The 2020 College Football America Yearbook is out now and you can grab a copy at Amazon or Barnes and Noble right now. And while we’re proud of our book and we think it has great information for the 2020 season, we’re as cognizant as every other college football fan about the uncertainty of this 2020 football season.
Our book went to press in early July, but now that our book is out, we won’t be able to update adjustments made by teams and conferences for the 2020 season. Our 2020 COVID-19 cancellations page will be updated as often as possible with new cancellations or adjustments to the 2020 season by team and conference. If you know of any that we’re missing, let us know on our Twitter feed, @RoadTripSports, and we’ll make the updates.
