Unbeaten Cincinnati make history as they reach College Football Playoff

• Bearcats are first non-Power Five team to reach CFP
• Cincinnati will play Alabama and Michigan will face Georgia

Cincinnati will play Alabama and Michigan will face Georgia on New Year's Eve after being selected to the College Football Playoff as a surprise-free field of four was set on Sunday.

Fourth-seeded Cincinnati are the first team to break through college football's glass ceiling and reach the CFP from a non-Power Five conference. The Bearcats (13-0) won the American Athletic Conference and head into the postseason as the only unbeaten team in the country.
