2020 Week 4 wrap-up

The SEC is back, the Big 12 is back in conference play, the Big Ten and Pac-12 will be back soon, and more importantly, Virginia Tech is back and they brought a can of whoop-ass!

Week 3 Wrap-Up

More conference games, and more conferences.  The Big Ten is coming back in October.

One thing I noticed with the ACC's divisionless schedule is that now it's harder to root for or against certain teams.  In any other year, I would have been rooting for Syracuse over Pitt, because it would help all of the other Coastal teams.  However this year, it's too early to tell which outcome would help the teams I prefer.

2020 Week 2 wrap up

It's been a while, folks, and we've come back to a strange world.  I don't need to rehash how massively screwed up 2020 has been and continues to be as we start the college football season.  I will say that I will continue to number the weeks based on the original form of the schedule.  Therefore, the games of September 12 were part of week 2.

We've got all new criteria to work around this year as every Power 5 conference changed their schedules.  The Big Ten and Pac-12 cancelled (although maybe they'll reconsider?).  The SEC ditched non-conference games and went to a 10 game conference schedule (up from 8).  The Big 12 is still playing 9 conference games, and only adding one non-conference game during the month of September.  The ACC probably has the biggest set of changes, as they increased to 10 conference games (from 8) plus one non-conference game, and ditched their divisions when they added Notre Dame as a full member for this season.

And that's all before we have to worry about cancellations and rescheduling games.
