Over the past two weeks, college football fans have been witness to a bevy of meaningless bowl games. In December, I outlined a proposal for a 16 team FBS College Football Playoff. To review the proposal, visit this link.
Rather than simply hope that the higher powers of college football will see the light and institute a playoff, let's add a bit of intrigue and simulate the playoffs for the 2008 season. WhatIfSports provides a college football simulation engine at this link. Between tonight and Thursday's BCS National Championship Game, I will simulate each of the 15 games of the hypothetical playoff and report the results on the blog.
To recap the First Round match-ups (games played at higher-seeded team):
1. Oklahoma vs. 16. Troy
8. Penn State vs. 9. Boise State
5. USC vs. 12. TCU
4. Alabama vs. 13. Virginia Tech
6. Utah vs. 11. Cincinnati
3. Texas vs. 14. East Carolina
7. Texas Tech vs. 10. Ohio State
2. Florida vs. 15. Buffalo
The First Round results will follow in a new post.
