2024 College Football Thread

Exactly, for the majority of teams, every game after their first loss is now rendered an exhibition. I guess with the 12 team playoff, it expands now to every game after a team's second loss is essentially an exhibition.

I don't know if thats fair.  Conference and division titles are still important for a lot of programs that aren't perennial national title contenders.

You look at a MAC/Sun Belt/AAC team, their season doesn't start till October after they get beat around by P5 schools in the OOC matchups before they start competing for the conference titles.

Or a chance to ruin the season of a rival.

Not the person you’d expect to champion this, but good for Harbaugh for being the anti-Dabo

I would expect him to take shots at college football on his way out.

He’s been pretty consistent about this

Meh. Bring back the halcyon times, when athletes were indentured servants whose freedoms were restricted, when they were denied so much as pizza money, when every dime made on the athletes' blood, sweat and torn ACLs went to coaches and suits.

You don't want to shut up, play hard and entertain me? To hell with ya!

Those were the days!

Congratulations to The Jackrabbits of South Dakota State on their second straight FCS Championship

Michigan winning the LOS. Which is how they win the game.

[GB Warrior]

A game is never over after one quarter, but this one's in the danger zone

[Herman Cain]

Solid game so far for Michigan

[PGsHeroes32]

Bad decision by Michigan going for it on 4th there and living a team virtually dead with solid field position and momentum. Especially to do it by not running too.

Now barring quick points by Mich, this one goes to half 17-10 and Wash gets ball.

That said, Mich is still controlling the game so the Huskies will need a lot more consistency to pull this out.

It was a worse decision to not go for it on 4th and 2 from the UW 37 before.  Harbaugh got too conservative too early.  The offense was absolutely cooking and they went into coast mode after the FG.  McCarthy is completely out of rhythm.

Johnson not stepping out on the sideline there could loom large

Hope he isn't in charge of the Michigan passing game attacking a zone.

Agree with you and PGs. Two weird 4th-down decisions by Harbaugh.

Setting up to be a fun second half after what looked like it was gonna be a blowout.

[PGsHeroes32]

Just keep letting em hang around...

Huskies cant string together anything in bunches but still alive when allowing 11 ypc.

[GB Warrior]

This has quietly turned into the Big 10iest of games

Last 20 minutes of “action” have looked like Iowa vs Minnesota.

[MU82]

Both teams are tight. Lots of dropped passes and missed throws. Pressure being felt, even by stars and experienced players.

Meanwhile, Fowler just live-corrected a mistake by Herbstreit.

[PGsHeroes32]

Washing ton drops a 1st down pass

Next play. Holding on a 32 yard pass.

Just cant get outta their own way.

A couple massive drops and a few poorly timed penalties doomed Washington tonight.

[PGsHeroes32]

Ballgame.

[MuggsyB]

The diminutive guy slammed the door. 

[GB Warrior]

I don't think 73 is going to look fondly on this game

[PGsHeroes32]

Washington just killed themselves any time they had any prayer.

Wanted at least a fun finish. They didnt show up
