pretty much the same from the outside perspective, give or take switching out a few colors for the teams that are playing each week.
Sure, it's easy to tell when a school might have more students than another, due to the size of their stadium, or even what part of the country they're from, given what folks might be wearing in the crowd or just the weather outside at that time of year.
