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!
People disagreed with me but I think the powers that be massively overreact to small sample size outscomes
if Oregon, ASU and Boise won, I think the odds they change it from top-4 conf champs byes to top-4 seeds get byes swing massively. Maybe 30-40 percentage point swing on their decision based on the outcome of three games
I agree with pretty much anything containing "massively overreacts to small sample size".
Haven’t put the game on yet; watching NOLA updates.
So ****ing gross. I ran Boston the year of the bombing and this brings back a lot of the same emotions.
this CFP has been an abject failure
a total waste of my time
Think 12 teams is fine, but really is impressive how badly they butchered these matchups.
This format would have been perfect 5-10 years ago. The new super conferences really messed it up. If Texas was the Big-12 rep and Oregon was Pac-12, the seeds would have been fine.
Skattebo:
Timeout, sigh
Skattebo got Skattedrilled
ASU not ready for prime time
ASU is like the guy sticking his finger in a light socket thinking this time he won't get shocked
Arizona st better score next drive
points on the board
that guy was suspended for the first half...
outside of texas' first 2 play drive, asu is outgaining them 253-55
lol UT safety
Would have been so funny if Ewers threw a TD bomb on that play.
Reminder, this is why Simmons was out the first half, because the Iowa St. QB ducked at the last second:

“A barrier system designed to prevent vehicle attacks was undergoing repairs in preparation for the Super Bowl, which is being played in the city in February.”
Why did the NCAA pull a last minute switcheroo by moving the Sugar Bowl to New Orleans?
Skibidi!
The **** did that wr keep running as if Skat was blocking for him?
Was that...fusion from dragonball?
