Perhaps the BEST B1G Forum anywhere, here at College Football Fan Site, CFB51!!!

I THINK this is going reasonably well so far, I don't see an a priori reason to think the wheels come off any time soon.  Of course, it's all a guess pretty much.  If it ended in two weeks, I doubt any of us would be shocked, and if they finish the playoff, same.  I don't know about the bowls, I know some minor bowls have cancelled already.

Well Utah is heading into their final week of their HS season without any major setbacks. Crowds have been unlimited, and mask policies have been poorly enforced. 

So I think CFB will push through without a ton of outbreaks. A few here, a few there. 

Absent high profile hospitalizations or deaths, I think almost every team will play most of their schedule.

I think at the least, sports have shown they can endure the slow burn. Some teams will have big outbreaks and there will continue to be random canceled or rescheduled games. But I'm going to say I think most teams will have isolated positive cases and they're going to manage through it.

So far it doesn't like anything like the worst case scenario with cases.

I suspect we will see make up games in mid december...   games will be postponed rather than dropped.

Most teams will finish their season but a small number of games will be canceled along the way. 

All FBS Conferences will still play their championship games and the 4-team playoff will still happen.

The only thing I question is will schools send their teams to minor bowl or just choose to close it down after Dec. 19.  I think many schools will just close it down once the regular season is done.

Florida State coaching great Bobby Bowden, 90, was admitted to the hospital Tuesday as he undergoes treatment for COVID-19.

Bowden's wife, Ann, told the Tallahassee Democrat that her husband was taken by ambulance to Tallahassee Memorial HealthCare because of fatigue and was scheduled to undergo tests.

Bowden had been released from the same facility just last week after undergoing treatment for a leg infection.

Bowden told the Democrat on Monday that he had not exhibited any symptoms associated with COVID-19 after being informed Sunday that he had tested positive.

Also Tuesday, Florida State said university president John Thrasher has tested positive for the virus, and he is isolating at home with his wife, who also has tested positive.

The university said Thrasher received his test result Tuesday after his wife, Jean, was tested due to unrelated medical treatment. The statement said both are feeling well. Thrasher had attended last Saturday's football game against Jacksonville State.

The upcoming game between Baylor and No. 7 Oklahoma State has been postponed.

The Bears and Cowboys were scheduled to meet on Oct. 17, but the Big 12 announced on Sunday night the game will be moved to Dec. 12.

Baylor on Thursday suspended all football-related activities because the school needed to evaluate recent positive tests for COVID-19 and perform contact tracing of its team.


The Big 12 said that the league's championship game remains tentatively scheduled for Dec. 12 or Dec. 19, depending on the game results needed to determine the title game's participants.

This is the third game on Baylor's schedule to be postponed this season. The Bears' scheduled season opener against Louisiana Tech on Sept. 12 was postponed because of Louisiana Tech's COVID-19 testing results. The Bears' hastily scheduled game with Houston for Sept. 19 was postponed a day before kickoff because the Bears were short of the league's COVID-19 thresholds at a key position group.

This is the second Oklahoma State game to be pushed back. The Cowboys season opener with Tulsa delayed a week because of a nine-day pause Tulsa had to take as a result of COVID-19 testing. That game was played Sept. 19 instead of its originally scheduled date of Sept. 12.
