GRAPEVINE, Texas – The College Football Playoff selection committee has spoken – and it likes the SEC.
At least for now.

The selection committee will ultimately pick the four teams to play in the national semifinals and set the matchups for the other four big New Year’s Day bowls that are part of the playoff rotation.
