College Football Playoff: Who would win tournament of all Power Five teams?

The College Football Playoff has been the subject of plenty calling for an expansion in the number of teams, so we had a little fun with that insane idea.

Just over one week ago, the Clemson Tigers demolished the Alabama Crimson Tide to conclude the fifth edition of the College Football Playoff – the four team system that has been the subject of plenty of people wanting to make changes to it since the first year of the system when an undefeated FSU football team somehow was seeded third.

The main argument from some who actually like the playoff is that there are not enough teams – that we should make it eight or more teams so that a college football team is playing the same number of games as a NFL team that doesn’t make the playoffs. While that idea is crazy without a reduction in the number of games, it hasn’t stopped some from whining.

So, in that spirit, we’re going to have a little fun and look at what the College Football Playoff would be if all 64 teams in Power Five conferences were eligible. Teams were seeded based on the number of losses they had before bowl season (luckily, we only had four teams with either zero or one loss, so they all got top seeds) and placed in brackets like the basketball tournament.

Only Power Five teams were allowed (sorry, Notre Dame…time to join a conference like everyone else. Also, sorry UCF…you don’t count) and teams were placed for the most part in the closest geographical area but moved around to avoid intra-conference games in the first round and the Final Four pairings were the same as this season in basketball.
