The bowl games would still be spread out, you're just spreading out the bigger bowl games, giving better ratings to those games. The people who were going to watch the lesser bowls still will, but you would also be getter better ratings for the big ones.
So don't move the games up a weekend. You still have plenty of time.
As far as recruiting. I think that kid in Smalltown, USA won't mind waiting around an extra week before UCS comes to visit him because they were do busy being crowned national champions. The recruiting schedule you gave wouldn't be destroyed by 8 teams playing a tournament.
