2022 College Football Discussion & Pick'em Thread

[Terry the Fat Shark]

Are we starting on August 27, September 2, or September 3?

If it's any of the dates before September 3, there are some interesting games to pick from, such as Nebraska/Northwestern, West Virginia/Pittsburgh, Penn State/Purdue and Illinois/Indiana and TCU/Colorado.

Either the 27th or the 1st

[Terry the Fat Shark]

Putting the schedule up shortly so people can get a headstart especially since it basically spans 2 weeks as well.

Note: I will put pre-season AP rankings on there as well when they come out (tomorrow)

[Terry the Fat Shark]

Illinois @ Indiana 8 PM EDT FS1

Double pick.

Both teams are so bad I am predicting a 0-0 tie

fixed

[Terry the Fat Shark]

Whoever made that list for Sept 3rd dun ed up!

Where's the TROJANS?

Everyone would've picked USC lol I only put competitive games on here (or games that could be somewhat interesting at least)

[Terry the Fat Shark]

Some good games on right now, Purdue up 24-21 over Penn State and we know Pitt is up 38-31 but WVU driving...

Great news, but they should implement it for this year or at least 2023 instead of waiting for 2024.

Sounds like they are shooting for 2024 but it's possible it wont even happen until 2026

[Terry the Fat Shark]

Game that sort of flew under my radar --- Virginia Tech trails Old Dominion 10-7 at halftime

[Terry the Fat Shark]

ODU up 20-17 on Virginia Tech with 33 seconds left lol

[Terry the Fat Shark]

UNC and NC State both survive upsets by 1 point.....

[Terry the Fat Shark]

It's been one week and it looks like we already have a conference eliminated from the playoff. #3 Georgia destroying #11 Oregon and taking the PAC-12's best hopes with them 49-3.

Utah is #7? Also USC gets in probably even with 1 loss and could do it with their new coach and offense (COULD)

I'm not entirely convinced Utah beats Florida tonight, and I don't think the PAC-12 South winner beats Oregon in the Conference title game.

Pac 12 actually changed its rules I believe, top 2 in the conference overall play in the pac 12 ccg, no more divisions

That starts this season? I thought that change took effect when USC and UCLA officially left.

Yeah it starts this year, it's because NCAA made changes

[Terry the Fat Shark]

Utah choke

[Terry the Fat Shark]

I repeat myself. The PAC-12's playoff chances are dead, and week one hasn't even ended yet.

USC still a thing, we'll see

[Terry the Fat Shark]

Working on next week's pick slate, not such a good slate especially compared to this week!

Florida at #12 is uhhh...odd...to me. Looks like a setup for a "top 10 game" at the cocktail party where Georgia will be favored by 20. It also feels like they have no idea what to do outside the top 3.

Also setting up USC to be in the playoff if they can only lose 1 game or less since they are back in the top 10 on brand
