[Discussion] Thoughts on the 2024 season so far (fanaticus.social)

With all the talking heads on TV proclaiming that this season is unlike any other, I'm curious how the community feels. Totally new landscape of CFB or just more of the same? How do we all feel about:

Helmet communication (for only 1 player on the field per team except on free kicks)
Tablets on the sidelines (up to 18 per team)
The 2 minute timeout
Corporate logos on fields (no longer requires the stadium to be named after the sponsor)
New homes for Arizona, ASU, Cal, CU, Oregon, ou, SMU, Stanford, Texas, UCLA, USC, Utah, Washington
Expanded playoff (probably too early to tell on this one)
New TV deals (SEC on ABC, B1G on CBS)
Current season of Fansville (Ewers could be a Heisman candidate but he sure won't be winning any Oscars)

For reference, here are the P4 vs P4 records so far:

ACC: 6-8
B1G: 5-5 (or 5-6 if counting ND)
Big XII: 5-6
SEC: 8-5 (or 8-6 if counting ND)

None of it makes sense in any sort of fairness sense, but it is a prestigious invitational tournament, and when it comes down to it, most fans found bowls and 1-2 BCS even more unsatisfying. I care more about watching playoffs than I do about watching random bowls.

That's fair, I guess my view has always been about Saturdays in the fall. Even as a kid (~early 00s) I cared more about the florida game any given year and less about our bowl or the nccg.
