The College Football Playoff is set, and the selection committee made the controversial move of leaving out undefeated ACC champion Florida State in favor of SEC champion Alabama. Michigan claimed the No. 1 spot while Washington came in at No. 2 and Texas jumped to No. 3 following a dominant win over Oklahoma State in the Big 12 title game.

FSU is the first undefeated Power 5 conference champion to miss the CFP.

Michigan, boasting a 13-0 record, solidified its spot in the Playoff for the third straight year by shutting out Iowa 26-0 to win the Big Ten title.

Washington punched its ticket by capping a perfect regular season with a 34-31 win over Oregon in the final Pac-12 championship.

Even though Florida State defeated Louisville 16-6 to win the ACC championship, the selection committee took into account the fact that the Seminoles lost star quarterback Jordan Travis to a season-ending leg injury suffered in a game against North Alabama on Nov. 18. FSU started its third-string QB, freshman Brock Glenn, against Louisville.

"Florida State is not the same team that they were for the first 11 weeks of the season," CFP chairman Boo Corrigan said.

Defending national champion Georgia won’t have a chance at a historic three-peat after the loss to Alabama knocked the Bulldogs to No. 6.

The schedule for the semifinals on New Year's Day:
