November is a bittersweet month in sports. On one end, the playoff races are in full throttle and there are very few things that beat rivalry week in college football. But this is also the last month of the college football regular season. Imagining a world without 12-hour days on your couch—starting with Big Ten slugfests and ending with the weird theatrics of the Pac-12—is depressing.
So cherish the final few weeks where you can bet on Alabama in the first half or Tom Herman as an underdog (but not as a favorite!). You don’t know what you have until it’s gone.
