USA Today's 64 Team College Football Bracket

Florida State, Stanford, LSU, Alabama Final Four

64 teams is ridiculous for football.

12 would be ideal. Four teams get a first round bye, four get a first round home game, and you have at least one and maybe as many as 6-7 wild cards. Every team has a chance at the beginning of the year. Every conference has a chance as long as its champion proves itself on the field. Every game is a battle for something of significance.

No reason to have half the teams that play make it in The tourney

this is idiotic

LSU in Championship

those Cajuns couldn't beat the gamecocks to win the east. Some good / odd matchups to be had along the way though.

I'd like to see it.

Pretty cool layout, but badly formatted.

Florida State and Michigan State, and Alabama and Auburn should be the Final Four match-ups if it came to that.

Also USC and Oregon shouldn't be a second round match-up.

While I like the thought pattern, the possibility of 6 more games for any team is unrealistic. They would have to cut the regular season down to 8 games. I would like to see more than 4 teams in the playoff. Minimum of 6. I think 8 would be about as close as you could get to the top ten unless the 1 and 2 seed each draw a bye in a top 10 team bracket. JMO

*8 team playoff

so a championship team would have to play 6 games to win the whole thing. That seems a little extreme. Only way that would happen is if the cut the regular season to 8 or 9 games. I can see an 8 game playoff though.

Do the Ragin Cajuns get a trophy when we win the East?

I believe that is a tough draw LSU would have! Both Oregon and Ohio State in their region. I like the idea!

i think you should have the FCS schools in there too

That would be awesome!!

I would so love this. Id easily prefer this over the bowl system. All you need to do is shorten regular season some games. Maybe well see this 50 years in the future. Doubt it but who knows anything can happen

That would be the best draw LSU could hope for.

Absolutely would love to see this happen.

Kind of unfair to Auburn that they put the one team that beat them in their bracket. :lol:

No, but would be happy to see some sort of 8-16 team format.
