CFB: March Madness 64-team Style College Football Bracket

March Madness is upon us. With the 64-team college basketball field set on Selection Sunday, it should be a fun next few weeks in college hoops. That got me thinking, what would a 64-team college football bracket look like? It’s unlikely we will ever get a tournament that large in a sport like football (I would vote for an 8- or 16-team field), it’s fun to think about. 

Let’s take a crack at what a 64-team playoff would look like 

*NOTE* I am using RPI to base where I rank the at-large teams, besides the 10 conference winners. I AM ONLY USING FBS TEAMS.

AUTO BIDS: Alabama (SEC), Ohio State (Big Ten), Clemson (ACC), Oklahoma (Big 12), Oregon (Pac-12), Cincinnati (American), UAB (Conference USA), Ball State (MAC), San Jose State (Mountain West), Coastal Carolina (Sun Belt)*

**Conference championship game was canceled due to COVID-19. Giving CCU the benefit of the doubt.
