Ohio State in a 64-team College Football Playoff? ESPN imagined that world.

ESPN devised a 64-team March Madness-style college football tournament. How far does it have Ohio State going through two rounds?

Second Round: (1) Ohio State 38, (8) Oklahoma State 20

What ESPN says

“Ohio State has talented skill players all over the field. Then again, when hasn’t that been the case with the Buckeyes? But the difference in this game is Haskell Garrett and that loaded Ohio State defensive line. The Buckeyes sack Sanders six times and keep him on the run all game.”

And that … is as far as Low has taken things out so far. Next up is the regional semifinals, with the following teams still alive in the Midwest.

(1) Ohio State vs. (5) Louisiana
(2) Iowa State vs. (6) Ole Miss

To get a look at the rest of ESPN’s bracket, just go to the college football section of its website and have a gander. It’ll update the next set of games soon, and when they do, we’ll have them for you here.
