2020 College Football

[PillsburyDoughboy]

Ok lets kick it off..at least for now.

ALABAMA at #3. Ill take it considering who that voted #1. Laughable at best.

No way in Hades is Georgia going to be that High up at the end of season. LSU will be lucky to be in the top 10 at the end of the season.

Im actually shocked they did not put auburn up higher. They always over rate auburn in these darn things and its so stupid. Probably not a bad place for them to be starting out.

Looks like vols moved up some this year. Last year this time they were what? 52 or something? Progress.

Lol what were you saying about LSU and Auburn last year? Were they overrated then?

 

[Jon54]

My hope is they cancel college football.

 

[EastTNHunter]

Ya know, that's why they play the games...

This season, if it happens, is going to be so crazy with atypical and shortened preparation/conditioning, distractions, and tons of unknowns. I'm not about to make predictions, although I'm cautiously optimistic about my Dawgs and I really expect UT to take a step forward.

My hope is they cancel college football.

You may be one step closer

They actually announced that several days ago

auburn was at best in the high 20 team . Wound up in 14th at the end of the season . Without the win of ALABAMA they would have been in that 25 range .

LSU just had themselves a QB that was unstoppable. ALABAMA matched them the most evenly and gave them a run for their money and that was with a QB on crutches .

2020 all bets are off really . Players not being able to be fully conditioned . Perhaps a shortened season . Who knows what happens . I suspect a * by this years Natty if there is one .

Yes,,the article I screen shot earlier in the day when I was on FB from my phone cut out a good chunk of the article mainly dealing with the SEC reaction. I wanted everyone to be able to see the SEC reaction to the story.

I seriously doubt that there is college football this fall. I'm not sure I will watch it even if there is.

Yeah at this point I can't imagine we have a normal season. I don't think the Ivy League decision will have too much impact on what the fbs schools do but who knows. If I had to guess I'd say it'll start out on some sort of modified deal where conferences make their own decisions. It'll quickly turn into a cluster and will get postponed somewhere mid season.
I think too much money to go ahead & cancel. Basketball & baseball are one thing but the wheels really come off if they don't play football.

Conference play only makes sense at this point then have conferences battle for a Natty with a * . You definitely will not have a 2020 National Champion this year in the normal sense .

Yup if there is a season at all looks like it will be 9 or 10 games conference games only. Think the big 10 already said conference games only.

I guess they could still be a conference champion, but they would not really be a national champ.

 

[redblood]

I dont think it will happen. Dominos are starting to fall. Pro athletes are opting out left and right. With all the protesting and blm crap, i pray none of them play.

"Tuscaloosa Mayor Walt Maddox stated in the spring that a year without Crimson Tide football would mean a loss of $2 billion to the city."

 

[gator-n-buck]

Will be interesting for sure.... Love the Gators at #8 and they can easily be a top 5 team.

 

[Displaced_Vol]

Haven't heard or read anything in the last couple weeks that make me think any better about the 2020 fall season.
Heard several UT athletes are positive, but theres been no expansion on that, at least that I've seen.
At this rate I think I'll be fine to skip it too. Hell I've made it this long.

 

[gator-n-buck]

More players at UT are catching felonies then the coronavirus.... :rotf:

 

[PillsburyDoughboy]

We gonna run out of things to talk about this fall without college football but its looking like the handwriting is on the wall that there is not going to be a season.

I don't know what yall are reading but as of yesterday. All 5 major conferences have plans to play ball, as of yesterday, only the Pack 12 has plans to alter the schedule.

 

[BamaProud]

I'm not saying the season will be normal, probably no bowls(only playoff) maybe only conference games, but there will be both college and NFL games in 2020. I've never watched NFL, so that doesn't matter to me...and if College football follows the political nonsense that the Pro leagues have, I'll gladly turn that off too...but games will be played.

Don't get your hopes up yet. Some players are wondering why it hasn't been called off yet. Teams can't field a team if they have several players test positive and everyone else is in quarantine. It's far from certain either way at this point

I think the conferences are being so bullish on it so they can keep the TV revenues on the hook as long as possible.

Of course they are. Same with the pro leagues. The difference is, many colleges won't survive without football/basketball related income.

That's a good point. Certainly a lot of their athletics won't. It will be interesting to see how they try & get this done.
