For all the handwringing over a quote taken out of context this morning, here is what Drinkwitz was actually proposing:
16 teams:
- 4 SEC AQs
- 4 BIG AQs
- 3 ACC AQs
- 3 Big 12 AQs
- 2 G5 or Independent
This is where 30 teams comes from:
- 8 SEC teams have a play-in game for four AQs
- 8 BIG teams have a play-in game for four AQs
- 6 Big 12 teams have a play-in game for three AQs
- 6 ACC teams have a play-in game for three AQs
- 2 G5 or Independent spots
I still don’t really like this format. But it’s not that far off from what is being talked about by turning Conference Champ weekend into a play-in weekend. In fact, it expands access to the ACC and Big 12.
