The thing with bowls is they want teams in them. So if things are to the point in December where bowls can easily happen, they'll probably take anyone who played. There were already exceptions for when not enough teams hit 6 wins, and if nobody is playing 12 games/none against FCS schools, 4 wins might do it.

playing all Big i am just concerned we might not make 4-5 wins!

So does this mean just the regular 9 conference games or moving to a 12 game big ten slate?

I'd guess 9 and they move the season back, or space out games more.

That's going to be a huge gap of weeks between the Purdue and Northwestern games.

They could push back the Purdue or move up the Northwestern game to have the timing of the games more condensed.  Or they could spread the entire schedule out more across the 3 months of the season.

 

EDIT:  It sounds like the initial schedules could be thrown out and wholesale changes to the schedule will be made, including the schedules being front-loaded with divisional games.

At least we don't have to worry about losing to Cincinnati now

[OmahaPlaya]

So if they throw in a non conference game against a league opponent who do you want to see?

I just kept hearing the Curb your Enthusiasm theme song in my head when I saw the news.
