Here’s how the process works: Using ESPN’s preseason Football Power Index, teams are seeded 1 through 64.

This year, FPI’s top four seeds — Clemson, Alabama, Georgia and LSU — all occupy the same general area, so I had to be a bit creative about which team headlines each region.

Since LSU is No. 4, the Tigers will have to win in the west to reach their first football Final Four.
