The only drama surrounding the four-team College Football Playoff field involved the seedings.
As expected following conference championship weekend, LSU, Ohio State, Clemson and Oklahoma are in. The Bayou Bengals moved up a spot and got the crucial No. 1 seed following a dominating win over Georgia in the SEC championship game. No. 2 Ohio State, which fell from No. 1 after a comeback win over Wisconsin in the Big Ten championship game, will have to face No. 3 Clemson in the semifinals. The defending national champions haven’t lost since falling to Alabama in the Sugar Bowl at the end of the 2017 season and they demolished Virginia in the ACC championship game.
