The SEC still throws the most bodies at the field with five bids, from Georgia and Alabama, but the league's depth shows up more in volume than in seeding, with only Texas and Georgia cracking the top five. The last spot goes to Boise State at the No. 12 seed, while Oklahoma sits one spot outside as the first team left home, a reminder that the gap between "in" and "out" at the bottom of this field is razor thin.

| 3 | Notre Dame Fighting Irish | 11-1 |
| 4 | Oregon Ducks | 10-2 |
| 5 | Georgia Bulldogs | 10-2 |
