CHANNEL 6 CIRCULAR: WHERE TO FIND US IN WEEK 8

Welcome to the Channel 6 Circular, our in-season replacement for TRL. For the 2026 college football season, this Friday newsletter will catch you up on whatever we've been writing this week, as well as let you know where else you can find our enormous heads and voices on the internet lately. You can find last week's circular here.

Good afternoon! How've you been? How's the family? Here's everything we wrote this week:

THING ONE: Never done the TW in quite this way before, but sometimes you need to throw out your proprietary college football ranking system (which is, in itself, an effort to throw out all the other proprietary college football ranking systems) and just take a romp through the haters' orange grove, squeezing at will.

THE 2026 TOP WHATEVER: WEEK SEVEN

Texas exists as a parody of a lottery winner: unimaginative in their tastes and underwhelmed with their results

THING TWO: We are 28-21 this season when making college football picks based entirely on astrological charts, and the stars are making some mighty big swings this week.

Here's where else you can find us this week:

🩸 We celebrated the first FBS Blood Week since 2024 on Saturday night's Fullcast After Dark (free to listen live; replays on Patreon for $4/month)

🧢 Wednesday's episode of the Shutdown Fullcast introduced Surber's terrifying new toy and previewed the World Series, sort of (all episodes free as always)

🎼 If you missed it last week, Spencer and Bo bowed to popular demand and did a second Stevie Wonder episode over on The Right Time; this one's dedicated solely to Songs in the Key of Life.

🔮 Did you know we're on Instagram? We promise you this: No other mostly college football-based newsletter will give you a "the Pitt Panthers, as an institution, are clearly Libras" grid post this week. You're welcome.

Those of you on our free email list are about to see a paywall jump; the back half of this newsletter contains the invitation link and details for Thing 3 of Week 8: WEBINAR, our weekly stakeholders-only Saturday morning pregame chat show.

If you'd like to join a paid tier of Ch6 membership (again, that’s two things a week for either $10 a month or $100 for a year), you can join us for these live hangouts all season long, as well as gain access to everything we put out on Channel 6 platforms PLUS the entire back catalog.

And if this is where we leave you for the week, thanks for reading. As is customary, we would like to present you with a nice picture of a bird as a parting gift:
