The 2020 college football season has been one like we have never seen before. The nonconference schedule was almost nonexistent for most of the Power Five conferences. The Big 12 Conference decided one game at home prior to their nine-game Big 12 schedule. We have seen some postponements, mostly outside of the conference. The Oklahoma State-Baylor game pushed back to Dec. 12, the date that the conference championship is set to take place. It could be moved to the 19th if that game is needed to decide who will participate in the game.
As of late we have a flurry of games outside of the Big 12 being impacted. A total of 15 games have been postponed or cancelled for this weekend alone. Some games being moved, the Pac-12 even putting California and UCLA game on a Sunday. So could be see the possibility of the College Football Playoff being pushed back and allow some of these games to take place beforehand? Big 12 commissioner Bob Bowlsby seems to think it could happen.
Bowlsby joined the SiriusXM Big 12 Radio show with Ari Temkin and Dave Archer to discuss a possibility.
With so many games postponed in college football this year, is there a possibility of moving back the @CFBPlayoff?

Should one think they would moved the College Football Playoff to February? Much like the commissioner stated, you just never know. The CFP committee hasn’t given any reason to believe that they would but to allow all the teams to complete their 2020 schedule, it could happen.
