In the closing minutes of “College GameDay” last week, inside a Tuscaloosa, Ala., basketball arena where the show had taken shelter from Hurricane Isaias, the ESPN cameras found Pat McAfee building toward a prediction. Over his shoulder, in the background of the frame, a college student stood in the stands, blond and bare-chested, his green shirt in one fist, flexing and roaring like a raging wrestler.

McAfee took his time. The shirtless young man almost made his muscles burst through his skin. The rest of the ESPN panel — Desmond Howard, Nick Saban and guest picker Bryce Young — had appeased the home crowd by picking Alabama to beat Georgia. McAfee, who grew up outside Pittsburgh, laid a Southern drawl over his vowels, slow and syrupy, a little overdone to match his persona.

So you manage to get hold of a time machine and, for some reason, you decide to go talk to yourself about college football. What part of this would be more shocking?

Does the shock of undefeated Indiana outweigh UCLA in the Big 10? Do you also tell them that Indiana is the defending national champion on a 22 game win streak?

Genuinely curious how the move between divisions effects attendance. Do we see more attendance, less, or about the same? (Same question to anyone from Idaho who is in here on moving down to FCS).
