College Football 2020

Normally I would be in full swing of summer prep reading and studying about all the teams and games, strengths and weaknesses, win totals, division and conference odds, game of year lines, camp reports. Just recently I have been paying a little more attention. Here are some updates: This is as of 8/7 AAC - Games will begin 9/19 with teams playing their 8 scheduled conference games on originally scheduled dates. Teams may schedule as many nonconference games as they want (up to 4 although 4 nonconference games seems unlikely). League title game will be played either 12/5, 12/12 or 12/19 at the home stadium of the regular season champion. ACC - Games will begin 9/10 with teams playing 10 conference games (2 more than originally scheduled) with 1 allowed nonconference game vs an instate school. The 1 nonconference game vs instate school allowance was believed to keep ACC vs SEC rivalries like Clemson vs South Carolina, Florida vs Florida State, Georgia Tech vs Georgia, Kentucky vs Louisville. After the ACC made their announcement, the SEC went conference only so those games will not happen, but I had read the singular nonconference opponent must be an instate of the ACC school, but Pitt may be keeping their game vs Mia(Oh) after moving it back a week. Divisions are abolished for this year, all 14 teams, plus Notre Dame, will compete in one division essentially for the league championship of which Notre Dame is eligible (ND will play an ACC 10 game schedule). League title game will be played either 12/12 or 12/19 in Charlotte. Big Ten - Games will begin 9/3 with teams playing 10 games vs only conference opponents. Games will be vs the original scheduled 9 opponents, plus one other cross division team, although previous dates have been substantially changed (Michigan - Ohio State is now 10/24 for instance rather than the original Saturday after Thanksgiving). It has been said that as many as 41 of the 70 can be rescheduled if necessary without effecting the other games. League title game will be played either 12/5, 12/12 or 12/19 in Indianapolis. Big Xll - It has not been announced when week 1 will be, speculated to be mid to late September with teams playing all 9 conference teams plus 1 nonconference opponent. League Title game will be played either 12/5, 12/12 or 12/19 at Cowboy Stadium (Jerry World). Conference USA - No official statement. It is believed their games will start in early September against the 8 regularly scheduled conference opponents. Teams may schedule as many nonconference games as they want (up to 4 although 4 nonconference games seems unlikely). One example, Middle Tennessee State may play a home-and-home with out of conference opponent Troy. I am not aware of CUSA's leage title game plans at the moment. Mid American Conference - No agreement as school Presidents met on Thursday and plan to meet again Saturday. The MAC had 11 games scheduled vs Big Ten this year and combined, the total payout the MAC is losing is $10.5 million. The MAC filed a lawsuit related to those cancellations and the economic losses as part of it. 80-85% of MAC school athletic department funding comes from football. Mountain West - Games will begin 9/26 with teams playing 8 conference games and an option of up to 2 nonconference games. Some have reported this model was put in place to allow Air Force to compete against their Commander-in-Chief Trophy rivals to still play. League title game will be played either 12/5, 12/12 or 12/19. PAC-12 - Games will begin 9/26 with teams playing 10 games only vs conference opponents. League title game will be played either 12/18 or 12/19 at the home stadium of a league team (had formerly been planned at Las Vegas Raiders new stadium). SEC - Games will begin 9/26 with teams playing a 10 game schedule only vs conference opponents while retaining the two division East West model. As of this morning, the full 10 game schedule for each team was not announced. League title game to be played 12/19 in Atlanta. Sun Belt - Games will begin 9/3 with teams playing an 8 game schedule vs conference opponents and scheduling as many nonconference games as they want up to 4 (although having 4 seems unlikely). League title game is still slated for 12/5, but can be adjusted if necessary. In other news: The NCAA board of directors announced each division would make their own decision regarding fall sports. Division ll and lll canceled. Division l (IA/FBS and lAA/FCS) set a 8/21 deadline for their decision. Some PAC12 players put forth a "We Are United" campaign for 50% revenue sharing, pay cuts for staff and administrators, name image and likeness control and health and safety protocols. Some players from the Big Ten and Mountain West have done something similar, except their requests focus on health and safety rather than revenue sharing and compensation. Players are able to opt out of the 2020 season due to health concerns and still retain their eligibility and scholarships. Some high profile name...

Took the over. Only covered by a point but a win is a win. 😀 And it was covered for almost the whole fourth quarter.

Everything in Moderation. Including Moderation.

The 28 point 2nd Q by Bama and Mac Jones fumble killed the total pretty much.
