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!

BUFFS

yes sir! sup?

my worried part is that one of the CFB morning "big shows" made a big deal about how the BUFFS hadn't give up a 100 yd rusher this season. no doubt that is jinxed now.

especially that they just gave up a running TD when it was 4th and goalish from the BUFFS 8 yd line.


I was just looking at NFL rules yesterday and there's a rule in there somewhere about fouling on purpose. I don't recall exactly how it was worded except for the surprising fact that the officials can *award a touchdown* if a team is fouling intentionally to prevent a score.


by smartDFS k

would that draw an unsportsmanlike? great strat if not

Vaguely recalling Buddy Ryan's playbook with the footnote; "they probably call unsportsmanlike conduct"


How do you run out time when you are in FG range with 40 seconds and a TO. You almost have to try lol

guess you need a nuclear option in case home team filibusters by inviting hundreds of fans onto the field to make it physically impossible for other team to score

Palpably unfair act?

Really? Would love to see the rulebook on that. Imagine it's never happened. Would it count for DST for fantasy? :p


Definitely one of those moments where the unpredictability of college > nfl

Nfl without question day runs 3 times, burns all of Oregon’s timeouts and kicks the FG

College you can never trust the kicker, keep passing and end up with the OPI that kills you

Love Saturdays

If you told me in a 1 point game tOSU would would have 3 timeouts and 1st and 10 at the 28 with 34 seconds left and the game would end on a botched qb draw that ran out the clock i woulda lol’d


RANK VANDERBILT YOU COWARDS

I think this is like, if a runner is gonna score a TD and somebody runs off the sideline and tackles them or something

Oh come on. There was plenty of time to leave while the refs were wasting time reviewing if the final play was an interception or a turnover on downs. Lord knows I would have left after that embarrassment.


It's nice to see life *****ing on Clay Helton though.


ugh, travis hunter to the locker room

guessing his next snap will be in the NFL next season...shedeur not far behind I expect
