College football in 2020 was unlike any other season in the sport's history, and it brought unfamiliar images to the game: athletes publicly campaigning for racial equality; game delays, postponements and cancellations around COVID-19 issues; stadiums largely empty, with few to no fans or school bands; and so many masks.
But the game still mostly looked like the game. There were big upsets, teams that surprised in good and bad ways, players and moments that grabbed our attention -- hello, Heisman Trophy winner DeVonta Smith! -- as well as the expected domination by Alabama, Clemson and Ohio State.
