There will be no matchup between Alabama and Clemson in this edition of the College Football Playoff.
No. 3 Ohio State and QB Justin Fields blitzed the No. 2 Tigers 49-28 on Friday night in the Sugar Bowl to advance to the national championship game on Jan. 11 against No. 1 Alabama.
It will be the first time Ohio State (7-0) has played for the national championship since the Buckeyes beat Oregon to end the 2014 season. And it’ll be the first time Ohio State plays Alabama since it beat the Crimson Tide in the semifinals of that inaugural College Football Playoff.
