I think this would have been 2021 bracket — assuming it’s seeded by playoff ranking for 5 thru 12 (i.e., league champs don’t automatically get positions 5&6) ... (this would assume each open-round couplet is locked into position w/ first-round bye team, but
@BMWallace noted above it might be re-seeded(?))
1 Alabama (aq)
8 Ole Miss vs 9 Oklahoma State
4 Baylor (aq)
5 Georgia vs 12 Michigan State
2 Michigan (aq)
7 Ohio State vs 10 Utah (aq)
3 Cincinnati (aq)
6 Notre Dame vs 11 Pitt (aq)
(aq) = automatic qualifier
Question: Would committee have option to swap seeds one line to avoid rematch (esp within conference) prior to quarterfinal round? E.g., Ohio State & ND (or maybe ND & Georgia) in this case? (If it's reseeded, that could be moot for the most part).
