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!
Miami just continuing the FSU tradition of a season held together by scotch tape only to get blown out in the playoffs.
If Cam Ward wins the Heisman over Travis Hunter or Ashton Jeanty I am going to be livid
GoldenBears, your guys have played too well to lose this. Absolute BS officiating down the stretch. So I will say what you want to but are too classy to say:
I hope Miami's plane crashes on their way back to Florida.
Watching Cal and UAZ choke at the same time. The TV's were opposite ends of the bar. Tomorrow, whiplash.
Unusual for Crystalball to kneel here, they usually run the ball until the end.
and just like that, a whole new generation learns what it means to be a cal fan
no success of any kind whatsoever, at any point ever.
65 consecutive years of pure misery.
send your kids to vanderbilt
Wow this Vandy coach's voice sound exactly like Nick Saban. Totally eerie.

You'll always have that magical 2003 win over USC + "The Play" vs Stanford. AFAIK that's about it.
Great day of college football
Went to bed at 35-10
What the hell happened?
Is dumping it in the river supposed to be how tearing down the goalposts ends? Respect to vandy’s commitment and total disrespect to everyone else’s total lack of follow through
You tear down the goalposts then dump them in the lake/river nearby right? Isn't that the thing?
Dumping **** into public waters is gonna be a big no from me, dawg.
"Discharge" means any substance disposed, deposited, spilled, poured, injected, seeped, dumped, leaked, or placed by any means, intentionally or unintentionally, into community waters, the waters of the state, or any area draining directly or indirectly into the municipal stormwater system of the metropolitan government.
They need to invent a more environmentally friendly goal post
Dumping **** into public waters is gonna be a big no from me, dawg.
Hear me out, goalposts made..... of avocado toast. WHO SAYS OTHERWISE?
Not to be a sore loser since I'm honestly happy for Vandy, But Connelly's postgame win expectancy for them was actually 1.8% which is now the lowest in 2 years (Congrats to Nebraska for relinquishing the crown):
56% success rate to your opponent's 43%, average 8.8 yards per play to their 5.6, gain 20-plus yards on 11% of your snaps (your opponent: 5%), score touchdowns on every red zone trip and still lose
Pretty insane until you factor WIM into the equation plus Vandy's success rate and YPP are actually pretty good anyway.
Feel so bad for Cal.
Such **** calls down the stretch. Two weeks in a row Miami is saved by the refs.
