Will there be a shot at a national title?
I don’t know how you work out any potential shot at a national championship if conferences are working off of far different timelines. Right now, if the ACC, Big 12, and SEC continue ahead and play in the fall, the College Football Playoff will have to make a determination on its timing.
You have to believe that the CFP would have a hard time moving the date of the game all the way into late spring, so that likely means teams not playing in the fall would have to root for a split-national title. However, that will be difficult to do fairly if teams end up playing a drastically different amount of games.
On playing for a national title if a spring season happens. Day still has hopes that other conferences might still delay and that would push everything back.

Now, if everything gets pulled back and the three Power Five conferences end up postponing as well, that’s an easier nut to crack.
