Florida State and Georgia Tech play the first major game of College Football in 2024, kicking off in Ireland on Saturday.
Georgia Tech is capable of keeping it closer than people think—but not for 4 quarters.
On today’s episode of Locked On College Football, I talk about SMU’s first-ever game as a member of the ACC.
What can they truly showcase against Nevada when they’re expected to win big?
Iowa went 10-2 last year before being outscored 61-0 in its final 2 games against Michigan and Tennessee.
Fans shouldn’t expect them to elevate themselves to be a Playoff team in 2024.
