The College Football Playoff semifinal results perfectly captured where the sport is right now.
First, we had one of the best Rose Bowls, playoff games, bowl games... or really just games, period, in a long time. Georgia's thrilling (and that's an understatement) 54-48 win over Oklahoma in double overtime solidified Kirby Smart's Bulldogs as the rising challenger to Alabama in the SEC.
And appropriately, Georgia now advances to the championship game to face Alabama -- a team that didn't win its own division, but was nevertheless one of the best teams in the country this season, as they have been since Nick Saban's second year in Tuscaloosa.
