Welcome back! If you don’t know what is happening here, it is something ridiculous, and I really hope you enjoy it. If you missed Round 1 of the Sickos Committee College Football FA Cup, I have linked it for you here below.

In the first version of this, I asked you to suspend all disbelief immediately. I needed you to dismiss any notions that this would never happen and just go with me on this journey. This is a fantasy college football world, and I wanted you along for the ride. So make sure you check your notions of realness at the door.

Here was how we broke it down for the 764 teams in the College Football FA Cup. Each round draw will be a random draw until we set a hard bracket with the final 16 teams. So remember when you saw teams advance, and it appeared they would meet up in the next round?? Yeah, that will not happen. Everyone is thrown back into a pot until the Round of 16.

Here is the order of the Rounds below:

• Round 1 - 504 Teams Enter = 252 Teams Advance.

• Round 2 - 252 Winners From Round 1 + 4 New Entrants = 128 Teams Advance (WE ARE HERE, OH SO MUCH LEFT TO GO)

• Round 3 - 128 Winners From Round 2 + 128 New Entrants = 128 Teams Advance

• Round 4 - 128 Winners from Round 3 + 128 New Entrants = 128 Teams Advance

• Round 5 - 128 Winners from Round 4 = 64 Teams Advance

• Round 6 - 64 Winners from Round 5 = 32 Teams Advance

• Round 7 - 32 Winners from Round 6 = 16 Teams Advance

• 16 Team Bracket is Set for the Final Path to the College Football FA Cup

• Round 8 - 16 Winners from Round 7 = 8 Teams Advance to the Quarterfinals

• Round 9 - 8 Winners from Round 8 = 4 Teams Advance to the Semifinals

• Round 10 - 4 Winners from Round 9 = 2 Teams Advance to the Championship

• Round 11 - College Football FA Cup Final played at the Independence Bowl

Now, for Round 1, we did a completely random draw for the winners with our random score generator. We wanted some element of whimsy mixed with some chaos for Round 1. We really don’t know what teams would take this seriously.

• Would they let the backups start?

• Try to rest all their star players for this tourney?

• Would they go with a heavily rotated squad, as they sometimes do in England?

In our minds, this College Football FA Cup is going on alongside the regular season. Does a 54-point favorite in SP+ let all their backups play all game, and are they better than a DIII or NAIA team? That is why we chose to do the random score generator. For Round 2, we’re going to slightly tweak things using the SP+ and make the favorites ever so slightly favored in the random score generator, and then dial it up a little bit for each following round. (Hopefully you won’t even notice it.) Meaning, we think the longer the tourney goes on, more and more teams will actually be taking it seriously. Well, let’s get to it!

ROUND 2 - 4 new entrants, 256 teams battle and 128 teams survive!

Help, I gotta make the brackets again

Now remember, the seeding does not matter for Round 3! All the winners will get thrown into a pot and there is a random draw again!

Round 3 - 128 Winners From Round 2 + 128 New Entrants = 128 Teams Advance
