The field will consist of the five highest-rated conference champions and the next seven highest-ranked at-large teams. In terms of seeding, the four highest-ranked conference champions will receive a first-round bye. Meanwhile, seeds five through eight will serve as hosts for the four first-round matchups.
Many bubble teams, like Alabama and Miami (Fla.), are awaiting Sunday's reveal with bated breath. Others, like Texas and Penn State, are merely waiting to see which teams they will face.
