2025 Week Eleven Prospect Watch
So much for mega conferences guaranteeing nothing but the most elite games all the time in the NFL junior league! All football is good football, but this weekend looks to be the worst for a draftnik since I started doing this earlier this year. And yes, that includes the consistent September weeks of non-stop non-conference play against mostly questionable opponents.
Even the top games of the weekend lack a certain amount of juice. There's a top 10 matchup between two traditional non-powers, and the general sentiment is that people are more upset they are not getting their quad box than this game, because two companies that last year posted net profits of $5 billion and $100 billion cannot quite agree on who gets to make more money off of the consumer. College Football is not about the best vs the best; it's about being weird and regional, and like nothing else in the American sporting experience. So let's get me off my soapbox and start lacing up for the best game this weekend, FSU @ Clemson.
