I'm tempted to say conference championship games....which began because of conference expansion to over 10 schools.....except that they didn't play the other 9 when they were comprised of 10......so that's not it.

I still have to re-re-re-emphasize that college football limiting itself to only the top 25-30 programs would be a massive mistake.  More initial TV money, sure, but as the NFL exists, what good is an NFL-lite? 
Stupid stupid stupid.

An NC State or a Texas Tech or a Pitt has value. 
1 - can be an upstart and truly matter from time to time
2 - can provide wins for the blue bloods (yes, an 11-1 champ is more appealing than an 8-4 champ)
3 - provides lower-stakes opportunities for ingenuity and innovation (a la Leach Air Raid, maybe some triple option, or whatever will replace the current spread RPO).
