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 Rounds 1-7 of the Sickos Committee College Football FA Cup, I have linked them for you here below in one link, that contains all the links. So you have to go link diving now if you want or just join this in progress as we finally bring this offseason series to a close.

Now that you’re caught up!

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

• 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

• WE’RE PLAYING THIS TILL THE END! WHO WILL WIN!!

• 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. And this could technically apply for all rounds. We really don’t know what teams would take this seriously. And this could technically apply for all rounds.

If these teams have made it this far, you’d think they would be going all out for it, maybe unless you are a National Title Contender or Power Conference Title contender? Would you rest your starters to try to sneak to the quarterfinals?? Could you manage it?? Do you sub in your starters if the first half isn’t going well? We don’t know how these teams will play it. If you’re a championship-starved team, you’d likely go all out and not try to put all your eggs in one basket, right?

ROUND 8 - FINAL 16 - 8 move on to the Quarterfinals!

Also, remember the big schools could be playing away at the smaller schools, just like in the FA CUP! And I am taking out the rankings at this point to make it easier to read.

Round of 16 Breakdown - I make up fake things that happened in these games.

• Miami (OH) wins 56-40 and takes down Oregon. You could say Oregon could have been resting players, but who knows as they’ve never won a title… Congrats to the Redhawks, and there is no slight against this MACTION team.

• Miami (FL) takes down South Florida in an incredibly high-scoring game 73-62. They may have played basketball or just decided it by playing Arena football.

• Boise State beats TCU in a battle of old Mountain West foes 23-14. Yes, that is correct; TCU was in the Mountain West at one time. This was a clean hard-fought game that swung on a punt return fumble which led to a safety.

• Texas A&M takes down the Green Wave 33-21. Kyle Field was too intense for Tulane, and being this close to a title, A&M fans were in a never-before-seen frenzy.

• Notre Dame beat Memphis 80-35 in the Liberty Bowl. Rumors of Touchdown Jesus visiting the Bass Pro Shop Pyramid and becoming infused with some sort of unknown magical powers surfaced on social media. Who knows if this will help or hurt the Irish going forward?

• Toledo took down UTEP 78-39. This shows the awesome power of the Glass Bowl when you put sun in it.

• Iowa beat Syracuse 81-0. You know that night that Iowa beat Ohio State 55-24 and Kinnick Stadium at night became so powerful, and then it was wave after wave of big plays and errors by Ohio State? Imagine that happening even more just to Syracuse this time.

• Duke takes down the Dukes of James Madison 64-10. Something about Duke in bracket-style tournaments—the Blue Devils always seem to handle business.

ROUND 9 - The Quarterfinals

The Quarterfinal Breakdown - I make up fake things that happened in these games.

• Miami (FL) takes down Miami (OH) in the Confusion Bowl 55-31. The Redhawks kept up offensively in the first half but couldn’t maintain the pace in the second half as the Hurricanes pull away.

• Boise State upsets Texas A&M 48-41. The Broncos were used to incredibly hostile environments. They pull out a triple reverse pass with 9 seconds left from their 47-yard line, which results in a wide-open touchdown pass. It completely deflates Kyle Field, as every single yell leader does the surrender cobra to become college football meme legends taking the place of the Michigan surrender cobra. You know you can imagine anything in your head, and it’s glorious.

• Notre Dame handles Toledo 45-21. Notre Dame takes the Rockets super seriously and jumps out to a 28-0 lead. Haunted by NIU, the Fighting Irish only give up a few late TDs to Toledo and cruise into the Semifinals.

• Iowa handles Duke 38-31 with a dramatic late score. The Hawkeyes were tied with Duke 31-31 and had a 4th down on Duke’s 42-yard line really late in the 4th quarter. Of course, Kirk Ferentz decides to punt, and they pin the Blue Devils at the 2-yard line. Duke was unable to move the ball backed up, and they’re forced to punt. The Hawkeyes return the punt for a touchdown in classic Iowa fashion. Kinnick Stadium explodes in joy. Kirk Ferentz has done it again!

ROUND 10 - The Semifinals

The Semifinals Breakdown - I make up fake things that happened in these games.

• Boise State gets a walk-off field goal to upset the Hurricanes 16-15. Miami couldn’t find a way to punch in a touchdown and had to settle for 5 red zone field goals in an incredibly frustrating day but a bend-but-don’t-break defensive performance by Boise State. The Hurricanes still led 15-13 after getting a field goal to take a late lead. In rainy and muddy conditions, the Broncos drove down and hit a 47 yard field goal for the winner and crushed all Miami fans in Hard Rock Stadium.

• Notre Dame crushes the Hawkeyes 45-12. Iowa could only manage four field goals on offense, all in the first 3 quarters. The Irish have seemingly been on a warpath since their stop in Memphis and Touchdown Jesus’ alleged powers gained from the Bass Pro Shop Pyramids.

ROUND 11 - The Final

Leading up to the game, Shreveport is an absolute madhouse as for the first time in its history, teams have been fighting tooth and nail just to make it here. However, Mother Nature has not been cooperating as there is a combination of snow and sleet weather for the game reminiscent of the 2000 Independence Bowl. Conditions are not conducive to much football, and both teams realize this game will be a war of attrition. A battle of field position, a game where going in one direction will put you at a disadvantage offensively… points will be at a premium...

The Championship Breakdown - I make up fake things that happened in this game.

Notre Dame holds off Boise State 11-3 in an incredible goalline stand in the snow to win an epic snow game that will not be forgotten. Notre Dame started the scoring when they blocked a punt for a safety and early 2-0 lead. Boise was able to manage a 28 yard field goal to take the lead 3-2 as the half expired. The Irish scored a touchdown to take an 8-3 lead when a Boise State defender slipped in coverage on the snowy field. They however missed the extra point only leading 8-3. A poor punt by Boise put Notre Dame at the edge of normal field goal range. The Irish lined up for a 39 yard field goal but Marcus Freeman called timeout to allow all the entire team to clean off the turf to attempt the field goal. One Irish player did a snow angel on the spot and magically made the turf clean for the kick. Was it Touchdown Jesus taking the shape of a Notre Dame lineman to become Field Goal Jesus? What exactly happened at the Bass Pro Shop Pyramid in Memphis? No one could tell due to the heavy sleet/snow mix falling down. The Irish kicker drilled the field goal with 10 minutes left in the game for an 11-3 lead. The Broncos were not deterred and began on a march down to try to tie the game at 11-3. Mounting a drive that took the rest of the clock. The Broncos methodically marched using an option rushing attack to try to battle the Irish and the elements. They got down to the Irish’s 2 yard line and scored a touchdown on a jet sweep but the Wide receiver hooked a cornerback attempting to make a tackle and holding was called. Boise continued to battle and got down to the Irish 1 yard line on 4th down. They decided they passed and it was incomplete but holding on the Irish gave them a new set of downs with under a minute left. Boise tried to score but their lineman couldn’t get the footing and just couldn’t punch it in. The Broncos had to spike it on 3rd down to save the final 3 seconds on the game clock. Boise ran to the pylon on the final play and attempted to reach for the endzone but was pulled down just short of the goalline. The pylon cam told the story of how close it was for the Broncos. The Irish ran on the field to joyously celebrate the first ever Sickos Committee FA Cup win.

Thank you for reading.

I didn’t know why I decided to make College Football Fan Fiction for this tournament but it felt like it needed it. Had to give this made up thing some lore when I do this again next year in the offseason… maybe… or I just completely lost my mind in making this with 764 teams.
