Since we can pretty much write off a normal 2020 college football season, let's do something to take advantage of a once-in-a-lifetime situation.
SEPTEMBER MADNESS
Seed all 130 FBS teams from 1 to 130.
Week 1, have #127 vs #130 and #128 vs #129. The winners get re-seeded to #127 and #128.
Next seed the entire 128 teams into a playoff bracket. #1 vs 128, #2 vs #127, etc.
Week 2, all teams play. Winners advance in the bracket, losers go to the losers bracket. Make it a double elimination format.
Week 3, keep playing! It only takes 7 weeks to crown the ultimate playoff champion! Any team that can't play due to covid goes to the losers bracket after a week off, or is eliminated if they already have one loss.
7 weeks. A lot of slack built in the calendar to spread out weeks as needed. A way forward for teams with one loss. Winners proceed until a champ is decided. Maybe have the final 8 teams quarantined under one roof to serve as a bubble.
Crazy idea??
