Welcome to the season of change.
It's 2024, and if we're to believe the punditry, this will be unlike anything we've seen before in college football, which is saying something in a sport that had an interim coach drive an ATV out of a locker room just nine months ago. But it's true that 2024 will feel an awful lot different than years past. It's a season without Nick Saban or Jim Harbaugh, with a 12-team playoff and $20 million rosters. Texas and Oklahoma are in the SEC, the Pac-12 is divested throughout four different leagues, each half of football now comes with a two-minute timeout and for some reason chicken nuggets are now called "saucy nuggs.
