The 2011 NCAA Football Tournament

It's time for the 2nd annual college football tournament using the BCS for what it should be used for, namely to seed the top 16 teams in college football for a single-elimination tournament. Like last season, I will play these games over the next few weeks, culminating in an NCAA Championship Game. I ran this tournament on The Big Kovalsky blog last year, with Boise State beating Wisconsin for the national title. Boise State is back again this year, along with 15 other challengers for college supremacy. Here is the schedule for the first round...

Saturday, December 17, 2011

The first round features a rematch of the Championship Game from last season between Wisconsin and Boise State, as well as a rematch of Oklahoma and Oklahoma State from several weeks ago. The tournament features five teams from the SEC, four from the Big 12, and two each from the ACC, Big 10, and Pac 12, with only Boise State from a small conference (at least, this year). I will have results as they become available. ;)
