More on College Football

One kind reader wrote in and wanted me to extrapolate on the College football playoff system I suggested in this post. So here goes...

First, we seed the teams according to my suggestions. For cross reference, here is where I found rankings.
1. Alabama
2. Texas
3. Cincinnati
4. TCU
5. Boise State
6. Oregon
7. Ohio State
8. Georgia Tech
9. Central Michigan
10. East Carolina
11. Troy
12. Florida (next highest in BCS standings - not a conference Champion)
13. Iowa
14. Virginia Tech

Numbers one and two (Alabama and Texas, respectively) get a first week Bye.

#3 Cincinnati vs. #14 Virginia Tech.
This game is a close game in the first half. Then Cincinnati's offense takes over in the second half. Cincy wins 42-28.

#4 TCU vs. #13 Iowa.
Iowa never knows what hits them. TCU races to a 42-7 halftime lead and cruises to a 62-34 victory. Iowa only scores a couple when TCU calls off the dogs in the 3rd quarter and puts in the reserves.

#5 Boise State vs. #12 Florida.
Played on the Blue Field in Oregon, Tebow and company find the Gator blue uniforms blend in. Or at least, that's the excuse used by Boise state as they get blown out 52-23.

#6 Oregon vs. #11 Troy.
This game goes down to the wire. Everybody knows PAC-10 football is way overrated - including Troy, who holds a 24-19 lead late. It takes a miracle drive as time expires for Oregon to secure a 25-24 win.

#7 Ohio State vs. #10 East Carolina.
Ohio State gets shell-shocked. Big 10 football takes another post-season hit as the Buckeyes fall to the upstart East Carolina team 31-30.

#8 Georgia Tech vs. #9 Central Michigan.
Rushing the ball is rarely flashy, but it is effective. Georgia Tech builds a 17-0 halftime lead and runs the ball and the clock just enough to hold off Central Michigan and their three field goals. Final score - 17-16.
