Where are all the people who claimed every season that teams need that "13th data point" in order to qualify for the playoffs and that those with a lack of such a "13th data point" should be left out?

Here, we have Big Ten schools playing 9 games at most with others playing 11 or 12.

That should be held against them, should it not, as having a lack of at least that "11th data point" this season?

With the uber restrictive protocols that the B1G is putting in place including a ridiculous 21 day quarantine for positives, its likely that each team may get at most 5 to six games. This is crazy if they can be considered for the CFP. This would be a mockery of the playoffs.

Nobody does 21 day quarantines.

My mistake. Not necessarily quarantine, but the earliest they can return is 21 days per B1G health protocol. And that is the earliest. https://bigten.org/news/2020/9/16/the-bi...-2020.aspx

Still more than anyone I have heard of. Per CDC, its 10 days after symptoms. They have dropped that from 14.

Yep, it is craziness in the B1G. They are setting themselves up for failure.
