5 LSU 10-2
6 VT 10-2
7 Kansas 11-1
8 USC 9-2

1st Round
17 Texas 9-3 @
16 Clemson 9-3...........winner @ 1 Mizzou
.
24 Arkansas 8-4 @
9 OU 10-2.................winner @ 8 USC

18 Oregon 8-3 @
15 Illinois 9-3..............winner @ 2 WV

Why not start with the craziest season ever, pre current-nonsense?
For the Gators here, easy 1st round win.  I think 55 TD Tebow & Harvin just out-talent KU's Cinderella team.  Our pass D sucked, so we'd have a chance vs West Virginia with Pat White running the ball.  But without a sturdy defense, that's about as far as they could go.

This playoff would have been chaos.  No guarantees that Mizzou and WV make it  to the semifinals.

I would guess the 2 semis would be

4 LSU vs 8 USC
10 Florida. Vs 3 Ohio St

NCG
LSU over Florida
