Definitely doesn’t look great. At least so far outside of Wisconsin, the Big Ten does appear to be a step ahead of everyone when it comes to Covid protocols. We’ll see if it continues that way. 

They should move the playoffs back 2-3 weeks.

Is that your own east coast bias, or are you projecting the committee’s East coast bias?

We were dealing with computers in 2004 though.

I agree.

You act like saying West Coast teams don’t produce championship teams is some sort of bias.

That statement has merit. In my lifetime (35 years) teams West of the Mississippi have produced roughly 6 champions. That includes split championships.

I’m a numbers man. A probabilities man. Past numbers tell me the NCAA football champion will come from an eastern team.

I don’t disagree with what you’re saying. I just think we should do our best to ignore bias. There’s nothing inherently that keeps teams west of the Mississippi from winning national titles. I mean what prevents a team from west of the Mississippi from becoming the next Clemson? I mean nobody cared about Clemson 7 years ago. It’s not like that part of the country doesn’t have talent either. California and Texas are two of the top states in the country for high school talent.
