There are 3 eras in College Football:

 

Antique era (47 years)

6 November 1889 (Rutgers 6 - Princeton 4)

1 January 1936 (last games of the antique era - 1935 bowl games)

 

Golden era (48 years)

20 October 1936 (First AP Writer's Poll)

20 March 1984 (0u Regents v. NCAA argued)

 

Money era (30 years)

27 June 1984 (0u Regents 1 - NCAA 0)

6 January 2014 (last BCS final)

 

Modern era (<6 years)

27 August 2014 (first game of the Playoff era)

 

It took 30 years to figure out how to put 4 teams in a post-season bracket.  Their contingency plans are "wing it".

 

Looks like you might want to re-count your eras.

If the shit does hit the fan, I can think of one positive outcome.  We won't have to hear Beth Mowins voice!

Wow, I'm not surprised about the conference only.  i am VERY surprised they pushed it back to 9/26.  No chance they play a 12/19 title game.  Laughable.  

Why not start in August and finish by November?

WOW, they're starting 3-4 weeks later than other leagues and SEC champ game is Dec. 19?!?

I want to say good on them for giving the region more time to get its shit together re: virus. But I can't help but think it's mainly motivated by a desire to get fans in the stadium.

I'm actually very surprised by the conference only part. The ACC built in a plus one OOC and it was pretty much understood that it was added to preserve the annual rivalry games between acc/sec teams. 

How can I enjoy the Las Vegas Bowl if I have to keep an eye on Bama vs. Georgia at the same time?

Once again, the Big 12 will be in reactionary mode.

So, Big 12 and ACC going to do a conference challenge against each other to fill the plus 1, or just all cancel OOC or beat up on some directional school that is still playing football?

I support the conference challenge model, with OU playing Clemson and us taking on Duke.  

Well the Big 12 just cancelled virtual media days.  I'd say a new plan is coming. 

Awesome to watch Bowlsby lead from behind.

ACC adopted ND. Big 12 is left with the other independents.

LSU running from Texas.  Now we best BlowU and go undefeated and get a natty

It’ll be North Carolina. Heels win 52-10, we all get closure

Just cancel or postpone the season already. This garbage conference just got more gas thrown on the fire. Leave Waco to figure out how to pay to cover up rape for itself.

If Big 12 goes Conference +1, who will our +1 be? 

I'm guessing it has to be an in-state foe? 

UTEP?

Am i missing something here? Don't all facemasks attach to the helmet?

Now this would be glorious if our +1 is UTEP, Texas State, or a Rice while aggy gets to drop the likes of those teams and adds Florida and maybe a Kentucky.

Bowlsby was getting applauded for being patient just a week ago, now he's behind the curve.  Wonder if BYU buys it's way to play this one season in the conference... or maybe we just play one OOC game (vs Utep)

Doubt it. I assume C-USA will also go to all conference, and they have 14 teams so would not schedule out of conference (which lineages Rice and UTEP).  Sun Belt only has 10 football, so Texas State could be a possibility

FWIW, college football traditionally started at the end of September, and wrapped up at or before Thanksgiving.  Labor Day kickoffs are a 'tradition' invented for cable tv.

This would be way better than fucking December 19. Jesus 

This feels like the last years of the SWC

It has to be BYU, right? lol

Well fuck, I just agreed with Fat Ketch

Seems like BYU would be a fine add for a year. The Mormons have to be getting desperate by now - I think they've lost 6 games. Also, what a shitty year for them - easily the best schedule they'd been able to put together as an independent, with 6 P5 teams, and *poof*.

What are the odds every sec school finishes the regular season ranked? I’d imagine pretty high.

Utah, Michigan State, Arizona State, Minnesota, Missouri and Stanford all gone from the schedule.  There's really only one non-P5 school I look forward to playing and it's Boise State, atleast we still have them on the schedule (unless the MWC goes conference only).

We will play the same number of exhibition games that they do before the season is cancelled.

I assume Taysom Hill has the knee brace off is eligible, tan, rested, and ready after his latest injury redshirt and mission trip?

Add BYU this year plus the 9 conference games and start Aug. 29.  I thing waiting until the end of September is not smart.  Everyone is going to need some off weeks during the season this year.

New plan:  due to OOC games being cancelled, the Big 12 will expand our post round robin championship game to a best of 5 series between the 1st place team and the runner up.

With Bowlsby it will probably be a best of 5 series between the 1st place team and the last place team.

You misspelled aggy. 

I have ptsd from those BYU games I hope we don't play them to replace LSU. Fucking Taysom Hill gonna run through us again

Boy the SEC bitched out. Shocker. They went 1 game less than all others. Cant have that +1 oh hell no. C19 is a problem for them!

Is there a conference that isn't a partner with ESPN?
