The inaugural 12-team Playoff field is set.

As expected, Oregon leads the way as the undefeated, undisputed No. 1 overall seed. Three other B1G teams are part of the 12-team tournament.

Will the B1G produce a national champion in back-to-back seasons for the first time since Michigan State claimed a share of the titles in 1965 and 1966? (We know: Nebraska was the undisputed champion in 1994 and ’95, but the Cornhuskers were still in the old Big 12.)

Let’s take a look as we predict how far Oregon, Penn State, Ohio State and Indiana advance in the Playoff.

No. 1 Oregon (13-0)

The Ducks will play the winner of the Ohio State-Tennessee game in the Rose Bowl after enjoying their first-round bye. Dan Lanning’s squad beat Ohio State 32-31 in mid-October.

A rematch is a real possibility. In the meeting this season, Dillon Gabriel threw 2 touchdown passes and ran for another late score, completing 23-of-34 passes for 341 yards. He also ran for 32 yards on 4 carries, while Jordan James ran for 115 yards and a score. The Ducks were able to succeed against Ohio State’s tough defense, so the Buckeyes will need to make adjustments if there is a rematch.

The 8- vs. 9-seed game between the Buckeyes and Volunteers opened as the tightest betting matchup of the first round, with OSU showing as a 7-point favorite.

We expect the Ducks to advance to the semifinal, where they’ll face Clemson, Texas or Big 12 champion Arizona State.

Georgia, the No. 2 seed, is the favorite to advance to the title game from the other side of the bracket.

Oregon has been the best team in the country all season. The Ducks have as good of a chance as any team to advance to the national title game.

Prediction: Win the national championship, 27-21 over Georgia

No. 6 Penn State (11-2)

The Nittany Lions were playing for their first league title since 2016 but had their 4-game winning streak snapped in their loss to Oregon. Still, they held on to a first-round home game while earning their first Playoff bid.

James Franklin’s squad will get No. 11 SMU, which overcame a 24-7 halftime deficit to Clemson before falling on a walk-off field goal in the ACC title game. Sophomore Kevin Jennings grabbed the starting quarterback job from incumbent Preston Stone, and he has recorded 27 touchdowns with 3,050 passing yards and 379 yards on the ground.

Franklin is looking to notch a signature win in Happy Valley. He is 1-15 against top-5 teams in his Nittany Lions tenure, with the victory coming back in 2016. Drew Allar was solid in the setback to Oregon, going 20-of-39 with 236 yards, 3 touchdowns and 2 interceptions — the first pick led to an Oregon touchdown, though.

Assuming Penn State handles SMU, it will get Boise State in the Fiesta Bowl. The Broncos have a Heisman Trophy finalist star running back in Ashton Jeanty, who has rushed for 2,497 yards — the 4th-highest single-season total in FBS history. He has rushed for at least 125 yards in 13 straight games. He ran for 192 and 3 TDs in a 3-point loss at Oregon in Week 2. The Nittany Lions should be able to get by the Broncos, meaning a potential semifinal matchup with Georgia, Notre Dame or Indiana could await.

Prediction: Lose in semifinal, 27-20 to Georgia.

No. 8 Ohio State (10-2)

The Buckeyes have a first-round matchup with No. 9 Tennessee at The Horseshoe, and this could be a really livid Buckeyes squad coming off the loss to Michigan. Will Howard struggled against Michigan and will have to be much sharper and limit his mistakes. OSU will battle a less-than-whole Vols team that is paced by running back Dylan Sampson, whose 22 rushing touchdowns are a school record in a season. He ranks 6th nationally with an SEC-leading 1,485 rushing yards and has had 10 100-yard rushing games this year. The bad news, if you’re a Vols fan: As many as 4 key offensive players are dealing with injuries that could limit their effectiveness.

OSU would see Oregon again, in the Rose Bowl, if Ryan Day’s team is able to get past the Vols. That would be another difficult test.

Prediction: Lose in quarterfinal, 30-27 to Oregon.

No. 10 Indiana (11-1)

The Hoosiers have enjoyed a magical campaign behind the arm of Ohio transfer quarterback Kurtis Rourke, who ranks third in the country with a QBR of 85.7, has completed 70 percent of his passes, and thrown 27 touchdowns against just 4 interceptions. He did struggle in Indiana’s lone loss at Ohio State, though, passing for just 68 yards with only 8 completions. But he bounced back and tossed 6 touchdowns in the 66-0 victory over Purdue to conclude the regular season. The Hoosiers have been one of the best teams in the country in turnover margin, ranking fifth nationally. But Notre Dame is tied for second. The Hoosiers need to come up with some big plays defensively against a Fighting Irish squad that has yet to commit a turnover in the red zone this season.

Prediction: Lose in first round, 27-24 to Notre Dame.
