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!
Who the hell is Marty Smith? He looks like a wino from the streets.
Haven't looked forward to a non-michigan game this much since Ohio State vs Miami national title game.
I expect Tennessee to bully this Big 12 team into submission. 24-17
So classic that the guy born on 3rd base gets run out of Columbus with a stadium overtaken by invaders. I just don't get the line on this game. Maybe I will in a little while.
booooooooooooom
straight from my gut, i believe the fighting bobby hills cover
even after that horrific start
Well, you guys were no help, so I had to go lookin'.
It's no wonder that our paths have not crossed:
cracked the helmet
UT's dbs seem exploitable.
RB bootlegging the ball. LOL!
Umm...there are not 40,000 Tennessee fans there. I doubt it's 20k.
I think that UT QB was shook up more than the announcers giving credit for. 20% chance he doesn't come out for this series.
Like I was saying, good line. 😀 I have Tenn +14.5 all over the place in teasers, with everything else a winner. Ruh roh.
This first quarters is sending chills thru me too.
And so OSU's first drive is stopped 3 and out but a face mask on the sack. Touchdown. Then they fumble at 1 and get the perfect bounce. Touchdown. Then they fumble punt and perfect bounce. Okay. Heupel staggering.
tOSU just dodging bullets out there.
This is actually totally normal for UT's offense at the start of games this year ever since Oklahoma. Their defense getting whipped like this is unusual.
Heavily taped his ankle?
It looks like there is a stack of Frisbees under his shoe!
yikes
Please be keeping showing the crowd picks of Tennessee fans, please.
Well the Ducks have a situation on their hands. I'm a big believer in getting vaccinated against monster teams in order to take them down ... and the Buckeyes, been there, done that.
