How a 64-team, March Madness-style bracket would look for college football in 2020

With March Madness being canceled amid the COVID-19 outbreak, there are still going to be plenty of brackets for people to vote on over the next month.
Obviously, a 64-team tournament would never work for college football, as playing 6 additional postseason games is a lot for bodies to take.
ESPN put together a bracket for college football recently, seeding teams based on their preseason FPI rankings. Here’s how each SEC team would be seeded (Arkansas just misses the field and Vanderbilt is also out):
- Alabama — No. 1 seed
- Texas A&M — No. 2 seed
- Georgia — No. 3 seed
- Florida — No. 3 seed
- LSU — No. 3 seed
- Auburn — No. 4 seed
- Tennessee — No. 5 seed
- Kentucky — No. 9 seed
- South Carolina — No. 9 seed
- Mississippi State — No. 10 seed
- Ole Miss — No. 11 seed
- Mizzou — No. 14 seed
- Arkansas — First Four Out
As impractical as it would be, that tournament would still be a lot of fun to watch. See the full bracket here.
