As the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the 2020 CFB season are yet to be determined, it is unknown how (or if) the 2020 GBE College Football Ratings will be presented. As of today (2020-07-12), the following possibilities are being considered:
- In the event of a postponed/interrupted but complete season, ratings will be presented at the time the games are played.
- In the event of a season limited to regional or conference-only games, ratings will be modified to reflect this. There will be no single "National" Champion but rather a group of Regional Champions based on the schedules that are played.
- In the event of a cancelled or truncated season, the ratings will be postponed until the 2021 season and there will be no champion(s) for the 2020 season.
