College Football Playoff Semifinal
The College Football Playoff Semifinal matchups are set and fans are speculating on who will make it to the National Championship Game. The semifinal games will be played on Saturday, January 1, 2020. Here is a breakdown of the matchups:
#1 Alabama vs. #4 Clemson
This matchup is sure to be one of the most exciting in the College Football Playoff Semifinal series. Alabama has been dominant this season and looks like they are headed for another National Championship appearance. However, Clemson is no slouch either and could give Alabama a tough competition. This game should be a close contest with plenty of high-scoring opportunities.
#2 Ohio State vs. #3 Michigan State
Ohio State may have underperformed this season relative to their expectations, but they still have one of the strongest teams in all of college football. Michigan State, on the other hand, has had some inconsistency issues this season. However, if they can get their act together they pose a big threat to Ohio State’s title hopes. This game could go either way but with so many talented players on both sides it is sure to be an exciting matchup nonetheless.
