2024 -25 College Football and College Football Playoff Thread

That's amazing ... though I did just Google the largest point spread in college football history, and it supposedly was Florida State -70.5 vs Savannah State in 2012.

FSU seemed well on its way to covering, up 55-0 in the third quarter, but there was severe lightning in the area and the game was called. How'd you like to lose a bet for that reason?

Thankfully that bet was likely voided.  Usually spread and over/under bets require completion of the game.

Makes sense. I didn't know sportsbooks were that "nice." Actually, I'm guessing it must be a law ... and a good one!

I think its makes sense for both parties. Both the player and the house have an equal chance of being screwed, correct?

I'd think the action on the Under would go through the roof if was a chance of lightning going into a game, if not for the rule.

Any idea on the largest spread between two FBS teams? The second biggest spread I could find looks to have been Hawaii v. Northern Colorado, another FCS team.

Does anyone remember the infamous "power outage game" in Vegas between Bucky and UNLV? https://badgerherald.com/sports/2002/09/05/robbed-by-the-night/

Is there any game actually worth watching today?  Looks like a lame schedule to me.  College Hoops > College Football

[tower912]

Watch EPL instead.

There are multiple top 25 matchups.  USC-Stanford is always good.  Bama-Texas will be a beatdown but entertaining.

I love college basketball, but there are countless Saturdays, especially early in the season with "lame schedules".  It doesn't always have to be a competition like college basketball fans like to make it

¡EL ASSICO! is today

Also, Florida-Kentucky is an interesting game from a SEC standpoint.  One of those teams is probably the challenger to Georgia.  This is supposed to be Kentucky's best recent team and is Florida a week one fraud?

Go outside.

Go outside.

I am outside.

No EPL today.

[tower912]

I know.

Ewers is really good. Having him and Arch both at Texas next year will be...interesting.

Well,

In some made up review they mostly corrected the call.

"play was described to me incorrectly"

Wtf

[tower912]

They may have actually gotten it right.  Incomplete pass.

Still not sure how that isnt grounding.

But yeah, the fact Texas gets the ball is the key.

What a mess.

[tower912]

Grounding isn't reviewable.  The initial thought of targeting meant they weren't looking at grounding.

In the end, after review, they got it as right as they could.

[PGsHeroes32]

Horrendous play call by Texas


Kicker gives them life tho. Can the D hold?

[tower912]

The story if a kicker named Auburn beats Bama....

I predict Bama wins it.

[tower912]

Biggest missed tackle of the season.

[PGsHeroes32]

Simply cannot miss that tackle

[Lennys Tap]

Thundering Herd!!!

I stand corrected..  I forgot the Thundering Herd had a game today!
