Oklahoma's CFP berth not only helped Big 12, but also prevented playoff committee from opening Pandora's box

GRAPEVINE -- Oklahoma won a contentious selection committee debate in Grapevine and earned the fourth and final spot in the College Football Playoff.

The Sooners (12-1) are headed to a meeting with No. 1 Alabama (13-0) in the Capital One Orange Bowl in the national semifinals. No. 2 Clemson (13-0) will face No. 3 Notre Dame (12-0) in the Goodyear Cotton Bowl at AT&T Stadium. Both games are Dec. 29.

Clemson coach Dabo Swinney was pumped to make his first visit to AT&T Stadium, donning a cowboy hat on ESPN, even if he wasn't quite sure of the location.
