Well, friends, we survived Week 1 … unless you’re North Carolina, that is. And what a weekend it was. Florida State put a giant exclamation point on the scoreboard over Alabama. Boise seemingly collapsed under the weight of … USF? And we’re not entirely sure, but Tennessee and Syracuse may still be playing.

And despite all of that … and how really wrong we really were on a lot of things … Carla, Crappy, and AJ are all back for more.

After recapping last weekend and a couple of quick games just for funsies — Who is the best team in the G5 now? And, thanks to our friends at Shutdown Fullcast, which QB scenario are you? — AJ leads us through his #GroupOfFiveAfterDark report, the live version, which poses the wildest question of all: Why the heck are tickets for Lindenwood at App State so expensive? (And, a follow-up: Who the heck is Lindenwood?)

No. 11 Illinois at Duke (Noon ET, ESPN): Former Tulane QB Darian Mensah is a slinger for Duke. Is Annoying Bert back? We think he may be. Sigh.

Baylor at No. 17 SMU (Noon ET, The CW): Or, as AJ put it, which version of shiplap are you? Defense was not Baylor’s strong suit against Auburn in Week 1. The Show Ponies look to capitalize with a big win at home.

Iowa at No. 16 Iowa State (Big Nude, FOX): Yes, friends, it’s Cy-Hawk time. Iowa has a legit good QB this year in South Dakota State transfer Mark Gronowski, yet he netted fewer than 50 yards passing in Week 1. The Cyclones have looked good thus far. But strange things happen both in this game and in Ames. Hammer the under.

No. 20 Ole Miss at Kentucky (3:30 ET, ABC): 695 yards of offense. That’s what Ole Miss put up last week against Georgia State. Kentucky, meanwhile, was dead last in the SEC in offensive production and struggled against perennial MAC-contender Toledo.

South Florida at No. 13 Florida (4:15 ET, SECN): Is USF good? We may get a better sense of that in this game. The Gators need to be careful not to look ahead to their gauntlet of a schedule.

No. 12 Arizona State at Mississippi State (7:30 ET, ESPN2): One thing we know for sure: This game will be loud. (Clanga.) Oh, and we miss you Cam Skattebo.

No. 14 Michigan at No. 18 Oklahoma (7:30 ET, ABC): At least in Week 1, the John Mateer experiment is working for the Sooners. Michigan looks to have returned to a typical Wolverine-style offense. How does that play out under the lights in Norman?

Vanderbilt at Virginia Tech (7:30 ET, ACCN): This is a tough ask on the road for Diego and company, especially after the Hokies' valiant effort for three quarters against South Carolina. We’ll see if the Dores' magic can surpass the mystique of the Sandman.

Honorable mention nods go to:

• FIU at No. 2 Penn State (Noon ET, BTN): Nits again favored by more than 40: we’re watching for the band.

• Carnegie Mellon at Chicago (1 ET, YouTube): The Tartans kick off their DIII season in a new conference.

• Oklahoma State at No. 6 Oregon (3:30 ET, CBS): This one’s intriguing. Has Oklahoma State fixed its defense?

• Kansas at Missouri (3:30 ET, ESPN2): For the first time since 2011, the Border War is back!

• Grambling at No. 1 Ohio State (3:30 ET, BTN): Just because, well, you know.

• West Virginia at Ohio (4 ET, ESPNU): Crappy’s pulling for a big Bobcat win at home.

• MTSU at Wisconsin (4 ET, FS1): Those stinkin’ Badgers are favored by 28.5. Yikes, Middle.

With that … we hope that our prognostications this week are better than last weekend. Oh, and always blame the defensive back. Enjoy the football, friends. Cheers.
