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

Somebody is embarrassing the SEC!
psst! Brian, I'd like a word.
No info on when a shortened game (UK v. Southern Miss) becomes official to NCAA or to sportsbooks? I'm thinking the 5 minute rule was the game must reach 5 minutes to go 4th quarter or is no action. Can't remember for sure.
According to chatgpt:
In NCAA football, a game is typically considered official if it reaches a certain point, even if it is shortened for some reason (e.g., weather). However, the specific point at which a game becomes official can vary slightly depending on the context:
NCAA Rules:
NCAA Completion Criteria: According to NCAA rules, a football game is considered official if at least three full quarters (i.e., 45 minutes of gameplay) have been completed. If a game is shortened due to weather or other circumstances after this point, the result at the time the game is stopped will generally stand.
Sportsbooks:
Sportsbooks Rules: The rules for sportsbooks may vary depending on the specific book. However, most sportsbooks align with the NCAA's criteria and will consider a game official and bets valid if at least 55 minutes of gameplay have been completed. If a game is stopped before this point, most sportsbooks will void bets (unless the outcome of a particular bet has already been determined, such as a first-half bet).
It's always important to check the specific sportsbook's rules, as they can differ slightly on how they handle shortened games.
Since this game didn't make it out of the 3rd, I'd say you're SOL.
other than LOL PRESEASON POLLZ is there any real reason not to rank USC and Miami in the top-5?
Maybe when USC beats someone with a pulse we can talk about it
Georgia dominated Clemson but the SEC looked pretty bad in the other big games with Notre Dame, Miami, and USC all beating them.

I'll never look at a Denny's quite the same again.
Pro tip: When traveling, always pick the motel that shares a parking lot with Dennys. That's how you know it's good!
Almost certainly could have just run the same damn play

TAM was the 9th highest ranked SEC team and lost a nailbiter to the no 7 team in the country - if you think that makes the SEC look bad then you mustve failed a lot of classes.
Fla had a 4.5 season W/L total lol.
I realize the standards are different for us but come on.
Our best teams are UGA, Texas, Alabama, Ole Miss and Tennessee though right? I realize the standard is different for us but come on. TAM played the no 7 team in America and is the 7th or 8th best team in our league at best, Fla has a 4.5 over/under win total,etc.
wait, what?
are you pledging allegiance to an entire conference by proxy?
Me too, there is a bunch of great games I’d like to watch during the day then cap it off with a night game of undefeated teams (potentially)
predictions are positive the coffee table remains slick and shiny
because arcdog makes a pledge and continues to wipe it down with furniture restorer
