College Football 2024

Unless they bump ASU up six spots, Boise will get a bye. Only the first round is on campus, the quarterfinals are at the NY6 bowl game sites, so Boise will probably be at the Fiesta Bowl.

Ah, missed that part of the tournament.

Still, they struggle financially with big bowl games.

Almost feel bad for Iowa St. *almost*

Felt sorry for their QB getting wrecked on a safety blitz.

I’m confused by your post- seems that the odds of a freezing game on the blue turf is very real. Idaho played a bowl game there where it was super cold and the turf was an ice rink. (Let alone, it was in terrible condition)

But they may have some other financial issues hosting a game.

Boise is officially in the playoff now. And unless they jump the Big XII champ six spots they’ll get a bye as well. The bye is great and shatters expectations for the non-P4, but it is a little unfortunate there won’t be a bitterly cold playoff game played on the blue turf.

In a cool playoff, Army and Jax State would have also qualified last night.

CFP rankings don't come out until tomorrow, but if we follow the AP, the first round byes would be:

1) Oregon - B1G
2) Texas - SEC
8) SMU - ACC
10) Boise - MW

Three schools in their first year in a conference and one school leaving their current conference in two years.

Will be funny when two PAC-12 teams win the B1G and Big 12 championships.

Minnesota true freshman Koi Perich named first team big ten

That kid has award written all over him. Hope we keep him.

because it meant an extra home game

So does 16.

Inside Carolina has reported Bill Belichick has interviewed for the UNC job.

[Spartanforlife4]

I just realized this is real.

As a f-cked over Irish fan, I think it's hilarious. I assume it was deliberately set up this way to get to 16 faster.

I also appreciate that 99.99% of the world will be rooting for Arizona State.

I hope it is 8 below in South Bend.

It was supposed to be so the P4 champs would always get a bye but the Big XII screwed that up this year. Plus Boise having a Heisman candidate.

Reports said ND actually preferred the byes being held for conference champs because it meant an extra home game, and they even changed the academic calendar so students would still have a chance to be around that weekend.

Taking his talents to Columbus?

I’m hoping not as he supposedly turned down 7 figures from them last year

[Kepler]

Byes:
1) Oregon
2) Texas
8) SMU
10) Boise

But we can have a good laugh when Alabama plays the first round in Columbus or South Bend in the snow.
