NCAA FOOTBALL 2024 MEGA THREAD - WELCOME TO THE PLAYOFF ERA

Texas just not used to playing in the snow.

It really is one of the worst calls in college football history. No question about that.

Good championship not sure who i want to win more whoever annoys more people.

His worst plays in the most critical spots?
???

Just saying.

Sawyer-Skatbro cage match would do big PPV numbers imo.

I will cheer hard for ND for the rest of my cotton pickin' life (when they're not playing Michigan) if they just win this game. Wake up the echoes one ****ing time plz god.

as much as I hate Day and have no confidence in this team, I think they crush ND

7 v 8, just like we expected.

I knew 12 was too many.

Eight is Enough

Whats the line? I had the hedge bought to +7.5, of course. The perfect play effed in the a$$.

Yeah, I think that’s right. 4 wasn’t enough, because there was still enough quality, on average, in 5-8. 12 is too much, especially because it forces teams from lesser conferences. But I’d rather have 12 than 4.

Occasionally, the 9th best team will also have a chance. But more likely than not, 9-12 will be drawing dead. And some years, that will even stretch into 8, 7, etc.

And the above is meant from the perspective of team ranks and not seeding.

8 seed vs 7 seed. Favorites have won every game. Maybe the committee was terrible?

That’s also possible, but Boise/ASU being 3/4 makes everything else look convoluted.

Technically the undergod won the ND-PSU game but I still think you're right in spirit. ND was the betting favorite for like 90% of the time the line was open.

Ryan Day is America's underdog!

Why play in the cold weather most of the season just to play 3 dome games in January

in the final

Well I'm pleased it's only 9.5 and under -400, thought it could be pushing 13. I picked a Notre Dame vs. Ohio State final with Irish winning a couple weeks ago, getting +750 on it. So I hedged tonight on Texas +7.5 and now on OSU -380. Same old same old ... the defensive scores at the end of the game are a one way street for this punter.

OSU -10 close to blowout projection. I don't understand it but some people with some good knowledge and $ believe strongly ND is going to get boat raced.

It reminds me of the 80s-90s SBs where the NFC team was always a huge favorite and generally covered.

For 58 minutes Texas played OSU close to even, first and goal at the 1. And Texas was +6.

Giants take Ewers in the first round, book it

Seems Irish need Big D somehow stop the huge play and turnover margin. To me it feels a bit like Penn State/Miami title game, where Nittany pulled it off way outgunned.

I have no problem how it turned out. The seedings were flawed, but each team in the CG had to to play an extra game, and faced at least 2 quality opponents. They did not get to the final on resume. Better for the national audience than OSU playing Penn State.
And, no SEC team is a bonus!!

I don't mind 12, as long as they ditch the byes for conference champs, and maybe just assure them a top 12 spot instead.

Also, do people think any conferences with ditch their Conference Championship Game right after this? If one conference does they probably all follow. Plus, it takes a game off the now heavy schedule. Hope it happens.

Super peak moments in the semis can be difficult next time out. Thinking of Suggs partying on the scorer's table after his half court shot. The Sawyer moment was like that in terms of incredible like scripted to perfection. Hard to regather after the ultimate orgasm. "You mean that didn't win it all?"

Two northern teams face off for a national championship two years in a row. Could've been three if Michigan didn't **** the bed in 22 and Ohio State didn't get massively unlucky. We are currently living through the halcyon days of college football.
