***2024-25 CFB Playoff/Bowl (Dec. 17-Jan. 20) Games Thread***

They never will but the first two rounds absolutely need to be on campus. This atmosphere is legit.

Excited to see OSU/Tenn tomorrow.

You'd think that would help fans financially to at least fill up stadiums.

Even if it's two games in a row, local sickos will gladly throw down for that vs. spending thousands for two games.

But that would make too much sense.

ND with a td here to put this away. Calling it now.

 

[FriendlySpartan]

That is unbelievable. ND had 3 minutes and the ball after half. You could looking at 28-3 before you blink.

I’d be turning tables over if CMC did that in a playoff game.

Wants to avoid the shutout, I get it lol

 

[isufbcurt]

That;s a catch

 

[fsanford]

That's a catch. The expert on TV is blind saying it wasnt

The first two rounds would be good as that would prevent a school from hosting two games in a row. So it wouldn’t be a situation where a team would get a huge advantage for multiple rounds. But that wouldn’t be the case if they go to 14 or 16.

But that would mean the major bowls (Rose, Fiesta, Cotton, Sigar) would cease to exist. So no, that won’t ever happen.

Not a catch a in any league. Does not surprise at all

Those bowls don’t matter so I could see happening

Ball can hit the ground as long as the receiver had control.

A good example of this is the ASU catch against us in the Big 12 Champ game.

The ESPN rules “expert” is usually wrong. He is terrible

Bowls matter if you get the right sponsor/mascot!

 

[isufbcurt]

I am assuming Anneas Williams is the NFL HOF CB Anneas Williams' son?

 

[FriendlySpartan]

These announcers are wild “doesn’t slam him to the ground” while showing a replay doing exactly that lol

 

[Clark]

Why did ND call the timeout with so much time left?

 

[cycloneG]

That was intentional grounding

Yeah that was odd

 

[Clark]

That was intentional grounding

I thought so too live

 

[cytor]

What is IUs best win? They seem to have benefited from a weak schedule.

And 8 home games

 

[HFCS]

7 home games
4 neutral (with 1-2 more possible)
3 road games

That’s what ND is looking at if this holds. Wild.

The mind is the first thing to go!

I was referencing the 2022 game @ Iowa State won by the good guys 43-10. Mr. Rourke was 20/33 for 194 yards, 1 TD and 2 Ints that day.

Updated the original post for accuracy!

Gotcha!
