Jan 18, 2021 The 2020 college football season is officially in the books so it’s time to start looking ahead at what’s in store for 2021.

We’re finally here. It’s the 2020-2021 bowl season and College Football Playoff, the stripped down version.

A slew of bowls aren’t happening, a bunch of teams decided to opt out, and now it all starts up Monday with a crazy sprint over the next 11 days before getting the New Year’s Day.

As always, I make a call on what I think early line is – without looking – and then add them in after. Why? Where are the possible discrepancies to see how far off the original thoughts really are.

(BTW, usually I’m relatively close to the pin, but after going through and doing this, either I’m WAY off – totally possible – or there are some incredible early values.)
