This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Another weird thing is why these teams are playing at all by LuckyMcD

When week 0 was brought back a few years ago it was only for teams who were either playing a game overseas or in Hawaii. They reinstituted week 0 to allow travel time or entice teams to play Hawaii (otherwise they would have to play 13 games in 13 weeks). As far as I can tell neither Miami or Florida, and none of the 4 FCS teams, meet the requirements. My guess is TV is continuing its takeover of the sport. ESPN and CBS want games this week, so now they have them. NCAA regulations be damned.
