What a college football 64-team playoff bracket would look like in 2021

Why should basketball get to have all the fun in March?

Better yet, why limit college football to a four-team playoff? 64 teams make it a lot more fun -- and a lot more representative.

Here's the format for ESPN's fictional 2021 NCAA football tournament: We've seeded the teams 1 through 64, and the seeds are based to a large degree on ESPN's latest SP+ projections entering the 2021 season. The top four teams are Alabama, Clemson, Ohio State and Oklahoma (yes, the usual suspects). With the Sooners being the fourth No. 1 seed, that means they will travel to the West Region.
