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. Players are chosen against other players playing at their position only. To be selected a consensus All-American, players must be chosen to the first team on at least half of the five official selectors as recognized by the NCAA. Second- and third-team honors are used to break ties. Players named first-team by all five selectors are deemed unanimous All-Americans. Currently, the NCAA recognizes All-Americans selected by the AP, AFCA, FWAA, TSN, and the WCFF to determine consensus and unanimous All-Americans.

LSU's opening drive was far less productive, as they punted after three plays totaling a net loss of four yards. Clemson opened their ensuing drive on the LSU 45.

Following LSU's fourth punt of the evening, Clemson started with their worst field position yet, as they got the ball at their own 4. This did not deter the Clemson offense, as they covered the ninety-six yards ahead of them in only four plays, capping the touchdown drive with a long run by Tee Higgins; this extended Clemson's lead to ten.


2020 College Football Playoff National Championship, Game summary
LSU responded with a quick drive of their own, scoring in five plays to narrow the lead to three on a touchdown run by Burrow.

The quarter expired several plays later; LSU entered the fourth quarter leading 35–25.


2020 College Football Playoff National Championship, Game summary

2020 Colorado Democratic presidential primary
The 2020 Colorado Democratic presidential primary took place in Colorado, United States, on March 3, 2020, as one of 14 contests scheduled on Super Tuesday in the Democratic Party primaries for the 2020 presidential election. It followed the South Carolina primary the weekend before. The Colorado primary is a semi-closed primary. It awards 80 delegates towards the 2020 Democratic National Convention, of which 67 are pledged delegates allocated on the basis of the results of the primary. Bernie Sanders was declared the winner of the primary by major news outlets.


2020 Colorado Democratic presidential primary, Procedure
Colorado was one of 14 states holding primaries on March 3, 2020, also known as "Super Tuesday", following the decision of governor Jared Polis to schedule the primary on that date on April 30, 2019. Instead of party-run caucuses as in 2016, Colorado used a state-run primary in 2020 after voters passed Proposition 107 in 2016, restoring presidential primaries in the state.


2020 Colorado Democratic presidential primary, Procedure
Voting took place throughout the state until 7:00 p.m. In the semi-closed primary, candidates must meet a threshold of 15 percent at the congressional district or statewide level in order to be considered viable. The 67 pledged delegates to the 2020 Democratic National Convention are allocated proportionally on the basis of the results of the primary. Of the 67 pledged delegates, between 4 and 9 are allocated to each of the state's 7 congressional districts and another 9 are allocated to party leaders and elected officials (PLEO delegates), in addition to 14 at-large pledged delegates. Bonus delegates will be allocated as Colorado shares a primary date with numerous other states on Super Tuesday; these numbers do not yet account for these delegates.


2020 Colorado Democratic presidential primary, Procedure
Precinct caucuses were held on Saturday, March 7, 2020 to elect delegates to county conventions, followed by county conventions by Wednesday, April 1, 2020 to designate delegates for the congressional district and state conventions, congressional district conventions until April 17, 2020 to choose district delegates for the national convention, and the state convention on April 18, 2020. The state convention voted on the 14 pledged at-large and 9 PLEO delegates to send to the Democratic National Convention. The 67 pledged delegates Colorado sends to the national convention will be joined by 13 unpledged PLEO delegates (6 members of the Democratic National Committee; 5 members of Congress, including Senator Michael Bennet and 4 U.S. Representatives; Governor Jared Polis; and former chair of the DNC Roy Romer).

2020 Colorado Proposition EE
Colorado Proposition EE (also the Taxes on Nicotine Products Proposition) was a legislative referendum that appeared on ballots in Colorado in the November 2020 elections. It was a proposal to increase taxes on nicotine products and place a new tax on vaping products.


2020 Colorado Proposition EE, Proposal
Proposition EE originates from HB20-1427, a law that would increase taxes on cigarettes and nicotine products. As all tax increases have to be approved by voters under the Colorado Constitution, a Proposition was needed for the law to enter into effect.


2020 Colorado Proposition EE, Proposal
The Proposition raises taxes on cigarettes and tobacco products, and levies a new tax on nicotine products. Under the proposal, these increases would be phased in between 2021 and 2027, resulting in a tax on cigarettes of $2.64 per pack (up from $0.84), a tax on other tobacco products of 62% of the price which they are sold to retailers at (up from 40%) and a new tax on nicotine products, also set at 62%. Additionally, the Proposition raised the minimum sale price of various nicotine products.


2020 Colorado Proposition EE, Proposal
It is estimated that Proposition EE would generate up to $175.6m extra tax in its first budget year, rising to $275.9m by the time the new rates are fully in place. This would be used to increase funding for free preschool provision (an election pledge of Governor Jared Polis) as well as being used in rural schools, K-12 education, housing development, and general state spending.


2020 Colorado Proposition EE, Campaign, Support
HB20-1427, the legislation which put Proposition EE on the ballot, was sponsored by Representatives Yadira Caraveo and Julie McCluskie and Senators Rhonda Fields and Dominick Moreno.


2020 Colorado Proposition EE, Campaign, Opposition
Opposition to Proposition EE mainly centered around opposition to increasing taxes in general but specifically because the Proposition was seen to be a sin tax. It was also noted by progressive groups who opposed the Proposition, such as the Working Families Party, that it would disproportionately affect poorer and working-class people, because they were more targeted by tobacco companies.


2020 Colorado Proposition EE, Results, Ballot question
Shall state taxes be increased by $294,000,000 annually by imposing a tax on nicotine liquids used in e-cigarettes and other vaping products that is equal to the total state tax on tobacco products when fully phased in, incrementally increasing the tobacco products tax by up to 22% of the manufacturer's list price, incrementally increasing the cigarette tax by up to 9 cents per cigarette, expanding the existing cigarette and tobacco taxes to apply to sales to consumers from outside of the state, establishing a minimum tax for moist snuff tobacco products, creating an inventory tax that applies for future cigarette tax increases, and initially using the tax revenue primarily for public school funding to help offset revenue that has been lost as a result of the economic impacts related to COVID-19 and then for programs that reduce the use of tobacco and nicotine products, enhance the voluntary Colorado Preschool Program and make it widely available for free, and maintain the funding for programs that currently receive revenue from tobacco taxes, with the state keeping and spending all of the new tax revenue as a voter-approved revenue change?

Ardini was followed by perennial candidate Rocky de la Fuente, former governor Bill Weld, incumbent Donald Trump, Matthew John Matern, Joe Walsh, and Zoltan Istvan. De La Fuente, who was on the list when the ballot order was being decided, was not on the final ballot list, having withdrawn his name because of the state's "sore loser" law.
