The official beginning of the 2020 college football season is expected to begin Sept. 10 when the Miami Hurricanes host UAB on a Thursday night.
College football was originally expected to begin on the final weekend of August before the COVID-19 pandemic altered the entire landscape of college sports.
Now that we are expected to have football in the ACC, SEC and Big 12, as well as the AAC and Sun Belt, it is never too early to begin looking at bowl projections.
Brad Crawford of 247Sports recently penned a column on how a 2020 postseason could look.

So, where did the defending national champion LSU Tigers land? In the Peach Bowl against the North Carolina Tar Heels of the ACC.
Crawford had Alabama vs. Oklahoma in the Rose Bowl in one College Football Playoff semifinal and Clemson vs. Florida in the Sugar Bowl for the other. He projects another Alabama/Clemson matchup in the national championship game.
Georgia is playing Notre Dame in the Orange Bowl.
LSU is replacing a multitude of starters on both sides of the ball this season. However, the Tigers return some elite talent such as Derek Stingley and JaMarr Chase combined with back-to-back top-five recruiting classes.
The Tigers should be expected to go as far as new quarterback Myles Brennan’s right arm will take them in 2020.
