The real National Champ decided here

[sunshinekid56]

The tournament teams and seedings were decided by taking all 11 conference winners (not including independents) and 5 at-large teams(decided by the combined rankings of the AP and Coaches poll) The seedings were also decided by the combined rankings of AP and Coaches poll. Each game in the tournament is played at a current bowl game sight (so they can still make there money). Here's how the tournament would look.

1.USC (11-1)(Pac-10)
vs. (Liberty Bowl)
16.North Texas (9-3) (Sun-Belt)

8.Kansas State (11-3) (Big-12)

10.Miami (10-2) (Big East)

15.Southern Miss. (9-3) (Conference USA)

Miami 7 - 20 - 7 - 0 - 34

LSU scored first and looked to be manhandling Miami early in the game. However, as the game went on the Miami defense was able to get pressure on LSU Quarterback, Matt Mauck, which led to him throwing 6 interceptions. 2 of the Interceptions came from Miami LB D.J. Williams. He returned both interceptions for touchdowns to spark the Hurricanes. Sean Taylor also added two picks for the Canes.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Semi-Final Matchups

FSU (12-2) vs Texas (12-2) at the Rose Bowl
-Both FSU and Texas' defenses have looked strong allowing 13 and 17 points respectively. However the Texas offense is averaging 30.5 points per game, while FSU is scoring only 15.5. Texas quarterback Chance Mock has looked strong in the first two games and hopes to keep it up and lead the Longhorns into the championship game.

Oklahoma (14-1) vs Miami (12-2) at the Orange Bowl
-The Hurricanes had struggled during the regular season, but have come on strong in the post season. Oklahoma had a tough game against Ohio State and hopes to rebound with the same type of intensity against the Canes.

With the possiblity of a Miami vs FSU or a Oklahoma vs Texas National championship the semi-finals are sure to be two intense football games. I'll update again when the Semi-Finals are complete.

This is the way I would like to see college football go. Include all of the conferences in a 16 team tournament. And don't give me that BS about missed class time because most schools are off from mid-December to mid-January anyway for Christmas break.

Too bad EA took the option to have a tournament out of NCAA Football. The Playstation version a few years back had an option of completing the season with a tournament or with bowls. You could have a real national champion. This is one of the big things I'd like to see added to NCAA 2005.

[Lonestar210]

I love your tournament, keep it coming.

Like what your doing. Looking at the game by game scoring and stats is interesting and fun. And it just gives you a taste of what could be. Not only does Ncaa 2004 let us play the game, and recruit etc., it can let us live out our playoff dreams too.
