In the final twist of a season full of disruptions, there are concerns related to COVID-19 that threaten to disrupt Monday’s national championship game between Alabama and Ohio.
There are concerns about the Ohio State player’s availability for the game, according to sources, setting up a massive decision less than a week from the game’s scheduled start date in Miami. The state of Ohio informed the main parties involved that it could be left without a position group due to COVID-19 tests and related protocols.
There were discussions between the SEC, Big Ten, the College Football Playoff and schools regarding the possible postponement of the title game on January 11, the sources said, although a final decision on the situation has not yet been reached. The CFP has already set January 18 at the Hard Rock Stadium as the replacement date if the title game has to be postponed.
