The 2024 college football season is ushering in significant changes, most notably the expansion of the College Football Playoff from four to 12 teams, which is expected to enhance competition and excitement. The TCU Horned Frogs, with QB Josh Hoover returning after a mixed freshman season, aim to return to contention in the Big 12 and nationally, despite several key player transitions. Major conference realignments are taking place, such as Texas and Oklahoma joining the SEC, and USC and Stanford moving to the Big Ten and ACC, respectively, adding to the unpredictability of the season. Unranked teams like Boise State, Virginia Tech, and Iowa State are poised to break into the rankings, while traditionally strong teams like Michigan may struggle due to significant roster and coaching changes. The season kicks off on August 24, marking the beginning of what many believe could be a golden age for college football.
