Forget the chatter about college football business and focus on the games

Now comes the part when the outrageous zaniness of college football games — you know, sports — tries to outpace the droning chatter about mergers and acquisitions and realignment and business, business, business — you know, tedium. How did Saturday do?

Oh, Saturday did try.

In daytime, it had its simultaneous wonders in Iowa City and gorgeous Boone, N.C., on a planet where few sports can boast simultaneous wonders in Iowa City and gorgeous Boone. It had Iowa nudging past a gutty band of Jackrabbits visiting from South Dakota State in that crazy-rare 7-3 finish derived from a 3-3 tie. It had North Carolina playing a storied bunch of Mountaineers at Appalachian State to that crazy-rare 40-22 score, with the 40-22 meaning only the fourth quarter.
