The network reportedly was forwarding the idea of replacing conference championship games with play-in games in the four remaining major leagues. This “20-team” model, which is effectively a 16-team tournament with play-in games, could theoretically preserve ESPN’s exclusive rights for the CFP. The 20-team idea reportedly was met by a discussion that was “brief and dismissed.” All credit to ESPN, the 20-team idea is actually a tangible idea that could lead us somewhere.
