2021-2022 NCAA Football Season Thread

Congrats to the 2020-2021 champions: Alabama (FBS), Sam Houston State University (FCS), Lindsey Wilson (NAIA), Ottawa (NAIA Women's Flag), and the Kwansei Gakuin Fighters (the Japan American Football Association). Division II and Division III were canceled this past season due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The 2021-2022 FBS season kicks off on the last Saturday of August, with the bigger season kick-off games being held the following week: Ohio State vs. Minnesota, Georgia vs. Clemson, Boise State vs. UCF, Alabama vs. Miami, Penn State vs. Wisconsin, and more.

Some Labor Day weekend game times announced:

 

Go Dawgs, Knights, and BR

 

Go Jackets I guess. Win more than 3 this time plz.

 

Sub

Go Dawgs and a lot more PAC-12 After Dark for me this season

 

BR?

 

GBR - Go Big Red haha.

 

Go Cyclones!

 

It’s always puzzling to me that the Labor Day game is not a bigger matchup. I’ll watch, but Louisville/Ole Miss is a big yawn lol

 

@koryoreo at least one unique aspect of it is that it's a first ever matchup between Louisville and Ole Miss

The 7 best first-ever matchups in college football in 2021

It surprises me that Wisconsin has never played Army.

 

Roll Dame, Go Dawgs.

 

PRE-SEASON POSITIONAL RANKINGS:

Quarterbacks:

1. Sam Howell, North Carolina
2. Carson Strong, Nevada
3. Brennan Armstrong, Virginia
4. Desmond Ridder, Cincinnati
5. Phil Jurkovec, Boston College

Small School Guys Worth Watching - Dustin Crum (Kent State), Joe ***nano (Maine), Kaleb Eleby (Western Michigan), Layne Hatcher (Arkansas State)

JT Daniels, Jayden Daniels, and Kedon Slovis should make a leap this year. Tanner Morgan could be incredibly intriguing if he looks like he did in 2019. Dillon Gabriel and Myles Brennan idk what to do with.

Runningbacks:

1. Breece Hall, Iowa State
2. Jerrion Ealy, Mississippi
3. Isaiah Spiller, Texas A&M
4. Wesley Kennedy III, Georgia Southern
5. Sincere McCormick, UTSA

Also like Chris Rodriguez (Kentucky), Tyler Allgeier (BYU), Zonovan Knight (NC State), Jordan Mason (Georgia Tech), Kenneth Walker III (Michigan State), DeAndre Torrey (North Texas), and Zamir White (Georgia)

Haven't looked at but I've heard Ty Chandler's name thrown around. Mohamed Ibrahim and Master Teague are kind of underwhelming to me rn so I wanna see a jump from them. Brian Robinson is an Alabama back so I'm sure he's good but can't imagine he's a Najee.

Wide Receivers:

1. Chris Olave, Ohio State
2. Justyn Ross, Clemson*
3. George Pickens, Georgia*
4. David Bell, Purdue
5. Treylon Burks, Arkansas

Wan'Dale Robinson (Kentucky) is a guy I think could make a serious jump this year. Too many receivers to list honorable mentions.

Kickers/Punters:

Whoever is playing in the state of Georgia

 

Been thinking about how the 2021 Draft pretty much took all of the CFB stars. Like, this year feels like a total reset and I'm so here for it.

 

@Night Channels

 

Lotta talk about Arik Gilbert and Derion Kendrick landing at UGA.

Go Dawgs.

 

USC’s Drake Jackson and TAMU’s DeMarvin Leal are the only big omissions I see

 

South Carolina RB Kevin Harris is really good too

 

There’s one he forgot that I was really surprised by but I can’t remember who it was lol

 

Nevada TE Cole Turner and USC WR Drake London

These are my favorite preseason skill guys

 

Rattler?

 

That’s actually not the one I was thinking of but definitely a really good choice
