Rivals Only

This would mimic the Las Vegas bubble idea with just two games but these would be on-campus matchups. If we are very optimistic then maybe there could be fans in the stands.

This way could also have some sort of staggered start so that games can be spread out with warmer home games in February and then have games when it gets a bit more bearable in March and April to finish up this season.

These are not perfect as some teams have three rivalries, some have one and according to Wikipedia — the truth-teller of them all — New Mexico has no Mountain West rivalries.
