Thanks.
If a player is out due to contact tracing or out because he's near-death on a ventilator - the on-field outcome is the same.  If not for COVID, there'd be no one out due to contact tracing.  That's all.  


Sorry for my radical lack of precision I guess.

No. 19 USC's game against Colorado (2-0) that was scheduled for Saturday has been canceled, the Pac-12 announced Thursday.

The conference said USC (3-0) did not have enough scholarship players available in a position group due to positive COVID-19 tests and contact tracing. The position group is the offensive line, a source told ESPN's Kyle Bonagura.

The game will be declared a no-contest.

Colorado will instead host San Diego State on Saturday (3 p.m. ET, Pac-12 Network) at Folsom Field.

Fortunately, I haven't heard of any players or coaches near death on a ventilator to this point

So the Pac12 will finally broadcast a game this year.

I wonder what happens if Oregon or USC goes 5-0, winning their last couple of games in blowouts....would either get anywhere close to the playoff?

IMHO, the B12 cleared a path for them.  If either USC or Oregon ends up undefeated, I think they are absolutely in the CFP.  The only teams that I think would be ahead of them are other P5 undefeated teams and only three of those are possible:
  • Bama
  • Notre Dame
  • Ohio State OR Northwestern

If Clemson wins out including avenging their loss to ND, they might be ranked ahead of an undefeated P12 Champion but that is irrelevant because it would knock out Notre Dame.  

If Florida wins out and their win over Bama in the SECCG is Bama's only loss that might put a hypothetical undefeated P12 Champion in jeopardy because I'm not positive that an undefeated Pac12 Champion would finish ahead of a hypothetical 1-loss Bama but:
  • I think the undefeated P5 Champ would get the nod there
  • That only matters if the B1G produces an undefeated Champion

Congratulations, LSU!  The defending national champions, in the midst of a .500 season, and due to COVID rescheduling, get to close their season vs #5 Texas A&M, #1 Alabama, and #6 Florida.  

Now THAT'S gonna be a shit-show!

I would pencil in Bama/OSu/Clemson, which is not much of a leap at this point and ponder who might be #4.

That clearly is a major outbreak, and everyone would need to be quarantined I'd guess.

Maybe they hopped a ride on that same party barge the Vikings rented out a few years back...

Yeah, if you only care about the CFB POs, you might as well just become a Bama fan or a Clemson fan. 

Teams like MSU don't get there, and when they do they look like one of those FCS team that Bama schedules as a tune up for the Iron Bowl.

There are programs each year that fans expect/hope will make the playoff and anything short is a failure, and of course once you make it fans expect you to win.

Fan expectations might at times be unrealistic, maybe.

Especially if you consider that usually three teams have an almost lock on the 4 spots.
