16 TEAM FORMAT
Let’s go insane. If the format was based on all Power Five conference champions, a top Group of Five champ, and ten wild-cards based on the ranking.
If you can’t get in THIS, you have no complaint. However, (17) Notre Dame would have a wee bit of a a beef as the No. 15 team.
No. 16 Cincinnati vs. No. 1 LSU
There would be a massive break for the No. 1 seed in this format. MASSIVE.
No. 15 Michigan vs. No. 2 Ohio State
The committee would probably try to do something to work around this, but the rankings are the rankings. There’s no way this would actually happen – one of the two teams would obviously lose the head-to-head before this.
No. 14 Wisconsin vs. No. 3 Clemson
Could Wisconsin impose its will against Clemson? Dabo would be ticked to have to deal with the Badgers over some of the higher seeds.
No. 13 Baylor vs. No. 4 Georgia
It would be a low-scoring slugfest, but Baylor might not score.
No. 12 Auburn vs. No. 5 Alabama
Ohhhhhh, no. This wouldn’t happen in the real world. But it would be a blast.
No. 11 Florida vs. No. 6 Oregon
Would the 11-seed be favored? The Gator secondary would have to step up its all-around game if Oregon started to open it up.
No. 10 Oklahoma vs. No. 7 Utah
Power vs. Flash. Utah would have to grind it out a bit, but it would have to get ready for a shootout.
No. 9 Penn State vs. No. 8 Minnesota
Oh sure, let’s do it again. It was a blast the first time around.
