And so we meet again.
The No. 1-ranked Alabama Crimson Tide and No. 2 Clemson Tigers are back in the College Football Playoff National Championship for the second year in a row. Although the CFP semifinals happened on New Year's Eve, it didn't take long for oddsmakers to make their predictions.
After defeating the Washington Huskies in the Peach Bowl by a score of 24-7, the Crimson Tide solidified their place as one of the top two teams in the nation with a dominant run game led by Bo Scarbrough, who ran for 180 yards and two touchdowns, and a stout defensive front seven that caused Huskies quarterback Jake Browning headaches all day long.
