Schedule
BYU‘s games against Michigan State, Minnesota, Utah, Arizona State, Stanford and Missouri were all canceled before the season started. These were moves by the Pac-12, Big Ten and SEC related to COVID-19 in order to reduce the spread of the virus through travel restrictions.[56][57][58] Any other changes to the schedule will be made in accordance with these restrictions. On August 8, 2020, the Mid-American Conference suspended their season taking Northern Illinois off of BYU's schedule. On August 10, 2020, Mountain West Conference suspended their 2020 season removing Utah State, Boise State and San Diego State from the Cougars’ 2020 schedule.[59] The game at Army, scheduled for September 19 as part of the replacement slate of games, was postponed indefinitely on September 12 with both the academy and BYU pledging to attempt to reschedule the game for a later date.[60] Subsequently, the Mountain West Conference announced that both Boise State and San Diego State would be permitted to play BYU late in the season.[61][62]

A few hours later, more doubt — perhaps the final nail in the coffin — came as the Mountain West Conference said it wasn’t going to play this fall, according to a Stadium report by Brett McMurphy and later confirmed by the conference. The Cougars were scheduled to play three MW teams — Utah State, Boise State and San Diego State — and are now down to just three opponents on their 2020 schedule: Navy, Houston and North Alabama.
