Ohio State football crowned champion in ESPN’s College Football 64-team hypothetical playoff

ESPN published a hypothetical 64-team college football playoff based on 2020 projections. The Ohio State University won it all.

It is still March, but the only madness going around involves the coronavirus and folks buying up all the toilet paper in our country. We wish nothing but good health and protection for everyone on a path to winning this battle.

Although the NCAA Tournament was canceled because of the many measures put in place to mitigate the spread of the coronavirus, many mock tournaments and simulations have risen up to fill the void many are dealing with.

ESPN has taken things a bit further and designed a 64-team college football playoff. Call it a marriage between the NCAA Tournament and an expansion of the current College Football Playoff. The four No. 1 seeds for each region include Ohio State (Midwest), Clemson (East), Oklahoma (South), and Alabama (West).

And wouldn’t you know, at the end of the road, the worldwide leader crowned THE Ohio State the national champion. There’s no word on whether a virtual banner is on the way.

So what was the road to glory according to the fictional writing of ESPN’s Chris Low? We’ll take you through it.
