Programs removed from bowl consideration


Dec 20, 2020, 6:00 PM

Multiple programs opted out of, or were otherwise removed from, bowl consideration in advance of the final College Football Playoff (CFP) rankings being released on December 20 (date announced):

LSU Tigers (December 9)—opted out of bowl consideration as part of a self-imposed one-year postseason ban over Level III sanctions involving former LSU wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr.[32]
Boston College Eagles (December 10)—opted out.[33]
Pittsburgh Panthers (December 11)—opted out.[34]
Virginia Cavaliers (December 13)—opted out.[35]
Stanford Cardinal (December 13)—opted out.[36]
Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets (December 14)—opted out.[37]
SMU Mustangs (December 15)—originally selected to play in the Frisco Bowl,[38] but withdrew due to pandemic concerns within the team,[39] leading to the bowl's cancellation.[40]
Kansas State Wildcats (December 16)—opted out.[41]
Virginia Tech Hokies (December 16)—opted out.[42] The program had appeared in 27 consecutive bowl games, dating back to the 1993 Independence Bowl.[42] At the time of opting out, this was the longest active bowl appearance streak,[42] and the fourth-longest in college football history.[43]

Utah Utes (December 18)—opted out.[47]
Washington Huskies (December 18)—opted out.[48] The Huskies also had to give up their spot in the 2020 Pac-12 Football Championship Game, due to having an insufficient number of players available.[49]
USC Trojans (December 19)—opted out.[50]
Penn State Nittany Lions (December 19)—opted out.[51]
Minnesota Golden Gophers (December 20)—opted out.[52]
