College Football 2024

[The Buscher]

Georgia Tech knocks off #10 Florida State with a walk-off FG in Ireland.

Can’t quite make “and just like that, their season is over” jokes quite yet due to the new playoff format but the Noles are essentially already in “must win” territory the rest of the way.  They lost a lot of talent and didn’t really replenish it in the portal.  I don’t see it.

DJU continues to underwhelm.

After their whining and protesting over the playoffs last year, I hope more losses are coming.

"But you promised us this wouldn't happen under the expanded format" protest a 4-loss FSU in December.

Went to register for ESPN player to find out no longer a thing in the UK (it's been awhile).

So previously I could get every single college game for like £10 a month. Now I can get about a game a week for £30+ on Sky Sports. Tad disappointing. Can't use a VPN for ESPN+ either because I need a US card.

I hate how you have to have country specific cards for certain things. Got a Visa gift card once, tried to use it on Big Finish's website to get some Doctor Who audios, and couldn't. However, if it had been an actual Visa card, it would have worked.

Having played a CFB25 dynasty with Miami, I am now very invested in this Hurricanes team.

Keep in mind, that despite as much as Tessitore and Palmer are building Miami up, this Florida team is likely not very good.

Hopefully Billy Napier has found a good moving company.

I originally came in here to say how nice it is to be watching CFB again, and make a joke about how I like CFB better than the NFL because Meacon and I can be Golden Helmet Trojan Hating Bros, but don't let him lie to you, Maxx, The U is back! The Huskers too! Tennessee came back last year or I'd mention them too.

Well that's play of the week confirmed! Just amazing athleticism.

Maybe CFB25 isn't as unrealistic as it seems.

Plenty of cupcake games not worth mentioning. But Oregon only beat Idaho by 10 points, and Colorado barely got past a D II team. Yet Prime is still acting like a jerk. He doesn't get that Colorado isn't being taken seriously because of his attitude and their defense being hot garbage. 

Georgia proved that Clemson is overrated, and Miami handed Florida a beatdown.

Someone on FB mentioned that Michigan played Cupcake U. I replied that they play Sprinkles State on the 14th.

Even if for just one glorious week. 

[DMN in the House]

FSU doesn't have any heart and DJU isn't good, bad times for the state of Florida.

[Meacon Keaton]

More like semi-loles

[gunnar hendershow]

Probably wasn't smart to play a game the week after playing on the other side of the Atlantic. But then again, this is the same program that looked at DJU and went "that's our guy"

[GhostMachine]

Florida State decided to boycott the playoffs early, I see.....

Mostly clunkers in this early slate.  Even something like #3 Texas at #10 Michigan you think should be interesting only for Texas to just whoop ‘em so far.
