College football players are taking the intuitive and leaving bad or less than ideal situations for greener pastures, unlike the NFL.

Ever since the transfer floodgates have opened up in the past few years, players are taking the intuitive and leaving bad or less than ideal situations with their current teams, for greener pastures.

Unlike the NFL, when a player does decided to transfer and leave his school, they automatically lose out on a whole year of their career. With star transfers being granted waivers by the NCAA and being deemed immediately eligible to play, those incoming transfers can mean the difference between a 7-8 win season and a trip to the College Football Playoff.

Look no further than last season where arguably two of the best quarterbacks in the country, Justin Fields and Joe Burrow led their teams to the College Football Playoff and were the difference between a trip to a New Year’s Six bowl game and a shot at the national championship.

This leads us to the current year: 2020. In a season that may not even happen due to COVID-19, the impact of transfer players may be even more amplified.

Today we will look at 10 of the more intriguing transfers to watch for this season.
