College football

Ranked 13th in college football, Texas A&M will be going up against the no. 2 ranked Crimson Tide this coming Saturday in Tuscaloosa.

Sudden. Violent. Explosive. Just a few words which are synonymous with freshman edge linebacker - "The Terminator" - Will Anderson.

Football is football. And football is back.

The SEC mixed up everyone's schedules this fall once the conference decided to opt for a conference only football schedule. Today the conference announced the new order and dates for the 2020 schedule. Earlier in the day it was announced the Tide would open the season on the road against one of newly added opponent, Missouri. The rest of the schedule is as follows.

The Big 12 is moving forward with a 2020 fall football season despite the Big 10 and Pac-12 officially announcing they would not play. The conference athletic directors met last night to approve a schedule that was released today. The Big 12 will start its season on September 26 along with the SEC.

The 2020 college football season is hanging in the balance amid the coronavirus pandemic. The Big 10 has already cancelled its fall season and the Pac-12 is expected to be following suit with the same decision later today. College players, coaches and even politicians have spoken out about the need for a football season this fall.

In a conversation with Chris Low of ESPN, Nick Saban made the case to have a 2020 football season. Saban said that the players would be safer on campus, he said his players wouldn't contract the virus on the football field and that he wants the season to happen so his players can create value for themselves.

The college football season is currently hanging by a thread after the Mid-American Conference became the first FBS level conference to cancel its fall football season. The Big 10 has reportedly already voted to cancel its season as well, although those reports have been disputed. Several marquee names in college football have taken to Twitter to voice their desire to endure the COVID-19 protocols and have a 2020 football season.

According to Dan Patrick and the Detroit Free Press, the Big 10 has voted to cancel its 2020 football season. The conference voted 12-2 to cancel this season, the only dissenting universities who voted to play were Iowa and Nebraska.

As usual, Alabama Head Coach Nick Saban gets his wish. Saban has been clamoring for years for the SEC to increase its conference games from eight to nine. This past year he even made the case the conference should go to 10 games. While the longest tenured coach in the SEC has long been asking for more conference games, he has never had the support of his peers. This year, they have no choice.
