But what would a 64-team FOOTBALL tournament look like?
ESPN has put one together (Crowning a champion in college football’s 2024 64-team playoff), and while we are absolutely not going to spoil the outcome of the article – it’s very good, written by Chris Low and you should read it – we will tell you that, as Low points out, in their Sweet 16, 11 of them are either SEC or Big Ten.
