5-2.    No clue how a bowl would work.

The bowls will all need to be in very late December or January.  The finances behind the non-NY6 bowls has been shaky for a while.   Travel restrictions, stadium restrictions, and almost no chance for the typical charity and fun events should mean most bowls will cancel and/or most teams will opt out.

I would suspect most coaches would prefer an extra couple of weeks of spring practice and/or the ability to start practices for the Fall 2021 campaign earlier.   Those extensions normally wouldn't happen, but COVID seems to be capable of changing a lot of norms.

I think the Pac12 and Big 10 should match-up with each other on December 26-28 to give Pac 12 an 8th game and bowl game replacement. They can play the games at Rose Bowl and other Socal stadiums to get better weather and Rose Bowl experience.
