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 wish CFB was only FG kicking
good game so far glad to have cfb back
Guys I’m not sure fsu is gonna cover
GT deserves to lose this game after only rushing 3 on that 4th and 7 play.
We're quickly heading toward our first major KGK of the year.
Ga Tech is going to do this
FSU shitting the bed with these TOs
About had a lolgatech there
College football is BACK!
College football is BACK!#!@!@!@!
da Nloles
GA Tech top of the table
So happy right now
Thank god this is Week 0. These don't even count.
College hut hut is so entertaining
it seems the selection committee got it right last year after all
It's funny, if youre a playoff bubble team--like Michigan for example--random games like FSU vs GT are actually more important than say monster games like Ohio State vs Oregon because you want all the other bubble teams like FSU to lose as many games as possible. What happens in the OSU-Oregon game is irrelevant since both teams are already going to the playoffs. Gonna be fun watching college football through this new lense this year.
Also did any top ten team get upset by an unranked team last year? Felt like the worst year ever with those kinda upsets. Glad we're off to a great start.
PS: All Michigan fans think I'm crazy but I seriously believe Fresno State is a losable game for Michigan. Definitely would put $10k on Fresno +21.5 back in my heyday.
1. Georgia Tech
it's good to be back
Color me shocked by GT's defense; holding FSU's 2 starting RBs to 3.5 ypc for the game...even including that first drive cripes! Even 7-8 in the box didn't work last year.
Nothing like being wrong about pretty much everything in a game yet splitting anyway.
* 1st drive 3 runs for 46 yards, after that 17 carries for 24 yards. Zoiks!
Kinda looks like New Mexico is playing an FCS team out there.
if it's you fsu seminole fans seen stumbling the cobblestones of dublin
hope you found solace in the guinness pint knowing you just lost to a wasp slide rule
and the look fits you
man, SMU looks absolutely awful
Book your Cal bears playoff tickets at 90-1 today!
