Note: I've made lots of threads about this, but it's time for my annual
college football tournament. What I do is take the top 64 teams in the
nation (based on records) and seed them into a tournament similar to
college basketball's postseason tourney. There are certain rules I
apply during seeding, so none of this is based on personal opinion.
Games will be simulated exactly ONE TIME using whatifsports.com to
increase the odds of upsets happening. Below is the official
tournament.
