All-Americans

For the complete All-America selections, see 2020 College Football All-America Team.

Currently, the NCAA compiles consensus all-America teams in the sports of Division I-FBS football and Division I men's basketball using a point system computed from All-America teams named by coaches associations or media sources. The system consists of three points for a first-team honor, two points for second-team honor, and one point for third-team honor. Honorable mention and fourth team or lower recognitions are not accorded any points. College Football All-American consensus teams are compiled by position and the player accumulating the most points at each position is named first team consensus all-American. Currently, the NCAA recognizes All-Americans selected by the AP, AFCA, FWAA, TSN, and the WCFF to determine Consensus and Unanimous All-Americans. Any player named to the First Team by all five of the NCAA-recognized selectors is deemed a Unanimous All-American.^[36][37]

Home game attendance

On September 24, 2020, the Pac–12 announced that it would only allow student-athlete families to attend football games this season, subject to local public health authority approval and in accordance with NCAA guidelines. Each individual university will determine what will be allowed in terms of family member attendance on that basis.^[38] The conference is keeping track of attendance, although the accuracy is in question.^[39] Each team will play three home and three road games, with the possibility of hosting a fourth home game based on where each team finishes within their division, with the top seed from each division playing in the Pac-12 Title Game in Las Vegas.
