(4) Notre Dame Fighting Irish at (1) Alabama Crimson Tide– The million dollar question was would the Fighting Irish make it? They were embarrassed at the hands of a healthy Clemson Tigers team in the ACC title game. We knew who would take the top seeds in the bracket. Now, we know! For just the second time ever, the Irish are a playoff team. Alabama is the top seed in the field of four once again. This game will now be played in Dallas instead of California. I’m all for this quarterback match up. Ian Book against Mac Jones. The stingy Notre Dame defense against the fast Alabama offense.
(3) Ohio State Buckeyes at (2) Clemson Tigers– Here we are again. These two met last year in the Fiesta Bowl and it was a thrilling game that saw Clemson survive an intense battle with the Ohio State Buckeyes. For the second time, we will see Justin Fields and Trevor Lawrence face off for a trip to the National Title game. Clemson is clicking at the right time once again and Ohio State needed everything from Trey Sermon to win the Big Ten title game. New Orleans will be rocking for this one on New Year’s Day.
