The No. 11 SMU Mustangs and the No. 6 Penn State Nittany Lions will face off in the first round of the College Football Playoffs (CFP). The match will take place at Beaver Stadium in Pennsylvania on Saturday, Dec. 21, and is scheduled to start at 12 p.m. ET/9 a.m. PT.
SMU is 11-2 overall and 8-0 in conference. The Mustangs lost in the Atlantic Coast Conference championship to the Clemson Tigers, knocking them out of a top-four seed. Penn State is 11-2 overall and 8-1 in conference in the Big Ten.
The CFP has moved to a 12-team playoff format that allows the highest ranked winners of the top four conferences to take the top four seeds. The highest ranked winner of a fifth conference will take the 12th seed, if the team is not ranked higher than 12. The rest of the playoff field is filled out by ranking in a bracket released by the CFP committee. The top four seeds earn a first-round bye.
The winner of SMU vs. Penn State will go on to face the Boise State Broncos in the Fiesta Bowl.
