***2023-24 College Football Thread***

So watching USC tonight. Are we sure Caleb Williams is all that good? With these receivers they have, it just seems you can chuck it up and they’ll go get that ball. If this backup can throw 4 TDs in a half, has Williams ever really had to read a defense and adjust like he’ll have to do in the NFL?

How long do you think it before the first player opts out of a college football playoff game when they expand to 12 teams?
1st yr if they are in the last 4 teams, and they have a chance to be drafted high.

Was he that great when he was at OU???? I’m sure the bears will draft him, keep fields and trade away their other pick for some shmo off the streets. They had the top two friggin picks earlier in the year and decided to **** that up before the draft.

ESPN announcers are contractually obligated to mention how many players aren’t playing for the SEC team

I’m not sure it’s contractual. But for sure it’s coming down from their bosses. Their absurd TV contracts rely on the SEC being seen as the undisputed top of CFB. The ESPN bosses know they still control the narrative for now, so they will use that to get people to believe what they want them to.

If a lot of the SEC starters are not playing, the backups sure are crap. They are not as good as perceived.

A lot of recruiting stars attached to those backups. TAMU has been near the top of recruiting rankings for several years. So these backups aren’t exactly development players.
