(AP) — The final four teams that will take part in the first-ever major college football playoff are Alabama as the top seed, followed by Oregon, Florida State and Ohio State. In the national semifinals, Alabama will face Ohio State in the Sugar Bowl while Oregon will go against Florida State in the Rose Bowl. Those games will take place on New Year’s Day with the national championship game on Jan. 12 in Arlington, Texas. The Big 12 was left out of the party as Baylor was the fifth ranked team with TCU sixth. In the previous rankings TCU was third but the Horned Frogs dropped despite a 55-3 win over last-place Iowa State in their final game of the regular season.

Ohio State moved up after its impressive 59-0 win over Wisconsin in the Big Ten title game. Committee chairman Jeff Long said the top three were clear and the final spot came down to a debate between the Buckeyes and Big 12 co-champs Baylor and TCU. Among those three, Long said: “It was decisive for Ohio State.”

In other bowl game matchups, TCU will play Mississippi in the Peach Bowl, Mississippi State will tangle with Georgia Tech in the Orange Bowl, the Cotton Bowl has Baylor against Michigan State, Arizona is facing Boise State in the Fiesta Bowl, Toledo is going to play Arkansas State in the GoDaddy Bowl, Rice will play Fresno State in the Hawaii Bowl, San Diego State has accepted an invitation to play Navy in the hometown Poinsettia Bowl.

Air Force of the Mountain West Conference will face Western Michigan of the Mid-American Conference in the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl, Western Kentucky and Central Michigan will meet in the Bahamas Bowl, Bowling Green and South Alabama will play in the Camellia Bowl, South Carolina will face Miami in the Independence Bowl, Louisiana-Lafayette will face Nevada in the New Orleans Bowl, Marshall and Northern Illinois will meet in the Boca Raton Bowl.

Utah State will face UTEP in the New Mexico Bowl, in the Las Vegas Bowl Colorado State will meet Utah, Missouri and Minnesota will meet in the Citrus Bowl, Stanford and Maryland will play in the Foster Farms Bowl, the Military Bowl has Virginia Tech facing Cincinnati and Oklahoma State will duke it out with Washington in the Cactus Bowl.
