2024 Season Prediction Thread

[PurpleOil]

I think we go 11-1, win the CCG, get a bye, win that game, lose semis to UGA or w/e by 2+ TDs. We use that as motivation for our year next year when Avery wins Heisman and we go 16-0

I would consider sacrificing my first born to make this happen.


Have we obtained any receivers that can run routes and catch balls yet? I feel like that's going to have a bigger impact than our OL this year.

I think we have our best WR group since Lockett.

I think it largely hinges on Johnson being healthy and the Penn State transfer being more like he was in the MAC and less like he was in the Big Ten last year.

Do we have a single receiver over 6 ft? (serious question)

Almost all WRs we expect to play significantly are at least listed at 6 ft.  Spivey is the tallest at 6'4" although I'm expecting he's more rotational than starter.

2016 had Byron Pringle and Deonte Burton and they both played in the NFL.  That's probably the last WR group we had that was definitively better than this one.

[meow meow]

Burton played defense in the nfl, guy wasn't a good receiver.

I'm surprised Pringle is still in the league since he was 26 when he got drafted. Just looked him up and it looks like he played in all 17 games for Washington last year with 14 receptions for 161 yards.

Had significantly better stats at WR than Zuber (also made an NFL team)

Ngl a WR doing meh in the big 10 unless it's tOSU is like whatever to me. They barely throw the ball forward

I kind of expect Alabama to take a step back without Saban. Would be sort of surprised to see them get the 5 seed.

They had the same starting five for like three years. It’s weird and I’m a little concerned about the growing pains we should expect.

Texas is going to take over the SEC.  I expect A&M to start looking to the big 10 or B12 for an escape route.

This and AJ will be in NYC for the Heisman ceremony this year

I'm concerned too but I felt like there was pretty decent rotating which will help some.  Lord knows Leveston went down once a game for at least a series.

Saw him in games a few times, mostly doing kick returns.

Guys, I think we go undefeated then lose the Big 12 Championship to a dark horse Big 12 team, then lose our first game in the CFB playoffs. Eerily similar to 1998.

I hate to be a Debbie downer, but I don’t think the Big 12 will be a lock to get a 1 loss conference CCG loser into the playoff.

TCU was a literal lock before we beat their ass in the Dr pepper and that with the 4 game playoff.

A 12-1 Big12 team with their only loss being in the Dr pepper will be in the 12 team playoff.

Correct, it would be pretty damn unlikely for 2 teams to not get in. SEC/big 10 will have 3, us and ACC 2, and then a G5 and polly ND will be the norm

I hope this is the norm, but unfortunately, I think the SEC will get at least four or five in most years

I don't understand why an SEC team would get in with a record the same as big 10 or Big XII.  They play four out of conference toadstools and a couple of bottom feeders and feel their SOS is harder.  LOL

Logic and reason has not shown to be the determining factors in playoff selection.

True, very true!  I'm not too fond of their squirming and belly-aching about how tough their schedule is with only four to five strong teams.
