    116 Team MEGA Tournament

    I'm not sure anyone has done anything like this before but I went and printed off a 126 team seeded tournament and looked at the preseason rankings on the game to seed the teams.

    I will be simming these computer v. computer
    8 minute quarters
    Heisman Offense and Defense (not sure if that does anything on sim)

    With 126 teams the top 2 ended up with 1st round byes.

    8 brackets (based on top 8 seeds)
    Quarters are bracket 1 v. 8, 2 v. 7, 3 v. 6, 4 v. 5
    Semis are brackets 1v8/4v5 winners and 2v7/3v6 winners

    Top seeds per bracket
    Bracket 1:
    1 seed: Alabama (first round bye)
    16 seed: Oklahoma State

    Bracket 2:
    2 seed: Ohio State (first round bye)
    15 seed: Texas

    Bracket 3:
    3 seed: Stanford
    14 seed: Florida State

    Bracket 4:
    4 seed: Texas A&M
    13 seed: Oklahoma

    Bracket 5:
    5 seed: Georgia
    12 seed: LSU

    Bracket 6:
    6 seed: Oregon
    11 seed: Louisville

    Bracket 7:
    7 seed: Notre Dame
    10 seed: Florida

    Bracket 8:
    8 seed: South Carolina
    9 seed: Clemson

    I will put up results and anything interesting that happened in 1st round matchups.

    For later rounds I will put up more detail

      Re: 116 Team MEGA Tournament

      First couple of matches:
      First match: #64 Air Force hosted #65 Air Force in a rare first round conference matchup. SD State dominated from the start and won 38-3.

      SD will travel to Alabama in round 2

      Second match: #32 Baylor hosted #97 Toledo
      What will be one of the BIGGEST upsets of the tournament Toledo dominated this game.
      Turning point: With the score tied 7-7 in the first quarter Toledo held Baylor to a FG then scored a TD of their own. They stopped Baylor again with 1 minute to go in the 1st and scored a TD with 23 seconds to go. They then scored 21 unanswered to end the half. Baylor tried to make a comeback in the 3rd down 52-16 they scored 20 unanswered form the end of the 3rd to mid 4th quarter but it was too little too late.

      Toledo will travel to the Wisconsin/Wyoming winner in round 2

        Just put the game on while I am sitting around at night not playing.

        Hopefully I actually get the entire thing done.

        I'll probably not play alot after work and coaching at night so will just put the games on while I eat and do school work at home.

        Will play my dynasties on weekends.

            Its ALL 116 teams in one VERY large tournament. Once coaching school starts next week and the kids come back and I start coaching I wont be able to sim as many games a night so I am going to try and get as many done as possible before Monday and still leave myself plenty of playing time.

            There are 52 first round matches. 32 in the 2nd round, 16, 8, 4, 2, 1.

            If the Toledo upset is any indication this could get very interesting.

                Don't mean to be a "one-upper" but I'm pretty sure it's 126

                  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.
                    My teams: Cowboys, Knicks, Braves, Arsenal FC, Nittany Lions

                      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.
