[Tongue-in-cheek]
NEWS FLASH: College football announces the end of the pandemic.
College football indicates that errors in testing protocols have led to their decision that all positive results to date are likely false positives.
"Manufacturers' testing that showed their tests never or almost never resulted in false positives has clearly been proven wrong with all the false positives found in college athletes."

ASU v Cal and UCLA v Utah have been cancelled.
ASU and Utah could not field enough players (or in ASU's case, their head coach).
Like MLB did, the Pac12 has taken the two healthy teams and rescheduled Cal to play at UCLA this Sunday at 9AM.

As a former football coach I roll my eyes. Have fun doing the scouting report in 8 hours and getting it in your players' hands and getting them to feel prepared for the game.

There will be no college football playoff this season. The Pac-12 looks like the biggest chump of them all.

At this point, why not get all the healthy players together and play pick-up-games.

so i guess we'll see who has the best players given the "scheme" won't be well developed......of course Cal would have no "film" for UCLA to see so maybe they have a slight advantage seeing what Colorado did vs UCLA. Of course the "big improvement" for teams is supposed to be between games 1 and 2 so maybe UCLA will be better off.....
In any case I was hoping that Big Game would be Cal's first game of the season.......which in theory would advantage us (assuming no significant/too many injuries/COVID-19 exclusions)....

I think this whole season is a farce, but good for the H-man folks for doing it virtually.

"What if a top-four team has a COVID-19 outbreak the week of the College Football Playoff semifinal? Can dates and locations change?"

Clemson had a positive case yesterday.
Clemson FSU postponed just hours before gametime. Gameday crew seen driving away after having made a 350mile journey to get there.
Apparently, FSU was offered makeup options of Sunday and Monday but they refused. No one knows if they will try to make it up on an open Dec 12th date.
Edit: wasn't gameday crew driving away but Clemson's crew as seen on Gameday. My misread.

Peculiar pick for the Gameday crew considering that FSU is 1-6. Serves them right.
edit: oops, I shaved off fifty percent of their wins. They're 2-6.

Not ESPN Gameday — they are at Bedlam in Oklahoma.

Nick Saban has tested positive for the coronavirus and _does_ have symptoms (mild currently). The previous positive test was later determined to be a false positive.
Well, like some have thought, this might change some minds about the severity of the virus in Alabama if not all of SEC land.

If Auburn beats Alabama this weekend, then the whole state will realize how real this virus is... (that's right, it's the Iron Bowl this weekend)
(Of course, it's highly unlikely that Auburn pulls off the upset...but I'm saying there's a chance.)

Ohio St has canceled their game against Illinois do to increasing covid cases including the head coach.
https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/30403874/no-4-ohio-state-buckeyes-cancel-saturday-game-vs-illinois-fighting-illini
This pushes them to the edge of being disqualified for the Big10 championship game as this'll be their 2nd canceled game.
