First,
Shit, COVID is undefeated, even against the GOAT. Seriously, if the program you’d have to think has taken the most serious approach to protocols can’t stop the spread, you’ve got to start worrying about the possibility that the CFP field as a whole is going to be impacted. Hope that’s not the case, but it’s something to keep an eye on.
This ain’t the CFP, but still, it ain’t good, either.
Next, Graham shares some good news.
As good as that is for Pickens, I hope it’s even better news with regard to team spread. All we can do is wait and see.

Get The Picture 
Hard to believe A&M doesn’t have enough players.

38 schollys plus 15 walk-ons (guarantee they have more) = 53… the size of an NFL roster.
Of course, you’d have to assume that by the numbers, a bunch of the walk-ons would be effected, too.
They could field a team, I’d think… but they’d be almost guaranteed to lose. It’d be a hell of a coaching job winning a game with so few players.
Doubt Jimbo&Co are up for that lift.

The irony of Covid protocol is that the healthiest people in the world are subject to the most stringent testing. If you test anyone hourly, don’t be shocked to get test errors.

In our neverending quest to identify “the most Georgia thing ever,” wouldn’t having the entire CFP canceled in a year where we’ve got a real shot at the Natty have to be the all-time champion?

Their rules don’t seem to address this specifically. I think it would be hard to get to the point where all 4 can’t play. It’s more likely that in the “3 can’t play” scenario, there would be a 4th team that manages to hold off on reaching their threshold in an effort to be declared the champion. That seems like a strange outcome given that under the “both teams can’t play after the semifinal” scenario, they would declare no contest and vacate the whole thing.
Either way, a national championship earned by way of covid forfeits is going to feel meaningless.

The home kits should not be a thing. There is too much user error involved with them. They should be removed from the market. If people want to get tested let them go to a clinic or hospital. At least you have trained personnel there to handle tests and to perform the methodology correctly.

Sorry Senator in advance

Especially those thinking it’s a fake to justify starting Bennett. We already know Kirby has fucked the qb situation without Covid excuses. Whether or not it’s deadly to who gets it, the virus spreads like no other and it’s not fair or impartial.

GO Illini! The Gator Bowl said it was “aggressively” working with the NCAA to find a replacement team over the next few days.
Illinois (5-7), which was officially eliminated from bowl contention once all eligible teams were selected on Dec. 5, is open to the possibility of playing in a bowl game, sources told ESPN. Marshall, which lost to Louisiana last week in the R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl, also is interested in being a replacement opponent, sources told ESPN.
