The Official 2024 College Football Random Thoughts Thread

[VegetasHairline]

I mean it's an award that's a combination of things breh. It's never just straight up been someone who's putting up the most stats, jumps off the screen the most, etc. Narrative, team success, level of football you're playing on, all that shyt matters. You got Hunter who's been somewhere around a top 5 CB and top...10? WR for a P4 team. The man plays like 80-90% of the snaps of every game he's out there.

I think dudes that wanna boost Jeanty willingly choose to lessen what Hunter does out there. Jeanty probably had about a 10/10 season, but he wasn't superhuman for 2-3 games. That was when the narrative wholesale shifted to Hunter. You gotta be perfect when you're facing an opponent that got the narratives, the bigger name, the higher level of football, and is doing something comparatively impressive

I get that but he's put up better numbers than all the recent running backs that have won the Heisman. Yeah he plays for Boise State and they don't play a tough schedule but those numbers are still incredible.

Is the big 12 really that better than the mountain west tho?

And I agree that he deserved all the acclaim. And he's gotten that. People spin it like being a top 2 heisman candidate is a bad thing or this isn't a close race even if you took all the other BS away. PFF ain't the end all be all but he grades as a top 5 receiver nationally and the best cover corner nationally. That's jaw dropping in of itself. Eye test wise, they both seem OD impressive. Jeanty just gets graded on a curve for who he plays for...which again, that's always been the case

Uh....yeah

The top 2 in the MWC could probably compete in the Big 12 over the course of the season, but the rest of that conference ain't stacking up to the top half of the Big 12. Colorado is 4th best in the Big 12 and they beat CSU by 20, who's third best in that conference. I'm not about to go down the line right now, but you can probably find other similar results if you went down the list.

Big 12 got hella good but not elite teams

But Colorado and Boise have the pretty similar SOS. i think Boise’s is better

This forum is not ready for a mid2000s type dominant Texas program because I’m gonna be fukking unbearable even more then I am now and I’m @dtownreppin214 and @Numpsay will be too because they was here in the trenches when we was ass ass (although our version of ass ass is an average year at Texas 8-4) I can’t wait @Silkk might block me if it happens

Texas is the 2024 Indiana

 

[Silkk]

Jeanty should’ve went to Oregon and put up a game like Lamar had vs FSU along with getting the W and the Heisman would’ve been his

 

[Bigwhite2498]

What is bama then

Def gonna be equity/stakes in football, maybe even basketball before long. The hope is that the NCAA or some governing body makes it to where those football schools who have the means to play at the top level group together and separate. We're already really at a point where that tier of football teams have b*stardized the non-money sports for every other university (and themselves), but it can still get worse.

If you're like a Kentucky that enjoys being on this level but will never organically have the funds or brand appeal to consistently compete against UGA, Texas, Alabama, etc., then taking outside money probably makes a lot more sense financially than just letting yourself slide into whatever that tier 2 ends up being. FSU's been actively the same thing for a year now

Wait, the Mountain West title game isn't in a neutral site?

If only it was in a more impartial location like the sec title game
















lol

 

[Numpsay]

SEC fans whining now that the playing field has been leveled due to NIL is funny. Most of those schools cheated illegally for years on end in a way most schools wouldn't approach, but it was all good then, now its not fair.
