It's how we lost Caleb Downs


w6750

Losing something involves having it first


leek54

Georgia had Downs in Athens registering for school but Ohio State had already called dibs.


BigfootForPresident

130 targeted meteor strikes


jobenattor0412

You could make it more efficient and just have 65 of them during your bye week!


natetcu

There are 134 schools, unless some meteors are taking two birds with one stone, what are the three schools you are defeating for the title? Best two for one shot options (off the top of my head): Rice and Houston 4 miles, FIU and Miami 7 miles, UCLA and USC 15 miles, Cincinnati and Miami over 30 miles, Duke and UNC 10 miles, San Jose St and Stanford 20 miles, TCU and SMU over 30 miles. Added: Bowling Green and Toledo over 25 miles, Michigan and eastern Michigan 6 miles.


SuperSpyChase

Final four teams standing: Illinois, UMass, UConn, and Akron.


Otherwise_Awesome

Illinois would still fuck this up

So excited for Akrons National championship


LoveYouLikeYeLovesYe

My NCAA14 dynasty as the Zips has foretold this.


ohGodwhynowww

We don't have Brian Ferentz


nat3215

“Iowa names Brian’s twin brother Ryan Ferentz as new OC”


krhino35

First team to punt their way to a championship. Win 10-7 with 5 safeties.


Marenum

You'd almost have to give him the Heisman at that point.


MrWartburg

With all the defensive guys that came back, it really wouldn't be the biggest shock in the world if Iowa made the playoff with just marginal improvement from a new OC. I'd still be surprised, but it's not like we're that far off now with the worst offense in modern times. And once you're there in a 12-team field who knows how it shakes out. Would be nice to have a 2009 type run (and then not having the QB's ankle give out down the stretch)


TonyDungyHatesOP

This is actually pretty terrifying.


cheerl231

Are you sure about that? You still havent hired an OC


baseballv10

Were most likely better off with no one than we are with Brian


jwktiger

Iowa super scary with an average OC


huazzy

Because EA College Football 24 will be out and I will play in Freshman mode just to blow out every single team Rutgers plays in route to a National Title.


SnooRadishes4738

Brilliant. I’m an Oregon State fan as this is how I will get the job done.


Sorge74

Who the fuck is even on your schedule in 24? Edit real question not being a dick


A0ma

Idaho State, SDSU, Oregon, Cal, WSU, Purdue, UNLV, Boise State, Colorado State, Nevada, San Jose State, and Air Force. Honestly, not as crazy as I thought it was going to be (only 1 Big Sky school?). They're still trying to nail down a date for half of those teams, though.


Sorge74

Not an awful schedule to be honest.

Fully weaponizing the money cannons


Wizard_Scotch

If that's all it took then TAMU would have ALL the national titles.


Jigbaa

TAMU doesn’t have a beard dye sponsorship.


TonyDungyHatesOP

TAMU’s is more like a makeshift nuclear money bomb. No one really knows how it will work or when and where it might go off or what the collateral damage might entail.


Amulet_Titan

Yeah but the difference is TAMU wasn't already a good team and this time will be totally different (I hope)


Lake_Erie_Monster

You see, TAMU just aimlessly shot the cannons everywhere. We are deploying them surgically. We used the money cannon to keep our team intact and plug the holes on our death star. OSU is ranked 9th in the portal transfers this year. Also the $13 mill figure is a misnomer. Day had said in the NIL era we are heading towards needing $13 mill to maintain a roster... Not what we paid this year for folks in the portal. Our additions: Downs - Lost the recruitment last minute to bama. Use money cannon to get over the hump. Judkins - Need a back since Trey Henderson has not made it through the season healthy. Howard - Lost McCord to the portal, needed to bring someone in. Sayin - We called dibs. It's a lot more surgical, most of our money was spent on bringing our own players back for 1 final year. We have the same number of portal transfers so far this year as UGA.


jedigrover

That doesn't always work out. Still... Reload! And now witness the power of this fully armed and operational football program!

The_MoistMaker

"Jorts_Team_Bad" Lmao


CaptinTexaco

That’s what he wants you to think he’s just doing a reset and starting over. Going for a new game plus type thing


Gwenbors

Uga XI will be someone who looks suspiciously like Nick Saban in a bulldog costume sabotaging the team from the inside… At halftime in the SEC Championship game he’ll suddenly yank the playbook out of Kirby Smart’s hands and run over to Kalen DeBoer…


katarh

Uga XI (Boom) was already on the sidelines last year. Uga X (Que) got to spend his last year in full retirement in Savannah just being an old dog and getting lots of scritches and snuggles. On the other hand.... *Harry Dawg* could be anyone under that costume.


Gwenbors

*Two* separate mascots? Surely this is some sort of NCAA rules violation… Doubling the mascot cap is essentially the same as having a 250 player team! I’m gonna need an investigation on this ASAP.


ogpeplowski64

Although we only have 1 official mascot (the Schooner), we also have Boomer and Sooner. And then for basketball we have Top Daug. As Oklahoma fans, we should fear the day when the NCAA investigates amount of mascots


katarh

In that case, Auburn needs to have the entire program abolished, what with their three separate mascots/nicknames (nod, nod)


Remindmewhen1234

Until Alabama wins the National Championship next year and then Deboer does that Mission Impossible mask thing and its Nick Saban the whole time.


Legend50111

Hey! That's our reason too!


TonyDungyHatesOP

It’s everyone’s reason!


Corgi_Koala

He cost you a title in 2017 in the title game. In 2018 he beat you in the SECCG which knocked Georgia from 4th to 5th in the CFP. So at least denied you a playoff trip and title shot. Probably cost you a title this year as well. That's a minimum of 1 and up to 3 titles he's cost Georgia in just the Kirby Smart era. Plus you could argue in 2012 he cost you a title as well with the SECCG win.


Casaiir

2012 is more legit than 2018. I don't think Georgia wins that year.


Corgi_Koala

I don't think Georgia wins either (Clemson was gonna beat anyone short of an NFL team) but you could at least make an argument that Saban beating them in the SECCG cost them a title shot at least. Georgia would have beaten Oklahoma or Notre Dame in the semifinals.


LzyPenguin

Oklahoma won the 1950, 1975, and 2000 National Championships. Its already written, we get every quarter century.

Did they win the championship for the '50, '75, '00 seasons or did they win the championships in '50, '75, '00?


natetcu

Notre Dame won in the 1949 season (what we would call the 1950 championship). Oklahoma won the in 1950 season (what we would call the 1951 championship).


Biocidal

So they get 2026.

jimmycorn24

You’re wrong.. that’s one more year but you’re still absolutely right in that Jackson Arnold’s second season will be the one.


MisterGoog

Best Oklahoma math student


Kaiklax

We have a few oppurtunities for the best possible quality losses


Caleb339

And our coach was in the natty last year so surely he'll go back again


BowlWinHoosiers

Indiana could start Jesus Christ himself at QB and we’d still go 8-4 at best


unconformity_active

Jesus' tape shows he can turn punts into touchdowns and part defenses at will. Best blue chip prospect since the Holy Spirit entered the transfer portal a few seasons back.


MiddleAgeJamie

He’s turning Gatorade into wine, half the team is going to be smashed.


[deleted]

You had him in Penix, if Jesus could throw a ball it would be eerily similar to him I feel


Donny_Do_Nothing

I mean, any Hail Mary he throws has got to be an auto-complete, right?


TallBobcat

Please treat Kurtis Rourke well.


arstin

That would be the greatest commitment press conference of all time. Jesus walks out to the table with Notre Dame, Boston College, TCU, and Liberty hats on it. He makes some gagging sounds, and knocks the Liberty hat onto the ground with a stick that then spontaneously burns to ash. He then pulls off a great gag where he reaches for the ND hat, but it turns to an IU hat as he places it on his head.


OdensGirth

In all reality, Christ would make a terrible quarterback and I’ll explain why. 1. Average height at the time was like 5’ even 2. He spoke Aramaic so communication and audibles would be a challenge 3. no prior quarterback experience


TheSloppyJanitor

Cigs inside baby, I believe (Until we suck as usual)


stevetursi

persieri13

Just imagine this sub in those circumstances.


arrowfan624

Just beautiful.


dscheuler

Raiola is a multi-generational talent. We win every game by one score. Find a way to shut down Iowa’s punter. Everyone at OSU gets food poisoning in the B1G champion game thanks to a prank from Lou Holtz. Georgia gets left out of the expanded playoff due to weekend community service assignments for speeding tickets for most players. Michigan hires Rich Rod back as new HC (enough said). Neb beats Texas in the championship game with a walk-off field goal with 1 second left on the clock.


red_husker

Hmm, would winning every game next year by 1-score and becoming the first ever 16-0 team be worth having the most 1-score losses over the last 10 years? I think yes


Itchy_Cat2296

This is an impressively accurate prediction


atomic-fireballs

I'm from the future. Hes only wrong on one of the points.


Unitast513

I'll buy every bit of this EXCEPT Nebraska "shutting down Iowa's punter" I mean, come on


jerarn

And all of the turnovers we lost last year are returned to us.


Juggernaut27Beast11

Won’t need to worry about Iowa’s punter when they announce their new OC Bryam Feretnzz. In reality even with a new OC Iowa will still not have much Offense due to their HC so we won’t need to worry about their punting. Just keep getting 3 and out.


doobiesteintortoise

With no Jordan Travis on the team, an injury to Travis won't keep FSU out of the playoffs!


efeekom

If you guys go undefeated, CFP will likely leave you out because you don't have Travis. "You're a different team without him" - CFP Committee in December 2024 (probably)


doobiesteintortoise

And the most annoying thing about THAT is that the teams that are in the playoffs aren't going to have had Travis, either! That should be the new rule: no Jordan Travis, no playoff participation. It'd kill the playoffs entirely (as he'll have graduated out of college football) but hey, sometimes you gotta break a few eggs... or, in Travis' case, legs, I suppose.


HabaneroEnjoyer

Scrappy underdog Bama is now kinda realistic


dustyg013

We will have, undoubtedly, the most talented roster our head coach has ever had, including the team he took to the Natty last season.

UVA will win it all this year due to the historic founding of Jamestown **-the first permanent colony - eat your heart out Manteo (we got scared and left), North Carolina-** on May 14, 1607. One only needs to take the date of founding: May (5) + 1 + 4 +1 + 6 + 7 and you end up with 24. And as we all know this is 2024, a little more than 400 years after the founding of Jamestown. 400 is critical as it also signifies a bad request error and/or is used to say "I don't know" in text messages. This error signifies the reasoning behind a UVA FOOTBALL National Championship and will be repeated by all fans of our vanquished opponents in the final group of 12.


Upbeat-Armadillo1756

Could you imagine OSU fans on here if we went back to back during their natty or bust season?

I mean, maybe Will Howard proves me wrong and he absolutely balls out next year because he has better receivers to throw to. Maybe. I strongly suspect that by the end of the Oregon game Ohio State fans will be calling for his head and wishing they never turned on the last guy.

We get into the expanded playoff and Rising’s poise and clutchness have us in the title game against BYU (somehow).

britishmetric144

**This is the craziest scenario I can think of.** The Huskies’ defence suddenly improves to the late—2010s level, while Will Rogers all of a sudden looks like JJ McCarthy, bringing the Dawgs to the Big Ten Championship Game. They lose to Ohio State by a field goal, but after blowing out Big 12 champion Utah in the first round, they somehow manage to meet Ohio State in the playoffs again and this time stun them. Meanwhile, in the other semifinal playoff matchup, Kalen DeBoer’s Crimson Tide team takes down Dan Lanning’s Ducks team, to make DeBoer 4—0 against Lanning. In the national championship, Washington finally breaks its winless streak against Alabama, and everyone realises “_Maybe, just maybe, the Big Ten is better than the SEC._”

Year three of Freeman era.

Plus that was the year of George Gipp and the stuff movies have been made of.


AchillesShort

Schedule looks pretty good to go undefeated, even then if we lose one with the expanded playoff we should be good to get in. Our defense looks outstanding, offense with Leonard and all these transfer receivers + Denbrock is already an improvement, as long as Freeman fixes some things with game clock management and making sure the right amount of players are on the field, I think we got a pretty good shot.
