The four teams that were selected by the Committee will get the opportunity at College Football immortality.

The field includes three conference champions, and a one loss Ohio State team that ran the gauntlet in the toughest conference in the country. Alabama (SEC), Washington (PAC-12), and Clemson (ACC), all claimed their conferences, with No. 1 seeded Alabama completing an undefeated regular season.
