Bracket Set! What CFB Playoff seed did Texas Football get?

The college football playoff committee has done the Texas Longhorns a favor in the seeding. What seed did UT get?

Texas’ 22-19 OT loss to Georgia in the SEC Championship Game cost the Horns the No. 2 seed and a first round bye. But the College Football Playoff committee didn’t punish the Longhorns too badly.

The Longhorns get the top at-large seed. UT is No. 5 and will host No. 12 seed Clemson in the first round. The winner will play Big 12 champ No. 4 seed Arizona State.

Georgia has been given the No. 2 seed and will play the winner of No. 7 Notre Dame and No. 10 Indiana.

Top seeded Oregon will face the winner of No. 8 Ohio State and No. 9 Tennessee. Boise State nabs the No. 3 seed and will play the winner of No. 6 Penn State and No. 11 SMU.

ACC champ Clemson is the lone conference champion that didn’t get a first round bye. ACC championship game loser SMU is actually seeded one higher than the Tigers.
