Will January’s title game in South Florida go on as planned?

The Tuesday postponements of the Big Ten and Pac-12 college football seasons set off a number of questions on the implications the moves will have on other conferences and the overall outlook of college football in 2020-21.

As three Power Fve conferences — the SEC, ACC and Big 12 — and three Group of Five conferences remain in play within the Football Bowl Subdivision, will South Florida still have a College Football Playoff national championship game to host at Hard Rock Stadium as scheduled?

The CEO of the title game’s Miami host committee shared a statement with the South Florida Sun Sentinel on Tuesday night that poses more questions than answers.

“Since the pandemic first adversely impacted collegiate sports in early March, we have been in constant communication with our conference partners and the College Football Playoff regarding both the 87th Capital One Orange Bowl and the 2021 College Football Playoff national championship,” said Eric Poms, who is also CEO of the Orange Bowl Committee.

“It has been and continues to be a fluid situation, and even with [Tuesday’s] announcements there remains a number of unknown variables as to what effect it will have on both college football’s regular season and subsequently its postseason for this year.

“We will stay in contact with college football leadership and continue to monitor the situation closely with community partners, including the Miami

Dolphins and Hard Rock Stadium as well as with civic leaders.”

On Tuesday, College Football Playoff executive director Bill Hancock told Sports Illustrated, “It’s too soon to say. … We are awaiting guidance from the CFP board and management committee.”

South Florida is slated to host the college football title game for the first time since Alabama topped Notre Dame in the championship following the 2012 season.

At that football’s time, college

national champion was still determined by the Bowl Championship Series and the Orange Bowl was in a rotation to host.

Beginning in the fall of 2014, college football adopted its current fourteam playoff.

The Orange Bowl has been a College Football Playoff semifinal twice in that time frame. Hosting the CFP national championship game is separate from the host site’s bowl game, so South Florida would still be on for an Orange Bowl should the season play out.
