Ah crap, yeah 126, I dont know why I was thinking...well nothing should change except for less first round byes.

117-126 will just take on the other seeds which means only the top 2 get first round byes.

Top post edited...top 2 seeds per bracket listed. ONLY top 2 seeds get a bye.

Not a bad idea, I was going to this like a World Cup style with groups and knock out stages.

I will be simming these computer v. computer 8 minute quarters Heisman Offense and Defense (not sure if that does anything on sim) I will put up results and anything interesting that happened in 1st round matchups. For later rounds I will put up more detail I will scan and put up the bracket later if I have time.

I don't know why... but I have always found things like this to be very cool/interesting... so THANK YOU for taking the time to do this and share with us!

I figured when I am sitting around relaxing at night not playing it would be fun to do.

Final 5 bracket 1 matches:
96 Wyoming @ 33 Wisconsin
113 Buffalo @ 16 Oklahoma State
80 USF @ 49 Iowa
112 Army @ 17 TCU
81 Boston College @ 49 Texas Tech

I will try and get MOST of these done tonight and then move on to bracket 2.

It will be interesting to see how this turns out. I always have fun with things like this.

If the Toledo upset at Baylor is any indication I hope this is really interesting.

Unfortunately for my my Badgers are slated to possibly face off with Bama in the round of 32, was hoping for a better draw than that but who knows.

SO I started super simming through the first 3 quarters and letting the 4th play out.

33 Wisconsin def. 96 Wyoming 36-13
Wisconsin will host Toledo next

16 Oklahoma State def. Buffalo 45-20
Buffalo was up 14-13 with 33 seconds in the first half. OSU kicked a FG then scored 22 unanswered in the 3rd.

49 Iowa def. 80 USF 34-31 in OT.
Iowa scored the tying TD late in the 4th, USF missed a FG with 54 seconds left, Iowa had 2 Time Outs left and let the clock run on first down before passing it down field and getting out of bounds on 2nd and 3rd before missing on a hail mary into the end zone.
Iowa scored a FG to start OT then picked off USFs first pass in the end zone to pull off the win.

Oklahoma State will host Iowa in the next round.

Was going to sim more tonight but it froze at the end of the Iowa game so I shut it down.
