National Championship could be decided by forfeit!

[PalsPal]

Right now (12.23.21), I put the odds at 50-50 that both semi games and the championship game are played as scheduled.

The question that I have is how do we know that teams won't hide positive test results?

College Football Playoff announces national title could be decided by forfeit if a team is hit by COVID-19

Alabama announced Wednesday that two assistant coaches had COVID-19 and Texas A&M had to back out of the Gator Bowl.

Yeah, makes no sense that bowl games can be rescheduled, but not playoff games.

NCAA. Nuff said

So dumb.
If COVID was a significant threat to athletes playing sports it would be abundantly clear by now. How many athletes have been injured actually playing/practicing their sport this year versus significant physical harm from COVID?

I think the NFL has canceled games with teams saying they are 95% Vaccinated.

2+ years and Covid still the center of attention.

So Strange. These athletes are in the prime condition and at top fitness level of anyone in the country. They are also very young. Should they get covid it would likely amount to getting a cold for the rest of us.

I don't see any of the playoff gamed being effected. Postponed??? Perhaps.
