wvigo13 Posted July 9, 2020 Posted July 9, 2020 Not surprising. I saw on twitter they were talking about all the power 5 conferences doing this. Quote
BTF Posted July 10, 2020 Posted July 10, 2020 Does Notre Dame go to the playoffs with a 6-0 record if they run the table against Wake Forest, Pittsburgh, Duke, Georgia Tech, Louisville, and Clemson? Quote

Let’s see what everyone else does, first. There’s going to be more than a few 6-0 teams. Quote

Agree. I would be surprised if it goes beyond the Power 5 for that very reason. Quote
coach_schreibjr Posted July 12, 2020 Posted July 12, 2020 I'm pretty sure the biggest reason for cutting off non-conference is to save money. It has nothing to do with covid exposure. Not having stadiums at 100% capacity is going to take a huge hit to the multi-billion dollar industry that is the NCAA not to mention the individual conferences. On its face it makes absolutely no sense to not have non-conference games considering Maryland travels to Minnesota this season... Or vice versa... Quote
