I think they made that announcement before the OSU/MD cancellation. It was after Wisconsin missed two games in a row and they realized that if someone else cancelled on Wisconsin, the conference's best of the West wouldn't be eligible for the CCG.

Of course we hadn't realized that Northwestern is the best of the West yet.
I guess that was the week Ohio St said they would have liked to pick up a non-con game.

Would have liked to see UW at full strength in that one. Mertz had nobody to deliver the ball to, and it showed. Depth at WR is not good in Madison right now. Help is coming, so that's good.

I suspect Mertz' otherworldly performance against Illinois was fool's gold. Illinois' pass defense is... not good.

Then against Michigan he returned to earth with 12/22 for 127 yards w/ 2 TD and no INT. A good performance, but it's not like he was asked to do a lot in that blowout.

Northwestern has a better defense than anyone else they'd faced, by far, and I think it showed that Wisconsin is having a down year compared to usual. They aren't rushing the ball quite the way they thought they would, and when you have to put all that pressure on Mertz, he's still a little too wet behind the ears to be ready for it.

we have different definitions

UW-UM - one game

ASU - that's rough, but not surprising with the location of campus hotspot

Bigsby?  one player - obviously he should have been more careful

USC cancels practice - as Allen Iverson said, we talkin bout practice

Purdue's one player

Tulsa-Houston?  was that game ever going to be a big deal?

yup, I'd bet both teams feel better that they started the season and tried/hoped to play the game than simply shutdown in August

a few folks were a bit too selfish and were out and about and contracted the virus and spread it to their teammates and coaches

I'd guess the players and coaches wouldn't refer to this lost game or this season as a shit show

Right.  That’s why they decided to attempt the season in the first place.

I want to see Nebraska (or tOSU) try to schedule BYU at some point, if nothing else, get everybody all excited.

Well conference realignment #$@%^ up some very long running continuous rivalries, not surprised to see CV get in on that act.  I see Apple Cup'ers are trying to figure something out.

Like many, I'm glad we had a "season", and continue to have football I can watch on Saturdays.  COVID has disrupted a LOT of things (duh).  CFB seems to me to be managing pretty flexibly and well.  Each person of course could focus on singling out the WORST happenings of each week, or we might take a broader view that it's nearly December and the whole thing has not YET collapsed.

Yup.  Better to have attempted a season and lost it, than to never have attempted a season at all.

I'm paraphrasing someone or another, of course.
