The College Football Playoff selection committee has finalized the 12-team field, leaving many questions unanswered, particularly the inclusion of SMU over Alabama. The final at-large spot went to SMU (11-2), while Alabama (9-3) was omitted from the field after not making its conference title game.
For the rest of the bracket, the selected teams are:
1. Oregon (13-0, Big Ten champion)
2. Georgia (11-2, SEC champion)
3. Boise State (12-1, Mountain West champion)
4. Arizona State (11-2, Big 12 champion)
The first-round matchups will be as follows:
– No. 12 Clemson at No. 5 Texas on Dec. 20
– No. 11 SMU at No. 6 Penn State on Dec. 21
– No. 10 Indiana at No. 7 Notre Dame on Dec. 21
– No. 9 Tennessee at No. 8 Ohio State on Dec. 21
