Big Ten champion Oregon locked up the No. 1 seed, SEC champion Georgia earned the No. 2 seed while No. 3 seed Boise State and No. 4 seed Arizona State finished off the first-round byes. But Sunday’s 12-team reveal wasn’t without some drama. Even with a dozen teams in the playoff field, the selection committee couldn’t avoid a few snubs.

Trailing 31-14 entering the fourth quarter, the Mustangs went on a 17-0 run to tie the game with 16 seconds left. The Tigers drilled a 56-yard field goal as time expired to earn an automatic playoff bid.
