According to Dan Patrick: "Big 10 and Pac 12 will cancel their football seasons tomorrow... The ACC and the Big 12 are on the fence.. And the SEC is trying to get teams to join them for a season."

 
So if the SEC plays, will others wish for COVID-19 casualties to wag their finger in disapproval and justify the decision of others to not play? Or will it give the college football world something to cheer about during an otherwise dismal Fall (Antifa riots, election-year politics, and pandemic fear-mongering). Which group will you be in? I'll be in the latter.

This wraps it up. There is no point in playing without a championship to award, and they cannot award a championship with multiple of the power 5 conferences cancelling the season.

This effectively ended the CFB season.

I have to disagree. A championship can be awarded to the best team on the day that a championship game is played. If it’s an SEC championship, it’s still a championship. If only 1 other conference plays, there will be a game between the 2 for an overall champion.

I will be embracing those who play. If the SEC shut it down, but the ACC played I would pick a team to root for and follow.

Goodness, the media is licking their lips at the thought of dozens of college football players lying dead from Covid.

Think of the great discussions this would create. It would be decades of arguing over the legitimacy of the seasons results.

The problem with the ACC is Clemson and FSU really want to play, Syracuse/BC/Pitt probably not so much and the rest of the conference falling somewhere in between.
 
So there will be no official CFB Championship, correct? How can you have a legitimate champion if 2 huge conferences are out?
 
Yep. Just ridiculous
Hopefully SEC can get other two conferences to join for a season
You couldn't get consensus if we should play Clemson this year, despite SEC setting a 10 conference only schedule, but you think teams from another conference are going to go Pell Mell and defy their own conference mandate ?

This would be a illegitimate mess ridiculed by everyone who cares about the sport. Absolutely no purpose in doing it, and it opens the door for extreme liability concerns for whatever conferences push forward despite the fact other major conferences of comparable size and import have cancelled their seasons. Let’s say the SEC forges on, has a season and after the first game an OK from one team contracts the virus, after testing negative prior to the game, and he dies. The SEC would be sued into oblivion. Never in a million years would the put themselves up for that liability, never. If there was a central authority making the decision for all conferences and the Feds would issue a no litigation policy exemption... Then perhaps. In light of these cancelations there is absolutely no way we get this done..

It is not like anyone in those conferences were going to win anyway. They are just playoff whipping boys.
 
If the SEC is the only conference that plays, we should end up in the top 20. -- Mr Brightside
Ha! Top 10, what you talking about?

Would be interesting to see people cheer for the Gamecock from coast to coast, because there’s literally nothing else on. You could conceivably have Justin Beiber sing at the halftime of USC versus Arkansas.

There are ways to get it done. Looking at it through the players eyes, most want to play and are trying to leverage playing into other considerations. These are not uninformed kids making random decisions.

For most (if not all), playing is safer than being sent home. They will get tested at least 2 times a week, get proper medical care paid for by the Universities, get all the proper care, nutrition, etc... If there is no season, all that goes away.

I would bet that if the SEC said that we are playing, other conferences would as well. You may even see some change their stance. Even if it was just 2 conference’s, the financial windfall from tv and recruiting exposure would be tremendous.

Complete fantasy. I mean this is worse than a man / woman / can "transform" into something else fantasy.....

CFB 2020, not happening.

Bingo. Winner winner, chicken dinner. ----- Man jumps out of plane without a parachute -- Death by Covid.
Remember to thank a commie today for all this nonsense.

You just explained why CFB 2020 will not happen ----- It makes entirely too much EFFING sense....... what you said.

Again, this isn't about a "virus" and it's not about "player health." This is all about Nov. 3.
 
Haha! Destroying EVERYTHING for something with a 99+% recovery. Pathetic

I saw a release from Johns Hopkins that was somewhat nefarious. They showed 367 deaths per 1 million infected in the USA...... that's it. Nothing more, nothing less. Just "these are the numbers."

Now......as fate would have it, I can do math. The survival rate is 99.9633%.........according to that Johns Hopkins report. (You look for it, I'll never find it again)

People have had worse paper cuts. This is complete nonsense.

I know ... it’s all political and cya because the media has made virus talk into the new porn.

Trevor Lawrence (of all players) is speaking about the common sense behind playing. The benefits, the logic, the better medical care, the more testing, etc... Others have been chiming in as well.

But, it may turn more political because Trump retweeted Lawrence’s with an encouragement to play this season. Ergo people will now protest louder.

I'm with you .. Hell, there will be people on this board waiting for the first Covid positive case so they can lecture Everyone about how right they are...
