Four college football Saturdays have come and gone already, and for most teams, that means one-third of the season is in the books. That might not seem like much at first blush, but we can learn a lot from one-third of a season.

After a third of a marathon, you've already realized it was a terrible idea to run a marathon. A third of the way through Alabama's 49-7 win over Southern Miss on Saturday, Tide students had figured out how to turn off location services on their cellphones.
