Since it's so slow, let's play NCAA - How should football and/or basketball handle rankings/seedings?

If Team A can find a way to play, should Team B (that can't keep their players from Covid) be afforded ANY preference in the rankings? Should there be exceptions? Such as, "We're clean and ready to play but they have canceled the game." Should that be considered a forfeit?

Should there be bubble teams that could jump in at the last minute? Especially in March?

what is the maximum amount of player we can purge per the ncaa? At what point in the purging process do we actually admit that we are just trying to either sit next season out or shutter the program?

Set the bar at like 2/3s of regular games. If you didn’t play that number of games you get left out of the conversation. Everyone else should be examined apples to apples.

It is not a playoff... It's an invitational. Just ask your friends down I4 and in Cincinnati.  They only invite their friends with lots of $$$.

First thing that popped into my mind was that if you're going to be hit with a loss if you don't play, may open door for some thoughtless shenanigans pertaining to health.

What if you're going to be hit with a loss if you DO play? I'd think finding a reason not to play a sure loss is more likely. Think if the team has a couple key injuries

I think the season should be started with no rankings. When 3 games have been played let the rankings begin. Doesnt matter what they did the year before eg: LSU let teams play few games then their is really some substance to quantify/justify. I get tired of all the pre-season hype about this school, that player, etc

So say I.............Do the I's have it?       Prob not

I'm fine with waiting 3 games.  Preseason stuff, especially this year, is silly.  Wasn't Penn St a Top 20 team in football preseason?

Yeah, this year was more absurd..like bring in oregon and b10 teams after the season started then inserting them into the standings before a game?? kinda says-screw you to the teams that have been playing..but, hopefully a year like this one wont happen again???? hope hope hope

Who is going to stop the press from doing that? It can’t be enforced.
