For all the drama and chaos that conference championships created in the college football landscape, it has all (kind of) finally come to an end.
Here’s a look at who the College Football Playoff selection committee has chosen to participate in the playoff, in order of their seeding.
1. Alabama
2. Clemson
3. Ohio State
4. Washington
That means Washington will play Alabama and Ohio State will play Clemson in the national semifinal games.
Ultimately, Ohio State’s only “punishment” for not playing in the Big Ten Conference Championship Game was to fall from No. 2 to No. 3, but it’s really only a change on paper as they still play Clemson in the national semifinal.
Big Ten champion Penn State and Michigan finished at Nos. 5 and 6, respectively.
