COLLEGE STATION, Texas — After completing the most successful season for their program since 1992, the Aggies find themselves in their first College Football Playoff as the No. 7 seed.

Indiana was announced as the No. 1 seed in the College Football Playoff’s 12-team bracket released Sunday.
The undefeated Hoosiers vaulted to the top spot based on their history-making win in the Big Ten title game against Ohio State, which fell one spot after its 13-10 loss. SEC champion Georgia was third and and Big 12 champ Texas Tech fourth. All four get first-round byes.
Most of the drama surrounded the bubble teams, and it was Alabama at No. 9 and Miami at No. 10 making the field by leapfrogging Notre Dame, which lost to the Hurricanes during opening week.
American Conference champion Tulane got the 11th spot and Sun Belt champion James Madison got the last spot over Duke, the champion of the Atlantic Coast Conference.
