Here's all the first-round matchup:quote:
A quick reminder: the 12-team playoff debuts this year, as chosen by the College Football Playoff selection committee.
The five highest-ranked conference champions — regardless of ranking — receive an automatic bid to the playoff with the final spots going to the remaining seven highest-ranked teams.
The four highest-ranked conference champions receive byes into the quarterfinals and will be seeded Nos. 1-4 regardless of their selection committee ranking (even if they're “ranked” No. 3, 5, 12 and 24).
