Well, one scenerio that was floated around was that the schools would follow a schedule similar to the Big Ten. They play a twelve game schedule but seem to finish two weeks before everyone else. It'll still finish in January because the Bowl season is three weeks and it takes about four or five for other divisions in college football, so it is feasible. And using the bowls that are already out there for matchups would still ensure schools, companies, cities, etc. get paid.
