"Undefeated Big Ten champion Indiana (13-0) earned the No. 1 overall seed, while two Group of 5 teams -- American Conference champ Tulane (11-2) and Sun Belt victor James Madison (12-1) -- were selected to the CFP field to deny any representation from the ACC. In addition to the Hoosiers, No. 2 seed Ohio State (12-1), No. 3 Georgia (12-1) and No. 4 Texas Tech (12-1) were awarded first-round byes, guaranteed to the four highest teams in the rankings."
"The Fighting Irish (10-2) were the first team out as the committee took Alabama (10-3) and Miami (10-2) instead. The Crimson Tide, which stayed at No. 9 after their 28-7 loss to Georgia in the SEC championship game, will visit No. 8 seed Oklahoma (10-2) in the first round. Miami, which didn't play Saturday after failing to advance to the ACC championship game, will visit No. 7 Texas A&M (11-1)."
A 12-team College Football Playoff field was announced with undefeated Big Ten champion Indiana earning the No. 1 overall seed.

First-round matchups include Alabama at Oklahoma, Miami at Texas A&M, Tulane at Ole Miss and James Madison at Oregon. The first-round games occur Dec. 19-20 at higher-seed campus sites, with quarterfinals and semifinals on traditional New Year dates.
