The most popular guess in the voting (tied) has obviously not been correct as we started the season.  Some of the other guesses overlap obviously, not a very good poll.


It's an election year, bad polling happens

Tebow on board with all D-I football schools playing Tim Tebow says that the best, possibly safest, place for collegiate football players is at school under the watchful eye of coaches and staff, rather than at home with friends and family.

can't argue with that guy..........

Even if every team started with no cases (which is false), the season would crash within 3 weeks.  Just scratch it all.  Same with baseball - even if it begins well, it's all going to go sideways. 
I didn't disagree at the time, but it now appears baseball will be "OK", apparently.

Didn’t vote. Best guess- there will be a reduced season - maybe conference games only- with no fans. 
Pretty good shot from late June...

My thinking has morphed the past week. I am of the opinion college presidents will delay the season until spring in the hope a vaccine will be available.

I suspect the season will not be delayed until after regular football practices start, and the problems of playing football during a pandemic become more directly apparent. Here is an opinion piece on this topic from the Louisville Courier Journal: https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/college/2020/07/06/college-football-2020-sports-feasibility-question-due-covid/5380335002/

The writer quotes a computer sciences professor, rather than an epidemiologist, but what the professor says makes sense: "University of Illinois computer science professor Sheldon Jacobson has told CBS Sports to expect a 30-50% infection rate among the Football Bowl Subdivision’s 13,000 players, with between three and seven deaths attributable to COVID-19."

Yeah I'm pretty sure I started stating sometime in late July or early August, that I didn't think we'd see football at all.  Glad I was wrong, and hope we can continue throughout the season with players staying healthy and safe.

I think "we" were pretty pessimistic back in June/July, most of us, for good reason, so what we appear to have now is better than expected (so far).

Baseball seems to be managing.

Yeah....but no football at all would be better than having it for 3 weeks and then having the resulting fallout from what would cause it to stop.

But I hope that doesn't happen.
