NCAA: College Football 2024: Conference Re-Malign-ment, News & Notes Talk

[Jovavic]

I think what you have here, with Chip, is that he’s trying to get back to the NFL as a coordinator, and taking a step down to Ohio State gets him better looks than being a lame duck at UCLA, who may not be as committed to football going forward like the other three west coast teams. And with this current landscape with the transfer portal and NIL, this is a developing trend with coaches who just want to coach and not have to re-recruit their entire roster every year.

No chance. I don't think that would work there.

Zero chance that happens

Chip Kelly wouldn't even be in the top 100

Welcome to "Joe Paterno looked the other way while kids were being molested field" at Beaver Stadium

It's a little wordy but I think we can all get used to it

Instead of stealing the Jackie Robinson statue, someone should have take the Paterno one and burned it in a fire so it could burn in hell just like Joe is

I don’t know what this is supposed to mean or why it matters

 

[Big Z Man 1990]

CBS should have Nickelodeon air alternate broadcasts of some of its Big Ten games similar to the broadcasts of the NFL.

 

[Tony Romo]

Think I'm gonna try going to the Georgia vs Texas game this year.

I already have tickets for the Michigan vs Texas. may double dip this year.

My full expectation is that the next playoff will be the ACC, Big Twelve, and a midmajor champs and then nine Big Ten and SEC teams factoring in the two conference champ auto-bids and the seven highest ranked non-conference champs.

 

[Big Z Man 1990]

College football playoffs expand from 4 to 12 teams starting in 2024

The NFL had a 12 team format for years. The top 4 teams get a bye This year would have had UGA, Michigan, TCU and Ohio St. with byes Alabama playing Washington, Tennessee playing Penn St., Clemson playing USC, and Kansas St playing Utah. Actually, the top 4 are reserved for conference champs...

This post in another thread explains how I think the CFP bracket should be divided along the Mason-Dixon Line and says that if Notre Dame is ranked high enough even #1 then they should get a first-round bye under the format I am proposing.

Also, I think ESPN and ABC should insist on OU/Texas being played at night every year.

 

[Big Z Man 1990]

This year marks the 55th anniversary of the Game of the Century between Texas and Arkansas.

ABC should mark the occasion by airing the game between them on November 16 and present the broadcast as if it was still 1969.

College Football Playoff adopts new '5+7' format to allow for more at-large bids

The CFP officially has a new format.

sports.yahoo.com

I like the 7 at large bids. People will argue for small schools that don't play anyone and have no good players and I'll laugh.

This actually checks out as I can't see any of the current Big 12 escaping this season with fewer than 2 losses. The conference is deep with "yeah, these guys should be good this year" type teams especially after adding Utah and Zona, and not so deep with the "these guys scare the shit out of me" type teams. The ACC will be top heavy and everyone outside of FSU and Clemson basically needing a miracle season to make it. FSU and Clemson play eachother this year, and FSU goes to South Bend late in the year, while Clemson plays Georgia neutral site. So basically the odds that both will be 1 loss teams (what I expect it to take for the ACC to get a second team in) is very low.

There's an off chance that either the ACC or Big 12 gets a second team in, especially if either of those 2 ACC non-conferences I mentioned end up being wins, or if WVU stuns PSU in Morgantown or ISU beats Iowa on the road and either has a hell of a season (10-2 type season). Possible? yes. Likely? absolutely not.
