The 2012 NCAA Football Tournament

Once again, we've reached the holiday season, which means it's time to use the BCS to rank the top teams in college football for the 3rd annual NCAA football tournament. These games will be played over the next several weeks leading up to an NCAA Championship Game. The Alabama Crimson Tide are the defending champs and return this season as a #2 seed. Here is the schedule for the first round.

2012 NCAA Football Tournament

#10 South Carolina (10-2) at #7 Georgia (11-2), 11:30 am
#15 Northern Illinois (12-1) at #2 Alabama (12-1), 3 pm
#9 Texas A&M (10-2) at #8 LSU (10-2), 6:30 pm
#11 Oklahoma (10-2) at #6 Stanford (11-2), 10 pm

Saturday, December 15, 2012
#14 Clemson (10-2) at #3 Florida (11-1), 11:30 am
#16 Nebraska (10-3) at #1 Notre Dame (12-0), 3 pm
#12 Florida State (11-2) at #5 Kansas State (11-1), 6:30 pm
#13 Oregon State (9-3) at #4 Oregon (11-1), 10 pm

The first round features a border war between South Carolina and Georgia to open it up and an in-state showdown between Oregon and Oregon State to close it out. The tournament features a record 6 teams from the SEC, 3 from the Pac-12, 2 each from the Big 12 and ACC, and 1 each from the MAC, Big 10, and the independents. In the past, I would wait for the actual date on the calendar to play the game, but I will use previous weather data to give each day the proper weather if the scheduled date has not passed IRL.
