The Official 2024-25 College Football Playoff + Bowl Mania Discussion Thread

Coastal Carolina has been really coming up in recent years. There are a lot of talented high school players in NC, SC, and GA to recruit, so it isn't surprising. Hopefully they will join a larger conference in the future and get more of a challenge. I would love to see them in the ACC. I think they could be competitive in the ACC. If the Big East still did Division I football, it would have been a perfect fit.

Anyone else thinking the Big XII is going to dissolve soon too? I could see us only having 4 Major conferences soon.

Not sure what's gonna happen myself but I'm thinking a bit of a shake up is happening for sure

I can see pros and cons of it. The biggest pro would be an argument for an extended playoff season. Could even go to a conference playoff, like Georgia High School did in the late 80s early 90s. Four teams played in a region playoff and the two winning teams went to the State Playoffs. Four conferences could give us 2 to 4 teams for a playoff scenario. However, the NCAA would have to factor in Independents or smaller conferences who produce a really good team (Like TCU, Utah, and Boise St of the 2010s or Tulane and Marshallof the 1990s). BYU won a National title when they were in a non major conference (they may have even been Independent) so it's possible.

A big con would be if there are so many teams in a conference you may have to play more conference games, thus possibly losing huge non conference rivalry games.

I like Texas Texh. Whenever I played NCAA Football on my PS2 back in the day, they were the team I choose. Love their uniforms and name. I remember that one good year they had in the mid 2000s and that was an exciting year.

47-0 is the largest margin of victory in the Georgia Vanderbilt rivalry. Where Vanny won in 1901

62-0 in the 4th now. Got Arkansas up next, and they aren't what they usually are. These easy wins are nice, but you have to be tested before you play Alabama or Florida.

Chris Tyree runs the ball all the back for the touchdown, to put Notre Dame back on top 17-13!
