    If a team is unable to play typically the NCAA just doesn't count the game or play it. This has happened before when things like hurricanes have caused teams to cancel a game. I don't see why this would be any different?

    Money. It's not just one game in September. Sankey and the ADs are worried this could be an every week thing and if it's four or five games cancelled it's going to hit the university's budget hard.

    Oh. For some reason I thought it was just referring to OOC games.

    Nope, that's why we might have a cancellation from say Kentucky and maybe UGA has a cancellation that weekend too. All of a sudden we are in Athens that weekend. This could get wild. Now, what would be absolutely crazy is if we have a cancellation from Tulane and we get offered to host a top 25 team in need of an opponent and we beat them. This could be the most wacky year of college football ever.

    I don't see how that could realistically work. Just being honest. What if three SEC teams have cancellations? Who gets to play who? Larry Templeton who does the scheduling can't even figure out how to get teams to play more than like once a decade with the current format I can't see being week to week working with his little brain.
