Alleged discussions at SEC ADs meeting today.
The SEC athletic directors met in Birmingham today to discuss the upcoming season. Sankey made some statements later, but allegedly there were some specific proposals made.

In no particular order...

-A 10 game conference schedule

-A +1 match-up with the ACC or Big 12

-Contingency plans in the event they decide to move to the Spring

This is not first hand knowledge or anything, but it's probably reliable info.

This is not first hand knowledge or anything, but it's probably reliable info.

Considering the +1 model:

In State Matchups
Florida - FSU
Georgia - GT
South Carolina - Clemson
Kentucky - Louisville

Other games already scheduled:
TN- OK
Auburn- UNC
Arkansas - Notre Dame*
LSU-Texas
Ole Miss- Baylor
Vandy - Kansas St.
Miss St. - NC St.


Basically, this plan would keep the current big game matchups, but lose FCS and G5 games.

Alabama vs. TCU makes some sense (TCU losses its game against Cal).

Texas A&M could play Texas Tech (Tech loses their game against Arizona)

Missouri is scheduled to play BYU, and Alabama was scheduled to play USC. Maybe get them to play Kansas? Kansas already plays Boston College. So maybe OK St. they lose a game against Oregon St.

WVU was scheduled to play FSU and Maryland (kudos to them for scheduling both in one season). Maryland game cancelled, if ACC also does plus one, FSU would play Florida, and not WVU.

Pitt, Wake, and Duke all get ND this year, though perhaps a deal could be reached for WVU-Pitt. Barring that, options include Virginia (who would probably lose their game against Georgia to Georgia Tech), VT (loses game vs. Penn St), Miami (loses game vs. Michigan St.), and Syracuse (loses game vs. Rutgers). Location might suggest a WVU-VT matchup.

That leaves Iowa St. from the Big 12, who loses their game against Iowa. Iowa State gets Virginia and Miami and Syracuse are each given an additional matchup against ND.

I will be very pleasantly surprised if we even have a season. First things first.

If we can get to August, we’ll have a chance. We’ll see a 4th of July surge and stiffer State and County and city rules. The big thing will be how the infection rates and testing occur per team and staff. A couple of College football teams have tested clean or only a couple positives. If those programs can remain healthy, I can see some football being played. If it turns out a few teams can’t get their act together, then, just like MLS did, kick them out or cancel their games.

The way this country is treating the pandemic, I can very easily see football being played in empty stadiums.

If MLB/NBA seasons actually happen, I expect there to be some sort of football. If they don't, colleges and conferences have an easy way out.

Which means we might have an indicator by next week.
