Looks like we've found the leadership that's making decisions instead of kicking the can down the road.

Coronavirus doesn't spread in conference games. Only non conference

Coronavirus doesn't spread in conference games. Only non conference It's true. And masks stop covid, even though pants won't stop farts. |

The masks are supposed to stop the droplets, which I'm pretty sure the underwear does stop, in the unfortunate case of a shart. The logic with conference games is that it reduces overall exposure by like 60x (5 non-con games for 12 teams....). I still think it's a bad choice. |

Getting rid of the non-conference games has very little to do with where those schools are and much more to do with giving the conference flexibility in scheduling the 10 games

Adding the traditional bye week to front of the schedule buys additional time We may not see the first game before October? Heard on ESPN, the SEC is considering some convoluted pod system to determine the conference winner. |

The Big Ten and PAC 12 have jumped out and showed their hand.
Now, the Big 12, Atlantic Coast and SEC are now in the position of comfortable control of the situation.
They now have the upper hand on the B1G and PAC 12.
If they choose to play a portion or all of their non-conference games, in addition to the conference slate,
they will have a very decided advantage in who gets selected for the post season playoff games.
Don't expect them to show their cards anytime soon, since they have no pressing need to. This keeps the PAC 10 and B1G wondering and guessing.
12-13 wins sure looks better than 9 or 10 in the eyes of the selection committee.

Even with a Big Ten only schedule, If Ohio State runs the table they WILL be one of the 4. Anytime a school loses a game in a 12 OR 10 game schedule they're in jeopardy of not being included in THE 4. Simple as that.
I'm hoping the other 3 of the Power 5 don't cancel their non-league schedules, that will just give Ohio State more of an incentive to stick it to them.
