Imagining the 2017 FCS Playoffs as a 68-Team NCAA Tournament Bracket

The FCS​ Playoffs have already expanded far beyond what the FBS​ has (four teams? really?), but what if things got even crazier? Like March Madness crazy.

Let's just go all out and make the FCS Playoffs a full 68-team bracket in honor of March Madness.

Using last year's playoff field, the Top 25 and BennettRank, we came up with an approximation of the top 68 teams in the country heading into the FCS Playoffs last year, and pitted them against each other. (Note: we made this as fun as possible by including all FCS programs, even those who don't participate in the playoff or played in the Celebration Bowl).

What would the FCS Playoffs look like if it were a 68-team, March Madness-style bracket? Now you know:
