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!
Make that 53 points.
Yeh you gotta force him out after this game or have some sort of succession plan. What an embarrassment
It's sad.
Looks like James Madison and Clemson both have 400+ yards at half. That's a lot.
Nebraska's last 7 OTs
27 plays
-20 yards
4 INT
0 FD
0 points
How the **** is that even possible?
Cowbellol
UNC should just buy Garner Webb's entire D in the portal. They held James Madison to 13. Probably wouldn't cost much. If they don't maybe FSU can.
The players are probably only a small part of our problem.
Grab their defensive coaching staff too.
You can take Norvell if you want. Crazy how FSU was scared shitless he'd jump to Bama and now it looks like Bama dodged a massive bullet.
JMU sents its coach and its good players to IU so they can go 4-0 and score 50 pts/gm.
Meanwhile JMU scores 50 in a half on UNC
Sorry heels
I was sitting under a big longhorn skull at Longhorn Steakhouse a while ago, mulling the Longhorns. I've got Texas failing dramatically in the whole SEC move, with Sarkisian not making it. He got as close as he's going to get last year, goes the theory. Arch Manning is a big wrinkle in this prognostication. He can F things up. I kept wondering how he can sit for two years without starting especially given today's environment, but now he doesn't have to. Something makes me think he can win it ... win it all. Sometimes a player can trump the coach and title. Kind of like Vince and Mack, or Brady and Bellichick.
In hindsight, he should be embarrassed.
I don't think I've ever seen a delay of game between a touchback and the first offensive play of the game. Well done, Arky!
No 2 on arky might be dead
Arky receiver absolutely murdered. Looked quite clean though.
Clean hit
USC is not ready for Big Ten football. Seriously.
lol
