The College Football Playoff Selection Show either made you really happy or not so much. The bowl games have been set and now it’s time to set your reminders and DVRs so you don’t miss any of the action.
The top six teams are Clemson, Oklahoma, Georgia, Alabama, Ohio State and Wisconsin. Though not entirely unexpected, eyebrows were raised by the absence of Pac-12 and Big Ten representation on the big stage. The top four teams will face off in the Sugar Bowl and Rose Bowl to determine who goes to the National Championship game on January 8.
