The College Bowl Selection Committee will make it official when the bowl matchups are announced on ESPN on Sunday from noon to 4 p.m., but we thought we'd take a shot.
Here are the easy projections: No. 1 Clemson, No. 2 Alabama, No. 3 Oklahoma, No. 5 Michigan State are in the playoffs.
The Spartans (12-1) provided plenty of drama on Championship Saturday, with an epic game-winning drive to beat Iowa, 16-13, in an old-school Big Ten championship game that was only missing leather helmets.

The Tigers (13-0) had some nervous moments at the end, but behind Deshaun Watson's brilliance they held off North Carolina 45-37 to win the Atlantic Coast Conference title and stay unbeaten.
Alabama (12-1) had it easy by comparison in the Southeastern Conference championship game against Florida. Derrick Henry and the Crimson Tide won, 29-15, to cruise into the playoff for the second straight season. The Tide is the only repeat team in the field.

Of course, nobody had it easier than the Sooners (11-1). They wrapped up their season and the Big 12 title last week and got to watch the rest of the playoff pieces fall into place like the rest of us
