How do you feel about a modified 10-game season?

I've shared some things with this board...this ain't it. Completely made up scenario that has been discussed but doesn't have any legs.

But what are your thoughts on a modified 10 game season?

4 Games: Oct. 17-Nov. 7

Nov. 14 is OPEN/make-up games

4 Games: Nov. 21-Dec. 12

Dec. 19 is B1G Championship Game + a 9th B1G game for all non-championship game teams (indoor NFL stadiums).

All B1G teams play 9 games.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++

All B1G teams get a 10th (or 11th if someone gets to the National Championship) via the CFP, Bowls (for the bowls that actually take place) OR a B1G/PAC-12 challenge...1 extra game for all other teams (regardless of record).

...rapid test at least every other day, independent testing, yada yada yada.

I guess my question is, is it worth playing if you likely miss the CFP because you're 1, 2 or 3 games short?

This plan is viable given the make up date. I'd take this plan at face value. We could finally talk football at Michigan, who's playing at starter roles, etc and who performs at or above expectation in games.

Playoffs mean less this year, unless you're a Buckeye. I like the PAC-12/B1G bowl model as well, thumbs up.
