What bowls would we have if they took place in the summer?
Let's say that the football season was flipped to the other half of the year - it started in February and the regular season wrapped up late May. Under that most of the bowls would happen in June plus the '4th of July Six' major bowls, CFP, and other stragglers in July. How would the 39 bowls be different from now? I doubt some of the smaller cities or duplicate city games in the south would have bowls over larger midwest and northeastern cities given the former's heat, I see the following going down:

Out:
Arizona
Armed Forces
Bahamas
Birmingham
Boca Raton
Camellia
Cure
Frisco
Independence
Mobile
New Mexico

In:
Cheese Bowl (Milwaukee)
Cincy Bowl (Cincinnati)
Gateway Bowl (St. Louis)
Great Lakes Bowl (Cleveland)
Hoosier Bowl (Indianapolis)
International Bowl (Toronto)
Mile High Bowl (Denver)
New England Bowl (Boston)
Philly Bowl (Philadelphia)
Steel Bowl (Pittsburgh)
Windy City Bowl (Soldier Field, Chicago)

RE: What bowls would we have if they took place in the summer?
Frankly I'd be a fan of making the bowls an August affair with placement and eligibility determined by the previous season's record and then an expanded playoffs in December/January.

I'd even be a fan of a few destination cities being the site of multiple games over the course of the long weekend. Less desirable sites like Shreveport, Memphis, and Mobile could host multiple G5s. You might even see institutions playing host annually.

Nah, there might be watering down of some bowl games, but I like bowl season.

With an average month of June temperature of 76 degrees we'd all be watching the Blue Ridge Bowl hosted at Kidd Brewer Stadium in Boone, NC

I do too.

For all their flaws, they're usually decent matchups evenly spread across an entire month. As a South Carolina fan, I get to travel 5 times a decade or so to Florida to watch my team play. It's great overall.

Kansas City and Arrowhead Stadium would be in the mix for sure. They had big time success with the Big 12 championship game, MU/KU game, etc.

I wouldn't mind going to a bowl in Boone even in December. Beautiful stadium in a beautiful setting.

Call the New England one either the Chowder Bowl or the Lobster Bowl.

Also have one anyway because winter football is fun.

Come to think of it, the New Era Bowl would actually work.
