College Football Champions Cup

cubboyroy1826 · 12-26-2011, 04:54 PM

Well since the holidays are here and I have a little free time I figured I would fire up an idea I had been playing around with. I am going to start a dynasty using Second and Ten Football to sim a World Cup style tournament.

I have decided to start in 1970 and will use a 32 team World Cup format. There will be two conferences with 4 divisions each containing 4 teams. Each team will play the other three teams in their division with the top two teams advancing to the knockout round. I am still trying to decide whether I have each team within a division play each other once or do a home and road setup. I will go with the AP final top 20 rankings for each year and the additional 12 at large bids. The at large bids will be randomly placed within a division. I have 31 of the teams from 1970 that will be used and just need one more team so place your votes over the next hour and I will decide on the final team. Here are the 31 teams.

Nebraska
Notre Dame
Texas
Tennessee
Ohio State
Arizona State
Louisiana State
Stanford
Michigan
Auburn
Arkansas
Toledo
Georgia Tech
Dartmouth
USC
Air Force
Tulane
Penn State
Houston
Oklahoma
Northwestern
Washington

Mississippi

Miami - Ohio

Winning record every season of the 70s except 1976.

First three seasons some nice 7-3 teams but then...

1973, 1974, and 1975 have three OUTSTANDING teams with some unreal defenses. They won the then Tangerine bowl (now Capital One) against an SEC team each time. A three year record of 32-1-1.

They take a fall in 76 when everyone graduates and then another 10-1 season, 8-2-1, and a very average year in 79.

Would be a great team for a project like this.

I have to go with Boston College, 8-2 with their only losses to Air force and Penn State, who both made the field.

Oops too late.....

Hit reply, then was researching while you posted the brackets

cubboyroy1826 · 12-26-2011, 07:13 PM

That's okay I will have some more open spots each year that I will need help with. How the heck was BC not ranked at the end of the year with an 8-2 record and did not get to a bowl game?
