After four-plus months of on-field results and politicking by coaches, athletic directors and fans, the College Football Playoff selection committee announced Sunday the 12-team field.
The biggest question coming into Sunday was who would earn the final at-large spot between Alabama and SMU.
The committee put SMU (11-2) in the field one night after it lost 34-31 to Clemson on the last-second field goal in the ACC championship game. Alabama (9-3) is out after not making its conference title game.

The SEC needs to split into East/West Divisions. It’s a perfect setup, not sure why it’s not done.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Anyone of those teams would have a better record than SMU if they played SMU’s schedule.
Speculation.
Yes, there was speculation on the choice of SMU.
Glad to see SMU representing the ACC ... not.
The committee made a poor decision
The Mustangs just need to outdo the NL by 5 TDs in the final 12 minutes and it’s all fine for them ;)
NL showing mercy. Putting in the backup QB.
They should have lost to BYU and then BYU would be in that spot.
