The SEC statement of no out-of-conference video games kills the yearly competition between the following teams, and I break down who wins and who loses from this.
South Carolina vs. Clemson– Clemson would have blown their doors off so this is clearly good news for the Gamecocks and Will Muschamp. Yes they want the rivalry game as a chance to improve recruiting with an unlikely upset, but we all understand that wasnt going to happen.
Georgia vs. Georgia Tech– The Yellow Jackets would have plainly been ruined in this game, so this is a win for Georgia Tech. Some think UGA could use the automated win, however this season that doesnt matter as much.
Florida vs. Florida State– The Seminoles would have lost this game and most likely lost it severely, but honestly they needed this game for recruiting functions as they are getting out-recruited in the state. In general, this is a win for the Seminoles.
Since both teams are solid, Kentucky vs. Louisville– This is a hard call. I d give the edge to Louisville, here as Kentucky has waxed them the last two times.
Notre Dame is saving the 2020 football season and it shows how much power the Fighting Irish still have. Where does that leave Notre Dame? Notre Dame is smarter than the rest. The next thing you understand the ACC is welcoming Notre Dame as a full member in 2020, allowing the Irish to play for their league title and ended up being the first conference to reveal a complete schedule plus an out-of-conference game to boot.
Notre Dame is conserving the 2020 football season and it demonstrates how much power the Fighting Irish still have. How did this take place? When the Big Ten and Pac-12 revealed they were preparing conference-only schedules and the rest of the Power Fives were reported to be following, lets believe back to. Where does that leave Notre Dame? In difficulty, in a manner, with video games against USC and Arkansas gone and an ACC schedule possibly in trouble. But stress not. Notre Dame is smarter than the rest. They tapped the ACC, the conference theyve been utilizing (and has been using them) for the last numerous years and whispered in their ear: “Hey, well join your little conference this year, what do you say?”
The next thing you know the ACC is welcoming Notre Dame as a full member in 2020, allowing the Irish to bet their league title and became the very first conference to reveal a complete schedule plus an out-of-conference video game to boot. And now were off and running. The SEC has been forced to make a relocation, and the rest of the Power Five have to get their butts in gear and figure things out. We went from fear of losing a season to huge momentum for 2020 college football. We arent out of the woods yet, however we have more hope now than in the past. And we can all thank Notre Dame.
