NCAA FOOTBALL 2024 MEGA THREAD - WELCOME TO THE PLAYOFF ERA

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!

This Vanderbilt offense is fun to watch. Just wanted to say that for once.

They really are swapping their better linemen to the side they're running at, too.


by razorbacker k

Clemson defense looks legit

Somehow Iowa has gotten even worse on offense.

I'm amused the total got up to 50


diego pavia

man, this little ****er can really ball


frustrating game so far

turnover on a fumbled snap, another big loss on a fumbled snap, inches short on 4th down in the PSU redzone, a half an inch away from not being down on that fumble recovery


Maybe some day I'll figure out wtf "pass interference" is...


lol kent state has 48 total yards and 14 points


finally, a ****ing break

let's make it count


Easily the best half of Vanderbilt football since that 63-10 Hawaii game (which probably shouldn't count) and possibly 2019 vs Mizzu.


Feel like this Georgia/Clemson game should be playing overseas somewhere so we can show the blokes over there what 2 of the best college teams look like up close and in person.

What a boring ass game.


Am I hallucinating or is there now a 2 minute warning in these games????

Yep, new rule.

They don't stop the clock on 1st downs anymore except in the last 2 minutes of each half and added a 2 minute warning.

Ah, ok. I was gonna say these games already take forever....didn't know about the new not stopping clock after 1st down thing.

And what a push off by Penn St WR


Bombs away PSU.


jesus christ


Man Hudson Card is 19/20 for 200+ yards. All of Purdues WRs are 6'3+ and pass the grown man eye test and the defense is fast as hell flying around. Starting to get excited about Purdue. Even against inferior comp, they definitely look way better than MSU, Minnesota, or Wisconsin looked.

Apparently the NFL has some sort of copyright on that term though so they call it "2 minute timeout".

They also now have helmet comms like NFL and tablets with video on the sidelines.


2 point try attempt brought to you by Dos Equis????


by Holliday k

They also now have helmet comms like NFL

This I actually knew only because I watched Netflix show about Michigan yesterday

The clock thing was last year, the 2 min whatever is this year. College football slowly admits they are a reality tv program.

Is WVU-PSU delayed? My area is showing UCONN.

I actually miss when Clemson was good.


Dabo is washed. ****ing tool.


VT really rolling now

Thx.

And yes, that game delayed due to lightning.

MSU, Minnesota and Wisconsin weren't playing a team that went 1-10 in FCS last year


"Refusal to use the portal" is one thing, but maybe Dabo should "Stop insisting on a dip-**** offense"?
