I wonder what makes this next stretch that much more different than when the season began. The situation is a lot worse now, and will continue to get worse for the next couple months yet - but it just seems odd to me.

They make an interesting albeit bold prediction - 1/3rd of private schools will either have to close or merge in the next few years. I don't see that happening personally, but I do think the closures will trickle in at a higher rate than they otherwise would have.

Iowa pauses workouts because of Covid-19 cases within their program. But they're hoping the Music City Bowl will be played.

When bowls start acting like bowels, get rid of them.
Apparently, that contract prevented Army from getting an opportunity outside of Shreveport. The mass opt outs by the Pac 12 teams all but doomed the Knights getting their opportunity this season as the Independence Bowl cancelled this season's edition.
If this doesn't tell you that the Four Letter Nitwits in Bristol have WAY too much power over the college football postseason, then I don't know what does.

Oh yes. Enjoyed seeing it happen. Glad that Ball State came out of nowhere to win the MAC too. Iowa State had been the feel good story of the season, but now that belongs to the Spartans.
How about a Cincinnati, Coastal Carolina, and SJSU D1 playoff? Throw a one loss Indiana in there. Put some new blood in there instead of the same old same old bias. It would be more interesting.Last edited by crixus; 12-20-2020, 05:08 PM.
