The incredibly unusual 2020 college football regular season comes to a close this weekend with a handful of teams finishing up with meaningless games but highlighted by the Power 5 conference championship games. While the coronavirus has canceled/postponed many games this year, the leagues are going to do whatever possible to make sure conference title games are played.

The final College Football Playoff Top 25 rankings will be released Sunday, which means it’s Selection Sunday. Those rankings will determine the four teams in the College Football Playoff as well as the other schools filling out the New Year’s Six bowl slots.

There already has been one conference title game change due to the coronavirus: Washington pulled out of Friday’s Pac-12 matchup at No. 15 USC and will be replaced by Oregon. The Huskies and Ducks were supposed to play for the North Division title this past weekend, but UW didn’t have enough players and still doesn’t. The Trojans are -3.5 against Oregon and the favorite has covered the past four in the series.
