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!
Sigh. Almost Netflix time.
Penn State going to lose to Bowling Green today or what?
Petrino has Lamar 2.0
...bowling green???
It's not even like they got a random fumble ret for TD or something either
6 play 75 yard td drive
10 play 60 yard fg drive
10 play 73 yard td drive
wtf
Penn State can't stop them it's insane.
bowling green punting on fourth and inches from midfield, come on bros
Texas O line is pretty damn good
Bowling Green is just gnashing Penn States D
Michigan QB not being able to read cover 3 out of a 3-4 defense is...something.
Now Michigan playing red zone quarters is also...something.
Why are you not filling the box when they are in a full house backfield?
Ark 307 yards Ok St 60
I see Michigan's problem; they brought Clemson's game plan.
FYI Troy's QB, "Goose" Crowder, is out. Line is still under 24, up by 14 at the half and getting the ball to start...
That's definitely a fumble. Game is getting ugly
I guess I'm confused at their route concepts against UT's zone. You would think you'd see less crossers and more levels to try and force those interior guys to make decisions.
Kansas State in trouble at Tulane, Okie State in trouble vs Arkansas, Penn State in trouble vs Bowling Green.
Michigan might be lucky to win 6 games this year
We stink
It’s the price you pay for being a champion.
