The SEC Champion Alabama Crimson Tide (12-1) will be the top seed going into the inaugural college football playoff.

After a season filled with blowouts, NFL teams finally played some close games in Week 12. Here’s a recap of this week’s highlights:

According to Livability.com, Lufkin beat out cities all across the country to take the title.
