The CFP/ESPN business interest would welcome controversy, with a play by FOX. The FOX play? Get the B1G to ditch the 6-game rule for CG eligibility. Then, CFP/ESPN make the ultimate bet on The Eye Test, by placing a 4-0 Ohio State at 4, in the 2020 CFP. ESPN would have to make this clear to Ohio State, because these terms mean the B1G CG would not get a 4-0 Ohio State. This FOX Sports loss of viewers could help ESPN win that particular noon time-slot, as well. 

Further Opinion: ESPN would do well in promoting The Eye Test, in its CFP promo blitz. "Gotta have a team that passes The Eye Test."
