NCAA FOOTBALL 2024 MEGA THREAD - WELCOME TO THE PLAYOFF ERA

Public service quote:

Regularly scheduled quote:

My SIL is a Rutgers alum and is convinced “they actually can do well this year” is just me trying to go all Lucy-with-the-football on her again. I’m like, “but seriously, you don’t even play Iowa who can inexplicably score against you!”

I suspect there’s some marketing intern in the b1g office who asked if not getting their asses handed to them 3x per year like clockwork by the same teams (4 in Iowa years) might possibly help build up a little viewership in the NY metropolitan area, but that’s just a theory. It could have been some other type of employee.

What are we betting on tonight? I think I am going Arkansas 1H over 28.5. Don't like that .5 but UAPB is awful. It was 45-0 at half last time they played.

Give me a reason to bet on the UNC game or anything else tonight.

You know I'm hungry when I'm researching Nicholls St (19 returning starters!)

Tonight should be fun

main sweat for me is UNC playoff futures, kept piling on there.

We have lots of future lines on them (-1.5 @ Minnesota, -3.5 @ Duke, +3.5 or +4 vs NC State) so we can triangulate their rating pretty accurately as at worst +6.9

With their soft schedule, 40-1 to playoff is just insane value

I wonder if they will leave the lines up during the game... if they look like they are obviously going to beat Minnesota, winning that coin flip game (plus improving their rating) will make it an insane live bet

Because the Gamecocks vs the Chanticleers is practically a cock fight.

Last year RichRod’s staff outcoached just about everyone they played but had much worse players. This year they have *slightly* better players.

Just kept it simple and went with the home team p5 dog tonight in Minnesota ML.

Watching Rutgers football on Thursday evening in August is like skipping all the gateway drugs and going directly to shooting heroin.

If you took Iowa football, kept all the bad parts and got rid of the good parts, that's what Rutgers feels like.

interesting cutoff for the stat 'cause adding backwards 30 wins lands somewhere in the middle of the 2017 season
they probably stopped counting after an efficent seminal win against duke the weak before a cardinal loss to lovevil

not to be selfish or infintile
but seems dumb those years don't wind all the way back to the beginning of 2015
same time is when some oversized crab legs go missing and a jumbo fisherman humping free willy goes publix

pretty apparent taggart got harpooned after the tail end of jimbo's circus career

2015 Jimbo 6-2
2016 Jimbo 5-3
2017 Jimbo 3-5
2018 Taggart 3-5
2019 Taggart 6-7
2020 Norvell 2-6
2021 Norvell 4-4
2022 Norvell 5-3
2023 Norvell 8-0
2024 Norvell 0-1

Western Carolina up early on NC State

lol these guys were 1-10 last year in FCS? wow

Is the ACC ok?

lol ACC is such trash

we are gonna fit right in with these jokers

You coming to auburn for the cal game?

Def time to load up on Cal to the playoff

Colorado - NDSU delivering

NC State running the double reverse flea flicker for a TD versus Western Carolina lol embarrassing

Alas, no. Have a wedding. Haven't been to a football game in years anyway, I actually prefer watching them on TV anyway which I know is crazy

another season of the BUFFS not being able to cover anyone. so much for addressing that problem in the offseason. It's ridiculous how terrible their secondary is. you'd think a HC who was one of the best defensive cover backs of all time could do better.

anyways, fortunately, I don't have to endure much more of this tonight. Off to deal with family stuff the next few days. No CFB for me 😡 enjoy the games u filthy animals

Lolorado is going to get blown out multiple times this year. That defense is awful again.

Coastal +3.5 lookin good

rough start for the fightin' richrods

Hunter getting burned by junior college WRs lmao

leggo GOATphers

run defense has looked great, but pass defense is getting absolutely shredded
