College Football: Bracket Style Future

David PhillipsMar 15, 2009

During March, we all know that March Madness and college basketball are some of the most important things that happen during the month.

In basketball, the NCAA has a bracket tournament that allows all 31 conference's to send at least one school to the field of 64, leaving the major conferences to send more than one school.

In football we have bowl games, that almost mean nothing unless you are in the national title game.

But, what if we could have the same format in college football?

I know most of you are by this point are thinking, "It will never happen, or it would never work."

This would have allowed the following teams into the tournament:

Grambling State, Texas State, Appalachian State, Jacksonville, Colgate, Eastern Kentucky, Albany, Southern Illinois ,South Carolina State, Brown , James Madison, Cal Poly, Liberty, and Weber State.

All of these teams are FCS (D1-AA) conference winner's and would get the automatic berths along with: Troy, Boise State, Florida, USC, Utah, Buffalo, East Carolina, Navy, Penn State, Cincinnati, Virginia Tech, and Oklahoma—all the FBS (D1-A) conference winner's.

That's only 26 of the 64 we need.

We could have rules like you have to be at least a six game winner.

We then would include:

ACC: Florida State, Boston College, Maryland, Wake Forest, Georgia Tech, and North Carolina.

Big 12: Missouri, Nebraska, Kansas, Texas Tech, Texas, and Oklahoma State.

Big East: Pittsburgh, West Virginia, Rutgers, South Florida, and UConn.

Big Ten: Ohio State, Michigan State, Iowa, and Northwestern.

Pac 10: Oregon, Oregon State, Cal, and Arizona

SEC: Georgia, Mississippi, LSU, Vanderbilt, South Carolina, and Alabama.

Conference USA: Rice and Houston.

Mountain West: TCU and BYU.

Mid American: Ball State.

WAC: Louisiana Tech.

And then Notre Dame.

Instead of the bowl games, we could name the games with those bowl titles, with the only difference being that a team could win more than one bowl game.

Make's sense to me.
