BIG to play in fall?

Feels a little weird to have Auburn/Georgia week and no Furman press releases about how it isn't the deep south's oldest football rivalry.

North Carolina has added Western Carolina to their 2020 schedule. That gives Western 3 games, 2 being FBS.

Contingent on UNC not having to reschedule an ACC game. Not a sure thing. Just a sure loss if played.

Sad story - App State student dies from complications due to COVID. https://chancellor.appstate.edu/messages/id/208

Probably not unrelatedly, App State's home game with Louisiana has been postponed due to positive tests. https://myfox8.com/news/appalachian-sta ... -contacts/

This may have been brought up before, but will some of these FBS schools play a game in the spring? Most of them will play 10 or less games. Will they schedule a “spring scrimmage” type game, considering a majority of FCS schools playing their season then?

Would be very interesting, but very much an NCAA issue. Who knows how this fall season will turn out with eligibility and incomplete schedules.

Them dawgs is hell don’t they? Looking forward to this SEC season.

Stadium attendance will be weird considering Falcons don’t allow fans. I guess the Georgia game won’t be much different than normal; Auburn students are used to not being accepted to UGA.

Possible but very doubtful.

Waiver unlikely in a year with a pandemic....that’s why they are listed “0-1”

Who is listed as 0-1? Any FCS games played in the fall will carry over to the spring. Pretty sure that is what the NCAA has said.
