What would a 68-team college football bracket look like for 2016?

What if Washington State coach Mike Leach was right? What if college football used a 68-team bracket -- instead of its current four-team College Football Playoff -- to determine its national champion?

Leach has long argued for a 64-team field in college football. He wants to cut the regular season to 10 games and then emulate college basketball's postseason with a 64-team bracket. The final two teams would play six games in six weeks.

As March Madness tips off, ESPN.com took a crack at setting a 68-team college football field. The brackets are based on the 2016 Way-Too-Early Top 25 and the initial Football Power Index ratings.
