2024-25 College Football Thread

I wouldn't bet on that game.
Anyone betting on this Bama team at this point in 2024 is an idiot.
They were Jeckel and Hyde with a 7-5 ATS record. And a variance by game of 18 points versus the spread. Thats nuts.
Milroe's best game of the season was versus Georgia which is about as nuts as any stat on the entire year for any team.

I know Indiana would show up and play hard and play smart and disciplined football.
I know they'd have a great chance to limit Bama on the ground and force Bama to beat them via pass.
I also know Bama had more talent on paper and "could win easily if they got rolling".

Indiana was not good enough to beat ND but it was the closest game of the 4 and they gave up 98 rushing yards on one play. Outside that the defense kept them in it all day. ND defense was simply too good for Indiana to do much of anything so it was awful boring until ND went prevent.

Bama was probably not the 4th best SEC team. They just had 1 really good win. But 1 very good win and 3 bad losses will not get you to the CFP; yet, and hopefully ever.
The fact anyone is even discussing Bama getting in is SEC derangement syndrome.

I'm using Bama as an example b/c they were ranked 11th in the final CFP poll but , b/c of certain questionable rules, they got screwed out of a playoff spot.

SEC homers are so funny.

Not nearly as funny as people who think there is tougher conference.

I'm not an SEC homer because this is my teams first year in it. But I can show you a list of the last 20 National champions and show you what conference they're in.

Saban and Alabama and then look at the teams and their coaches. THAT is why they are champions NOT because they are in the SEC.
Pathetic

Saban wouldn't lead Vanderbilt to a Nation championship in a million years. He wouldn't lead SMU or Tulane to a national championship. You have the uncanny ability to be wrong about everything.

If there were 64 teams, someone would still complain about being left out.

A million you say? lol. I'd take that SMU bet. That school has deep football pockets. You add his name and rep to their resources......... easily a title contender in 2-3 years.

Why are you answering a question that wasn't asked?

Not really. SMU wouldn't get the top high school recruits no matter who was the coach. At least not on a substantial level.
