ESPN Does Something Right, For a Change
Dec 11th 2007Mini MeCollege Football & Media
Nowadays it seems rather difficult to find anything of much significance coming out of Bristol worthy of considerable praise. This isn’t a bad start though…ESPN.com now has a college football playoff simulator. Using the top 16 teams from one of three polls, or you can even custom seed any of the top 25 teams, the simulator predicts the outcome of a college football playoff. Sure it is somewhat primitive, but considering we most likely won’t be seeing a college football playoff anytime soon, this is going to have to due. At least it could provide some non-LSU/Ohio State fans with some bragging rights, if you can construct a bracket in which your team ends up winning it all.

i just really enjoyed that i ran the bcs 16 simulator 10 times and ohio state didn’t “win” the championship once. in fact, they only made it to the final once. yet again: computers smarter than people who rank osu #1

Clemson wins in the 1st round every single time!

I played it 4 times with various seedings, but Ohio St was #1 in all 4. Not only did they not win any of the sims, they lost in the first round every time.

you know why osu lost a bunch? because they aren’t good
