Strangest top 25 I have ever seen. Most teams have played 4 games, and a few have played 5, yet the seven Big ?? and Pac 12 teams are still 0-0.

Wonder what effect it will have on voters that teams play such differing numbers of games, and that some teams will be playing long after others have finished. Just another 2020 conundrum....

Bizarro Wisconsin badgers so far. Really solid QB play with a mediocre running game.

They may have found a new starting QB.

It's only one game and the opponent was Illinois, but it is hard to ignore 20-21 passing with the only incompletion being a dropped ball.

The last 2 minutes and OT of PSU/IU was utterly insane. I don’t even know what else to say, holy $hit.

Maryland is just awful. This Northwestern team should not look as good as they do.

I turned it off because I figured the game was over when Penn State took the lead with less than two minutes to go. ☹️

Graham Mertz tested positive. Hopefully it’s a false negative. Need them to bulldoze Nebraska.

Badgers should wildcat with Groshek. They would probably run for 800 yards

I have no idea who that is but given Nebraska’s defense I might be able to go off for 100+

If neither Mertz nor Wolf can go, the QB job will likely fall to Danny Vanden Boom. Old time Badger football fans from the early 80s would remember that name. His dad played safety for the Badgers, was drafted into the NFL, but retired due to injuries without playing a game.

Hope the after party victory was worth it. You have to earn those wins over Illinois

Potrykus just tweeted that the game may not be played. Maybe due to no backup QB? I know games in other conferences were canceled due to too few players in certain 'position groups.'

Damn straight. One kid gets Covid, just tote him off and run another'n on.

If you've never heard this Andy Griffith football sketch, it's worth the 5 minutes....

cancellation would be from too high of a positivity rate for the entire team

UW vs. Nebraska game has been cancelled.

shoothoops · « **Reply #273 on:** October 28, 2020, 10:34:59 AM »

Other games have been rescheduled for later in season or end of season if teams can't field 53. That can be any form of COVID-19, injuries etc...one challenge is the later start to the season for some leagues vs others.

Every week seems to be do you have 53. If yee you play, if no, reschedule.

Because the BIG 10 started late, there are no bye weeks or room in the schedule to move games around, so I think the UW game is straight cancelled and not postponed.
