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!
welp. onto KC HOU then
Lololol
MBN to get matched with teams who just lob the ball right into your hands at every opportunity
Holy ****. That is the third terrible throw by the SMU QB that has swung the game by 7 points.
Says here Penn State that you didn't win your conference or really any major game of note this year so we are going to make sure you have to beat might SMU at home and then Boise State on a neutral if you want to make the final four.
Lol SMU forever
Franklin is going to get absolutely roasted for correctly going for it there
Spoiler
Not every game goes into the thriller/drama/action genre, some are comedies!
Not a great look when the first 2 playoff games are total busts. Hoping OSU-UT redeems this…not much hope for UT/Clem either.
The empty seats are a sad sight as well.
SMU defense comes up with back to back sacks? better commit a personal foul
trying to set a record for absolutely catastrophic plays in one game
torched about 35 points of EV in seven plays, just astounding
17 first downs and 206 yards vs 13 first downs and 235 yards
must be a close game!
