At the end of the day, I’m for whatever works best. At the current moment, it doesn’t seem like we have to delay the playoff.
Yes, there are some problems, but it looks like we’ll squeeze everything in if things chill the hell out with coronavirus.
If things don’t get worse, then we keep the schedule as it is. If that means the PAC-12 gets iced out, then so be it. That’s what they get for waiting so long to start football.

However, things start rapidly getting worse and games all over the country are being postponed/canceled, then it quickly becomes a different conversation.
If that happens, then delaying the games a couple weeks might be the only option on the table.

No matter what, we need to make sure the games happen. How we get there is up for discussing. Making sure they happen has to be priority number one.
