2020 College Football Discussion and Pick 'Em Thread

[GeorgiaModerate]

Maryland-Ohio State is canceled (will not be rescheduled) and Georgia-Missouri has been postponed.

[NewYorkExpress]

The NCAA should really consider stepping in and telling conferences "no, you can't finish the season".

This is getting ridiculous.

This is getting ridiculous.

If the rate of cancellations continues to increase, that will probably happen, but I don't think we're there yet.

Between hurricanes/work and the election my ability to pay attention to football is about down to nothing at this point.  Not that my picks were greatly informed to begin with, but it'd be like throwing darts at a board at this point.

Not like there's football to pay attention to at this rate...

[Donerail]

And down goes Utah-UCLA, with too many positive tests on Utah's side. Cal will play UCLA at 9am () Sunday morning.

[Never Made it to Graceland]

OSU has been playing great but I was talking to my dad earlier and we don't think this season is going to finish. It's a shame because BYU and Cincy are having historic seasons and it's also sad to waste poor seasons from TTUN and PSU.

It really shouldn't (and the NCAA was smart about things they'd cancel the basketball season before it even starts.)

Yeah I see that as incredibly unlikely to happen. Trying to start in the midst of a record surge, indoors? Nah.

North Carolina trailed Wake Forest 45-24 and came back to win 59-53.

[Santander]

WTF is going on in the Big Ten East? It's supposed to be the most stacked division, but most teams are an absolute shambles.

[NewYorkExpress]

I can't believe both Indiana/Ohio State and Wisconsin/Northwestern (assuming Northwestern hangs on against Purdue) are going to be relevant to  the College Football Playoff.

It'll be hilarious if Indiana and Northwestern win those games.

If those go in the pick'em, I might just make those picks.

Two all-time losingest FBS programs. Mostly a result of being mediocre programs that are old as dirt, but still.
