No. 1 Alabama advances to College Football Playoff title game with 27-6 win over No. 4 Cincinnati in the Goodyear Cotton Bowl Classic

ARLINGTON, Texas -- The house that Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones built continues to be the house that Alabama coach Nick Saban owns.

In No. 1 Alabama's seventh appearance in the College Football Playoff, the sport's dominant power over the last decade defeated No. 4 Cincinnati, the playoff's first non-Power 5 team, 27-6 in the Goodyear Cotton Bowl Classic.

The win puts Alabama (13-1) in the title game for the fifth time in six years and one step closer to winning their fourth title since the introduction of the playoff system.
