Two of the biggest moves in college football conference realignment history went into effect July 1 when Texas and Oklahoma became official members of the SEC, and more groundbreaking changes are on the horizon as the 10 departing Pac-12 schools make their arrivals in the Big Ten, Big 12 and ACC official Aug. 1. While the movement brings to an end countless traditions, it also begins an exciting new era with mega-conferences, new rivalries and thrilling races to the expanded College Football Playoff.
Perhaps the most exciting element of conference realignment is the countless new matchups it places on the 2024 college football schedule. Between the rekindling of old rivalries, highly-anticipated battles between national championship contenders and intriguing matchups between some of the sport’s best players, this campaign promises to be one of the most exciting to date.
Two games in particular stand out as must-see action as potential playoff champions Ohio State and Oregon, and Georgia and Texas, meet each other in the regular season.
