Historic playoff: Alabama-Cincinnati, Michigan-Georgia

Associated Press  

The AP Top 25 college football poll is back every week throughout the season! IRVING, Texas — As college football’s postseason evolved from disconnected bowls to the BCS to the current four-team playoff, it never truly embraced the underdog the way the NCAA basketball tournament does. The Bearcats will play Alabama in the Cotton Bowl on New Year’s Eve after being selected to the College Football Playoff on Sunday. “This is something probably many, many people never thought they would see.” Previously, no team from a so-called Group of Five conference had ever even come close to making the playoff. Cincinnati set the foundation for this year’s run by going unbeaten in the regular season last year before losing to Georgia on a late field goal in the Peach Bowl.
