I'm not saying 32 because someone floated it.

Exactly.

24.

I think 24 – That's it?

Here's two reasons.

Everybody wants to get their panties in a bunch about what's going on.

I think everybody has to understand –

There is no time in college football, in my opinion, where the 16th team or the 18th team in the country could possibly win it all.

And you look at last year, like Miami got in really the last seed, and they were in a national championship game and could have won it, right?

And I just think with NIL, with revenue share, with a transfer portal, teams can literally – look at Indiana, right?

Yeah.

Two years after a guy takes over, they win a national championship walking away with it.

So I think the more you can include – and then I would also argue –

The Illinois-Wisconsin game in Week 10, when maybe not everybody's paying attention, but we both are at eight wins, we need to get to nine, and to get to ten, that game is much more important now than ever before.

And I think it would actually enhance the back half of the schedule and viewership and entertainment value than ever before.

So I think the number's 24.

Tony Petitti, I think our commissioner, he's five steps ahead of everybody else, and I just think he –

has seen a vision of this, and I think it would be a really good thing.

And then I think two things to this point.

If you have a certain ranking, right, in the top, I believe it's actually top eight, you would get guaranteed the second game would be a playoff game at home.
