Lots of big football stories this weekend. But don't let that bury the real headline.
Our Couch Potatoes π₯ tailgate was named "Tailgater of the Year" for Wake Forest Football this year. A real team effort.
#GoDeacs
Most voters have the Deacs between 8-12. Highest 6 (I see you, JJ - he's seen them all year). Worst voter from San Diego ... may not have seen the Deacs playing on Saturday mornings.
All AP voter ballots from 11/8/26, sorted by how much each ballot differs from the final AP Poll.
Check out our full analysis + various breakdowns here: ironfootball.app/ap-poll/votβ¦
THIS is why the Deacs (8-1) are still not in the top 10 (11 this week). They started preseason ranked 13 ... in the ACC.
The AP Preseason "Top 25" only has 1 undefeated team... Utah! π

John Brooks, who didn't see Ekitike's push on Romero as a foul, booked him for protesting, then booked him again and sent him off in a game where he didn't commit a single foul
Who was quick to send off Xavi Simons for the tackle on Van Dijk
Who didn't think Delap breaking Spence's jaw was a red
And who didn't think Palmer hitting Fernandes in the head was a red, or Rogers' ridiculous challange on Gallagher...
Will ref Spurs away to dirty Leeds this weekend
What could possibly go wrongπ
He was also the VAR who upheld the decision to rule out the Muani goal vs Arsenal for the "push" on Gabriel
Thanks @prorefofficial

Congratulations to our guy @ian_harkes on being selected for the Wake Forest Sports Hall of Fame! π©
The Golazo Show on @paramountplus is definitely the way to watch the Europa League if you don't have a rooting interest. 48 goals today? Yes, please.
He definitely got the TO before going out of bounds.
He also definitely walked before calling tine out.

The look of a #H3ISMAN contender π
Looks like a clean sweep this election!
Barring anything unexpected, I will complete this election cycle reporting 100% of political texts as spam.
Watching "Crystal Lake" on @peacock. Pretty good! Enjoying the backstory of Jason. A little disappointed tat the first Friday the 13th reference was my birthday ... but there was a 1 in 12 chance.
I would be a fire-able head coach for only $10 million. You can find me on LinkedIn, FSU.
Mike Norvell will be owed $50.3 million, which is subject to offset and mitigation. Per @aadelsonESPN, he just informed the team of his dismissal.
