2024 College Football Thread

My halftime thoughts…

nearly impossible to run good O vs a tough Texas D without a functional RB to insert.  You end up with no run game and the on the other end lose a body in pass protection because you can’t ask a random WR to pass pro.   Given that handicap vs that D, Cade is playing okay. 

Clemson got screwed on that pick 6.  21-14 alters the momentum and feel of that game.  Head in front and blew up his front shoulder.  Whoever is the fav isn’t getting that called on them. 

all that said, Clemson lost the ability to tackle and play basic run D weeks ago.   Really miss Venables in these games.   They got the bodies to be way better on D than they are.  It’s the D coach.  Time for change at DC next year.  The calls for that will be loud.  A reminder to SC fans that use that Clemson game they barely won because Sellers broke 198 tackles…..as they boast about how good they would do in the playoffs….Clemson just sucks at tackling.

Agree and I am pulling for Clemson here but Texas might have the most talented team in college.  Texas defense is damn near unfair

That's what happens when agents go all

And those wealthy Texas boosters go all

Yep. It's not a coincidence that Texas is all of a sudden very relevant again as soon as you can openly pay players. They have more money behind them than anyone else.

Wouldn’t mind Hunter Helm.  The next draft has really good TEs.   We need to mine that

Quinn Ewers with the biggest bitch move I’ve ever seen in my life.

Not the Panthers. They'll wait until it's another down year for TEs and then overdraft one.

Sounds about right. LOL

I hope CRA is all and well. I tried to warn him what was coming.

[Shocker]

Come on Clemson…great drive.

LOL…they just said the Texas defense had given up 4 passing TDs the entire season.  Jesus

Bro, told you all year Clemson was likely the best ACC team (they were) yet not built to run with the top of college football.  They won the ACC.   

me picking them to win today is just being a fan.  Otherwise, why watch if no belief/hope in these moments.  I’ve long said what Clemson was and wasn’t 

We literally are playing a WR at RB tonight lol because of how banged up the backfield is…yet Cade got 2 TDs.  Texas allowed 4 all year.  That’s not bad.  Clemson ain’t got the D this year.

Your issue must be with the 12-team format then. As I mentioned, there have been many prior seasons with 3-loss teams in the top 12. If we are going to have a 12-team (or God forbid, 16-team) format going forward, three losses is not a disqualifier. 

The real question we all should be asking is this: should there really be 12 teams in the playoffs? We know that there are at least 2, but I’d venture to guess about 6, teams that truly have no chance at winning this thing and should not be in a conversation about a “National Champion.”

Of course. As originally stated, there is a push to make this akin to the basketball tournament, which it cannot and will not ever be.

I would rather see the old way that everyone thought was unfair, and have bowls and votes after everything was over, than sit through these games that are there to sell me soda, cars and medicines.

Texas getting favorite calls to ensure nothing funky can happen lol.  I miss those days lol.
