2024 College Football šŸˆ Season starts tomorrowā€¦. Yee Yee

Just for shits and giggles, who's everyone picking for this weekend?

I'd love to see IU and Tenn win, but I'm going with the bookies in Vegas right down the line,
ND, PSU, OSU and the Longhorns.

Anyone see an upset brewing?
 
I heard a rumor that the Big10 was the toughest conference, and that's why they had 4 teams in the top 10. Indiana is rated #2 in the Big10 according to the standings. I watched some Notre Dame games, and they didn't seem very good. Indiana still has another half to play though and make my prediction of Indiana winning, right.

Unbalanced schedules due to super conferences sucks. Indiana played one good team all year and got spanked.
 
That was the #2 Big10 team according to the standings. Just seems like a very weak conference and if you got the easy schedule and were pretty good, it was easy to win almost every game.

Meanwhile, Notre Dame is trying to do all that they can do lose the game. :D

I guess we'll have to see how the rest of the games go, but it doesn't appear that the Big10 is anywhere near as good as the voters and CFP committee thought.

Because of the unbalanced schedule. Do you want me to Google and post their schedule? They beat up on the bottom half of the big 10 because they can only play whoā€™s on their schedule.

That wouldnā€™t be worth your time. Oregon, Penn State, and Indiana only played one of the supposed top 10 or top 5 Big10 schools, Ohio St.

Fwiw, thatā€™s similar to Texas who only played Georgia, but Georgia played Alabama, Tennessee, Texas and Ole Miss. Tennessee played Georgia and Alabama.

I think Vols/Buckeyes may be a close one.
I don't see Clemson or SMU being able to hang with the competition. I've been wrong plenty of times before though.

Iā€™m not sure about the rest after tonights game. Texas only played Georgia of the top SEC schools. Penn St only played Ohio St of the top Big10 schools.

Based on how bad Indiana was, I feel even better about Tennessee winning. Yes, they lost to Oregon by 1 at Oregon when Oregon made a move that resulted in a rule change. But, they also lost to Michigan in their last game. Tennessee did lose to Arkansas, but they have a Freshman QB whoā€™s getting better almost every game. Tennessee also lost to Georgia at Georgia, but led for part of that game.

I expect SMU to get blown out, I wouldnā€™t be surprised if Clemson gives Texas a game. Texas is definitely one of the most talented teams in the country but itā€™s hard to know how good they are because of the schedule. They lost to Georgia twice and a&m gave them fits, only 2 teams they played on their level. Dabo has plenty of big game experience, weā€™ll see!

Yup. We agree then.
 
The Gold-Domers took Indiana behind the woodshed ā€¦ I read the comments about scheduling in the new mega conference, 11-1 Indiana did earn a spot , they beat everyone by 14 or more , until ya get to the big dance ya never know about a team , Indianaā€™s QB looked like he collapsed under the pressure of the moment, he played horribleā€¦.. they had me fooled into thinking they were a stronger team , with how they dominated everyone on their schedule expect OSU ā€¦..

I think the VOLS will find a way to win at the shoe , im shellfishly hoping they do so I can watch Columbus melt down over Ryan Day ā€¦.. lol

I canā€™t see SMU winning, I still have ptsd from the Nittny Lions running all over my Ducks šŸ¦† D

Texas will find a way at home , seems like Ewers dosent play well in big games and they always have to put in Manning for a spark
