SBC-Covid protocol 2021 Football season

How messed up would it be if Texas forfeited?
I can promise you when it came down to the end and we went undefeated they would not hold that against Texas nor would they put a feather in our cap for NY6 or a playoff bid.

Kind of like a 3 loss Iowa State ranked over the Cajuns.

Exactly. A head to head win for Louisiana and you still rank Iowa State ahead of Louisiana.

Not really. Iowa State had three losses, none of which were forfeits. We are talking about forfeits in the Covid era here.

Very much alike, the subject is a forfeit being treated like a loss (as it should be) and not mattering, compared with Iowa State suffering an actual loss, and still not mattering.

So Iowa State is the perfect comparison.

Correct and the perfect comparison. Perception means alot. That is why the Cajuns need to push the athletic name as Louisiana only.

It is really not, at all. It is a rather low education analogy. I’m pretty sure a forfeit will be given even less “loss” credit or more “loss” credit than an actual loss, depending upon the team being considered. Kind of like apples and oranges, except worse.

It's not a head to head comparison but it is perfect in that it happened last year.

An actual win and ranked lower than the loser as compared to capturing a forfeit win and expecting the same treatment.

You would have to be logically blind to ignore the comparison.

There is no comparison. A head to head does not count now when elite, surely a forfeit not decided on the field will have virtually no impact. It is a prime opportunity for the elite to cheat. Sorry Turbine, I have to disagree with you on this. I know you trying to throw JMV a bone because there are few opportunities to do that. This is a very weak opportunity. I guess you have to take what you have.

Facts!

A win over Texas in week one would position UL as the odds on favorite for the NY6 bowl. We wold get a huge boat based off of last years win over Iowa St.

follow that up with beating Liberty and Appalachian St who will both likely be ranked when we play them.

Just have to get that 2nd win over an SEC program. Lol

Hopefully our guys get themselves vaccinated and we don't concern ourselves with forfeits. Let's learn from NC State.

At the rate that covid is coming back the stadiums might be back to 25% capacity. As this thread title suggest it isn't looking good for the 2021 football season for teams, players and fans if this continues.
