It’s a huge night in the United States as the first 12 teams score on Tuesday College Football Playoff rankings.

After 10 seasons of a four-team playoffthe committee opted to go with a dozen teams this year, so here’s the refresher now that the first rankings are here.

The 1-4 seeds will be automatic bids ranked by the conference champions (or, for now, leaders), and will receive first-round byes. The following four at-large bid teams will host bracket-style playoff games (5 vs. 12, 6 vs. 11, 7 vs. 10, and 8 vs. 9).

The committee still ranks the teams in order, but the bracket rankings may not reflect the actual rankings.

Clear? Wonderful. Here’s your first 12-team bracket from the College Football Playoff Committee:

Automatic auction bids

1. Oregon (9-0, 6-0; Big Ten leader)

The Oregon ducks they are on their way to a perfect season and Dillon Gabriel can win the Heisman trophy. Their big win against defending champs Michigan puts them at No. 1, even though Indiana boasts the same record.

2. Georgia (7-1, 5-1; SEC leader)

Their only loss of the season was their instant classic in Tuscaloosa, but their schedule is still reeling. This weekend, they have a road date with TK Ole Miss and follow up with Tennessee. Texas A&M trails in the conference at 7-2 and 5-1 in the conference.

It should be noted that they are actually the third ranked team in the country; they are seeded no. 2 because the current second-ranked team in the country, Ohio State, does not lead the Big Ten.

3. Miami (9-0, 5-0; ACC leader)

The Hurricanes’ potent offense just put up 53 points and they remain the only undefeated team in the conference. Miami is the fourth seed in the country, but the automatic bidding system gives them the third seed.

4. BYU (8-0, 5-0; Big 12 leader)

Like Miami, the Cougars are the only undefeated team in the new-look Big 12. And like the ‘Canes, the system has their seed higher than their actual national ranking; the committee has them in 9th place overall.

Great deals:

5. Ohio State (7-1, 4-1; the committee ranks them No. 2, but since they don’t lead their conference, they’re the fifth seed in the bracket).

6. Texas (7-1, 3-1; ranked fifth in the nation)

7. Penn State (7-1, 4-1; sixth)

8. Tennessee (7-1, 4-1; ranked seventh)

10. Notre Dame (7-1)

11. Alabama (6-2, 3-2)

12. Boise State (7-1, 4-0)

On the bubble

SMU, Texas A&M and LSU round out the next three teams, respectively. No. 16 Ole Miss will likely find its way into the top 12 with a win over Georgia this weekend.

Never mind Deion Sanders’ team in Colorado. They are 20th with a relatively favorable schedule in the home race.
