Do you see the look on the face of Urban Meyer in the glorious header photo? That's how I wake up any day where travel through Indiana is on the itinerary.

What is Indiana, if not just a smaller, shittier version of the worst Ohio elements? It's a state as bland as an unfrosted Pop-Tart, where Hardees is considered fine dining.

I spent all week wringing my hands about the Chaos Team, but no more. This is a program with fans still crowing about almost beating Ohio State in 2015 behind the shaved legs of a former male model.

At least the Buckeyes aren't subjected to playing under the candle lights of Memorial Stadium, a stadium so generic it should just be called "Dilapidated Stadium." I assume the memorial is to all the Hoosiers fans who lived their entire lives without witnessing a national championship. A fitting tribute, indeed.

Today's slate isn't bad as it features four games between ranked teams and Michigan trying for its first win at Rutgers in program history.

The meltdowns of Penn State fans will be hilarious when Big Game James Franklin whiffs against Maryland.

If Bert dumps Bama, his transition from heel to baby face will be complete. I am 100% riding with the Hogs today on that swagwagon. Let's hope it doesn't end up at the bottom of some creek buried deep in the Ozarks.

I will also be sad if Washington can't get the duck off their back against Oregon. College football is better when Washington is out here balling.

 THE HOOSIER FILE. Here's everything you need to know about Indiana:

Be sure to follow @11W, @EricSeger33, and @TimShoemaker on Twitter for up-to-the-minute updates throughout the contest. And be sure to follow @Edge11W, who designed the bitchin' header photo.

 #PERTINENTWIRE. Kevin Wilson didn't even make it into the house!

SCORE PREDICTION: 59-3, local team.

 THOSE WMDs. Saint Will and the man who shot him... World's oldest man, after century wait, celebrates Bar Mitzvah at last... When disaster strikes, FEMA turns to Waffle House... Clown caught with concealed knife in Sheboygan... Michael Atiyah's imaginative state of mind.
