Welcome to the USA TODAY College Wires’ Ultimate College Football Helmet bracket. All 130 FBS teams in Division I will have the chance to go all the way, and the massive bracket is split into four 32-team regions.
Starting on Monday, you’ll be able to vote for your favorite helmets on each of our four regional host sites: Fighting Irish Wire, Longhorns Wire, UGA Wire and Wolverines Wire.
Before Notre Dame and the other top seeds see any first round challengers, though, we need to determine which schools will occupy the final two places. In the first No. 32 vs. No. 32 matchup, UConn takes on UMass, while in-state rivals Georgia State and Georgia Southern battle for the right to face the Georgia Bulldogs in the first round.
The winners will advance to the main bracket, with the opening round beginning on Monday morning. Cast your vote before it’s too late! Polls will close at 7 a.m. ET on Monday, December 5.
