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!
UNLV WRs can't catch deep balls hitting them square in both hands
Also can't tackle Jalon Daniels, ever.
I hate it when he hands off. Don't do it Jalon! You are untackleable!
Nice CHAIN, ***hole.
lolllllllllllllllll kansas
I cannot believe the last 40 seconds of the 1st half
wtf ku, HOW do give up a TD there?!?
that was absolutely ****ing incredible
Kansas 3rd and 11 on the UNLV 40, throws a pick, no big deal
but, the guy makes a great return, gets it to like the KU 32 with like 36 seconds left in the half, plenty of time and UNLV has 2 timeouts
UNLV runs on first down, gets 6 yards, well in FG range
and they just... sub like four guys and don't know what the play is and don't call a timeout? they run out the whole ****ing clock, unbelievable. Then they SNAP THE BALL WITH SIX SECONDS LEFT potentially killing their chances of kicking a field goal!
doesn't matter, touchdown
amazing
What's the beef with mild "bodyslams"?
I'm here for the Avery Johnson show.
Every time a field goal's missed an under gets its wings
lol at kansas for not running every play
incredible
Ridiculous of KU coach to not call TO and rip refs a new one for that stupid penalty
Did Andre Ware just say two KU cornerbacks were "long and strong" and just leave it there? I can only assume that means they are *not* down to get the friction on.
good grief kansas are absolutely their own enemy
unlv really live to steal this one
Why are the refs huddling with the UNLV players, regardless of wtf is going on?
touchdown UNLVeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
I don't get how it would seem ok to refs that you tell a team to defend 1st and goal from the 16, then tell them on 2nd down after a good play "nah, they just need to get to the 6".
stick to basketball
amirite?
UNLV 60-1 (caesars)
They play 3 winnable games against P4 teams - @ Houston, @ Kansas and v Syracuse. They get Boise State and Fresno State at home, and also play @ Oregon State.
That's six "solid" games, and by winning the conference they'd knock out Boise as the #1 mid major contender. Now all you need is for the AAC to cannibalize itself.
If they go 11-2 with wins over Boise, Syracuse, Fresno and Houston and loses to Boise (reg season) and Oregon State, that resume is better than 13-0 Liberty im
.
EMAW
UNLV > Big XII
Mertz starting.
Napier is just trying to get fired.
