RULES: COLLEGE FOOTBALL
| Minor tweaks to the NCAA postseason for 2025/2026: The 5 highest ranked conference title game winners are in the playoffs. 7 more teams earn a playoff berth based on their rankings. The top 4 (regardless of conference title status) get a bye. Teams 5-8 host a playoff game vs teams 9-12 in the first round. The 4 winners advance to face the 4 teams with byes in the quarterfinals. These games will be played in traditional bowls, as will the semifinals. The final two teams standing play in the National Championship. Capital One and ESPN brand the whole thing. Q1: 2025 Regular Season The top ~50 teams have been tiered. Select eight teams (4 from Tier1 and 4 from Tier2). In Tier1, you must select 4 teams with a max seed budget of 30 In Tier2, you must select 4 more teams with a max budget of 22 Your eight selected teams will earn points as follows: ...7 pts for each win (regular season, conference title or postseason) ..20 pts for a playoff berth ..15 pts for a conference title game win that does not result in a playoff berth* ..10 pts for a bowl or playoff win** ..10 pts for a National Championship berth ..20 pts for a National Championship title * Independents cannot claim this bonus ** Teams can and will earn multiple playoff wins; a bye is not a win There are a few more NCAA football teams out there.
