When last we left this intrepid little column, the CCG was over and Bowl Games were nigh. What say we kick off a new season looking multi-dimensionally at last seasons’ foes, their final results and this season’s future.

Akron Zips (2017 Finish: 7-7)

Last Seen: Getting Mauled 50-3 by Florida Atlantic in the Boca Raton Bowl

Man, that field goal was a real disservice to Akron’s nickname.

Next Sighting Expected: Sat 8 p.m., @ Nebraska, on FOX

Fun fact: Terry Bowden is still Akron’s coach.
