Bowl games really pick up over the next week. Everything was delayed, but now we'll get a veritable deluge of games in between Christmas and the New Year's Six games on January 1 (hopefully) and the playoff games. These games are going to be touch-and-go with COVID issues and then the now-routine "opting out" that multiple NFL draft prospects will elect in lieu of risking upcoming contracts on what are ultimately exhibition games.
With the playoff dominating discussions, expansions plausible, and even a Group of 5 playoff sometimes discussed, the era of bowl games is changing rapidly. Add in the extra factors of player opt-outs, the transfer portal, COVID concerns, pre-Bowl game coaching changes, and now a world in which teams are scheduling their own games on the fly based on what best fits the circumstances and it's a brave new world for college football.
