After being on the outside looking in last year, Alabama and Miami can breathe a sigh of relief as the Crimson Tide and Hurricanes were the last at-large teams selected -- ahead of Notre Dame -- for the 12-team College Football Playoff field announced Sunday.

Undefeated Big Ten champion Indiana (13-0) earned the No. 1 seed, while two Group of 5 teams -- American Conference champion Tulane (11-2) and Sun Belt victor James Madison (12-1) -- were selected for the second iteration of the 12-team CFP field.

The Hoosiers, who won their first outright Big Ten title since 1945 with a 13-10 victory over Ohio State on Saturday night, will receive a first-round bye, along with the No. 2-seeded Buckeyes (12-1), No. 3 Georgia (12-1) and No. 4 Texas Tech (12-1).
