March Madness 2020: Who is the best NCAA champion of all-time? Here's who you voted as the champion of champions

AUSTIN, Texas — With the 2020 NCAA March Madness tournament canceled, I simply could not bare the thought of not having a bracket to fill out. 

So, to fill the "Madness" void we all feel, I figured I would poll all of you to see who you think is the best NCAA national champion from the past 64 years.

NCAA says no brackets for canceled tournaments

NCAA tried to save March Madness with 16 teams instead of 68, report says

NCAA cancels March Madness, Frozen Four, other championships

The bracket was seeded accordingly: 

1. Win percentage
2. If teams have the same win percentage, team with more total wins
3. If teams have the same win percentage and total wins, the team with the largest margin of victory in its national championship game
4. After that I'm going with the "newer" team, I’m running out of enough tiebreakers at this point

Each of these matchups will be posted in Twitter polls in a thread. The links to each poll will be embedded lower in this story so you can vote on each game.

Let's have some fun, people! Who is the best of the best? Here is an overall look at KVUE's NCAA best March Madness champions bracket (I will update this round to round):
