Close followers of this often crazy sport we call college football might be tempted to peek at the events on the horizon rather than the ones right around the corner. Next week’s calendar, for example, might look more appealing than this Saturday’s slate. But if we’ve learned anything from so many years of observing this game, it’s that there’s no such thing as a calm before the storm. The proverbial tempest can happen any time.
