Relegation is not the bast way, instead just have a 64 team tournament. The first 2 rounds could be the 1st 2 weeks of the season, when the top teams schedule warm-up home games anyway. Rank the top 32, have them play teams that are close by. The good teams should win, but everyone gets a chance.
After that you can have the remaining 16 teams play in week 6. That would give a month for the 48 other teams to schedule a game against each other.
The last 8 teams could play on week 12, instead of the conference championship, to get down to 4.
