Playoff season is finally here.
The regular season gave us plenty to argue about, and boy did we. We disagreed on rankings, who should be allowed to play, who should coach, and whether that win was as impressive as everybody said. Now we get to the part of the season where it all gets left on the field.
And while the biggest names will get plenty of attention, I love an underdog. Give me the team taking a long bus ride with a little confidence and a home crowd it would love to disappoint.
This week’s opening round has a few candidates. There’s a visiting team that already beat its opponent. Another whose .500 record deserves a second look. And a program returning to the playoffs after a wait that has lasted most of its players’ football lives.
Here are five games worth your attention Friday, Nov. 13, and what to watch once they kick off.
