There are numerous uncertainties surrounding the college football postseason in 2020. It’s currently unclear if we will even have a season in the first place, let alone how a bowl season could be conducted given the circumstances of the COVID-19 pandemic.
It’s almost guaranteed that some bowls will be cut and qualifications for eligibility will be lowered as two leagues in both the Power Five and Group of Five have canceled the fall seasons.
With this in mind, CBS Sports analyst Jerry Palm tried his hand at projecting the bowl season this fall.
It remains to be seen how cancelations from the Big Ten, Pac-12 and others will impact the bowl season, but Palm’s projections help give us an idea. He has three SEC teams in New Year’s Six games, as well as two teams from the American Athletic Conference.
Palm has the Gators missing the College Football Playoff but making it to the New Year’s Six for the third time in as many seasons. He projects a return trip to the Orange Bowl in Miami, which Florida won against Virginia last season.
NEXT: Who will the Gators play?
