Then its on to the listener-pitched contingency plan for holding a season in 2020, with all 130 FBS teams arranged into 10 13-team conferences for 12-game round robin schedules. The teams are sorted and winners are picked, with analysis including how Penn State gets an easier path to a conference title (36:00) while Ohio State and Michigan continue regional dominance (48:45) and Clemson faces a much tougher draw in its new league (56:15).
