College Football Playoff is SET; did committee get it right | CBS Sports HQ

After a rousing victory in the SEC Championship Game on Saturday night, Alabama maintained its projected spot and became the No. 1 seed in the College Football Playoff as determined Sunday by the CFP Selection Committee. The Crimson Tide (11-0) lead the four-team field that will battle for this year's national championship. Clemson (10-1), which opened the season at No. 1 in the other college football rankings and held that position until it suffered a regular-season loss to Notre Dame, claimed the No. 2 spot after dominating the Fighting Irish in a rematch to win the ACC championship on Saturday afternoon. Despite its loss, Notre Dame (10-1) only dropped two spots to No. 4 and holds the final spot in the playoff field. Sitting between those teams is Big Ten champion Ohio State (6-0), which slots at No. 3 in the CFP. The Buckeyes have been in the top four of the rankings since the first release in Week 14, and their positioning has been the cause of some controversy due to a shortened season that saw Ohio State only play about half as many games as its peers from the SEC and ACC.
