ATLANTA — The Oklahoma Sooners (12-1) received the final slot in the four-team College Football Playoff on Sunday over primary contenders Ohio State (12-1) and Georgia (11-2), a move that will likely minimize the potential for controversy in the playoff’s fifth season.
The other three teams chosen for the playoff are No. 1 Alabama (13-0), No. 2 Clemson (13-0) and No. 3 Notre Dame (12-0).
In the national semifinals, Clemson will play Notre Dame at the Cotton Bowl in Arlington, Tex.
