16-team Playoff

Everyone writes an article about what their playoff would look like if there actually were a playoff... Not to be left out, here is ours. We have chosen a model where the conference champion from each conference gets an automatic berth - yes, we know that means that most likely the best 16 teams will not be represented under this system, but we feel that a conference championship ought to be worth something. The other slots in the tournament are filled by at-large teams based on their rankings with no limit to how many teams from a single conference may be represented. That being said, here are our sixteen teams listed in order of their ranking in our analysis:

1. Oregon (PAC10)
2. TCU (MWC)
3. Auburn (SEC)
4. Boise State (WAC)
5. Ohio State (Big 10)
6. Stanford (At Large)
7. Wisconsin (At Large)
8. Alabama (At Large)
9. Nevada (At Large)
10. Virginia Tech (ACC)
11. Oklahoma (Big 12)
12. Arkansas (At Large)
13. UCF (CUSA)
14. Connecticut (Big East)
15. Miami (OH) (MAC)
16. FIU (Sun Belt)
