@old_school posted:"national championship" with 2 conferences playing...that is funny.
3 P5 plus others and why not, the others refuse to play. Who is on top of polls at year end, possible split champion. Its "Old School", you should appreciate that. You don't play you can't win.
it will be similarly irrelevant as the NBA and the WS of 2020.
I would agree Old School if any of the other teams that are not playing were relevant. The teams that want to compete are the ones that are trying to make it work and if it does work, the others will look irrelevant.
I think baseball happens if football happens. If football happens, then basketball will happen, then baseball will happen. If football crashes then no basketball and probably no baseball. I still hold that the hysteria goes away after November 3rd. It doesn't mean the virus goes away but the hysteria does and we move on to some other problem. That depends on which one gets elected President.
I agree. You have to wonder how it is impacting recruiting for the conferences choosing to sit this one out.

Covid will be around for awhile, it really doesnt care who will be president in Nov 3, so lets not bring that into the discussion.
Also, I am pretty sure most 18, 19 , 20 year olds focusing on winning, really don't care, they just want to play, regardless of the sport.
It is a tremendous undertaking that these programs have taken. Hearing about preparing a baseball team first hand, I can't imagine how difficult it is for football. The players arrived back on campus months ago. We don't know what went wrong for some and not others.
I agree with Gunner, you dont play, you dont win, don't take a National Championship away from the programs that made it work. The Big 10 and Pac 12 should have thought long and hard last March how they would approach the situation and not have it unravel so quickly. The players made demands. Couldn't blame them, maybe things will change.
Clemson and Trevor Lawrence are gonna win anyway!
Go Tigers!!!

I am born and raised smack dab in the middle of Columbus and Ann Arbor. I grew up with the ten years war between Woody and Bo being "The Game" every year. As much as I want the big10 and midwest to matter, I deal in facts. The fact is no one outside the SEC and ACC, has won a CFP game since OSU won it all back in the 2014 season. Clemson is the only ACC team to have won a game.
We can pretty safely get a champion with the teams playing.

Hmmmm, there seems to be a team you are leaving out from the ACC....

Since the BCS began FSU and Clemson 2, Miami 1.

Miami’s was almost 20 years ago. FSU’s second was within 10 years

Florida State has been cancelled. Don’t you read the “news”?!?

No no one was left out. I wrote College Football Playoff(CFP), and didn't mention BCS. The CFP began in the 2014 season. Ohio state and Oregon each won games that year. No one other than the SEC and Clemson have won games in the last 5 College Football Playoffs. FSU lost their only College Football Playoff game, badly. Miami has never been there.

TPM you are usually very good on this stuff. I didn't write BCS, I wrote CFP, it began in 2014. Neither Miami or FSU have won CFP games. Clemson and OSU have been the only teams outside the SEC to win more than 1 game, Oregon won only one in 2014/15. The rest is all SEC.

My bad. Not as good at football as baseball. What was I thinking!
Doesn't matter if B10 tries to get back into the season. Clemson wins!
Seriously, I feel for the guys who want to get drafted. This whole thing is such a mess.

You are correct. I stated championships in the past 10 years and you switched to CFP and I didn’t catch that. Either way, I still think the teams should play it out. I wish the B1G were better as I despise the SEC. It would be nice to see a little change every couple of years.
The rules that are put into place are silly at times. The person who tested positive can be set free at 10 days while the secondary quarantine guys/gals have to stay in quarantine for 14 days. How can you make the ones who did not test positive stay longer than the ones who did?

It would appear they are factoring in an incubation period for those exposed but not testing positive. It is possible to have been exposed and the viral load has not reached a detectable level.
@22and25 is correct. Incubation period is, from all Indications, believed to be 2-14 days. So exposure to a positive-tested person means you need 14 days of quarantine.
And if you test positive, it’s not just 10 days, then you’re good. It’s 10 days from when symptoms first appeared, PLUS no fever for 24 hrs w/o use of meds to reduce it, PLUS symptoms are abating (other than loss of taste/smell).
The weird part is none had symptoms, either those that tested positive or those that were apartment mates. It is just weird that the ones who tested positive are free men before the ones who tested negative.
I wonder how the new CDC information out this weekend will affect college athletics?

PitchingFan we are hearing nothing about this new information from the CDC in the media and I doubt we will..if we do it will be spun and twisted. This news is HUGE and should change entirely the way we deal with covid 19...no wonder Sweeden is doing so well.
