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!
They are gonna put the ***** over the ponies

As has historically been the case, Penn State doesn't give a single **** about the rules.
What's with the Penn State linebacker puking pre-snap?
FYI; Louisiana QB down, QB down. On to the 3rd stringer...
jesus christ what a ridiculous roughing the passer call
basically a turnover
Oregano -3.5 free-est money ever?
Is this the Death Penalty version of SMU that’s playing today?
How does Will ****ing Levis have a national endorsement deal?
If Bama fans could press a button and give somebody a TD, who do they give it to? SMU, bc if SMU wins you're a lock? Or Clemson, hoping that it contributes to a Clemson blowout?
Oreganos gonna put up like 40 in the first half vs pedo state.
While focused on the main event (Sun Belt Championship Game brought to you by FREE MONEY), I'm also watching my first B1g game of the season.
Just gonna' come right out and ask; this "#3 Penn State" is because of a lucky 7 point loss to tOSU and little else, right?
Never a bigger loser/choke artist than James franklin. Just an incredible ability to be terrible in big games.
They should do an invitational tournament for non-playoff teams based entirely on quality of the uniform. Marshall and SMU both easily get into that one and are probably the favorites?
Oregon on pace for roughly 2,000 points

Honestly the whole Franklin tenure seems like beat every team you should but no one good.
That's pretty good for the playoff era
If Oregon ran the score up on Franklin since he likes to cover games against lesser teams on the last drive.... I wouldn't be opposed to that.

I'd rather they declare the CCGs "elimination" rounds than this absurd, "You can't punish a team for beings exposed as frauds by an actual good team." schtick.

Sounds like my strategy for Magic the Gathering.
At this instant it looks like the penalty for losing to UGA is that Texas gets a quite favorable home game against Clemson.
