Clemson, Alabama remain favorites but plenty of challengers for Playoff crown

The 2020 college football season will be looked upon as one of the most challenging and overwhelming campaigns in the 150-plus years of the sport as everyone through college athletics felt the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.

More than anything, it was the feeling of uncertainty that left a pall over the sport, with games canceled or postponed and players choosing to opt-out over concerns with the virus.
