"Hopefully the CFP committee will do its job and watch the games and pick the four best teams according to how they look on the field. If a Big Ten team dominates and sweeps through 8 regular season games, plus the conference championship game, and looks great doing so, then they deserve to be in the playoff. "
The problem here is that fewer games increases the chance that an ok team can be set up with an light sched and slip into the CFP. It's the perennial Oklahoma problem. Would anyone want Iowa in the CFP if they went undefeated with this sched and beat Minnesota in the conf champ?
Rutgers
Maryland
Nwestern
Indiana

Did she really post that?
WTF do those abuse scandals have to do with the conference's decision to play football in 2020???!!!!!?!?!?!?!?
Man, someone needs to hold a peaceful protest in her face.
How about a mostly peaceful protest?
I’ll take clickbait first $100 Alex. It really is that simple.
Brutal take by Christine Brennan - hyperbole aside trying to put letting them play football on par with systemic sexual abuse, the holier than thou thread of that article is ridiculous. The worst barb she can hurl at the Big 10 for letting them play? "It choked. It got scared. It's the SEC now"
Somebody doesn't know her geography. I'll let y'all guess which state doesn't belong.
In fariness - Kevin Warren's son is playing football in Mississippi 🤣
Maybe it was a troll for Kevin Warrens son at MSU lol.
At least all 57 states now get to play!
I don't see how winning 8 games is better than a team from another conference who went 9-1 in their regular season. To be fair the committee would have to look at the number of wins in that case. And if you factor in SOS, how could the Big Ten compete for a playoff spot even if they sweep and go 9-0?
Tha PAC12...
Rather than Fields opting out, now his OSU teammates (Wade and Davis) that previously opted-out are back in.
Still feeling confident that Fields will opt out??
At this rate, only player that will end up opting out for 2020 will be Newman.
At least the Big 10 players continued practicing.
Chip Kelly didn't even have access to his facility until recently.
I can almost guarantee you that many PAC 12 players had checked out.
Getting these players physically ready to play in 6 weeks is RIDICULOUS and dangerous.
As a parent.....I "believe" I would be against it for my son. It would depend on many factors.
My question is......did these conferences really choose to not play because of health concerns? Or was it something else? What has really changed in the last few weeks with Covid to suggest to them that it is safe enough?
If it really was because of health concerns......what the PAC 12 is proposing....may be significantly more dangerous than Covid.
Leading from the back...nice work pac 12
I can't wait to see the justification for letting an 8-0 Ohio St. team in over a 10-1 UGA or Bama. I could easily see us splitting the matchups after otherwise running the table. What do they do at that point?
Clemson 11-0
Oklahoma 11-0
UGA 10-1
Bama 10-1
Ohio St. 8-0 or 9-0
One of these things is not like the others.
it was always about the money. health issues just gave them a cover.
