Here’s the sticky thread for this weekend’s matchups.
I still plan to make these manually this week. But next week I will be busy much of the weekend so we will either need to get our bot working or I’ll have to hand this off to someone else. So, if you have experience/are interested in helping with the bot, please reach out! You can join the Discord or message @Manibusan@fanaticus.social.
Again, I’m just opening game threads for matches that include a P5 team to avoid potentially empty threads. But please create your own game thread if there isn’t one!
I will update links here as game threads open.

I’ve been traveling the last two Saturdays (and next Saturday as well) but I’ll try to get back to posting some game threads next week. I appreciate you posting these during my absence! Hopefully someone else can step up as well or we can find the time to sort through the CFBD API and get the bots going.
