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!
Love the Home Depot hat trying to blend in with the UT orange.
what in the hell
Iowa State is down 5, has no timeouts
1:04 left, first down at the UCF 19 yard line and they SPIKE IT
like, you're not even in a hurry there! You're taking your time!
dear god
Should've stayed with Arch
Fanduel had an early +20.5 on Vandy hosting Texas next week that dropped to +19.5. In about 2 hours when they come out with the line, how much do they let you get down on a game?
He got that 1st down
right at the line to gain
Come on UGA fans, those bottles aren't gonna throw themselves
iowa state got dat moxie
Throw the ball downfield, you weakminded bums!
Seems close to go for it there. Obv a FD ends the game, but failure means they're on a short field needing 2 scores when punting means they have to go the length 2x
NT going for the last second win and cross the 100 pt mark...
How many picks could UGA realistically have today, 6?
LOL Ewers
Ewers -34 yards rushing
Iowa State
Indiana
Pittsburgh
BYU
Army
Navy
All unbeaten
hey UNLV finally gets to play on a Saturday!
not liking what I am seeing into the 3rd qtr so far tho...
Somehow didn't watch it, but 10 point dog Georgia Southern managed to beat James Madison by 14 despite losing the turnover battle 0-4.
That is pretty goddamned impressive.
oregon st. stinks...ffs UNLV plz do not blow the -6 pt. cover or the out right win at this point...
and I can't believe I'm watching this game on the CW????
edit: WINNER vs. spread and outright!
btw these announcers stink...thom brennaman lol

Can you explain what happened on the 2nd to last play where Oregon St. got an extra play. It seems the refs are arguing that Oregon St. snapped the ball too early before the ball was set, so they are rewarded by the game stopping so refs can huddle and they have time to draw up a play from the same spot? They dont lose any yardage or time for snapping the ball before it is set and even get a free untimed huddle?
Seems like an exploitable rule if this is how the rule actually works and the refs didn't just bungle something. If this is how the rules work, why wouldn't everyone do this?
--I had UNLV too, so I am happy with result, but that seemed a pretty easy PI on the last play of the game. But I have no idea how that play was even allowed to happen.
Shrug.
