IRVING, Texas – The College Football Playoff (CFP) Selection Committee met virtually this week in preparation for the upcoming season.
“We don’t know right now what the season will bring, but as a committee, we are ready to use the protocol and the expertise of the 13 people who have been charged with selecting the teams,” said Gary Barta, Athletics Director at the University of Iowa who is beginning his first year as committee chair.
“The committee’s task is to rank the teams based on what happens on the field. This week gave us a great chance to catch up with the familiar faces and welcome our three new members to the process. If the board and management committee say we are having a CFP, we will be ready.”

NCAA President Mark Emmert: “We cannot, at this point, have fall NCAA championships." This does not impact FBS football. Also, other fall sports may compete in regular season competitions, but without chance to win a national title

August 12:
After today’s meeting with the SMAC, the GHSA is providing this information to our member schools to provide an idea of the possibilities that exist for GHSA sports/activities.
Our plan as of today is to move forward with the September 4 date for opening football season, as directed by the Board of Trustees.
However, it is possible that the start date of September 4 could change based on COVID-19 data.
As numbers dictate over the next two weeks, a decision will be forthcoming with regard to the football start date.
The GHSA staff has contingency plans to cover all start and restart scenarios.
Our goal continues to be to provide sports and activities for our students as soon as possible with safety being the top priority.
There is always a possibility of postponement based on the data and advice from our medical professionals.
Recommendations and restrictions are fluid and subject to change. Safety must be our top priority.

Source: A decision is (finally) expected next week from the NCAA on fall championships. That could linger as a factor into decisions by conferences. “Can we live in a world where the Big 12, ACC, SEC, American, Conference USA and Sun Belt are playing football….
