The SEC (Southeastern Conference) has announced its 2020 football season plans amid the COVID-19 pandemic, opting for a 10-game, conference-only schedule. This decision eliminates all out-of-conference games to minimize risk while maintaining competitive play.

In a recent poll regarding this decision, 64.55% of respondents expressed excitement about college football's return, while 35.45% believed the season should be canceled for safety concerns.
