Yeah, they're not worried about injury risk.
They're worried about "one additional loss."
50% of their conference is guaranteed to get a loss in that extra game, and it's not always going to be the "worse" team that gets the loss.
Keep in mind this 8 game conference schedule is just for the 2024 season and they will revisit it for 2025 and beyond. And as I mentioned earlier, hopefully they go to 9 games at that point.
Finishing 6-6 with a trip to the Acid Reflux Bowl is a looked at much differently for many programs than 5-7 and the Holidays at home.
And we have seen over recent years a few examples of teams knocked out of the playoff by a late season loss to a good but not great conference opponent.
Yep. Half their conference was 5-7, 6-6, or 7-5 last year. The “depth” of the SEC looks a bit difference if those teams are 4-8, 5-7, and 6-6 while 3-4 teams who made bowls end up missing one.
Guy’s last name sounds like a Middle Eastern pastry.
And UCLA goes to Rutgers. However, USC @ Penn State and Michigan @ USC are both going to be 10m-15m+ viewer games, which is exactly what FOX, NBC and CBS are paying billions for. Hell, Wisconsin @ USC is easily a 4m+ viewer game as will Ohio State @ UCLA and UCLA @ Michigan.USC is flying off to Indiana, Illinois, Maryland, and Pennsylvania.
That conference is doing it right. 9 conference games, 3 permanent rivals with 6 rotating. Best matchups every week on FOX, CBS and prime time NBC just like the NFL setup. From a pure CFB fan standpoint, the B1G is going to be awesome in 2024
You can cue those "Texas is back" memes just for the fun of it but Ewers is killing it this offseason after winning the QB job over Arch Manning during the spring. I'm sure OU will be right there to challenge the Longhorns in their final season of Big 12 play.
Ranking the 10 best college football quarterbacks heading into the 2023 season
From Heisman winners to fifth-year seniors, this is the final voting from our writers on the top 10 quarterbacks ahead of the coming season.
CU has to face three of those top 10 QBs this season in Williams, Nix, and Rising. Could be a fun season to watch.
CU won’t see him unless UW makes the P12 championship game.
Big 12 here they come
Love to see teams moving to an on campus stadium especially after playing in an NFL stadium. It obviously doesn't happen very often but Minnesota is another one that comes to mind. SDSU too although I don't think their new stadium is on campus. Also CSU.
There's been some talk about Miami building either an in campus stadium or one very close to campus but that seems to have stalled.
SDSU is annexing or has annexed the land where the former Chargers stadium stood so you could say it is "on campus".
MLS also just awarded San Diego the 30th MLS franchise and will play at Snapdragon Stadium.
Did Brian Kelly walk into a Lane Kiffin/USC situation?
heh - the nubs are going to struggle to get to .500 in 2025. Probably their most difficult schedule in school history - including the old big 8 days when CU and OU were top 15 teams.
And, the best thing is it will give them an excuse to stick another year with a failing coach. "Yeah, he didn't make a bowl in year 3, but it was NU's most difficult schedule in history."

Ryan Mallett, former Arkansas QB and NFL'er dead at 35.
Drowned. Hearing he was caught in a riptide.

Swim parallel to shore, then once you're out of the current swim back to shore.
I've seen riptides from the air, they look scary.
I was also caught in a weak one on a beach in Mexico when I was in 6-7 year old range. A strong swimmer literally saved my life.
That experience served as serious motivation to be an ideal student at future summer swim lessons. Looking back, I find it interesting that it didn't make me shorebound for life. I have zero idea what it was that tipped me one way or the other, because now I can see that it could easily have gone the other way.

I read that and was shocked by that number. People are disregarding the warnings they're putting out about the riptides.
