What makes college football, college football? Welcome to the Tournament of College Football Things. You decide what makes the sport what it is.


What makes college football the sport it is?

When you think college football, what matters? What’s great about it? What makes the game special?

They can be great games, historic teams, legendary coaches and players, the atmosphere – however you want to define this uniquely American sport.

We’ve created a Tournament of College Football Things, and we’re going to let you vote and decide what goes forward and what or who gets knocked out.

In general, we try to keep this as positive and fun as possible – yes, there are a slew of massive scandals that could be on here – so there’s just one NCAA sanction thing that makes the tournament, partially because it seems quaint by comparison to other controversies.

Go on Twitter to @ColFootballNews and vote throughout the entire process. The First Four voting is up now, and then the rest of the tournament will get started on Monday afternoon.

First Four Out

– Redshirting, 1945 Army, 2-point conversions, Steve Spurrier

2020 NCAA Basketball Tournament Bracket. What Might Have Happened?

What if the 2020 NCAA Basketball Tournament went off like normal? What the bracket might have been, and what would’ve happened in each game?

What if the 2020 NCAA Basketball Tournament went off like normal? What the bracket might have been, and what would’ve happened in each game?


Let’s just pretend this whole global nightmare thing didn’t happen, and let’s just assume that the 2020 NCAA Basketball Tournament went off as normal.

Everyone is healthy, there are crowds, there are bands, everyone is playing – including Duke and Kansas – and there’s all the fun of what’s normally this most glorious time on the sports calendar.

We’re going to play this out over the next several days from the First Four right up to the national championship with our own brackets, seedings, and game outcomes.

Let’s have some fun.

We try to figure out what the best overall matchups might be, throw in games that would make geographic sense, NET Rankings, and – sorry for being boring – we go chalk on who the conference tournament champions might have been.

And then it’s Game On.

Just so there’s absolutely no confusion – of course the real NCAA Tournament is cancelled – these are all our seedings, matchups, lines, brackets and projections. Nothing about this comes from the NCAA selection committee. 

The 2020 NCAA Basketball Tournament bracket might have been (trying to get it as close to the pin as possible) …

Ohio State basketball makes move in latest Bracketology projections

It’s time to look again at the projected NCAA Tournament seeding of the Ohio State basketball team, just before the Big Ten Tournament.

It’s time to check in again with our favorite NCAA Tournament bracket projections. When we last checked in, Ohio State was somewhere around a No. 6 seed in most of the reputable bracket projections out there.

Since then, the Buckeyes beat a ranked Illinois team at home, then fought hard but fell to a Big Ten co-champ Michigan State team that’s peaking at the right time in East Lansing.

Add that to all the results across the country and things are bound to change right? Well, we’re here to tell you. We check in on these sort of things at least weekly as the postseason gets closer and closer.

Here are where things stand just before Big Ten Tournament play heats up this week.

Ohio State moves up in USA Today’s Bracketology. What seed line is it on now?

The Ohio State basketball team, after a hectic last few weeks in college basketball, has improved its seed line according to USA TODAY.

The Ohio State basketball team, after a hectic last few weeks in college basketball, have been placed as a five seed in USA Today’s most recent bracketology.

At that No. 5 seed, the Buckeyes would take on Stephen F. Austin in the Midwest Region out in Sacramento.

Thankfully, given SF Austin’s track record, this is just what USA Today predicts will happen and by no means how it will actually turn out with conference tournaments ahead. There is bound to be some changes and jostling of positions multiple times over.

Ohio State has Auburn, Duke, Seton Hall, and Kansas as their No. 4 through No. 1 seed in respective order. That’s a tough bracket and one that hopefully isn’t going to be what Ohio State sees itself battling come mid-March.

Another interesting point is that the Big Ten has the most teams in the tournament (10), but according to the site’s rankings, do not have a top-eight ranked team.

The Buckeyes, currently sitting at 20-9 and 15-2 at home, are an easy lock to make the tournament at this point no matter how the rest of the season shakes out.

They do, however, have a chance to improve their place with games against Illinois and Michigan State to go along with the Big Ten Tournament still on their schedule.

It’s only going to get more fun from here on out.
