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!
Didn't the Longhorns and Aggies play on Thanksgiving Day for years? Now that it is way bigger not happening. Bogus.
Yes, played on Thanksgiving for years. It was always a great excuse not to go spend time with family.
What do you call this Memphis Tulane rivalry? Battle of the vomit-soaked streets?
"We've got 2 rbs destroying them with almost all of our carries, now 1st and goal from the 3. What should we do?
Bring in the third stringer!
A and B are both 9-2
A is 6-2 vs top 60, B is 1-2
A has two top-40 wins, B has none
A has played 2 teams rated 80th or worse, B has played *7*
A is ranked 20 in S&P and 18 in Sagarin
B is ranked 27 in S&P and 22 in Sagarin
Guess which one the committee ranked higher??
lol committee
****ing clowns
which double-digit fav do you guys think has the biggest chance of losing outright this weekend?
whoa, the correct answer was on Thursday which I never even considered, doh! especially considering Tulane losing does have a tiny positive factor of importance to my CFB rooting interests. Well done!
✔️ Memphis over Tulane
OK State over Colorado
WVU over Texas Tech
KU over Baylor
Arizona over ASU
Houston over BYU
TCU over Cincinnati...
WVU over KSU/ISU winner
WVU —> Playoffs
a tip of the cap to Travis Hunter
your 2024 Heisman Trophy winner
52-0 lol
scoreboard watching tomorrow
the mullett coach for the Pokes is out of a job, right?
The fix is in. Miss st got jobbed
Miss st just yolo’d that drive. Way to go
i missed it
what position on defense does Jeanty play?
giving you a hard time Heels, i see you basically agree w my sentiments
i also agree, but in some ways carrying the ball 30 times a game is a different type of punishing
the db/wr combo is more akin to playing the other football, a lot more movement with much less contact
now a rb/lb playing with that many snaps would be phenominal, like high school all over again
yes!
I know Oklahoma St. has had a bad season but I really didn't expect THIS much of a beatdown.
c'mon Arizona / Kansas St. / Houston, two of you win tomorrow plz
Oklahoma State:
-beat Arkansas, a middle of the road SEC team that beat Tennessee
-beat South Dakota State, the defending FCS champions, currently best rated FCS team, and rated 34th on Sagarin
-beat Tulsa on the road 45-10
Then went 0-9 in the Big-12
B12 is ****ing tough
This Liberty Sam Houston game is one of the most excruciating things I've watched all year. I wish they could both lose.
