So 15 out of 59 FBS games, including those involving 6 top-25 teams, were postponed/canceled last weekend. However, the Pac-12 was able to salvage UCLA vs. Cal, so we'll call it 14 out of 59, or 23.7%.
For week 12, we have 62 FBS games scheduled, starting on Thursday. As of Monday at 1:30 pm, four games have been postponed/canceled, including one involving a top-25 team (#5 Texas A&M). In the Pac-12 ASU/CU has already been canceled, and we'll see what happens with USC/Utah or the other conference games.
Assuming we get through a regular season--which is an assumption, not a presumption in my book--it will be interesting to see if the CFP and four participating teams can institute some kind of bubble. I can't imagine a virus-free situation in which players go home for Christmas/winter break and return to their respective campuses.

If there's one thing people have learned in Berkeley, it's that you can't put "Cal football" and "Rose Bowl" in the same sentence. The words just don't fit. You'd be better off linking "covered wagons" with "Mars travel." (Bruce Jenkins, Cal '70, SF Chronicle, Nov. 11, 2017)
