First of all, Alabama will take Notre Dame to the woodshed. Their speed will dismantle their slower style of play. Alabama 42 – Notre Dame 17.
The nightcap will be the game of the day regardless of the result. Ohio State has a great chance to make that statement and win, but they must follow their game plan and make plays when it matters. For Clemson, they do not need to play a perfect game. The defense could struggle, yet Lawrence could do just enough to win it. Due to the fact I picked the Buckeyes last season, perhaps reverse psychology will bring about a different result.
Clemson 27 – Ohio State 23
If Ohio State wins, they will win it all. If Clemson wins, they will win it all. This semifinal is truly the National Championship and the biggest game of the year.
