2023 Week 3 Game Recap (fanaticus.social)
submitted 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) by [email protected] to c/[email protected]
 

To make it easier to keep up with each week's games, I want to try and post a weekly recap thread on Sundays. My main goal for this was to help those who may not have watched every game (looking at myself here) to make sure they fill out the weekly /c/CFB poll with accurate game results. I will highlight ranked teams who lost their games to make it easier to see at a glance before filling out the poll. FCS opponents will be italicized.

This week we had three ranked teams drop their games: ^11^Tennessee, ^16^Kansas State, and ^24^Arkansas. All of these teams were favored but couldn't manage to win in the end. We had several ranked teams surprisingly struggle at some point during their games this week, including all of the Top 4 teams, ^10^Alabama, and ^21^Colorado.

Please let me know what other info you might want to see or if you think that this weekly thread will not be helpful.

I’d suggest also adding a quick recap for ranked vs. ranked games, as well

This is a good idea. @[email protected] is great at game recaps, I’ll see if he can help out with these.

Glad to know I'm not crazy at least. Thanks for the feedback!

I was thinking of even boiling it down to game-by-game blurbs for those, just because of the implications.

Sounds like a fun thing to do on Sundays -- I can take a stab at it next week. I'm writing up a quick recap of the Big XII which I'll post as a comment here in just a bit.

The thing that takes time with writing up recaps is that before conference play there are more games to sift through as each school tries to pad their schedule with easy wins. Fortunately, that ends this week! Really looking forward to Ole Miss @ Bama and tOSU @ Notre Dame (even though I'll probably mostly be watching the Roadrunners and Longhorns, respectively).
