NCAA FOOTBALL 2024 MEGA THREAD - WELCOME TO THE PLAYOFF ERA
Just 8 days until Florida State plays Georgia Tech!
A lot happened while you were away:
Texas and Oklahoma joined the SEC
The Pac-12 went out in a blaze of glory:
Oregon, Washington, USC and UCLA are headed to the B1G
Utah, Arizona, Arizona State and Colorado are headed to the B12
Cal and Stanford along with SMU are somehow headed to the ACC
Poor old Wazzu and Oregon State are now aligned with the MWC in some sort of in-flux relationship
The conferences are huge now, and the schedules are wildly imbalanced. Florida might have the hardest schedule in the history of the sport, while Missouri's playing a sun-belt slate.
FSU and Clemson play each other, but then play ZERO common ACC opponents
Utah/Baylor and Arizona/Kansas State play non-conference games against conference opponents
LSU and USC play in Vegas!
Boise goes to Oregon, a team they've never lost to!
Texas at Michigan!
Alabama at Wisconsin!
Notre Dame at ATM!
Clemson vs Georgia!
And there are some incredibly juicy new conference matchups:
Texas @ ATM is back!
Texas vs Georgia
Oregon vs Ohio State
USC @ Michigan
USC vs Penn State
And then the bizarre:
UCLA @ Rutgers is now a conference game
Syracuse plays home and away against Cal and Stanford for some reason
Half the teams have new coaches, transferred quarterbacks, or both!
Let's get it on!
I'm not sure I understand the sequence of these playcalls.
eta: That certainly clears it up.
Why haven’t we had a first down marker cam my whole life?
Wow such discipline by uga lol. Like seriously?
Lol way to jump
Apparently Georgia did not watch the Illinois South Carolina game.
So breaking the huddle with 12 men is a penalty, but that ****ery is legal?
Shades of Elway in the first Den SB win with that RL running dive.
SEC coaches more overrated than SEC players.
Don’t want to jinx it but am so happy that ND’s run as “Jobber to the Stars.” might finally be over.
Looks like a real path to the CFB final also.
going to commercial the announcer suggested the score was a result of good coaching
9-70 penalty yards is not a likely indicator of that
and espn puts a sniper target squarely on the forehead of georgia bartman
Well I guess I gotta root for Texas now… For SEC pride, and to say we’re the only team that beat the champs, twice.
Tough to win any playoff game without your starting QB.
Stockton clearly has talent, I think we’ll (eventually) be just fine in a post-Carson Beck world
Thoughts on ND/Pedos opening line?
It be over
However much crow the SEC homers are eating, it's not enough
please after this year let's all agree to retire the visor as headware appropriate for any human to wear
So heartwarming to see Jesus Christ get a shout out.
And "trust in the Lord."
If they put BYU and ISU into the playoff instead of these SEC recruiting-ranking allstars maybe we would've had some more competitive games
