2020–21 NCAA Division I FBS football season2020 NCAA Division I FBS football season – For now, let's revert back to the standard date formatting used on the other NCAA Division I FBS football season articles, based on WP:CRYSTAL grounds. As I am proposing this, the Big Ten Conference announced a few hours ago that they have reversed course and are now looking into starting play next month. None of those other conferences (Mid-American, Mountain West, Pac-12, etc. ) have scheduled any spring 2021 games yet AFAIK. Currently they are only labeled in the article subheader as "possibility of playing in the spring", now "will". There is no guarantee that COVID-19 cases will subside enough in the Spring, and there could be a chance that they could instead reverse course like the Big Ten and play in the Fall too. And they could still take a playbook from the 2020 Summer Olympics and still call it the "2020 season" even if they are playing in 2021. Thus "2020–21" in the current title is premature until Spring 2021 NCAA Division I FBS games are actually scheduled (like some conferences have already done in the 2020–21 NCAA Division I FCS football season).

Games added to schedule due to COVID-19

[edit]

California and UCLA played a game on Sunday, November 15, because their opponents for that week, Arizona State and Utah respectively, were both ineligible to play due to COVID-19. I think this should be a footnote in the "Postponed or cancelled games" section.
