I'm still not exactly optimistic about a 2020 season because of all of the mess going on. Some justified, some not. Either way here's an idea on something that could possibly work IMO:
Every team plays an eight game regular season in 2020. Each conference would be a bit different but UT's schedule would look something like this:
Saturday, September 19th - at Arkansas
Saturday, September 26th - vs Florida
Saturday, October 3rd - vs Missouri
Saturday, October 10th - at South Carolina
OFF WEEK
Saturday, October 24th vs Alabama
Saturday, October 31st vs Kentucky
Saturday, November 7th at Georgia
Saturday, November 14th at Vandy
SEC Championship game Saturday, November 21st
Bowl games start Monday, November 30th
Monday, December 7th - Rose/Sugar Bowls - CFB Playoffs
Saturday, December 12th - Fiesta and Orange Bowls
Sunday, December 13th - Cotton Bowl
Monday, December 14th - National Championship Game
Season is done before Christmas - only playing schools from your conference in regular season to tighten down the schedule. Still one off week built in. Pushed back start of season to September 19th so teams can practice prior to season. You play everyone in your division as scheduled and then two from the other division - your main rival and one other team that was already on your schedule.
Yes, logistically I'm sure if I really took a deep dive into my scenario there would have to be some modifications and it wouldn't be perfect but it would make sense for the most part to stay in conference for games in 2020-2021. I just want some type of a season and imagining that every game each week is a conference game and there's no cupcakes isn't too hard of a pill for me to swallow.
