It’s the final weekend! 19 teams, 10 weekend games, 10 slots, 1 wonderful tournament!

After last weekend, my tournament “seemed” to have 18 teams eligible going into the last weekend of the season.  Well….now the MAC champ and Boise State are knocking at the door, so I have to add those three teams; 21.  But, due to the wins by the teams above them, I am declaring Texas A & M and South Carolina out of consideration.  So, 19 teams have a shot at 10 slots.

Thursday night starts the elimination phase to get down to ten teams for my college football tournament.  Louisville and Rutgers will face off, the winner either certainly or definitely winning the Big East.  Even though soon both will be heading (maybe running) in opposite direction to new conferences.

1) Notre Dame

14-15) Kansas State/Oklahoma (or KSU if they both lose)

Bubble teams, likely for one slot:

16) Louisiana State
