The 2020 season is going to be a unique one in the college football world, as only some of the FBS conferences are going to play. Of the 10 conferences, 6 are still planning to give fall football a try.
Since the Big Ten and Pac-12 aren’t among the conferences playing this year, many have questioned whether or not a potential champion should have an asterisk next to it.
On Tuesday, Tennessee coach Jeremy Pruitt said he believes Tennessee and every other school playing this fall is “absolutely” competing for a legitimate title, no asterisks needed:
Jeremy Pruitt on if Tennessee is competing for a true National Championship: "Absolutely. We can't control how many teams play."

If anything, the road through the SEC will be tougher this year, as the league has moved to a 10-game, conference-only schedule. That’s an absolutely brutal load for many teams to manage.
