College Football Playoff announces updated COVID-19 policies, forfeit rules for 2021 postseason
The recent surge in COVID-19 cases due to the Omicron variant has led to changes to the College Football Playoff and its policies moving forward.
Comments
Playoff Semifinals (Cotton and Orange Bowls) if three teams are unavailable to play – The semifinal game in which two teams are unable to play would be declared “no contest.” In the other semifinal game, the team unable to play shall forfeit the game and its opponent would be declared CFP National Champion.
This is the dumbest part of the rules, why not move the games to a later date? Crown someone just because the other 3 can't play. That's a cheap shot to the rest of CFB nation.
I'm really not trying to be funny, but does it seem like they're hoping that Alabama is the last team standing??
I mean, if I read your email right...good grief. Jan. 10 plus 10 days or so is still way before the Super Bowl.
Kinda hoping none of the semifinal games can be played purely to rob Sagan of a chance at another Natty. I know it’s spiteful but if no one else can beat him maybe covid can. Lmao.
Hate to say it but just another reason there shouldn't be SO many weeks between games. I mean, heck, the FCS has already played their quarter and semi-final games with the final 2 teams set. Last man standing wins!!
I don't understand why the championship would only be vacated if both teams are unable to play. Who wants to be champion by default? It's an oxymoron. No one is ever going to recognize it as a *real* title.
I agree 100%
This is total and complete bs.
Here's one for you: What does "unable to play" mean? Are we looking at a natty decided by two scout teams playing each other? And what's up w/Jimbo Fisher? Can't field a team or doesn't want to play w/o his stars and get beat?
This is more than dumb. If any of the four teams is unable to play on December 31, reschedule both games for another date. If that cannot serve for full participation, either give all four teams a 0.25 CFP championship declaration or better, void the championship for this year. No team who has made it this far should be removed from competition for the CFP due to Covid.
Let’s hope UGA is healthier than the other 3 teams, then maybe we might have a chance to win the NC after 41 years without play a game!🙌🏻
Boy, Jacksonville is going to lose a lot of money. I think that if a team can field 22 players, they should play. I'd like to get the scoop on A&M. What about it crack reporters?
Dawgnation.com is owned by the AJC and whoever owns them(Cox enterprises) and censorship is alive and well.
Absurd! C19 is here to stay IMO. Just like we continue to go about our lives with all the other threats from diseases, such as the flu, we need to do the same with Covid. (At least based on my understanding that the Flu can be as deadly as Covid as well as many other disease threats that we live with every day.) All caused by the government and media creating artificial hysteria over Omicron making weak people panic and take **** actions like this by the CFP.
