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!
I am indifferent, but gun to my head; not a catch
Rules of football: Not a catch
Rules of common sense: Not a catch
Rule of Cool: Catch
I mean that is just so impossibly close. Seems like he has enough possession to say he goes to the ground with it before it gets ripped out
Holy hell, they got it right.
college football is so ****ing great
VT got robbed
I honestly think the refs got this one right so can't complain. Sigh
What a game lol. Even missed half of it!
Can we talk about how VT had to go with a hail mary from the 30?
I have a LOT on Miami to playoff, so I am obviously biased, but I think they got it right
I don't think it makes sense to anchor super hard to the on-field ruling when the guy who made the call on the field obviously had no idea what was going on and was just forced to make a random decision
washington settling for a 55 yd FG with a struggling kicker doesn't seem optimal
My boy Gross going 1 for 4 on FGs hurts
I don't like Miami obv, but I'd say there's pretty clearly almost no chance it's a catch. 75% of the players involved are laying OOB and if even one of them has at least a fingertip on the ball, then the play is dead there.
Play starts at 16:39 for best angle:
Can someone help me understand the BYU/Baylor line?
Just don't see any evidence through 4 games that these 2 teams should be rated equal on a neutral field
Could a FG kicker please report to Ross-Ade Stadium and help Purdue or Nebraska? Please and thank you.
Purdue have blocked 2 Nebraska FGs LOL
IU 14, MD 7 at half following 3 IU turnovers.
PUR 0, NEB 0 at half following 4 missed FGs
B1G so back baby
Kentucky's D-line pretty much embarrassing Ole Miss
Wow UK 160 yards in the first half and their first SEC touchdown 10 quarters in.
Purdue has made a FG to lead Nebraska 3-0. May truly be insurmountable
official just threw a crushing block for MD on a 60 yard td run lol
IU /MD
MD player catches a pass on 3rd and long and lands OOB but refs call it a catch because "half an ass=catch". MD scores a TD
After IU TD, MD gets a 70 yard TD after a key block by the umpire on IU's safety to spring the RB.
B1G basketball refs in shambles. There's a new GOAT in town
