Report
The 2020 NCAA College Football season in the United States of America kicked off with on Thursday, the 3rd of September with Alabama-Birmingham (UAB) Blazers defeating Central Arkansas Bears 45-35 and South Alabama Jaguars winning 32-21 against Southern Mississippi Golden Eagles. The first big match-up on 7th of September featured Brigham Young (BYU) Cougars triumphing 55-3 over Navy Midshipmen.
By the first week in October the Notre Dame Fighting Irish were still undefeated, having won all three games, and were ranked 4th in the Nation. Ranked above them were Clemson (SEC, 1), Alabama (SEC, 2) and Georgia (SEC, 3), making Notre Dame the top-ranked team in the Atlantic Coast Conference and everywhere outside of the Southeastern Conference (SEC). The season, however, only featured half of the 10 Conferences, due to the COVID-19 Coronavirus Pandemic, with the other five cancelling their schedules.
