2024 College Football Thread: Ohio State advances to play unbeaten hypothetical SEC team (13 Viewers)

[TennesseeJed]

Ball State did what UNC could not - hold JMU under 70.

 

[Desert_Power]

Unexpected

 

[Osaurus]

Coach Prime taking it to our former national champions

 

[Todem]

Poorly played by the UCF CB…..that was a bad decision that ended up a TD.

You don’t wait for that ball as a DB you get your hands in there and knock it away.

UCF stinks BTW.

 

[Long Ball Larry]

This Ole Miss QB may have the lowest football IQ I've seen out of a QB. What a doofus.

And seemingly the number 2 qb prospect in this year’s draft as of now

 

[Long Ball Larry]

Colorado-UCF is the new winner of my “staring at the matchup for a minute and wondering why the two teams are playing right now and ‘oh wow this is actually a ****ing conference game’” award.

The previous winner of the award was Syracuse-Stanford last week

 

[Schmeabs]

Looking like USC is way overrated as usual

 

[Long Ball Larry]

@ariwasserman

UNLV QB Hajj-Malik Williams is 11-of-14 for 158 yards and two touchdowns and has the Rebels up 28-0 on Fresno State. AND IT IS HILARIOUS.

 

[Long Ball Larry]

Oklahoma was not ready for the SEC

Washington Huskies at Rutgers last night in a Big Ten opener.

I'm still getting used to Penn State calling themselves Big Ten.

Louisville is starting 7th year, 25 year old QB Tyler Shough. It’s crazy to think these guys are still the tail end of the Covid year and guys are able to play that long in college.

 

[General Malaise]

Arkansas just tried a fake field goal that might have been the worst fake fg I've ever witnessed. Jesus.

Ahhhhh, the man who lost his job to suck assssss Anthony Brown. Glad to see he's still out there slinging it.

 

[General Malaise]

Mississippi State and their 9th string QB hanging with the Horns.

 

[Jayded]

Notre Dame survives. Defense bails out the putrid offense again.

Leonard still needs to hit the bench as he cannot complete a pass longer than 5 yards. Denbrock really should be thanking Jayden Daniels for making him look competent.

 

[SHIZNITTTT]

OU - such a long way to go. Nice getting a win on the road in the SEC since the announcer stated how loud the stadiums are on the road 39 times during the game, how tough it is play on the road in the SEC. Sec sec sec Great

 

[Snotbubbles]

And I don’t disagree with you guys…..it just reeks from the top to the bottom.

It’s always reeked. They should just make them employees. Easy fix.

Do the players need to be registered as students at the school?

If yes, do they need to meet any minimum educational requirements (like passing all classes, taking X amount of credits, etc.)? If they don't meet those requirements, do they still get paid?

Can schools sign athlete/employees to multiple year contracts?

If yes, would there be buyout clauses? If yes, would buyout clauses be mandatory? Also, who would have to pay the buyout clause (e.g., in hockey, NHL teams are not allowed to pay buyout clauses for players with KHL (a professional Russian League) contracts, the player has to pay the buyout)?

Could a school terminate a contract for say: underaged drinking, poor play, bad conduct, bad grades (assuming the first question is a yes), etc.?

What if the player decides he wants to go to the NFL, can a school with a player contract prevent this? Assuming there's a buyout clause, would the player have to pay any buyout, the NFL, an agent? (I ask this because say there is a $1M buyout, not every player gets drafted, and even if they get drafted they might not make a team, and even if they get drafted and make a team, they might not be making great money that first NFL contract and they might not see all 4 years of that first NFL contract)

Would a college even try to sign a player to a college contract until they are 18?

I have so many questions about allowing schools to contract with players.

 

[Todem]

Daniels….tuck yer damn shirt in. You look ridiculous man.

 

[Todem]

This Stanford RB Ford…..has stud written all over him.

 

[Don Quixote]

UNLV looks like they will be just fine with Hajj-Malik Williams at QB.

 

[Snotbubbles]

Would it help if we stopped calling it college football and started calling it semi-pro football? Maybe that would make what's going on more psychologically acceptable. Only thing left is to have congress make the NFL (and the NBA) get rid of their stupid age restrictions. And the draft.

Well the draft is collectively bargained. Without the CBA, bargained and agreed to by the players unions, drafts would in fact be illegal (except possibly in baseball). So too are the age restrictions.

So Congress could I guess overall organized labor. I'd love that precedent. But both things are illegal except when collectively bargained already.

That's true, but I don't think the players are the ones forcing the draft to be part of the CBAs at this point. I'm sure if players were given the option to determine who they played for themselves/through individual negotiation with the franchises at the start of their pro careers, they'd take it.

I don't think the players would. The whole draft salary scale was because guys were getting drafted and eating up large portions of the cap without playing a single NFL down. So the veteran players benefit by suppressing rookie pay.

 

[Todem]

Daniel’s is not a smart QB.
Killing Stanford.

And tuck yer damn shirt in.

 

[bigbottom]

Looking like USC is way overrated as usual

Hmmm. Managed to cover.

Would be nice to see them put two halves together.

 

[Corporation]

Long way to go but that was a good start.

 

[SoBeDad]

Louisville is starting 7th year, 25 year old QB Tyler Shough. It’s crazy to think these guys are still the tail end of the Covid year and guys are able to play that long in college.

Miami's Cam McCormick, a 26 year-old 2nd string blocking TE, has caught 2 TDs on 3 receptions this year including a TD yesterday from Cam Ward in Miami's comeback. He also caught passes from Herbert.

He overcame multiple injuries at Oregon including an achilles, torn deltoid ligament combined with a broken left fibula, ankle screw malfunction, ankle reconstruction, resulting in 9 years of eligibility, a record.

He has earned a bachelor's degree in journalism and a master's in advertising and brand responsibility at Oregon, and now "post-baccalaureate" program at UM. He's had 2 summer jobs/internships at Fidelity, 1 summer with Oregon Police, 1 summer as an ambassador in Uganda. Not your typical football jock.

 

[Long Ball Larry]

Did everyone on Georgia eat paint chips as a kid?

 

[TLEF316]

Yeah, beck looks like WAY too much of a dork to have that arm sleeve

 

[Jayded]

Wow. So much for an interesting game to watch tonight. Georgia forgot to get off the bus

 

[SHIZNITTTT]

Well that was fun. What’s on Netflix tonight?

 

[Schmeabs]

Yeah they came out and played much better in 2nd half

Wyoming is a train wreck this season, but at least they’re holding their own against Air Force (for now) during homecoming

It's ridiculous, and Cam Rising hurt again probably trying to milk an 8th year. It's embarrassing,

 

[Schmeabs]

Well this Alabama/Georgia game not going as I expected.

IMO, it's only a matter of time before someone mounts a serious challenge against the current eligibility rules. And like every other case, the NCAA will likely lose/settle.

Too many "not good enough for the NFL" 24-30 year olds who could make a 6 figure salary playing big time college ball. Someone will try it in the right jurisdiction. Courts have already said the ncaa can't enforce transfer rules. And they opened the door with the covid eligibility rules.


I used to laugh at all the "get a job" memes thrown at the 6th and 7th year guys. But the reality is that making 6 figures playing college football is the best job they're ever gonna have

Milroe looks special.

McDaniel with an athlete like Milroe scares me.

 

[SoBeDad]

Dolphin fans are scouting college QBs Friday and Saturday.

Milroe looks special.

Agreed. He looks like Lamar.

It's sure to change, but Tankathon has Beck, Sanders, Ewers, Ward (pick 28), Dart and then Milroe at pick 50. Ward was a 3rd rounder before the season started. Beck looks like Herbert, a few more bad throws and maybe he falls.

 

[irish eyes]

Was Carson Beck really being looked at as a top QB in the NFL draft. He stinks.

 

[kupcho1]

Miami's Cam McCormick, a 26 year-old 2nd string blocking TE, has caught 2 TDs on 3 receptions this year including a TD yesterday from Cam Ward in Miami's comeback. He also caught passes from Herbert.

I'm pretty sure he caught 2 from Testaverde his freshman year.

 

[TLEF316]

Beck is seeing ghosts

 

[Ministry of Pain]

Let's see if Georgia can still cut into this lead before the Half and make a game out of this for the 2nd Half
...1st throw almost a Pick-6, oof!

 

[kupcho1]

When did Aubrey Plaza join NBC's halftime show?

Yep, one of the horrible NFL franchises will take Beck & set their team back 5 years

 

[Ministry of Pain]

I guess you can induce a flag and Safety for intentional grounding.
What if Alabama just stood stoic, would they still get the call?

 

[Jayded]

Beck out there losing a ton of money tonight.

 

[TLEF316]

Lol, no dog in this fight, but how do they miss that PI?

 

[Ministry of Pain]

Kalen DeBoer having it out with the officials for good reason, worst non call for pass interference you will see on the TV today

 

[Brunell4MVP]

I'm rooting for Georgia, but God that pass interference no call was insane. The UGA CB collared him when the ball was halfway there. What are the refs watching?
