Speaking of "story lines", I did once deliver pizza to a naked woman at a cheap hotel by the junction of SH 161 and I-71. Unfortunately, her boyfriend (or at any rate the dude with her) was the one actually paying. She just stood behind him and to the side so I could get a full frontal view (guessing he knew and was cool with it but wasn't sure). The dude looked like Captain Lou Albano (she was actually OK looking with a very nice body) so I just more or less played dumb rather than trying to or inadvertently getting into a "situation".
You never realized that you were the extra sausage they asked for, huh?

On Monday, the College Football Playoff released dates for its rankings reveals this fall as it gets ready to crown a champion at the end of the 2020 season. Of course, two Power Five conferences won’t be in the running, and that’s why ESPN’s Kirk Herbstreit believes people will look back on this season and try to place an asterisk on the last team standing.

Earlier this month, the Big Ten and the Pac-12 announced that they had postponed their football seasons to the spring. With teams like Ohio State and Oregon not longer in the running for the playoff, Herbstreit thinks history may not look kindly upon this year’s national champion.

Herbstreit joined ‘3HL’ on 104.5 The Zone in Nashville on Monday and was asked about the legitimacy of a national title in a highly unusual season. The College GameDay analyst pointed out that Ohio State, Penn State, and Oregon may very well have been in some preseason playoff predictions. Because of that, it will ultimately hurt the perception of whichever program does win it all.

“I’ve thought about that, and I think there will be an asterisk no matter what,” Herbstreit said. “I just heard you guys before I came on talking about the AP Top 25. I think Ohio State was No. 2. Penn State was up there. Oregon was up there. All up in the top 10. If we just threw them in, for argument’s sake, and we asked the entire nation of analysts, ‘Who is going to be in your playoff?’ The consensus is probably going to be an Alabama or Georgia type of team, an Ohio State, a Clemson, and then an argument about is there a second SEC team or Big Ten team? Does Oregon make it? Does Oklahoma make it? That would be the discussion, so you’re really eliminating Ohio State, Oregon, and Penn State from the potential playoff.”

Even with those teams in the field, there’s a chance that a team from the ACC, SEC, or Big 12 could’ve won the national championship. Still, it will be hard to judge the 2020 champ alongside others that played in years where the entire field of contenders played out the season.

“A lot of people would feel, with Trevor Lawrence, no matter who’s in it has a pretty good chance of making it into the playoff and into a national championship,” Herbstreit said. “A lot of people probably feel that Georgia, Florida, or Alabama have a really good chance to make it too. It’ll feel a little different, not having everyone in, but if you do make it through and we’ve got four teams standing there at the end, you’re still talking about some of the big boys … I think 10 or 15 years from now, there will still be somewhat of an asterisk. That’s how I feel, just because you don’t have the Big Ten or Pac-12 playing.”
