College Football 2024

Columbia, Columbia?!!, clinches a share of the Ivy League title for the first time since 1961.

Same as it ever was. College football is the most non competitive sport since forever. And now instead of just having nicer facilities it is about that plus having more cold hard cash to pay players. If tOSU/Michigan/Alabama/Texas don't win every season it is a fundamental failure at those schools. Only a matter of time until the rest of the country tunes out of this charade.

Since it IS the same as it ever was, is there a realistic expectation that anyone will tune out given they haven't before? Other than the massive amount of bowl games.

Yeah, it's headed south in a hurry.

We can't have nice things. Georgia, Ohio State, Michigan, Alabama, Texas and Pedo State will almost always win. The arc of the moral football universe bends towards a banal evil.

At least it looks like Nebraska is dead.

(9)Ole Miss got beat by Fla.

Oof. I told my Dad right before the Indiana punter fumbled a perfect snap that there would be something like a blocked punt. Game changer. Might have cost Indiana the game. If they don’t have a strong first drive that results in points, I’m afraid it’ll be a rout. Guess we’ll see how they respond. My dad is 82. He knows he’s never seen such an important IU football game in his entire life. And at the rate Indiana has a universally excellent season, this will be the most important the rest of my lifetime too.

That wasn't the play. Where IU lost it was not being able to score when OSU didn't score on their first series. I think OSU scores even if the punt wasn't blocked. Other than the first series, IU has not moved the ball at all.

Well, until this drive when there's 2 min left and there's no chance for the Hoosiers to get back into the game.

They showed a commercial for an upcoming Utah/UCF matchup and I honestly couldn't remember if that's an in-conference or out-of-conference game anymore.

It may change between now and Friday.

Indiana started well. This should be a good game.

Hot damn!

Navy vs. Notre Dame at Gillette Stadium on Halloween in 2026. It’s ND’s first visit to Gillette.

As a Hoosier fan, it’s like every analyst forgets Indiana is usually 2-8 every year against this same SOS.

In times of political upheaval, it was oddly comforting to look up at the TVs at work and see Paul Finebaum slobbering all over the SEC this morning.

Justifying how great they are since Vandy beat bama. And trying to convince the world that multi loss bama is more deserving than undefeated Indiana. Forgetting that Indiana has to play OSU this weekend, and then if they manage to keep winning, they have to play Oregon. Which would make their SOS one of the hardest. And it's not their fault that Michigan is having a terrible year.

At the same time, they are all assuming Notre Dame is 100% in, even though they lost to MAC Northern Illinois.

I think Fienbaum is like Howard Stern- making you mad just to listen to the next dumb thing he says.

Oregon trying to fit into the B10 with some ugly wins. Meh indeed.

Brian Kelly lost, so that's nice.
