They're out, right? But we all know a team like Alabama that loses one early can get right back into the running in the current system.

Second, I still see scheduling issues. All 64 teams would have to leave weeks 2 and 6 open in case they advance. Or you would have to allow for cancellations.

The specific issues with either Al's or my suggestions I consider irrelevant. We are not that close to reality to deal with scheduling, cancellations or the like to make a change work. At least my system has a track record of workability in jolly old England.
