The College Football Playoff committee has spoken, and the playoff is set. Clemson will face Oklahoma in the Orange Bowl, while Alabama meets Michigan State in the Cotton. There's very little dispute about any of this, although there's some angst about Oklahoma falling to the four seed. Regardless, everything will settle itself in a fashion which the vast majority of college football observers will deem fair and equltable.
We'll update this post later today when the remainder of the bowl announcements are released. The other four New Year's Six bowls will be announced at 2pm CT; what we know is that Oklahoma State will be the "road" team at the Sugar Bowl, and Stanford will "host" the Rose.
